Chapter 83: Not Easy to Deal With

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Ji Yao held Jiang He’s hand and shook it coquettishly.

“How could I lie about such a thing?! I wanted to help Mom, so I asked Li Wen to help!”

Ji Yao understood that in this family, the only person who could stand on her side unconditionally was Jiang He. Hence, even if Jiang He wanted to send her overseas, she could only use this method to steady Jiang He.

If she really lost Jiang He’s support, then she would really have no one to rely on in the Ji family.

Ji Yao leaned on Jiang He’s shoulder and her eyes darkened.

When Jiang He heard Ji Yao’s words, she was indeed more and more happy with Ji Yao. She even felt a little guilty for wanting to send Ji Yao overseas.

She reached out and patted Ji Yao’s arm. “I knew that only our Yaoyao really dotes on me.” As she spoke, a trace of disgust flashed across her eyes. “Unlike that ingrate Gu Xiao, who actually ignored me, her biological mother!”

Ji Yao raised her head and looked at Jiang He with admiration. “You’re my mother. Of course I have to think for you.”

When Jiang He heard this, she spoke a lot to Ji Yao before walking out with the other party.

At this moment, Ji Gao was sitting not far away from Li Wen. He seemed to be asking Li Wen something. Li Wen also did well. He was not impatient at all in the face of Ji Gao’s question.

When Ji Yao saw this, a trace of satisfaction flashed across her heart.

Li Wen was so respectful to Ji Gao because of her!

Thinking of this, Ji Yao looked at Gu Xiao even more smugly. She even raised her head and pointed her chin at Gu Xiao.

Gu Xiao naturally did not miss Ji Yao’s reaction. Her gaze landed on Li Wen for a moment before she quickly retracted it.

She remembered that this Li Wen didn’t seem to be easy to deal with in her previous life. It was really hard to say what would happen in this life…

Seeing that Gu Xiao had no reaction, an unknown anger rose in Ji Yao’s heart. Under Jiang He’s signal, she sat down beside Li Wen with the fruits and placed it in front of her. Then, she held the other party’s arm and looked at Gu Xiao in challenge.

“You haven’t seen Li Wen yet, have you? We can get to know each other better this time.”

Li Wen was the heir of the Li family. Even if Gu Xiao returned to the Ji family, she would still be unable to come into contact with someone like Li Wen. And she… was different from Gu Xiao!

Before Gu Xiao could say anything, Jiang He frowned.

“What’s there to know? Don’t you know how to read expressions at a time like this? Don’t you know how to avoid? You actually dare to sit here shamelessly.”

After saying that, Jiang He shot a dissatisfied glance at Gu Xiao.

If not for Li Wen’s presence, she would have said something even worse!

Gu Xiao was originally unwilling to stay here, but Ji Gao had asked her to stay.

It was not appropriate for her to fall out with Ji Gao now. In addition, she wanted to see Ji Yao’s reaction, so she stayed for the time being.

Now that Jiang He said this, Ji Yao’s reaction was within her expectations, so she did not have the mood to stay any longer.

Gu Xiao was satisfied, but she still looked a little aggrieved. “Since Mom doesn’t want me to stay here, it’s better for me to go up.”

After saying that, she nodded at Ji Gao. Ji Gao glanced at Li Wen, who was sitting beside Ji Yao, and hummed softly. Seeing Gu Xiao turn around and go upstairs, he did not stop her.

Ji Yao looked at Gu Xiao’s “desolate” back and felt even happier. Her grip on Li Wen tightened.

Gu Xiao was not dissatisfied at all. She went upstairs briskly. Just as she entered the room, the phone in her pocket suddenly rang.

She didn’t need to take out her phone to guess who was calling.

When she saw the name on the screen, she raised her eyebrows slightly and answered the call.

Chu An’s voice came from the phone with a hint of worry. “Xiaoxiao, have you arrived at the Ji residence?”

Gu Xiao was a little helpless about Chu An’s worries. She knew that the other party only wanted to ask about her situation in the Ji residence, not whether she was home.

However, Gu Xiao was still happy that the other party had always taken her seriously.

“I’m already here.” She answered the other party’s question and then shared some information with Chu An. “However, I saw someone in the Ji residence today.”

“Who?”
