Tang Yuan felt gratified, speaking warmly, "You should pay a bit more attention to the competition this time. A lot of people are betting on you, so don’t take it lightly."
"Mom, don’t worry," Gu Mingzhu lowered her eyes, "I haven’t lost yet."
Tang Yuan lovingly caressed her head, "Mingzhu, you are my pride."
As she spoke, she couldn’t help but recall another person.
The Gu family’s ancestors had established themselves through divination. When she gave birth to that child, the moment the child was born, the entire Gu family was on high alert.
Her Eight Characters were terribly inauspicious!
Like a demon child sent from the heavens!
She was the remarried wife of the Gu Family Head. What could she do?
The Gu family prepared to dispose of that child. She had watched with her own eyes as people took the child away. So many years had passed in a flash, yet she had no idea where that child was or what they looked like.
Nor did she want to know.
When she gave birth to Mingzhu, the Gu family performed a divination, and it was like a heaven-sent blessing.
Only then did her position as Mrs. Gu become secure.
Mingzhu also particularly brought her honor. She excelled academically, was an all-rounder, and even had a column where she wrote about travel and personal reflections. She was a renowned blogger with over twelve million fans on Weibo.
Gu Mingzhu was Tang Yuan’s pride. She cared deeply about Mingzhu and accompanied her almost everywhere.
At that moment, Gu Mingzhu, basking in her mother’s affection, acted a little coy.
Gu Anxi’s race car happened to pass by. Through her helmet, she saw the beautiful woman embracing a young girl, the woman’s face filled with loving affection.
Gu Anxi’s eyes tightened for a moment, her fingers gripping the wheel, and her race car WHOOSHED past them. She practiced a few more laps, then stopped, took a quick shower, changed her clothes, and prepared to leave.
Unfortunately, in the locker room, she ran into the mother and daughter again.
Except, Gu Anxi was in the shower.
She quietly showered, listening to the whispers coming from outside, feeling somewhat numb.
By the time she came out, they were already gone.
Gu Anxi changed her clothes, slung a small bag over her shoulder, and went out. When Mother Bo and Wang Keru saw her emerge, they immediately went up to her, "Anxi, how was your practice?"
"Pretty good." Gu Anxi saw their worried faces and smiled, "Let’s go for tea and do some shopping!"
Wang Keru was stunned.
Anxi never liked shopping, did she? From childhood, it was always school uniforms. What’s with her now?
"Isn’t buying clothes normal during the honeymoon phase?" Gu Anxi arched an eyebrow.
Mother Bo was extremely gratified and gave Wang Keru a look. See? This child is so understanding, isn’t she?
Wang Keru said, "Oh! Alright then, let’s go. Mom will buy you whatever you want."
Mother Bo remarked quietly from the side, "Shouldn’t Xichen be the one to come and pay with his card?" Follow current novᴇls on 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵✶𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖✶𝓷𝓮𝓽
Wang Keru declared with great magnanimity, "Xichen is very busy. It’s fine, I’ll buy things for our Anxi."
And so, that afternoon, Madam Wang Keru, using the black diamond card Gu Anxi had given her, generously spent over a million.
But there was one problem: where to put all these clothes?
Leave them at the Gu family home? But Anxi almost always stayed at her little uncle’s place. Leave them at the laboratory building? Bo Xichen wouldn’t live there forever, would he?
In the end, Gu Anxi decided, "Just leave them at your home. I’ll just take a few items with me."
They had dinner at the Gu family home that evening, and Bo Xichen came to pick Gu Anxi up at ten o’clock at night.
Father Bo had already flown back on a private jet, taking his beloved painting to find Old He—
Little brother, take a look at this new painting I acquired. It’s by Luo Lin. What do you think?
The two of them spent the whole evening meticulously admiring it with a magnifying glass. And so, only Mother Bo remained in Qingcheng to hold the fort.
