Pampered by My Ex's Cousin

Chapter 617 - 609: Return to the Ji Family for a Tearing Fight (Part 3)

"Young... Young Master."

As they entered, they encountered Sister Wu who, upon seeing Ji Chicheng, was so excited that she couldn’t speak. It took her a good while to recover, and then she joyfully shouted into the house, "The Young Master is back."

Including his last visit, Ji Chicheng had been away for another six months.

This house, it only seemed to come alive whenever he returned.

Following closely, Sister Wu’s eyes then fell upon Ji Anning. She was taken aback upon seeing her, her reaction even more intense than when she saw Ji Chicheng, "Miss Anning!"

She stared at Ji Anning with wide-eyed surprise.

Ji Anning gave her a slight nod, then anxiously asked, "Sister Wu, has my grandfather come back?"

During her time at the Ji Family, Sister Wu had been very kind to her, so she spoke to Sister Wu with great respect.

"The old master went out last night and hasn’t come back yet," Sister Wu said, looking at Ji Anning’s worried expression and asking with concern, "Miss Anning, do you have urgent business with the old master?"

Before Ji Anning could reply, a familiar woman’s voice came from upstairs.

"Oh, look who’s back—our family’s Young Master."

"Heh, the niece-in-law who vanished for two years has also returned."

The tone of voice was sarcastic and derisive.

Ji Anning’s gaze drifted over as Lin Yanqin, dressed in a set of beige house clothes, came downstairs, eyeing them as she walked.

The inevitable confrontation could not be avoided.

Ji Anning glanced at Lin Yanqin but did not engage with her, continuing her conversation with Sister Wu, "Did grandfather mention when he might return?"

Sister Wu shook her head, "I don’t know."

"I see," Ji Anning acknowledged Sister Wu with a nod.

Then she looked at Ji Chicheng. His handsome face was still ashen. She knew that he always did as he pleased, hating others interfering in his affairs, not even his own father, the elder.

Grandfather had now taken Fenfen away, coming before their return home; he surely felt angrier and more furious than her.

"You two have come back together. Is the old master planning to divide the inheritance?"

Lin Yanqin had come downstairs, speaking in her usual sarcastic tone as she moved towards Ji Anning and the others.

Her tone was still laced with mockery.

Ji Anning ignored her, and Ji Chicheng didn’t even glance her way.

"Wait a second, didn’t you revert to your original surname? Why are you back at the Ji Family house?" Lin Yanqin approached, eyeing Ji Anning with disdain.

She seemed to be brewing some venomous words.

All of a sudden, Ji Chicheng stretched out his hand and grasped Lin Yanqin’s chin, warning her sharply, "Shut your mouth."

Lin Yanqin’s face instantly flushed as if blood was rushing to it. She frowned and pushed Ji Chicheng away forcefully. Being warned by Ji Chicheng and physically confronted in front of the servants and Ji Anning was unacceptable.

Gasping for breath, she pointed at Ji Chicheng and screamed, "Ji Chicheng, you bastard of unknown origin, how dare you lay hands on me? Do you know who you’re speaking to?"

Those words... Ji Anning glared with fury, raised her hand towards Lin Yanqin’s face, and slapped her hard, "Say that again, I dare you."

The slap even startled Ji Chicheng a bit.

He looked at Ji Anning, at her drawn and ready posture, and after a moment of bewilderment, he laughed.

"Ji Anning, you little wretch, how dare you hit me." Lin Yanqin held her face in shock for a second, then went insane, totally losing control of her emotions. She reached out and grabbed Ji Anning by the collar, slamming her against the wall.
