Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
She naturally liked this son of hers and had never thought of creating a barrier between her and Ji Chen. But every time she saw Ji Chen standing beside Gu Xiao, she could not help but get angry at him.
Her son should stand with her. How could he, how could he stand by Gu Xiao’s side! This was a betrayal to her.
However, she did not want the relationship between her and Ji Chen to become stiffer, so she only targetted Gu Xiao.
“Gu Xiao! Don’t you see that Yaoyao is sad? Don’t you know how to be humble and give that fountain pen to Yaoyao?! How can you be so selfish?!”
Jiang He criticized Gu Xiao. She did not even think that there was anything wrong with her words. In her mind, it was natural that Gu Xiao should compromise for Yaoyao.
Hearing this, Ji Chen frowned. Just as he was about to turn around and say something to Jiang He, Gu Xiao, who was beside her, beat him to it.
Gu Xiao stood loftily and looked down at Jiang He and Ji Yao with mockery in her eyes.
She sneered. “How shameless is Ji Yao to dare to snatch someone else’s things so brazenly? Or is the Ji family already in such dire straits that they can only let Ji Yao out to snatch the belongings of others?”
“Gu Xiao, don’t be so harsh with your words! You and Yaoyao are practically sisters, so you should naturally love and protect each other.”
“Do you even believe what you’re saying?”
Jiang He’s eyes flashed. Naturally, she knew that her words were wrong.
But since Yaoyao wanted the fountain pen in Gu Xiao’s hand, that fountain pen should be Yaoyao’s!
“But no matter what, you…”
Gu Xiao crossed her arms. “I don’t care what you do. I’m already giving you face by staying in the Ji Family. Don’t force me. Otherwise, even I don’t know what I might do later. Don’t blame me for being harsh to you then!”
When Gu Xiao said this, Jiang He and Ji Yao recalled Ji Gao’s warning to them.
It was best not to anger Gu Xiao before they had something on her.
Gu Xiao sneered when she saw that the two of them stopped talking. She turned around and continued to walk upstairs.
Standing next to Gu Xiao, Ji Chen smiled as he watched how she looked like she was ready to fight against hundreds of enemies.
After Gu Xiao and Jiang He left, Jiang He looked at Ji Yao apologetically.
“Yaoyao, it’s not that I don’t want to help you. It’s just that if 1 anger Gu Xiao, that jinx, it won’t be good if she does anything bad to the Ji Group.”
Now, the Ji Group was the only thing Jiang He could rely on. No matter what, she would not let the Ji Group suffer any losses, not even if it was only a potential threat.
Ji Yao shook her head at Jiang He and said tactfully, “Mom, I know what you mean. I won’t blame you. It’s just that I’m not good enough, so Brother doesn’t take me seriously.”
“That’s your brother’s personality. He’s not targeting you. Yaoyao, don’t think too much. Our Yaoyao is loved by everyone. Gu Xiao, that troublemaker, can’t compare to you at all!”
Jiang He said confidently and even reached out to tidy up Ji Yao’s messy hair.
Ji Yao seemingly enjoyed Jiang He’s actions. After the other party stopped, she leaned against Jiang He’s shoulder affectionately.
“Mom’s so good.”
After saying that, Ji Yao lowered her eyes to hide the emotions in them.
What did she mean by she was the best? Wasn’t she still inferior to the Ji Group? For the sake of the Ji Group, even she could be abandoned at will.
If Jiang He really liked her, he should have ignored Gu Xiao’s wishes and snatched the fountain pen that Ji Chen gave to Gu Xiao!
The malice in Ji Yao’s eyes kept surging, but when she looked up at Jiang He, the malice in her eyes was completely restrained.
The next morning, Gu Xiao brought the fountain pen that Ji Chen gave her to school and shared the good news with Chu An.
Unexpectedly, when Chu An heard this news, he pursed his lips and looked unhappy.
Gu Xiao put down the pen she was playing with and looked at Chu An worriedly. “What’s wrong? Did something happen?”
Chu An glanced at the fountain pen on Gu Xiao’s desk. “Will you be angry that 1 didn’t prepare a gift for you?”
At that time, he was really happy. He had prepared a gift for Gu Xiao, but before he could give it to her, he saw Gu Xiao taking out the fountain pen that Ji Chen had given her.
This made him feel like he was too late..
