Chapter 971 - 970: What’s Keeping Her So Busy?
The Wang brothers looked at her, unmoving.Gu Anxi stretched lazily: "It’s getting late. I need to sleep too. Goodnight, uncles."
With that, she got up and headed upstairs. Her attitude was not particularly warm, as if she wasn’t very interested in money, which genuinely startled the Wang brothers. They couldn’t figure out whether she was being genuine or not.
However, Wang Kegui quickly called out: "Anxi, let’s talk some more, just for a little while..."
Gu Anxi blinked: "I’m really busy."
"What’s there to be busy with this late at night?" Wang Kefu lightly coughed: "Uncles do have something to ask of you. We’re practically begging you to accept these shares, otherwise the old man will surely break our legs."
Gu Anxi was puzzled, frowned: "Is it that serious?"
Wang Kefu with a bitter face, "Who says it isn’t? The old man is so troubled by this that he can’t even eat or sleep, and isn’t staying at the house. That’s why he immediately sent us over. If you don’t accept these shares, we two uncles simply won’t leave."
Not leaving?
Gu Anxi thought it over, and that wouldn’t do. Who knows how good the soundproofing is!
She lightly coughed: "It’s useless to camp out here."
Suddenly, she slapped her forehead: "I know, there’s a problem at the company, and you want someone to take the fall."
She squinted at the two of them: "I’m not that foolish."
With that, she clumsily shoved the documents back into their arms: "I don’t want them."
The two Wang uncles were dumbstruck. Was this a thing?
Also, was Gu Anxi truly foolish or just pretending?
They dumbly watched their little niece swiftly dash upstairs, her steps were particularly quick, as if she was rushing for something.
"Big brother, what should we do now?" Wang Kegui picked up the documents, asking the elder brother.
For matters bound to bring scolding, it’s better to follow the elder’s lead.
Wang Kefu snorted: "What can we do? We can’t go upstairs and drag her down."
But after saying that, he did roll up his sleeves: "We might actually have to drag her down. Why did she run away... is she doing it on purpose, hoping to see us fail?"
Wang Kegui was about to speak when Manager Ma slowly came down the stairs, so he went up immediately to inquire.
Manager Ma looked up at the upper floor, smiling: "It’s better not to disturb them. They’re just a couple, let them be. Little Gu’s always going to leave it alone."
"Why?" Uncle Kefu asked somewhat cluelessly.
Manager Ma chuckled: "Why? You tell me why. Weren’t you two ganging up against Little Gu? Now that she’s not willing to wade into this mess, you come running up, sounding rather cheap, aren’t you? Besides, Little Gu isn’t lacking in money, doesn’t need to worry about her."
The Wang brothers thought inwardly, isn’t this just a bit of money? How much money does she have!!!
Manager Ma looked somewhat enigmatic: "In any case, this time you’ve offended Little Gu. I suggest you find someone wiser, perhaps ask Lin Yuan, or go directly to Beicheng and ask Mr. Wang. Say you’re relatives of Little Gu, I believe Mr. Wang will at least be courteous enough to meet with you."
Wang Kefu was almost crying: "That’s impossible."
But even if it’s impossible, they have to do it. Manager Ma had already asked the servants to see them out, and when they returned, they would surely have a scolding from Old Wang. However, despite the scolding, Old Wang understood that Anxi might have grown an estrangement towards him, and was unlikely to help easily, causing him to burn with anxiety, unable to sleep the whole night...
When it was nearing dawn, the Wang elder brother, somewhat sneaky and cunning, came up with a brilliant idea—
"Didn’t Gu Anxi bring a little girl, supposedly raised by a Qin? We just need to capture her, and we’ll have leverage for her to agree."
He finished speaking and everyone in the Wang family looked at him.
The elder Wang brother scratched his head: "If it’s inappropriate, forget it."
At this moment, Old Wang lightly coughed: "This is a last resort... it’s not like we mean to harm her."
"Yes, yes, not intentionally, just want to have a good talk with Anxi..."

On the other side, the little darling was all carefree and cheerful, only finally going to sleep at two in the morning.
While lying down, she whispered: "When should I give this face?"
Bo Xichen chuckled, reached out and patted her: "The mood is just right, why bring this up now."
Gu Anxi buried her small face and chuckled too: "You have the nerve to say I’m distracted, you were daydreaming several times."
"Hmm?" he spoke dangerously: "Am I not satisfying you?"
She gave a thin scream: "I wouldn’t dare..."
Later, she obediently begged for mercy, saying whatever he loved to hear... until he was satisfied.
