Chu An looked at Gu Xiao’s angry expression and couldn’t help but frown.
“Why don’t I contact Big Brother and Dad now and ask…”
Before he could finish his words, Gu Xiao shook her head in refusal. Because Gu Xiao knew that if they really did not care about Ji Chen’s wishes and helped him, even if they were kind-hearted, it would affect Ji Chen’s attitude.
Ji Chen would not fall out with them because of this, but it would still be striking him a psychological blow.
Gu Xiao kept thinking about how to help Ji Chen, and even ignored Chu An, who was at her side. Fortunately, Chu An also knew Gu Xiao’s personality and didn’t feel dissatisfied because he was being ignored.
After a while, a glint flashed across Gu Xiao’s eyes. She turned to look at Chu An. “Does Jiang He know that Brother was banned by the Ji Group?”
Hearing Gu Xiao’s words, Chu An was stunned for a moment. Then, he immediately realized Gu Xiao’s plan.
He recalled the news he had heard before and shook his head. “Jiang He probably doesn’t know.”
Ever since going through the matter of Ji Gao having an affair and an illegitimate child, and the Ji Group had changed owners, Jiang He’s attention to the Ji Group had decreased a lot.
After the news of how Ji Gao had swapped the children was exposed in the circle, there was no lack of noblewomen who were jealous of Jiang He’s marriage and happiness previously, an they repeatedly mentioned this matter in front of her, making Jiang He very annoyed to want to appear in the circle of noblewomen.
Now, Jiang He spent most of her time in the Ji family’s villa, causing trouble for Ji Gao, and so on. She was really not very clear about the news from the outside world.
In addition, the target this time was Ji Chen. Old Master Ji and Ji Gao wanted to hide it from Jiang He, so they naturally would not let this news reach Jiang He’s ears.
Hearing Chu An’s answer, Gu Xiao’s eyes lit up even more.
“Since it’s not easy for us to help, wouldn’t it be better to find someone else to help?” Gu Xiao said meaningfully.
Although most of Jiang He’s attention was on Ji Yao when she was still by Jiang He’s side, this did not mean that Jiang He did not value Ji Chen.
However, because Ji Chen had a cold personality when facing Jiang He, and with Ji Yao sowing discord, the relationship between Jiang He and Ji Chen seemed to be more distant.
However, in Jiang He’s heart, Ji Chen had a status that no one could compare to.
Even if Ji Gao, when he had yet to reveal his true colors, asked Jiang He to choose between him and Ji Chen, Jiang He would stand by Ji Chen’s side without hesitation.
Moreover, if it was them helping, they could only help Ji Chen indirectly.
However, if they let Jiang He take action, they might be able to directly resolve the situation of Radiant being banned by the Ji Group.
Chu An thought about it and couldn’t help but nod in agreement with Gu Xiao’s plan.
“That’s even better. 1’11 arrange for someone to do it immediately.”
Gu Xiao smiled slightly. “Then I’ll leave this matter to you.”
Chu An lowered his eyes and looked at Gu Xiao’s red lips that were opening and closing as she spoke. His gaze darkened a lot. Gu Xiao sensed danger and reached out to grab the hand that was already on her waist.
“You want a reward?” Gu Xiao asked gently, with a hint of seduction.
Chu An nodded and lowered his head, intending to directly receive his reward. However, Gu Xiao directly stretched out her hand and pushed him away.
She stood up and looked down at Chu An. “You can ask me for a reward after you’ve done the job.”
As she spoke, she walked upstairs without looking back.
Chu An sat on the sofa and looked at Gu Xiao’s back. His lips curled up slightly, and the expression in his eyes became darker and darker.
In the afternoon, Jiang He sat on the sofa in the living room with nothing to do. She looked at the sunlight outside and did not know what to do.
Previously, she could still go out to attend banquets in high spirits, but whenever she thought of the teasing and meaningful gazes at the banquet, Jiang He gritted her teeth in hatred. As for the instigator, Ji Gao, she wanted nothing more than to bite off a piece of his flesh to vent her hatred.
Now that her company was gone, and there was no banquet she wanted to attend, she didn’t even know what she should do every day. The only thing to do was go in a daze.
If this continued, she even suspected that she would go crazy one day.
Jiang He sat on the sofa and thought dejectedly for a while. In the end, she forced herself to perk up.
The sun was so bright today. She should go to the garden to take a look..
