Campus Ace Girl

Chapter 1048 - 1047: I’ve Had Enough of This Crap

They didn’t have much to say, and about an hour later, Mrs. Bo personally came to call everyone for dinner, accompanied by Jiang’s mother.Because it was the second day of the wedding, the Orchid Room was still vibrant with joy. Jiang’s mother kept praising the remarkable atmosphere, "I always knew Si Garden had the finest scenery in Beicheng, but I never imagined it would be like this."

Mrs. Bo smiled lightly, not boastful, and took Jiang’s mother around to have a look.

Jiang’s mother was very adept socially; when no one was around, she started talking about her and her daughter’s situation in the Jiang Family. At emotional points, she couldn’t help but choke up a bit. Lin Yun, though strong, was empathetic, soothingly saying, "Now Chaoge can stand on her own, and good days are ahead."

Jiang’s mother sighed, forcing a smile, "Though that’s what I say, I’m always a bit worried, I feel uneasy about the trip to Jiangcheng."

Mrs. Bo then asked, "What would make it stable then?"

Jiang’s mother stopped walking, her gaze burning towards Mrs. Bo, "I’d feel assured if Mr. Wang gave his approval."

Mrs. Bo just smiled without speaking.

Jiang’s mother couldn’t wait for a response and felt a bit anxious, "I’m not talking about Chaoge and Mr. Wang’s personal matters, I’m talking about that experimental project."

Mrs. Bo continued to smile gently, giving Jiang’s mother an out, "They don’t have any personal matters, and as for the project, Mr. Wang shouldn’t be involved. It’s best to have fewer entanglements given Mr. Wang’s position. Moreover, he’s probably avoiding suspicion since there is someone at home."

Although Jiang’s mother didn’t understand those affairs, she understood what Mrs. Bo was talking about and nodded in agreement, "That’s true, Mr. Wang is married, so naturally, he won’t be too close to Chaoge."

She spoke with a hint of disappointment.

Mrs. Bo led her forward gently, "Do you feel sorry for Chaoge? Actually, there’s nothing to regret in such matters: forced marriages mostly lead to unhappiness, especially with someone as unfathomable as Mr. Wang."

Jiang’s mother immediately replied, "Indeed, Mr. Wang frightens me. He always smiles, but you never know when he’ll come up with an idea that startles you."

Feeling somewhat embarrassed, she said, "I still think Chaoge and Chen Ming are the most compatible."

Mrs. Bo chuckled, "Chen Ming is a good kid, but it seems his heart is set elsewhere."

Jiang’s mother paused, feeling a bit uncomfortable.

Later, Mrs. Bo diverted the topic and took her to Gu Anxi’s private collection room, which Jiang’s mother praised without end. Not knowing they were called figures, she thought they were childish and exclaimed, "Anxi still enjoys playing with these."

The room is full of them, how much must they cost?

Mrs. Bo pretended to be angry, "This child always thinks about playing. Everything is played halfway and then abandoned, a child’s temperament."

Jiang’s mother smiled, "Having children will be good."

Mrs. Bo glanced at Gu Anxi, then was full of tenderness, "How could we bear it? Her body is quite weak and needs to recuperate for a couple of years."

Jiang’s mother thought, "Indeed, last time’s injury was quite severe."

They continued with concerns and then moved to the front hall.

With the Bo’s family and a few guests, the atmosphere was naturally very delicate, and everyone was courteous. With more people from Jiang’s family, Mrs. Bo found Lu Heng more agreeable, at least with more people, this kid was embarrassed to keep staring at her child.

After dinner, Jiang’s mother and daughter naturally said their goodbyes, and Lu Heng didn’t have the face to stay longer, taking his coat and leaving.

Outside in the parking lot, Lu Heng leaned against the car and lit a cigarette, asking Jiang Chaoge, "Why did you return to Beicheng?"

"My mother wasn’t feeling well, so I came back for two days, going back to Jiangcheng tomorrow. How about you?" Jiang Chaoge hadn’t seen him in Jiangcheng for several days, although Lu Ze was there, she dared not ask.

She admitted to being a bit afraid of Lu Family’s father and son; Lu Heng was aloof, and Lu Ze didn’t seem like a good person. She tried to avoid conflicts with them.

After asking, Lu Heng replied indifferently, "I’m going back tomorrow too."

Then he got in the car and started it. Jiang Chaoge realized and patted on the car door, "Lu Shixiong, your hand is injured, you shouldn’t drive. Let me take you... "

However, no matter how she patted or chased the car, Lu Heng drove off.

Jiang Chaoge ran over ten meters but couldn’t catch up, and had to come back, only to see her mother with a speechless expression when she got in the car. She fastened her seatbelt, and after a while, lightly said, "Mom, I can’t afford to offend the Lu Family."

Jiang’s mother felt sorry for her daughter, looking worried, "You deal with them day in and day out, don’t you feel stifled?"

Jiang Chaoge was overwhelmed with emotion. How could she not feel stifled? Both had a foul demeanor, acting as if they were royalty. Moreover, it wasn’t just the two of them; there was also Lu Xueman, who used her status as Mrs. Lu to treat her like a servant, often calling her—

"Xiao Jiang, I’m out of toner, you need to find this brand somehow... Jiangcheng doesn’t have it, you need to get it from abroad."

"Xiao Jiang, help me book a beauty appointment."

"Xiao Jiang..."

...

Jiang Chaoge especially disliked Lu Xueman, finding her overly pretentious. But for the sake of the project, she had to swallow her pride. This time she saw Uncle Jiang Bin, who repeatedly emphasized the importance of succeeding with the project.

Thinking of these things made her very frustrated, but she didn’t want her mother to worry, so she smiled and said, "It’s okay."

Jiang’s mother looked at her, but Jiang Chaoge quickly brushed it off with a smile.

After they left, Mrs. Bo stood far away, breathing a sigh of relief, "Finally got them sent off."

She went to the study where Bo Nianyao and Bo Xichen were talking, seemingly discussing Jiangcheng’s matters. Seeing her enter, Bo Nianyao smiled, "They’re gone?"

Mrs. Bo nodded, sitting down to have a sip of tea, "Yes, finally used the opportunity to send Lu Heng away with them."

She turned to Bo Xichen, "I heard he fractured his palm secretly following the kid in Qingcheng?"

Bo Xichen smiled silently.

Mrs. Bo cursed lightly, "Really, the old is unreliable, the young aren’t any better; the old plays glow-in-the-dark card games, the young is a stalker."

After scolding, Bo Nianyao rubbed his nose, admitting to himself.

Mrs. Bo finally vented, "What, Xichen and the kid just finished the wedding and now you’re heading to Jiangcheng? Not the best use of labor, is it?"

Bo Nianyao moved over and patted his wife’s hand, talking gently, "It’s just too busy over there; we need to speed up the project’s progress, Mr. Wang is counting on it."

At the mention of this, Mrs. Bo got irritated, "Look at you guys, aspiring, Mr. Wang’s high status is fine, but you’re just groveling to recognize a master."

With her sharp tongue, Bo Nianyao was quite helpless, telling his son, "Xichen, look at your mom, she’s fierce."

Then he explained the stakes gently, and Mrs. Bo finally relented, though she felt somewhat reluctant, not only reluctant for their young son but also reluctant for her husband. Bo Nianyao naturally understood her feelings.

That night, the couple talked a lot, and the next day Bo Nianyao took Bo Xichen and Gu Anxi to Jiangcheng. King Jingyao personally saw them off, but didn’t go to the office after that, instead returning to the elderly lady’s place.

Lin Hua was just about to get up when he entered and closed the door.
