All students at Qing University were in an uproar. Gu Anxi had directly issued a challenge to Qin Siyuan. With more than half a year left until his graduation, if he lost this election, his reputation in his final year would be in tatters! At Qing University, he would forever be a figure of ridicule.
Qin Siyuan’s expression was grave. "Gu Anxi, do you know what you’re doing? You’ve completely lost control. Emperor’s Color can’t possibly be yours. Lies always come with a price."
"All I know is that evil deeds ultimately have to be paid for," Gu Anxi said softly. "Besides, how can you claim to like someone you don’t even bother to understand? Wouldn’t you agree, Young Master Qin?"
Lately, she had taken to calling him Young Master Qin. Someone else used to call him that too, so he was irritated every time Gu Anxi addressed him this way, as if she already completely belonged to another person.
Truth be told, he had intended to give up on her. However, whenever he saw her with someone else, saw her so gently by that person’s side, he would burn with jealousy. He didn’t love Shen Wanqing; he didn’t... He loved Gu Anxi, but he could no longer voice his love. He couldn’t even refute what she was saying now. He only hoped she wouldn’t go too far.
Emperor’s Color was Beicheng Gu Changqing’s enterprise. How could it possibly belong to Gu Anxi?
The atmosphere grew heavier with anticipation. More and more people began to doubt Gu Anxi.
Professor Gao scoffed, "She’s getting too big for her boots."
Shen Wanqing let out a soft laugh. She intended to return the slap Gu Anxi had delivered to her face.
She took a step forward and spoke softly, "Gu Anxi, let me tell you some more good news. After the Beicheng Jiaxing auction, Uncle Qin will gift me the Gu family villa—the home you grew up in—as an engagement gift for Siyuan and me."
Gu Anxi looked somewhat surprised, then said vaguely, "Oh? When the time comes, I can lend it to you for your engagement. However, if it’s at the Gu family villa, you’ll only have the status of a Gu family servant. You wouldn’t like that, would you?"
Shen Wanqing sneered, "Gu Anxi, don’t get too full of yourself!"
Mr. Li then spoke up, "I heard that the villa has already been returned to Gu Anxi’s name. Someone gifted it to her."
So rich, right? Makes one envious, doesn’t it? Jealous, even? This young lady is too devious. It’s becoming unbearable to watch!
Shen Wanqing couldn’t believe it. She looked towards Qin Siyuan. Qin Siyuan had no information about this either. Besides, he’d always considered it the Gu family’s villa. If possible, he would have wanted to buy it and give it to... Gu Anxi.
Seeing no support forthcoming, Shen Wanqing’s expression turned cold. "It’s just the Gu family villa. What we need to see now is the ownership of Emperor’s Color. Otherwise, Gu Anxi, you’ll also face disciplinary action, and then we’ll be even."
Gu Anxi smiled faintly. "You’ll see."
Shen Wanqing remained aggressive. Even Qin Siyuan felt she was losing her composure. "Wanqing."
Shen Wanqing said coldly, "It’s been so long, and still no one has arrived. Gu Anxi, are you toying with everyone, including Mr. Li?"
Mr. Li appeared completely unperturbed. "I’m not in a rush. I’ll be at Qing University all day today anyway." Just here for the drama; it’s quite entertaining.
Just as the tension reached its peak, a dark, imposing presence suddenly filled the area in front of the sports field...
A dozen or so black Bentleys pulled up. From each car emerged men who looked like business elites, all uniformly dressed in white shirts and black suits. They approached in neat formation and, upon reaching Gu Anxi, bowed respectfully. "Miss Gu, good day!" This update ıs available on 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝⚫𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖⚫𝕟𝕖𝕥
(Such an over-the-top and cringeworthy display~ It’s so obviously... hmmm...)
