Chapter 41: The Ji Family’s Plot
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
This was the first time Gu Xiao had come to Chu An’s house.
It wasn’t the Chu family’s big family house, but an apartment they rented near the school to make it easier for Chu An to go to school.
There were no luxurious decorations in the apartment, and the inside of the apartment was very clean as well.
“In order to welcome you, 1 personally tidied up the apartment in advance.” Chu An looked up with an expression that was asking to be praised.
“Yes, yes. Thank you so much.” Gu Xiao laughed softly.
Chu An took out a key from his pocket and handed it to Gu Xiao. “Take the key.”
Gu Xiao nodded. The two of them walked side by side from the entrance to the living room and sat down on the sofa. They were silent for a while.
“We found out that the Ji family wants to establish a commercial monopoly.”
“A commercial monopoly?” Gu Xiao frowned.
“Yes, the Ji family’s business field is the same as my family, which involves many fields, but the Ji family is not satisfied with that. They want to control the entire business circle.”
“Does that have anything to do with Chen Li’s matter?”
“I said before that the Ji family is playing a big game of chess, and Ji Yao is just a chess piece. They want to make Ji Yao into an influential female celebrity and have her enter the entertainment industry.” Chu An paused at this point.
“It’s said that the entertainment industry is very chaotic. Some celebrities are supported by many forces and capitalists.” Gu Xiao muttered to herself thoughtfully.
“That’s right. The Ji family hopes to get to know some forces and organizations that they usually don’t come into contact with through Ji Yao. Debuting through the variety show is undoubtedly the best solution, but because of Ji Yao’s performance… the Ji family can only find a sacrifice to divert the attention of the masses.”
“Chen Li…”
“Mm.” As Chu An spoke, he took out his phone, opened a video, and placed it in front of Gu Xiao.
In the video, Meng Fei was originally in the room at the nursing home. She went out to answer a call and only a few “Mm” sounds could be heard. Then, she revealed a hesitant expression.
However, Chen Li’s relationship with the old woman improved rapidly. The two of them chatted and laughed. Meng Fei clenched her fists as if she had made a major decision.
The production team also waved at the old woman at this moment. The scene was very clear, and a trace of displeasure could be seen on the old woman’s face. Then,she asked Chen Li to get her favorite vase.
Chen Li nodded. Just as she was facing the camera and carefully carrying the vase over-
Meng Fei stretched out her leg and tripped her.
Everyone knew what happened after that.
However, the strange thing was that the production team had clearly witnessed the entire process. Why didn’t they come forward to explain?
“That call was made by Ji Yao.” Chu An closed the video and said calmly, “But they have already deleted the call record. This video has also been deleted. If it’s released, it can completely be said to have been edited maliciously. There’s no way to prove Chen Li’s innocence.”
Gu Xiao was silent, and a hint of ruthlessness flashed across her eyes.
“I will definitely make Ji Yao pay for what she did. No, not just Ji Yao, but the entire Ji family,” Gu Xiao said firmly.
Chu An chuckled and rubbed her head.
“Don’t think too much. You must be tired from the journey. Hurry up and take a shower. Your room is the one on the left. I’ve already tidied it up.”
Gu Xiao nodded and asked teasingly, “A man and a woman will be living under the same roof. You won’t have improper thoughts about me, right?”
As Gu Xiao spoke, she crossed her arms and hugged herself, staring at Chu An with her big, watery eyes. contemporary romance
“Miss Gu, you know me very well, but I’m a law-abiding citizen, so some things still have to wait another six years for Miss Gu.”
Of course, Gu Xiao knew that Chu An wasn’t thinking of anything proper, and her face instantly turned red.
“I’m going to take a shower!” Gu Xiao said, flustered. She took out her pajamas from her luggage and ran into the bathroom.
However, after Gu Xiao closed the bathroom door, Chu An revealed a worried expression.
He knew that Gu Xiao had too many responsibilities. She had too many grievances and regrets in her heart and she needed to fill them up herself in this life.
However, if possible, Chu An hoped that she could be a carefree little girl forever and live happily for the rest of her life.
But people had to grow.
Chu An retracted his gaze and lay on the sofa, closing his eyes to rest..
