After the initial pain, Gu Xiao also reacted. When Chu An was picking at her hand, she also went along with the other party’s strength and lowered her hand.

“It should be fine. I can’t even feel the pain now.” Gu Xiao saw Chu An’s anxious expression and couldn’t help but comfort him.

However, Chu An wasn’t at ease because of Gu Xiao’s words. He looked at Gu Xiao’s reddened forehead and felt a little vexed that he didn’t raise his head more slowly.

His eyes were filled with worry as he looked at Gu Xiao. “Xiaoxiao, sit here for a while. I’ll prepare a hot towel.”

As he spoke, he stood up and planned to walk towards the kitchen.

However, he had just taken a step when Gu Xiao grabbed his wrist and stopped him.

“Forget it, it’s not a serious injury. There’s no need to trouble yourself with these things. Sit down, 1’11 take a look at you too.”

Chu An looked at Gu Xiao and didn’t move for a moment. It was only after Gu Xiao pinched his wrist that he sat back down.

With a look from Gu Xiao, he lowered his head slightly, exposing the top of his head that had just been knocked in front of Gu Xiao.

Gu Xiao reached out and rubbed Chu An’s head. She looked sideways at the other party and asked, “Do you feel pain when 1 do this?”

Chu An shook his head and grabbed Gu Xiao’s hand. He placed it in his palm and squeezed it.

“I’m fine too. You don’t have to worry.”

Gu Xiao seriously confirmed Chu An’s expression. After confirming that the other party wasn’t lying, she immediately changed the topic and didn’t continue the topic just now.

“What were you looking at just now? Let me take a look too?”

Hearing Gu Xiao’s question again, Chu An remembered the news he had just seen.

He took back the phone that he had thrown aside. After unlocking it, it was the same page he had looked at previously.

He handed the phone to Gu Xiao. “I don’t know who posted last night’s video online. Now, there’s a lot of scolding on the Internet about Ji Gao. When Chen Li’s video comes out later, I’m afraid there will be another commotion.”

Actually, they all knew that even if this video and Chen Li’s videos were added together, they would not be able to convict Ji Gao. However, they already felt that it was not bad for the truth to be announced and for Ji Gao to be infamous.

After all, there were some things that could not be atoned for by going to jail.

They hoped even more that Ji Gao would receive more punishment.

Gu Xiao took the phone and saw the insults and curses directed at Ji Gao. The corners of her lips curled up slightly.

She looked at the netizens’ opinions on this matter seriously for a while before returning the phone to Chu An.

“Since this matter has already been exposed, we can post the video about Chen Li when the popularity is higher or gradually fades.”

At that time, the matter of Ji Gao deliberately swapping his biological daughter was not over yet. If Chen Li’s matter was exposed, the Ji Group and Ji Gao would have to suffer double the punishment.

The other option was that after the Ji Group and Ji Gao settled this matter, Chen Li’s video would appear. That would cause trouble for the Ji Group and Ji Gao again.

No matter which method it was, it was not bad.

With this thought in mind, the smile on Gu Xiao’s lips widened a little. Chu An looked at the current Gu Xiao, and the expression in his eyes gradually darkened.

However, when he thought about how the time was not right, he could only sigh softly and retract the thoughts that could not be spoken in his mind.

At this moment, the Ji Group was in chaos just as Gu Xiao had expected.

After all, the truth about Gu Xiao’s swap was all over the Internet, so the people in the Ji Group naturally could see it.

In fact, when they saw Ji Chen leaving and Ji Gao returning to the Ji Group, the expression on their faces became even stranger.

However, because of Ji Gao’s identity and his previous control of the Ji Group, other than those who really did not want to work for the Ji Group, they did not dare to say anything else.

At this age, there was really no one who dared to resign without anything to fall back on. After all, there were old and young people in their families, and they all needed this salary to support their livelihoods.

However, they didn’t dare to say anything on the surface, but they couldn’t control what they were thinking.

Everyone had the ability to recognize the truth and facts, so they naturally knew what that video represented. Even if they were Ji Group and Ji Gao’s employees, they did not agree with Ji Gao’s actions.

Working under Ji Gao made them feel a little uncomfortable..
