Pampered by My Ex's Cousin

Chapter 488 - 480: Fenfen, My Daughter (3)

She pursed her lips tightly and thought for a moment before saying to Charles, "Mr. Charles, you should go to sleep early, I’m going upstairs to bed."

Charles nodded with a smile, "Good night."

"Good night."

Ji Anning stood up, her gaze sweeping past Charles’s eyes.

Now she finally understood that when he had appeared before her like a savior many years ago, it was all premeditated.

But at present, she couldn’t come to a conclusion about whether this premeditation was good or bad.

...

After two days and one night of observation, Ji Zhengdao finally passed the critical period and was transferred from the intensive care unit to a regular ward.

He leaned against the head of the bed, looking out the window with a melancholic expression, indescribably weathered.

Assistant Wu took a phone call, came in from outside, walked to the bedside, and reported to him, "Chairman, Young Master has arranged a flight for you early tomorrow morning."

"Have you found out about Anning’s situation in Country Y these past two years?" Ji Zhengdao slowly withdrew his gaze from the window and looked at Assistant Wu, asking, "What exactly is her relationship with... with Charles?"

Assistant Wu stared at the old man’s eyes, which were blazing with a furious fire, hesitated for a moment and then carefully began to reply, "Mr. Charles seems to have been on guard, and we can’t find any information at all. The only thing we can confirm is that Miss Anning has indeed been living in Mr. Charles’s house for the past two years, and... and she gave birth to a daughter."

Having said that, he dared not look at his elder any longer, and quickly bowed his head, taking a step backward.

"Charles!" Ji Zhengdao gritted his teeth and clenched the bedding tightly in his hands.

"I really didn’t expect old Mr. Ji to have the capacity to budget for this, knowing I would come."

Suddenly, a man’s voice came from the doorway, followed by the appearance of a tall figure.

Ji Zhengdao was taken aback for a moment, his gaze moved to the man’s face bearing a smug smile, and his complexion changed abruptly, "Charles, you beast!"

Having been insulted, Charles didn’t get angry but laughed instead, "I just consulted your attending doctor a moment ago, and you should not get angry at present."

As he spoke, he took a step forward, walking toward Ji Zhengdao, "I was really out of line the other day, had gone to N City for a meeting, and as soon as I got back I heard you were hospitalized. You’re getting older, sometimes you need to take it easy."

Arriving at the bedside, Charles stopped, slightly bowed his head, and looked at the old man with condescension.

In his deep blue eyes, triumph surged continuously.

Accustomed to controlling the big picture and looking down on everything, how could the old man bear to be looked down upon? He sat up straight and stiffened his back, glaring at Charles and said coldly, "Charles, you will pay for your actions."

Ignoring his words, Charles continued, "Niannian told me you are her grandfather. I am quite surprised; such coincidences do exist in this world."

On hearing this, Ji Zhengdao felt a great sense of irony.

He reached for a pillow beside him and threw it hard at Charles, "Get out, get far away from me."

Charles didn’t dodge, letting the soft pillow hit his chest. Looking at the face flushed with rage, his smile of satisfaction deepened as he said, "So many years have gone, and your temper is still so fiery, but I advise you, being old means being old, and there’s no denying it."

"Anning is still so young, you beast, you will definitely get your comeuppance," Ji Zhengdao’s fingers trembled as he pointed at Charles, his lips also quivering intensely.

He was filled with a murderous aura, wishing he could kill Charles on the spot, as death alone would hardly quell the hatred in his heart.
