As Gu Mingzhu was talking, two groups of people appeared from the VIP passageway.
Gu Mingzhu’s eyes lit up; aside from her father, Gu Yuanshan, and her aunt, Gu Ning, the Bo Family was also there.
She stood in the most conspicuous spot, looking stunningly graceful. "Uncle, Mr. He, Brother Xichen."
Father Bo gave a light nod.
Mr. He responded, chuckling, "Ah, it’s young Miss Mingzhu!"
Bo Xichen briefly smiled before striding to the other side. "Been waiting long?"
Mr. He even followed. "One day away feels like three seasons apart. That’s what you two make me feel, HAHAHA. Old Bo, look, Xichen can’t do without my precious disciple now!"
Bo Xichen casually draped an arm over Gu Anxi’s shoulder. "Mr. He, don’t tease Anxi. She’s a bit thin-skinned."
"Really?" Mr. He looked surprised. "That’s odd. What do you think, Old Bo?"
Father Bo gazed at Gu Anxi. The more he looked at the child, the more he liked her. He couldn’t help but pat her head. "Our Anxi, in my eyes, is perfect in every way. She’s the best match for Xichen."
These three men surrounded Gu Anxi, showering her with praise and completely ignoring Gu Mingzhu.
Who was Gu Mingzhu? In Beicheng, she was known as the ideal young lady. Yet, at their very first meeting, she was overshadowed by Gu Anxi.
Mr. He cheerfully added, "Who would have thought our Anxi is not only a good artist but also a great racer? I’m betting on number 85. Your master is rather poor, so I’ll just bet a million!"
Gu Anxi laughed. "Thank you, Master."
"Calling me Master now, eh? Normally, aren’t you calling me LBS?" Mr. He patted her head affectionately.
Who wouldn’t like such a beautiful, darling, and talented girl? Baby, Master wants a hug!
On the other side, Gu Mingzhu felt as if struck by lightning—Gu Anxi was number 85, making her Gu Mingzhu’s biggest rival in the Qingtian race that afternoon!
After the shock, she managed a composed smile.
Perfect. She would surely outshine Gu Anxi in front of the Bo Family, the Gu family, and everyone, showing them what true talent and being skilled in all areas truly meant.
While Gu Mingzhu’s mind was whirring, Gu Ning said with a hint of sarcasm, "Mr. He, I’m afraid your one million is going to be wasted!"
She actually hoped Gu Anxi would win, but she also knew Gu Mingzhu’s prowess too well!
Gu Yuanshan glared at his sister. "Gu Ning, don’t be so harsh when speaking to Mr. He!"
Gu Ning still had some respect for her older brother. "Brother, how am I being harsh? I’m just stating facts."
Though she said that, she felt quite uncomfortable. Tang Yuan and her daughter always have to steal the limelight, honestly!
She pulled out her tablet and opened the app. "Take a look."
Gu Yuanshan took it and saw that eight out of ten bets were on Gu Mingzhu. A paternal smile appeared on his face as he told his younger daughter, "Show them your strength. Don’t let down your elders or the reporters who came from afar."
Tang Yuan, seeing her husband happy, also chimed in, "The event is a big one today. Mingzhu, your father rarely comes to watch races. Race your best, understand?"
Gu Mingzhu nodded obediently.
Then, her gaze turned to Gu Anxi, a mix of challenge and disdain in her eyes. The latest_epɪ_sodes are on_the 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩⁂𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢⁂𝔫𝔢𝔱
Gu Yuanshan followed her gaze and commented, "The girl Xichen found is quite good-looking."
Gu Ning, who knew the details, chuckled. "Brother, you find her decent-looking too? Her surname is Gu—Gu Anxi, actually. Quite the coincidence, isn’t it? And she’s 20 years old..."
