Growth-type Super Rich

Chapter 342 - 240: I Won’t Lock My Bedroom Door Tonight

Wu Xuanyi was staring blankly out the car window at the villa district. Hearing the gossip, she couldn’t help but show a contemptuous smile. Compared to the shallow boasts of other girls, she wanted more.

Because of being Gu Bai’s sister, Xu Beibei became the object of everyone’s envy, and even Wu Xuanyi was no exception.

And today, after having close contact with Gu Bai, a crazy idea welled up in her heart. Since its inception, this idea has only grown stronger.

Just as the bus was about to start, Wu Xuanyi pretended to be looking for something.

She then turned to a girl sitting next to her and said, "I think I left my apartment keycard in the villa!"

"Huh? How could you be so careless? Without a keycard, you can’t get into the room. Why don’t you tell the program team and see if there is a spare keycard?"

"It must have fallen out of my bag when I was touching up my makeup. Is there still time for me to go back and get it?"

"The bus is about to start... I don’t think there’s time for that, right?"

"It doesn’t matter, you guys go ahead. I’ll go back and fetch it. I’ll take a cab back later."

After saying that, Wu Xuanyi got up and ran off the bus.

She wasn’t the only clever girl; in fact, many girls could guess what was happening if they thought about it, but just didn’t dare to say it out loud.

As Wu Xuanyi got off the bus, she happened to encounter Cao Xianzong, who was about to board.

Cao Xianzong looked at the hurried Wu Xuanyi and said, "The bus is about to start, where are you going?"

Wu Xuanyi repeated the same story as before.

"Director, my keycard fell in the villa. I’m going back to get it. You guys go ahead; I’ll take a cab back later."

"Keycard?"

Cao Xianzong gave her a suspicious look, then seemed to think of something, and looked at her meaningfully.

"Be careful on your way back."

Cao Xianzong was a veteran in the entertainment industry; he instantly understood what little trick Wu Xuanyi had in mind. If it were another girl group trainee, he wouldn’t have agreed, since there were ways to remedy a lost keycard.

But this girl was Wu Xuanyi. Through tonight’s banquet, Cao Xianzong knew she would soon become an artist under Gu Bai’s company, so there was no need to block her path of ascent.

Seeing the look in Cao Xianzong’s eyes, Wu Xuanyi lowered her gaze with a bit of guilt.

"Got it, Director..."

After speaking, Wu Xuanyi reentered the villa district.

................

A few minutes later, led by a maid, Wu Xuanyi returned to the villa’s hall.

Gu Bai frowned slightly at Wu Xuanyi’s return, while Xu Beibei, who was watching TV, suddenly jumped up and said, "Xuanyi, why are you back?"

With a somewhat apologetic smile, Wu Xuanyi said, "Chairman Gu, Beibei, sorry to disturb your rest. I couldn’t find my apartment keycard earlier. I thought it might have fallen here, so I wanted to come back and look."

Gu Bai didn’t ponder the credibility of this statement and directly instructed Tino Rodlin, "Have the servants help Ms. Wu look for her keycard."

Following Gu Bai’s instructions, Tino Rodlin immediately mobilized the servants to search for Wu Xuanyi’s keycard.

But Wu Xuanyi’s expression was subtly different because the so-called "keycard" was actually in her bag.

"Xuanyi, don’t just stand there; come sit down."

Invited by Xu Beibei, Wu Xuanyi also sat down beside her.

The two began to evaluate who performed well and who did not, and with Wu Xuanyi present, Gu Bai was temporarily cast aside by Xu Beibei, leaving him content to play on his phone.

While chatting with Xu Beibei, Wu Xuanyi’s eyes occasionally glanced over Gu Bai’s face.

After twenty minutes, Tino Rodlin returned to the hall and said to Wu Xuanyi, "I’m sorry, Ms. Wu, we’ve searched every corner of the villa, but we couldn’t find your keycard."

"Ah..."

Wu Xuanyi put on a disappointed look, then stood up and said, "Since we couldn’t find it, never mind. I’ll go sleep at a hotel tonight, and see if the program team can solve this issue tomorrow."

After saying that, she prepared to say goodbye to Gu Bai.

Seeing Wu Xuanyi about to leave, Xu Beibei hurriedly pleaded, "It’s so late already, don’t go to the hotel. Just sleep here tonight; there are many rooms in the villa! Tomorrow, the butler can take us both to the filming location."

Internally, Wu Xuanyi thought, "Nice," but outwardly she still hesitated and said, "Isn’t that inappropriate?"

"No problem!"

After Xu Beibei said this to her, she turned to look at Gu Bai and asked, "Right, brother?"

Gu Bai focused his gaze on Wu Xuanyi, noting her slightly evasive eyes. He largely understood the situation, then smiled softly and said, "Since Beibei wants you to stay, just stay. I’m going back to Shanghai in a few days and won’t feel at ease leaving Beibei alone in the villa.

Your keycard is lost, so during the filming period, you can stay here."

Upon hearing Gu Bai’s reply, before Wu Xuanyi could speak, Xu Beibei excitedly said, "That’s great! Xuanyi, you can stay here. Tomorrow, I’ll have Chao Yue move in with us, and the three of us can stay together!"

Wu Xuanyi glanced at Xu Beibei and then thanked Gu Bai, "Thank you, Chairman Gu..."

Gu Bai’s expression remained calm as he nodded slightly.

Suddenly, Gu Bai turned to Xu Beibei and said, "It’s almost ten o’clock; why aren’t you going to bathe and get ready for bed?"

Xu Beibei glanced at the time and quickly stuck out her tongue.

"I know!"

Then she said to Wu Xuanyi, "I’ll go bathe first, and once I’m done, I’ll show you to your room."

After speaking, she hopped towards the bathroom, followed by two maids.

As soon as Xu Beibei was gone, Gu Bai’s smiling face turned expressionless. He signaled Tino Rodlin and the servants to leave.

"So, tell me, what are you planning to do tonight?"

Gu Bai’s question came unexpectedly. Wu Xuanyi’s heart skipped a beat, and she hesitantly replied, "I... I lost the keycard..."

Gu Bai turned his face towards her, a mocking smile on his face.

"That story might fool Beibei, but it’s unnecessary to say it to me."

Facing Gu Bai, Wu Xuanyi’s heart raced. Finally, she made up her mind and said, "I want the same treatment as Beibei! But I’m not your sister, so I can only..."

Even if Wu Xuanyi didn’t finish her sentence, Gu Bai knew what she meant.

Lighting a cigarette, Gu Bai slowly exhaled a smoke ring.

"The same treatment as Beibei? Then I’m afraid I have to tell you, there’s no chance.

Maybe someday another girl will enjoy the same treatment as Xu Beibei, but you, Wu Xuanyi...

No chance."

Gu Bai’s tone was unusually flat, devoid of emotion, and Wu Xuanyi’s face turned pale upon hearing his words.

She understood what Gu Bai’s rejection meant: if she fell out of his favor, she might lose everything she had gained.

"I..."

Wu Xuanyi felt she had countless things to say, yet couldn’t utter a word.

After a minute of silence, Wu Xuanyi let out a bitter laugh and slowly said, "I understand, Chairman Gu. Then I’ll leave now..."

Gu Bai looked at Wu Xuanyi’s status panel.

"Name: Wu Xuanyi

Beauty: 91

Health: 90

Affection: 70"

Her beauty exceeded 90.

The completion rate of dates he arranged had reached 7/10, plus the twin sisters waiting in Shanghai, making it 9/10. Including Wu Xuanyi, it indicated it was complete.

Thinking of this, Gu Bai stood up and called out to Wu Xuanyi, who was about to exit the villa, "I said no Beibei’s treatment, but I didn’t say you couldn’t have a far superior treatment."

Hearing Gu Bai’s words, Wu Xuanyi immediately turned around, staring directly at him.

"Some things need not be explicitly stated; Beibei’s importance is irreplaceable.

However, I think a treatment far surpassing most should be quite enticing, right? Since Beibei wants you to stay, then stay here. I don’t want her to complain to me when she comes out."

Gu Bai then turned and headed upstairs.

With his back to Wu Xuanyi, Gu Bai’s voice slowly reached her ears.

"Decide for yourself if it’s worth it. Tonight, my door will be unlocked."
