Chapter 66: Two Requests
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Of course, Mr Ji was suspicious, so he went to do a paternity test to prove that Ji Yao was indeed not his biological child. But so what? He had already put in so much effort and she could bring him benefits now. How could he give her up now?
It was precisely because Mr Ji had such thoughts, that he did not have the thought of looking for his biological daughter.
However, could Mr Ji say that now? No!
After a long time, Mr Ji said, âI noticed it, but I didnât think in that direction.â
Actually, after seeing Mr Jiâs appearance, Gu Xiao knew that he didnât care. After all, he was a person who only cared about benefits. If he hadnât seen her value in this life, he definitely wouldnât have looked for her.
Forget it. Gu Xiao did not intend to dwell on this because she suddenly thought of something fun.
Gu Xiao looked up at Mr Ji and said calmly, âActually, I can go back too. Then shouldnât Ji Yao return to her parents, Gu Shan and Xie Fang?â
Mr Ji did not expect Gu Xiao to make such a request. He was conflicted about this. Although Ji Yao had indeed disappointed him more and more recently, Ji Yao still had one last bit of value. For example, a marriage alliance would bring benefits to the company.
Gu Xiao was not disappointed when she saw the conflicted expression on Mr Jiâs face. After all, she had long known that he would not give up on Ji Yao, and what she said was not her true goal.
After a while, Gu Xiao said, âOr you donât have to send Ji Yao back. Then you have to agree to two of my requests.â
Mr Ji heaved a sigh of relief after hearing Gu Xiaoâs words. Then, he asked, âWhat are the requests?â
Seeing Mr Jiâs eager look, Gu Xiao lowered her eyes slightly to hide the mockery in them. Then, she said, âGu Shan, and Xie Fang maliciously swapped the two of us back then. This should be considered trafficking, right? So you have to fight a lawsuit for me and send them to prison!â
âNo problem.â Mr Ji had the same intention. Hence, after hearing Gu Xiaoâs request, he agreed without any hesitation.
Because Gu Xiaoâs first request was too simple, Mr Ji heaved a sigh of relief and asked, âWhatâs the second request?â
Gu Xiao said, âActually, the second one is not a request. This is because Ji Yao made a bet with me. If my results in a single subject surpass hers, she will have to switch classes with me. In this midterm exam, other than the two subjects which she cheated in, Iâm higher than her in all of them, so please contact the school.â
When Mr Ji heard Gu Xiaoâs words, he had already frowned. After she finished speaking, he immediately said, âNo! The bet between you children doesnât count. Besides, the consequences are too serious!â
When Mr Ji was choosing a school for Ji Yao back then, he had already specially studied the different classes, so he knew very well that Gu Xiaoâs class was the worst in the school. If he really let Ji Yao go to this class, what would happen to the pride of the Ji family?
After hearing his words, Gu Xiao asked, âIs the consequences very serious? But if I didnât surpass her in any subject, I would have to drop out of school. In comparison, isnât it even more serious? Especially when I first arrived at school, my results werenât good. Moreover, Ji Yao was the one who took the initiative to talk to me about this bet. Speaking of which, if Ji Yao hadnât cheated, she might not have been able to surpass me in the other two subjects.â
After all, Ji Yao really dared to cheat and actually get full marks.
Mr Ji suddenly remembered that Ji Yao had told him that she had a bet with someone in school. Unsurprisingly, it should be with Gu Xiao, right?
The more Mr Ji thought about it, the more he felt that Ji Yao was a good-for-nothing. She had taken the initiative to make the bet and lost. She wanted to cheat but was discovered again!
Gu Xiao glanced at Mr Jiâs changing expressions and said casually, âSince you donât agree, we have nothing to say.â
After saying this, Gu Xiao acted like she was going to close the door.
However, just as she moved, she was stopped by Mr Ji. He made a difficult decision. âIâll contact the school now!â
When Gu Xiao and Ji Yao were compared, it was obvious whom he should choose. Comparatively speaking, Gu Xiao could bring him more benefits now.
Since Ji Yao was about to be abandoned, what did it matter if her circumstances was a little worse?
