Chapter 264: Garden

Old Master Ji’s eyes were dark as he said calmly, “Some of the fields that Ji Chen’s company deals in seems to be related to Ji Group. Pass down the word and get people to pay more attention to these aspects. Don’t lose to an outsider.”

The butler lowered his eyes slightly and replied, “Yes.”

Ji Gao was delighted by the “outsider” that Old Master Ji mentioned. He even felt that it might not be long before he could return to the Ji Group.

Ji Gao glanced at Old Master Ji, who had already closed his eyes, then retracted his gaze.

Now that Ji Chen had completely angered Old Master Ji, he would definitely be able to find a chance to go back after this matter was over!

With this thought in mind, Ji Gao felt at ease and bade farewell.

Old Master Ji lazily raised his eyelids and slowly nodded at Ji Gao in response.

After Ji Gao left, Old Master Ji closed his eyes again.

This son had a weak personality. He was willing to be controlled by him because of the Ji Group’s shares, but it was a pity that he was not capable.

And the heir he had nurtured personally, who satisfied him the most, was unwilling to be controlled by him.

Old Master Ji opened his eyes and looked at the garden outside the window.

Under the sunlight, the flowers in the garden seemed to bloom even more gorgeously.

How could those flowers, which had always grown up in the garden, bear the wind and rain outside?

It did not matter if he left now. Once he saw the cruelty of the outside world, Ji Chen would come back obediently and apologize to him, allowing him to do whatever he wanted.

Old Master Ji looked at the bright sun outside and smiled. The sun was clearly so warm, but when one saw the expression on Old Master Ji’s face, he would feel exceptionally cold.

With the police’s announcement and the Ji Group’s intention to suppress it, the popularity of the news on the Internet had dissipated a lot.

Gu Xiao looked at the topic that was originally at the top of the trending searches. In less than a day, it had fallen more than 20 ranks. It seemed like it would even continue to fall. There was no surprise.

The Ji Group would not let this popularity continue, especially after they had already clarified that this matter had no relation to the Ji Group, they would not let the netizens discuss this matter further.

Although it was said that the Internet would always remember, netizens might not have such good memories.

After all, it was only two years ago. Now that it was dug up, some people had already forgotten that two people had passed away because of Rural and Urban.

However… the police announcement had already been released. Even if she continued to hype this up, it would be useless. Therefore, she could only watch helplessly as the popularity decreased bit by bit.

She could not be anxious when dealing with the Ji Group. She had to take it one step at a time.

Gu Xiao looked at the content on the phone with a deep gaze. Her emotionless expression made her look very unapproachable.

However, Chu An seemed to be able to completely block out Gu Xiao’s aura that kept people at arm’s length. He walked out of the kitchen with a plate of peeled fruit.

He placed the plate in front of Gu Xiao and sat down beside her.

He picked up a piece of mango and handed it to Gu Xiao. He said nonchalantly, “How about some fruits? They were just taken out of the fridge.”

The weather in mid-June was still relatively hot. Eating fruits that had just been taken out of the fridge could improve one’s mood.

Gu Xiao raised her eyes and glanced at Chu An. Then, she smiled lightly and ate the mango in Chu An’s hand.

“It tastes good,” she complimented him.

Chu An raised his brows. “Is it because the fruit tastes good, or is it because there’s no need to peel it?”

Meeting Chu An’s questioning gaze, Gu Xiao deliberately pondered for a moment before saying, “Both are good.”

Chu An resigned himself to his fate. He picked up another piece of apple and fed it to Gu Xiao.

“If you think it’s good, then it’s good!”

The two of them sat on the sofa and finished the plate of fruits.

Chu An knew Gu Xiao like the back of his hand. When the fruits on the fruit platter were finished, it would be just enough for Gu Xiao to be refreshed, yet not get tired of the taste of fruits.

Gu Xiao grabbed Chu An’s hand on her waist and played with it like she was playing with a toy. Even with his hand being harassed, Chu An didn’t retract his hand and let Gu Xiao play with it.

She pinched here and there. After a while, seemingly casually, she said, “I want to go back to the village..”
