Mr Ji closed his eyes with a headache. He deliberately did not inform Jiang He and wanted to take advantage of the time when she was overseas on a business trip to settle the matter. He did not expect she had still come back.

Ji Gao took a deep breath in frustration, then patiently explained the current situation. “The Internet doesn’t want us to keep Ji Yao now. If we move her out of the household register, it will definitely be very beneficial to the Ji Group. We can even surpass several companies which are at the same level as us. Do you understand?”

Ji Gao said this mainly for Jiang He, hoping that she would listen and support him in sending Ji Yao away.

Unfortunately, things did not go as Mr Ji had imagined. Not only did Jiang He not want to send Ji Yao away, but she was even more determined to keep her.

Jiang He raised her hand angrily and pointed at Mr Ji’s nose. “Give up. I won’t let you send Yaoyao away. I don’t believe that our family would be short of those paltry benefits!”

Ji Yao looked at the scene in front of her and the worry in her heart dissipated. She was glad that she had called Jiang He in time when she felt that the situation was not good a few days ago. Otherwise, she would definitely not be able to deal with Mr Ji now.

Seeing that the situation had developed enough, Ji Yao stood up and held Jiang He’s hand. She said softly, “Mom, why don’t I leave? It hasn’t been easy for you all these years for the company. I don’t want your hard work to be in vain because of me.”

As Ji Yao spoke, her voice gradually choked up. Her eyes were red, and tears gradually fell. She looked like she was very pitiful, but was still putting up a face of being strong.

Other than Jiang He, everyone present could tell that Ji Yao was pretending.

Ji Yao’s tears seemed to have hit her heart, causing her to feel pain. Then, she raised her hand to wipe her tears away with heartache and said firmly, “Yaoyao, don’t say that. You’re much more important than the company!”

Gu Xiao’s eyes flashed when she heard this. Then, she lowered her eyes to hide the ridicule in them.

Even though Gu Xiao had already seen how much love Jiang He had for Ji Yao in her previous life, she still felt disappointed after experiencing it again.

When Ji Gao heard Jiang He’s words, he exploded in anger. After a long time, he said, “Nonsense!”

When Jiang He heard this, she also snorted coldly. Then, she turned to look at Ji Chen and said, “Don’t tell me you want to chase Yaoyao out of the house like your father?”

Ji Chen did not answer Jiang He immediately.

Ji Chen glanced in Gu Xiao’s direction. The little girl’s head was lowered at this moment. He could not tell what she was thinking, but he seemed to be able to see that she was surrounded by loneliness. He then looked at Ji Yao, who was nestled in Jiang He’s arms. Even though she was suppressing herself, she inadvertently revealed a hint of smugness.

Ji Chen retracted his gaze and said calmly, “Gu Xiao is my biological sister. Now that she’s back, Ji Yao should indeed return to her biological parents.”

When Jiang He heard Ji Chen’s words, she frowned and said angrily, “Are all of you crazy? Yaoyao’s biological parents are human traffickers and have already been sentenced to prison. So are you going to send Yaoyao to prison now?”

At this moment, Gu Xiao raised her head and looked straight at Jiang He. “So you know that they are human traffickers?”

As her voice rang out, Jiang He turned to look at Gu Xiao. However, she then retracted her gaze and asked, “Isn’t it normal for me to know that when it was broadcasted live online?”

Gu Xiao sneered and suppressed the unhappiness in her heart. She asked the question that she had always wanted to ask in this life and in her previous life. “Since you know that I was deliberately switched, why do you still like the daughter of the human trafficker and not even look at your biological daughter?”

Unlike Ji Gao, who valued benefits, Jiang He simply liked Ji Yao. It was as if she had been poisoned. She even ignored her biological daughter for her sake.

At the thought of this, Gu Xiao gently closed her eyes and asked the question she wanted to ask the most. “Have you ever anticipated my arrival?”

Faced with this question, Jiang He was in a daze. Of course, she had looked forward to Gu Xiao’s birth. Even Ji Yao’s name was carefully chosen after knowing that she was pregnant with a girl..
