Chapter 404: Knowing

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

After Gu Xiao and Chu An delivered their gifts, they chatted with their friends in the dormitory for a while. In the evening, they still chose to return to their own little nest.

Jiang Meng and Wei Shu tried to persuade her to stay. Seeing that Gu Xiao had already made up her mind, they did not say anything else.

After returning to school, Gu Xiao and Chu An returned to their previous state of studying.

Five days after the holiday ended, Chu An received a message. His gaze lingered on the message for a long time. Only when he could memorize the message did he put away his phone.

At night, Chu An lazily sat on the sofa with his arms around Gu Xiao’s waist. Then, he inadvertently said, “Brother Chen seems to have opened a company for Jiang He.”

The moment Chu An finished speaking, he sensed the body in his arms stiffen for a moment.

Although Gu Xiao quickly relaxed again, the moment of stiffness still couldn’t be hidden from Chu An, who had been paying attention to Gu Xiao.

“Is that so?” Gu Xiao said calmly, as if she did not care about this news at all.

If Chu An hadn’t sensed the unnaturalness in that moment just now, he would probably have been deceived by Gu Xiao’s indifferent expression.

He straightened up and stared straight at Gu Xiao.

“You care a lot about this matter.” Chu An’s voice was firm.

When Gu Xiao heard this, she looked up at Chu An and quickly lowered her eyes again.

Her hands moved by her sides and gripped the corner of the sofa tightly.

Did she care? Of course she did.

Ji Chen was the only person who had shown her kindness in her first life. He was also the person who had truly come to her side in this life, and he was really related to her by blood.

How could she not care about such a special person?

She naturally knew that Jiang He was Ji Chen’s biological mother. Jiang He treated Ji Chen well, so it was only right for Ji Chen to repay Jiang He. This was what a son should do when he had the ability.

But… but it wasn’t easy for her to bankrupt the company that had brought her nightmares in her previous life. It made Jiang He experience the despair of losing the most important thing.

Now, Ji Chen had given Jiang He back the thing that she valued the most.

Even though she knew that this was what Ji Chen was supposed to do, she could not help but feel betrayed.

Chu An reached out and grabbed Gu Xiao’s hand by her side, carefully wrapping it in his palm.

“Since you care, how about asking Brother Chen directly? Brother Chen should have his reasons for doing this.” Chu An’s voice was very soft, with a hint of comfort.

He knew that Mrs Chu and Mr Chu were very close to Gu Xiao, as if they were real family.

But at the same time, he also knew that a person had to have a close relative by her side to have more confidence. If it was only him and his family that Gu Xiao had by her side, he did not want to see this scene.

So he was willing to protect the relationship between Gu Xiao and Ji Chen.

Moreover, although Ji Chen had prepared a jewelry company for Jiang He, he did not know the reason for Ji Chen’s actions.

On the surface, it looked like Ji Chen was trying to make up for the regret of Jiang He’s company going bankrupt. But what if there was another reason? He was still willing to believe Ji Chen, believing that Ji Chen would not rub salt on Gu Xiao’s wound.

Especially when Ji Chen already knew about that matter.

Gu Xiao blinked and sent a message to Ji Chen under Chu An’s encouraging gaze.

After sending the message, Gu Xiao held her breath. She did not want to get the answer that she did not want from Ji Chen.

At the end of the day, she was really afraid that Ji Chen, the only one who stayed by her side, would leave her side and return to Jiang He and Ji Gao’s side.

Then, she would be left alone again.

Chu An seemed to sense Gu Xiao’s uneasiness and tightened his grip on Gu Xiao’s hand, as if he was using this method to tell Gu Xiao that no matter what, he would always be by her side and accompany her.

Perhaps because Ji Chen was still busy at this time, after Gu Xiao sent the message, the other party did not reply immediately.

During this period of waiting, Gu Xiao also understood that no matter why Ji Chen chose to help Jiang He in this way, she would not alienate Ji Chen because of this..
