Campus Ace Girl

Chapter 997 - 996: Unexpected Encounter at the Hospital

Later, Wang Keru made a call to Gu Anxi, telling her about this incident.On the other end, Gu Anxi was silent for a long time, then let out a light hum: "What’s so good about Uncle?"

Other than having a bit of money, his looks are ruined, he doesn’t even have a six-pack. Is Shen Wanqing attracted to him because he has a child?

Keep in mind, Aunt isn’t someone to mess with either.

She talked with Wang Keru for a while, hung up the phone, stood up and prepared to go to the office. It’s been a few days since she got her shares back, so she wasn’t in a rush to go. During these days, she transferred Secretary Tang over, working alongside Manager Ma as her trusted aides.

Gu Anxi was driving, and halfway through received a call from Wang Kefu, sounding quite anxious: "Anxi, Anxi, someone’s been seriously hurt. This time you must help me."

Gu Anxi, wearing sunglasses, laughed as she spoke: "My ever-so-proud uncle, how come you’re asking for my help now? What happened, did you argue with Aunt?"

Wang Kefu’s voice on the other side was filled with despair: "No, it’s Wanqing who got beaten up by your aunt’s hired help. It’s quite serious, you better come take a look. Aren’t you Xichen’s protégé? Uncle trusts no one else, please come quickly."

The last part was nearly a wail.

Gu Anxi couldn’t help but roll her eyes. Ah, such precious cargo.

But since there was no major issue at hand, she could go have some amusement.

She turned the car towards the hospital Wang Kefu mentioned. Once she arrived, she nearly laughed her head off.

Shen Wanqing was indeed injured, but it was merely some superficial wounds. It seemed Aunt had personally laid a hand on her; what kind of damage could she do? No surgery or anything required, just some medication, and see how anxious her uncle was.

Gu Anxi leaned aside, "Looks like there’s nothing serious."

When Wang Kefu saw her arrive, he immediately approached and tugged at her, with a hint of nervousness in his voice: "Thank goodness you’re here, Anxi. Quickly give Wanqing a thorough check-up. If she’s hurt anywhere, it could affect the rest of her life."

Gu Anxi crossed her arms, gave a little laugh: "Isn’t Uncle supposed to be the responsible one here?"

Wang Kefu’s expression turned awkward.

Gu Anxi glanced around the emergency room: "Where’s Aunt?"

Wang Kefu gave a cold laugh: "Her? After she did this, I called the police, and she’s now in custody."

Gu Anxi casually accepted the X-ray an adjacent doctor handed her and said nonchalantly: "Uncle, you’ve made a mistake. If you think by putting Aunt in jail you’re coming out on top, be careful. Aunt might accuse you of collusion, turning this from a criminal to a civil affair, and you might end up violating marriage laws."

Wang Kefu’s jaw dropped a bit. Actually, he didn’t really want to put his wife behind bars. He was just pressured by Wanqing’s injuries. Now, with Anxi’s words shaking him, he wanted to explain to Shen Wanqing, but every time he spoke, she acted as though it was a matter of life or death. He swallowed his words, giving Gu Anxi a bitter smile.

Gu Anxi didn’t say much, knowing Old Wang would deal with it.

After reviewing the X-ray, she spoke calmly: "There’s nothing serious. But if Uncle is still worried, I can personally check her again, though I doubt Miss Shen would be willing."

Wang Kefu immediately looked at Shen Wanqing: "What do you think?"

Shen Wanqing shook her head, "The doctor said it’s fine, you don’t need to worry so much."

Wang Kefu’s heart softened instantly, feeling like a withered tree blossoming late in life. He pulled Shen Wanqing closer with a tenderness: "I’ve just got this one treasure; if I don’t care for you, who will?"

Shen Wanqing gave a faint smile, looking up at Gu Anxi: "Thank you."

Gu Anxi, aware of her sly intentions, didn’t mind, "Are you thanking me for visiting you, or for my mom taking care of your mom?"

Her insinuating words left Shen Wanqing at a loss, biting her lip and glaring at her.

Gu Anxi smiled again: "Alright, I won’t meddle with your affairs, but Uncle, if you and Miss Shen are together without considering Aunt’s feelings, are you planning to get a divorce?"

Wang Kefu suddenly didn’t know what to say and shot his niece an accusing glance before ushering her out: "Alright, alright, you silly child, spouting nonsense all day, come, come, Uncle will treat you to a meal."

Gu Anxi put on her sunglasses, "No need, I’m heading to the company."

She turned and left.

Watching her walk away, Wang Kefu seethed silently for quite a while. Shen Wanqing said softly: "Ke Fu, I actually think Anxi has a point. Look at how freely she lives as a woman, but I... even though I’m a painter, when people talk about us, they label me as a homewrecker."

Her eyes reddened, looking truly pitiable, making Wang Kefu feel inexplicably distressed.

At this moment, sensing the timing was right, Shen Wanqing added: "I understand Big Sis was momentarily upset, which is understandable. If it were me, I’d probably also lose my mind."

She stroked his cheek gently, "I think it’s best to let it go. She’s pitiable too; don’t make things harder for her, especially since treating her this way will affect emotions, and Xiao Chen would feel the impact too, which I don’t want."

Wang Kefu felt like his heart was being pounded, as if he’d pluck stars and the moon for her.

He grabbed her tightly, pledging earnestly: "After the way she treated you, you still call her Big Sis?"

Men are like this; when the mistress is willing to acknowledge the wife, it means she’s not pushing for more, which is exactly what Wang Kefu desires. Although he wasn’t pleased with his wife, someone had to raise the child, and his old father was still around, so he didn’t dare act rashly... therefore, Shen Wanqing had to endure some grievance.

Shen Wanqing said softly: "I know my background isn’t good, and there were some things in my past. That’s why Big Sis wanted to pass me on to someone else, to kill your feelings. But... now I’m unwilling."

Upon hearing this, Wang Kefu became passionately entwined, holding her tightly.

The doctors and nurses in the emergency room couldn’t bear to watch any longer. A doctor cleared his throat: "If there’s nothing else, you can be discharged now."

Wang Kefu thanked them profusely, generously handed out a red envelope, and prepared to escort his beloved woman back to her small villa, planning to fetch his wife afterward.

The two of them, in each other’s arms at the elevator, stood waiting. When the elevator doors opened, everyone inside and out was stunned.

Inside the elevator were Qin Siyuan and Gu Mingzhu.

Gu Mingzhu apparently had a hand injury, and Qin Siyuan was holding her shoulder while she seemed unwilling.

Outside the elevator, Shen Wanqing was also in Wang Kefu’s arms; their relationship was obvious...
