Chapter 116: Isolation

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Ji Yao edited what happened today and told Jiang He.

In Ji Yao’s description, she accidentally bumped into Gu Xiao’s desk and caused the fountain pen that Ji Chen gave Gu Xiao to drop to the ground, breaking it accidentally.

Even though she said that she would compensate, Gu Xiao was still overbearing and even mobilized her classmates to isolate her.

When Jiang He heard Ji Yao’s words, she was so angry that her face turned red. Jiang He raised her hand and gently stroked Ji Yao’s back.

“Yaoyao, don’t be afraid. I’ll definitely get justice for you. Even if you broke her fountain pen, it’s because you were careless. Besides, you said that you would compensate. It’s just a fountain pen. Gu Xiao is too petty! When Gu Xiao comes back, just see how 1’11 uphold justice for you!”

When Ji Yao heard this, she looked up from Jiang He’s arms and looked at her gratefully.

“Mom, you’re so good to me.”

“Yaoyao, what are you talking about? You’re my only daughter. If 1 don’t treat you well, who else can 1 treat well?”

Jiang He spoke sincerely to Ji Yao and completely forgot that Gu Xiao was her biological daughter. Even if she only had one daughter, this daughter should be Gu Xiao and not Ji Yao.

However, Jiang He did not feel that there was anything wrong with her words.

After school, Chu An brought Gu Xiao to find someone to repair her fountain pen. However, even if they found a skilled craftsman, he still wasn’t able to repair her fountain pen. The tip of the fountain pen was severely damaged, and the patterns on the fountain pen were already distorted. Even if she repaired it, there would still be traces left behind.

Moreover, it could no longer be written witten. It could only maintain the appearance on the surface and it could not be carefully examined even, or the marks would be obvious.

Upon hearing the craftsman’s words, Gu Xiao was disappointed. She knew that this was the best outcome, but in her heart, she could not help but blame herself for not protecting the fountain pen well.

Gu Xiao returned to the Ji residence a little late. After a while, she saw Jiang He sitting aggressively on the sofa in the living room, looking like she was about to denounce her. The impatience in her heart reached a peak.

“Gu Xiao, where did you go today? Yaoyao has been back for so long and you’re only back now?!”

Jiang He reprimanded Gu Xiao before continuing, “1 heard from Yaoyao that Yaoyao only accidentally dropped your fountain pen. How could you mobilize your classmates to isolate Yaoyao?! You and Yaoyao are sisters! It’s fine if you don’t love Yaoyao, but you actually dare to harm her! Apologize to Yaoyao now!”

Gu Xiao was already used to Jiang He finding excuses to teach her a lesson from time to time, so she no longer cared about what Jiang He was lecturing about. However, now that it involved the first gift that Ji Chen gave her, when she heard Jiang He’s indiscriminate words, she only felt anger surging in her heart.

She stopped in her tracks and suppressed the anger in her heart. She turned around and looked at Jiang He. Her dark eyes looked at Jiang He without any emotions.

A chill rose in Jiang He’s heart when she was stared at by Gu Xiao’s questioning gaze. She subconsciously shifted her gaze away.

“Do you know what you’re talking about?” Gu Xiao’s voice was very calm, but it made Jiang He feel uneasy.

“I-Of course I know what I’m talking about! You are isolating Yaoyao and you think that is right?”

“Then did Ji Yao tell you that she deliberately broke my fountain pen? She even refused to admit it?”

Jiang He did not expect the truth to be like this. She really thought that as Ji Yao said, she did not do it on purpose.

Jiang He lowered her eyes slightly and looked at Ji Yao.

Ji Yao looked at Jiang He pitifully, her eyes filled with attachment and pleading.

Jiang He’s heart wavered for a moment, but she steeled her heart. Yaoyao was her daughter. No matter what, she could not watch Yaoyao be bullied by Gu Xiao, that jinx.

With this thought in mind, Jiang He looked at Gu Xiao again with a matter-of-fact expression.

“Even so, so what? It’s just a fountain pen. How can it be more important than Yaoyao? Why are you…”

“In your heart, what else is more important than your Yaoyao!” Gu Xiao did not want to continue listening and directly interrupted Jiang He. The coldness on her face became especially obvious.

“But Jiang He, not everyone can be like you and always care about Ji Yao.. To me, even the soil on the ground is more noble and important than Ji Yao!”
