Ji Chen lowered his head slightly and looked at Ji Gao with a trace of darkness in his eyes. In Ji Gao’s eyes, it was like the other party was mocking him like he was a clown.
As Ji Gao thought of this, the anger on his face became more genuine.
“Dad, just as you think, I do know about the illegitimate child. Do you really think that you are hiding it well?” Ji Chen said with a trace of doubt in his eyes.
However, it had to be said that Ji Gao had indeed hid it very well. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have only realized that something was wrong when his illegitimate son was about to reach adulthood.
However, it was not necessarily true that Ji Gao’s methods of hiding were superb.
If Ji Chen had stayed in the Ji Group and did not choose to start his own business, he would have found out about the illegitimate child long ago when he was working with Ji Gao. He would not have been able to keep it hidden until now.
Ji Gao looked at the condescending Ji Chen with a trace of hatred in his eyes.
He clenched his fists tightly. His neatly trimmed nails were even embedded in his flesh because he had used too much strength. However, the current Ji Gao no longer had the energy to care about this.
He stared at Ji Chen hard, not missing any change in the expression on his face, as if he wanted to see what he was thinking.
However… his plans were destined to not receive a response.
Unable to read Ji Chen’s mind, Ji Gao had to take the initiative to ask, “What exactly do you want to do? Are you going to use this to threaten me? To make me hand over the Ji Group?!”
Towards the end, he seemed to have hit the nail on the head. He could not help but raise his voice, as if this could intimidate Ji Chen and get what he wanted.
Seeing the guarded look on Ji Gao’s face, Ji Chen suddenly chuckled.
He looked at this most familiar stranger in front of him playfully. “If I really wanted this Ji Group, I would have told Grandpa about this long ago when I found out that you had an illegitimate child. After that, even if I didn’t do anything, I’m afraid you wouldn’t be able to appear in the Ji Group anymore.” Towards the end, Ji Chen even purposely looked at Ji Gao and sighed, as if he was regretting something.
Ji Gao secretly gritted his teeth. “Ji Chen! Don’t forget that I am your father! Who talks to their elders like this?!”
Ji Chen stood up straight, and his smile disappeared. The calm air around him also became cold. He looked at Ji Gao, who was getting angrier and angrier, and a dark light flashed across his eyes.
“Dad, since you know that you’re my father, did you think of me as your son when you had an illegitimate child?”
Ji Gao’s lips moved a few times, but he did not say anything.
Seeing Ji Gao like this, Ji Chen restrained his cold aura and became indifferent again.
He looked at Ji Gao indifferently. “Dad, don’t worry. I won’t take the initiative to tell Grandpa about this. But Mom, you should think about how to appease her!”
After all, Jiang He was different from him. He would still hide it for the sake of Gu Xiao’s future plans.
However, if Jiang He found out about this and could not be appeased in time, she would probably throw caution to the wind and seek justice from Old Master Ji.
“You told your mother!” Ji Gao widened his eyes and asked Ji Chen with a hint of fear.
Ji Chen glanced at Ji Gao. “Of course not, but I can’t guarantee that my mother will not hear any rumors from other places.”
Ji Gao naturally knew Jiang He’s character of easily believing rumors. If she really found out, the consequences would be unimaginable!
He lowered his eyes and kept thinking about how to prevent Jiang He from finding out about this, or how to appease her.
Ji Gao was completely immersed in this matter and did not even realize that Ji Chen had left the office.
Just as Gu Xiao was still thinking about how to set up her own Star Brilliance video website, she suddenly received a call from Ji Chen.
When she saw the familiar name on the phone screen, Gu Xiao hurriedly put down her work and answered the call.
“Brother, are you asking me out for a meal?”
As soon as she finished speaking, Ji Chen chuckled.
“Do I look for you just to eat?” Ji Chen joked with a smile in his tone, then continued, “There is an exciting scene to watch, are you interested?”
