Chapter 87: Agreement
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Gu Xiao crossed her arms and leaned back slightly. She looked into Ji Gao’s eyes without any fear or evasion.
“Apologize?” Gu Xiao repeated, then sneered. “Did I say anything wrong? Since
I didn’t do anything wrong, why should I apologize?”
There wasn’t much emotion in her words, but her cold expression made Ji Gao afraid to move.
He knew what kind of person Gu Xiao was. If he really angered Gu Xiao and she went crazy, they would not have a good ending. Especially how Gu Xiao threatened him previously, he did not forget about that.
He looked at Gu Xiao darkly, but Gu Xiao did not care at all.
She stood up and looked at the few people present. Then, she smiled.
“I’m full, so I won’t stay here.” Seeing Ji Yao biting her lips unwillingly, a trace of joy flashed across Gu Xiao’s heart. “As for Ji Yao’s matter, we’ll do as we agreed previously. I don’t want to see any changes.”
With that, Gu Xiao retracted her domineering aura and nodded at Ji Gao before walking upstairs.
As for downstairs… she didn’t care as long as they didn’t completely fall out.
When Gu Xiao’s figure completely disappeared from everyone’s sight, Jiang He said, “Just look at her! This is the good daughter you want to bring back! Look at this good daughter of yours. Does she even care about us?!”
Whenever Jiang He thought of Gu Xiao’s attitude towards her and the company that was on the verge of collapse because of Gu Xiao, she wished that Gu Xiao had never appeared.
She even wondered why Gu Xiao didn’t die in that village!
Since she was taken away, why did she come back?!
At this moment, Jiang He had completely forgotten that the person who caused Gu Xiao to appear in the public eye was her most beloved daughter, Ji Yao.
Ji Yao was biting her lower lip with an aggrieved expression. Her dependent gaze landed on Li Wen.
Li Wen liked Ji Yao and was chauvinistic. Seeing Ji Yao looking at him like this, he immediately felt proud and wanted to resolve the matter that Ji Yao had asked him to do.
“Uncle Ji, you told me before that Yaoyao didn’t suffer any grievances at home… but that Gu Xiao’s attitude just now wasn’t what you said.” Li Wen deliberately dragged out his words, his words carrying a hint of threat.
As the heir of the Li family, the people around him had always been orbiting around him. No one dared to go against his wishes.
Hence, he became more and more dissatisfied with Gu Xiao’s attitude.
If he could not teach Gu Xiao a lesson, where would he put his face as the heir of the Li family?!
“Ah Wen, it’s all my fault. If I hadn’t made a bet with Xiaoxiao to encourage her to improve, things wouldn’t be like this now. Why don’t I just go to that inferior class? I’m fine.”
When Li Wen heard Ji Yao’s weak words filled with consideration for him, he disliked Gu Xiao even more.
He looked at Ji Gao suspiciously. “Uncle Ji, are you really unwilling to interfere in Yaoyao’s matters?”
Jiang He was anxious, but it was not appropriate for her to interrupt.She could only keep sending signals to Ji Gao.
Ji Gao was silent for a while. He thought about the Li family’s business. If he could join forces with the Li family, wouldn’t his goal… be easier to achieve?
Compared to his goal, Gu Xiao’s threat was nothing.
After thinking it through, Ji Gao gave Li Wen a gentle smile.
“Yaoyao is my daughter. How can I really not care about Yaoyao? After this, I’ll tell the principal to let Yaoyao return to class.”
Upon hearing Ji Gao’s words, Li Wen’s eyes were filled with satisfaction. Then, in front of Ji Gao and Jiang He, he approached Ji Yao and whispered something in her ear.
Ji Yao blushed. “I naturally know that Ah Wen cares about me the most. I also care about Ah Wen the most.”
“These two children have such a good relationship. I’m a little envious of them,” Jiang He teased when she saw their interaction.
Although Ji Gao didn’t say anything, he was very satisfied with Li Wen and Ji Yao’s relationship.
Ji Yao looked at Jiang He in embarrassment and called out softly, “Mom..”
