Pampered by My Ex's Cousin

Chapter 609 - 601 Mysterious Love Triangle (Part 1)

The accompanying image was of Anning Ji and Helian Qi on the cover of Fashion’s tenth anniversary issue, both behaving intimately.

The news headline read, "Pop Prince Helian Qi and Rising Goddess Li Nianjia in a Suspected Confirmed Relationship, Their Daughter Can Already Fetch Soy Sauce."

Below the photo of the two, another of a little girl was Photoshopped in.

Upon seeing this, the old master’s face darkened.

Ji Ruoqian, observing the old master’s reaction, reveled in the disaster and feigned excitement, "Anning Ji had a child, and it’s already two years old with Helian Qi’s child, I never would have thought."

The intent to stir up trouble was clear, and the shrewd old master certainly knew her little tricks.

Just then, he was already furious and needed to vent, he scolded Ji Ruoqian, "Did you do well in your final exams? How many subjects did you fail, and you still have the face to see people?"

Suddenly blowing up, Ji Ruoqian almost dropped her phone in fright.

Regaining composure, she frowned and complained to the old master, "You shouldn’t always lose your temper at me, just look, look at that daughter-in-law who’s been raised by our Ji family since she was little, helping the Qi family. You just wouldn’t believe me when I said that Anning Ji was putting a green hat on my brother Jingfeng – now isn’t that a huge embarrassment?"

It was okay not to mention this, but once mentioned, it made her even more furious. Her heart swelled with dissatisfaction towards the old master, like a flood breaking loose, unstoppable, "Not only did they kick you to the curb, they even changed their names and surnames."

After venting at the old master, Ji Ruoqian looked back at her phone screen, staring at the photo of Anning Ji and Helian Qi, and cursed, "Anning Ji, that ungrateful wretch, has no shame. Is our Ji family worse than the Qi family?"

As she spoke, her fingers swiped across the screen, "I think she’s just after Helian Qi’s good looks. This woman is truly disgusting. Most importantly, the news even dragged my uncle in, claiming that my uncle, because he likes Helian Qi, is fighting over Helian Qi and Anning Ji’s child. What kind of nonsense is this?"

Ji Ruoqian then enlarged a section of the news content to show the old master.

The old master, furious, his face an iron shade of blue, grabbed a pillow beside him and threw it hard at Ji Ruoqian’s back, shouting, "Ji Ruoqian, get as far away from me as you can."

"Ah..." Ji Ruoqian screamed, jumping up and turning to complain, "You are so biased, favoring boys over girls. What’s wrong with my sister and I? We’ve troubled you so little, yet look at your son and grandson."

In this household, besides Ji Mingyue, only she, Ji Ruoqian, dared to talk back like this.

After speaking, she huffed and angrily ascended the stairs.

The old master, his face still an iron blue, placed his hands on his thighs, took several deep breaths to slightly calm his emotions.

Then he reached for his phone and dialed a number.

"Check if Anning is still in the country."

...

"Pfft... Pfft..."

On a workday afternoon, during a break period, there weren’t many people in the hotel’s café, which played soft music and was very quiet.

Anning Ji stared at the headline news about her and Helian Qi that had just been released at noon, and she had been looking at it for nearly half an hour.

For that half hour, she was laughing.

"The first noble family of Hai City’s young master, Chicheng Ji, is rumored to be hopelessly in love with Helian Qi, fighting over the child and the man with his niece’s wife. Insiders revealed that Chicheng Ji gave up the Ji family inheritance for Helian Qi, just to be with the one he loves. It is understood that Chicheng Ji and Helian Qi have grown up together since childhood."
