Gu Xiao’s gaze landed on Ji Gao’s original target.

The couple seemed to be from a good family and had an intellectual temperament. If not for Ji Gao’s annoying behavior, the couple would not have scolded Ji Gao in the end.

Should she thank Ji Gao for paying attention when choosing her adoptive parents and not wanting her to go to a poor family?

That was what she thought, but the disgust in Gu Xiao’s eyes did not decrease at all.

Ji Chen observed Gu Xiao’s expression and sighed slightly. Then he played the second video.

In the video, Ji Gao was brought into the nursery by the nurse.

Under the guidance of the nurse, Ji Gao quickly came to a transparent crib.

When he saw the child on the crib, it was obvious from the video that Ji Gao was stunned for a moment. But soon, Ji Gao restrained the shock in his eyes and carried the child as if nothing had happened.

When Ji Gao carried the baby, they could see the baby’s condition.

The baby was very small. Her hair was dry and her face was sallow. It was obvious that he was the child of a woman who had been malnourished during her pregnancy. Jiang He had been well taken care of during her pregnancy and had always been in a good mood. She had also been paying attention to her nutrition, so it was naturally impossible for her to give birth to such a baby.

Even Ji Gao understood that this baby was not the target he had been looking for previously.

However, no matter what kind of child it was, Ji Gao did not choose to make a fuss. It was as if he did not notice anything amiss at all as he carried the child away.

Ji Chen let out a long sigh. He looked at Gu Xiao with a complicated and obscure gaze. Even he himself did not know how to describe his current mood.

“That’s what I found out.”

Gu Xiao pursed her lips tightly and did not speak.

On the other hand, Chu An looked up at Ji Chen and frowned. “Can’t these videos prove that Ji Gao induced others to commit crimes?”

Ji Chen shook his head. “There is no direct evidence to prove it. Ji Gao is completely capable of giving an explanation for himself.”

Ji Gao’s bragging in front of the intellectual couple could be explained as wanting to talk to others to vent his excitement after finally having a daughter.

Moreover, the Gu couple was not the target of Ji Gao’s inducement. He himself did not know that someone else would hear him.

As for the moment of shock when he held the child, he could also explain that he was watching the child and had not managed to react in time. As for the difference in the child, he could completely explain that he was too excited and did not look carefully.

Now even they could come up with these reasons, and Ji Gao himself had already prepared for a longer time. The reasons he prepared was probably not inferior to theirs.

When Chu An heard this, a small knot appeared between his brows.

“Are we going to let Ji Gao off just like that?” Now that they knew what Ji Gao had done in secret, couldn’t they punish him?

Ji Chen didn’t say anything, but Chu An could tell what he was thinking from his eyes.

These two videos alone were not enough to bring Ji Gao to justice.

“I’m not surprised at all.” Gu Xiao paused for a long time before saying this.

Chu An and Ji Chen looked at Gu Xiao at the same time.

As bystanders, they were already angry and sad enough, not to mention that Gu Xiao was the real person involved.

Because of her father’s selfishness, for the sake of that mistress’s child, the child, who should have grown up in a luxurious life, spent 16 years in a small mountain village. Moreover, it was 16 years of being beaten and scolded.

The more Chu An thought about it, the more his heart ached. He directly hugged Gu Xiao in his arms and stroked her back as if he was comforting her.

Ji Chen’s eyes fell on Gu Xiao, who looked indifferent.

If Gu Xiao could grow up to be so outstanding in such a small village, would she be even more outstanding if she could stay in the Ji family and receive the Ji family’s resources and education?

If Gu Xiao could grow up in the Ji family, would she not have to suffer like this? He could also grow up lovingly with her, instead of facing that selfish Ji Yao since he was young.

“Xiaoxiao, how do you want to deal with Dad?”

Ji Chen looked calm, but his voice was firm. It seemed that no matter what Gu Xiao wanted to do, he would always stand by Gu Xiao’s side..
