Chapter 214: Storm

Translator: Henyee Translations    Editor: Henyee Translations

Jiang He did not know how to describe her current mood. Was she sad? Or did she regret it?

Thinking about it carefully, even if she knew the truth now, she still could not bring herself to have any maternal love for Gu Xiao. Thinking of all the things Gu Xiao had done, she still felt disgusted and resistant.

But… what if Gu Xiao had grown up by her side?

Then she would definitely love Gu Xiao as much as she loved Ji Yao. Gu Xiao and Ji Chen’s relationship might not be as distant and awkward as Ji Yao and Ji Chen’s. Her children might even be happy.

She had to admit that Gu Xiao was really as smart as her brother. If Gu Xiao had grown up by her side, she might not have ended up like this, and her company would not have gone bankrupt!

Her life would also be more relaxed!

However… there were no ifs.

Her relationship with Gu Xiao would not be as close as hers and Ji Yao’s, and she would not break the ice with Gu Xiao because of this.

This was all Ji Gao’s fault! It was all Ji Gao’s own selfish interests that caused mother and daughter to fall out! All of this was Ji Gao’s fault. She was also the victim! She was the biggest victim!

As she thought about it, the expression in Jiang He’s eyes became darker and darker, like a storm brewing at the bottom of the dark sea.

“Where is Ji Gao now?” Jiang He’s voice was abnormally cold.

The butler had already sensed that something was wrong with Jiang He’s mood at the beginning. When he heard Jiang He’s words, he immediately replied, “Madam, Master has been at the old residence recently.” He did not go out to meet his lover!

Jiang He’s eyes flashed, and the corners of her lips curled up.

The old residence? It seemed that Ji Gao was still unwilling to give up on having his son taking power! In that case, she would help her son and completely make Ji Gao give up his intentions.

“Prepare the car immediately and bring me to the old residence!”

Seeing that Jiang He was about to explode, the butler did not dare to delay. After responding, he hurriedly went out to make arrangements. After the driver and car were ready, he returned to the villa to inform Jiang He that they were ready.

Jiang He calmly got into the car and asked the driver to start the engine.

As the butler watched the car gradually drive away with Jiang He, he prayed in his heart that nothing major had happened.

Jiang He’s eyes were numb as she looked at the scenery that kept falling past the window. There was no reaction at all. It was only when the driver mentioned the old residence that Jiang He’s listless eyes moved.

She got out of the car and in a few steps, had reached the old residence.

The servants in the old residence all recognized Mrs Ji, so Jiang He naturally would not be stopped and she was allowed to walk towards the villa.

Before Jiang He got close to the villa, she heard Ji Gao’s cautious voice.

“Dad! Ji Chen is quite capable, but he is still young and can’t make decisions for many things. He might panic easily when something big happens. I don’t need to go back to that position. I will go back to the company and watch Ji Chen from the side. If anything happens, there will still be someone for him to discuss it with. What do you think?”

Upon hearing this, Jiang He’s expression at the door turned even colder.

“Nothing much! I know Chenchen’s ability very well. You don’t have to say anything else. I won’t let you return to the company. Instead of persuading me to retract my orders here, it’s better to reflect on the ridiculous things you did!”

Old Master Ji’s voice was filled with disappointment. He looked at Ji Gao with dissatisfaction.

It was fine if he did those ridiculous things; he just had to hide them well. This stupid idiot, on the other hand, did not hide the ridiculous things he did and even made it known to everyone. How could he help him suppress the news!

In the end, it was because he was too stupid!

During this period of time, in order to return to the company, Ji Gao’s skin had become much thicker. After being scolded by Old Master Ji, he also resisted the pressure and wanted to plead for mercy for himself again.

However, before he could say anything, Jiang He, who was standing at the door, could not wait any longer. She spoke first.

“Dad! You have to stand up for me! Ji Gao did more than this!” As Jiang He spoke, she walked up to Old Master Ji in tears. “Dad! Back then, when Gu Xiao and Yaoyao were exchanged, it wasn’t only that f***ing couple from the Gu family’s fault! This was all caused by Ji Gao!”

As Jiang He spoke, she even wailed a few times, making Old Master Ji extremely annoyed. He did not even realize what Jiang He meant at first.

After she cried a few more times, Old Master Ji finally understood.

He stared at Jiang He sharply.. “Jiang He! You can’t say such things randomly! Who exactly spread the rumors to you!”
