Pampered by My Ex's Cousin

Chapter 416 - 410: Choice (Part Seven)

Originally, he feared him because he was afraid that he would compete for the position. But now, the old man’s attitude was very clear, as long as he married Ji Anning, he would completely let go.

So, what was there to fear about him anymore?

Ji Chicheng turned his head and gave Ji Jingfeng a scornful, cold sneer.

Then he continued forward, reached the old man’s office, and turned the doorknob to open the door.

Looking around, Ji Chicheng was the first and probably the last to ever enter the chairman’s office in J.C without knocking.

He entered and then closed the door.

The old man, hearing the noise, raised his head from his busy work and, seeing Ji Chicheng, asked in surprise, "Chicheng, why are you here?"

"You have achieved your goal, you can now hand over the position to me," Ji Chicheng walked to the old man’s opposite side and directly stated his purpose.

A flicker of excitement passed through Ji Zhengdao’s eyes, yet his expression remained deeply serious, "Is it still because of Anning?"

"Yes," Ji Chicheng nodded without any evasion.

’Ah!’ the old man sighed with a worried frown, "Have you thought about whether you can still be with her once you’re in this position?"

"Why not?" Ji Chicheng raised an eyebrow, a hint of sarcasm in his eyes, "Didn’t you also sit in this position and then had me?"

Hearing this, Ji Zhengdao’s face changed, and he shouted with a warning tone, "Ji Chicheng!"

"I won’t come a second time."

Ji Chicheng turned to leave, his steps decisive.

The old man became anxious again, "Wait a moment."

Ji Chicheng paused, restraining himself, and finally stopped. He did not turn around but listened to the old man speak.

"You know that you have always been my first choice, but Jingfeng is also my grandson, and he is full of enthusiasm now; I can’t hurt him too much, so compete fairly."

Hearing about fair competition, Ji Chicheng’s lips curled disdainfully. He turned around, looked at his grandfather, "Are you sure it’s a fair competition?"

"Of course." The old man straightened his back, put on a solemn expression as if embodying integrity, and then continued, "The Southern Central Enterprise acquisition case, whoever secures it first will be the one."

Ji Chicheng laughed, "Your favoritism is quite obvious."

...

Unable to face Ji Chicheng, Ji Anning returned to Hai City and directly went back to school. The temperature in Hai City had also dropped sharply, and the weather remained gloomy.

These days, she stayed at school. The old man occasionally called to check on her and would send someone to bring her some nutritious food.

In class, while the teacher passionately lectured, her thoughts, uncontrollably, drifted away.

Ji Chicheng had not come to look for her again; not a phone call, not a text message.

’Have you seen how many heirs born out of wedlock have taken the legitimate position?’

’Our days of bedroom relations have ended.’

"And the most we used, was this latter kind," the teacher on the stage suddenly raised his voice.

Ji Anning’s drifting thoughts were interrupted. She hurriedly shifted her gaze to the lectern; the teacher also looked right at her, eyes meeting, and he gave her a warning look.

She hurriedly nodded in understanding, raised her hands to the desk, and moved her textbooks a bit.

When her hands moved down again, she took the fine tip neutral pen from the desk.

As time passed, Jin Yuanyuan’s mood seemed to brighten considerably. Though she had lost a significant amount of weight, her complexion still wasn’t great, and her eyes no longer shone as before.
