When Mr. Jiang heard Old Master Ji’s words, his expression improved slightly.

On the other hand, Ji Chen’s expression did not change much when he heard Old Master Ji’s statement, as if all of this had nothing to do with him.

Ji Gao glanced at Ji Chen and Mr Jiang, then looked at Old Master Ji with a pleading look in his eyes.

“Dad, Lin Lin is also your grandson. Even if he can’t inherit the Ji Group, he can still return to the Ji family.”

Ji Lin was like him, and very close to him, totally different from Ji Chen’s cold and aloof nature.

It was only when he was by Ji Lin’s side that he finally felt that he was a father who was needed and admired by his child, and not someone who was forced to suffocate by his own son.

When Old Master Ji heard Ji Gao’s words, his eyes flashed and he hesitated.

After all, Ji Gao was right. Although Ji Lin was an illegitimate child, he was also a descendant of the Ji family. Since he was a descendant of the Ji family, he should return to the Ji family!

Moreover, with him watching, that illegitimate son would probably not be able to cause any trouble!

Ji Gao sensed that Old Master Ji’s attitude had softened, and his eyes lit up. “Dad, 1 guarantee that when Lin Lin returns to the Ji family, he won’t fight with Chenchen for the inheritance rights of Ji Group! As long as Lin Lin can return to the Ji family, that’s fine too! Lin Lin has always wanted to see Grandpa!”

Jiang He, who was still immersed in the betrayal, could no longer bother about the grief in her heart. Hearing Mr Jiang’s accusation just now, she also understood what was most important now.

She retreated from Mrs. Jiang’s arms and stood up abruptly. She glared at Ji Gao and raised her hand to point at him.

“Ji Gao, let me tell you! Don’t even think about bringing that illegitimate son back to the Ji family! The Ji family can only belong to my Chenchen! Don’t think that I don’t know what you’re thinking!”

He just wanted to wait for that illegitimate son to return to the Ji Group and then manipulate things so as to let that illegitimate son enter the Ji Group? At that time, with Ji Gao around, what fear was there that the illegitimate son would not get any benefits?!

Ji Gao, this bastard, would definitely do something in collaboration with that illegitimate son to deal with Ji Chen!

At the thought that Ji Chen might be ostracized by Ji Gao, the look in Jiang He’s eyes became even more ruthless!

“Ji Gao, don’t forget that when we got married, you signed an agreement! As long as you have an affair, you will leave with nothing!” Jiang He looked down at Ji Gao condescendingly. “Ji Gao, put away your petty thoughts! Otherwise, we will divorce immediately!”

Although Jiang He was furious, she still had her last bit of rationality. She knew that with how she had lived with Ji Gao for so long, it was impossible for them to get a divorce.

Even her parents would probably not agree to the divorce. However, this did not mean that Ji Gao could do whatever he wanted!

Old Master Ji’s expression darkened. He did not expect Jiang He to think of that agreement at this time.

Ji Gao glanced at Jiang He and did not take her words to heart. After all, he knew that it was impossible for them to get a divorce now.

He only looked at Old Master Ji pleadingly, hoping that Old Master Ji would agree to him bringing Ji Lin back.

“Yo, why is it so lively? Looks like I came at the right time!”

Just as the few of them were in a stalemate, Gu Xiao’s somewhat ostentatious voice sounded.

Hearing the voice, Ji Chen looked in the direction of the voice. Seeing Gu Xiao swaggering in, a smile appeared in his calm eyes.

The servant beside Gu Xiao looked at the darkened expression of Old Master Ji and lowered her head in fear.

“I’m sorry, Master. We were incompetent and couldn’t stop her.”

“Xiaoxiao, come here.” Before Old Master Ji could say anything, Ji Chen spoke first and waved at Gu Xiao over to him.

Gu Xiao understood what Ji Chen meant and walked towards him obediently.

Seeing the interaction between Ji Chen and Gu Xiao, Old Master Ji felt that his breath was stuck in his chest, and the words he was about to scold Gu Xiao with were stuck in his throat.

He looked at Gu Xiao sitting down beside Ji Chen with a dark expression. He could not understand why his grandson, whom he had always been proud of, would hang out with someone like Gu Xiao and seemed to have a good relationship with her.

After Gu Xiao sat down, she used her left hand to support her chin. Her gaze swept across the few of them and finally stopped on Ji Gao.

“Are you guys discussing the illegitimate child that Ji Gao has outside?” she asked knowingly..
