Chapter 244: End of the Banquet

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

As soon as Gu Xiao said this, Mr Chu and Mrs Chu, who had been hiding in the crowd, immediately gave the surrounding security guards a look.

The security guards immediately rushed forward. Ji Gao wanted to say something to salvage the situation, but the security guards who had seen everything just now would not give Ji Gao such a chance. They directly half-forced and half-threatened Ji Gao out of the manor.

As for the bodyguards who had been brought over by Ji Gao, after understanding what had just happened, they voluntarily left.

After one of the protagonists of the farce just now left, the entire banquet hall became much quieter.

Gu Xiao thought of how Ji Gao had been chased out in a sorry state just now, and the corners of her lips curled up silently.

She retracted her thoughts and pretended to be disappointed in front of all the guests for a while before raising her head in embarrassment to greet the guests today.

“Today, these scandals have delayed everyone’s time. I’m really sorry, 1 would like to apologize…”

Gu Xiao had a smile on her face, but how could the guests present not tell that she was just forcing a smile?

All of a sudden, the guests’ hearts ached even more for Gu Xiao. All of them were cursing Ji Gao in their hearts.

Because of Ji Gao’s scandals, the victim, Gu Xiao, still had to apologize to them. The guests felt that Ji Gao was even more despicable!

Hence, all the guests accepted Gu Xiao’s apology.

They were also worried that their behavior in front of Gu Xiao would be too obvious and cause Gu Xiao to feel heartache, so they pretended that nothing had happened.

After Gu Xiao and Chu An left, they started discussing. However, the protagonist they were discussing, Ji Gao, didn’t have a positive image.

There were even people who had collaborated with the Ji Group who began to consider whether to terminate their contract with the Ji Group. After all, it was too dangerous to work with someone like Ji Gao. Who knew when they would be scammed by Ji Gao?

However… some guests looked at Ji Chen, who was not far away from Gu Xiao. Now that Ji Chen was in charge of the Ji Group, they should be able to continue their collaboration. They had heard of Ji Chen’s reputation. Their opinions of him were more positive and all the people who had worked with him praised him.

For the sake of Ji Chen, it was better not to terminate the contract with the Ji Group for the time being.

The banquet after that was exceptionally lively and cheerful, with everyone cooperating to maintain the mood.

After sending all the guests away, Mr Chu, Mrs Chu, and the rest came to Gu Xiao’s side.

They looked at Gu Xiao with a hint of hesitation in their eyes. However, they thought that Gu Xiao probably didn’t want them to ask too much because of what happened today, so they didn’t say anything to comfort her.

Mrs Chu walked over and held Gu Xiao’s hand. “Xiaoxiao, it’s already so late today. You and Xiao An don’t have to go back. I’ve already instructed the servants to prepare your rooms. How about you rest here tonight?”

Hearing this, Chu An’s sister-in-law also echoed, wanting Gu Xiao to stay today.

Seeing this, Mr Chu gave Chu An a look and walked to the side. Chu An glanced at Gu Xiao, who was surrounded by Mrs Chu and Ji Chen, and left with Mr Chu in relief.

Chu An had just walked to Mr Chu’s side when Mr Chu grabbed his wrist.

“Did you know about this before?”

Chu An didn’t know why Mr Chu suddenly asked about this, but he still nodded. “I know. This video is evidence that Xiaoxiao and I went to look for together.” Upon hearing Chu An’s words, Mr Chu sighed slightly. He hesitated for a while before saying hesitantly, “Then, then with you by her side at that time, would Xiaoxiao feel better?”

Although Mr Chu knew that Ji Gao was not a good person, he had never thought that Ji Gao’s methods would be so sinister! He did not know how Gu Xiao had lived with Ji Gao previously.

Just the thought of Gu Xiao, who was so obedient in front of them, actually bearing so many things in private made his heart ache. He even looked at his youngest son, who had always been precious to him, and felt that his only use was to comfort Gu Xiao.

Previously, Mr Chu and Mrs Chu had only treated Gu Xiao well because of Chu An, but after such a long time of interaction and today’s matter, Mr Chu and Mrs Chu’s hearts ached only because of Gu Xiao..
