Chapter 40



Gu Xiao didn’t cause An Yang to be infamous, and she even changed everyone’s opinions of her and Ji Yao. In the end, she successfully dragged Ji Yao into the matter. This was aside from the matter of Chen Li, which made her feel very regretful.

But all this could only be considered the beginning.

After the recording of the show was completed, at the Ji family.

“Kneel!” A loud shout rang out from within the room, accompanied by the sound of shattering glass.

“Father…” Ji Yao sobbed. Her eyes were red and swollen, and there were also some bruises on her body.

“I gave you such a good chance, and so many connections and helpers. Just look at what you’ve done!” The man pointed at Ji Yao, who was kneeling on the ground, and scolded loudly, “Just look at the comments about our Ji family on the net! Just look at the comments about you! Could it be that you want to drag the Ji family down with you!”

“Father! How could I possibly harm my own family!” Ji Yao felt wronged.

“You know very well in your heart! You are not our child. We only kept you because we saw that you had value to be exploited. Do you really think you are precious!” The man placed his hands on his hips, looking down on Ji Yao from above.

That’s right. Ji Yao had always known that she was only a chess piece of the Ji family. Thus, rather than calling her arrogant, it would be more accurate to say that her inferiority complex was already deeply ingrained in her heart.

She had always been afraid that if she did not do well enough, she would be ostracized, and be abandoned by the Ji family. She very much wanted to accomplish everything outstandingly, and prove that she was more suitable to be a precious daughter than the original princess of the Ji family.

But she did not do anything well.

She crawled shakily to the man’s feet, and begged, “Please… don’t abandon me…”

“You’ve already ruined everything,” the man said as he glanced at her in disgust. He then kicked her aside and locked her in the room.

And Gu Xiao also returned home. As promised, the production team also gave Gu Xiao’s family five thousand yuan.

Gu Xiao, with the help of the moonlight, could clearly see that simple and crude thatched house. She forcibly suppressed the disgust in her heart and walked in.

“You’ve returned? How much money have you earned!” The one who had spoken was Gu Xiao’s father. At this moment, he was counting the money given by the production team, his face glowing with happiness.

“No money, but I earned an entrance spot to the No. 1 High School in the city.” Gu Xiao replied coldly.

After Chu An returned home, he immediately related this matter to Chu Chen. Chu Chen made a call to the enrollment office of the school, and the teachers there also liked Gu Xiao very much. Because even though Gu Xiao’s background was slightly weaker, she was firm and willing to learn, so this matter was quickly settled.

“Go to school? Who the f*ck told you to go!” Gu Xiao’s father was suddenly angered, and raised his hand to slap Gu Xiao.

“I want to go myself.” Gu Xiao grabbed onto his arm. Gu Xiao’s father had not expected that Gu Xiao would actually be so strong, and the two of them were stuck in a stalemate just like that.

“You unfilial daughter, you came back from a show, and still dare to make a move on your father!” Gu Xiao’s mother heard the noise, and walked out from the room next door. She cried and made a fuss at Gu Xiao, causing Gu Xiao to feel nauseous.

The horn of a car suddenly sounded outside the door, and a man in a suit walked into the house. “Hello, is Miss Gu Xiao here? I was sent by the Chu family to pick you up, and the Second Young Master is already waiting in the car.”

Gu Xiao had originally not wanted to go home in the first place, and it was the production team that delivered her back here. She had long since agreed with Chu An to go to his home.

That person made a “please” gesture, and Gu Xiao tossed away her father’s arm, turned and left.

“This wild little girl has climbed up the social ladder?” Mrs Gu ran in front of Mr Gu, and asked in confusion.

“Probably, but that’s good too. Let’s find some time to make a fuss at the entrance of that Chu family. Who knows, we may be able to get some money.” The two of them began to scheme just like that.

In the car, Chu An leaned against the side window. After Gu Xiao sat down, his expression became serious, and he said, “Xiaoxiao, I found out something.”

“What?” Noticing the seriousness in Chu An’s tone, Gu Xiao’s heart was on edge.

“It doesn’t seem like Meng Fei or the production team did the Chen Li incident, but they’re all insiders,” Chu An whispered into her ear.

“What did you say!” Gu Xiao had just opened her mouth, when Chu An covered her mouth, indicating that this matter could not be told to outsiders first, not even to the driver.

“En, I will tell you the details when we get home. The Ji family is presently playing a big game of chess. There is a high chance that this matter is because of the Ji family.” Gu Xiao inhaled sharply, and a frightening thought arose in her mind.
