Pampered by My Ex's Cousin-Chapter 637 - 629: You’re Not Welcome (Part Four)

Fenfen was terrified by Ji Jingfeng’s sudden move and strongly resisted him, writhing restlessly on her and calling out "Mommy."

Not wanting to argue or create a scene in front of her father’s memorial hall, Ji Anning, suppressing the rage in her heart, coldly said to Ji Jingfeng, "Ji Jingfeng, this is my father’s memorial hall. Please show some respect and give me Fenfen."

As she spoke, she reached out and forcefully took Fenfen back.

She was about to call her assistant over but was preempted by the old man’s voice, "Assistant Wu, take the child outside to play for a while."

Upon receiving the old man’s order, Assistant Wu did not even respond, immediately going over to Ji Anning’s side to pick up Fenfen.

Fenfen, frightened, hid in Ji Anning’s arms. Her little hands tightly clutched Ji Anning’s clothes. She didn’t dare to cry out loud, whispering, "Mommy, want Mommy."

"Mommy will hold you, won’t let anyone else hold you." Ji Anning patted Fenfen’s back to comfort her, then looked at Ji Zhengdao with a cold smile, "Chairman Ji, you’ve come all this way, thank you very much."

Her words carried little sincerity, and then she handed Fenfen directly to her assistant.

Assistant Wu still tried to take Fenfen from the assistant, but a fierce look from Ji Anning stopped him, "Assistant Wu, didn’t you see the child is very scared of strangers?"

Having said that, she coldly withdrew her gaze.

Assistant Wu was taken aback, looking at Ji Anning with a hint of fear in his eyes.

But he wasn’t surprised; he just wasn’t used to this sharp-edged version of Ji Anning. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

"Chairman Ji, the deceased should be respected. Since you are here, please offer a stick of incense to my father." Ji Anning took three sticks of incense and handed them to Ji Zhengdao with both hands.

Formal, polite.

Ji Zhengdao frowned, "Anning, have you become so distant with your grandfather too?"

His expression and tone conveyed displeasure.

Her mother quickly followed with a reprimand of Ji Anning, "Exactly, this child is too thoughtless."

Ji Anning ignored her mother’s reproach, asking her, "Mom, please look after things here, I’ll go to the resting room to see if Fenfen is making any fuss."

She was still worried about Fenfen, afraid the old man might have some schemes.

"Isn’t Uncle Jingfeng in the resting room? Fenfen going there will disturb Uncle Jingfeng’s rest, which would be inappropriate," her mother frowned as she spoke, and after thinking, she continued, "Why don’t you have your assistant take Fenfen somewhere else to play?"

Upon hearing this, Ji Zhengdao’s expression changed abruptly, his hands clenched into fists behind his back.

Yet his voice was surprisingly gracious and generous as he spoke to Ji Anning’s mother, "It’s fine. Jingfeng sustained some injuries yesterday and couldn’t immediately come with Anning to arrange things, so I had his uncle come over first to help out. His uncle will also be going back with me later."

"I see." As if a fog had lifted, her mother nodded in sudden realization, "I was wondering, how could we keep bothering Uncle all this time to stay here."

Then she looked at Ji Zhengdao again, adding, "It’s really embarrassing to always trouble you."

"There’s no need to feel embarrassed; we are all family," Ji Zhengdao replied to Ji Anning’s mother, and then went forward, lit the incense sticks, and offered them.

Then he turned to Ji Jingfeng, "Jingfeng, you should also offer incense to your father-in-law."

"Sure." Ji Jingfeng agreed readily, walked over, stared at the portrait of Ji Anning’s father, and a sinister smile crossed his eyes, "Father-in-law, don’t worry, I will take good care of Anning and Fenfen."
