Chapter 133: Severing Relationship

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Ji Gao looked at Gu Xiao darkly and the aura around him also became cold.

Gu Xiao did not care about the change in Ji Gao’s attitude at all. It was as if she could not feel Ji Gao’s cold aura. She yawned in boredom.

After the two of them were in a deadlock for a while, Ji Gao said, “1.8 billion. Why don’t you see if you can really swallow such an exorbitant sum!”

Gu Xiao shrugged nonchalantly. “1 can agree to not take this 1.8 billion.” A hint of pleased surprise flashed across Ji Gao’s eyes, but he heard Gu Xiao continue, “But 1 won’t agree to leave the Ji family either.”

Ji Gao felt like he had been played. “You!…”

“I remember that the Ji Group and the Li family are collaborating, right?”

Gu Xiao’s sudden change of topic made it difficult for Ji Gao to find an excuse to vent the anger in his heart. He could only hold it in.

“Why are you talking about this? What does it have to do with our conversation?”

“Of course it does. If 1 remember correctly, the progress of the land you and the Li Corporation are cooperating on is slow. Even the collaboration on software seems to be about to stop. You must be very anxious because of this matter now!”

Gu Xiao said calmly. When she saw Ji Gao’s expression change drastically, she nodded in satisfaction.

Ji Gao clenched his fists tightly on the desk and stared at Gu Xiao sharply, as if he wanted to cut her open and see what she was thinking.

“How did you know about this?” Ji Gao asked in a low voice.

Gu Xiao curled her lips. “You don’t have to worry about how I know about this. But if you don’t chase me out of the Ji family, I’m afraid that your collaboration with the Li family will…”

Gu Xiao did not finish her sentence. She just smiled playfully at Ji Gao.

“Do you think this 1.8 billion is more important, or is the collaboration with the Li Corporation more important?”

She handed the choice to Ji Gao, but she also knew which direction the scales in Ji Gao’s heart would lean in.

Ji Gao lowered his eyes and did not speak.

Gu Xiao was not in a hurry. She had plenty of time to waste with Ji Gao. She just wanted to see if Ji Gao could hold on.

Gu Xiao was right. If he could successfully complete the two collaborations with the Li Corporation, what he would profit would not just be merely this 1.8 billion yuan. This 1.8 billion yuan was only a small part of it.

He could not lose his cooperation with the Li Corporation because of this 1.8 billion yuan.

However, he was unwilling to be led by the nose by Gu Xiao.

After a while, Ji Gao opened his eyes.

“Alright, I can agree to compensate you with 1.8 billion yuan. However, you have to sign a contract to sever ties with me. No matter what happens to you after that, it has nothing to do with the Ji family!”

He wanted to completely sever the relationship between Gu Xiao and the Ji family. Even if Gu Xiao wanted to return to the Ji family in the future, he could not let her have another reason!

Gu Xiao’s eyes lit up when she heard Ji Gao’s words.

This was completely what she wanted. Everything was going according to her plan! Before she could bring this up, Ji Gao brought it up first.

No matter how happy Gu Xiao was, she did not show it on her face. She was still as calm as ever.

She nodded. “Sure! I agree to sign the severance contract.”

Seeing how straightforward Gu Xiao was, without any hesitation at all, Ji Gao glanced at Gu Xiao in confusion.

Sensing the suspicion in Ji Gao’s eyes, Gu Xiao hurriedly said, “Why? Are you going back on your word?”

Ji Gao instantly came back to his senses.

Regardless of Gu Xiao’s thoughts, he only needed to chase Gu Xiao out and maintain the collaboration with the Li Corporation. As for the rest, it did not matter. He did not think that the Ji Group would ever need to ask Gu Xiao for help.

“No.” Ji Gao denied. Then, he opened the drawer beside his hand and took out a document. “This is the contract for severing ties. After you sign it, I will give you the compensation.”

Gu Xiao stood up and walked over. She took the document from Ji Gao and flipped it open.

There was nothing bad about the contract terms inside. The only thing that was more stringent was the term preventing her from returning to the Ji family.

However, this strict term was actually a good thing for her.

Gu Xiao casually picked up the pen on the desk and wrote her name on the document before handing it to Ji Gao.

“Alright, you can confirm it..”
