Chapter 100: Selling Daughter

Gu Xiao sensed Ji Yao’s malicious gaze and turned her head slightly to look in her direction.

After meeting Gu Xiao’s gaze, the malice in Ji Yao’s eyes intensified. She did not hide it at all and was not worried about being discovered by Gu Xiao at all.

Gu Xiao’s lips curled up slightly with a hint of mockery.

Her attitude clearly angered Ji Yao. Ji Yao subconsciously took two steps in Gu Xiao’s direction, as if she wanted to confront her.

However, she quickly remembered what kind of venue it was now and could only stop unwillingly.

Jiang He looked at Gu Xiao from time to time, waiting for her to make a fool of herself at the banquet. But even until Chu An came to look for Gu Xiao, she didn’t get the chance.

“Xiaoxiao!” Chu An saw Gu Xiao’s figure from afar and excitedly walked towards her.

He sized Gu Xiao up, and there seemed to be stars flashing in his eyes.

“Xiaoxiao, you look really good in this!”

When Gu Xiao heard this, she glanced at Jiang He and then said to Chu An, “It’s all thanks to Mrs. Jiang. Mrs. Jiang specially prepared this for me.”

Jiang He had prepared this gown with the intention of embarrassing Gu Xiao, but now, it became the reason why Gu Xiao shone brightly.

This fact was placed in front of her and made her feel depressed. When she heard Gu Xiao’s words, she immediately felt that the other party was mocking her.

She sneered. “Then don’t let me down. Don’t embarrass me!”

Jiang He emphasized the word “embarrass”. It was obvious that she wanted to see Gu Xiao lose face and make a fool of herself.

Chu An understood Gu Xiao’s situation in the Ji Family and naturally knew that Jiang He’s motive was probably not what Gu Xiao said on the surface.

Upon hearing Jiang He’s words, Chu An immediately frowned and looked at Jiang He with an unfriendly gaze.

Ji Gao was worried about the Chu family behind Chu An, so he immediately reached out to pull Jiang He. After giving Jiang He a warning look, he looked at Chu An gently.

“Second Young Master Chu, you’re here for my Xiaoxiao, right? Then I’ll leave my Xiaoxiao to you.”

Ji Gao easily handed Gu Xiao over to the hands a boy, without any worry at all. In fact, he was looking forward to it.

After all, to him, if he could really use his daughter, Gu Xiao, to get a connection with the Chu family, he would not bat an eye even if he really sold Gu Xiao.

Therefore, when Chu An came looking for her, he couldn’t wait to hand Gu Xiao over.

Chu An had seen all kinds of people in his previous life, so he naturally wouldn’t miss the flash of cunning light in Ji Gao’s eyes.

He knew what the other party was thinking, but if he wanted to use Xiaoxiao to please him, he might not be able to do as he wished.

However, he was more than happy to take Xiaoxiao away.

“Xiaoxiao, shall I show you around?” Chu An asked for Gu Xiao’s opinion.

Gu Xiao didn’t want to move around with the Ji Family, as she would feel both bored and disgusted. Hence, when Chu An said this, she nodded and agreed without thinking much.

Ji Chen, who was standing next to Gu Xiao, did not stop her when he saw that Gu Xiao was really willing to leave with him.

After watching Gu Xiao and Chu An leave, Ji Chen nodded at Ji Gao and left alone.

After all, his company was thriving, and he could not lack these social interactions of the business world.

After Gu Xiao was taken away by Chu An, she no longer paid attention to the Ji family. After walking a little further away, Gu Xiao asked, “Where do you plan to take me?”

Upon hearing this, Chu An stopped in his tracks. His eyes darted around, and he stammered, “How about we go see my parents?”

Gu Xiao raised her eyebrows and did not reply.

Chu An met Gu Xiao’s gaze and blinked. After concealing his guilt, he began to persuade her. “My mother has heard of you and has always wanted to see you with her own eyes. Can you bear to disappoint my mother?”

Actually, it wasn’t just Chu An’s mother. Even Chu An’s father, brother, and sister-in-law were secretly looking forward to meeting Gu Xiao.

After Chu An recovered from his illness, he didn’t have anyone close to him other than his family. He wasn’t even willing to interact with outsiders.

The Chu family had been worried about this for a long time until Gu Xiao’s arrival disrupted all of this..
