Gu Xiao retreated from Chu An’s arms.
Although her emotions were a little complicated, after experiencing her previous life and rebirth in the ancient times, she could quickly adjust her mentality in the face of these things.
Not to mention, she did not have any expectations for Ji Gao in this life.
Her eyes fell on Ji Chen. “Brother, are you willing to stand on my side?”
Hearing this, Ji Chen threw a strange look at Gu Xiao.
“Isn’t it natural that I should stand up for you?”
It was Ji Gao who lost his biological sister. It was also Ji Gao who betrayed their family.
Moreover, Ji Gao had always been more guarded than doting on him. Since his sister, who was closer to him, wanted to do something to Ji Gao, why shouldn’t he choose to help his sister?
Gu Xiao looked into Ji Chen’s eyes for a few seconds before retracting her gaze.
She lowered her eyes slightly to hide the trace of joy in them.
This was good news for her.
“I haven’t thought of what to do yet,” Gu Xiao said in a low voice. “However, 1 have another matter to ask for your help in.”
“What is it?” Ji Chen asked.
Gu Xiao glanced at the documents about the illegitimate child that Ji Chen had brought with him. Then she turned to Ji Chen and said seriously, “1 hope you can check the illegitimate child’s physical condition.”
After figuring out the cause and effect of her abandonment, she had suspicions about why Ji Gao had spent so much effort to bring her back when she was 18 years old in her previous life.
Ji Chen and Chu An hadn’t experienced their previous lives, so there were some things that they didn’t know, but she remembered them clearly. After Ji Gao brought her back, the first thing he did was to do a health check on her, and even the paternity test was arranged later.
When she was undergoing the health check, she clearly remembered that she had lost a lot of blood. It was not the amount that should be used for a health examination. She still remembered the feeling of losing too much blood, and how her body was cold and weak.
Back then, Ji Gao had swapped her out. Even after the illegitimate child was born, he had never thought of swapping her back. This meant that Ji Gao had completely abandoned her. To be able to make Ji Gao rack his brains to find her after 18 years and have her draw a large amount of blood, the only explanation was probably to use her blood as a match for someone else.
From the looks of it, the only person who could make Ji Gao put in so much effort was probably that illegitimate son outside.
As Gu Xiao thought about it, a trace of darkness flashed across her eyes, and the aura around her became much darker.
Ji Chen did not understand why Gu Xiao asked him to do this, but when he saw Gu Xiao’s determined eyes, he nodded without hesitation.
“Other than this, is there anything else you need me to do?” Ji Chen asked.
Gu Xiao put away the darkness in her eyes and smiled at Ji Chen. “No need for the time being. This is good enough.”
Her company had just started and she was not fully confident that she could compete with Ji Gao. If she completely relied on Ji Chen, it would not be enough to erase the bitterness of her previous life.
When she was strong enough, she still had to go against Ji Gao in the end.
After discussing with Gu Xiao for a while and confirming what he needed to do, Ji Chen got up and left.
Gu Xiao and Chu An saw Ji Chen out of the villa. After seeing Ji Chen’s figure completely disappear before their eyes, they returned to the villa together.
Chu An had been sitting next to Gu Xiao the entire time. His calm gaze landed on the other party, and there was a hint of heartache in his eyes.
Gu Xiao took Chu An’s hand, lowered her eyes, and smiled. “Now that you’re by my side and my brother is willing to stand by my side, it’s enough.” She had never wanted much.
Gu Xiao’s eyelashes fluttered slightly like the wings of a frightened butterfly.
Chu An knew that Gu Xiao might not be completely unaffected, but since she had already said so, he wouldn’t pursue the matter.
Just as Gu Xiao had said, he would always stay by Gu Xiao’s side and accompany her, and that was already enough.
“Yes, I understand,” Chu An agreed softly.
After this matter, all of them seemed to have completely put the matter of Ji Gao’s illegitimate child to the backs of their minds, and were no longer overly concerned about it.
However, Chu An, who had been with Gu Xiao day and night, sensed that Gu Xiao was focusing more attention on the company’s operations.
Gu Xiao had originally planned to take it slow, but now she was a little anxious.
Chu An saw this, but he didn’t say anything. He would only speak up and remind Gu Xiao when the company was moving in the wrong direction or when Gu Xiao was being too hard on herself..
