Chu An’s gaze landed on Gu Xiao’s confident face, and the bit of guilt he felt from not being able to solve the problem was greatly reduced.
He tightened his grip on Gu Xiao’s waist. His nose was filled with Gu Xiao’s unique scent.
He rubbed his chin on Gu Xiao’s head and felt the ticklish sensation. Chu An’s lips curled up a little.
“Then I’ll listen to you. I won’t worry about it for the time being. If it’s really too messy in the future… I’ll pay to hire some ghostwriters as well!”
As the favored second young master of the Chu family, Chu An had never lacked money. No matter how expensive ghostwriters were, he could afford it!
Gu Xiao narrowed her eyes at hearing this and nodded.
“Then it’s settled.”
After the two of them agreed, neither of them paid any more attention to the news on Weibo.
As the promotion of The Return of the Crimson Child increased, more and more story segments were released, and The Return of the Crimson Child became more and more popular.
Under such circumstances, the television drama “The Return of the Crimson Child” was finally known to Ji Gao.
When Ji Gao searched for all the news about “The Return of the Crimson Child” and saw the extremely familiar scenes and plot, his expression became darker and darker.
If it was said that this television drama was not based on Gu Xiao and the Ji family, he would never believe it!
The matter of the real and fake daughter and her return to a wealthy family were all things that happened between Gu Xiao and the Ji family! If these things really spread… the consequences would be unimaginable!
As for him, he had only received the news after the filming of this television drama was completed. He could imagine that someone must be helping Gu Xiao deceive him!
Who exactly was this person? Other than Ji Chen, he could think of no one else!
Ji Gao looked at the audience’s expectant comments on Weibo and was so angry that he threw the phone in his hand.
Ignoring the broken phone, he angrily called the secretary’s office. “Get Ji Chen here!”
The secretary heard Ji Gao’s angry voice. Although he did not know what had happened, he could only answer “yes” carefully. After Ji Gao hung up the phone, he hurriedly went to look for Ji Chen.
Ji Chen looked at the secretary and heard the secretary’s hesitant words. Thinking of what had happened on Weibo recently, he had already guessed that Ji Gao would be looking for him.
He calmly followed behind the secretary and walked towards Ji Gao’s office.
The secretary thought of Ji Gao’s anger just now and did not dare to follow Ji Chen into the office. After opening the door for Ji Chen, he did not dare to go any further.
Ji Chen was not someone who would make things difficult for the secretary. He nodded at the secretary and asked him to leave.
Seeing this, the secretary thanked Ji Chen and left in a hurry.
Ji Chen sneered in his heart as he looked at the opened door of the office and walked in alone.
Just as he appeared in the office, something black flew towards him. He leaned aside slightly and dodged the flying object.
When that thing fell to the ground, Ji Chen saw that it was a bottle filled with ink.
At this moment, the glass bottle had already shattered. The black ink inside flowed out, dyeing the carpet black.
If he had not dodged just now, his forehead would probably have ended up just like the glass bottle holding the ink.
Ji Chen looked at the broken glass bottle on the ground. His eyes were dark and there seemed to be a hint of disappointment in them.
Even if Ji Gao’s current action was just due to anger, he had never thought about what would happen to him if he did not dodge it. Or rather, it was not important to Ji Gao.
“Look at what you’ve done behind my back!” There was no trace of regret or frustration in Ji Gao’s voice. There was only slow anger and scolding.
Ji Chen turned around and looked at Ji Gao, who was sitting behind the desk with a face full of anger. He looked calm, as if he was not the one who wore a complicated expression just now.
“Dad, what are you talking about? You haven’t been managing the Ji Group recently, so I’ve done a lot of things.”
Hearing this, Ji Gao’s eyes flickered and a trace of guilt flashed across his heart. After all, he could not let Ji Chen know what he had been doing recently.
Because of Ji Chen’s words, his imposing manner declined a little. But when he thought of the TV series that Gu Xiao had filmed, the anger rose in his heart again.
“Let’s not talk about anything else.. Let’s talk about Gu Xiao’s television drama, the one called ‘Crimson Child’ or something! Did you help her hide this behind my back and not let anyone inform me?”
