CHAPTER 33: CHAPTER 33 MRS QIN, YOU ARE LOOKING DOWN ON OTHERS IN A DOG’S EYES

Wang Keru took her hand. "Your uncle is waiting at home. Come back with me now."

Gu Anxi pulled her hand away.

Wang Keru was taken aback. "Gu Anxi, this is such a wonderful opportunity. Your uncle’s opinion of you has improved considerably. As long as you..."

Gu Anxi smiled softly. "As long as I obey and work for him, I can stay in the Qin family, even be with Qin Siyuan, right?"

Bo Xichen hadn’t left. At this moment, a slight ripple stirred in his eyes, but he didn’t speak, just stood quietly aside.

Wang Keru’s voice was somewhat forceful. "Gu Anxi, are you crazy? You’re turning down such immense wealth and status! Medical treatment costs money, right? I’ll pay. I can afford as many servants as you want. You just need to come back with me."

"And then what? Dad doesn’t matter anymore, and the Gu family is just finished like this..." Gu Anxi murmured, "Mom, do Dad, I, and the Gu family really mean nothing to you?"

Wang Keru was taken aback. Then she laughed. "The Gu family? Is there still a Gu family? My current comfortable life comes from the Qin family. Gu Anxi, how old are you? What do you even know?"

Her gaze suddenly turned to Bo Xichen. "Do you think this doctor is handsome? Even better looking than Qin Siyuan? But Gu Anxi, let me make something clear to you. How much does a doctor earn in a year? A few hundred thousand? Or over a million? Do you know how much the Qin family’s assets are worth? Tens of billions! And Siyuan, while still in school, has already started a company and is earning money—twenty to thirty million a year. His future is limitless! This is all money, Gu Anxi! You’d have to be out of your mind to waste time arguing with a doctor here. With your looks, you could easily find someone..."

Wang Keru’s sharp voice abruptly stopped, because Gu Anxi’s gaze was particularly terrifying, as if she were about to devour her.

Bo Xichen spoke very politely, "Madam Qin, my salary isn’t high, but I respect Miss Gu. As far as I know, Miss Gu just received fifty million from the Qin family today."

He paused for a moment, then smiled gently. "No matter what, she certainly wouldn’t need to just settle for anyone."

Wang Keru was furious. How dare a mere doctor contradict her? She wanted to vent her anger, but when her eyes met those ice-pale, unfathomably deep pupils, she found herself unable to utter a word. Their color was extremely pale, yet they were as deep as a dark abyss.

Wang Keru remained stunned for a good while before she snapped out of it. When she saw Gu Anxi again, she said coldly, "Think about it carefully. Otherwise, if you regret this later, don’t blame me for not being on your side."

The implication was clear: if Gu Anxi didn’t obey, Wang Keru would likely shift her support to Shen Wanqing. After all, Wang Keru couldn’t afford to be without backing in the Qin family. Even if she looked down on Shen Wanqing, she had to feign goodwill. As for Anxi, she was disposable.

Wang Keru left, leaving Gu Anxi standing in the same spot. She stood ramrod straight, with Bo Xichen just a meter away from her.

He seemed to want to say something, but Gu Anxi lowered her gaze. "It’s nothing. I’m used to it."

As she turned to leave, Bo Xichen called after her.

Under the dim yellow light, his voice was as gentle as ever. "If you need anything, come find me."

He walked over, took her phone from her hand, and his slender fingers tapped a few digits. Then, his own phone rang.

"My number." He smiled. "I’ll be staying in Qingcheng for a while."

"And then?" Gu Anxi tilted her head up.
