Chapter 281: Confirmation

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Although Jiang He had been clamoring for a divorce with Ji Gao previously, she did not choose to get a divorce after causing a ruckus twice. That meant that she still wanted to live with Ji Gao.

Since that was the case, he could not tell Jiang He about the conflicts between him, Ji Gao, and the Ji Group, lest he put Jiang He in a dilemma.

Thinking of this, Ji Chen answered in a low voice and then said, “It is not a big deal, you don’t have to worry.”

Hearing Ji Chen’s words, Jiang He thought of the conversation she heard in the corner of the garden and felt her heart skip a beat.

Seeing that Ji Chen was unwilling to say more, Jiang He did not dwell on this issue. She changed the topic. “Then where is your company now? Shall 1 get someone to send the snacks over?”

“There’s no need. I have something on at the company recently. You can just eat the snacks.”

Hearing this, Jiang He nodded and told Ji Chen to take good care of himself before hanging up.

Her hand dropped from her ear weakly. Then she thought of Ji Chen’s words just now and held the phone fiercely. The veins on the back of her hand bulged, making that fair hand look a little scary.

Previously, if it could only be said that she was guessing and could not be sure if what the gardeners said was true, then after talking with Ji Chen just now, she was sure that Ji Chen’s company was targeted by the Ji Group.

Something on at Ji Chen’s company? What could it be? Of course it was about the Ji Group targeting the company!

“Good! Good job!” Jiang He lowered her head and said through gritted teeth.

Furthermore, it was actually specially instructed that she was not to be told. Were they worried that she would cause trouble for Ji Group and Ji Gao?

Jiang He sneered. Since he was so afraid that she would find out, wouldn’t she be letting Old Master Ji and Ji Gao down if she didn’t do anything now that she knew?

With this thought in mind, Jiang He composed herself and made herself look less angry.

She simply took a bag and went downstairs, heading for the garage.

When she met a maid on the way, the maid stopped and asked curiously, “Madam, are you going out?”

Jiang He nodded carelessly. Then, she saw a glint flash across the maid’s eyes. Then, the other party asked again, “Madam, are you going shopping? Do you need me to arrange a driver?”

When Jiang He heard this, her gaze instantly became sharp, shooting towards the maid like a knife. When the maid met Jiang He’s gaze, she hurriedly lowered her head in shock.

The corners of her red lips curled up in disdain. “Why? Do I have to report to you where 1 go?!”

The maid was frightened by Jiang He’s cold tone. She hurriedly shook her head and defended herself. “N-No, Madam. Master is just worried about your safety, so he instructed us to prepare a driver for you if you want to go out.”

Jiang He snorted coldly and casually retracted her gaze from the maid.

“No need. I can drive myself.”

With that, she left without waiting for the maid’s reaction.

After pa.s.sing by the maid, Jiang He’s expression completely darkened.

During this period of time, she had been in a daze. She did not expect that the maids in the villa would be able to ask about her schedule now.

The maid stood at the same spot and watched as Jiang He drove away. She hurriedly sent a message to Ji Gao and briefly explained what had just happened. After receiving Ji Gao’s reply, she put away her phone and continued with her work.

In the hospital, Ji Gao put away his phone with a dark expression. When he turned to look at Du Li and Ji Lin, his expression softened a little.

Seeing Ji Gao’s reaction, a glint flashed across Du Li’s eyes. After hiding the thoughts in her heart, she said curiously, “Hubby, who sent you the message just now? Did Old Master Ji agree to let you return to the Ji Group?”

When Ji Gao heard this, his expression darkened for a moment. When he remembered who was in front of him, he forced a smile.

“No, it’s something else that needs my attention.”

Ji Gao didn’t see that after he said this, a trace of disappointment flashed across Du Li’s eyes. And hidden behind the disappointment was a determination to burn all bridges. It was as if she had finally made up her mind to do what she had hesitated before.

“I see,” Du Li said softly. “Then Hubby, go ahead and do your work! I’ll take care of Lin Lin here. You don’t have to worry..”
