Pampered by My Ex's Cousin

Chapter 459 - 451 Transformation (Part 14)

Ji Anning was still nominally his granddaughter-in-law, but not only had she entered the entertainment industry, she also got embroiled in a scandal.

The old man always cared about his image, and in the most important rules of the family, there was a prohibition against all negative news.

He was afraid that anyone from the Ji Family would become a laughingstock, and seeing Ji Anning’s news made him feel as if his face was being slapped resoundingly.

The aides and secretaries beside him were so frightened that they kept their heads down, not daring to breathe aloud.

The old patriarch’s face turned an iron blue as he paced back and forth in front of the large floor-to-ceiling window. He stopped, his fingers trembling as he pointed at Assistant Wu and commanded, "Go and arrange to terminate all her contracts."

The upscale private club housed dining, card games, and hot springs.

The cars parked at the entrance, as far as the eye could see, were various luxury vehicles.

Ji Anning wore a white striped undershirt paired with a Barbary classic trench coat, slim-fit cropped jeans, and Phil Gom’s flat shoes—safe, comfortable, and yet stylish.

She walked shoulder to shoulder with Wang Zhuoling, led by a waiter, into a luxurious private room filled with various entertainment facilities.

There were pool tables and mahjong machines, and even KTV.

The lights inside the private room were bright, and Ji Anning immediately spotted several familiar faces, all of them brand endorsers and big shots.

Among them was Wan Yueyue.

"Mr. Li Si, don’t just get caught up reminiscing with the celebs, let me introduce you to the new generation from our company," Wang Zhuoling smilingly led Ji Anning to a slightly plump foreign man sitting on the sofa.

The man was probably under fifty, with golden hair mixed with a few strands of white.

Upon hearing Wang Zhuoling’s words, the man instinctively looked at Ji Anning, his blue eyes narrowing as he sized up her face.

Wang Zhuoling hurriedly introduced her, "This is our company’s newly signed beauty with real talent, Ji Anning."

"Oh, oh, oh!" Mr. Li Si seemed to recall something and nodded, saying, "The day before yesterday, I still came back from W country on the same flight as young Mr. Qi."

Perhaps because he was based in China, Mr. Li Si spoke Mandarin particularly well.

Ji Anning was extremely annoyed, thinking what does you returning on the same flight as Qi Helian have to do with me?

"Anning, this is Mr. Barro, the design director of X brand." Wang Zhuoling introduced another middle-aged man of darker complexion sitting next to Mr. Li Si.

This time, she used English.

Ji Anning nodded slightly in his direction and also greeted him with a ’hello’ in English.

X brand was an international luxury brand. On the way over, Wang Zhuoling told her that they had come to China to scout for a new season’s brand ambassador.

Originally, she should have brought another person with higher fame from the company, but that person was overseas filming a movie and couldn’t make it, so she had brought her instead.

Wang Zhuoling’s implication for her was also very clear—strive to become the new season’s ambassador for X brand.

After the greetings, Ji Anning sat down next to Mr. Li Si, and the waiter immediately came over and poured a glass of Western liquor for her and Wang Zhuoling.

"I suddenly remembered you."

Just as Ji Anning hesitated whether to pretend and just hold the wine glass or directly pick up a drink, a sweet woman’s voice suddenly came from up front.

Intuition told me the words were addressed to him.

She looked up and saw a tall woman walking towards her, wearing a white dress that fell to her ankles and sporting flowing long wavy hair, every step taken with the same elegance.

Wan Yueyue!
