If Gu Xiao canât be controlled by him, then⦠Ji Gao thought with a dark expression.
Ji Yao saw Ji Gaoâs reaction and lowered her eyes slightly to hide her joy.
Previously, Ji Gao was able to stand on the sidelines because Gu Xiao did not interfere with his interests. Now that he saw Gu Xiaoâs attitude towards him, he would probably lose his cool.
She was just waiting. When Ji Gao couldnât take it anymore, she would have a chat with Li Wen. She didnât believe that she still couldnât chase Gu Xiao out of the Ji Family by then.
Ji Yao was happy and did not take this matter to heart.
However, Ji Yao did not expect that after dinner, Jiang He would specially look for her because of Li Wen.
âYaoyao, did you really say something to Wen?â
Ji Yaoâs eyes flashed. She clasped her hands together and looked conflicted. When she looked up at Jiang He, tears flashed across her eyes.
âMom, 1-1 didnât do it on purpose. Now, my classmates are unwilling to talk to me. Ah Wen seems to know something and asked me. I had no choice but to tell him.â
Seeing Ji Yaoâs frightened expression, Jiang He hurriedly sat near Ji Yao.
After getting close to Ji Yao, she even reached out and stroked her back comfortingly.
âIâm not saying that youâre in the wrong, but you should discuss this with me. Two people are better than one.â As Jiang He spoke, a trace of hatred flashed across her eyes. âBesides, I also think that Gu Xiao canât stay in the Ji family anymore.â
Hearing Jiang Heâs words, a trace of disdain flashed across Ji Yaoâs lowered eyes.
So what if she told Jiang He? Jiang He had nothing now, and she was extremely stupid. If she really told Jiang He, the other party might even ruin her plan.
Ji Yao did not show it, even though she was thinking such thoughts.
âThen does Mom have any other ideas? You saw it today. Even if itâs Ah Wenâs opinion, Dad wonât listen.â
Jiang Heâs hand that was caressing Ji Yaoâs back slowly stopped. She thought for a while before saying to Ji Yao, âI heard that your grandfather is coming back from his vacation. Letâs find a time to meet him later!â
Hearing this, Ji Yao subconsciously shivered.
Her grandfather did not leave a good impression on her.
She reached out and held Jiang Heâs hand. She pleaded, âMom, can we not go and meet Grandpa? Grandpa doesnât like me. The moment he sees me⦠Iâm not the Ji familyâs biological daughter now. Grandpa⦠Mom, Iâm really scared.â
When Jiang He saw Ji Yaoâs reaction, she realized that she must have misunderstood something.
She quickly patted Ji Yaoâs hand comfortingly and looked at her gently.
âWhen we meet your grandfather later, we have to bring Gu Xiao along. When the time comes, just hide behind me and push Gu Xiao out.â
Ji Yaoâs eyes lit up. âMom, you meanâ¦â
âOthers canât, but canât your grandfather do it? Even if your father is the CEO of Ji Group, he still has to listen to your grandfather.â
As Jiang He spoke, a trace of viciousness flashed across her eyes. She had never thought that the person she wanted to deal with now was her biological daughter!
Ji Yao leaned on Jiang Heâs shoulder and rubbed against it affectionately.
âI knew Mom was the best to me.â
Jiang He looked sideways at Ji Yao and raised her hand to stroke Ji Yaoâs hair. Her voice was gentle and firm.
âYouâre my only daughter. If I donât treat you well, who else can I treat well?â
A few days later, Ji Chen returned to the Ji residence under Jiang Heâs order. When Gu Xiao saw Ji Chen in the living room after school, her eyes lit up and she walked towards him.
âBrother, why are you back today? Isnât the company busy?â
Ji Chenâs company could be said to be thriving, and as the CEO of the company, Ji Chen had many things to deal with and rarely came back to the Ji residence.
Hearing Gu Xiaoâs voice, Ji Chen looked up and waved at Gu Xiao, asking her to sit down next to him.
âMom called me and asked me to come back. She said that itâs a holiday tomorrow and that the family should go and see Grandpa..â
