Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Seeing the intention in Mr Jis expression, Gu Xiao knew that she must have been like merchandise that he had calculated the value of in his mind. However, it did not matter. Anyway, she was already used to it, right?

Xiaoxiao, are you really going back? Chu An couldnt stand it anymore after watching their exchange. He approached Gu Xiao and asked in a low voice, his eyes filled with reluctance.

Gu Xiao was also reluctant, but she felt that it would be more beneficial for her to take revenge after returning to the Ji family. Its fine. Although Ive returned to the Ji family, we can still meet in school.

Since Gu Xiao had already said so, Chu An could only agree. Alright, this will always be your home. Your fingerprint is already recorded in the memory of the door lock. You can come back anytime. Im always here.

Yes! Gu Xiao nodded heavily.

While Chu An and Gu Xiao were talking, Mr Ji was also sizing him up.

He had definitely heard of the second young master of the Chu family. After all, he had the entire Chu family behind him. If Gu Xiao married him in the future, the Ji family would also have the help of the Chu family. At that time, they would definitely be able to rise to another level.

This was also an important reason why Mr Ji couldnt wait to find Gu Xiao and acknowledge her as his daughter.

After Gu Xiao finished talking to Chu An, she asked Mr Ji, Ill go pack my things and then well leave.

Theres no need to pack up! The moment Gu Xiao finished speaking, Mr Ji stopped her.

Gu Xiao frowned in confusion and asked, Why?

After hearing Gu Xiaos question, Mr Ji smiled and said ingratiatingly, Ive already gotten someone to arrange your accommodations. Everything is ready. You just have to follow me and move in.

After hearing Mr Jis words, Gu Xiao snorted softly. She had to admit that Mr Ji really valued benefits. In her previous life, not to mention preparing items, even her residence was only a temporary storeroom that he got the servants to tidy up after she arrived at the Ji residence.

After she followed Mr Ji to the Ji residence, Gu Xiao realized that he had not simply prepared a place to stay. Instead, he had arranged a very luxurious room for her. All kinds of smart and high-tech things were spread throughout the room. Everything she needed for daily use was arranged one by one. He was even afraid that she would not like it, so he had prepared different types for her to choose from.

Compared to the simple and messy storeroom of her previous life, there was a world of difference.

However, the more she compared them, the colder Gu Xiaos heart became.

Mr Ji did not notice Gu Xiaos abnormality. At this moment, he was still delighting in the beautiful future in his mind. After showing Gu Xiao around, he said to her, From now on, you are a member of the Ji family. Oh right, you have to change your name too. Now

However, before Mr Ji could say anything, Gu Xiao interrupted him. No! If I do, I wont be returning to the Ji Family.

Mr Ji frowned when he heard this. He suppressed his anger and asked, Why not? Do you want to take the surname of two parents who are human traffickers?

Compared to Mr Jis excitement, Gu Xiao was much calmer. Im just used to this name. After all, Ive been using this name for 16 years. Its as if its carved into my body.

After saying this, Gu Xiao paused and looked up into Mr Jis eyes. This is also a symbol that you lost me for 16 years.

Mr Ji unconsciously took two steps back and avoided her gaze. When he realized that he was actually afraid of a 16-year-old child, his expression stiffened and he said with a dark expression, Fine.

After that, Mr Ji said, Ill go and supervise the servants to see if things have been done well. Then, he strode away. At the same time, he kept regretting in his heart. Thinking how he had subconsciously felt frightened just now, he felt embarra.s.sed.

After Mr Ji left, Gu Xiao walked out of the room. After all, after such a long time, she felt a little hungry.

Although a long time had pa.s.sed, because she had lived here before, muscle memory brought Gu Xiao to the kitchen smoothly to see if there was anything to eat.

As soon as Gu Xiao walked in, she saw Li Feng smiling and said respectfully, Miss Gu Xiao, what would you like to eat? Ill make it for you now.

Li Feng was the Ji familys long-term chef. In her previous life, she often followed Ji Yao and bullied her. She prepared leftovers for her, placed weeds and insects, and made food for her that she was allergic to..
