Pampered by My Ex's Cousin-Chapter 961 - 962: The Unfairness of Genetic Inheritance (Part 2)
Just now, Ji Xiangting said, ’I only say this at home,’ meaning she doesn’t see them as outsiders.
This loophole, even Xin Xiaoxiao and Ji Mingyue didn’t catch it.
Being humiliated by Ji Chicheng for having low emotional and intellectual intelligence was already infuriating enough. Now Xin Xiaoxiao came out to add insult to injury, leaving Ji Xiangting annoyed and embarrassed. She sneered at Xin Xiaoxiao, "Oh right, I forgot there’s an outsider like you here." 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞
She paused, then changed her tone, "But it doesn’t matter, after all, you’re someone with no presence."
Xin Xiaoxiao wasn’t upset; she nodded and said, "Yeah, because my intelligence and emotional intelligence are high, I keep a low profile, and naturally, low-profile people have no presence."
This counterattack was simply brilliant; it even shifted half the blame onto Ji Chicheng, since he was the one who said Ji Xiangting had low emotional and intellectual intelligence.
This little girl is really scheming.
Qi Helian almost clapped in applause; after all, anyone who helps Ji Anning is one of us.
He amusingly leaned toward Qi Helian’s ear, "I wonder why Miss Xin is always snapping at people?"
But it was quite satisfying.
Qi Helian gave him a sidelong glance, "Did she snap at you?"
Xiang Yiqing: "..."
Didn’t she snap at him?
But why, facing Xiang Yiqing’s cold retort, did he find himself speechless?
"That’s not right, Xiang Yiqing."
The young master Qi belatedly realized, staring at Xiang Yiqing’s expressionless face, studying it seriously, "Why do I feel there’s a hint of protectiveness in your tone?"
Xiang Yiqing replied coldly, "Boring."
Ji Xiangting was so angry that her face turned green. With a ’smack,’ she slammed her chopsticks heavily on the table.
Then she sneered at Ji Mingyue, "Aunt, are we letting any random stray cat or dog come and have a go at our family now?"
Saying this, she stood up, picked up her wine glass, and raised it toward Ji Mingyue, "Sorry, Aunt, I can’t eat anymore. I offer this wine to you, wishing you a speedy recovery and return."
After speaking, without waiting for Ji Mingyue to lift her glass and respond, she raised her head, finished the wine in the glass, slammed it down in frustration, pulled out her chair, and left the dining room.
Seeing her sister being angered away, Ji Ruoqian was also furious. She looked directly at Xin Xiaoxiao and cursed, "I really don’t know what you are, you’re the woman my uncle doesn’t want, why are you causing trouble in our house?"
Xin Xiaoxiao lowered her head with an apologetic expression, after all, she was a guest in someone else’s house.
She always handled things with great propriety, never going overboard when she shouldn’t.
The atmosphere was visibly sinking into silence again. Qi Helian glanced at his watch, considered it for a moment, then stood up with his wine glass.
He said to Ji Mingyue, "Sister Mingyue, I have to rush back to the set tonight, I’ll be leaving soon. I raise a glass to you, wishing you a speedy recovery and return."
With that, he downed his glass first to show respect.
"Thank you," Ji Mingyue responded softly, then picked up her wine glass and took a small sip.
Qi Helian put down his wine glass, sat back down, and looked at Xiang Yiqing, teasing slightly, "Xiang Yiqing, you better play the role of a chivalrous protector well on this journey!"
Xiang Yiqing nodded, "Yeah, I’ll deal with you when I get back."
Ji Mingyue set down her wine glass and also looked at Xiang Yiqing, "Xiang Yiqing, actually, if you help me arrange things over there, I can go by myself. You’re so busy, it’ll delay you for several days."
When she was injured before, it had already taken up a lot of his time. So when Ji Chicheng suggested Xiang Yiqing should accompany her this time, she felt embarrassed and kept declining, but it was to no avail.
