Ji Gao looked at Gu Xiao with an unreadable expression and had an ominous feeling.

Old Master Ji looked at Gu Xiao impatiently. “How did you know about this?”

Gu Xiao looked at Old Master Ji innocently. Before she could speak, Jiang He said, “It’s all thanks to her. If not for her, I would have been kept in the dark!”

Hearing this, Old Master Ji immediately frowned, and his hatred for Gu Xiao deepened.

Who would have thought that this farce was actually because of this jinx! When he first saw her, he should have chased her out! Or even…

“What exactly is going on!” Old Master Ji said sternly.

Jiang He snorted and did not say anything else.

“It’s nothing. 1 just filmed a television drama about Ji Gao’s scandal,” Gu Xiao said, not feeling that there was anything wrong with her words.

Old Master Ji was stunned for a few seconds before reacting.

His sharp gaze landed on Gu Xiao like a sharp blade. “What do you mean? Don’t you know that family scandals can’t be aired in public?! How dare you make it into a television drama! Stop broadcasting this television drama immediately!”

As long as Old Master Ji thought about how many people had seen their family’s scandal, anger surged in his heart.

He looked at Gu Xiao’s indifferent expression and knew that she would not do as he said.

“Ji Gao! What are you doing! How can you let such a television drama be broadcasted!”

“Dad, 1 tried to stop her, but Gu Xiao…”

Gu Xiao changed her sitting posture and looked at Old Master Ji and Ji Gao playfully. Then, she interrupted Ji Gao.

“Old Master doesn’t have to scold Ji Gao. After all, he can’t decide what I do. The more he stops me, the more 1 want to go against him.”

She deliberately stopped talking. Looking at Old Master Ji and Ji Gao’s ashen faces, Mr Jiang and Mrs Jiang’s expressions became a little meaningful.

She smiled and continued, “Anyway, the television drama has already been broadcasted on Central Television Station. It’s too late for you to stop it. Let’s talk about the matter of the illegitimate child.”

Seeing that things were back on track, Jiang He turned around and looked at Old Master Ji, not giving in at all.

“Dad, I’ve already made myself clear. We can’t let that illegitimate son come back to the Ji family!”

Although Jiang He used to like Ji Yao very much, in her heart, Ji Chen was still the most important.

Now, someone wanted to infringe on her son’s interests… As long as she was around, it was impossible!

“Dad! Lin Lin is also your grandson! On account that Lin Lin has the Ji family’s blood on him, let him return to the Ji family!” Ji Gao looked at Old Master Ji with a pleading expression.

He knew what to say to move Old Master Ji and make him agree to let Ji Lin return to the Ji family.

“Aiya! Old Master, don’t tell me you still don’t know that that illegitimate son has uremia now? I heard that his health isn’t very good now! I wonder if it’s because his parents have committed too many sins and that is why he suffered a backlash!”

As Gu Xiao spoke, she even openly and disdainfully glanced at Ji Gao.

When Ji Gao heard Gu Xiao cursing Ji Lin like this, a trace of malice flashed across his eyes.

“Gu Xiao! He’s your younger brother! How can you say that about your younger brother!” Ji Gao scolded Gu Xiao angrily.

Gu Xiao leaned back with a flamboyant expression. Ji Gao was clearly standing and Gu Xiao was sitting. It should be that Ji Gao’s bearing was stronger, but the bearing around Gu Xiao did not weaken at all.

She did not hide her sneer. “Little brother? I don’t have such a little brother!”

Logically speaking, although Ji Lin had benefited, he was still considered innocent. According to Gu Xiao’s personality, she would not have such malicious intentions towards Ji Lin.

But coincidentally, Ji Lin was in the same school as her. After knowing Ji Lin’s identity, she had also seen him in school.

Just that scene alone had caused her impression of Ji Lin to fall to rock bottom.

When Gu Xiao saw Ji Lin, he was blocking a girl in an empty corner. He even wanted to forcefully compel that girl to do something.

If she and Chu An hadn’t deliberately created a commotion to alarm Ji Lin, who knew what Ji Lin would have done in the end!

At that moment, her disgust for Ji Lin and her hatred for Ji Gao because of him deliberately switching her and Ji Yao instantly occupied Gu Xiao’s heart, making her not have a good impression of Ji Lin at all..
