When Ji Gao heard this, he looked at Jiang He as if he was looking at an insensible child. He reached out and grabbed Jiang He’s wrist, stopping her from leaving.

“He’er, if this matter really blows up, it won’t be good for us. I’ve already admitted my mistake. What else do you want?”

To Ji Gao, he and Jiang He had been husband and wife for many years, so he felt that he still knew Jiang He well. She did not make a scene, so there was still something to discuss.

Therefore, he was not very worried.

Jiang He turned her head and looked at Ji Gao coldly.

“This matter is not detrimental to me at all!”

With that, Jiang He did not bother about Ji Gao’s attempt to stop her. She shook off the other party’s hand and left in her high heels.

Ji Gao looked at Jiang He’s back. Although he felt helpless, he did not care too much. As long as she still had her rationality, he was not worried that Jiang He would do something irreversible.

In addition, Jiang He’s company had already closed down and had no one to rely on. He was certain that Jiang He would not do anything too overboard.

Although he was so sure, Ji Gao still chased after her when he saw Jiang He leave.

When he passed by Ji Chen, Ji Gao stopped and looked at him with a dark expression.

“Did you tell your mother about this?!”

Ji Chen looked back at Ji Gao calmly, and his lips curled up slightly.

“Dad, why would you think that way? Since I said that 1 won’t talk too much, 1 will keep my promise. I am different from you.” Ji Chen mocked Ji Gao.

He had indeed not revealed that Ji Gao had an illegitimate child and a lover.

However, since Jiang He had discovered it herself and sent someone to investigate, he naturally wouldn’t just stand by and watch. He didn’t do much either. He just sent the people that Ji Gao had hidden again straight in front of Jiang He and indirectly handed over the evidence that Ji Gao had destroyed to Jiang He.

He really didn’t do anything more.

“Don’t do anything unnecessary. I’m sure you don’t want this family to fall apart because of this!”

Ji Chen threw a glance at Ji Gao, who had a dark look on his face. “Dad, why don’t you think about how to stop Mom instead of telling me these things here?

1 accidentally heard just now that Mom is calling Grandpa and Grandma?. It seems like she wants to seek justice from Grandpa.”

Ji Chen’s words were very calm, without any fluctuation or threat.

However, when Ji Gao heard Old Master Ji’s name, his expression changed drastically.

Ji Gao, who had dared to threaten Ji Chen darkness, now had a trace of timidity in his eyes, and his hands were kneading uneasily.

He glared at Ji Chen and did not dare to delay any longer. He ran out of the Ji family mansion, hoping to stop Jiang He before she reached the Ji family’s old residence.

What he did not want to happen the most still happened! However, Jiang He clearly did not look very angry!

Ji Chen watched as Ji Gao’s pathetic and timid figure disappeared in front of him. Then he reached out and took out his phone from his pocket.

“How was the scene just now?”

“Of course it’s good when it was a show that Brother specially put in so much effort to arrange for me to hear.” Gu Xiao’s happy voice came from the other end of the phone.

Hearing this, Ji Chen nodded in satisfaction.

With one hand holding his phone and the other in his pocket, he walked out of the Ji residence.

“Since you like it, let’s finish watching this scene first.”

Ji Chen walked out of the Ji residence and looked at the corner not far away from the mansion. He could vaguely see a car.

He knew that Gu Xiao and Chu An were in that car.

However, he did not go over. Instead, after getting Gu Xiao’s consent, he told her the address of the Ji family’s old residence and hung up.

He got into the car, started the engine, and rushed to the Ji family’s old residence.

When Gu Xiao heard the beeping sound from the phone, she turned to look at Chu An, who was in the driver’s seat, and raised her eyebrows.

“Now, let’s go to the next stop too! How can 1 not be here during such an exciting time?”

Or rather, how could she not be present when Ji Gao and Jiang He were in such a sorry state? Not to mention that Old Master Ji was also participating in this big show.

She had to go and fan the flames.

Chu An raised his hand and rubbed Gu Xiao’s head. After retracting his hand, he started the car and they left the Ji residence behind Ji Chen.

Gu Xiao looked at Ji Chen’s car, which could she could only see the back of, with a deep gaze.

Although Jiang He looked angry, she had lived with Ji Gao for so many years. She was devoted to Ji Gao and really had feelings for him.

If she really waited until Jiang He calmed down and was coaxed back by Ji Gao, wouldn’t everything she had done during this period of time be for nothing?

Even if they could not completely turn Jiang He and Ji Gao against each other this time, they could not let Jiang He and Ji Gao continue to get along well!
