Pampered by My Ex's Cousin

Chapter 447 - 439 Transformation (Part 2)

Goddess, the women by Qi Helian’s side, which one of them isn’t a goddess in many people’s eyes?

"So that’s how it is," Jin Yuanyuan nodded in understanding, then sighed, "Ah, Qi Helian really is a myth in the entertainment industry. Handsome, with a good family background, and he never gets involved in scandals."

Ji Anning just smiled and didn’t speak.

Not getting involved in scandals and not allowing scandals to be spread were two different things.

The women by his side, just those she had seen with her own eyes, there were several, and Wan Yueyue was one of them.

’Even if we never meet again, we will meet again...’

Suddenly, Ji Anning’s phone rang. She reached out and pulled it out, the caller ID showing it was her mother, far away in C city.

She had always saved her mother’s number, but she had never called. They seemed to have become accustomed to avoiding contact, as if out of fear.

Why was she calling today?

Could it be that Grandpa told Mother about her leaving the Ji Family?

Ji Anning guessed with confusion as she answered the phone, "Mom."

"Anning, your dad... your dad is not going to make it."

On the other end of the phone, her mother spoke anxiously, and Ji Anning’s face changed as she asked nervously, "What happened?"

"For some reason, the Ji Family suddenly stopped paying your father’s medical expenses yesterday."

Hearing this, Ji Anning’s hand in her pocket clenched into a fist, a hint of hatred flashing in her eyes. Her mother was sobbing on the other end, but she didn’t have time to think further and first comforted her mother, "I got it, don’t worry. I’ll go home and ask right now."

"Anning, we are dragging you down. I didn’t call you wanting you to go and ask the Ji Family to continue paying for your father’s medical expenses. We’ve been a burden for so many years. Mother just hopes you can come and see your father one last time. He keeps calling your name."

Ji Anning’s eyes teared up, and she couldn’t help but remember the joyful times she had spent with her parents as a child when her father would carry her on his shoulders, always bringing her favorite snacks when he came home from work.

Those memories, although fragmented, were... the most carefree time of her life.

She covered her mouth and choked up, then continued with a strong tone to comfort her mother, "Mom, don’t worry. I’m going home to find Grandpa now."

"Anning, you really don’t need to..."

Before her mother could finish, Ji Anning hung up the phone.

"Anning, what’s wrong?"

"Hold this for me," Ji Anning said without time to answer Jin Yuanyuan, thrusting the book she was holding into Jin Yuanyuan’s arms, and then ran towards the school gate with her phone.

Regardless of whether they were blood-related or not, they had raised her, and at least in her fragmented memory, they had doted on her so much.

So, she must do everything she could, give it her all.

Ji Anning ran out of the school gate in one breath, and just then a taxi passed by. She waved it down and got in.

"Miss, where to?"

"Ji..."

Ji Anning suddenly felt lost. Where was she going, how was she supposed to find a solution?

Knowing full well that the old master’s purpose was to make her return to the Ji Family, to make her marry Ji Jingfeng, to force Ji Chicheng to compete with Ji Jingfeng for position, should she still go back and plead with him?

"Miss?"

The taxi driver, seeing Ji Anning hesitate to speak, urged her impatiently.

"Hold on," Ji Anning said as she picked up her phone, opened her email, found a number, and dialed it.

"Hello, Anning?"

A mature female voice came from the other end, and Ji Anning spoke excitedly, "Hongjie, if I sign with your company now, can I sign right away and get a down payment?"
