Pampered by My Ex's Cousin

Chapter 446 - 438 Transformation (Part 1)

She looked at the old man, her expression still icy, "Didn’t you say I am your biological granddaughter? After all these years, you owe me some compensation."

The old man nodded, "Yes, what would you like, a car, a house, or what?"

"I don’t want anything." Ji Anning shook her head, "I just want you to let me go, and to treat my uncle kindly."

Having said this, she turned with tears in her eyes and walked towards the door.

She had not taken many steps when the old man said behind her, with pain in his voice, "Anning, it’s precisely because you are my biological granddaughter that I can’t let you go."

Ji Anning did not turn back, replying coldly, "I am twenty years old now, surely I have the freedom to live my own life?"

"Anning, you are a good child." The old man still wanted to retain Ji Anning.

Watching her stubborn little silhouette, he furrowed his brows, lost in deep thought.

"No." Ji Anning turned coldly, raising an eyebrow at the old man, "I’m not a good child. I fell in love with your son; are you sure you want me to stay at the Ji Family?"

"You could move out after marrying Jingfeng..."

The old man hadn’t finished speaking when Ji Anning interrupted him, "I said, I don’t want to marry Ji Jingfeng; I want to leave the Ji Family."

This time, she turned around and left without looking back.

...

Without hesitation or delay, Ji Anning immediately went back, packed her luggage, which consisted of only two medium-sized suitcases.

They contained clothes she had bought over the years with her own money.

Standing in front of the writing desk, she looked at the notebook and photo album in the drawer.

After a long while, she reached out, her hands trembling as she picked them up, these items nearly weightless yet so unbearably heavy.

Beautiful memories, too painful to touch or pick up again, yet too precious to abandon.

In the end, she walked out of the Ji Family’s door with her beautiful memories.

School was about to break for holidays in a few days, and it was the examination period; this semester, Ji Anning had missed many classes but still found exams easy.

No matter how much she thought about escaping, she had never considered giving up on her studies.

After finishing her final exams, she planned to apply for a leave of absence from school, intending to return after giving birth.

Sigh, it was one thing to think about it, but certainly not an easy path to follow.

"Anning, you know Qi Helian?"

Ji Anning was brooding over the future when Jin Yuanyuan, walking beside her, suddenly leaned in with her cellphone and excitedly asked her.

"What’s up?" Ji Anning pulled her thoughts back, glanced at Jin Yuanyuan’s cellphone, and saw the news from the day she accompanied Ji Mingyue on a blind date and met Qi Helian at the restaurant entrance.

This news came out early on, making headlines the next day; Jin Yuanyuan, who loved gossip, really had changed.

It was only now she had discovered it.

However, in the photo, she was looking down, making her recognizable only by those familiar with her.

"Qi Helian actually said you are his ’Goddess’." Jin Yuanyuan read the text below the news, her voice filled with excitement.

Ji Anning laughed, "He was joking; how could I possibly be his ’Goddess’? So many leading actresses revolve around him."

Jin Yuanyuan disagreed with her view, saying, "So what? There are many women around him, but you are also very beautiful. Moreover, he has never so openly declared anyone his ’Goddess’."

Their families were on very good terms," Ji Anning explained briefly, not mentioning Ji Chicheng.

She didn’t take Qi Helian’s statement about her being his ’Goddess’ to heart.
