Campus Ace Girl-Chapter 692 - 693: The Dispute of the Family Head

When they saw her, the memory of how she had dealt with the traitors that day made them shudder. "Of course, we think Nian Yao makes a fine Family Head. He has brought us many benefits."

Once one person spoke up, a chorus of voices followed, echoing that Bo Nianyao was excellent and there was no need for a change.

The old patriarch of the Bo Family pulled a long face. "It seems my words carry no weight in this family anymore."

He had initially thought family matters could be resolved internally—as long as this group agreed, Bo Qing would naturally ascend. But he hadn’t expected that after he had only been in seclusion for a few years, these people would all become so disobedient. It wasn’t like this in the past.

The patriarch’s eyes glinted sharply as he looked at his son.

His son was still his son—calm and composed, with an air of serene detachment from worldly affairs. To put it bluntly, he was still afraid of his wife.

His gaze then shifted to Gu Anxi, who had just entered. That little brat had the Bo Family’s collateral branches completely under her thumb, acting as if she were the true pillar of this family. Great! This must be that little bastard’s doing.

The patriarch’s face darkened. "You all call yourselves heroes, yet you’re frightened by a junior?"

He paused, his gaze sweeping over everyone again.

But those people just kept looking at Gu Anxi, gauging her expression before acting.

The patriarch’s old face flushed crimson with anger. "My word is final on this matter! Do you hear me?"

The people below remained silent, their eyes still on the young woman.

Gu Anxi coughed lightly. "Why are you all looking at me? Come now, speak your minds freely. Don’t let anyone think you’re acting on my orders."

She shrugged again. "What can a little girl like me do? I’m unarmed and helpless. How could I possibly influence them? Grandfather, you overestimate me."

The patriarch’s mustache bristled with anger, and he roared again, "Have you all lost your tongues?"

One person among them finally stammered, "Nian Yao... is quite good." Having said his piece, he quickly shrank back, as if tucking his tail.

"Fine! Fine!" The patriarch stood up, pointing at them and scolding each one. "So, none of you listen to me anymore, is that it? Alright! We’ll wait for the Jiang, Gu, and Chu families to arrive and settle this. Then, I’ll deal with you bunch of rascals one by one!"

The members of the Bo Family’s collateral branches began to feel a little scared.

The Jiang Family supports Bo Qing. If the Chu Family turns out to be cowardly, then...

They glanced at Gu Anxi again.

Gu Anxi simply shrugged.

Just then, a voice sounded from the entrance, "The Jiang Family naturally supports Bo Qing."

Everyone looked and saw Jiang Bin.

The patriarch stroked his mustache in satisfaction. "Xiao Jiang is indeed sensible."

After speaking, he glanced at his son. You’re the one who’s not sensible. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

Bo Nianyao gave a wry smile.

Jiang Bin said to Bo Nianyao, "Brother Bo, my apologies, but I am more optimistic about Bo Qing."

Bo Nianyao wasn’t particularly bothered. "It’s not your fault. A fine bird chooses a good tree to roost in."

Gu Anxi looked puzzled. "Father Bo, are you implying he’s a beast?"

Bo Nianyao feigned anger. "You little rascal, always spouting nonsense! It’s a figure of speech."

Gu Anxi said, "Oh! And here I thought you were calling him a beast!"

Jiang Bin had suffered at her hands before and was seething with anger, yet he maintained a magnanimous facade. "Nian Yao, I won’t bicker with a child."

Heh heh. Just wait until the Bo Family is in Bo Qing’s hands, and King Jingyao loses his power. We’ll see how I deal with you then, you little wench!

Gu Anxi smiled faintly.

The patriarch stood up. "Notify Gu Yuanshan and Chu Changhe immediately. We’ll settle everything today!"
