Campus Ace Girl

Chapter 1047 - 1046: A Blessing You Cannot Attain

Mrs. Bo smiled, "Chaoge is becoming prettier."Saying this, she glanced at Lu Heng.

Lu Heng felt worse off than Jiang Chaoge, and he naturally knew Mrs. Bo’s wariness towards him. That night, he slept at Si Garden, and the Bo couple probably treated him like a thief. Now they’ve not only invited Jiang Chaoge but also brought her mother over.

Lu Heng has always been somewhat proud and arrogant, hardly paying attention to others, even to Jiang Chaoge, whom he barely acknowledges, let alone Jiang’s mother. Although he nodded, he was indifferent, distant. Jiang’s mother wasn’t foolish; she could tell at a glance that he had no ties with her daughter, and she didn’t insist. Although she belonged to a collateral line, she had some insight into knowing Mrs. Bo’s extraordinary status; cozying up certainly wouldn’t hurt. Therefore, she warmly pulled over Gu Anxi, lovingly gave her a gift, and this affection made Jiang Chaoge slightly unhappy.

Jiang’s mother looked back at her—

Jiang Chaoge changed her expression.

Mrs. Bo noticed but didn’t mind, she held Jiang’s mother’s hand, chatting casually, and invited the young people to hang out together. As the host, Gu Anxi reluctantly entertained Jiang Chaoge, while Lu Heng preferred not to see Gu Anxi if it meant being paired with Jiang Chaoge, so he went with Bo Xichen to the gym.

As soon as they entered, Lu Heng smirked, "Brother Bo, do you still have energy to work out?"

Bo’s uncle gave a faint smile, "Anxi hasn’t been feeling well lately."

A simple sentence painted a vivid picture for Lu Heng, then Bo Xichen’s stormy devil training made him clench his fist.

His stamina is truly impressive!

He thought of Gu Anxi again, tall and slender, very delicate.

At this time, the tall and slender figure was leaning on the toy house sofa in the Orchid Room, while Jiang Chaoge looked around the room, sometimes exclaiming. Her family conditions were poor in her childhood, but she liked these things, and many of them were unique, rare items. Just one word to describe them, expensive.

Gu Anxi was lazily hugging a little pig pillow on the sofa, "If you like anything, take it."

Although Jiang Chaoge liked them very much, she was unwilling to accept things from Gu Anxi, only feeling some envy and jealousy. This girl’s life was particularly exquisite and carefree. As if that day’s wedding was just a formality, it didn’t affect her at all. She continued to live like a child, doing whatever she wanted, worshiped by everyone.

Jiang Chaoge was about to say something when a young girl entered, delivering flower tea. She bent down, placed it down, and winked at Gu Anxi, "The cup on the left has a plum."

Gu Anxi nodded, and the girl cheerfully left.

Jiang Chaoge moved over to pick up a cup of tea to drink, Gu Anxi wanted to remind her that the cup had a plum, but reconsidered since Jiang Chaoge had already drunk it.

Jiang Chaoge took a sip and frowned, "What taste is this, so strange."

"It’s green plum," Gu Anxi said softly, "The other cup doesn’t have any, I didn’t get to mention."

Jiang Chaoge felt somewhat uncomfortable. She didn’t particularly like drinking this cup, finding the taste unusual. But thinking that she lacked the fortune to drink it, guessing it was specially prepared by Mrs. Bo for Gu Anxi, she felt uneasy, even elevating to a class perspective.

So, she smiled, "I thought both cups were the same, turns out they’re not. You like this taste?"

Gu Anxi picked up the other cup, took a small sip, then smiled, "Not really, just got used to adding a plum when drinking medicine, gradually I liked adding one to everything."

Jiang Chaoge was a bit stunned, then muttered, "So it was a habit."

Gu Anxi looked at her, amused, "Did you think it was some extraordinary fortune?"

Jiang Chaoge felt a little jolt, involuntarily glanced at Gu Anxi again, this girl really was amazing, always easily seeing through others.

Gu Anxi didn’t bother with her, slowly sipping her tea.

Jiang Chaoge didn’t have her resilience, eventually spoke first, "Gu Anxi, I don’t need your charity-like kindness, what you have, one day I will also have."

Gu Anxi stared at her, innocently gazed for a while, then slowly said, "You might misunderstand; I’ve never felt I have much, nor do I feel you have little."

Jiang Chaoge hesitantly spoke, "Don’t you have many things?"

"Yes," Gu Anxi smiled, "But for me, the essentials are only uncle, and father Bo and mother Bo. The rest aren’t important, here in Si Garden."

Jiang Chaoge wanted to retort, at that moment a soft cough came from the door, "That’s all there is?"

Gu Anxi peeked and rolled her eyes, "That’s all."

Just then, Old Master Bo came in with a cane, ignoring Jiang Chaoge, he directly tossed a big red envelope on the coffee table, then lightly huffed and stormed out.

Gu Anxi made a face at his back, "Stingy ghost."

Old Master Bo was angrily huffing, "I’m unnecessary then!"

Saying this, he vanished.

He appeared for about a minute, Jiang Chaoge was entirely stunned, after a while she said, "You talk to the old master like that?"

"What’s wrong with it?" Gu Anxi picked up the red envelope and opened it, inside was nothing else but a stack of gold bills from a few years ago, counted a total of 99, they were already out of print, and the old master must have struggled to gather them, heartache enduring for long.

Gu Anxi appreciated them, quite liked them, Jiang Chaoge looked at her for a long time before she couldn’t help saying, "You and old master get along well?"

"Pretty much. A relationship of mutual respect." Gu Anxi flicked the gift appreciatively.

At this moment, Old Master suddenly poked his head at the doorframe, his old face stern, "This is your meeting gift, no talk of respect or disrespect."

Gu Anxi found a delicate box to store them, then looked, Old Master had left again.

Jiang Chaoge asked, "Does the old master live with you?"

Gu Anxi thought for a while, "Yes, lives in the Orchid Room guest room. What’s wrong?"

Jiang Chaoge hesitated, "Wouldn’t it be inconvenient?"

She thought Gu Anxi might feel somewhat awkward, she said so to make Gu Anxi awkward, but Gu Anxi, while tapping her gold bills, casually said, "The soundproofing is excellent."

This time, Jiang Chaoge was left speechless.

Gu Anxi put things away, then came back to sip some tea, continuing the previous topic, "What you have should be enough to make you happy."

Gu Anxi finished speaking, Jiang Chaoge instinctively refuted, Gu Anxi wasn’t bothered, arguing over what really, some people can’t figure things out for themselves, there’s no point arguing, Jiang Chaoge argued endlessly, ultimately achieving nothing.

Instead, she felt some sympathy for her, fearing her future might be bleak.
