When Gu Xiao heard the news, she was in school.

“Xiaoxiao, are you happy?” After seeing Gu Xiao look at the trending topic, Chu An approached her and asked in a low voice.

“I’m happy,” Gu Xiao replied with a smile. Upon seeing Chu An’s expression of asking for credit, she lowered her eyes and pondered for a moment before asking, “Were you involved in this matter?”

Chu An coughed lightly and turned his head away in embarrassment before replying in a low voice, “Yes, but I’m only inciting everyone to investigate the Ji Family’s products.”

When Gu Xiao heard this, she chuckled and praised, “Well done!”

In her previous life, Gu Xiao knew that there was something wrong with the Ji Group’s items because she overheard Mr Ji talking on the phone with another party, saying that they should add less materials when making the items. However, when she discovered this, Mr Ji also saw her.

After that, she was monitored by Mr Ji, and she couldn’t find a chance to tell anyone about this.

Therefore, Gu Xiao felt that Ji Gao should be hopping mad now that this matter had blown up.

That was indeed the case. At the same time, Ji Yao was furious.

It was not until Ji Yao entered the school today that she realized that she had been arranged to change classes with Gu Xiao. She looked for the principal angrily, but the principal only told her helplessly that this was Mr Ji’s decision and they could not change it.

After hearing the principal’s words, Ji Yao’s face turned pale. Of course, she did not dare to ask Mr Ji because she was already close to being abandoned. If nothing went wrong, Mr Ji should already know about her bet with Gu Xiao. If she asked now, it would only speed up her abandonment.

Hence, thought flashed through Ji Yao’s eyes and she called Jiang He.

After Jiang He picked up the call, Ji Yao said aggrievedly, “Mom, Dad switched mine and Gu Xiao’s classes. I don’t want to be in this class. The students in this class are all academically poor students…”

Ji Yao did not tell her the reason why she was transferred to another class. She only cried non-stop after saying that.

When Jiang He heard this, she panicked and said, “Yaoyao, don’t cry. I’ll go look for your father now and ask him what happened!”

Ji Yao choked and agreed softly. “Okay.”

A few seconds after Ji Yao agreed, she pretended to have just remembered and said anxiously, “Mom, don’t get into a conflict with Dad later. If Dad insists that I stay in this class, I… I’ll stay in this class. I just want the two of you to be fine!”

As Ji Yao said this, Jiang He’s heart ached even more for her. At the same time, she was even angrier. After hanging up, she went to look for Ji Gao angrily.

Jiang He pushed open the office door and questioned, “Ji Gao, why did you transfer Yaoyao to the worst class?!”

Ji Gao was already very busy because of the company’s matters. At this moment, he was discussing solutions with the company’s executives. He did not expect Jiang He to suddenly barge in and even question him about Ji Yao.

Ji Gao frowned and gave the executives around him a look. After they left, he said impatiently, “This is a bet between Ji Yao and Gu Xiao. She said that if she lost, she would swap classes with Gu Xiao. Not only did she lose, but it was also discovered that she had obtained the answer key through illegal channels!”

The more Ji Gao spoke, the angrier he became. In the end, he could not help but snort coldly.

Jiang He was stunned when she heard Ji Gao’s words. She did not expect there to be so many things going on. Furthermore, Yaoyao did not tell her about these things.

However, even so, Jiang He still said, “Yaoyao is just too young and still insensible. No matter what, you can’t transfer her to such a class!”

Ji Gao said forcefully, “I know you want me to keep Ji Yao in her original class, but let me tell you, that’s impossible! I’ve already promised Gu Xiao back then. It’s impossible to transfer her back. Besides, didn’t you go online? Can’t you see how much the company has been affected? Stay at home now and don’t interfere in anything!”

Jiang He panted heavily in anger at Ji Gao’s words. Then, she slammed the door and left. She did not listen to Ji Gao’s words and drove quickly to school in the next second.

Since Ji Gao didn’t care, Jiang He wanted to do things herself. She definitely wouldn’t let Yaoyao suffer in such a class!

When Jiang He arrived, school had just ended and she happened to see Ji Yao coming out.

Jiang He got out of the car and waved as she shouted, “Yaoyao!”

“Mom!” Ji Yao also saw Jiang He and hurriedly ran towards her. She threw herself into her arms with an aggrieved expression..
