If Gu Xiao can’t be controlled by him, then… Ji Gao thought with a dark expression.

Ji Yao saw Ji Gao’s reaction and lowered her eyes slightly to hide her joy.

Previously, Ji Gao was able to stand on the sidelines because Gu Xiao did not interfere with his interests. Now that he saw Gu Xiao’s attitude towards him, he would probably lose his cool.

She was just waiting. When Ji Gao couldn’t take it anymore, she would have a chat with Li Wen. She didn’t believe that she still couldn’t chase Gu Xiao out of the Ji Family by then.

Ji Yao was happy and did not take this matter to heart.

However, Ji Yao did not expect that after dinner, Jiang He would specially look for her because of Li Wen.

“Yaoyao, did you really say something to Wen?”

Ji Yao’s eyes flashed. She clasped her hands together and looked conflicted. When she looked up at Jiang He, tears flashed across her eyes.

“Mom, 1-1 didn’t do it on purpose. Now, my classmates are unwilling to talk to me. Ah Wen seems to know something and asked me. I had no choice but to tell him.”

Seeing Ji Yao’s frightened expression, Jiang He hurriedly sat near Ji Yao.

After getting close to Ji Yao, she even reached out and stroked her back comfortingly.

“I’m not saying that you’re in the wrong, but you should discuss this with me. Two people are better than one.” As Jiang He spoke, a trace of hatred flashed across her eyes. “Besides, I also think that Gu Xiao can’t stay in the Ji family anymore.”

Hearing Jiang He’s words, a trace of disdain flashed across Ji Yao’s lowered eyes.

So what if she told Jiang He? Jiang He had nothing now, and she was extremely stupid. If she really told Jiang He, the other party might even ruin her plan.

Ji Yao did not show it, even though she was thinking such thoughts.

“Then does Mom have any other ideas? You saw it today. Even if it’s Ah Wen’s opinion, Dad won’t listen.”

Jiang He’s hand that was caressing Ji Yao’s back slowly stopped. She thought for a while before saying to Ji Yao, “I heard that your grandfather is coming back from his vacation. Let’s find a time to meet him later!”

Hearing this, Ji Yao subconsciously shivered.

Her grandfather did not leave a good impression on her.

She reached out and held Jiang He’s hand. She pleaded, “Mom, can we not go and meet Grandpa? Grandpa doesn’t like me. The moment he sees me… I’m not the Ji family’s biological daughter now. Grandpa… Mom, I’m really scared.”

When Jiang He saw Ji Yao’s reaction, she realized that she must have misunderstood something.

She quickly patted Ji Yao’s hand comfortingly and looked at her gently.

“When we meet your grandfather later, we have to bring Gu Xiao along. When the time comes, just hide behind me and push Gu Xiao out.”

Ji Yao’s eyes lit up. “Mom, you mean…”

“Others can’t, but can’t your grandfather do it? Even if your father is the CEO of Ji Group, he still has to listen to your grandfather.”

As Jiang He spoke, a trace of viciousness flashed across her eyes. She had never thought that the person she wanted to deal with now was her biological daughter!

Ji Yao leaned on Jiang He’s shoulder and rubbed against it affectionately.

“I knew Mom was the best to me.”

Jiang He looked sideways at Ji Yao and raised her hand to stroke Ji Yao’s hair. Her voice was gentle and firm.

“You’re my only daughter. If I don’t treat you well, who else can I treat well?”

A few days later, Ji Chen returned to the Ji residence under Jiang He’s order. When Gu Xiao saw Ji Chen in the living room after school, her eyes lit up and she walked towards him.

“Brother, why are you back today? Isn’t the company busy?”

Ji Chen’s company could be said to be thriving, and as the CEO of the company, Ji Chen had many things to deal with and rarely came back to the Ji residence.

Hearing Gu Xiao’s voice, Ji Chen looked up and waved at Gu Xiao, asking her to sit down next to him.

“Mom called me and asked me to come back. She said that it’s a holiday tomorrow and that the family should go and see Grandpa..”
