Campus Ace Girl

Chapter 1091 - 1090: Are You Looking for Death?

"President Wang was at the W Hotel yesterday, and Dr. Lu also stayed there overnight," Secretary Tang said.As soon as she finished, Gu Anxi spat out a mouthful of water, soaking the documents in front of her. She hurriedly wiped them, and Secretary Tang stepped forward to help, chuckling as she said, "President Wang found himself a little girl."

Gu Anxi let out a long "oh": "You didn’t make that clear before. Right, what was Lu Heng doing at the hotel?"

Secretary Tang lowered her voice a little: "Originally I was checking on their meeting, but ended up accidentally discovering something else."

Gu Anxi didn’t take it seriously, and then Secretary Tang lowered her voice even more: "Dr. Lu was with Jiang Chaoge last night."

Gu Anxi was drinking water, and again she spat out a mouthful.

After another round of wiping, she finally swallowed her saliva: "This world is really surreal."

Secretary Tang smiled: "Who says it’s not. So about this matter now..."

Gu Anxi leaned back against the sofa and thought for a moment: "Leave him alone. This uncle of mine, after hitting a wall with me, will definitely try to say something in Grandfather’s ear, but I doubt anyone will pay him any mind."

Secretary Tang hesitated: "Aren’t you not using the equipment factory now? Then why not that fifty billion..."

Gu Anxi’s expression cooled a little: "If I let it go easily now, it’ll make the Lu father and son suspicious. I’m not fated to earn this fifty billion, but my eldest uncle might be."

Secretary Tang’s voice was very soft: "Then when the time comes, President Wang..."

Gu Anxi glanced at her, then smiled: "We’ll talk about it then. By that time I won’t have to lift a finger; Grandfather will probably beat him to death himself."

Secretary Tang still found it hard to understand. President Wang might be a bit ugly, but with the family assets he had, what kind of girl couldn’t he find? Yet he just had to have these hobbies, really... And that Dr. Lu also had no bottom line; she truly hadn’t seen that coming before.

While the two of them were discussing, over there Wang Kefu wasn’t idle either. He went back to his office, had his secretary make him a cup of tea, and then sat there pondering this way and that, wanting to really make something of himself.

In the afternoon, after thinking it over, he still decided to go back and try persuading Old Wang, and brought up the fifty billion matter.

This matter, Old Wang really wasn’t very clear on. Hearing it, he turned to his second son: "Kegui, have you heard about this?"

Wang Kegui nodded: "I’ve heard about it. The Lu Family is very taken with the equipment factory. It might line up exactly with one of the projects they’re currently experimenting on, so they want to use it."

Old Wang nodded and went on eating in silence.

Everyone in the Wang Family looked at him, even their breathing was lighter as they waited for his decision.

Even though the shares were in Anxi’s hands, the old man should still have some say—

You couldn’t really blame them for being nervous. Fifty billion. That brat Anxi opens his mouth and it’s fifty billion, the other side is even willing to pay, yet this brat doesn’t want it. Isn’t that enough to drive a person crazy?

The old man pondered it carefully for quite a while, then looked up, "This money won’t be easy to earn."

Before Wang Kefu could say anything, Wang Kegui said softly, "Dad, tell us what you’re thinking."

The old man glanced around at the full table of people, his eyes shrewd and sharp: "Anyone still scheming over that fifty billion should drop it early. Don’t you go find out how the Lu Family made their fortune? Now both the Bo Family and the Lu Family are in Jiangcheng, the Bo Family is on Mr. Wang’s side, and you think this fifty billion won’t burn your hands if you take it? How big must the profit be for them to be so generous as to give us fifty billion? Do you really think a few lousy machines and a factory building are worth fifty billion? Use your toes to think about it, Ke Fu."

The Wang Family members felt a bit disappointed when they heard this, but they had to admit Old Wang was making sense.

This matter really wasn’t appropriate.

The Wang Family’s second sister-in-law was the first to raise a supporting hand: "I think Dad’s right. The Lu Family might count as a prominent house, but they’re not exactly the straight-and-narrow. Best to have as little to do with them as possible."

Old Wang praised her: "Xiufen still has her head on straight."

He sighed lightly again: "You’re all living too comfortably. When you have nothing to do, use your heads more. If Anxi hadn’t come back this time, the Wang Family would probably be finished."

The whole table was stunned.

Old Wang’s expression and voice both turned colder: "What sort of people are the Lu Family that we’re allowed to refuse them? Do you even know who they have behind them? One by one, you think anyone waving money around is a savior, and when disaster hits you still won’t know what’s going on."

The Lu Family doesn’t dare move against the Wang Family now only because the Bo Family is around. Otherwise, where would that fifty billion come from? They’d be lucky to see five billion.

When he got to this point, the old man shot a glare at his eldest son: "Ke Fu, you’re not allowed to meddle in this, and you’re not allowed to make decisions on your own. For everything... watch Anxi’s attitude first. This is the Bo Family and the Lu Family quietly locking horns. Before you step in, weigh your own worth first."

Wang Kefu was a bit unconvinced. "The old man really doesn’t take our family seriously, does he? Our family is at least the top dog of Jiangsheng, how are we any worse than the others."

The old man gave a cold laugh. "So you do know you have to put ’Jiangcheng’ in front of that."

Wang Kefu fell silent, a little dejected.

His woman, Shen Wanqing, had been coolly watching from the sidelines the whole time and hadn’t spoken up, because there really was no place for her to butt in at the Wang Family dining table. But once everyone went back to their rooms, she held her belly and felt her way to Wang Kefu’s room.

In the bedroom, Wang Kefu was smoking while savoring that utterly flirtatious look. The door suddenly opened; when he saw it was Shen Wanqing, he instantly felt his mood sour. He stubbed out the cigarette, got up and forced himself to respond, "What are you doing up here? Didn’t the old man tell you to stop coming upstairs so much? If your health goes bad later, he’ll be yelling at me again."

Shen Wanqing sat down on the sofa, complaining a bit. "Then am I supposed to never see you again for the rest of my life?"

Knowing he was in the wrong, Wang Kefu rubbed his nose, got out of bed and went to sit beside her. As soon as he did, Shen Wanqing buried herself into his arms and said softly, "Kefu, do you not like me anymore?"

The novelty really had worn off for Wang Kefu. But first, he did feel guilty; second, she was carrying his child; third, she was indeed young, all tender and fresh. Now that she was lying in his arms, he couldn’t help but feel a bit of pity. "How could that be? I still like you a lot."

As he spoke, he puckered his lips and leaned in. Shen Wanqing looked at that slightly bloated face, and knowing perfectly well what he’d been up to since he hadn’t come back last night, she felt a bit of disgust. "I actually have something serious to talk about."

For a moment, Wang Kefu felt his interest fade. He let go of her and straightened his clothes. "What is it?"

Then he laughed. "You have serious business too? Your son passed you a little secret message?"

Shen Wanqing forced a smile. "Of course not."

She paused before saying, "Kefu... in this family, isn’t everyone afraid of Anxi?"

Wang Kefu immediately got unhappy. "What are you talking about? She’s a junior. How could the family be afraid of her?"

Shen Wanqing continued, "If they’re not afraid, then why does everyone do what she says..."

That stumped Wang Kefu. Shen Wanqing added a bit more fuel to the fire. "You saw the old man’s attitude too. He doesn’t take us seriously at all. It’s still manageable with Second Brother, but us... I’m afraid our days from now on won’t be easy."

Those words hit Wang Kefu right where it hurt. Over the years, the brothers had seemed harmonious, but he could more or less sense that the old man actually valued Kegui more. And recently, now that Kegui had become President Wang, while his own President title had been knocked down to Vice, he was very far from pleased.

He took out a cigarette and lit it. Shen Wanqing said again, "I’m not trying to upset you on purpose, I just want to remind you what we should do from now on. I’m definitely sticking with you; I’m already carrying your child, right? Other than me, who else is truly thinking for your sake..."

Wang Kefu turned his head to look at her. After a long moment, he smiled. "The way you’re talking, you sound just like my ex-wife."

Shen Wanqing didn’t like hearing that, but there was some sincerity in his words, so she leaned over again. "I know I can’t control you, but I only ask one thing: no matter what you do outside, just remember me and the baby, that’s enough."

Those words touched something in Wang Kefu at once. Overjoyed, he cupped Shen Wanqing’s face, calling her "baby" and "good girl" over and over. "You’re the one who really gets me."

This was his dream of freedom!

He kissed her several times in a row, and then thought of that enchanting woman again; his whole body felt energized.

He pulled Shen Wanqing back into his arms and laid on the sweetness again. Seeing that she’d swayed him, Shen Wanqing couldn’t help pressing a bit harder. After his initial happiness, though, Wang Kefu hesitated, looking at his woman. "Tell me, if I really do this, will Anxi let me off?"

Shen Wanqing stroked his arm and spoke softly. "You’re her real uncle. What could she possibly do to you? Besides, that company clearly belongs to you and Second Brother. She seized it, and she won’t let you cash in?"

At this moment she actually thought of how good the Wang Family’s second sister-in-law had been to her, and added, "Second Brother’s a decent person, and Sister Xiufen is very nice to me too..."

When she finished, she looked at Wang Kefu. He was instantly bewitched by that pure-white-lotus act of hers and pinched her cheek. "You sure think about other people."

After being soothed, his mood improved a lot and his hands started wandering again. For the sake of the child in her belly, Shen Wanqing still refused. She twisted away and said, "My body’s not in good shape."

Wang Kefu awkwardly withdrew his hand, but he didn’t blame her. Instead, he chuckled. "Just give me a big fat son in peace, make the old man happy. Maybe then he’ll spare me the death sentence."

After he said that, he looked at his woman. "The old man’s actually pretty fond of sons over daughters. Otherwise my little sister wouldn’t have ended up the way she did back then."

When Shen Wanqing heard him mention Wang Keru, she asked one more question. "I heard she used to be very favored in her maiden home."

Wang Kefu leaned back against the sofa, hands pillowing his head, and gave a wry smile. "That was only because she was good-looking. The old man was planning to find her a good marriage. Who knew she chose some poor guy? Luckily, Gu Yuntian rose up later. Otherwise, do you think the family would still look at her with any respect?"

Just a few simple sentences laid bare the Bo Family’s harsh, realistic nature, stripped of any warmth, exposing their cruelty in full. Even Shen Wanqing couldn’t help being stunned for a moment.

Right then, Wang Kefu looked at her expression, then smiled and pinched her cheek. "What, scared now?"
