An Empress's Return to the Present: The Real Young Lady's Strong Comeback

Chapter 506: Departure
Editor: Henyee Translations

Under Gu Xiao’s constant persuasion, Chu An still decided to agree to this opportunity to go to the laboratory with his mentor.

After the two discussed, Gu Xiao seemed to have finally thought of something and pulled away from Chu An again.

“Have you told Uncle and Auntie about this?”

Upon hearing Gu Xiao’s words, Chu An’s body stiffened for a moment. Then, he blinked his eyes and looked at Gu Xiao blankly.

Seeing Chu An’s reaction, Gu Xiao understood.

For the past two days, Chu An had probably been completely conflicted about whether he should go or not. He had never thought of discussing it with Mr Chu and Mrs Chu.

Gu Xiao glanced at Chu An helplessly, then took out her phone to look at the time. She turned to Chu An and said, “At this time, Uncle and Auntie shouldn’t be resting yet. Do you plan to tell them today or tomorrow?”

“Teacher said he’s leaving school the day after tomorrow to go to the laboratory. I’ll talk to them about it today.” Chu An pursed his lips and explained to Gu Xiao.

Upon hearing this, Gu Xiao tightened her grip on her phone for a moment. Before Chu An noticed, she relaxed again.

She smiled at Chu An. “If that’s the case, we should indeed tell Uncle and Auntie today.”

With that, she lowered her eyes and started to video call Mr Chu and Mrs Chu.

It was one thing for Chu An to leave, but after knowing that Chu An would leave so soon, Gu Xiao couldn’t help but feel a little empty.

However, in order not to let Chu An see that she was worried, Gu Xiao didn’t show her disappointment.

When Mr Chu and Mrs Chu found out that Chu An was going to the laboratory with his mentor, they had no intention of stopping his at all. They even raised their hands in agreement.

The next day, Mr Chu, Mrs Chu, Chu Zi, and Wei Xuexi all came to A University. Taking advantage of the fact that Chu An and Gu Xiao had no classes, they gathered together to send Chu An off.

On the third day, under Gu Xiao’s gaze, Chu An and his mentor got into the car leaving A University.

After Chu An left, Gu Xiao also moved back to her dormitory from the house outside A University.

Inside a house without Chu An, she always felt empty. She even felt that Chu An seemed to still be by her side. When she realized that he was not there, she felt even more lonely.

Just as Gu Xiao moved back to the dormitory, the head of the Ming family, Ming Xuan, also found out that the news of Ji Gao evading taxes was released by Gu Xiao under Ji Gao’s special arrangement.

When the assistant beside Ming Xuan received this news, he carefully glanced at Ming Xuan and asked tentatively, “President Ming, do we need to do anything about this?”

Mingxuan threw the documents his assistant gave him aside and even relaxed against the back of the chair.

Ming Xuan’s lips curled into a mocking smile. “No matter how well they hid this news, I know that the old man from the Ji family must have wanted me to know. That’s why this news reached my ears.”

Hearing Ming Xuan’s words, the assistant quickly lowered his head, not daring to look at Mingxuan.

After all, any employee who worked in the Ming Corporation knew that Ming Xuan and the Ji family could be said to be arch-enemies.

Fortunately, Ming Xuan didn’t need his assistant to reply, so he didn’t care about his assistant’s attitude. He snorted coldly and seemed to be talking to himself.

“Does that old man from the Ji family really think that he knows me so well? How funny. If he wants me to deal with Gu Xiao, why don’t I work with Gu Xiao directly to deal with the Ji Gropu? Does he really think that I’m still the silly kid who couldn’t figure out who the enemy was back then?!”

He gritted his teeth and said. It was obvious that he had hated Old Master Ji for a long time.

After a while, he said to his assistant, “Pay attention to the matters of the Ji family and Gu Xiao. There’s no need to do anything. However, if Gu Xiao wants to make a move on the Ji Group, we’ll help her secretly.”

Although they had caused a huge ruckus with the Ji Group previously and caused the Ming Group to lose a portion of their profits, it was not easy for them to face the Ji Group head-on now. However, they could still do some things in the dark.

The assistant nodded and left Ming Xuan’s office.

Gu Xiao did not know that Old Master Ji was plotting against her in secret. It was only because certain people were not cooperating that her life could continue to be peaceful.

However, before her life could stay calm for a long time, she heard another piece of news from Jiang Meng and Wei Shu that she could not miss no matter what.

Gu Xiao looked at Jiang Meng and Wei Shu with a grave expression. “You just said that a new energy car called Vitality is being promoted?”
