Jiang Meng and Wei Shu were stunned for a moment when they saw Gu Xiao’s reaction.
After all, judging from Gu Xiao’s expression, it didn’t seem like she was going to let Huang Tu off easily.
However, since Gu Xiao had asked, Jiang Meng looked at Gu Xiao very seriously. “There’s no news on the Internet at all, so we feel that Star Brilliance probably didn’t counterattack Huang Tu.”
Wei Shu also nodded in agreement.
Gu Xiao looked at the two of them and recalled the message that Tian Xian had just sent. The corners of her lips curled up slightly.
She reached out and rubbed Jiang Meng’s head, who was closer to her. “Don’t worry, our Star Brilliance won’t suffer a loss.” And with this lesson, Huang Tu should be able to settle down for a period of time.
Although Jiang Meng and Wei Shu were a little curious about what Gu Xiao or Star Brilliance had done to Huang Tu, they also knew that these things were usually business secrets and it was not appropriate to ask too much.
They just had to know that Gu Xiao was not bullied.
The news of Huang Tu’s defeat in the confrontation with Star Brilliance quickly reached Ji Gao’s ears. Just as he was about to call the directors of Huang Tu to ask what was going on, he received a call from Old Master Ji first.
Looking at the word “Dad” on the phone screen, Ji Gao thought of Huang Tu and felt a chill in his heart. He even wanted to throw the phone away and pretend that he did not see this call.
The phone kept ringing in Ji Gao’s room, as if as long as he didn’t answer the call, the other party wouldn’t let it go.
Ji Gao stared at the phone that kept ringing. He felt that time was pulled infinitely apart and slowed down.
There was a trace of fear in his eyes that he didn’t even notice. He picked up the phone on the second ring.
“Hello, Dad, the reason for this call is…”
“Come to the old residence.”
Before Ji Gao could finish speaking, Old Master Ji interrupted him coldly. Without even waiting for Ji Gao’s reply, he hung up the phone again, as if he was certain that Ji Gao would not dare to resist.
Ji Gao’s eyes turned completely cold when he heard the cold beeping sound.
Without the pressure from Old Master Ji, a trace of anger flashed across Ji Gao’s eyes.
He glared at his phone fiercely, as if he was glaring at the person who had just called.
Perhaps it was because of what happened to Ji Chen previously, but Old Master Ji’s desire to control certain things became stronger and stronger, making Ji Gao extremely annoyed, but he did not dare to say anything.
Just like now, Ji Gao really wanted to directly reject Old Master Ji’s order and not go to the Ji family’s old residence.
However, after pondering for a few seconds, he still took his coat, got into the car, and instructed the driver to drive to the Ji family’s old residence.
Perhaps it was because Old Master Ji took the initiative to call Ji Gao over this time, so when Ji Gao arrived at the Ji family’s old residence, Old Master Ji was already sitting on the sofa in the living room.
Old Master Ji casually placed one hand on the sofa and the other on the top of his cane. His eyes were slightly closed, as if he was really taking a nap. However, the aura around him made Ji Gao know that things would probably not end well today.
Ji Gao’s footsteps woke Old Master Ji up. Old Master Ji raised his drooping eyes and looked at Ji Gao, who was walking towards him step by step.
Being stared at by that pair of turbid eyes, Ji Gao’s heart was in turmoil, and he was very uneasy.
He adjusted his expression so that it would not be so stiff.
The corners of Ji Gao’s mouth curled up slightly, and his voice carried a trace of flattery. “Dad!”
Old Master Ji nodded at Ji Gao, then glanced at the sofa not far from him. Seeing this, Ji Gao tactfully sat down on the sofa.
However, just as he sat down, before he could say anything, Old Master Ji stood up and slammed his cane against Ji Gao’s leg.
The pain in his leg made Ji Gao subconsciously cry out in pain. However, when he met Old Master Ji’s threatening gaze, he could only grit his teeth and not cry out in pain.
Seeing that Ji Gao was enduring the pain and would not exclaim again, a trace of satisfaction flashed across Old Master Ji’s eyes.
He slowly retracted the cane that had hit Ji Gao and used it as a support again.
He glanced at Ji Gao, who had some sweat on his forehead. Then, he looked at the sunny scene of the garden through the French window.
“Do you know why I hit you just now?” Old Master Ji dragged out his tone, but the deterrence in his tone only increased..
