However, what puzzled them was why Gu Yibei suddenly returned to the capital and why he was inexplicably targeting the Cao family.
Dad said that although the Gu family has a company in Beijing, their main influence is in Country Y, and Gu Yibei usually stays in Country Y...
Seeing Cao Nana lost in thought, Ji Zhinan burst out laughing.
"Oh, right, I haven't introduced you yet. The man you want to sleep with is my boyfriend. His surname is Gu, and his name is Gu Yibei."
"He's not a bad person, except he's a bit vindictive."
Ji Zhinan smiled innocently, stood up, and got into the Maybach without looking at her again.
The car sped off and quickly disappeared from Cao Nana's sight.
"..." Cao Nana's mind was buzzing.
What did that bitch Ji Zhinan just say?
She said...that duck was her boyfriend?
His surname is Gu, and his given name is Gu Yibei...
Gu Yibei!!!
Cao Nana's pupils shrank sharply, her face filled with shock and disbelief.
Is it Gu Yibei?
No, impossible!
All I could picture was a man in a bespoke suit, exuding an air of nobility.
Although she vehemently denied it and refused to believe it, her heart was beating faster and faster, and she had already accepted it in her heart.
She suddenly remembered the last words that man had said to her.
Miss Cao boasts of her wealthy family background and having plenty of money. I'm quite curious to see just how rich Miss Cao's family really is.
So, was bankrupting the Cao family the man's revenge on her?
She caused the company to go bankrupt, and she even verbally humiliated Gu Yibei, the powerful figure in Beijing...
Cao Nana looked like she was in a daze, her eyes empty and lifeless.
It's over.
With Gu Yibei suppressing her, she'll never be able to turn her life around.
…………
Not long after Cao Nana left, Ji Pengfei brought Grandpa Ji back.
Madam Ji secretly told Ji Pengfei about Cao Nana's situation, and Ji Pengfei kept a straight face.
"Did they kick her out?"
"Of course, you've reminded me several times. I definitely can't let Xiaxia have any contact with her."
The Cao family is now a plague; whoever gets involved with them is doomed.
"That's fine then." Ji Pengfei's expression softened considerably.
When it was lunchtime, everyone sat down at their seats.
Mrs. Ji, holding a drink, looked every bit the dutiful daughter-in-law as she poured juice for the old man.
"Dad, welcome home! Our family is finally all together again. We must all take good care of each other from now on."
Upon hearing this, the old man looked at Madam Ji expressionlessly, his eyes somewhat unfriendly.
Madam Ji was seen
Her heart skipped a beat, and she swallowed hard: "Dad, did I say something wrong?"
"Nan Nan hasn't come home yet, so how can the whole family be together?"
"..."
The moment Ji Zhinan was mentioned, the atmosphere at the entire dining table changed.
Recalling the grievances he had suffered, Ji Pengfei's face darkened: "Dad, Xiuqin and I only have one daughter, Xiaxia. We are the real family. Ji Zhinan is just someone you adopted. No matter how much you dote on her, she has no blood relation to us!"
Ji Pengfei couldn't understand why his father, who was always cold to others, was so kind to Ji Zhinan.
Old Master Ji glared at him. "How many times have I said this? As long as I, this old man, live, Nan Nan will always be the treasure of the Ji family! I made it perfectly clear to you back then that if you wanted company shares, you had to accept Nan Nan. What? Now you want to back out?"
"..." Ji Pengfei couldn't refute a single word.
