Chapter 408: Chapter 408

When the test results came out, Ji Yu already knew what they would be.

Looking at Gu Qixiao now, she felt a hint of helplessness in her heart.

"It seems we’ve really hit the jackpot." She understood that Gu Qixiao might be feeling a bit worried at the moment.

But all that was needed was just an outcome.

She still believed that it was impossible for there to be any real problems with Gu Qixiao.

"Gu Qixiao, come back with me first. We’ll talk about this later. I don’t think this issue should become a barrier between us."

Many things are just .

Though it started off badly, the outcome would certainly not be terrible.

Seeing Gu Qixiao’s current state was a little off, Ji Yu decided it was best to take him back first before handling anything else.

Upon returning home and seeing the two disagreeable people, Ji Yu felt slightly displeased. Mainly because seeing those two always reminded her of Jiang Huai.

Gu Qixiao’s condition was not suitable for continuing discussions about Jiang Huai.

"Whatever it is, you can talk about it later. Besides, I don’t think we have much to discuss. With the way your little group is now, you should be able to challenge Jiang Huai head-on."

Her attitude was cold, which made Mr. Li’s expression awkward.

He didn’t know exactly how to respond to Ji Yu, but this matter was undoubtedly making him extremely uneasy.

"Miss Ji, don’t you want to resolve the issue with Jiang Huai quickly? I believe you resent Jiang Huai more than anyone else. After all, we clearly remember everything he did to you before."

Ji Yu raised her brow, recognizing that they were trying to play psychological tactics now, but for her, such tricks were utterly unnecessary.

She looked at the people in front of her with resignation, as countless possibilities ran through her mind.

"What exactly are you trying to do? Either say it outright now or hurry up and get out. I don’t want to keep dragging on with people like you."

If they had clarified the matter properly from the beginning, things wouldn’t have come to this.

Clearly, their expressions showed a trace of embarrassment.

After all, the issue Ji Yu mentioned did indeed impact them in some way.

"Miss Ji, we don’t mean to imply anything. You’re probably aware that Charles’s family is Jiang Huai’s biggest supporter right now. If we can seize that position from him, Jiang Huai would be much easier to deal with."

Ji Yu raised her brow again, as if she didn’t quite understand the meaning of what they said.

"What I mean is, Charles is our only hope if he wants to reclaim this position."

Although Mr. Li explained everything eloquently, the Charles beside him remained incredibly calm, as if the issue had nothing to do with him at all.

Ji Yu could see it now: these two were like eunuchs worrying more than the emperor himself. Watching Mr. Li grow increasingly anxious over this, Ji Yu realized that Charles likely had no intention of going back at all.

"He doesn’t look that impatient to me. Perhaps we should just forget about this." She grinned, her indifference evident in the situation.

Charles hurriedly explained, "How could I not want to go back? This matter is far too important to me."

He had been working hard precisely to resolve this matter as quickly as possible.

Yet Ji Yu’s attitude toward the situation remained calm and composed throughout.

"Do you think we actually believe the words you’re saying? If you were truly anxious, you wouldn’t have been silent this whole time. With the way you’re acting, tell me—how am I supposed to believe you?"

Ji Yu had already done her best to deliver her points clearly.

Perhaps due to Ji Yu’s words affecting Charles, his demeanor finally started to shift toward urgency. "I really want to go back, Ji Yu. You have no idea just how terrible my situation is right now. If I were able to return, I’d tear Jiang Huai into pieces."

Oh, great. He’s still dreaming. How can anyone expect him to actually accomplish anything? Read complete versıon only at novel※fire.net

"Honestly, I truly don’t feel you’re capable of handling this. With your current behavior, along with your attitude that day, how do you expect me to look at you seriously now?"

It wasn’t that Ji Yu thought he was useless—he truly was inherently useless.

"If you’d managed even a single thing competently, I wouldn’t have to say these things to you." Ji Yu still vividly remembered that day’s events.

Thinking back now only made her angrier.

Besides, her top priority right now was taking care of Gu Qixiao. Everything else was secondary to her.

"If you want to deal with Jiang Huai, go ahead and handle it yourself. I don’t see any necessity for us to collaborate. Even if we did, the outcome would be the same."

Evidently, the situation had progressed to this stage, and Ji Yu didn’t want to bother herself with any more troublesome matters.

Her most important concern remained with Gu Qixiao.

Gu Qixiao’s current state clearly required someone to be by his side. If she were to handle other people’s issues, then what would happen to Gu Qixiao?

"Yu, if this makes you uncomfortable, then don’t work with them. No matter what happens, you’ve always got me, your father, here by your side." Hu Jianyu also disliked people threatening Ji Yu. Since they lacked the capability themselves, that was their own problem to deal with.

Ji Yu couldn’t help but smile, knowing she had people who supported her. Naturally, this feeling was much better.

"Dad, I really don’t want to work with them. I won’t elaborate further on past issues, but they truly are far too unreasonable."

She took a deep breath, coming to terms with what they were trying to accomplish.

"Since you’ve already made up your mind, then go ahead and do whatever it is you want to do. How could your father possibly impose such things on you?" Hu Jianyu cared deeply about Ji Yu’s affairs. Seeing her cheerful again made his heart lighten as well.

Ji Yu wasn’t sure what else she should say. All she knew was that there was no need to fret over anything right now.

"Silly girl, don’t think too much."

Seeing that they had all made their decisions, Mr. Li appeared conflicted. Like Ji Yu, he also felt Charles was utterly hopeless.

Despite everything he already said, Charles still managed to come out with such meaningless words—it left him with nothing more to comment on.

"Yu, I’m feeling unwell, so I’ll head back to rest." Gu Qixiao was indeed very uncomfortable at this moment. As soon as he saw the test result, his mood had already soured, and now looking at those two only made him want to lash out.

However, he knew Ji Yu didn’t like solving problems through violence.
