Chapter 297: I Entrust Jiang Yi to You

Jiang Yi had been on a hunger strike for two days when Auntie Cui, frantic, ran to Elder Chief to plead on her behalf.

In the past, even if Jiang Yi missed only one meal, Elder Chief would've been beside himself with worry.

But this time, Elder Chief was determined to hold out against Jiang Yi to the very end.

During this period, He Gu had visited once. Unfortunately, Elder Chief didn't even let him through the door, so He Gu had to leave in a huff.

However, Gu Xici was very much favored by Elder Chief and was asked to stay.

When Jiang Yi woke up from her noon nap, she found Gu Xici sitting by her bed, flipping through a book.

Jiang Yi hadn't had a bite to eat or drink in two days, and her face was ashen.

She glanced at Gu Xici and asked, "Did my grandfather send you?"

Gu Xici put down the book, smiled, and nodded honestly, "Yes."

Jiang Yi then closed her eyes, not planning to engage in further conversation with Gu Xici.
