Pampered by My Ex's Cousin

Chapter 458 - 450 Transformation (Part 13)

"Hurry up and tell me, is the little bun in your belly Qi Helian’s?"

Ji Anning tried to speak several times but was interrupted by her, and Jin Yuanyuan kept bombarding her with questions. She didn’t even have a chance to interject, so she simply hung up the phone and looked at the news instead.

She felt that reading the news was more reliable than asking this gossip-obsessed woman.

After hanging up, Ji Anning randomly opened a webpage in her browser, and sure enough, the main cover of the entertainment section was a photo of her and Qi Helian.

But wasn’t this still the photo from the last time she went on a blind date with Ji Mingyue? How did it make it back to the hot headlines again?

She looked at the news headline: "Pop Prince Qi Helian’s Suspected Love Affair Revealed, Mysterious Girlfriend Exposed."

That mysterious girlfriend was her.

Then, the comment Qi Helian used last time to deal with Ji Mingyue, "Anning is beautiful, she is the ’Goddess’ in our hearts," was also variously misinterpreted.

Ji Anning almost spat blood, complaining about the editor of this news content while harboring a doubt in her mind.

Why had this news hit the headlines again?

Moreover, this time it specifically mentioned her by name, even exposing that she was once the Ji family’s daughter-in-law.

This revelation made her and Qi Helian’s relationship appear even more affectionate, claiming she didn’t like the J.C boss’s wife, quite like the madam of the Qi family.

Of course, such news wouldn’t lack cyber warriors and trolls, many of whose comments spoken in a sour tone chastised her.

Ji Anning read a few pages of comments; though there were few blessings for her and Qi Helian’s happiness, they were extremely scarce.

She didn’t continue reading and returned to the homepage, dialing Wang Zhuoling’s number.

As soon as it connected, the other side answered, and hearing Wang Zhuoling’s "Hello," Ji Anning asked, "Sister Wang, have you seen today’s news?"

"Yes, I saw it; you and Qi Helian, very well matched."

Wang Zhuoling’s tone sounded very calm.

Ji Anning got straight to the point, "Sister Wang, is this one of your schemes too?"

The news being back on the headlines was inexplicable. After much thought, only Wang Zhuoling came to mind, last night Qi Helian had pulled her into the elevator in front of Wang Zhuoling.

With her understanding of Wang Zhuoling these past two months, her schemes ran deep, so how could she not take this clear and open road?

"Just a former headline making a comeback, that’s all."

Wang Zhuoling did not deny it. With a tone as light as a passing cloud, she indirectly admitted it was her doing.

Ji Anning’s heart immediately stirred a flare of anger, but then she thought about the entertainment industry; how many had not used scandal for publicity?

If she had chosen this path, she should adapt to the environment of this circle, shouldn’t she?

In terms of her own background, she was worse off than many stars. What right did she have to act haughty?

Ji Anning thought, her lips reluctantly pursed, "I understand, if there’s nothing else, I’ll hang up now."

"Tonight, there is a dinner with the Asian representative and their chief designer of the X brand, and all the brand’s spokespersons will be there. Check yourself over simply at noon, I’ll bring a makeup artist over later."

Before hanging up, Wang Zhuoling gave Ji Anning another instruction.

Ji Anning nodded with an "Mhm," then hung up the phone. She looked again at her and Qi Helian’s news, self-mockingly curving her lips.

Just let her become someone who does whatever it takes to achieve her goals.

...

"Ridiculous, absolutely ridiculous."

In the office of the J.C chairman, Ji Zhengdao saw the news about Ji Anning and Qi Helian, and he exploded with anger, crumpling the newspaper into a ball and throwing it into the trash can.
