In the following period of time, Ji Gao kept looking for an opportunity to test the Chu family’s attitude towards Gu Xiao.
After waiting for two days, he finally found an opportunity.
When he found out that Chu Baiyuan would be attending a banquet, Ji Gao did not hesitate at all and hurriedly followed.
At the banquet, Ji Gao held a wine glass in his hand while his gaze kept wandering around the people at the banquet, but he could not find the person he wanted to see.
Just as Ji Gao was getting impatient and was about to give up, he saw Chu Baiyuan’s figure in a corner.
The other party seemed to have just finished a conversation and was hiding in a corner to rest.
Ji Gao thought for a moment and walked towards a familiar friend with a wine glass in hand.
After exchanging a few words with his friend, he deliberately sighed.
The friend looked at Ji Gao. “What’s going on? Isn’t the Ji Group developing quite well now?”
Seeing that his friend was so sensible, Ji Gao was delighted, but he still looked troubled.
“Well, you know that my biological daughter has been brought back. But I heard that she’s very close to the second young master of the Chu family, and I’ve heard a lot of rumors recently. Our Xiaoxiao has just been brought back, and I’m really a little worried. I’m afraid that the Chu family… Sigh!”
Although Ji Gao did not finish his sentence, his friend understood what he wanted to say.
After all, if it were him, he would also be worried. If he offended the Chu family because of his daughter, he would also choose to make his daughter give in, even if he would not be able to get a connection with the Chu family because of this.
“So what are you planning to do now?”
“I want you to help me find out President Chu’s attitude. If the Chu family doesn’t like Xiaoxiao, I can tell Xiaoxiao to keep her distance from the second young master of the Chu family.”
His friend nodded and agreed. “Then I’ll ask around for you.”
He was very willing to watch the excitement and at the same time, make Ji Gao owe him a small favor.
Moreover, he also wanted to know what was the Chu family’s attitude towards Gu Xiao. If the Chu family liked Gu Xiao, he didn’t see how the Chu family really doted on Gu Xiao. But if the Chu family didn’t like Gu Xiao, they didn’t stop Chu An from getting close to Gu Xiao.
They were also very concerned about the Chu family’s attitude.
“President Chu! Long time no see!” His friend walked to Chu Baiyuan’s side and raised the wine glass in his hand.
When Chu Baiyuan saw the person, he stood up straight and did not give off the feeling of laid-back relaxation he had previously had. He also raised his glass and took a sip of the wine in his glass.
“President Zhang, long time no see!”
After Chu Baiyuan and CEO Zhang chatted for a while, CEO Zhang inadvertently asked, “I heard that your Second Young Master is very close to the newly acknowledged Miss Gu of the Ji Group?”
When Chu Baiyuan heard this, a trace of darkness flashed across his eyes. Then, he glanced at President Zhang, who was speaking, and retracted his gaze. His expression did not change at all.
“It’s just games among children.”
President Zhang raised his eyebrows, and interest flashed across his eyes.
They were “kids” and “playing”. It seemed that Chu Baiyuan didn’t recognize the relationship between Chu An and Gu Xiao. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have said such things.
President Zhang guessed this in his heart, but just to be safe, he said casually again, “Previously, at a banquet, I saw President Chu and Miss Gu chatting happily. I thought that there would soon be good news of a marriage alliance between the Chu Group and the Ji Group! Now, it seems that I had been muddle-headed.” After saying that, he even laughed out loud.
“After all, 1 have to give my son some face at the banquet.” After saying that, Chu Baiyuan seemed to have thought of something and added, “But my daughter-in-law likes Gu Xiao more.”
Upon hearing Chu Baiyuan’s words, President Zhang finally confirmed the Chu family’s attitude towards Gu Xiao.
It seemed that Chu Baiyuan only treated Gu Xiao to make his child happy. As for his daughter-in-law… Even if she was doted on by the women, it was still the men who made the decision. The opinions of the women was not important.
President Zhang thought that he understood Chu Baiyuan’s attitude. After exchanging a few more words with Chu Baiyuan, he said goodbye.
Although he didn’t know why Chu An told him not to make it too obvious for the time being, he just had to do as the kid said. After all, they would deal with the aftermath and wouldn’t give the two children too much pressure..
