The more irritable Jiang He was, the happier Gu Xiao was.
As for the nasty words coming out of Jiang Heâs mouth, she was already used to it and did not care.
With this thought in mind, Gu Xiao laughed in front of Jiang He. âIâve already told you not to do anything unnecessary. Youâre just paying for the stupid things youâve done.â
The undisguised mockery in Gu Xiaoâs eyes directly hit the nerve in Jiang Heâs mind.
Before Gu Xiao came back, everything had been going smoothly for her. When had she ever suffered such grievances? Jiang He looked at Gu Xiaoâs face and felt even more disgusted. In a fit of anger, she raised her hand and wanted to slap Gu Xiao.
When Ji Yao saw this, excitement flashed across her eyes. She could not wait to see Gu Xiao being beaten to the ground.
Gu Xiaoâs eyes darkened as she looked at Jiang Heâs descending hand. Just as she was about to dodge, a pair of big hands grabbed Jiang Heâs arm and stopped her from doing anything else.
Gu Xiao looked up and saw Ji Chen who had appeared in front of her.
âMom, what are you making a scene about now?â
Jiang He was held by Ji Chenâs hand and could not move. Her anger had not subsided to begin with. Hearing Ji Chenâs words, her anger increased even more.
She glared at Ji Chen. âYou are saying that I am making a scene? This evil person is going to bankrupt me and you are still saying that I am making a scene? Is this my fault?!â
Hearing this, Ji Chenâs gaze fell on the calm Gu Xiao. The two of them looked at each other before he looked away and looked at Ji Yao.
Ji Yao noticed Ji Chenâs gaze and shrank back instantly. She was no longer as arrogant as before.
Ji Chen looked down on Ji Yao and looked at Jiang He again.
âI told you long ago not to interfere in Ji Yaoâs matters. The online condemnation of Ji Yao has never ended. Itâs just that you canât see it, Mom. Nowâ¦â
Jiang He broke free from Ji Chenâs hand and was very dissatisfied with Ji Chenâs words. She interrupted him directly. âAre you my son or not? How dare you say such things to me? Itâs fine if you donât help me save the company, but do you still want to help Gu Xiao clear her name?!â
Seeing Jiang Heâs attitude, Ji Chen rubbed his temples.
âYou canâtâ¦â
âAlright, 1 wonât talk to you anymore! I donât have a son like you!â
Jiang He said angrily and left with Ji Yao.
After being interrupted by Ji Chen, she temporarily forgot about finding trouble with Gu Xiao.
The two of them walked further and further away. Gu Xiao could still vaguely hear Ji Yao comforting Jiang He, but she could roughly guess how she persuaded her.
Gu Xiao was not interested in Jiang He and Ji Yao. Her gaze landed on Ji Chen.
She paused for a moment before saying, âWhy, why are you helping me?â
Hearing this, Ji Chen threw a strange look at Gu Xiao.
âIâm just tolling the truth. Besides, youâre my sister after all. I naturally have to help you when I see that you are in trouble.â
Ji Chen seemed to think that it was true. There was a sense of rightness in his words, without any concealment.
After he finished speaking, he glanced in the direction where Jiang He and Ji Yao had left. âDonât go downstairs to eat today. Iâll get the servants to send the food up to you.â
If Jiang He saw Gu Xiao again today, it would probably be another farce. It was better not to let the two of them meet.
Having said the words, Ji Chen did not care about Gu Xiaoâs reaction. He simply turned around and walked upstairs to his room.
Gu Xiao stood at the same spot and as she watched Ji Chen leave, she lowered her head.
In her previous life, her relationship with Ji Yao was completely advantageous to Ji Yao, and so many things had never happened in the Ji Group either. Ji Chen was busy with his own company, so he naturally would not specially return to the Ji family.
She had only met Ji Chen a few times, so she already felt warm when Ji Chen did not step on her.
But hearing Ji Chenâs words, Gu Xiao could not help but wonder what would happen if Ji Chen told her these words in her previous life.
She probably wouldnât have ended up like thatâ¦
