Unfortunately, Ji Yao was facing the reborn Gu Xiao now. She was destined not to be able to take advantage of her.

The test papers were marked very quickly. In just a day, the results were out.

However, before the results were posted, Ji Yao was called away by the teacher.

Gu Xiao looked at Ji Yao’s red eyes and understood that she had probably been discovered for cheating. After all, when she was writing mathematics, she was already halfway through it. Later, she had corrected her answers. It was obvious that something was wrong.

The school was still afraid of the Ji family who was behind Ji Yao, so when they found out that she had cheated, they did not report it and only called her family to pick her up.

The person who came to pick her up was Mr Ji.

The reason why Gu Xiao knew was that Mr Ji had specially walked past her class and even looked at her for a few seconds.

Not only did Gu Xiao notice it, but Zhou Luo also noticed it.

Zhou Luo raised her hand and gently poked Gu Xiao. Then, she leaned close to her and whispered, “Is Ji Yao’s father looking at you? Is it really as the Internet says, that you’re actually his biological daughter?”

Gu Xiao looked at Zhou Luo’s gossipy gaze and opened her mouth. After a long time, she said, “I’m not sure.”

It wasn’t that Gu Xiao didn’t want to say it, but she didn’t know what to say because she hadn’t thought about what to do next yet.

However, when Mr Ji suddenly looked at her for a few seconds, Gu Xiao had a bad feeling.

It had to be said that Gu Xiao’s hunch was accurate.

On the second day after the results were out, it was a rest day.

Gu Xiao was too tired from studying, so she decided to take a break. However, she did not expect the doorbell to ring.

Looking out through the peephole, she saw that it was Mr Ji.

“Who is it?” Chu An walked over and asked Gu Xiao.

Gu Xiao didn’t say anything and only moved aside for Chu An to take a look.

After Chu An saw who it was, he frowned and said to Gu Xiao, “Xiaoxiao, if you want to open the door, open it. Anyway, I’m here, so I definitely won’t let anything happen to you. After all, I was once a great general!”

When Gu Xiao heard this, the worry in her heart lessened a lot. “Then I’ll open the door and see what he wants to do.”

After the door opened, Mr Ji smiled. He looked at Gu Xiao and said, “Xiaoxiao, I’m your father.”

Gu Xiao:”…”

After saying this, Mr Ji handed the folder in his hand to Gu Xiao and said, “This is Ji Yao’s birth certificate. There’s also a copy of your birth certificate that I got someone to get from Gu Shan. This also proves that you and Ji Yao were born in the same hospital back then. There’s also this paternity test between us.”

Gu Xiao remained silent.

Mr Ji did not feel awkward and continued, “I also got someone to find the surveillance video in the hospital back then. This also clearly recorded the entire process of you being swapped by Gu Shan and Xie Fang. If you want to see it, I can play it now.”

After saying this, Mr Ji was about to take out his phone.

However, Gu Xiao interrupted, “There’s no need.”

When Gu Xiao first heard Mr Ji’s words, she was still a little stunned. This was because in her previous life, although they had taken the initiative to acknowledge her, they had been unwilling. It was completely different from now.

However, after thinking about it for a while, Gu Xiao understood that Ji Yao was not famous this time and could not bring him any benefits. Coincidentally, at this moment, he realized that her reputation was greater than Ji Yao’s, so he happily came to look for her.

Mr Ji still did not know that he had been seen through. After hearing Gu Xiao’s words, he frowned in disbelief and asked, “Why do you refuse? You’re clearly not a village girl anymore, and you can even become the daughter of a wealthy family!”

Gu Xiao did not want to shed all pretense of cordiality, so she only asked, “How long did it take you to find these?”

Mr Ji did not understand why Gu Xiao asked, but he still answered, “Less than two days.”

After replying, Mr Ji started to encourage her. “This is the speed at which the people trained by our Ji family does things. As long as you return to the Ji family, you can have all these.”

Gu Xiao was not moved at all. She just said calmly, “So you didn’t even need two days to investigate what happened back then, but I lived under such circumstances for 16 years. So why didn’t you investigate back then? I don’t believe that you didn’t realize that Ji Yao didn’t look like you all these years and didn’t suspect anything..”
