Chapter 236: Sick

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Gu Xiaos expression was indifferent. Then are you willing to explain why you gave me this billion?

As soon as these words were spoken, Ji Gaos expression froze, and his face turned a little ugly. However, he quickly reacted and adjusted his expression. Just as he was about to talk about kins.h.i.+p with Gu Xiao, he heard Gu Xiao continue.

Back then, when I was underage, you wanted to directly chase me out of the Ji residence. You didnt want me to stay in the Ji residence anymore, nor did you want me to get any of the Ji Familys things in the future. This billion was just compensation for chasing me out of the Ji Family back then!

When Gu Xiao finished speaking, Ji Gaos expression was already indescribably ugly.

The surrounding guests were like fence-sitters. After Gu Xiao finished speaking, their subtle gazes landed on Ji Gao again.

The guests started whispering again.

If thats really the case, then Ji Gao is a little too petty. Not only did he not let Gu Xiao get involved with the Ji Group, but he also wanted to chase Gu Xiao out of the Ji family. It seems like this compensation is also what Gu Xiao demanded. If Gu Xiao didnt insist, this compensation it is a question whether there would even be compensation.

To buy out Gu Xiaos relations.h.i.+p with the Ji Group, it will only be a few billion yuan. That Gu Xiao has suffered a loss! The market value of this Ji Group is at least a hundred billion yuan. A few billion yuan is indeed not enough.

Lets not talk about the Ji Group. Just look at the fake daughter of the Ji family. Back then, Ji Gao spent more than a billion yuan on the fake daughter.

He has already spent hundreds of millions on nurturing Ji Yao. In addition, the jewelry, musical instruments, and real estate under Ji Yaos name at that time were more than a billion yuan. He is even so generous to a daughter who is not his own, but he is a little too stingy with his biological daughter.

Thats right. I heard that Gu Xiao wasnt chased out of the Ji family because she had done anything wrong. She just didnt have a good relations.h.i.+p with Ji Yao, and the Ji family doesnt like Gu Xiao.

I see. In that case, if 1 were Gu Xiao, 1 would also cut ties with the Ji family after leaving!

Ji Gao had been so happy when he heard the guests discussions previously, but now, he was so angry when he heard the guests discussions.

He listened to the whispers around him that were disadvantageous to him, and his sharp gaze swept directly across the few guests closest to him.

Among the guests who were swept by his gaze, some of them were collaborating with the Ji Group. They immediately shut their mouths and turned their heads, unwilling to look Ji Gao in the eye.

However, for those who did not cooperate with the Ji Group and would have nothing to request from the Ji Group, they boldly looked back and even glared at Ji Gao.

Because of the guests att.i.tude, Ji Gao was furious. When he saw Gu Xiao looking at him mockingly, the anger in his heart intensified.

Since playing the relations.h.i.+p card from before was useless, he could only choose another method.

Ji Gaos eyes turned and suppressed the anger in his heart. A trace of sorrow appeared on his face.

Xiaoxiao, 1 know that Ive let you down in the past. 1 came to look for you this time because 1 hope that you can go to the hospital to see your grandfather on account of our kins.h.i.+p. Your grandfather is your family after all. Now that hes sick, you have to go and see him.

As Ji Gao spoke, he looked at Gu Xiao expectantly.

When Gu Xiao heard the word hospital, her eyelids twitched. She immediately understood Ji Gaos plan.

Moreover she had never heard of the news of Old Master Jis illness!

She looked at Ji Gao with an unreadable expression. Youre saying that Old Master Ji is sick and wants to see me? She was not even willing to call him grandpa anymore.

When Ji Gao heard Gu Xiaos words, he thought that Gu Xiao believed him and was planning to leave with him. A trace of excitement flashed across his eyes.

He nodded at Gu Xiao. Yes, your grandfather is sick and in the hospital now. I want you to visit him. 1 was wrong previously, but on account of your grandfathers illness, I still hope you can visit him.

As long as he could bring Gu Xiao to the hospital, the preparations he had made for Gu Xiao would come in handy.

In the country, the word filial was also more advocated. Now when it was heard that Old Master Ji was sick, and that his only wish was to meet his biological granddaughter, it was only human nature.

Coupled with Ji Gaos pleading, if Gu Xiao really refused to visit Old Master Ji because of what had happened previously, then if this matter spread, it would probably be a blow to Gu Xiao herself, especially since Gu Xiaos company was in the entertainment industry where public opinion was the most important..
