An Empress's Return to the Present: The Real Young Lady's Strong Comeback

Chapter 187  Ashamed

Jiang He threw the cushion in her hand at Ji Gao and looked at him angrily.

Ji Gao also knew that in this situation, it was not good for him to show a strong attitude. In addition, the thing that the other party threw over was only a soft pillow, so he did not choose to dodge. Instead, he simply let the pillow hit his face.

Ji Chen was standing in the corner after entering the door. He did not intend to go forward as he looked at the scene in front of him.

Not only did Jiang He throw a pillow, but when she saw that Ji Gao did not dodge, she picked up the pillow beside her and threw it in Ji Gao's direction.

"Ji Gao, you're really good! Why did you hide it from me after so long? You even had an illegitimate child!"

Once Jiang He thought about how her company had gone bankrupt, not only did she receive Zhao Hong's ridicule, but her right to speak in the Ji family had also greatly decreased.

She had even lowered her head and humbled herself in front of Ji Gao, afraid that she would anger Ji Gao.

However, she never expected Ji Gao to have the guts to keep a lover outside! The lover was actually as old as her daughter!

Then why had she served Ji Gao for all these years and humbled herself in front of him?!

When Jiang He thought of the cold treatment she had received recently and the difference in status in the wealthy circle, she was so angry that her eyes instantly turned red.

She took a few big strides towards Ji Gao, raised her hand, and slapped Ji Gao's face hard. Even though Ji Gao's face was red and swollen, she did not feel the slightest heartache.

In the past, she wouldn't have dared to treat Ji Gao like this.

"Why aren't you saying anything now? You know that you've done something wrong, so you don't dare to speak, right? You didn't have such an attitude towards me before. You were so arrogant before! You ignored my pleas completely! Now, say something!"

Ji Gao was annoyed with Jiang He who was behaving like a crazy woman, but he did not dare to show it on his face.

He suppressed the frustration in his heart and looked at Jiang He with a gentle expression. "He'er, I know my mistake. I only did such a thing in a moment of folly. Can you forgive me this once? Can't we live happily and peacefully?"

As he spoke, he even reached out, wanting to hold Jiang He's hand.

However, before his hand could touch Jiang He, his hand was slapped to the side.

Jiang He stared at the man in front of her who had lived with her for almost 30 years. She had never clearly realized at that moment that this man no longer loved her.

His eyes were clearly still as gentle as usual, but the annoyance in his eyes was not restrained.

Although she was angry, she was not muddle-headed from anger. It was not to the extent that she could not discern anything!

She sneered and suddenly calmed down.

"If I hadn't overheard them talking about that television drama when I went to the gathering, I really wouldn't have doubted you at all!"

Jiang He widened the distance between her and Ji Gao and shouted fiercely, "Ji Gao! Do you still want to keep me in the dark! So that I would never know about this?!"

Some time ago, she had been chatting with the other madams.

One of the madams unintentionally mentioned "The Return of the Crimson Child". Because netizens had noticed and posted about how Xu Yu's father was a little similar to Ji Gao, she even teased her about it.

She still remembered what that lady said after that.

"If it weren't for the fact that you and CEO Ji have been loving for so many years, even I, as an insider, would almost believe it. However, we all know how much CEO Ji dotes on you and have always been envious! Naturally, we won't believe those fake television dramas."

Originally, she had only watched 'The Return of the Crimson Child' because she had heard that it was a television drama from Gu Xiao's company. She was worried that she would defame the Ji family in it, so she had been curious and wary.

However, the deeper she went into the plot, the more she realized that something was wrong!

She had gotten someone to investigate with the intention of probing, but she did not expect such an outcome.

Jiang He could not help but feel disgusted when she thought of what those madams had said about their lovey-dovey relationship and looked at the results of the investigation!

The envious voices that she was proud of in the past were now like slaps to her face, making her feel ashamed!

Jiang He's hands by her side trembled slightly as she stared at Ji Gao with reddened eyes.

"Ji Gao! This matter is not over!"
