Wealthy Beauty in the 60s-Chapter 670 - 672 Intriguing (Life Like Water 10000+)

Gao Jiaxing had the bodyguard investigate secretly. A few days later, the bodyguard captain, Li Long, placed the information on the desk. Gao Jiaxing and Xia Xiao looked it over, finding that the Gong family indeed had unusual dealings with the Gao family, though there was no apparent hostility on the surface.

Thus, Li Long hadn’t uncovered anything further, but a particular photo caught Xia Xiao’s attention.

Xia Xiao frowned as he looked at the photo, and Gao Jiaxing asked, "What’s wrong, is there a problem with this photo?"

"There’s a problem," Xia Xiao pointed to the woman in the photo and said to Gao Jiaxing, "This is Feiteng’s ex-girlfriend, the one from the Han family."

Gao Jiaxing paused, his gaze also fixing on the photo. The woman in the photo didn’t seem particularly close to Elder Gong, but her slightly protruding belly and being Feiteng’s ex-girlfriend, standing beside Elder Gong—this was inherently unusual.

"Keep investigating," Gao Jiaxing instructed Li Long.

Li Long agreed and left with the photo.

Feiteng was dumbfounded when he learned about it; it had been a while since he had seen Han Jiaojie, and he hadn’t expected her to be hiding at the Gong family’s.

Recalling what Han Jiaojie had said before, it wasn’t hard to guess that when Han Jiaojie mentioned her father wanted her to marry someone else, she was referring to Elder Gong.

Feiteng didn’t need Xia Xiao or Gao Jiaxing to tell him; he secretly started to investigate Han Jiaojie himself, and soon, Han Jiaojie’s information was all dug up.

Although Elder Gong had erased Han Jiaojie’s past after the Han family incident, she had followed Elder Gong and initially worked as a life assistant taking care of him.

However, Han Jiaojie had registered for marriage with Elder Gong’s driver. The candid photos taken, however, were not of her and the driver but always with Elder Gong, even the one where her belly was slightly visible and she was wearing maternity clothes, which was intriguing.

After joining Elder Gong, Han Jiaojie’s place became even more established when she became pregnant with Elder Gong’s child, and their first child was a son.

Elder Gong had lost two wives previously. Initially, Mr. Han had pushed Han Jiaojie forward, and Elder Gong had indeed intended to marry her, but the Han family had an incident.

Han Jiaojie’s brother brought her to Elder Gong’s, and Elder Gong’s interest in marrying Han Jiaojie waned and asked her to stay as a life assistant.

Although Han Jiaojie gave birth to a son, Elder Gong didn’t legitimize him, being cautious by nature and already having three sons. Even though Han Jiaojie bore him an old-age son, Elder Gong couldn’t acknowledge her son under his name without facing penalties for over-procreation.

However, having given birth to a son, Han Jiaojie’s status rose significantly beside Elder Gong.

Now, Han Jiaojie was pregnant with a second child, and with Elder Gong’s affection, her life was even better.

Yet, she wasn’t Elder Gong’s wife. Although she served Elder Gong, the people in the Gong family treated Han Jiaojie almost like a servant, which frustrated her immensely.

But besides that, Elder Gong was very generous to Han Jiaojie, giving her much wealth, even owning two newspapers as compensation, implicating that Han Jiaojie was also behind the scenes against the Gao family.

The idea of forming a marital alliance with the Gao family was also suggested by Han Jiaojie, as Elder Gong had a granddaughter who was not particularly attractive but came from a powerful maternal family and was spoiled and pampered by the Gong family, known for her spoilt and petulant nature.

Elder Gong liked the idea upon hearing it, considering Shitou’s nationally recognized intellect matched well with his granddaughter, so he mentioned it to Gao Jiaxing.

In reality, Han Jiaojie preferred the idea of a daughter from the Gao family marrying in, but unfortunately, Gao Feiteng had no daughter. Thinking it over, she felt marrying the spoiled and wilful granddaughter from the Gong family to the Gao family’s talented eldest grandson would turn the Gao family upside down, a thought that greatly pleased her.

Han Jiaojie couldn’t stand the Gong family’s ugly girl, even though she was the granddaughter of a concubine, but her mother’s powerful background kept her status high.

The more it was so, the more Han Jiaojie resented Gao Feiteng and Jing Hao, and with Gao Feiling marrying Jing Yao, Han Jiaojie felt even more that Gao Feiteng and Jing Hao were tricking her.

On the Wen family’s part, they genuinely wanted an alliance with the Gao family, mainly because they valued the Gao family’s genetic attributes, who had a hereditary twin trait.

Arranging marriages between families’ future generations was a common practice, but Gao Jiaxing and Xia Xiao both disliked presetting such unions. They could accept relationships like Feiling and Jing Yao’s where both parties saw eye to eye and got along well.

The grandchildren were still young, and their future was uncertain; Gao Jiaxing and Xia Xiao were against prearranged marriages.

Moreover, due to Wen Shufei, Xia Xiao had a negative opinion about the Wen family and remained cautious.

On Feiteng’s part, he immediately called Jing Hao, who said, "I was wondering why I’ve been undermined recently, it turns out it’s here."

Now, although Jing Hao was in the political field, his position wasn’t high. Without his network of relationships, he would have been in trouble.

Several times, Jing Hao had to be cautious, or else he would have fallen into pits. Over the years, he faced many obstacles orchestrated by the Gong family.

Although it was discovered that the Gong family was involved, they were unaware of Han Jiaojie’s existence; she was low-profile, had never had a chance to leave the Gong family, and given her sensitive status, exposing her wouldn’t have been good.

Not many people knew, and now, living by Elder Gong’s side, she had changed her identity, using her mother’s surname and renaming herself Xu Jiao.

Years had passed, and Han Jiaojie was pregnant with a second child, not as cautious as before.

Jing Hao smirked, impressed by Han Jiaojie’s audacity, not thinking that finding such a solid backing guaranteed everything.

Initially, Jing Hao had no particular animosity towards Han Jiaojie, unwilling to trouble a woman. But now, Han Jiaojie had provoked him.
