Chapter 232: Chapter 232

"Oh, it was just something I said in the heat of the moment." Gu Anxi acted as if it were no big deal.

Qin Han breathed a silent sigh of relief. Women are easily pacified after all.

In any case, Gu Anxi probably felt that being married into the Bo Family, with the Qin family as a backup, offered more prestige.

But she herself was from a wealthy family. Why would she need help from the declining Qin family?

At that moment, Gu Anxi seemed like a typical scumbag—neither taking initiative, nor rejecting, nor taking responsibility... Her attitude was ambiguous.

Qin Han flattered her a little more before returning to the main subject. "I’ve set up a lab specializing in studying some rare elements. I thought, such a big project has to be handled by family. Anxi, you should work in my lab from now on. If the project is successful, I won’t let you go unrewarded."

Gu Anxi gave a faint smile. "Chemistry, huh? That’s my forte. What’s the project about?"

Qin Han said, holding a little back, "It’s about purifying a certain rare element. It’s very profitable. The Qin family business is going to focus on this in the future. Anxi, as family, we should combine our strengths. What do you think?"

Gu Anxi pondered for a while. "I need to think it over. Of course, I will also have my salary expectations."

Qin Han was overjoyed.

If Gu Anxi had agreed right away, he would have felt uneasy. However, her clear intention to consider it made him feel like the situation was all but settled.

Young people, huh? Those who achieve fame early need some boosting.

Qin Han felt the meetup had gone very well. Although he wasn’t a hundred percent sure, relations between the two parties had certainly eased. In the end, he even managed to forcefully press the large diamond ring into Wang Keru’s hand. He promised to buy an even bigger one if they remarried and to organize a wedding of the century...

Wang Keru just listened.

Upon reaching the car, as Gu Anxi was slowly fastening her seatbelt, Wang Keru seemed nervous. "Anxi, what does he mean by setting up a laboratory? Does he intend to do something bad?"

Gu Anxi shook her head, her gaze lowered. "No, he wants me to help him purify Jing!"

Wang Keru was shocked. "You knew about this?"

Gu Anxi nodded. "Because I was the one who managed to extract it. It was a bit challenging; it took me a whole day."

Wang Keru continued to gape.

Gu Anxi went on, "The substance is at Bishui Yun Tian, so the Qin family is desperate to get it. They’d be willing to pay not just one billion, but even ten billion if they have to."

At this point, Wang Keru connected the dots. "So the car accident two years ago... did it have anything to do with Bishui Yun Tian?"

Gu Anxi was silent for a moment, then whispered, "The Qin family alone wouldn’t know the secret of Bishui Yun Tian. There’s someone else behind them."

The real culprit was someone else. Nᴇw novel chapters are publɪshed on 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵•𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮•𝓷𝓮𝓽

The Qin family had merely acted as enforcers. They were just a group of pitiable fools, lost in their beautiful dreams.

Wang Keru was stunned again. "Who could that person be... the one behind all this?"

"In Beicheng," Gu Anxi said quietly. "Next month, I’m going to Beicheng... as an exchange student."

She paused for a moment. "I believe, with Bishui Yun Tian in my hands, that person will come looking for me sooner or later."

Wang Keru was completely dumbfounded.

Was the person in front of her really Gu Anxi? Was this truly the child she had watched grow up?

Why did she seem so powerful... to the point of being almost surreal?

Wang Keru reached out, gently touched Gu Anxi’s face, then sharply pinched her own leg.

Gu Anxi tossed the diamond ring into her lap. "Mom, you don’t need to worry about all this. You just need to spend money, go shopping, enjoy tea and beauty treatments, and be the good Mrs. Gu."
