Pampered by My Ex's Cousin-Chapter 310 - 304: The Mysterious Boyfriend is a Tycoon (Part 3)

Without waiting for Auntie Wu to respond, Ji Anning waved her hand and said, "No need, I’ll just buy something to eat at school, otherwise I’ll be late."

The old master didn’t insist, he glanced outside the window, then said, "Let Old Chen take you, you won’t make it by bus at this hour."

Ji Anning shook her head and declined, "Grandpa, that’s okay, I’ll just take a taxi."

Her gaze never dared to meet the old master’s astute eyes, fearing that her nervousness would be seen through by him.

In the past, she had always longed for his attention, hoping he would be more affectionate and notice her more.

Now that she had it, she found herself wishing that he would be cold and indifferent to her just like before, not even glancing her way when she greeted him.

Watching the slightly nervous Ji Anning, the old master seemed to sigh silently in resignation, "That’s fine too. Use the supplementary card your mother gave you freely, your Aunt mentioned that there have never been any charges on your card. Remember, you are from the Ji Family, there’s no need to be restrained."

Ji Anning nodded and softly uttered, "Mhm," then said, "Grandpa, I’m leaving."

Then she also nodded slightly to Auntie Wu beside her.

Ji Zhengdao watched Ji Anning’s particularly docile figure with affection in his eyes.

Auntie Wu also watched Ji Anning leave the house before turning back, noticing Ji Zhengdao’s expression. Surprised for a moment, and after pondering briefly, she smiled and said, "Miss Anning really is sensible.

"Yes," the old master nodded with a pampering smile at the corner of his lips, murmuring, "She still resembles her."

Auntie Wu didn’t understand what he meant, "Old Master?"

Ji Zhengdao composed himself and turned to Auntie Wu, "Go prepare breakfast, have Old Chen send it over in a while."

...

There really was no bus in the morning, so Ji Anning had to take a taxi.

Once at school, she didn’t go back to her dormitory, but headed straight to the playground, where she saw Jin Yuanyuan warming up from afar. Ji Anning smiled broadly and quickened her pace, calling out, "Yuanyuan."

Upon hearing Ji Anning call her, Jin Yuanyuan immediately straightened up, "Anning, you actually came."

"Of course." Ji Anning approached Jin Yuanyuan and from the bag she was carrying, took out a small packet and handed it to her, "I brought you breakfast."

Jin Yuanyuan shook her head in refusal, "I’m on a diet, I’m not eating breakfast.

With that, she continued with her warm-up exercises.

Ji Anning rolled her eyes, "Cut it out, dieting is the dumbest way to lose weight. Let’s eat together after we’re done running."

She placed her bag aside and started warming up, imitating Jin Yuanyuan.

Just then, a girl’s voice tinged with sarcasm came from ahead.

"Wow, Jin Yuanyuan, you’ve found yourself a partner."

Ji Anning instinctively looked up, three girls dressed in white sportswear were walking towards them.

The leader, upon seeing Ji Anning, said with a smile, "Isn’t this Xiangting’s sister-in-law."

Her tone was equally sarcastic.

As they approached, stopping about half a meter from Ji Anning, the one in the middle looked at Jin Yuanyuan and mocked, "Jin Yuanyuan, it’s bad enough that you’re daydreaming about boys, but you also dragged a married woman to join you."

Although they had never had a falling out with Ji Anning, they were all part of Ji Xiangting’s circle at T University, and kissing up to Ji Xiangting, the precious daughter of the Ji Family, they naturally disliked Ji Anning along with Ji Xiangting.
