When Ji Gao heard this, he looked a little troubled.

However, before Ji Gao could say anything, Jiang He, who was waiting for an opportunity, immediately stepped forward. She pretended to defend Gu Xiao and said, “Dad, don’t be angry. This isn’t my husband’s fault. After all, Xiaoxiao has lived outside for 16 years. It’s normal for her to want to keep the surname Gu. It’s just that my husband’s heart aches for Xiaoxiao, so he didn’t ask her to change it.”

Jiang He knew Old Master Ji very well.

Although Old Master Ji favored boys over girls and didn’t like girls at all, in Old Master Ji’s heart, as long as it was the Ji family’s bloodline, it should be given the Ji family’s surname, even if it was a girl he didn’t like. If this useless girl wasn’t given the Ji family’s surname, then Old Master Ji would be so angry that he would stomp his feet as if his pride had been ruthlessly stepped on.

Old Master Ji glanced at Jiang He with an unreadable expression.

“I also know what happened between you and this wild girl. You’re extremely stupid! Instead of helping your biological daughter, you’re helping the daughter of human traffickers. You’re also brainless!”

Jiang He’s face stiffened at Old Master Ji’s words, but she did not dare to be angry or say anything. Her lips moved a few times, but she did not say anything.

Then, Old Master Ji looked at Ji Yao. “Our Ji family doesn’t care about raising one more, but 1 don’t want to see any commotion in the Ji family. If you’re still restless, don’t blame me for being harsh!”

Ji Yao shuddered and did not dare to look at Old Master Ji again.

“Ji Gao, look at what you’ve done. It’s fine if you brought her back, but you didn’t even change her name! Why? Do you feel proud that your biological daughter has the surname of a human trafficker?! Think about how those people will laugh at you behind your back! She’s just a little girl. If she doesn’t want to change it, can’t you force her to change it?!”

There was a smile in Gu Xiao’s eyes. “Grandpa, you don’t have to say that. After all, if he really dares to forcefully change my name, the Ji family will probably be in turmoil again.”

Old Master Ji suddenly looked at Gu Xiao. He could hear the hidden threat in her words.

He slammed his walking stick on the ground. “Since you don’t want to have the surname Ji, get out of the Ji family’s door! Our Ji family can’t allow a girl who doesn’t have the surname Ji to stay in the Ji family!”

When Gu Xiao heard this, she raised her eyebrows. “Grandpa, if I change my surname to Ji, will I get a share of the Ji Group’s shares and assets?”

“Don’t even think about it! The Ji family can only let you stay in the Ji family. If you want anything else, even if 1 die, you won’t get a single cent!”

Gu Xiao looked puzzled. “If there aren’t any shares and assets, what’s the use of this surname?”

After she finished speaking, she slightly distanced herself from Old Master Ji.

“To be honest, 1 really don’t like your surname Ji! Only an old thing like you would hug this surname Ji tightly and not let go, treating this surname Ji as a treasure!”

Old Master Ji glared at Gu Xiao angrily. “Get lost! Get out of the Ji Family!”

Without the Ji family, he wanted to see how Gu Xiao, this wild girl, would dare to talk to him like this!

Gu Xiao shrugged nonchalantly. “Old people have bad memory. I just said that you have no right to chase me away. Why can’t Grandpa remember it?”

After saying that, Gu Xiao looked at Old Master Ji’s chest heaving up and down. She sat down at the side and spoke again.

“Old Master, you have to admit that you’re old. You can’t be too angry. Otherwise, you’ll easily have a stroke. After that, you can only stay paralyzed in bed.”

After saying that, she even gave Old Master Ji a friendly smile, as if she was really just reminding him.

Old Master Ji pointed a trembling finger at Gu Xiao. How was this concern? She was clearly cursing him!

“You, you…” Before Old Master Ji could finish speaking, his eyes rolled back and he fainted.

When the people in the room saw this scene, they immediately panicked.

Ji Gao and Jiang He hurriedly rushed in front of Old Master Ji. When they passed by Gu Xiao, Jiang He secretly glanced at Gu Xiao.

To be honest, she did have the intention of using Old Master Ji to chase Gu Xiao out. However, she did not expect that before she could do anything, Gu Xiao had already made Old Master Ji faint from anger.

Jiang He could not help but feel proud. Even if Ji Chen was protecting her, Gu Xiao had offended Old Master Ji!

Gu Xiao’s good days were coming to an end!
