Gu Xiao had originally thought that the banquet would be boring, but with Chu Wanshan and Wei Xuexi accompanying her, this was an unexpected gain.

Even Chu An was temporarily forgotten by Gu Xiao.

Whether it was in her previous life or in the ancient times, she did not seem to have any kinship. In this life, although she had gotten closer to Ji Chen by accident, Ji Chen had an aloof personality and usually did not give her any feeling of much closeness.

However, when she faced Chu Wanshan and Wei Xuexi, Gu Xiao truly felt what familial concern was like.

Gu Xiao naturally knew that Chu Wanshan was only doing this because of Chu An, but even so, she was already satisfied.

Hence, after the banquet ended, Gu Xiao was in a much better mood than when she came.

After returning to the Ji residence, Ji Gao called out to Gu Xiao, who was about to go upstairs.

“What did you talk to Mrs. Chu about today? What’s Mrs. Chu’s impression of you?”

Seeing Gu Xiao stop and look over, Ji Gao hurriedly asked.

If Gu Xiao was really liked by Mrs. Chu, then could he lend on the Chu family’s power to add to his grand ambitions and blueprint?

With this thought in mind, Ji Gao looked at Gu Xiao with an even more fervent gaze.

Jiang He pursed her lips and looked at Gu Xiao uneasily, afraid that she would get an affirmative answer from her. After all, she knew very well how she had bullied Gu Xiao. If Mrs. Chu really wanted to stand up for Gu Xiao, then she…

With this thought in mind, Jiang He’s expression turned even uglier.

Even Ji Yao, who was a little arrogant previously, was quiet and anxious, and did not dare to stand out, afraid of attracting Gu Xiao’s attention.

Gu Xiao held onto the railing of the staircase and turned around, sneering at Ji Gao.

“Do I have to report to you what I talked to Mrs. Chu about? Who are you to me?”

Ji Gao’s face turned cold because of Gu Xiao’s attitude. “I’m your father! Can’t I ask about these things?!”

“You’re just a biological father. Have you done anything that a father should do!” Gu Xiao mocked him mercilessly. There was only endless coldness in her eyes as she looked at Ji Gao.

Ji Gao hesitated for a moment because of Gu Xiao’s words and threatened, “Don’t forget that you’re living in our Ji Family now! If…”

Gu Xiao looked down at Ji Gao from above. She did not care about the threat in Ji Gao’s words at all.

She interrupted him and raised her chin slightly. “Why? Are you going to chase me out? I’m still underage. If you chase me out, can you bear the price again?”

Gu Xiao’s words immediately reminded Ji Gao and Jiang He of what had happened previously.

Ji Gao’s face darkened when he thought about what happened online when Gu Xiao left the Ji family and the turmoil it caused.

He did not forget how much he had sacrificed to let Gu Xiao return to the Ji family. If he chased Gu Xiao out again, then their Ji Group…

Seeing that Ji Gao had stopped talking, Gu Xiao sneered. “Is there anything else? If there’s nothing else, I’ll go upstairs and rest.”

No one present said anything. Only Ji Chen nodded slightly at Gu Xiao.

Gu Xiao’s eyes flashed and she turned to go upstairs.

After Gu Xiao’s figure had completely disappeared in front of everyone, Ji Chen said to Ji Gao, “Dad, the most important thing now is to take care of the Ji Group and make up for the losses the Ji Group has incurred previously. You shouldn’t think too much about other things.”

Not to mention, wanting to use Gu Xiao to target the Chu Group.

Hearing Ji Chen’s words, Ji Gao understood what he meant and waved Ji Chen away impatiently.

“Don’t worry. As long as we reach an agreement with the Li family, not only can the Ji Group make up for our previous losses, but it can also go up another level!” After saying that, he looked at Ji Yao. “What did Li Wen say?”

Ji Yao lowered her eyes and looked obedient.

“Don’t worry, Dad. There’s no problem with All Wen. He’s already convinced Uncle Li to agree to a cooperation.”

Hearing Ji Yao’s words, Ji Gao nodded in satisfaction. This was what the role of a daughter was supposed to be.

“As expected, our Yaoyao thinks of Daddy and can help him share his burdens..”
