Chapter 108: Fight
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Gu Xiao and Ji Chen were playing out a warm scene of kinship, while on the other side, Ji Yao looked at the fountain pen in Gu Xiao’s hand and gritted her teeth.
Gu Xiao did not know the value of this fountain pen, but she did.
Putting everything else aside, the value of this fountain pen alone had already exceeded 200,000 yuan. In addition, the production this kind of fountain pen was relatively limited back then. There were only about 100 of them in the world. It was even more difficult to buy this fountain pen now.
Back then, she had unintentionally seen this fountain pen and liked it very much. She begged Jiang He and Ji Gao to buy it for her, but she was scolded by Ji Gao.
Jiang He wanted to help her buy it, and found an owner, but the latter was unwilling to sell it.
She did not expect that she would see it as Ji Chen’s gift to Gu Xiao today.
Ji Yao looked at Gu Xiao with hatred in her eyes. When she saw Jiang He from the corner of her eye, Ji Yao quickly restrained her expression and said to Ji Chen, “Brother, do I have a reward?”
Hearing this, Gu Xiao and Ji Chen turned around and looked at Ji Yao.
Ji Chen frowned. “Xiaoxiao has been rewarded because of the improvement in her grades. Are you improving?”
Hearing Ji Chen’s words, Gu Xiao thought of Ji Yao’s regressed results and the corners of her lips curled up.
Ji Yao looked at Ji Chen pitifully. “But, but Brother has never given me a gift before. Besides, 1 really like that fountain pen.”
Gu Xiao gripped the pen in her hand tightly and looked at Ji Yao warily.
Ji Chen looked at Ji Yao disapprovingly. “That’s Xiaoxiao’s gift!”
“Ji Chen! Don’t forget that Yaoyao is also your sister! How can you be biased towards an outsider?! Where would that put Yaoyao?”
Jiang He saw Ji Yao’s aggrieved look and then looked at Ji Chen, who was standing beside Gu Xiao. Anger rose in her heart and she criticized Ji Chen without distinguishing between right and wrong.
Ji Chen quietly looked at Jiang He, who was sheltering Ji Yao behind her. “Gu Xiao is my biological sister.”
Moreover, Ji Yao had been worried that he would snatch Jiang He and Ji Gao’s care and attention since she was young. She had always been wary of him. Now, she wanted his care? How was that possible?
Even without Gu Xiao, it was impossible for him and Ji Yao to repair their relationship, let alone for him to bring Ji Yao any gifts.
Jiang He looked straight into Ji Chen’s dark eyes. Hearing his words, she looked away uncomfortably.
Of course, she knew that Gu Xiao was Ji Chen’s biological sister and her biological daughter, but this daughter had never stayed by her side for a single day. For the past 16 years, it was Ji Yao who had always been by her side.
Not to mention, because of Gu Xiao, her company was forced to go bankrupt.
As a result, whenever she met Zhao Hong, she would be mocked by her. And because of her bankruptcy, she had fallen from the highest level in the circle of wealthy ladies.
How could she not be filled with hatred!
“Mom, forget it. I don’t want a gift anymore. Don’t get into a conflict with my brother because of me. It’s all my fault. I was greedy and thought of asking my brother for a gift.”
Ji Yao said in a gentle and pitiful voice. She even stroked Jiang He’s back to stop her from getting angry.
Hearing Ji Yao’s words, the discomfort in Jiang He’s heart was instantly thrown to the back of her mind.
She straightened her back and faced Ji Chen. “It is your fault for forgetting to prepare a gift for Yaoyao! Can’t you care about Yaoyao? Yaoyao also wants your care!”
Ji Chen sneered and ignored Jiang He’s words.
He looked at Ji Yao, who was hiding behind Jiang He and constantly stoking her fury. He instantly felt disgusted.
He had long said that there was no benefit in Ji Yao staying at home. She would only turn the Ji family upside down.
However, neither Ji Gao nor Jiang He was willing to chase Ji Yao away.
“Mom, you’re wrong. What Ji Yao wants has never been my concern.”
With that, Ji Chen ignored Ji Yao and Jiang He and brought Gu Xiao upstairs.
Sensing Ji Chen’s cold attitude, Jiang He came back to her senses..
