Chapter 941: Chapter 940: Wow! A Golden Opportunity to Strike It Rich

Old Wang’s eyes lit up when he saw Bo Nianyao, as if he’d spotted a long-lost son: "This must be Nianyao, I’ve heard about you from Anxi, been looking forward to meeting you, and today finally..."

The old man, like the matriarch from "Dream of the Red Chamber," scrutinized Bo Nianyao from head to toe and exclaimed, "Folks from Beicheng really do have a certain aura."

Bo Nianyao, of course, responded gracefully, exchanging pleasantries: "This trip to Jiangcheng, I’m afraid I’m imposing on you, sir."

"No imposition at all, no imposition. Your and Xichen’s visit to our Wang Family truly brightens our home," Old Wang thought to himself, determined to cling tightly to the Bo Family this time. He had long heard of the Bo Family’s legend, plus Anxi was quite favored by Mr. Wang now. If he could establish a connection, he wouldn’t have to worry so much about his two disappointing sons.

Haha, the two brothers’ names are quite fitting—richness and nobility—but they’re genuinely useless and talentless. If he’d not pushed his only daughter out back in the day, the Wang Family would be a different story now.

Old Wang’s eyes gleamed as he graciously entertained the two, then asked, "Where’s my precious granddaughter?"

Bo Xichen went to the vehicle ahead and opened the door for Gu Anxi, who stepped out alongside Gu Mingzhu, leaving Old Wang stunned: "How come there’s two of them?"

Bo Nianyao explained to Old Wang while walking: "One is Anxi’s sister, just tagging along for a short stay."

The Gu Family’s matters in Beicheng, the Wang Family had likely heard whispers about them. Old Wang gave Gu Mingzhu a more careful glance, then politely remarked, "This young lady sure is striking."

Gu Mingzhu pressed her lips gently, staying silent.

Old Wang led them to the villa, served tea, and introduced his two disappointing sons: "This is my eldest son, Kefu, and my second son, Kegui, and their equally disappointing wives."

Wang’s eldest daughter-in-law was a bit miffed: "Dad, that’s not how you introduce people. Since when did we become disappointing?"

The second daughter-in-law agreed as well.

Taking a sip of tea, Old Wang rebuked: "Can’t manage your business, can’t keep your husbands in line, isn’t that being disappointing?"

The two Wang daughters-in-law fell silent.

Then, the old man asked Gu Anxi, "Why hasn’t Ke Ru returned?"

Gu Anxi stretched lazily: "She has to take care of Dad. By the way, this villa’s mine now, right?"

Old Wang confirmed it was.

Glancing at the crowd, Gu Anxi cleared her throat: "I want to catch up on sleep, can we all go back to our own homes?"

Old Wang’s face darkened, genuinely unprepared for this ungrateful brat’s disregard for his feelings. He was going to scold her but held back, noticing his sons about to speak, he quickly stopped them: "I haven’t spoken, is there room for you two to pipe up?"

Feigning cheerfulness, he addressed Bo Nianyao: "Nianyao, what a joke, during the day rest well, tonight at the hotel we’ll set up a table for family and get cozy."

Bo Nianyao, aware of the Wang Family’s dissatisfaction, pulled the irate little brat close, smiling: "Thanks for the trouble, sir. Mainly, this little one suffered a gunshot wound recently, she’s really weak. Being her grandfather, your care for Anxi would surely match mine."

Old Wang’s eyes widened: "A gunshot wound? My goodness, that’s serious, let Grandpa take a look."

And he half-playfully, half-genuinely put on an anxious display.

Gu Anxi cheerfully said, "It’s mostly healed."

Old Wang looked stern: "Mostly healed isn’t completely healed. You didn’t say anything, and we’ve all been here exhausting ourselves. You’re likely to burn out, quickly up the stairs to rest, we won’t bother you anymore. You must rest well..."

This was also a way for him to gracefully back down.

With that, everyone dispersed.

Outside the gate, Wang’s second son, Kegui, wasn’t entirely a fool, frowned and asked: "Dad, what do you think Anxi the little brat’s doing in Jiangcheng? Something’s off. Coming here with a gunshot wound, she must be up to something secretive."

His wife rolled her eyes: "Saying that as if it’s true, who saw the wound?"

Just as she finished, Old Wang shot a glare over, silencing the second daughter-in-law.

With a steady voice, Old Wang agreed: "The second son’s right, she wouldn’t come without a reason. She’s now of noble standing, and the Bo Family certainly cares for her. What’s more, the Lu Family’s also back, as you’ve seen."

Old Wang glanced at the sky: "The winds could change in Jiangcheng, it’s also the perfect chance for us to make a fortune."

The eldest daughter-in-law reminded him: "Don’t forget, you’ve given eighty to ninety percent of your equity to this little brat, Anxi."

Old Wang smirked: "We still have the operating rights, don’t we?"

Displaying a shrewd visage: "Our Wang Family has toiled away in this overlooked place, managing the manufacturing business brilliantly, finally bearing fruit. Watch carefully, soon many will flock to us with money. Kefu and Kegui should not rush to make moves. See how the Lu Family acts, then observe Bo Nianyao’s position. In short, we must stay steady as a rock, and seize the chance to make a pretty penny."

The Wang sons eagerly clapped their thighs: "Father, you’re wise indeed."

The two sisters-in-law secretly rolled their eyes: Wise? At the beginning of the year, they were trying so hard to curry favor with others, giving away more than half of their family property, and now the money they earned still ends up in that kid’s pocket.

Old Wang’s heart, cold for over ten years, was finally warmed up again, full of ambition, and he left with great strides.

In the villa, Bo Nianyao took a sip of tea, looked at Gu Anxi, and approvingly said, "Zai Zai, thanks to you stepping in, otherwise I’d have a headache."

Gu Anxi, leaning on the sofa playing games, said, "The Lu Family has already contacted them, and the word is they didn’t refuse. The old man is playing dumb, on one hand hosting them while possibly poisoning us."

Bo Nianyao nodded, then turned to Bo Xichen and said, "Xichen, Lin Yuan has already arrived in Jiangcheng. We have few people, so he needs to organize things. Also, we have to infiltrate the Wang Family internally; otherwise, we’ll be very passive later. We need to start now, as modifying the machines and such will take time."

Bo Xichen smiled: "Father, don’t worry. This has already been arranged; the one beside Wang Kefu now is Lin Yuan’s man, someone called Zhou Shu, quite a smart guy."

Bo Nianyao looked at Gu Anxi and smiled, "This must be Zai Zai’s idea, right? You’ve done your homework well."

Gu Anxi grinned, "Once here, everything has to be done perfectly."

She paused for a moment, looking at Bo Xichen.

Bo Xichen calmly spoke, "Wang Kegui is indeed smarter. Father, perhaps you could let Lin Yuan teach him a lesson."

Bo Nianyao stroked his beard, "Alright, I’ll mention it later."

He also patted the armrest of the sofa, lightly coughed, "Zai, these are all your uncles; can you bear to make a move?"

Gu Anxi continued playing her game, chuckling lightly, "If we don’t come, the Wang Family would be gnawed to the bone by Lu Ze and Lu Heng, father and son."

Bo Nianyao nodded in agreement, "Indeed, the Lu Family’s domineering style hasn’t changed in hundreds of years."

Having said that, he and Bo Xichen went out for business.

Gu Anxi lay down to play on her phone, while Gu Mingzhu stood there in a daze, her voice sounding ethereal, "Either clean up or come and massage my legs."

Gu Mingzhu immediately jumped up and protested, "I’m not your little servant."

"Then go clean up," Gu Anxi stretched lazily and slowly went upstairs, "I’m going to take a nap."

Gu Mingzhu followed her, mumbling, "Gu Anxi, can’t you be more restrained? You’re only 21."

Gu Anxi turned around, blinking, "No, I can’t."

She added, ’Uncle is too good-looking.’

Gu Mingzhu’s face turned bright red, "Shameless."

But some people say they don’t want it, yet their bodies are honest, talking about others being shameless while they actively crawl over, kneading shoulders and legs. In the end, she hugged Gu Anxi and they took a small nap together all morning...

Instead, Gu Anxi was the first to wake up at noon.

Opening her eyes, she saw Gu Mingzhu nestled beside her, small claws clinging to her, looking annoying.

She felt a bit like teasing her, reached out and pinched her cheek, it was really soft.

After pinching for a while, the little pig didn’t react, so she pinched her nose...

Gu Mingzhu, unable to breathe, woke up. Once awake, she immediately jumped up when she saw Gu Anxi.

Gu Anxi sat up and said, "Don’t act like you suffered a loss, it was you clinging to me. But it doesn’t matter, you can still hate me, it doesn’t affect things."

She got up, stretched lazily, took a shower, changed into a Japanese-style bathrobe, and went downstairs...

Gu Mingzhu chased after her, only to find Bo Xichen had returned.

The scene on the stairs was quite picturesque, slightly inappropriate for children, she screamed and ran back upstairs...

Over there, Bo Xichen’s body stiffened a bit as he looked up.

The little darling hugged him and said, "Ignore her. Come down to eat. She’ll definitely come down later."

Bo Xichen chuckled, heading downstairs to have lunch. The chef here was also brought over from Si Garden, perfectly suiting Gu Anxi’s taste.

However, before eating, one still had to drink a thick tonic, which looked bitter and unpalatable...
