Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

As Ji Yao spoke, she cried harder and harder.

Listening to Ji Yao’s broken cries, Li Wen felt as if his heart was being tightly gripped, and felt very pained.

To Li Wen, Gu Xiao was already a sinful and unforgivable person.

These words came out of his beloved Ji Yao’s mouth. In addition, Gu Xiao was completely rude to him previously, so Li Wen did not have any doubts about Ji Yao’s words.

When Ji Yao finally finished crying, Li Wen quickly comforted her.

“Yaoyao, don’t worry. I’ll definitely stand up for you! That b*tch Gu Xiao must not stay in the Ji family anymore. 1 want to see how Gu Xiao can continue to bully you after leaving the Ji family!”

Hearing this, a trace of success flashed across Ji Yao’s eyes, and she smiled happily, as if she could already see Gu Xiao being chased out of the Ji family and in dire straits.

Ji Yao was smug, but she didn’t show it when she spoke to Li Wen.

“Ah Wen, do you think I’m a bad person?”

“Yaoyao, how can you think that way? Gu Xiao has already bullied you and you’re still thinking for her. Yaoyao, you’re too kind. Leave this matter to me. Yaoyao, don’t interfere and don’t have any guilty thoughts towards Gu Xiao. Do you hear me, Yaoyao?”

Ji Yao bit her lip and hummed softly before changing the topic.

She wanted Li Wen to help her get rid of Gu Xiao, but she still made him think that she was kind.

Hence, she could not stay too long on the topic of Gu Xiao. She just needed Li Wen to avenge her.

Ji Yao talked to Li Wen for a while to make their relationship more stable before reluctantly hanging up the phone with Li Wen.

The room fell into silence. Ji Yao held her phone tightly and laughed silently.

At noon the next day, Ji Gao received a call from Li Wen.

“Uncle Ji, I called you this time not for anything else but for Gu Xiao. I hope that Uncle Ji will chase Gu Xiao out of the Ji family. The next time I go to the Ji family, I don’t want to see Gu Xiao again.”

Hearing Li Wen’s words, Ji Gao subconsciously frowned.

“Ah Wen, what’s wrong? Did Xiaoxiao do something wrong? If that’s the case, 1’11 apologize on her behalf. However, it’s really inappropriate to chase Xiaoxiao out of the Ji family.”

Seeing that Ji Gao refused, Li Wen wasn’t angry. He sneered.

“Uncle Ji, don’t forget the land that the Ji family and our Li family just collaborated on, as well as the software that we might collaborate on in the future. 1 think Uncle Ji will agree to this junior’s request.”

It was a demand, not a request.

Ji Gao knew what Li Wen meant.

However, before he could speak, Li Wen’s voice came from the other end of the phone line again. “Alright, Uncle Ji, I should take my lunch break. I still have class in the afternoon. I won’t disturb Uncle Ji anymore.”

With that, Li Wen hung up.

Ji Gao took the phone from his ear. When he saw that the call had been hung up, anger rose in his eyes.

He was just a junior. What kind of person did he think he was? If it was not for the fact he wanted to use Li Wen to get close to the Li family, why would he be so respectful to Li Wen?!

Thinking of Li Wen’s previous words, Ji Gao’s eyes darkened for a moment.

He just didn’t know what those people at home were doing again! They actually alerted Li Wen and asked him to stand up for them!

It seemed that he had to go home.

With this thought in mind, Ji Gao put his phone aside and ignored it.

At night, after knowing that Ji Gao had returned home, even if Gu Xiao was unwilling, she could only come down to have dinner with the Ji family.

The Ji Family did not have the rule of not speaking while eating. Hence, not long after the meal had started, Ji Gao said with a dark expression, “What happened recently when I was not at home?”

As soon as these words were spoken, Jiang He and Ji Yao stopped eating and their expressions changed. After a few seconds, they recovered and continued eating.

On the other hand, Gu Xiao did not react at all, as if she had not heard anything..
