Pampered by My Ex's Cousin-Chapter 621 - 613: Drawing the Sword Against Birth Mother (Part 3)
After all, the past had already passed, as long as Ji Jingfeng didn’t bother her again.
Otherwise, she would be as ruthless as she was with Lin Yanqin today, showing no mercy.
"Anning, during the years you’ve been with the Ji Family, I’ve always treated you as my own daughter," Yang Yufang earnestly tried to explain herself, and as she did, tears started to form and her voice began to choke up, "When you were taken away, I regretted it, but by then it was too late, and all I could do was find a way to have you back by my side."
As she continued to speak, Ji Anning interrupted her again, "If you really feel sorry for me, then help me keep this secret forever. The only compensation I want from you is your assurance."
"Anning, your grandfather said that as long as you and Jingfeng are together, the Ji Family will be ours in the future," Yang Yufang excitedly persuaded Ji Anning.
"You’re still dreaming this dream? Wake up," Ji Anning said with a cold laugh, "Do you think the old man is a fool? To entrust the Ji Family to someone who has no blood relation to him at all? Then why not the daughter of Lin Yanqin, who was born into a prestigious family?"
Yang Yufang was left speechless by her question.
In fact, anyone with a normal brain could have figured that out; the old man valued his male lineage so highly and cared so much about face, he would never allow an impostor grandson to inherit the Ji Family’s vast business.
After a while, she said with a sneer, "But with your uncle in charge, will we still have a place to belong? You have a blood relation with him, and you two can’t be together."
Ji Anning looked at Yang Yufang and sighed internally.
Her ambition to seize the entire Ji Family was still unyielding, still a fantasy.
How laughable.
She said, "Just keep this secret for me, even if I can’t be with him, this secret must always remain a secret. Otherwise, your beloved Ji Jingfeng, whom you raised by your own hand, will also die a terrible death."
Hearing this, Yang Yufang’s face changed.
Ji Anning gave her a cold look without another word and walked past her.
...
After leaving Garden Island, she arrived in Hai City well past midnight.
In the luxurious upscale neighborhood, Ji Anning was stopped at the entrance gate. She paced in front of the intercom system, hesitating to press the familiar door number she knew so well.
She turned and walked away.
"She left."
Under a nearby tree, within the darkness of a black sedan, the man in the driver’s seat kept his eyes on Ji Anning’s departing figure, held a cell phone in his hand, and spoke on the phone while starting the car.
"Keep following."
The tall man stood by the window, instructing the person on the other end of the phone call, and then he hung up.
A few dim lights were on in the living room, casting his figure in an exceptionally elongated shadow.
’Miss Anning seems very cautious and guarded. She didn’t say a word when she came in, directly calling the second lady to her room; I couldn’t hear what they were saying from outside.’
Ji Anning, what exactly is restraining you?
"Daddy, I want mommy."
Fenfen, who had been sound asleep, suddenly woke up, ran out of her room barefoot with a pout, looking at Ji Chicheng with teary eyes.
The little girl still had a shadow in her heart from being suddenly carried away by a stranger at the airport, her gaze slightly fearful.
Ji Chicheng quickly put all thoughts aside, strode over, picked up Fenfen, and kissed her forehead tenderly, comforting her with, "Tomorrow you’ll see mommy, sleep peacefully now, Fenfen."
