Campus Ace Girl-Chapter 643 - 644: Big Brother, Your House is on Fire

Chapter 643: Chapter 644: Big Brother, Your House is on Fire

As soon as she said this, the surrounding people grew quiet, holding their breath as they watched the hen.

The hen, flushed red, was nestled in the fine grass, looking as if it was working hard to lay an egg.

With such a commotion, bystanders couldn’t squeeze to the front. King Jingyao and Min Xin stood on either side of her, concentrating on the hen.

The Bo family, naturally, found a place to rest and watch the show. The weather was quite hot, so Lady Bo had the driver buy plenty of melons and distributed them for everyone to eat.

In the time it took to eat a melon, the hen had completed its life’s mission. A steaming-hot egg landed on the grass with a THUD, followed by the hen CLUCKING loudly.

"What a big egg!" the elder brother exclaimed, picking it up. It was still warm.

Min Xin also stared at the egg.

The people around looked at the egg, marveling, "This egg is really big!"

"Bring a clean bowl over," King Jingyao said briskly. His subordinate, Wang Jingchuan, immediately fetched a bowl and placed it down carefully.

King Jingyao personally cracked the egg—

The important figures from the General Office all widened their eyes, holding their breath.

As for the Bo family, well, they were eating melon.

With a crisp CRACK, the egg white flowed out, followed by three golden yolks falling into the bowl.

"A truly auspicious sign from heaven!" the elder brother sighed, then said cheerfully to Min Xin, "It seems the Little Celestial was right after all. You and my younger sister are truly a match made in heaven. What do you say, Brother Min? The Civil Affairs Bureau is right here."

Min Xin’s face turned utterly black. He turned his head and saw that the influential people behind him no longer looked at him with such trust.

The main thing was, the Little Celestial was just too accurate.

Gu Yuanshan, as if that wasn’t enough, uncharacteristically disregarded his esteemed status and kowtowed three times to Wang Qin, a young girl, exclaiming, "Little Celestial! I, Gu Yuanshan, a disciple of the Gu Clan, am so fortunate to have met you in this lifetime. I am overwhelmed with joy to the point of tears!"

The people present were all stunned. Has this Old Gu gone too far? This is the Civil Affairs Bureau, not a place for performing shamanistic rituals! Moreover, they were all influential figures; this sort of metaphysical stuff was originally kept quiet and not for public display. To carry on like this so openly now... wasn’t it...?

Wang Qin’s little face turned bright red, and she stammered, "You... you don’t have to do this."

Gu Anxi took a piece of melon, took a bite, and glanced at Wang Qin. So pure and innocent! Just like a Little Celestial.

Nearby, Shen Congwen was also surprised. She turned to Zhou Yunchen and asked, "Is the young girl Anxi brought really that miraculous?"

At her question, even Old Lin leaned in, eager to know the secret!

Zhou Yunchen laughed. "Ha! Anxi was just incredibly bored. She went over and fed all the chickens at their place some special medicine, and afterward, all the eggs they laid had three yolks."

The Bo family and the others were dumbfounded. Just how bored was Anxi!

Meanwhile, Gu Yuanshan, having lost all face by making such a grand gesture, found that Wang Qin had accepted his reverence quite seriously.

The phone in Min Xin’s pocket was still ringing wildly. He took it out and looked—it was a message from Fang Ming, urging this "Little Celestial" to go to the hotel!

Damn it! To hell with this Little Celestial!

Min Xin’s face was grim. "This can’t be considered accurate."

Wang Qin then put on a solemn act, muttering and counting on her fingers before saying, "Mr. Min, you will face a great calamity today."

"I’m a man!" Min Xin retorted, annoyed.

Wang Qin’s little face flushed, and she stammered, "N-no... that’s not it. I mean, someone very close to you will face a great calamity today. There will be a disaster involving fire in the north."

Min Xin narrowed his eyes, looking at her, then at Gu Yuanshan.

Gu Yuanshan said very humbly, "In the presence of the Little Celestial, I, Yuanshan, wouldn’t dare to presume to display my meager skills."

Just as Min Xin was about to make a move, King Jingyao, on the other side, answered a phone call. His expression changed. "What? The house is on fire?"

Without another word to anyone, he put down his bowl and left hurriedly. Wang Jingchuan followed, turning back as he walked to say to Min Xin, "Mr. Min, it’s Miss Zhou’s room that’s on fire."

Min Xin was horrified.

Almost without thinking, he followed them, cramming himself into the same car as King Jingyao.

With the most important figures gone, those left behind looked at each other in dismay, unsure what to do.

Gu Anxi walked over, smiling broadly. "Oh my, it’s just to get a marriage certificate. I’m so embarrassed that you all came. I told Zhou Yunchen ages ago, ’Don’t come, please don’t come!’ I’m just his childhood friend and King Jingyao’s younger sister. How could I trouble you all to contribute gift money?"

Zhou Yunchen came over and patted her shoulder. "What are you saying! How could we not contribute gift money when you’re getting your marriage certificate? Let alone for your elder brother’s sake, even for Xichen and Mr. Bo’s sake, we have to give something. And that’s not to mention you have a Little Celestial on hand; getting rich with a bit of her guidance would be too easy."

Then he cleared his throat softly. "I don’t have any money on me; my wife keeps me on a tight leash! Congwen, tell us, how much will you give?"

He added, "Don’t give too little and embarrass me. This is King Jingyao’s only younger sister."

Shen Congwen smiled faintly. "Naturally, it can’t be too little, but it shouldn’t be too ostentatious either. Let’s say five million!"

Zhou Yunchen praised her, "You’re very considerate. Five million it is, then. At my level, I can’t give too much. Everyone here is my senior; I can’t be the one to stand out. I need to keep a low profile."

The influential people who had tagged along were cursing inwardly. Isn’t this going too far?

They wanted to leave, but when they turned around, they found the doors of the Civil Affairs Bureau were already closed.

Heh. They’d never heard of having to contribute gift money just to get a marriage certificate before!

Lady Bo, beaming as if bathed in a spring breeze, said, "It’s hot. Everyone, have some melon. Consider this a simple wedding celebration. Hehe, so many people showing concern for Xichen and Zai Zai’s marriage—it’s truly touching."

The people present: Damn it all!

This is blatant extortion, and they walked right into the trap themselves!

At that moment, everyone had no choice but to dig into their pockets and pay up. The CFO of Cloud He Group was also present, counting the checks and sighing. With this money, Little Gu will be able to go on another wild spree.

Afterward, the process of obtaining the marriage certificate went smoothly. Only, Bo Xichen hesitated slightly before signing, and the fierce little pixie glared at him.

He smiled. "Darling, can you leave me a little more spending money?"

Gu Anxi immediately ran over and stuffed a check into his pocket. "Little Uncle, hurry up and sign!"

Everyone present: What a scene!

Only Gu Yuanshan stood to one side, quietly wiping away his old tears.

「...」

On another front, King Jingyao’s private mansion was indeed on fire. When the elder brother rushed back, flames were soaring into the sky.

Firefighters were battling the blaze, but it looked quite intense. The housekeeper said, "The fire started in Miss Zhou’s bedroom."

Min Xin immediately grabbed his shoulders. "Where is Zhou Yu?"

The housekeeper shook his head. "We haven’t seen her."

Min Xin almost roared, "You haven’t seen her? Why didn’t you try to save her?"

Heedless of his own safety, he grabbed a wet cloth sack, draped it over his head, and charged into the fire, heading for the second floor to find Zhou Yu...

At this moment, it didn’t matter if Zhou Yu was carrying his child or King Jingyao’s; he would willingly trade his life for hers.

Before King Jingyao could react, Min Xin had already rushed into the fire. King Jingyao reached out a hand. "Hey! Have you got a death wish?"

Honestly! If he burns to death, how am I supposed to handle all the work by myself?

The elder brother immediately told the firefighters, "Quickly, drag him out!"

Meanwhile, Min Xin was rushing headlong into the blaze, his mind filled with images of Zhou Yu crying out for his help. He was nearly mad with guilt. I was wrong. I shouldn’t have entrusted Zhou Yu to someone else’s care. I should have kept her locked by my side.

He regretted it deeply...

The thought that he might be too late filled him with a murderous urge!

Inside the villa, the smoke was thick, making it almost impossible to breathe. Min Xin, desperate to be the hero saving the damsel and heedless of his own life, pushed his way to the second floor, searching everywhere...

Yuyu, where are you?

"Zhou Yu?"

"Yuyu..."

「...」

Downstairs, King Jingyao shook his head, saying to Wang Jingchuan beside him, "What a sentimental fool."

Wang Jingchuan was rather anxious. "That was too impulsive. We hadn’t even finished speaking."

The elder brother sneered coldly. "Zhou Yu is his Achilles’ heel! Look at him, running around like a headless chicken. He deserves to be the eternal second-in-command!"

As they were talking, the firefighters who had rushed back in had already dragged Min Xin out. He was limp like a dead dog, slumped on the ground, and appeared to have fainted...
