Chapter 121: Targeting

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Ji Gao glanced at the panicked expressions of Jiang He and Ji Yao and felt annoyed. However, when he thought of Ji Yao and Li Wen’s relationship, he suppressed his impatience.

“What is it? Are you all unwilling to speak?” There was a hint of warning in Ji Gao’s voice.

Jiang He knew Ji Gao’s personality, so she put down the chopsticks in her hand and said nonchalantly, “It’s nothing. It’s just a small fight. It can’t be taken seriously.”

Jiang He wasn’t willing to speak up for Gu Xiao, but if Ji Gao found out what happened, he might blame Yaoyao. She didn’t want her Yaoyao to be blamed at all.

Ji Gao glanced at Ji Yao, whose eyes were flickering. He knew that the matter of Li Wen was probably Ji Yao who made the decision on her own and she did not discuss it with Jiang He.

His sharp gaze landed on Ji Yao. “Li Wen has already found me! What is it? Did 1 misunderstand something?!”

Hearing this, Jiang He looked at Ji Yao in surprise and did not speak for the time being.

Gu Xiao, who was at the side, just continued eating alone, but a hint of understanding flashed across her eyes.

That was true. That was all Ji Yao had. She probably couldn’t think of any other way. Taking shortcuts was also Ji Yao’s usual way of doing things.

Ji Yao felt as if her body was being pricked by needles. She knew that she could no longer hide behind Jiang He, so she could only speak carefully.

“1-1 was just in a bad mood during that period of time, so I talked to All Wen a little more.”

Li Wen was willing to stand up for her, but it was not she that had bewitched him into doing so.

A person like Ji Yao was nothing in front of an old fox like Ji Gao. He could tell what the other party was thinking at a glance.

However, it was actually not bad for his daughter to make good use of the people around her. It was just that she should not target him. This was something he could not tolerate!

“That’s right! Our Yaoyao has suffered a lot recently. It’s not easy for you to come home. It’s fine if you don’t stand up for Yaoyao, but why are you blaming her?”

Jiang He noticed the change in Ji Gao’s attitude and muttered unhappily.

Ji Gao retracted his gaze from Ji Yao and looked at Jiang He helplessly.

He did not know what drug Ji Yao had drugged Jiang He with to make her protect Ji Yao like this.

He did not want to talk to Jiang He anymore. He looked at Gu Xiao, who had not said a word since the beginning.

“Xiaoxiao, tell me what happened.”

Gu Xiao had just finished her meal. She wiped the corners of her mouth before looking at Ji Gao.

“I have a video. Do you want to know the head and tail of the whole matter?” Her voice was very calm, as if she did not care about Ji Gao’s decision.

“Daddy!”

Ji Yao did not expect Gu Xiao to still have the video in her hands. She immediately exclaimed and felt frustrated. However, more importantly, she was worried that Ji Gao would be dissatisfied with her.

She was still in the Ji family, so she naturally could not offend Ji Gao.

Seeing Ji Yao like this, Ji Gao understood everything.

He gave Ji Yao a warning look before saying to Gu Xiao, “I won’t watch the video. 1 just hope that when Xiaoxiao is at home, you can get along well with Yaoyao.”

Hearing this, Ji Yao pursed her lips. She was a little dissatisfied, but she did not dare to say anything at this time. She could only think of a way to get Li Wen to interfere later.

However, Gu Xiao was not surprised at all. She sneered at Ji Gao and looked at him disdainfully.

“Do you think I should do as you say? The fact 1 am staying in the Ji family now is just so both of us will get what we want respectively. You don’t have the right to order me around.”

Ever since Ji Yao broke the gift from the only person she considered family, she was unwilling to maintain peace with Ji Yao even if it was on the surface, let alone “get along well”.

With that, Gu Xiao stood up. “I’m done eating. I’ll go upstairs first.” With that, she left.

Ji Gao did not expect Gu Xiao to be so rude to him.

He looked at Gu Xiao’s back with a dark expression.

Initially, he only treated Gu Xiao politely because of the Chu family. However, he didn’t expect Gu Xiao to take it for granted, and for her to not take even him to heart now..
