Chapter 135: Ruby

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

When Ji Yao just thought about how she had meticulously planned everything and it was only paving the way for Gu Xiao, she would feel regretful.

However… after Gu Xiao left the Ji family, everything in the Ji family belonged to her. She could return to her life before Gu Xiao came to the Ji family!

Thinking of this, Ji Yao felt a little better.

She looked at Gu Xiao with a flawless smile. “Xiaoxiao, even if you want to leave the Ji family, it’s too late today. If you leave now, Mom and Dad will definitely be worried about you. Why don’t you leave tomorrow?”

Jiang He snorted and crossed her arms as she looked at Gu Xiao in disdain.

“I’m not worried. If anything happens to her, it has nothing to do with us!”

Gu Xiao glanced at Jiang He, then looked at Ji Yao and shrugged.

“Don’t worry. Someone’s coming to pick me up.”

When Ji Gao came to look for her, she had already sent a message.

She even stayed a little longer when she was packing her things. At this time, the person who picked her up should have arrived.

Just as Gu Xiao finished speaking, there was a sudden sound outside the Ji residence, interrupting Ji Yao’s words.

Hearing the sound, Gu Xiao walked out without hesitation.

Jiang He and Ji Yao looked at each other. After hesitating for a few seconds, they followed Gu Xiao.

Just as the two of them reached the door, they saw Chu An, who had just gotten out of the car.

Chu An’s eyes lit up when he saw Gu Xiao. He quickly walked towards Gu Xiao and took the small bag from her.

He weighed the bag in his hand and looked at Jiang He, who had followed him out.

“Xiaoxiao is a daughter of the Ji Family after all. I didn’t expect the Ji Family to treat your child like this, that she doesn’t even have much clothes?”

His Xiaoxiao had really suffered. If he had known that Xiaoxiao was living such a life in the Ji Family, he would not have agreed to let Xiaoxiao return to the Ji Family.

When Jiang He saw Chu An’s figure, her face stiffened for a moment, and her face turned red when she heard this.

“Our Ji Family has not mistreated her! Second Young Master Ji, don’t tarnish our Ji Family’s reputation!”

If Chu An’s words were to spread, who knew what those people would say about the Ji Family behind their backs!

Chu An ignored Jiang He’s words and looked at Gu Xiao instead.

Gu Xiao shook her head at Chu An, indicating that he didn’t need to bother about this.

After all, Jiang He was right about this.

After she was recognized, the Ji Family could not treat her badly in terms of clothes and jewelry even if it was just for show. The Ji Family did buy her a lot of things, but she did not choose to take any of them away.

The things in the bag were also some trinkets that Ji Chen had given her, as well as the clothes and other things that Chu An had bought for her previously.

“That’s right. Chu An, don’t misunderstand. Our Ji family hasn’t mistreated Xiaoxiao. Dad even gave her a ruby!” Ji Yao held Jiang He’s hand and said.

This ruby was bought by Ji Gao from an auction. When Ji Gao brought the ruby home, she wanted it, but Gu Xiao took it.

She was still brooding over this matter!

Gu Xiao turned to look at Ji Yao and smiled at her.

“That ruby is in the bookcase in my room. It can be yours now!” With that, Gu Xiao got into the car with Chu An and left the Ji residence.

When Ji Gao heard the commotion and saw Chu An’s figure from the study upstairs, he rushed downstairs. Chu An had already left with Gu Xiao. He only saw the back of a car.

Ji Gao felt regretful that he didn’t form a connection with Chu An, but when he thought of Chu Baiyuan’s words and the relationship between Chu An and Gu Xiao, Ji Gao didn’t feel too regretful.

In the car, Chu An and Gu Xiao sat closely together.

There was clearly a very wide empty space beside him, but he ignored it.

Gu Xiao glanced at the empty seat next to him and then at Chu An. She sighed in her heart but ultimately didn’t ask Chu An to stay away.

“Xiaoxiao, where do you plan to go now?” Chu An probed..
