When Jiang He called Ji Chen, she was afraid that the other party would not want to come back, so she directly threatened him.

She was his mother after all. Even if Ji Chen was annoyed, he could only do as she said. But there was no need for him to tell Gu Xiao about this.

On the other hand, Gu Xiao’s eyes darkened like ink spreading out in her eyeswhen she heard Ji Chen say “grandpa”.

In her previous life, this old man did not treat her very well.

Gu Xiao couldn’t help but feel angry and sad at the same time when she thought of everything that happened in her previous life.

But when Ji Chen looked at her in confusion, Gu Xiao had already restrained all her emotions.

“What kind of person is Grandpa?” Gu Xiao pretended to be curious and asked Ji Chen.

Hearing this, Ji Chen thought of Old Master Ji’s bias towards girls and preference for boys as well as his harsh criticism of Ji Yao. He pursed his lips tightly.

When he met Gu Xiao’s gaze, Ji Chen said hesitantly, “Let’s go to grandpa’s house. Xiaoxiao can just follow behind me. If grandpa is in the wrong… you don’t have to be too tolerant.”

Gu Xiao nodded obediently when she heard this.

“I understand, Brother. Then I’ll go back to my room first. I still have to do the papers assigned by the teacher.”

Ji Chen did not stop her. It was a good thing that Gu Xiao loved to study.

He watched as Gu Xiao slowly went upstairs before retracting his gaze and immersing himself in his own matters again.

Gu Xiao’s expression darkened the moment she turned around.

In her previous life, when she returned to the Ji family, she was also brought to see Old Master Ji.

Before she met Old Master Ji, she still had a trace of hope that he would like her. Therefore, when she first met him, she wanted to take the initiative to express her goodwill and appear more obedient.

However, the moment Old Master Ji saw her, he did not hide the disdain in his eyes and was unwilling to even look at her.

He even said that it was not bad for her to die outside. She did not have to return to the Ji family and occupy the Ji family’s resources. In fact, she was not even worthy of getting a marriage alliance. She even made others laugh at the family for no reason.

Old Master Ji had said too many heart-wrenching words. Later on, she even felt as if she had completely lost consciousness. Her entire body was floating in midair, and she did not know what the other party was saying at all.

However, looking at Old Master Ji’s expression, she could guess that what he said was probably not a good thing.

Gu Xiao closed her eyes slightly. When she opened them again, her eyes had returned to normal.

Her previous life was already over. This time, she wanted to see how Old Master Ji would treat her.

The corners of Gu Xiao’s lips curled up into a mocking smile.

The next morning, the Ji family prepared early and rushed to the Ji family’s old residence.

As soon as she entered the old residence, Ji Yao followed Jiang He’s instructions and hid behind her.

When Gu Xiao saw this, she sneered in her heart with a hint of disdain in her eyes. It seemed that Ji Yao was only at this level.

Gu Xiao walked beside Ji Gao unhurriedly. After entering the old residence, when she saw that the old man sitting on the sofa with a serious expression, she was not flustered at all.

On the other hand, when Ji Yao sensed the old man’s gaze, she stuffed herself behind Jiang He’s back, as if she wished that the other party could not see her.

The old man held a walking stick in his hand and raised his eyelids slightly when he heard footsteps.

“You’re here.” A dull voice came from the old man’s mouth.

Ji Gao smiled obsequiously at the old man and nodded.

“That’s right, Dad. He’er and I heard that you were back, so we thought of coming over to see you.”

Hearing Ji Gao’s words, Old Master Ji nodded lightly and did not continue to pay attention to him. Instead, he waved at Ji Chen kindly.

“Chenchen, come over and let Grandpa take a look. Grandpa hasn’t seen you in a long time. i miss you.”

Ji Chen seemed to be used to Old Master Ji’s reaction. He nodded at Ji Gao and walked towards Old Master Ji.

Seeing how concerned Old Master Ji was towards Ji Chen, a trace of resentment flashed across Ji Gao’s eyes.

Old Master Ji was always like this.. He valued his grandson, Ji Chen, more than his son! If it was not for the fact that Ji Chen was still too young, then he…
