After Ji Gao returned to his room, he locked the door. After confirming that no one else would come in, he took out his phone, found a contact on WeChat, and sent a message.
Not long after, he received an affirmative answer.
Ji Gao looked at the message on his phone, and a trace of ruthlessness flashed across his face.
Initially, he was still thinking about how to find Gu Xiao. Now, it seemed that even the heavens were helping him!
He could not bear to touch Ji Chen. After all, he was his son. But he had no reservations if it was Gu Xiao. He was the one who gave Gu Xiao life, and now he only wanted a kidney from her. It was already a good deal for Gu Xiao!
Ji Gao thought shamelessly.
With the help of Gu Xiao and Chu An, the news of Gu Xiao and Chu An holding a celebratory feast quickly spread in the circle.
The invitations for the celebratory banquet were issued by the Chu family. For this small invitation, countless people had spent a lot of effort just to get one.
Soon, it was time for the Chu family to hold a celebratory feast for Gu Xiao and Chu An.
This morning, the Chu Family started to get busy. In the evening, the guests who had received the invitation walked in the doors of the Chu residence, one after another.
In this moment, the originally quiet manor became lively.
Guests in suits and gowns casually took a wine glass from the servant’s tray and took a sip from time to time.
People who were familiar with and collaborating with each other stood in groups of twos and threes, chatting with each other and laughing from time to time.
However, most people’s eyes were still wandering around the entire banquet hall, hoping to see the host of their banquet.
Gu Xiao and Chu An stood in a hidden corner on the second floor and sized up the crowd below. Sometimes, they would lower their heads and exchange a few words.
Just as the banquet was about to begin, Chu Zi went upstairs and caught Gu Xiao and Chu An, who were hiding on the second floor.
“The people below are all hoping to chat with you, but they didn’t expect the protagonist to have no intention of going down at ail.” Chu Zi’s teasing voice sounded.
Hearing this, Gu Xiao and Chu An raised their heads at the same time and looked at the source of the voice.
Gu Xiao smiled at Chu Zi, and Chu An directly frowned. “What they want to talk about is nothing but the usual stuff. It’s really a little annoying. Moreover, with you around, the people below won’t be too disappointed.”
After all, Chu Zi had already entered the Chu Corporation and was quite capable. Mr Chu even had the idea of directly handing the Chu Corporation to him.
Now, Chu Zi could be said to be the confirmed heir of the huge Chu Corporation.
If they couldn’t build a relationship with Mr Chu, it was also a good choice to build a relationship with Chu Zi.
Chu Zi raised his eyebrows. “So this is why you’re hiding here and letting me go down to deal with the guests?”
Chu An nodded without hesitation. This self-righteous look made Chu Zi both angry and amused.
Chu An was the only one. If anyone else dared to speak to him like this… the outcome wouldn’t be good.
“Alright, I didn’t come up to argue with you. Dad and Mom are just about to introduce you. You should go down too.”
With that, he went downstairs without waiting for their reaction.
Gu Xiao and Chu An looked at each other. Chu An shrugged. “Let’s go down too.”
Although they did not know how many times they would have to experience such an occasion in the future, they still felt a little resistant to this scene.
Gu Xiao nodded and walked down with Chu An.
The moment the two of them appeared, almost all the guests in the banquet hall looked over.
When they saw that Gu Xiao and Chu An were less than a meter away from each other, their eyes became a little ambiguous.
It seemed like what the circle had always said about Chu An and Gu Xiao dating was true. In addition, this celebratory banquet was for both Gu Xiao and Chu An, so the Chu family’s attitude was clear.
They would have to be even more careful when they were dealing with Gu Xiao in the future.
Mr Chu and Mrs Chu introduced Gu Xiao and Chu An. After praising the two of them or rather Gu Xiao, they let the banquet continue.
Seeing Mr Chu and Mrs Chu’s attitude, the guests below looked at Gu Xiao with even more wariness.
Of course, in their eyes, Gu Xiao had become an important figure who could help them build a relationship with the Chu family.
Just as Gu Xiao and Chu An were getting a little bored, Ji Gao walked in with a few people..
