Pampered by My Ex's Cousin

Chapter 473 - 465: One Million, A Kiss (Part 8)

This remark left people with nothing to say...

"It is indeed difficult to raise women and petty men..." Qi Helian thought for a moment, but still couldn’t help but laugh.

A pair of narrow eyes stared at Ji Anning’s proud little face, which seemed to glow brilliantly as if it could shine brightly.

She looked nothing like the girl in the Ji family everyone could bully, who always bowed her head easily.

Qi Helian stared at Ji Anning, lost in thought for a moment. When he came back to his senses, he felt a bit guilty and withdrew his gaze from Ji Anning, looking at Ji Chicheng next to him.

He still maintained his original posture, hands tucked in the pockets of his crisp trousers, even the expression on his face remained unchanged, utterly indifferent.

This guy... Qi Helian didn’t believe that his heart was calm at this moment. He couldn’t believe that he didn’t feel the same way he did, wishing he could applaud for the young girl.

Thinking this, Qi Helian leaned toward Ji Chicheng’s ear and said with a smile, "From what you’ve said, it seems you must have offended her rather badly."

Only then did Ji Chicheng finally show a slight reaction, giving Qi Helian a cold side glance, warning him with his eyes to shut up.

"What a sharp tongue."

The man insulted Ji Anning for her lack of education and low class. His face turned from red to pale, unable to swallow his anger, his words grew even harsher, "No matter how beautiful she is, isn’t she just an actress who plays by the unspoken rules with anyone, be it pigs or dogs?"

The onlookers couldn’t help but sigh.

They all felt that this young Mr. Ye was very disrespectful. The unspoken rules stars play by in the entertainment industry are an open secret. Today, there are many big names from the entertainment industry present. By cursing Ji Anning as an actress who relied on playing by the unspoken rules, he inadvertently exposed the scars that many attendees wanted to cover.

He had effectively offended a whole host of people.

Despite being insulted in such a manner, Ji Anning was not annoyed. She adopted an innocent look and nodded, "Yes, so Mr. Ye is even less than pigs and dogs because I rejected Mr. Ye’s BMW and mansion and couldn’t even bring myself to share a meal with you."

Her implication was clear, she could be approached by anyone with unspoken rules, but she just didn’t want to be approached by him.

Her voice was loud and clear, her eyes looking directly at the other party without wavering.

The many people present wanted to avoid the journalists’ flash, but she faced the cameras without any sense of inferiority or arrogance.

Her demeanor was upright, seated properly, projecting the image of a person without guilt.

It was another backhanded remark that caught the man off guard, his face clenched and turned uglier than a liver.

Just then, a very enchanting laugh erupted from the entrance.

"Ha ha ha..."

Everyone’s eyes turned there, as Qi Helian laughed heartily while walking towards Ji Anning.

Wearing a light blue checked suit with a light pink shirt, it accentuated his charming and slightly devilish good looks.

The focus initially was on Qi Helian, who was laughing loudly and commanded a strong presence, but Ji Anning immediately noticed the tall figure behind him.

Despite being verbally attacked by Mr. Ye, her expression remained unchanged. However, now she couldn’t hide her panic. She expected Qi Helian would come but she didn’t expect Ji Chicheng to appear as well.

In her memory, Ji Chicheng disliked such settings. Ever since they were children, unless absolutely necessary, he would not appear in such a public setting frequented by all walks of life.

The man’s stormy dark eyes locked firmly onto her small face, his intimidating presence leaving her nowhere to hide.
