Pampered by My Ex's Cousin-Chapter 108 - 110: Forced Cohabitation (Fifty-Three)

A familiar voice, laden with sarcasm, came from behind her. Ji Anning’s sobbing abruptly stopped, and she paused, hastily wiping away her tears with her sleeve.

With red-rimmed eyes, she emerged from behind the large tree, her face cold, brushing past the person approaching her.

Having just thrown a tantrum at Ji Chicheng, she was now exhausted. She didn’t even want to speak, let alone engage in a verbal battle.

"Ji Anning, stop right there!"

Seeing that Ji Anning was ignoring her, Ji Xiangting quickly stepped in front of her and asked with a frown of dissatisfaction, "Why are you crying here?"

Ji Anning gave her a sidelong glance, her eyebrows raised coldly, "Big sister, do I not even have the freedom to cry now?"

Truth be told, she was feeling guilty. Why was she crying here? This was the teachers’ apartment complex, after all.

Ji Xiangting was the Ji Family’s eldest daughter and a celebrity at the school. Almost no one at T University didn’t know her, and so standing with her attracted a lot of attention.

She wanted to leave this place quickly.

Ji Anning thought about it and lifted her foot, ready to continue walking.

But Ji Xiangting had no intention of letting her off the hook. She reached out and grabbed her arm, "Ji Anning, what kind of attitude is this towards me? At home you act so submissively and sweetly, calling me ’big sister’ all the time, don’t you?"

To the sarcasm between them, Ji Anning had truly become numb, feeling only annoyance with no emotional hurt inside.

She didn’t respond to Ji Xiangting, just trying to shake off her hand and quickly leave this place. But Ji Xiangting held on tightly, as if she wanted to crush her bones.

"Big sister, what exactly do you want to do?" Ji Anning frowned, irritably asking Ji Xiangting.

"Now you finally can’t pretend anymore?" Ji Xiangting suddenly clenched her teeth, glaring at Ji Anning with a vicious look in her eyes, "You really are a scheming bitch."

Upon hearing this, Ji Anning found it amusing. Her teary eyes revealed a hint of mockery, "I’m a scheming bitch, and you, big sister, are so naive and innocent. Is that good enough for you?"

This morning, she didn’t know who had acted so friendly towards her in front of Grandpa, only to turn on her once they were outside.

Now here she was, being called a scheming bitch. It was truly a case of the pot calling the kettle black.

"Haven’t I warned you not to let anyone know we are acquainted?" Ji Xiangting still looked at Ji Anning with teeth clenched, her hatred intensifying.

Ji Anning scoffed, "I am the Ji Family’s nanny, how could I possibly not be acquainted with the Ji Family’s beloved eldest daughter?"

She herself had spread the news that she was the Ji Family’s nanny, and now here she was, warning her not to tell anyone they knew each other, what a contradiction.

Ji Xiangting raised her eyebrows, her voice filled with certainty, "So, are you resentful and telling everyone that you are actually the future mistress of the Ji Family, the fiancée of Ji Jingfeng?"

At these words, Ji Anning’s expression stiffened. Her eyes fixed on Ji Xiangting, she squinted skeptically, "What do you mean?"

It was now that she began to wonder why Ji Xiangting had sought her out here.

What was this about her telling everyone she was Ji Jingfeng’s fiancée? When had she ever said that?

"Ji Anning, you’re now a famous person, the ’belle of the Academy of Fine Arts,’ the future mistress of the Ji Family." 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

Ji Xiangting was convinced that Ji Anning was pretending not to know, her mocking tone laced with unmistakable envy, "I truly underestimated you. I had no idea your schemes ran so deep. Are you so eager to marry into our family, so desperate for a higher status?"

Her every word tried to paint Ji Anning as a manipulative bitch.
