When Ji Gao heard this, his gaze also landed on Old Master Ji, and there was an obvious trace of nervousness in his eyes.

To be honest, he did not care if Jiang He divorced him or not, but he could not leave with nothing! The Ji Group was already in Ji Chen’s hands, and he could not lose anything else now!

Being stared at by the two of them, it was the first time that Old Master Ji felt that this matter was a little difficult.

If anything, he would definitely not be willing to let Jiang He and Ji Gao divorce, especially since it was an outsider like Jiang He who proposed the divorce. But now, no matter what, it was Ji Gao’s fault. If Jiang He refused to relent, then…

Old Master Ji’s thoughts churned as he looked at Jiang He with a hint of comfort in his eyes.

“He’er! Look, you and Ji Gao have already been together for so many years. More than half of your life has passed. It’s not good to get a divorce! As the saying goes, family scandals can’t be aired in public. If outsiders find out that you’re divorced now, what will they think of you and the Ji family?”

Jiang He valued her pride the most. When she heard Old Master Ji’s words, she hesitated.

She could no longer reconcile with Gu Xiao. If she divorced Ji Gao again, how would she get along with Gu Xiao? Should she apologize to Gu Xiao and get along harmoniously?

Old Master Ji’s eyes lit up when he saw Jiang He’s expression soften slightly.

“I also know that He’er was wronged in this matter! Don’t worry, 1 will definitely seek justice for you!”

As he spoke, Old Master Ji’s expression crumbled. He looked at Ji Gao with drooping eyelids. “You were in the wrong in this matter! You should apologize to He’er! You don’t have to stay here anymore either. 1 won’t let you return to the Ji Group! Go coax He’er for me! If He’er doesn’t want to change her mind, you don’t have to stay in this Ji family anymore!”

“Dad! How can you let a man like me coax…”

Old Master Ji looked up and seemingly said, “Huh?” This dissatisfied attitude immediately made Ji Gao shut up.

“What? You don’t even want to listen to your father anymore?!”

Ji Gao opened his mouth and said dejectedly, “Dad, that’s not what 1 meant.”

Seeing that Ji Gao had lowered his head, Old Master Ji looked at Jiang He again. “He’er, look. Because Ji Gao knows his mistake now, can you give him another chance? As long as you’re willing, you can torture Ji Gao however you want! If he’s unwilling, you can come and find me!”

Hearing Old Master Ji’s words, Jiang He’s eyes lit up.

To be honest, if she really divorced Ji Gao, wouldn’t that indirectly prove that the rumors outside were true? Then what would those people in the upper-class circle think of her? How would they mock her for being blind and treating a fake as genuine?

Moreover… she could order Ji Gao around at will.

If outsiders saw her ordering Ji Gao around, wouldn’t her status be higher?

When Jiang He thought of the compliments from the others, she was instantly tempted.

However, in front of Old Master Ji and Ji Gao, it was not appropriate for her to express her thoughts.

She deliberately pondered for a while. “Dad! You have to keep your word. This time, I’ll give you face and not argue with Ji Gao for the time being. But if Ji Gao can’t satisfy me, then I’ll let Ji Gao leave with nothing in the future. You can’t stop me anymore!”

Seeing that Jiang He was no longer forcing a divorce, Old Master Ji had no reason to refuse.

He nodded. “He’er, don’t worry. If Ji Gao does anything stupid again, 1 don’t need you to say anything. I can make the decision to make him scram!”

After receiving Old Master Ji’s assurance, Jiang He nodded in satisfaction.

She glanced at Ji Gao arrogantly and snorted. “Come back with me! 1 still have a lot of things 1 need you to do!” Her last sentence was especially meaningful, as if she had already thought of how to torture Ji Gao.

Ji Gao wanted to get angry, but under Old Master Ji’s threatening gaze, he did not dare to say anything. He could only follow Jiang He and leave aggrievedly.

The farce in the Ji family’s old residence was also spread by someone Chu An had specially arranged. In less than half a day, what happened in the Ji family’s old residence happened reached Chu An’s ears. There was even a video that someone had specially filmed.

At night, after returning home after a day of class, Chu An couldn’t wait to tell Gu Xiao about this.

When Gu Xiao heard this, she raised her eyebrows in surprise and looked puzzled. “Jiang He has already caused such a huge ruckus, but they still haven’t gotten a divorce? 1 thought that Jiang He would be impatient to chase Ji Gao out!” Towards the end, Gu Xiao’s words carried a hint of disappointment..
