Chapter 1367: The Gao Family No More
Chapter 1367: Chapter 1367: The Gao Family No More
“How did you know I joined the Dream Pursuit? And how do you know I’m Qing Kong?”
Meng Shuqing suddenly remembered something and asked with great interest.
“At eight o’clock tonight, come here, and I can tell you.” Gao Hu directly handed over a room card. This card was originally intended for his new girlfriend, but after seeing Meng Shuqing, Gao Hu changed his mind.
Meng Shuqing looked at the room card on the table with cold eyes. She stood up and directly poured the coffee she hadn’t finished from the cup onto Gao Hu’s face.
Gao Hu had been a little bully from a young age, someone no one dared to mess with in Beiyang.
Getting splashed with coffee?
Gao Hu was stunned for a long time before he reacted.
“If you want to beat others, win fair and square. Poaching and giving room cards? Who do you think you are?” Meng Shuqing looked down at Gao Hu, clearly seeing that Gao Hu came from a decent family but was not properly raised.
If anyone in their family was like Gao Hu, they would have been beaten out with a big stick long ago!
A total disgrace to the Gao Family.
“You, you…”
Gao Hu pointed at Meng Shuqing, wiping the coffee off his face. His anger was full; he just wanted to teach this naive woman a good lesson.
However, before Gao Hu’s fingers could touch Meng Shuqing, he was directly knocked to the ground by someone.
‘Ah~!’
The originally quiet café was suddenly filled with screams.
Meng Shuqing was prepared for Gao Hu to act, but when she saw the person behind him, she couldn’t help but smirk.
“Take your room card and leave; you’ve dirtied the café floor.”
An Bai raised his hand, using a coaster to toss the room card onto Gao Hu. His presence was surrounded by a chilling aura.
Gao Hu wanted to curse him, but when he met An Bai’s cold eyes, he didn’t dare to say a word.
An Bai had the aura of a superior, while Gao Hu was a bully who picked on the weak but feared the strong. When faced with An Bai’s icy gaze, Gao Hu didn’t dare say anything.
Having never suffered such a loss, being pointed at and gossiped about, Gao Hu could no longer care about the room card as he fled in a panic.
“Are you okay?”
An Bai, concerned, approached Meng Shuqing, scrutinizing her, almost wanting to check her from head to toe to confirm she was alright and safe.
“I’m fine, you don’t need to worry.”
Meng Shuqing felt embarrassed by An Bai’s actions and explained, “I wasn’t bullied; you arrived just in time.”
After confirming she was safe, An Bai turned his attention to the café staff, expressing his desire to purchase all their video footage.
Although Chenchen was the victim in this incident, An Bai disliked Chenchen’s affairs being scrutinized by others.
An Bai paid to have all the videos destroyed before leaving with Meng Shuqing.
“Weren’t you on a business trip? Why did you come back?” Meng Shuqing thought he was on a business trip; how did he come back?
An Bai glanced at her and said, “If I hadn’t come back, would you just let yourself get bullied by others?”
“How could that happen? Just with him, how could he possibly bully me?” Meng Shuqing thought of Gao Hu and was still annoyed. She said, “That guy named Gao just wanted me to join his team; I didn’t expect him to be so despicable and shameless.”
The room card and whatnot, Meng Shuqing could easily imagine with just her toes that if she went, Gao Hu would definitely not let it go.
“Weren’t you against joining other people’s teams? Why did you suddenly think of playing games with them?”
An Bai knew Meng Shuqing well; she disliked showing her face. If it were an online game where she didn’t need to show her face, she would definitely like it. But this kind of real-life operation competition would require her to show her face.
“Uh, this time is a bit special.”
Meng Shuqing explained to An Bai, focusing on Xu Fang’s situation.
An Bai was silent for a moment before saying, “I’ll go with you.”
“Ah…”
Meng Shuqing looked at him in surprise, seemingly asking, “Do you have time?”
Besides managing his company, Aunt Qing’s business seemed to have been handed over to An Bai. This time on a business trip, An Bai went to handle matters. In that case, did An Bai have time to accompany them in the competition?
Moreover, she was about to start her winter vacation; near the year-end An Bai should be extremely busy.
“Yes.”
An Bai thought, even if there’s no time, there must be time.
No matter how big the issue, it’s not bigger than wooing his wife.
Thus, the team had an additional member.
Zhao Feng and the others personally watched An Bai play games; his skills were incredibly impressive, something they naturally wished for.
Xu Fang stared at An Bai’s hands on the keyboard, his distinct fingers dancing over the keys. He couldn’t help feeling that the operation seemed a bit familiar.
Meanwhile, the Gao Family was a mess recently, with scandals after scandals being exposed, and the company’s stock price kept plummeting. Issues that were previously put out of sight were now all coming to light.
Gao Hu originally wanted to investigate Meng Shuqing’s situation and the man from that day, but with the chaos at home, he couldn’t even take care of himself.

An Bai saw this result and raised his eyebrows, telling his assistant, “It’s not enough. The Gao Family should receive the punishment they deserve, right?”
The assistant nodded affirmatively, saying, “Don’t worry, President. The Gao Family won’t bounce back anymore.”
“Hmm.”
An Bai no longer paid attention to the small Gao Family but thought about how to use the competition as an opportunity to strengthen his relationship with Chenchen.
On the other side, Meng Shuqing was explaining to her parents why she’d be returning home late this winter break.
After clearing it up several times, Meng Shuqing went with Jian Xing to visit Mrs. Xu in the hospital.
The team had agreed to check on Mrs. Xu today.
Mrs. Xu’s situation required some time for body nourishment before starting surgery, conveniently right after the competition.
Mrs. Xu was a very gentle person. Even with a serious illness, she continued smiling, appearing kind and caring.
She exuded sunshine.
Meng Shuqing realized that no wonder Xu Fang was so sunny and positive. With such an optimistic mother, the child had to be the same.
After leaving the hospital, Jian Xing remained in a bad mood, saying, “Aunt Xu is so nice, she will definitely be okay.”
“And Xu Fang is really filial.”
Once Jian Xing mentioned Xu Fang and Mrs. Xu, she couldn’t stop talking.
Meng Shuqing confidently said, “Indeed, they have a great mother-son bond. Good people receive good fortune; Aunt Xu will definitely have a smooth surgery. Oh, Xingxing, I noticed, about Xu Fang you seem…”
“I don’t like him!” Jian Xing jumped up and retorted.
