Seeing the intention in Mr Ji’s expression, Gu Xiao knew that she must have been like rchandise that he had calculated the value of in his mind. However, it did not matter. Anyway, she was already used to it, right?

“Xiaoxiao, are you really going back?” Chu An couldn’t stand it anymore after watching their exchange. He approached Gu Xiao and asked in a low voice, his eyes filled with reluctance.

Gu Xiao was also reluctant, but she felt that it would be more beneficial for her to take revenge after returning to the Ji family. “It’s fine. Although I’ve returned to the Ji family, we can still et in school.”

Since Gu Xiao had already said so, Chu An could only agree. “Alright, this will always be your ho. Your fingerprint is already recorded in the mory of the door lock. You can co back anyti. I’m always here.”

“Yes!” Gu Xiao nodded heavily.

While Chu An and Gu Xiao were talking, Mr Ji was also sizing him up.

He had definitely heard of the second young master of the Chu family. After all, he had the entire Chu family behind him. If Gu Xiao married him in the future, the Ji family would also have the help of the Chu family. At that ti, they would definitely be able to rise to another level.

This was also an important reason why Mr Ji couldn’t wait to find Gu Xiao and acknowledge her as his daughter.

After Gu Xiao finished talking to Chu An, she asked Mr Ji, “I’ll go pack my things and then we’ll leave.”

“There’s no need to pack up!” The mont Gu Xiao finished speaking, Mr Ji stopped her.

Gu Xiao frowned in confusion and asked, “Why?”

After hearing Gu Xiao’s question, Mr Ji smiled and said ingratiatingly, “I’ve already gotten soone to arrange your accommodations. Everything is ready. You just have to follow and move in.”

After hearing Mr Ji’s words, Gu Xiao snorted softly. She had to admit that Mr Ji really valued benefits. In her previous life, not to ntion preparing items, even her residence was only a temporary storeroom that he got the servants to tidy up after she arrived at the Ji residence.

After she followed Mr Ji to the Ji residence, Gu Xiao realized that he had not simply prepared a place to stay. Instead, he had arranged a very luxurious room for her. All kinds of smart and high-tech things were spread throughout the room. Everything she needed for daily use was arranged one by one. He was even afraid that she would not like it, so he had prepared different types for her to choose from.

Compared to the simple and ssy storeroom of her previous life, there was a world of difference.

However, the more she compared them, the colder Gu Xiao’s heart beca.

Mr Ji did not notice Gu Xiao’s abnormality. At this mont, he was still delighting in the beautiful future in his mind. After showing Gu Xiao around, he said to her, “From now on, you are a mber of the Ji family. Oh right, you have to change your na too. Now…”

However, before Mr Ji could say anything, Gu Xiao interrupted him. “No! If I do, I won’t be returning to the Ji Family.”

Mr Ji frowned when he heard this. He suppressed his anger and asked, “Why not? Do you want to take the surna of two parents who are human traffickers?”

Compared to Mr Ji’s excitent, Gu Xiao was much calr. “I’m just used to this na. After all, I’ve been using this na for 16 years. It’s as if it’s carved into my body.”

After saying this, Gu Xiao paused and looked up into Mr Ji’s eyes. “This is also a symbol that you lost for 16 years.”

Mr Ji unconsciously took two steps back and avoided her gaze. When he realized that he was actually afraid of a 16-year-old child, his expression stiffened and he said with a dark expression, “Fine.”

After that, Mr Ji said, “I’ll go and supervise the servants to see if things have been done well.” Then, he strode away. At the sa ti, he kept regretting in his heart. Thinking how he had subconsciously felt frightened just now, he felt embarrassed.

After Mr Ji left, Gu Xiao walked out of the room. After all, after such a long ti, she felt a little hungry.

Although a long ti had passed, because she had lived here before, muscle mory brought Gu Xiao to the kitchen smoothly to see if there was anything to eat.

As soon as Gu Xiao walked in, she saw Li Feng smiling and said respectfully, “Miss Gu Xiao, what would you like to eat? I’ll make it for you now.”

Li Feng was the Ji family’s long-term chef. In her previous life, she often followed Ji Yao and bullied her. She prepared leftovers for her, placed weeds and insects, and made food for her that she was allergic to..
