Pampered by My Ex's Cousin-Chapter 287 - 281 Knocking at the Door in the Middle of the Night (Part 5)

At that time, he must have been angry, angry that she seemed afraid to become entangled with him.

So... was it the same this time?

He invited her to get in the car, but she told him to wait at the intersection, so he left in a huff.

But she wasn’t sure.

As Ji Anning walked and thought, she quickened her pace. Just as she was about to reach the staircase, she heard Ji Ruoqian’s crying coming from downstairs.

She paused for a moment, then steeled herself and continued downstairs.

Ji Ruoqian was sitting on the sofa, with the doctor treating her wound, while Lin Yanqin stood by with a look of distress.

Ji Anning braced herself for the blame she expected to receive as she walked downstairs, holding onto the railing, one step at a time.

"Doctor Zhang, will my face be disfigured?"

With the wound nearly treated, Ji Ruoqian sobbed and asked Doctor Zhang.

Doctor Zhang shook his head, "It’s not serious, just a little scratch."

"How is that possible? I must be disfigured, right?" Ji Ruoqian clutched Doctor Zhang’s arm in agitation, crying even harder, "I know, you don’t have to comfort me."

She acted as if she had lost a limb.

Lin Yanqin also chimed in, "Yes, Doctor Zhang, Ruoqian bled so much just now, how could it be just a minor scratch?"

As she spoke, she looked at Ji Ruoqian’s wound and her eyes reddened as if she too was about to cry.

Ji Anning couldn’t help but internally scoff at the mother and daughter, thinking they were exaggerating their performance, making it easy to see through their intentions.

Doctor Zhang paid no attention to the pair, put down the forceps he was holding, and reached into his medical kit for a large-sized bandage, ready to tear it open.

Lin Yanqin frowned, "Such a serious injury, and just a bandage will do?"

Doctor Zhang was at a loss for words, looking at Lin Yanqin he said, "Madame, it’s really just a scrape. Children’s skin is delicate, it’s normal for them to bleed easily; it’s not that exaggerated."

"Forget it, I’m taking Ruoqian to the hospital, to the dermatology department," Lin Yanqin waved her hand, signaling Doctor Zhang could leave.

Doctor Zhang felt helpless, "Well... as Madame wishes."

Saying this, he put the bandage back into the medical kit, then began to tidy up the gauze he had used to clean Ji Ruoqian’s wound.

Lin Yanqin intervened again, "Don’t tidy up. We should keep these for the old master to see when he comes back, to see how Ji Chicheng bullied his own niece."

Doctor Zhang showed his speechlessness once again, he pursed his lips, "Then I’ll be going. Madame, if there is anything else, please call me."

Lin Yanqin waved him off impatiently, "Get going, you’re no use to us."

She never had any manners for the people the Ji Family paid for.

Doctor Zhang seemed to be used to it, and left quite undisturbed with his medical kit in hand.

Fearing that the mother and daughter might target her again, Ji Anning saw Doctor Zhang leave and quickly thought of an excuse, calling out, "Doctor Zhang, I have a question to consult you about."

She hurried after Doctor Zhang, effortlessly ignoring Lin Yanqin and her daughters.

"Miss Anning, what is it?" Doctor Zhang stopped at the doorway waiting for Ji Anning, a middle-aged man in his forties, whose smile was very friendly.

Ji Anning chuckled softly, shaking her head and replying in a low voice, "It’s nothing, I just wanted to walk out with you."

Doctor Zhang smiled knowingly upon hearing this, "You’re still very clever."

Ji Anning changed her shoes and walked out with Doctor Zhang, shoulder to shoulder down the stairs.
