Chapter 1098 - 1097: No, We Were Betrayed
Gu Anxi finished speaking, and couldn’t be bothered to say anything else to Shen Wanqing. She picked up her small backpack and walked out of the tea room.For some reason, Shen Wanqing chased after her and was stunned when she reached the door.
Bo Xichen’s car was parked at the entrance of the tea room. He was standing by the car smoking, and when he saw Gu Anxi coming, he immediately extinguished his cigarette and opened the back door for her.
Once the car door closed and he turned back, Shen Wanqing quickly took a few steps forward to greet him, "Professor Bo."
Bo Xichen was aware that Anxi and Shen Wanqing had met and also knew about Chen Jinfeng’s matter. Seeing Anxi’s displeased expression earlier, he knew things hadn’t gone well, yet Shen Wanqing approached him with a smile.
Bo Xichen always respects women and rarely disliked anyone, but at this moment, he actually felt a bit of aversion towards the girl standing before him.
He stood there without moving, watching Shen Wanqing come over.
Shen Wanqing was quite confident now. Although she hadn’t managed to step into the Wang Family’s door, having five hundred million now made her feel like she belonged to the elite. So, even in the presence of someone as refined as Bo Xichen, she felt self-assured.
"Professor Bo." Shen Wanqing pressed her lips lightly and smiled, "I might be leaving Beicheng soon. Thank you for looking after me during this time. I want to invite you and Anxi for a meal."
Bo Xichen’s voice was calm, "Looking after isn’t quite accurate. If you have time, you can arrange with Anxi. She’s been pretty bored lately."
Shen Wanqing hesitated, watching Bo Xichen as he was about to open the car door to leave. She stepped forward urgently, "But I am heading back to Beicheng tomorrow."
Bo Xichen remained courteous, "Sorry, we’re having a family dinner tonight."
After saying that, he didn’t bother with her any further, directly opening the car door and sitting inside.
His movements were graceful, aesthetically pleasing, reminiscent of the time watching him drive away in a multi-million dollar sports car at Qing University. Despite being married, he still carried that noble aura, unattainable.
Shen Wanqing felt inexplicably that she might be able to reach his level now.
Inside the car, Bo Xichen fastened his seatbelt, while Gu Anxi leaned against the back seat and asked, "What did she say to you?"
Bo Xichen placed his long fingers on the steering wheel, and after a while, he chuckled, "She wants to invite us for a meal."
"She wants to invite you, doesn’t she?" That little one murmured, "Did you refuse?"
"What else?" He laughed, then started the car.
He didn’t dwell on the matter. For Bo Xichen, those unimportant people and things weren’t worth his time, nor would he give them room to fantasize.
He took Gu Anxi home, and as soon as they entered the door, Madam Bo pulled her over to sit and asked her about Shen Wanqing.
Gu Anxi thought for a moment, "She said she’s going back to Beicheng. It’s quite strange. She had gotten pregnant for my uncle and was just a step away from entering the Wang Family’s door, but now that she’s lost the baby, she’s not causing a fuss and is willing to leave."
She remembered Shen Wanqing talking about going to Beicheng to buy a large villa, and suddenly felt something was off—
Something wasn’t right!
Old Wang wouldn’t possibly give her that much money to leave. After all, a villa in Beicheng starts at over a million yuan, while her unreliable uncle only had a few tens of millions on paper. Where could she get billions?
Gu Anxi suddenly looked up at Chen Ming.
Chen Ming quickly waved his hands, "It’s not me. I don’t have money, and I’m not interested in her."
Gu Anxi’s eyes narrowed, "That’s not what I meant!"
Chen Ming breathed a sigh of relief, "As long as it’s not, you scared me."
But Gu Anxi said again, "Chen Ming, check Wang Kefu’s accounts. I mean all of them, both domestic and overseas, check any potential connections."
Chen Ming was momentarily stunned, a bit confused about what was happening.
Gu Anxi gripped the cup in her hand tightly, "I suspect Wang Kefu acted on his own and traded with Lu Heng."
Chen Ming said foolishly, "Dr. Lu doesn’t seem like the type of person, would he sell out for some money?"
His words made Gu Anxi speechless, and she glared at him.
Meanwhile, Bo Nianyao and his wife, along with Bo Xichen, couldn’t help but laugh. Manager Ma said, "Chen Ming, you really have a knack for comedy."
