Chapter 503: Worry
Chapter 503: Worry
Editor: Henyee Translations
Old Master Ji looked at the completely clueless Ji Gao and felt extremely tired.
Now, he even began to wonder if it was right for him to neglect Ji Gao’s education for the sake of his career. Even if Ji Gao was born stupid, with his guidance from a young age, he would not have ended up like this.
Old Master Ji sighed. “The Ji Group has been competing with the Ming Family for a period of time. The Ji Group can’t afford to be shaken anymore.”
The foundation of the Ji Group was indeed much deeper than that of the Ming Family. However, the previous few confrontations with Gu Xiao had already weakened the foundation of the Ji Group.
In order to suppress the Ming Family, before they could even rest and recover, the Ji Group had invested a lot of resources and time.
Although the Ji Group was the first to retreat, it didn’t necessarily mean that the Ji Group’s situation was much better. They only relied on the previous foundation of the Ji Group to fight against the Ming family.
No matter what, it was time for the Ji Group to recuperate and not continue to target a small company.
Ji Gao still cared about the Ji Gropu. After hearing that the Ji VGroup needed to recuperate, he no longer thought of teaching Gu Xiao a lesson.
Except…
“Dad, if the Ming family knows that Gu Xiao was the one who did it, will they definitely find trouble with her? What if the Ming family chooses to join forces with Gu Xiao to deal with the Ji Group?”
Upon hearing Ji Gao’s words, a glint flashed across Old Master Ji’s eyes and the corners of his lips curled into a cold smile.
“Don’t worry, I’m very familiar with the temperament of the head of the Ming Family.” Old Master Ji’s voice was filled with disdain. “The head of the Ming Family will never join forces with Gu Xiao.”
Seeing how confident Old Master Ji was, Ji Gao did not hesitate any longer. He turned around and left, planning to do as Old Master Ji instructed.
However, he still needed to think about how to inform the Ming family without making them suspect the Ji Group.
Gu Xiao did not know about Old Master Ji and Ji Gao’s plans. Ever since she signed the contract with Bai Song, she had entered a state of idleness.
Other than returning to the dormitory after class, Gu Xiao had been sticking to Chu An the entire time.
However, in the past two days, Gu Xiao realized that something was wrong with Chu An.
Chu An spent more time in a daze, and even when chatting with her, his mind would often wander. From time to time, he would sneak a glance at her, his eyes filled with conflict and confusion.
A few days later, Gu Xiao finally took the initiative to bring Chu An back to the house outside their school.
Gu Xiao pulled Chu An to sit on the sofa. Chu An hadn’t noticed anything amiss, and as usual, he subconsciously reached out to hold Gu Xiao’s waist.
However, this time, Chu An didn’t wrap his arm around Gu Xiao’s waist as easily as before. Gu Xiao even reached out to stop him.
Seeing that Gu Xiao wasn’t willing, Chu An didn’t forcefully wrap his arm around her waist.
After all, even if Gu Xiao was his girlfriend, she had the right to reject him.
He just looked at Gu Xiao in confusion and there was a hint of worry in his voice. “Xiaoxiao? What’s wrong? You look a little pale. Are you feeling unwell?”
Gu Xiao raised her brows and distanced herself from Chu An. It was only when there was enough space for another person to sit between the two of them that Gu Xiao revealed the reason for her actions.
“Shouldn’t I ask you about this?”
Hearing Gu Xiao’s words, Chu An became even more puzzled.
“Ask me? Did 1 do something to make you unhappy?” Chu An’s expression instantly became sincere. “If I did something wrong, Xiaoxiao, you must tell me. I’ll definitely change!”
Chu An vowed to Gu Xiao.
Gu Xiao naturally believed Chu An’s guarantee. After all, Chu An had always done this and had never disappointed her.
She knew that it was best not to beat around the bush when communicating with Chu An, so she didn’t hide anything and directly asked the question she wanted to know.
“You have something on your mind recently,” Gu Xiao said firmly. “And it’s a very important thing.. Shouldn’t you tell me about this?”
