Chapter 149: Chapter 149 He Also Bought a Villa Here
Su ixi went to Feng Huang Bay today to check on the renovation progress.
She didn’t know much about renovations initially, but after so ti, she picked up a bit.
Although the renovation company hired by Gu Wei had a good reputation, so workers would cut corners when unsupervised, so Su ixi always made sure to check on the site herself before feeling at ease.
That day, as she was watching the craftsn lay wall tiles, a security guard ca over to tell her that soone was looking for her outside.
Even though no one had moved in yet, security had already been hired, arranged by Gu Wei through Gu Group—the costs would be directly deducted from Gu Wei’s account.
Su ixi went outside and saw a man standing in the dappled sunlight, wearing a floral shirt and white shorts.
His face was handso, but he wore a mischievous smile.
“How co you are here?” Su ixi asked.
Bai Anzhi flicked his hair, pointing casually in a direction. “I bought a building here too, the last one available.”
When Su ixi went to see the houses, there had been only two left; she chose the one close to the bridgehead, and Bai Anzhi had chosen the one behind the island.
She ntally grumbled: What bad luck.
This was a property worth over a billion.
“Did you know we bought a place here and deliberately did the sa?”
Bai Anzhi said, “It really is a coincidence. I just ca to look at the houses. The real estate manager let slip by mistake that the second young master of Gu Group bought a unit here. I imdiately put down a deposit. To keep up appearances, I had to borrow two billion to close the deal.”
“Why go to such lengths?” Su ixi asked.
“Just to experience your way of life,” Bai Anzhi replied with a cavalier attitude.
Su ixi, with a cold expression, demanded, “What exactly are your intentions?”
Bai Anzhi, still smiling with his arms crossed over his chest, said, “You don’t seem to be busy right now, so why not listen to my story? By the end of it, you’ll understand why I’m doing this.”
“Your story?” She scoffed. “I’m not interested in your story. I just want to know if you bear any ill will. Of course, even if you did, you wouldn’t tell . What exactly do you want? Are you targeting Gu Wei, or do you think you’re charming enough to seduce ? If you’re trying to poach from Gu Wei, let give you a piece of advice: give up. I’m not interested in soone like you, and I would never betray him.”
She decided to make everything clear in one go.
Bai Anzhi chuckled again. “Don’t speak too soon. But no, I bear no malice—I rely want to make friends with you, purely.”
“I am a married woman and am not interested in making friends randomly.” After saying this, Su ixi returned inside.
Despite the strong sll of the renovations, it was still better than staying outside.
She also told the security personnel not to let anyone in.
Bai Anzhi stood outside for a while, smiled to himself, then climbed into a flashy red Ferrari and drove off with a roar.
Su ixi sighed in relief when she heard the car fade into the distance.
…
Bai Anzhi had driven halfway ho when his mother called.
As soon as he answered, she started berating him. “You actually bought a villa in Feng Huang Bay, you prodigal!”
Bai Anzhi replied indifferently, “Didn’t you always tell to asure up to the Gu brothers since I was young? Now that they bought in Feng Huang Bay, it wouldn’t make sense if I didn’t get one.”
“All you know is to make comparisons. Why don’t you compete with them in making money? A billion or so is nothing to their family. Can you afford it? After you’ve spent all your money, will you have enough left for working capital?”
“That’s not sothing you need to worry about.”
“You idiot, you’ll never match up to them!”
The phone call ended, and Bai Anzhi felt frustrated and restless, stopping his car by the roadside.
mories of his childhood surfaced.
From a young age, his mother had told him to follow the Gu brothers’ example.
“Look at the Gu brothers who finished ninth grade in elentary school, you fool, you can’t even get a perfect score in primary school. What use are you to ?”
“Look at the Gu brothers, 170 cm tall at age 12, while you’re only 160 cm. You’re not just stupid but also short. How can you compare?”
“Look at Gu Cheng, taking part in the company’s affairs at 18, you fool!”
“…”
Bai Anzhi developed late in both his studies and height. He wasn’t the type to finish courses early; burying himself in textbooks every day would only tire him out. Indeed, he was only 160 cm at age 12, but he had a growth spurt at 13 and was 186 cm by 16.
However, his mother constantly belittled him, calling him stupid, an idiot, clueless, a waste.
He hated the Gu brothers but subconsciously tried to emulate them.
Including starting a pharmaceutical company and buying a villa.
And seeking won.
He knew Gu Cheng once had a woman who was mature, charming, and gentle… but it didn’t end well.
Since then, Gu Cheng had remained single, and Bai Anzhi also stayed single.
The Gu brothers progressed early in their education and professions but delayed in marriage. Bai Anzhi also stayed unmarried, differing from the brothers. He lived playfully, with countless won around him.
He found he had one advantage over the Gu brothers: won liked his unruliness and humor, his elegant charm.
When he t Su ixi, he thought she would be the sa—relentless pursuit would surely win her over.
Among his won, there were married ones who betrayed their husbands for him, and he hoped Su ixi would do the sa.
According to his investigation, Su ixi ca from a poor family, and her encounters with Gu Wei were few and far between. He believed that with his effort, it would take no more than three months to win her over.
Su ixi’s rejection now was natural, but once he unleashed his charm, she would surely take the bait.
…
That night, Gu Wei called Su ixi.
When he was not on special assignnts, he could call her.
She told Gu Wei about her encounter with Bai Anzhi.
Gu Wei asked, “Should we beef up security then? I can spare two bodyguards from my brother’s team to your place. Also, my brother can have soone keep an eye on Bai Anzhi, so we know of any moves he makes right away.”
“That won’t be necessary,” said Su ixi.
Despite her words, Gu Wei still made arrangents.
Gu Cheng’s n watched Bai Anzhi for a while and investigated him. He had no criminal record or motives; it was just that his girlfriends changed every three months.
Gu Cheng’s team surmised that he was simply attracted to Su ixi’s beauty and had approached her to flirt.
…
Wan Manyu was about to finish work when Leng Yiran called her. “Manman, are you staying at the Gu Family now?”
Wan Manyu replied, “I spend two days a week there; my godmother says she gets lonely by herself.”
