Pampered by My Ex's Cousin-Chapter 109 - 111: Forced to Cohabit (Fifty-Four)

Ji Anning nodded. "Yes, I can hardly wait to marry into the Ji Family and have the rightful status in your Ji Family. Later, when I become the mistress of the Ji Family, I will return all the bullying you’ve done to me." 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

Anyway, in her heart, that was the kind of person she was. She wanted to cling to their Ji Family and become a phoenix upon marrying into their family.

She felt no need to explain herself.

Seeing Ji Anning’s admission, Ji Xiangting hooked up the corner of her lips in a mocking sneer, "Ji Anning, you’ve finally shown your true colors."

"Yes." Ji Anning nodded, her posture neither servile nor overbearing. "What can you do to me?"

Go tattle to Grandpa if you like. Tell him I’m a bad woman with deep schemes. It would be great if he canceled my engagement to Ji Jingfeng and drove me out of the house.

As long as she wasn’t expelled from the Ji Family for some fundamental wrongdoing, the contract she signed selling herself would still be valid, and she wouldn’t need to worry about her parents who were still in the sanatorium.

Then she would actually have to thank Ji Xiangting for doing her a huge favor.

Ji Xiangting coldly laughed, "You’re dreaming too beautifully. Don’t forget the fate that befell Jingfeng’s mother."

With that, her expression turned vicious, "She was never able to make a respectable appearance, toiled away in the Ji Family for more than a decade, and in the end, she was still banished to an uninhabited island to die alone. You’re all the same, born low and worthless, and even if you marry into a rich family, you can’t change your despicable destiny."

Ji Anning’s expression darkened, and a dangerous glint appeared in her eyes. "Ji Xiangting, try keeping some decency for yourself."

She could withstand any slander thrown her way, but when it came to her mother, who had treated her like her own daughter since she was young, she wouldn’t tolerate it.

Finally triggering an emotional response from Ji Anning, Ji Xiangting felt a burst of satisfaction and continued to provoke Anning using Yang Yufang, "You and your mother-in-law do really sympathize with each other, don’t you? Birds of a feather flock together indeed."

However, except in front of Ji Chicheng, Ji Anning could control her emotions well in front of anyone else.

Knowing Ji Xiangting’s motives, she reined in her previous chill and danger, smiling calmly, "Ji Xiangting, your hatred for me stems from the fact that I’ve outshone you from childhood."

Having hit a nerve, Ji Xiangting’s face changed color, but then she composed herself, raised her chin defiantly, and looked down on Ji Anning, "Ha, what makes you think you can outshine me?"

"Other than being born a young lady, what else do you have that stands out?"

Ji Anning arched an eyebrow at Ji Xiangting, her calm smile unchanged. Then she continued without haste, "We’ve been in the same grade from the first grade of elementary school. If I wasn’t school beauty, I was class beauty, and my grades were always in the top three of the year. If you hadn’t been so unbearable under my academic pressure, why would you have tampered with my drink the day before my first college entrance exam, causing me to be hospitalized and unable to attend, hence repeating a year? After that, we were finally not in the same grade anymore, and I couldn’t suppress you anymore. You turned into my senior, finally finding a little bit of comfort."

Ji Xiangting’s eyes widened in astonishment, "You..."

Ji Anning knew what she was surprised about and smiled again, raising her eyebrows, "Are you astonished that I would know about this?"

Her tone was one of certainty.

Ji Xiangting still had her mouth slightly open, as if someone had choked her and she was unable to speak when, in reality, she couldn’t find the words to rebut.

"Ji Xiangting." Ji Anning suddenly dropped the facade of a faint smile, and said coldly: "You, your mother, and your sister, I’m aware of all the things you’ve done to me. Just wait until I’m married to Ji Jingfeng—there will come a day when you get what you deserve."
