Chapter 66: Two Requests

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Of course, Mr Ji was suspicious, so he went to do a paternity test to prove that Ji Yao was indeed not his biological child. But so what? He had already put in so much effort and she could bring him benefits now. How could he give her up now?

It was precisely because Mr Ji had such thoughts, that he did not have the thought of looking for his biological daughter.

However, could Mr Ji say that now? No!

After a long time, Mr Ji said, “I noticed it, but I didn’t think in that direction.”

Actually, after seeing Mr Ji’s appearance, Gu Xiao knew that he didn’t care. After all, he was a person who only cared about benefits. If he hadn’t seen her value in this life, he definitely wouldn’t have looked for her.

Forget it. Gu Xiao did not intend to dwell on this because she suddenly thought of something fun.

Gu Xiao looked up at Mr Ji and said calmly, “Actually, I can go back too. Then shouldn’t Ji Yao return to her parents, Gu Shan and Xie Fang?”

Mr Ji did not expect Gu Xiao to make such a request. He was conflicted about this. Although Ji Yao had indeed disappointed him more and more recently, Ji Yao still had one last bit of value. For example, a marriage alliance would bring benefits to the company.

Gu Xiao was not disappointed when she saw the conflicted expression on Mr Ji’s face. After all, she had long known that he would not give up on Ji Yao, and what she said was not her true goal.

After a while, Gu Xiao said, “Or you don’t have to send Ji Yao back. Then you have to agree to two of my requests.”

Mr Ji heaved a sigh of relief after hearing Gu Xiao’s words. Then, he asked, “What are the requests?”

Seeing Mr Ji’s eager look, Gu Xiao lowered her eyes slightly to hide the mockery in them. Then, she said, “Gu Shan, and Xie Fang maliciously swapped the two of us back then. This should be considered trafficking, right? So you have to fight a lawsuit for me and send them to prison!”

“No problem.” Mr Ji had the same intention. Hence, after hearing Gu Xiao’s request, he agreed without any hesitation.

Because Gu Xiao’s first request was too simple, Mr Ji heaved a sigh of relief and asked, “What’s the second request?”

Gu Xiao said, “Actually, the second one is not a request. This is because Ji Yao made a bet with me. If my results in a single subject surpass hers, she will have to switch classes with me. In this midterm exam, other than the two subjects which she cheated in, I’m higher than her in all of them, so please contact the school.”

When Mr Ji heard Gu Xiao’s words, he had already frowned. After she finished speaking, he immediately said, “No! The bet between you children doesn’t count. Besides, the consequences are too serious!”

When Mr Ji was choosing a school for Ji Yao back then, he had already specially studied the different classes, so he knew very well that Gu Xiao’s class was the worst in the school. If he really let Ji Yao go to this class, what would happen to the pride of the Ji family?

After hearing his words, Gu Xiao asked, “Is the consequences very serious? But if I didn’t surpass her in any subject, I would have to drop out of school. In comparison, isn’t it even more serious? Especially when I first arrived at school, my results weren’t good. Moreover, Ji Yao was the one who took the initiative to talk to me about this bet. Speaking of which, if Ji Yao hadn’t cheated, she might not have been able to surpass me in the other two subjects.”

After all, Ji Yao really dared to cheat and actually get full marks.

Mr Ji suddenly remembered that Ji Yao had told him that she had a bet with someone in school. Unsurprisingly, it should be with Gu Xiao, right?

The more Mr Ji thought about it, the more he felt that Ji Yao was a good-for-nothing. She had taken the initiative to make the bet and lost. She wanted to cheat but was discovered again!

Gu Xiao glanced at Mr Ji’s changing expressions and said casually, “Since you don’t agree, we have nothing to say.”

After saying this, Gu Xiao acted like she was going to close the door.

However, just as she moved, she was stopped by Mr Ji. He made a difficult decision. “I’ll contact the school now!”

When Gu Xiao and Ji Yao were compared, it was obvious whom he should choose. Comparatively speaking, Gu Xiao could bring him more benefits now.

Since Ji Yao was about to be abandoned, what did it matter if her circumstances was a little worse?
