Chapter 304: Grievance

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

After Gu Xiao finished speaking, she gave Chu An a look. When Chu An saw this, he put down the things in his hands and walked over, planning to help Ji Chen up.

Unexpectedly, Ji Chen stared at Chu An for a moment, then turned his head away, not wanting to look at Chu An anymore. He didn’t even let the other party touch him.

Chu An looked at Ji Chen and felt a little confused. He didn’t know what Ji Chen meant.

Gu Xiao saw Ji Chen’s reaction just now. Although she did not know why Ji Chen was acting this way, she still comforted him softly out of consideration that he was drunk.

“How about letting Chu An help you out?”

Hearing Gu Xiao’s voice, Ji Chen looked at Gu Xiao again. There was a trace of grievance in his usually cold eyes.

Facing Ji Chen’s current behavior, Gu Xiao’s heart softened even more.

She had never seen Ji Chen like this. Whether it was in her previous life or this life, Ji Chen was always calm and composed in her eyes, as if most things could not arouse the other party’s emotions.

But now…

Gu Xiao looked at Ji Chen’s reaction without blinking, as if she had discovered a new world.

The Chu family was waiting for Gu Xiao to persuade Ji Chen to leave, but they did not expect to see this scene in front of them.

Moreover… was this a scene that they could watch?!

Thinking of Ji Chen’s evaluation in the circle and seeing Ji Chen’s reaction, the Chu family could not help but s.h.i.+ver.

“Xiaoxiao, you and Xiao An look after Xiao Chen. We, we will go out first.” Mrs Chu swallowed her saliva and looked away from Ji Chen.

Gu Xiao looked up at the Chu family and then at Ji Chen, who practically couldn’t recognize anyone anymore, and nodded.

“Sorry to trouble you, Aunt Chu.”

Mrs Chu shook her head. After leaving, she gave Chu An a look and asked him to take good care of Ji Chen and Gu Xiao. Then, she pushed open the door and walked out with Mr Chu and the rest.

After the door of the private room was closed, Gu Xiao looked at Ji Chen.

And because Gu Xiao ignored him just now, Ji Chen looked even more aggrieved.

“Xiaoxiao, my sister, can’t, can’t ignore me.” Ji Chen said intermittently, trying to express his unwillingness after being “snubbed”.

Hearing this, Gu Xiao looked at Ji Chen, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

“Xiaoxiao did not ignore Brother.” She explained to Ji Chen seriously, not caring that Ji Chen might not understand what she was saying at all.

Ji Chen pursed his lips and did not respond.

Just as Gu Xiao and Chu An were about to bring Ji Chen up from his seat, they heard Ji Chen talking to himself.

“No, it’s different. My sister is leaving with someone else.” Ji Chen’s voice was very low, but there was an indescribable sadness. “But, but that person is good to my sister. 1,1 can’t disagree. My sister likes it, but I don’t like it.”

When Gu Xiao and Chu An heard this, they were stunned for a moment. No one knew what they were thinking as they looked at Ji Chen.

Actually, to Ji Chen, he naturally knew that Chu An was good to Gu Xiao, and the Chu family was also good to Gu Xiao.

However, as an older brother, Ji Chen, who had only truly become an older brother after more than ten years, Chu An was no less than s.n.a.t.c.hing away this sister who had finally returned from him.

Even if Chu An treated Gu Xiao very well, it couldn’t hide the fact that Chu An had “s.n.a.t.c.hed” Gu Xiao away.

Although he was dissatisfied, he also understood that sometimes, for the sake of Gu Xiao’s happiness, he could only choose to agree. This was the only answer.

Ji Chen knew these principles, so he usually restrained himself. He could only suppress these thoughts in his heart.

But what happened today… was an accident. He didn’t know that he would get drunk.

Under the influence of alcohol, the words that he had suppressed in his heart were completely revealed by him.

Ji Chen’s body swayed as if he could not sit properly. Gu Xiao and Chu An reached out to protect Ji Chen, but found that Ji Chen was still sitting steadily on the chair after swaying.

At this moment, there was a thin layer of tears in his eyes. It was unknown if it was because he was drunk or because he was thinking about Gu Xiao.

“I am the older brother. 1 have to take good care of my sister and see her happy.” Ji Chen lowered his head and mumbled softly.

However, these words were still heard by Gu Xiao and Chu An..
