Old Master Ji’s expression froze for a moment when Mr. Jiang saw through his thoughts and pointed it out. However, after so many years, he had seen many storms and waves and quickly recovered.

He smiled awkwardly at Mr. Jiang. “Brother, what are you talking about? Ji Gao did something wrong, so he naturally has to apologize to Xiao He. Whatever he does, it would not be too much.”

When Mr. Jiang saw that his daughter had gradually stopped crying, his heart calmed down a little.

Hearing Old Master Ji’s words, he secretly sneered, but he did not show it on his face.

After all, the Jiang family and the Ji family had a deep relationship and had many collaborations. Jiang He and Ji Gao’s marriage was not just a matter between the two of them, but also a matter between two families and two corporations. They could not be careless, nor could they really fall out completely.

Mr. Jiang glanced at Ji Gao, who was standing at the side in a daze, looking like he did not know what to do. He snorted coldly in his heart.

“I don’t think Ji Gao is sincerely apologizing. There’s no need to say anything else. It’s better to think of a way to resolve this matter.”

Just then, Ji Chen, who had arrived late, finally appeared in front of them.

Seeing Ji Chen’s figure, Old Master Ji’s eyes flickered with a trace of darkness. On the other hand, Mr. and Mrs. Jiang’s eyes lit up when they saw Ji Chen’s figure.

Old Master Ji had been paying attention to Mr. and Mrs. Jiang’s expressions. Seeing this, he hurriedly waved at Ji Chen.

“Xiaochen! Why are you here at the old family residence at this time? Do you miss Grandpa?”

Ji Chen saw that Ji Gao’s face twisted for a moment when he appeared, but the other party had lowered his head, so no one else noticed.

If he had not paid special attention to Ji Gao, he would have overlooked it as well.

Ji Chen understood what Ji Gao was thinking at this moment. He was just worried that Ji Chen would snatch away the position of the CEO of Ji Group. As he thought of this, a trace of coldness flashed across his eyes.

“I followed my parents here.” Ji Chen explained to Old Master Ji as he walked towards him.

Hearing this, Old Master Ji’s gaze fell on Ji Gao for a moment, but he quickly retracted it and looked at Ji Chen.

“Xiao Chen, you already know about these things?”

Ji Chen sat down not far away from Old Master Ji. Hearing what the other party said, he could not help but nod.

“If Grandpa is talking about how Dad has an illegitimate child outside, then I naturally know. 1 also know that the illegitimate child is a boy who is already 18 years old and is very well protected by Dad.”

He said calmly, as if he did not think that there was anything wrong with his words.

When Mr. and Mrs. Jiang heard this, the malice in their eyes when they looked at Ji Gao became even more obvious.

“Ji Gao! What are you trying to do?! Don’t tell me you want to bring that child back to the Ji family and have him enter the Ji Group?!”

Originally, they thought that the illegitimate child was just a girl… If it was a girl, she would not pose much of a threat to Ji Chen.

But now, that illegitimate child was not only a boy, but he also seemed to be very doted on by Ji Gao. What did Ji Gao want to do? Wait for the child to grow up and bring him back to enter the Ji Group to share a piece of the pie with their grandson?!

After questioning Ji Gao, Mr. Jiang did not wait for the other party to reply and looked directly at Old Master Ji.

“Brother Ji, how do you plan to deal with this matter? Do you really want Ji Gao to bring that illegitimate son back?” At the end of Mr. Jiang’s words, there was a hint of threat and malice.

Old Master Ji did not expect this matter to be so troublesome. That illegitimate child was actually an adult son!

However, although he liked the Ji family to have more descendants, he still thought more highly of Ji Chen, whom he had watched grow up. Ji Chen was the heir of the Ji Group that he had set his eyes on.

Old Master Ji thought to himself. From the corner of his eye, he glanced at Jiang He, who seemed to have yet to figure out the situation.

This woman was indeed stupid. So much was already said, but she did not say the most important news and tell him that the illegitimate child was a boy!

He grumbled in his heart, but he did not show it on the surface.

“I don’t dare to say that.. Ji Group must belong to our Ji Chen! Only Ji Chen is the heir of the Ji Group that I have set my mind on! I’m not old and muddle-headed enough to let others snatch my dear grandson’s inheritance!”
