When Jiang He heard that Ji Gao’s last sentence about how she would not be mocked, she hesitated.
After all, Jiang He didn’t even want to imagine herself being mocked by Zhao Hong.
Jiang He and Zhao Hong grew up in the same courtyard. The two of them had been the kind of children that other parents envied, but there was also a comparison between outstanding people.
Hence, Jiang He and Zhao Hong had been comparing their grades from school until they started a company after graduation. In fact, both of them focused on similar products.
This time, because of the online turmoil, the company had been affected and Zhao Hong had already received a lot of benefits. It was precisely because of this that Jiang He could feel the smugness in Zhao Hong’s eyes every time she saw her.
Jiang He felt that if she really went bankrupt, Zhao Hong would definitely step on her.
Hence, Jiang He had slight desire to retreat from her original decision. She said softly, “Let me think about it.”
Ji Yao, who was outside the door, heard the conversation inside. When she heard Jiang He’s words, her face darkened and hatred arose in her heart.
Ji Yao knew that she would be abandoned by Jiang He sooner or later since she was not her biological daughter. Previously, she clearly said that she would not let her leave, but now, she went back on her word.
Ji Yao’s eyes were filled with hatred as she stared at Jiang He before turning to leave.
During this period of time, Gu Xiao went to and from school as usual. Other than the pitying looks from the people around her, there was nothing else unusual.
“Xiaoxiao, when are you going to fulfill the five kisses you promised me?” Chu An leaned closer to Gu Xiao and asked with sparkling eyes.
Gu Xiao pushed away Chu An’s expectant face and looked at the book. She said seriously, “When we’re at home in the future. We can’t do it in school anyway. This is a place to study.”
“Alright.” After hearing this, Chu An could only agree in a low voice. Then, he looked at Gu Xiao and asked with concern, “Xiaoxiao, did anyone bully you in the Ji family? If anyone did, you must tell me. I’ll help you deal with them!”
When Chu An said “deal with them,” a fierce look appeared in his eyes, and he had the demeanor of a great general.
Gu Xiao gently patted Chu An, indicating for him to pay attention to the venue. After all, he was also someone who had been on the battlefield. Everyone in the class could feel the aura he exuded, and they were even trembling in fear. They looked up at him and in less than a second, lowered their heads in fear.
After seeing Chu An obediently retract his imposing manner, Gu Xiao also said, “Don’t worry about me. After all, don’t forget that I was once an empress and experienced so many difficulties. So how can Ji Gao and the others hurt me?”
Hearing Gu Xiao’s words, Chu An felt much more at ease.
When Gu Xiao returned home today, she felt that there was something unusual about the house, especially since Ji Yao actually had the courage to look at her today. At the same time, there was a hint of smugness in her eyes.
When she walked into the villa, she saw that there was a boy inside.
Gu Xiao recognized him at a glance. This boy’s name was Li Wen. He was the heir of the Li family and the person Ji Yao liked.
In her previous life, Ji Yao and Li Wen got married successfully after receiving the consent of their parents.
However, Ji Yao was still especially doted on back then. She did not have the encounter in this life and was considered an equal match with Li Wen. However, after such a huge change in this life, could it still be the same as in her previous life?
At the thought of this, Gu Xiao’s heart was filled with anticipation.
Ji Yao held Li Wen’s hand and said softly to Ji Gao and Jiang He, “Dad, Mom, Li Wen and I have been together for a few months. It’s not that we want to hide it, but I just feel that our relationship is a little immature. However, I’ve been thinking about it recently and feel that it’s necessary to reveal our relationship.”
When she heard this news, Jiang He was the happiest. If Ji Yao and Li Wen were together, Ji Gao would change his mind and no longer want to send Yaoyao away.
Ji Gao’s thoughts were indeed especially active at this moment. He was thinking about how much benefits Ji Yao and Li Wen would bring him if they got married in the future.
When Ji Yao and Jiang He were alone, she said, “Mom, Li Wen just said that he would go home and convince his parents to help solve the company’s problem.”
When Jiang He heard this news, her eyes turned red.. She asked in disbelief, “Really?”
