Chapter 132: Departure

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Ji Gao’s speed did not disappoint Gu Xiao.

After Old Master Ji woke up and rested for a few days, Ji Gao found Gu Xiao.

“Follow me to the study.” Ji Gao pretended to be regretful as he said to Gu Xiao. Without waiting for the other party’s reaction, he turned around and left. He was not worried that Gu Xiao would not follow him.

Gu Xiao’s eyes lit up with interest as she followed him.

Ji Gao sat behind the desk and supported his chin with his cupped hands. He raised his head at Gu Xiao.

“Just close the door and sit down.”

Gu Xiao followed Ji Gao’s instructions and closed the door. After sitting down, she crossed her arms over her chest and looked at Ji Gao indifferently.

Since the other party did not speak, she had no intention of speaking either.

In the end, Ji Gao couldn’t help but speak first.

He still looked at Gu Xiao with a regretful and helpless expression. “Xiaoxiao, 1 know you’re dissatisfied with the Ji family because you were misplaced, but you can’t disrespect your grandfather. Now that your grandfather has woken up, there’s not a day when he won’t tell me to chase you out of the Ji family. Look at what you’ve done!”

After saying that, Ji Gao even looked at Gu Xiao with disappointment. It was as if he was really a father who was in a difficult position stuck between his daughter and father. However, the coldness in his expression was not completely concealed, so Gu Xiao could easily tell.

Gu Xiao looked at Ji Gao’s performance. There was no change in her expression. She even felt a little bored.

“Alright, you don’t have to pretend to be pitiful in front of me. 1 know what kind of person you are. You should just tell me what you plan to do. Don’t waste our time.”

Seeing that Gu Xiao was stubborn, Ji Gao’s face darkened for a moment, but he quickly recovered.

It was unknown if it was because of Gu Xiao’s words or because he felt that there was no need, but Ji Gao restrained the pretentious expression on his face and became calm.

“This is your fault. Now that the old man has spoken, I can only follow his instructions. The Ji family can only let you leave.”

Ji Gao stared intently at Gu Xiao’s expression, trying to find a trace of reluctance or rejection on her face.

This was the best opportunity. If he could not chase Gu Xiao away this time, there would probably be no reason for him to do so next time.

He had already calculated in his heart how he should persuade Gu Xiao if she was really unwilling.

However, before he could finish speaking, he heard Gu Xiao say in an unusually calm voice, “Okay! Sure.”

Ji Gao could not react in time. Or rather, he did not believe that Gu Xiao would leave so willingly.

He lowered his hands and leaned forward slightly. “What did you just say?”

“I said that I agree with your decision to let me leave the Ji family,” Gu Xiao repeated.

Surprise flashed across Ji Gao’s eyes. “Really?”

“Of course!” After Gu Xiao finished speaking, she crossed her left leg over her right leg. “However, shouldn’t you compensate me for chasing me out of the Ji family?”

Ji Gao did not care about Gu Xiao’s disrespect in front of him. As long as Gu Xiao was willing to leave, it was already a good thing for him.

He could forgive these small actions.

“Of course! You’re too young. I have to compensate you and support your living in the future. I’ve already calculated and transferred a company under my name to you. You can rest assured that this company is still profitable! You…”

“You know me. Don’t say such nonsense.” Gu Xiao interrupted Ji Gao. “Whether it’s a company that’s still incurring losses or profits, I don’t want it. It’s better to have cash in hand.”

If it was really a company, those companies were all filled with Ji Gao’s people. Who knew what would happen if she accepted the company?

It wasn’t like she really didn’t know anything.

Seeing that Gu Xiao had rejected his suggestion, Ji Gao’s expression finally darkened.

However, when he thought of the trouble Gu Xiao had caused and the pressure from Li Wen, Ji Gao still wanted to hear what Gu Xiao had to say.

“How much do you want?”

Hearing this, Gu Xiao put down her left leg and leaned back.

“It’s not much. How much did you spend to invite me back to the Ji family last time? If you let me leave this time, you’ll double it for me,” Gu Xiao said casually, as if 1.8 billion was just a few hundred or over a thousand..
