“That illegitimate son really has uremia?” Old Master Ji ignored Ji Gao and looked straight at Gu Xiao.
Gu Xiao nodded nonchalantly. “Of course it’s true. Would I lie about such things? If Old Master wants to investigate, 1 think you can find out too.”
Upon hearing Gu Xiao’s words, Old Master Ji, who was originally hesitating, became firm.
A sickly person, and one that sounded like he was seriously ill at that, this kind of person was not worthy of angering Jiang He, Ji Chen, and the others for his sake.
If he was healthy, it was not impossible to bring him back to carry on the family line, but now it seemed that the only use of this illegitimate son was gone.

Looking at Old Master Ji’s self-righteous expression, Gu Xiao found it funny.
If she didn’t know what kind of person Old Master Ji was, she might really have believed that he was a reasonable old man.
Ji Gao moved his mouth, as if he wanted to say something.
However, when he met Old Master Ji’s oppressive gaze, his fear of Old Master Ji since childhood rose, and he did not dare to say another word.
“We can’t just let this matter go like this!” Jiang He suddenly said, “Ji Gao did something wrong. Isn’t there any compensation?!”
“What do you want?” Old Master Ji looked at Jiang He and asked.
Jiang He stood up straight and glanced at Ji Gao, who did not dare to say a word in front of Old Master Ji. She sneered in her heart.
“I want Ji Gao to leave the Ji Group! I want my son to take over the Ji Group! I want that illegitimate son to have no chance at all!” She said fiercely.
Ji Gao had actually deceived her for more than ten years for the sake of a lover and an illegitimate child. Then why did she still have to give Ji Gao face?
After she went bankrupt, didn’t Ji Gao rely on his status as the CEO of the Ji Group to ignore her and even treat her coldly? Then she wanted to see how Ji Gao could still look down on her without the status he was so proud of!
“Dad, you won’t reject this request, right?” Jiang He looked at Old Master Ji meaningfully. She seemed to be asking him, but she was secretly forcing him to make a decision.
When Mr Jiang and Mrs Jiang heard this, they also turned to look at Old Master Ji, waiting for his answer.
This suggestion was not a big problem for Old Master Ji.
Whether Ji Group was in Ji Gao’s hands or in Ji Chen’s hands, they were still in the hands of the Ji family. Moreover, he had always thought highly of Ji Chen. Now that Ji Gao had made a mistake, it was normal for him to step down in advance.
“Xiao He’s request is not too much. After today, I will send someone to inform the Ji Group’s board of directors and let them know that Ji Chen will take over after that.”

Old Master Ji glanced at Ji Gao and interrupted him. “Don’t forget that when I handed over the shares of the Ji Group to you back then, the contract clearly stated that as long as I’m alive, I can take back the shares in your hands at any time!”
Old Master Ji had hit Ji Gao’s weakest spot, and his expression instantly stiffened. He had been powerful in the Ji Group for so many years that he had almost forgotten about this contract.
He looked at Old Master Ji’s expression. Without needing him to say anything, he understood that this matter could no longer be changed.
The expression on Ji Gao’s face instantly turned ashen.
When Jiang He saw Ji Gao’s expression, a trace of satisfaction flashed across her eyes. This was the outcome of betraying her!
“Xiao Chen, what do you think of this arrangement? You will take over the Ji Group from now on.” Old Master Ji had a completely different attitude when facing Ji Chen.
Originally, the Ji Group was something that Ji Chen considered dispensable, but he would not refuse the things that were given to him.
He nodded at Old Master Ji. “I understand, Grandpa.”
Seeing Ji Chen’s calm expression, Old Master Ji felt even more satisfied and kept nodding.
This grandson was indeed much better than his son!
“Then it’s settled! After that, Xiao Chen will go to the Ji Group!” As he spoke, Old Master Ji glanced at Ji Gao, who had his head lowered and was thinking about something.. “Stay at home and reflect on yourself!”
