Campus Ace Girl-Chapter 702 - 703: Too Luxurious for Such a Young Age

At his words, Bo Xichen just gave an odd laugh.

Old Master Bo huffed, "Isn’t it the truth?"

He felt he needed to remind his son, Nian Yao, that there wasn’t such a way to dote on a child. Bo Jin and Xichen had to toil and struggle to reach their current positions. How could they be like that little brat who slept until ten every day, had everything perfectly attended to by dedicated staff, and was now going to manage the company—Bo’s Pharmaceutical!

During breakfast, Old Master Bo, maintaining his status, voiced these concerns.

After he finished speaking, Bo Nianyao and Madam Bo remained silent, as did Bo Xichen. Bo Jin, however, coughed lightly and said in a low voice, "Father, most of Yunxi’s shares are now in the little one’s hands. Even this pastry you’re holding is, technically speaking, paid for by her, because all household expenses are drawn from her accounts."

Old Master Bo looked down at his favorite pastry in his hand and suddenly found it unappetizing.

The Old Master lost his temper. "How can this be? How can the prosperity of our entire family depend on a little girl? It seems she’s not even attending university, right? Can she really manage the household just by sleeping in every day?"

Despite his table-pounding and fuming, the Bo Family members were all used to it. Some continued eating breakfast, while others discussed their affairs. Old Master Bo, finding himself ignored, felt quite dejected. His mouth opened and closed, but in the end, he said nothing.

After he left, Bo Jin, who was heavily pregnant, frowned. "Will this be alright?"

Madam Bo attentively poured her a glass of milk. "There’s nothing wrong with it. His heart is entirely set on the little one right now, so he has no time to think about being an éminence grise or anything like that."

Bo Nianyao nodded in agreement. "It’s just tough on the little one."

Everyone in the Bo Family knew. The little one would return late at night, and the Old Master would still be keeping watch, even following her to the kitchen, practically drooling... It was indeed quite tough on her.

Bo Nianyao changed the subject. "By the way, the little one’s movie is about to be released. How are the pre-sales going?"

Bo Jin smiled. "Don’t worry, Big Brother. I’ve personally followed up on this. The premiere is tomorrow, and so far, pre-sales have already exceeded three hundred million."

Bo Nianyao nodded. "That’s good. Although the little one is managing the family business very well, she also needs to have her own interests and hobbies. Make sure you handle this matter properly."

Bo Jin smiled. "I understand, Big Brother."

Then, after a moment of hesitation, she added, "I heard that Gu Mingzhu is getting very close to Beauty Song Jia lately. I wonder if she’s up to something unspeakable again."

Hearing this, Madam Bo frowned and was the first to voice her disapproval. "She’s far too ungrateful! If it weren’t for the fact that they’re sisters, how could the little one have let her off so easily?"

Bo Jin had practically watched Gu Mingzhu grow up and had been on good terms with Tang Yuan before. She sighed, thinking it was a pity. "Actually, she started as a good seedling, but her temperament is just like Tang Yuan’s—always wanting to climb to a higher branch. Now that she sees there’s no hope with Min Xin, she’s actually trying to latch onto Bo Qing."

Madam Bo said resentfully, "How could Bo Qing be someone she can just latch onto? Just look at Beauty Song Jia. She’s supposedly his Junior Sister, but she’s like a dog by Bo Qing’s side."

She then said to Bo Jin, "I’ll leave this matter to you. Since it’s inconvenient for you with your pregnancy, if there’s anything you need me to do, just tell me. I have some connections, after all."

Bo Jin agreed. After finishing her meal, she left first in her chauffeur-driven car.

After that, those from the Bo Family who were eating breakfast dispersed, each to their own business. Old Master Bo waited eagerly for that little rascal to wake up.

Didn’t she say she’d get up at ten? Yet she ended up waking up at eleven, going straight to lunch! So undisciplined, yet Nian Yao and his wife still treated her like a treasure. I heard she even got an extra dish for lunch—Large wild ginseng! He, at his advanced age, had never had such nourishing supplements. For someone so young, it was truly... too extravagant!

After Gu Anxi finished her lunch, she prepared to go to her elder brother’s place for a scolding. Just as she got into the car, she found an old man had joined her.

She reached out to wipe the rearview mirror and said slowly, "I’m going to get yelled at. You want to come along too?"

Hearing she was going to get yelled at, Old Master Bo was incredibly interested, but his expression remained impassive as if he didn’t care. "I happen to have nothing else to do!"
