Pampered by My Ex's Cousin-Chapter 1153 - 1155: If You Do Wrong, You Should Pay the Price (Part 4)
So why pretend to be righteous when you have a hidden agenda?
She loves Charles, they are engaged, and the loss of Chicheng’s mother, who benefits the most?
But neither she nor anyone else could have imagined that Charles would be so devoted, choosing never to marry in his lifetime.
Ji Anning scoffed internally, then cast a disdainful glance at Rudy Finn.
Love is inherently selfish, but can’t she stop using the guise of friendship? Her great mother-in-law, who bore such an outstanding nephew, is already dead, and she’s still exploiting her.
"She’s... no longer with us?"
A murmuring voice suddenly echoed from above.
Ji Anning was startled; does Chicheng not know that his mother is gone after his amnesia?
She looked up at him.
His expression was blank, yet it was hard to tell how sad he truly was.
Ji Anning tightened her hold on his arm, her head resting gently against it, and with a comforting tone, she called him, "Uncle."
It was then that Ji Chicheng slowly lowered his gaze, muttering to himself, "So she’s truly gone, no wonder."
No wonder whenever she was mentioned, the old man’s eyes always avoided mine; turns out she hadn’t remarried.
Ji Anning didn’t know what Ji Chicheng was thinking, nor did she ask, merely looked at him with eyes sparkling.
Ji Chicheng raised his hand and lightly patted the back of her hand, "Maybe it’s better; perhaps it won’t be so painful."
Though he seemed to be comforting Ji Anning, he was actually consoling himself.
Perhaps it won’t be so painful...
Upon hearing Ji Chicheng’s words, Ji Anning felt a sudden ache in her heart.
Grandpa had said that his mother passed away due to illness, forced to leave him and send him to the Ji Family.
Her constitution wasn’t suitable for childbirth, so how long had she been ill, how much suffering had she endured?
For her own son to believe that her death was a form of liberation.
Charles was overwhelmed by the sudden truth, all his dignity, charisma, pride... vanished in an instant.
Steeped in self-blame and remorse, in pain beyond words.
Rudy Finn watched him and continued, "Yue Sen. Charles, it was me who fought to save your son’s life."
As she spoke, she edged closer to Charles.
Charles stepped back, eyes reddened, filled with increasing clarity.
Tears!!!
Heavens, she actually saw tears in the eyes of the cold-hearted Charles, Ji Anning looked at Charles in shock.
Yet, Rudy Finn continued to press him, "Back then I was also royalty, insulted after you broke off the engagement, I never sought revenge against you. Now my daughter made a minor mistake, and you can’t forgive her?"
At that moment, Charles seemed like even a child could bully him.
Thus Rudy Finn’s aura appeared increasingly powerful.
This old woman keeps claiming she loves...
"My uncle’s life was fought for at the risk of his mother’s life; please don’t take credit lightly."
Unable to tolerate any more, Ji Anning released Ji Chicheng’s hand, stepped forward, and faced Rudy Finn, a trace of fierceness in her eyes, "Do you even know how malicious your daughter is? Do you realize what she has done to me, to all of us?"
Now she only cares about her own daughter, yet compared to her own unborn child nearly being lost, while her uncle was lying in intensive care nearly unable to come out, the punishment her daughter has received today is still far from enough.
