Ji Gao paused in his action of picking up food, then very naturally retracted his chopsticks.

He looked at Li Wen with confusion in his eyes. “Where did you hear that from? Yaoyao is our daughter. How could we send her away?”

Towards the end, there was a hint of anger in Ji Gao’s tone, as if he was very dissatisfied with the person who spread such rumors.

Gu Xiao looked at Ji Gao having his own words thrown back at him and laughed in her heart. However, the coldness in her eyes deepened.

Ji Gao was such a person. As long as it was profitable, he would not care about anything else. Not to mention, it was just a plan that had yet to be implemented.

As long as he could build a relationship with the Li family, Ji Yao would be useful. He would not give up on Ji Yao.

Gu Xiao clenched the chopsticks in her hand tightly, but she quickly relaxed and continued eating as if nothing had happened.

“Uncle, are you serious? I saw that everyone was saying that Yaoyao was leaving the Ji family. I was worried for a long time. If it’s true, then Yaoyao and I…”

“Wen, don’t listen to what those people outside are saying! They’re all jealous of our Yaoyao, so they fabricated such a lie. Wen, don’t take it to heart! Yaoyao is our baby. How can we send her away!”

Jiang He interrupted Li Wen and said firmly, as if she was never the one who wanted to send Ji Yao away.

She even looked at Ji Gao anxiously, wanting him to calm Li Wen down. She didn’t care what Gu Xiao, who was beside her, would think.

However… Gu Xiao was already used to Jiang He’s attitude.

She had experienced this too many times in her previous life.

“Of course it’s fake. We just want both Ah Wen and Yaoyao to be fine,” Ji Gao said calmly.

Li Wen nodded with a look of relief. Then, he said, “I heard that Yaoyao seems to have changed classes? But I remember that Yaoyao’s previous class was already the best. Why would Uncle want to change her class?”

Li Wen seemed to be asking a question, but he was also pressuring Ji Gao.

Of course, he knew why Ji Yao changed classes, but Ji Yao was his girlfriend. Since she had begged him, how could he not “get justice” for her?

When Ji Gao heard Li Wen’s words, his expression immediately became hesitant. Then, he told him about the bet between Gu Xiao and Ji Yao with a helpless expression.

He remembered clearly that Gu Xiao had threatened him back then. However, it seemed to be a good choice to use Li Wen to let Ji Yao return to her previous class.

A glint flashed across Ji Gao’s eyes.

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Wen looked at the silent Gu Xiao and said gently, “Miss Gu Xiao, right? I wonder if you can let Yaoyao return to her original class on my account? I really can’t bear to see Yaoyao stay in that inferior class.”

Gu Xiao knew that Ji Yao would not let her off easily. While Li Wen and Ji Gao were talking, she had already filled her stomach.

She wiped the corners of her mouth with a napkin, then looked up at Li Wen.

Looking at the gentleness displayed by the other party, she then glanced at Ji Yao, who looked like a despicable person who had achieved success, and smiled.

Just as Li Wen felt that there was a chance, he heard Gu Xiao’s cold voice.

“On your account? Why should I let Ji Yao return to her original class on your account? If I hadn’t won, I would have already dropped out of school. In that case, what’s wrong with Ji Yao staying in her current class?”

Previously, Li Wen relied on his status as the heir of the Li family. Everyone around him was respectful to him and listened to his orders.

Now that Gu Xiao had shown him no mercy, his expression darkened. The gentleness in his eyes could no longer be maintained.

“Do you know who I am? How dare you speak to me like that!” Li Wen’s voice was filled with displeasure.

Gu Xiao blinked curiously and looked innocent. “You don’t even know who you are? And you still want to ask me?”

Seeing that Li Wen’s expression was getting darker and darker, Ji Gao could no longer stand by and do nothing. He did not want to really offend the Li family.

“Xiaoxiao! What are you talking about? Apologize to Ah Wen now!”
