Hearing this, Ji Chen chuckled and held his forehead helplessly.

He supported his chin with one hand and looked at Gu Xiao with curiosity and examination.

Gu Xiao just let him watch quietly without showing any hint of confusion or impatience.

After some time, Ji Chen took back his hand that was supporting his chin and returned to his usual indifferent look.

“Then this matter is settled. All right?”

“Alright, if Ji Gao comes looking for me in the future, I’ll do as you say.”

Hearing this, Ji Chen nodded slightly, stood up and was about to leave.

Seeing this, Gu Xiao also stood up.

Gu Xiao had just escorted Ji Chen out of the room when the other party seemed to remember something. He turned around and looked at Gu Xiao seriously.

“If Dad really chases you away, remember to ask for more compensation when the time comes. Whether it’s for your livelihood or if you want to invest, it’s always good to have more money on hand.”

As Ji Chen spoke, a trace of cunningness flashed across his eyes. He was teaching Gu Xiao how to deal with the future situation as if he was playing a prank.

“If they really want to chase me away, I won’t show mercy,” Gu Xiao said seriously.

Ji Chen was very satisfied with what Gu Xiao said. He nodded and strode away.

It was not until Ji Chen was out of sight that Gu Xiao retracted her gaze, went back to the room and closed the door.

She returned to the place where she was sitting with Ji Chen just now. She reached into her pocket subconsciously but did not find what she wanted.

Hence, she raised her head and glanced around the room. Finally, she found her phone on the desk.

She got up and walked to the desk. She picked up her phone and dialed Chu An’s number as she walked towards the bed.

Before she could sit down, Chu An’s voice rang out. “Xiaoxiao, why are you calling me at this time? Shouldn’t you be revising now? Or are you missing me?!”

Chu An’s voice changed from confusion to pleasant surprise. She heard the change clearly.

She sighed. Although she really wanted to give Chu An the answer he wanted, she still chose to tell the truth.

“I do miss you a little, but more importantly, my brother just came to look for me.”

Although he didn’t get the answer he wanted, hearing Gu Xiao say that she missed him was enough to make Chu An happy.

Chu An was overjoyed for a while before asking, “Your brother? Why is he looking for you?”

“He said that if Ji Gao were to look for me and ask me to leave the Ji Family, he asked me to agree.”

Hearing this, Chu An raised his eyebrows. He didn’t share Gu Xiao’s opinion about Ji Chen and completely trust Ji Chen like she did. When he heard Ji Chen’s words, his first reaction was to suspect that there was a conspiracy.

“Then what do you want to do, Xiaoxiao?”

“I agreed. Originally, it wasn’t much useful for me to stay in the Ji family and it even restricted my movements. Now that Brother isn’t on the Ji family’s side, I can completely leave the Ji family and do my own things. If 1 really want to take down the Ji family, my current ability is not enough.”

After hearing Gu Xiao’s words, Chu An already understood Gu Xiao’s thoughts.

Since the other party had already made a decision, he would not choose to stop her. After all, he was always by Gu Xiao’s side and could always protect the other party.

Thus, Chu An didn’t say anything to spoil the mood. “Then what does Xiaoxiao plan to do now?”

“Let’s wait for Ji Gao to bring it up first! After all, I shouldn’t be the one to speak up about this.”

At this point, Chu An suddenly remembered what Chu Baiyuan had said to him before.

“Previously, someone came to look for my father to probe out your relationship with our Chu family, but my father guessed that it should be Ji Gao’s pulling the strings behind the scenes. My father followed our previous agreement and didn’t show too much intimacy. If it’s really Ji Gao, he should come to you soon to discuss leaving.”

Since Ji Gao already had an inclination, and now that he had received Chu Baiyuan’s hint, he would probably choose to take action soon.

Although he looked down on Ji Gao, he had to admit that in terms of speedy action, that was one of Ji Gao’s few strengths. As long as Ji Gao confirmed that something was beneficial to him, he would do it as soon as possible and get the results as soon as possible.

When Gu Xiao heard this, she did not feel disappointed at all. Instead, she looked forward to it.

“Then I’ll wait for him..”
