President Zhang returned to Ji Gao’s side and roughly recounted what Chu Baiyuan had said just now. Then, he also said a few words about his guess.

After saying that, he looked at Ji Gao. “Then what do you plan to do?”

When Ji Gao heard this, he pretended to be in a difficult position and sighed.

“Looks like I can only remind Xiaoxiao not to get too close to Second Young Master Chu. Otherwise, our Xiaoxiao will be the one injured.”

CEO Zhang did not expect Ji Gao to be so considerate of a daughter he had just acknowledged. The way he looked at Ji Gao instantly changed.

“Sigh, this is how a father is. He has to worry about his children. That is why I say that children are creditors that are here to claim debts! But your Ji Chen is not bad. I heard that his own company is already doing very well?”

Ji Gao nodded in agreement from time to time as he listened to President Zhang.

However, when he heard what CEO Zhang said about Ji Chen, his face darkened for a moment. Before CEO Zhang could react, he had already restrained himself.

“Chenchen has always been more hardworking, so I don’t have to worry too much.”

After Ji Gao returned from the banquet, he did not chase Gu Xiao out of the house immediately.

After all, it was really unreasonable to chase her out right after confirming the Chu family’s attitude. He could only find another time.

Before Ji Gao could think of a way to chase Gu Xiao out of the Ji family, Ji Chen suddenly evaded everyone in the Ji family and secretly found Gu Xiao.

Gu Xiao looked at Ji Chen who suddenly appeared in front of her and felt a little confused.

“Brother, are you looking for me?”

Ji Chen nodded. He glanced at the corridor from the corner of his eyes and then at the room behind Gu Xiao. He said to Gu Xiao, “Can 1 go in?”

Gu Xiao nodded and quickly moved aside.

Ji Chen nodded at Gu Xiao and walked in.

Gu Xiao looked at Ji Chen’s back and thought for a while. Then she reached out and closed the door.

Seeing Ji Chen sitting down, Gu Xiao did not ask further but sat down with him.

“Xiaoxiao, do you know that Mom and Ji Yao have been thinking of letting you leave the Ji family recently?”

Gu Xiao did not expect that Ji Chen came to look for her for this matter. She nodded. “I know. It should be Jiang He and Ji Yao’s idea to see Grandpa some time ago.”

Hearing Gu Xiao’s words, Ji Chen did not know whether to heave a sigh of relief or do something else.

His hands on his knees clenched slightly for a moment. He adjusted his sitting posture and continued, “What would you say if 1 ask you to agree when they mention this again?”

Ji Chen’s eyes fell on Gu Xiao, but when he met Gu Xiao’s eyes, he looked away slightly and then lowered his eyes.

He did not know if this was the right thing to do, but the only thing he could think of now was to let Gu Xiao leave the Ji family temporarily.

If he found out in the end that it was just a false alarm, he would think of a way to make it up to Gu Xiao. But if not… it would be better for Gu Xiao.

However, he did not know what Gu Xiao would think of his suggestion.

“Okay! 1 got it.” Gu Xiao’s light voice rang in Ji Chen’s ears.

Hearing this, Ji Chen opened his eyes and looked at Gu Xiao.

There was no hesitation in Gu Xiao’s bright eyes, nor was there any gloominess. It was as if no matter what request he made, the other party would agree readily.

Ji Chen suddenly felt an indescribable feeling in his heart. He was a little happy, but more than that, he felt the warmth of being trusted. This was a feeling that he had rarely experienced in the Ji family.

“Aren’t you going to ask me again? Or are you not worried that I am harming you by doing this?” Ji Chen’s voice seemed to have a trace of hoarseness. It was very light, making people wonder if they had heard wrongly.

Gu Xiao shook her head slowly.

From the moment she saw Ji Chen, her body had been relaxed. Even when she heard Ji Chen’s words, her body did not tense up for a moment.

It was just like she really trusted Ji Chen unconditionally.

“Since Brother can say such things, you must have thought about it carefully and this does not have any harm to me.. Since that’s the case, why should I refute you?”
