Gu Xiao asked some questions about Radiant’s current situation. Ji Chen answered them one by one, but did not mention Radiant’s current predicament.

Gu Xiao thought for a long time and still brought up the previous question. “Brother, do you need the Chu family’s help?”

If Ji Chen agreed, she and Chu An would immediately go to the Chu family and ask the Chu family to help Radiant tide over this crisis. On account of her and Chu An, Chu Zi and Mr Chu should agree.

Furthermore, with Chu An’s guarantee, she was even more convinced that this matter would work.

Hearing Gu Xiao’s words, the expression in Ji Chen’s eyes changed slightly, then he lowered his eyes.

“I already know Xiaoxiao’s good intentions, but I can still handle Radiant’s current situation. I won’t trouble the Chu family to take action.”

Ji Chen’s voice was a little low. Gu Xiao could not see Ji Chen’s face through the phone, so she could not guess what he was thinking.

But since Ji Chen had already said so, if she continued to talk about this matter, she might not be trying to help, but rather expressing suspicion of Ji Chen’s ability.

Gu Xiao paused for a while. In the end, she did as Ji Chen said and did not dwell on this matter.

In the end, she only said that if there was anything he needed, she would help if she could. After Ji Chen agreed, Gu Xiao hung up the phone.

Hearing the cold beeping sound coming from the phone, Ji Chen sighed inwardly and put down the phone.

As an elder brother, he was really useless. He still needed his sister to worry about the company.

Ji Chen played with his phone and lowered his eyes.

If he had previously been asked if he would like Radiant to cooperate with the Chu Corporation, he would naturally be willing. However, in this situation, Radiant was at a disadvantage, so he could not accept the cooperation and help from the Chu Corporation.

As Xiaoxiao’s maternal family, it was fine if he could not support Xiaoxiao for the time being, but it was really difficult for him to accept the help of her in-laws.

Even though he knew that the Chu Family treated Xiaoxiao very well, he still had to be more careful about these things.

“Whose call did you answer? You were clearly quite happy when you answered the call, but why do you look so worried now?” Yang Hong sat opposite Ji Chen and raised his eyebrows as he looked at Ji Chen teasingly. “And it’s a special ringtone. Why didn’t 1 know that you would set a special ringtone for others?”

Hearing Yang Hong’s voice, Ji Chen came back to his senses.

He looked up at Yang Hong. Seeing the other party’s inquisitive expression and the straightforward look of “curiousness” in his eyes, he felt a little helpless.

“Xiaoxiao called to ask about Radiant.”

Yang Hong retracted the teasing smile on his face and became serious. However, the words he said were not considered serious.

“So it’s Sister Xiaoxiao. I thought that you, the cold eldest son of the Ji family, had finally fallen in love, and some little lover called!”

Among all the people Yang Hong had relations with, only Ji Chen had a cold personality. From the moment he met Ji Chen, he had never seen a woman by Ji Chen’s side.

Occasionally, there would be a few women who were either partners or clients. He would even be hiring men for secretarial positions by his side to avoid some trouble.

Yang Hong’s imagination ran wild in his mind. When he met Ji Chen’s cold gaze, he finally stopped all the thoughts in his mind.

He blinked and changed the topic. “So Sister Xiaoxiao also knows about Radiant’s current situation?”

The phone spun in Ji Chen’s hand and was then put aside by the owner.

Ji Chen thought for a while, but still told him the reason why Gu Xiao had sought him out. When he heard that Gu Xiao could ask the Chu Corporation for help, Yang Hong’s eyes widened slightly.

He leaned forward slightly. “So did you say yes?”

Ji Chen pursed his lips and did not say anything. However, Yang Hong knew Ji Chen very well. Seeing the other party’s reaction, he knew that Ji Chen did not agree.

“You rejected it?” Yang Hong was puzzled. “Why?”

Ji Chen glanced at Yang Hong and still told him everything he was thinking.

After hearing Ji Chen’s words, Yang Hong blinked. He really couldn’t say that Ji Chen’s actions were wrong.

After all, in this circle, there were too many situations where a married daughter might be suffering some grievance but had no right to speak, because she did not have sufficient status in the eyes of her in-laws.

For Ji Chen to have considerations for Gu Xiao’s sake, it was also right.

If he had a sister he doted on, even if it was only meaningless worry, he would still want to give his sister more protection..
