After Ji Gao comforted her, although Jiang He still couldnt stand Gu Xiao, she wouldnt scold her every time she saw her.

After a short period of peace, Gu Xiao welcomed her first winter break since she had entered high school.

The closer it was to the new year, the busier Ji Gao and Ji Chen were. An invitation to a banquet was also sent to the Ji Family.

The butler immediately sent the invitation to Jiang He. The moment Jiang He saw the invitation, her eyes lit up.

When Ji Gao returned at night, Jiang He immediately told him about this.

The other party invited our family. Although I dont like Gu Xiao, shouldnt we bring Gu Xiao along this time?

Upon hearing Jiang Hes words, Ji Gao stopped what he was doing and looked up at Jiang He strangely.

Jiang He did not seem to notice Ji Gaos gaze and continued, Gu Xiao has been back in the Ji Family for so long, but she has never gone out with us. If we dont bring Gu Xiao out, Im worried that rumors will spread behind our backs. It wont be good for the Ji Group either.

Ji Gaos eyes flashed as he tacitly agreed with her words.

When he first acknowledged Gu Xiao, Gu Xiao had brought a lot of trouble to the Ji Group. Naturally, he did not like Gu Xiao, so he had never thought of holding a banquet for her return.

For such a long time, the Ji family had not expressed anything about Gu Xiao. He had also heard some rumors outside, but it did not harm the Ji Group, so he did not care.

But this time, bringing Gu Xiao to the banquet seemed to be a good choice.

When Ji Gao thought of this, he stood up and walked to Jiang Hes side. He hugged Jiang Hes waist and said gently, Heer, youre still the one whos more attentive. Then, we will bring Gu Xiao along this time!

Then should I prepare the attire and other matters too?

Ji Gao nodded matter-of-factly. Of course. Heer can arrange it.

After hearing Ji Gaos words, Jiang He smiled at Ji Gao. After he turned around, the smile on her face darkened.

It wasnt until the day of the banquet that Jiang He stopped Gu Xiao, who was about to go upstairs.

The Jiang family is holding a banquet. I know that you dont know much about gowns since you came from the countryside, so Ive already prepared the gown for you. Change into it quickly and well be ready to leave.

As Jiang He spoke, the butler brought two servants to take out the gowns that Jiang He had already prepared.

Gu Xiao stopped in her tracks and looked at Jiang He meaningfully.

What? You dont even know how to wear a gown? Do you need me to send a servant to help you? Jiang He said sarcastically to Gu Xiao.

Ji Yao was standing beside Jiang He and added insult to injury. If Xiaoxiao is willing, I dont mind. I can guide Xiaoxiao in how to wear a gown!

Who wanted to guide Gu Xiao in how to wear a gown?! She just wanted to see Gu Xiao make a fool of herself. If Gu Xiao didnt even know how to wear a gown As Ji Yao thought about this, the smile in her eyes became more and more obvious.

Gu Xiao stood on the spot and quietly watched the two of them perform.

Naturally, the invitation for this kind of banquet could not be given out on the day of the banquet itself. That meant that Jiang He had deliberately hidden it. Her motive was probably so she would be completely unprepared and embarra.s.s herself at the banquet.

It was just that she didnt like this kind of scheming.

Seeing that Gu Xiao did not move, Jiang He spoke again. Dont say that I treat you badly. The gown I prepared for you is a very rare brand!

Upon hearing this, Gu Xiaos gaze landed on the gown that Jiang He had prepared for her.

I havent said anything yet. Why are you so anxious? Gu Xiao rebuked Jiang He and said to the servant, Send the gown to my room.

With that, Gu Xiao turned around and left without waiting for Jiang Hes reaction.

Behind her, Jiang Hes dissatisfied voice could be heard. Look at what she acts like. Ive thought about it carefully for her, but she doesnt appreciate it at all! What kind of person is she?!

Alright, Mom, dont be angry. Xiaoxiao didnt do it on purpose. She just

What? Youre still speaking up for her?!

Of course Im on Moms side.

Their conversation got further and further away, but the coldness in Gu Xiaos eyes did not dissipate at all..
