When Ji Gao heard Du Li’s words, his pupils dilated. After a while, he came back to his senses.

He looked up and looked around. After making sure that there was no one around, he lowered his voice and said to Du Li on the other end of the phone, “Xiao Li, how could you do this?! How did you get Ji Chen and Gu Xiao’s blood?!”

“Hubby, I really don’t have a choice. I really don’t have a choice! I can’t just watch our Lin Lin die! Moreover, it’s just a kidney transplant. The doctor said that it won’t cause any harm to the body.”

Hearing Du Li’s helpless crying voice, Ji Gao’s anger towards Du Li for doing a blood test on Ji Chen and Gu Xiao secretly softened.

Ji Lin was also his child, and the child he doted on the most. How could he not feel heartache for him?

Ji Lin was the fruit of his and Du Li’s love! Seeing Ji Lin suffer made him feel terrible too. However, it was not easy to find a kidney source, so he could only opt for conservative treatment.

At the thought of Ji Lin lying on the hospital bed, suffering and looking pale, but still smiling because of his arrival, Ji Gao could not bring himself to be ruthless.

“Xiao Li, don’t worry. I definitely won’t watch as something happens to Lin Lin! I’ll definitely think of a way to treat Lin Lin!”

Ji Gao comforted Du Li gently again. After Du Li calmed down, he hung up.

He held his phone tightly in his hand. Thinking of Du Li’s words just now, his eyes darkened a little.

Ji Gao stayed outside the house for a long time before putting his phone back into his pocket and walking back to the villa as if nothing had happened.

He had just walked into the living room when he heard Jiang He’s complaints.

“What do you think Gu Xiao is thinking? She’s clearly a child of our Ji family. It’s one thing if she’s not living in the Ji residence, but now, she actually wants to hold a celebratory banquet with the Chu family? Isn’t she throwing our Ji family’s pride on the ground by doing this?!”

“Madam, Gu Xiao is no longer a member of our Ji family anyway. Isn’t it the same wherever she goes to hold a celebratory banquet?” A servant at the side advised Jiang He.

Jiang He sneered with a hint of contempt in her eyes.

“In the end, she’s still a child of our Ji family! Who doesn’t know that Gu Xiao is a child of our Ji family? Now that she’s hooked up with the Chu family, she’s throwing our Ji family aside. In my opinion, that little b*tch Gu Xiao left our Ji family back then to hook up with the Chu family. Pfft! She’s an ingrate! If we hadn’t found her, who would have known where she would still be suffering!”

Whenever Jiang He thought about how her company had closed down because of Gu Xiao, she wished that Gu Xiao had never appeared.

After scolding Gu Xiao fiercely for a while, she looked up and saw Ji Gao standing not far away.

Even though she had fallen out with Ji Gao once because of Gu Xiao, she would still openly express her disdain for Gu Xiao in front of Ji Gao.

After all, she only wanted an excuse to torture Ji Gao at the time.

She glared at Ji Gao, who was standing at the side in a daze. “Why are you still standing there in a daze?! Have you tidied up the room I asked you to tidy?”

When Ji Gao heard Jiang He’s words, he finally recovered from the fact that Gu Xiao was going to hold a celebratory banquet.

He looked at the sarcastic Jiang He in front of him, and a trace of disgust flashed across his eyes.

“Cleaning up a room is not something a man like me should do. Order your servants to do it!” he said directly to Jiang He.

Anyway, during this period of time, he had clearly seen Old Master Ji’s attitude towards him and Jiang He.

If he was to divorce Jiang He, Old Master Ji might agree. However, if he was to leave with nothing, Old Master Ji would definitely not agree.

At that time, no matter how much trouble Jiang He caused, there would be nothing they could do.

As long as he did not go overboard, Old Master Ji would definitely stand by his side!

Jiang He was angered by Ji Gao’s attitude. She stood up from the sofa and glared at Ji Gao.

“Ji Gao! Don’t go too far! Don’t forget what Dad said back then! What is it, do you want to go against Dad’s words now?”

Ji Gao looked at Jiang He impatiently. “Don’t use Dad’s words to pressure me! Think carefully about which side Dad is on. Don’t go too far!”

After saying that, Ji Gao ignored Jiang He, who was hopping mad with his words, and went straight upstairs..
