Pampered by My Ex's Cousin-Chapter 325 - 319: Mysterious Boyfriend is a Tycoon (18)

Their harmony was limited to being at home, in front of the old man, where everyone wanted to act sweetly to win his favor.

Once they left the Ji Family’s front door, there was no longer any need to pretend, especially now, since his mother had been exiled to the island by the grandfather, and he had been driven out of the home. Seeing Ji Xiangting coming to see him, his first reaction was that she was definitely there to mock him.

Though his mother’s status in the family was nothing to boast of, he was still the grandfather’s only grandson, and naturally, he should not be bullied by his cousin who would someday be married off.

As Ji Xiangting approached closer, Ji Jingfeng’s gaze narrowed, taking on an increasingly condescending look.

"What? Can’t even distinguish right from wrong anymore?" Ji Xiangting lightly raised an eyebrow, speaking righteously, "Even if our mothers don’t get along, even if I look down on your mother, you and I are related by blood. You are my direct cousin, tied by blood. Now that you’re wandering around for a woman, neglecting your studies, is it so unreasonable for me to show some concern?"

Ji Jingfeng scoffed, "Sister, that sounds quite noble."

He looked utterly unconvinced.

Ji Xiangting didn’t mind Ji Jingfeng’s attitude and walked up to him, feigning concern as she reproached, "Ji Jingfeng, you only have so much ambition, quarrelling with grandfather over a woman. Have you been watching too many TV dramas? Is a woman more important than your status as the heir of the Ji Family?"

"Hmph!" Ji Jingfeng snorted, puffing up his chest confidently, "My status as the heir of my own family can never be changed."

Ji Xiangting burst into laughter, "You’re really funny, thinking grandfather truly sees you as the sole heir of the Ji Family?"

Ji Jingfeng glanced at her sideways, his lips curling into a sneer, "Or do you think grandfather would leave the Ji Family in yours or Ji Ruoqian’s care?"

He was utterly confident about this; no matter how inadequate he was, the old man would never hand over the position to his granddaughters, otherwise his mother wouldn’t have been able to enter the Ji Family’s gates because of him.

Ji Xiangting’s face changed momentarily, but before Ji Jingfeng could notice, she quickly regained her smile, looking at him and kindly reminding, "Don’t forget we still have an uncle."

Previously, she wanted to win over Ji Chicheng to deal with Lin Yanqin and Ji Jingfeng, but with Ji Chicheng’s indifferent attitude, no amount of coziness could warm him up, and now the situation seemed like Ji Jingfeng was easier to manipulate.

A man who could be so passionate about love was mostly seen as useless, only focused on personal feelings. Such useless men were easier to manipulate.

Ji Jingfeng dismissed the idea, "You know what grandfather values most, he would never let his illegitimate son inherit the family business and make a fool of the Ji Family,"

In Ji Jingfeng’s mind, Ji Chicheng was never a threat to him,

"Alright." Ji Xiangting nodded, then looked at Ji Jingfeng again, asking, "Let me ask you, do you have a defined share in the Ji Family’s properties now?"

Ji Jingfeng was stunned, his mouth agape, yet he did not answer for a long time.

He and his mother currently had no specific shares in the Ji Family.

Seeing his reaction, Ji Xiangting chuckled, then added, "Neither do we, but our uncle does. He owns thirty percent, and that’s set in stone. Who knows if grandfather has another will somewhere, afraid that even if you take the heir’s position, you’d just be holding an empty title. With our uncle holding the most shares, wouldn’t he still have the power to pull you down?"
