Jiang He looked at the people that gathered around Old Master Ji, using all kinds of first aid methods. She took the time to turn around and glare angrily at Gu Xiao.

“Gu Xiao, you jinx! If anything happens to the old master this time, I will definitely get you out of the Ji family and send you to prison!”

After Jiang He finished speaking fiercely to Gu Xiao, she turned around and looked worriedly at Old Master Ji, who had already fainted.

When Ji Yao saw this, she suppressed the smile on her lips. Whether it was because Gu Xiao was ostracized by Old Master Ji or because Old Master Ji fainted from anger, it made her feel happy. However, she could not show it at a time like this. She could only try her best to suppress the true emotions in her heart.

Gu Xiao did not care about Jiang He’s harsh words at all. She even rolled her eyes openly.

She sat steadily at the side, as if the chaotic scene in front of her did not affect her much.

Only when Ji Chen looked up at him did Gu Xiao restrain herself a little and look back at him quietly.

She did not feel guilty at all for making Old Master Ji faint from anger. In fact, she felt that this was what she really wanted to see.

But Ji Chen was different.

Old Master Ji was Ji Chen’s grandfather after all. She did not know what Ji Chen would think of her actions this time. She did not care about the rest of the Ji Family, but she did care about Ji Chen’s reaction.

Ji Chen raised his eyebrows slightly at her and looked at her with a comforting look, without a trace of blame in his expression.

After understanding Ji Chen’s attitude, Gu Xiao was completely relieved.

The meeting with Old Master Ji also came to a rushed end because of this farce.

Ji Gao and Jiang He stayed in the old residence to take care of Old Master Ji while Ji Chen brought Gu Xiao and Ji Yao back to the Ji residence.

Ji Yao knew that with only Ji Chen and Gu Xiao around, she could not say or do anything, so she walked to her room.

Seeing this, the surrounding servants looked at each other and left the living room at Ji Chen’s signal.

“Brother, would you…” Gu Xiao’s thumbs and index fingers kept rubbing together at either side of her, telling him that she was not calm at the moment.

Ji Chen knew what Gu Xiao wanted to say. Before she could finish, he raised his hand and rubbed Gu Xiao’s head.

“I know that although you’re stubborn, you won’t do anything overboard. This time… Grandfather’s words were a little too much. Don’t take it to heart. As for Grandfather, I’ll negotiate with him about the Ji Group’s shares…”

“I don’t want Ji Group’s shares! I’ve never wanted those things!”

Gu Xiao was worried that Ji Chen would misunderstand that what she did today was for the shares of Ji Group, so she quickly denied it.

She had never been greedy for these things.

In her previous life, she only wanted the Ji Family’s care and kinship. In this life, she only wanted to take revenge for the grievances she had suffered in her previous life and leave the Ji Family so she could live alone.

The mention of shares in front of Old Master Ji was just a test, or rather, a deliberate attempt to provoke Old Master Ji.

Ji Chen looked at Gu Xiao’s slightly anxious eyes. He knew what Gu Xiao was trying to say and his cold heart melted.

To be honest, it was impossible for him to have any affection for this sister who had suddenly appeared. It was just that when he first saw Gu Xiao and realized that she had a completely different personality from Ji Yao, he wanted to understand her. In addition, after what happened to the Ji Yao, he had met Gu Xiao many times and saw her true situation in the Ji family, so he wanted to protect her.

However, he did not expect her to trust him immediately after he expressed his goodwill, when she clearly kept her guard up against everything and everyone around her.

Ji Chen rubbed Gu Xiao’s head again, messing up her hair. Seeing Gu Xiao’s confused look, he finally chuckled.

“Xiaoxiao, you don’t have to explain. I understand what you mean.”

Ji Chen said with a smile in his tone, “But I am afraid that this matter will not end peacefully.”

Gu Xiao also wanted to touch her own head. After all, Ji Chen seemed to like to touch her head very much.

However, after hearing Ji Chen’s words, Gu Xiao put away her previous thoughts and looked indifferent.

“I’m not worried about what they want to do..” She feared nothing!
