When Jiang He heard Gu Xiao’s first sentence, she still felt a little guilty. After all, Gu Xiao was also her daughter. However, when she heard Gu Xiao’s last sentence, Jiang He completely abandoned that guilty conscience. She suddenly stood up and looked at Gu Xiao angrily.

“Gu Xiao, what are you talking about?! Apologize to Yaoyao now. If you don’t, 1’11 make sure you can’t continue living in this Ji family!”

Ji Yao was also secretly resentful because of Gu Xiao’s words, but when she saw Jiang He’s reaction, she imdiately beca smug.

No matter what, Jiang He, Gu Xiao’s biological mother, was still on her side.

“Jiang He, don’t forget that it was Ji Gao who begged to return to the Ji Family. 1 didn’t take the initiative to co back.”

Gu Xiao’s words silenced Jiang He. She knew that Jiang He, whose company had closed down, would not disobey Ji Gao in any way, even if it was for Ji Yao.

After all, Ji Gao was the source of all her inco now.

When Gu Xiao saw Jiang He’s fair face turning red but not being able to say a word, she instantly felt bored.

She walked towards Jiang He and Ji Yao.

Jiang He was stunned by Gu Xiao’s words. Coupled with the fact that Gu Xiao was clearly not soone to be trifled with, she imdiately took a step back when she saw Gu Xiao walking over.

Behind her was the sofa. There was no way to retreat. She could only forcefully straighten her back to make herself look less afraid.

“W-What do you want to do? Let , let tell you, this is the Ji Family! You, you can’t touch .”

Gu Xiao completely ignored Jiang He and stopped in front of Ji Yao.

Looking at Ji Yao, who had been hiding behind Jiang He and asking for her protection, she imdiately sneered.

“Ji Yao, don’t get Jiang He to settle your problems every ti you do sothing behind my back. Don’t be smug in front of either. I don’t care about Jiang He’s attitude.”

Ji Yao looked up at Gu Xiao shakily. “Xiaoxiao, what are you talking about? I-I don’t understand.”

“You don’t understand? Then you don’t have to understand.”

As Gu Xiao spoke, she raised her hand and slapped Ji Yao’s face before Jiang He and Ji Yao could react.

Gu Xiao did not hold back at all. The entire living room could hear a loud bang.

Ji Yao even swayed from Gu Xiao’s slap. She raised her hand to cover her face and looked at Gu Xiao in disbelief. She could not believe that the other party actually dared to hit her, but the burning pain on her face kept telling her that all of this was true.

“How dare you hit ?” Ji Yao said to Gu Xiao darkly.

Gu Xiao raised her eyebrows provocatively at Ji Yao. “Ji Yao, rember this. If you dare to play such tricks again, don’t bla for being harsh.”

She looked at Ji Yao with disdain and shook her hand in a seemingly weak fashion. She no longer had the toughness she had had when she hit her.

“Hitting you will dirty my hands. If there’s a next ti, I’ll really let you know what it ans to be better off dead than alive! So, Ji Yao, you’d better behave yourself.”

Gu Xiao warned her. When she t Ji Yao’s gaze, a trace of mockery flashed across her eyes. She turned around and walked upstairs.

The servants who saw this scene in the living room imdiately lowered their heads. They did not dare to look Gu Xiao in the eye, afraid that Gu Xiao would rember them.

This ti, they truly felt that this girl who was recognized by the Ji family halfway was not an easy person to get along with.

Previously, their small fights had just not touched the other party’s bottom line.

It seed that they would have to be even more careful when they faced Gu Xiao in the future.

Although Gu Xiao was often impatient and cold in front of Jiang He, she had never really resorted to violence in front of her. Even if her company went bankrupt, Jiang He subconsciously understood that it was not entirely Gu Xiao’s fault.

That was why Jiang He dared to insult and ridicule Gu Xiao right in front of her. She knew that Gu Xiao wouldn’t dare to attack her.

However, just now, Gu Xiao’s gaze made Jiang He understand that Gu Xiao was not soone who could be easily bullied by her.

Even a rabbit would bite when it was pushed into dire straits, let alone Gu Xiao, who was not a kind person..
