Jiang He naturally took note of the online netizens’ revelry.
Over the past few days, her company had taken up all her time and energy. She had thought of countless ways to save her company, but she could only watch helplessly as her company declined bit by bit.
And the people who had caused such an outcome were the people online and that damned Gu Xiao!
With this thought in mind, Jiang He’s eyes were filled with malice.
If Gu Xiao was in front of her, she would probably want nothing more than to eat her alive, drink her blood, pull out her tendons, and grind her bones to dust!
The company that she had worked so hard to manage for so many years had actually disappeared just like that. How could she accept this?!
The more Jiang He thought about it, the more she felt that she could not let this matter rest.
But now that Ji Chen was standing on Gu Xiao’s side and even Ji Gao was not willing to do anything to Gu Xiao, how should she deal with Gu Xiao?
Hence, when Gu Xiao returned home from school, she realized that Jiang He was staring at her sinisterly. However, she would no longer rush in front of her impulsively and act hysterically towards her.
Although Gu Xiao did not know the reason for Jiang He’s change, she was still happy to relax.
“Mom, I know about your company. It’s all my fault. If it weren’t for me, Xiaoxiao wouldn’t have fallen out with you, and Xiaoxiao wouldn’t have caused your company to go bankrupt.”
Ji Yao’s eyes were filled with tears, as if she was very sad that Jiang He had gone bankrupt in this lifetime.
“What does this have to do with you?” Jiang He’s expression changed again when she faced Ji Yao. She even comforted Ji Yao. “You can’t take the blame for Gu Xiao. Yaoyao didn’t do anything wrong. It’s all Gu Xiao’s fault!”
“Mom, if Xiaoxiao hears this…”
“So what if she heard it? It’s best if she heard it! We should let her hear it!” Jiang He said through gritted teeth.
Ji Yao leaned against Jiang He’s shoulder affectionately and looked smugly at Gu Xiao, who was not far away.
So what if Gu Xiao was Jiang He’s biological daughter? Wasn’t she still inferior to her? Even her biological mother hated her so much. She didn’t know how the other party had the face to continue staying.
Gu Xiao naturally heard Jiang He’s words and saw Ji Yao’s gaze.
However, to her, these two people were just clowns. She really did not have to take them to heart.
Jiang He’s bankruptcy was only her first step. Her goal was Ji Gao!
Thinking of this, Gu Xiao smiled coldly at Ji Yao. After obtaining an angry look from the other party, she calmly went upstairs.
During dinner that night, Jiang He mentioned this matter again at the dining table, wanting Ji Gao to punish Gu Xiao.
After Ji Gao swallowed the food in his mouth, he calmly glanced at Jiang He.
“Don’t talk about this anymore. Just stay at home and be Mrs. Ji. Don’t think too much about anything else.” Impatience flashed across Ji Gao’s eyes, but his words to Jiang He were unusually gentle. “Besides, I’ll be more at ease if you’re at home. Don’t worry, I’ll take good care of you and won’t let you suffer any grievances.”
Jiang He was very satisfied with Ji Gao’s attitude.
However, when she looked at Gu Xiao, who looked completely uncaring, she still could not take it lying down.
“But Gu Xiao…”
Ji Gao reached out and patted Jiang He’s arm.
“Alright, since this matter is already a foregone conclusion, you don’t have to worry about it anymore. Are you worried that I won’t treat you well?”
Jiang He wanted to say something more, but as she immersed in Ji Gao’s gentle gaze, she did not say anything else.
When Ji Gao saw that Jiang He had settled down, he was satisfied and said some more sweet nothings before continuing to eat.
He naturally would not let Jiang He continue to cause trouble. Jiang He was just a sacrifice that he had sacrificed. Now that Jiang He’s company had gone bankrupt, there were fewer people who would be focusing on Ji Yao.
And because of this, he had also calmed Li Wen down. He had even used the sympathy for him on the Internet to make the Ji Group earn a lot.
Even without Gu Xiao’s threat, he would still pacify Jiang He.
Gu Xiao sat opposite them and looked at Ji Gao and Jiang He’s “lovey-dovey and sweet talk”. She found it funny.
She knew very well what kind of person Ji Gao was. She had also seen the current situation of the Ji Group.
Only Jiang He would believe Ji Gao’s nonsense!
But… so what?
It was impossible for her to take the initiative to remind Jiang He either..
