Pampered by My Ex's Cousin-Chapter 285 - 279 Knocking at the Door in the Middle of the Night (Part 3)
Upon hearing this, Lin Yanqin was terrified and quickly stretched out her hand to cover Ji Ruoqian’s mouth, fiercely warning her, "Shut your mouth!"
Then she cast a fearful look at Ji Anning, who was sitting opposite and reading the newspaper.
Ji Anning just happened to look up at them, a cold expression on her face.
Although Ji Chicheng had enjoyed the grandfather’s favor from a young age, he had also always been plagued by the controversy of being a "bastard." Whenever people mentioned the "Ji Family," they always brought up the "bastard" beloved by the grandfather, even at school. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎
No one’s nature is innately aloof; it all relates to the environment in which they are raised.
Therefore, his indifference towards everyone was not without reason.
Ji Ruoqian just happened to touch on a sore spot, and when Ji Anning looked over, she became her venting outlet.
"What are you looking at?" She glared with a fierce look, terrifying to behold.
Ji Anning remained unmoved, asking in a cold voice, "Are you not afraid I will go tell Grandfather or your uncle about what you said?"
In fact, she really wanted to pick up the milk in front of her and throw it at her this very moment.
How dare she mention her beloved uncle.
Ji Ruoqian slammed the table angrily, "Ji Anning, who gave you the courage? Just because Grandfather places a little importance on you, don’t get too arrogant."
She was the youngest in the family and aside from lording over the servants, the only other person she could bully was Ji Anning.
But now even Ji Anning seemed to be bullying her, which she absolutely could not tolerate.
After shouting, she glared at Ji Anning with even more scorn, "Your mother-in-law was a nightclub hostess, and even though she married into our Ji Family, she couldn’t change her lowly status. Just look at her situation now, it will be your situation in the future because you two are alike, born lowly."
In this household, Ji Anning was scapegoated by everyone, and even the servants bullied her when she was younger.
Seeing Ji Ruoqian targeting Ji Anning, Lin Yanqin did not intervene.
Ji Anning had heard such things too many times and was already numb to them. She ignored the comments and lowered her head to continue reading the newspaper.
It was always like this, displaying such composure, as if she didn’t care about her at all. Enraged, Ji Ruoqian picked up the milk in front of her and splashed it at Ji Anning.
Ji Anning couldn’t dodge in time, and the pure white milk splashed all over her face, getting into her eyes and temporarily blinding her.
She hurriedly reached for the napkin on the table to wipe it off.
Ji Ruoqian’s scolding voice came from across the table again, "I warn you, from now on in this house, you’d better keep a lower profile. With my grandfather’s family’s power, my mother’s status in the Ji Family will never change."
Watching Ji Anning’s disheveled state, Ji Xiangting felt that bullying such an easy target was no longer interesting. Finally, she spoke up to persuade Ji Ruoqian, "Enough already, why say so much to her? Ji Jingfeng has already been driven out by Grandfather to be independent, she’s just eating an extra mouthful in the Ji Family, just think of her as another Niuniu."
Niuniu was Ji Ruoqian’s pet dog.
Ji Ruoqian sneered, "It’s more than the cost of raising an extra dog, her parents cost the Ji Family over a million a year just to stay alive."
"Young Master."
Ji Ruoqian’s voice was loud, and Ji Chicheng heard her insulting Ji Anning the moment he descended the stairs. His face darkened, he took long strides, and burst into the dining room.
Unstoppable.
Upon entering, he glanced at Ji Anning, and the hand by his side clenched into a fist, a trace of killing intent crossing his eyes. He then turned his head, his gaze sharply sweeping towards Ji Ruoqian.
