Pampered by My Ex's Cousin-Chapter 839 - 831: Trading Men (Part 6)

Ji Anning tilted her chin upward and replied with a smile, "That’s for sure, when the water rises, the boat goes up, and naturally, so does one’s voice."

She loathed men getting involved in women’s wars.

Of course, she had to exclude her protective uncle from this, who always sheltered his children no matter who was around.

Lin Shaotong’s gaze continued to audaciously scan Ji Anning, and the admiration and resentment in his eyes betrayed the sarcastic smile that seemed to belittle her.

Ji Anning had started to change a lot when she was in junior high and became prettier and prettier, securing the title of "school beauty" in both junior and senior high. Back then, few knew about her status as the Ji Family’s adopted daughter-in-law.

Thus, it was natural that many people pursued her.

He had been one of them, but because she was the Ji Family’s granddaughter-in-law, he had had to forcefully sever his feelings for her; unexpectedly, she still hadn’t ended up with Ji Jingfeng.

Moreover, she had secretly been with Ji Chicheng, and because of this, he had been severely scolded by Lin Yanqin and all the members of the Lin Family, which ultimately led to him being sent abroad.

"In the end, didn’t she still leave with Ji Jingfeng, that coward, and steal a man from his family?"

Ugly words spilled from Lin Shaotong’s mouth.

Before Ji Anning could react, the young woman by Lin Shaotong’s side, clad in a Chanel windbreaker, glanced at Fenfen in Ji Anning’s arms and asked, "Is this child yours and your uncle’s?"

After she asked, she waved her hand in front of Fenfen, "Didn’t they say one of the eyes was blind? I can’t tell."

Ji Anning’s face darkened, and she said coldly to the woman, "Lin Kexin, watch your words."

This was the daughter of Ji Xiangting’s uncle and Lin Shaotong’s sister. Like Ji RuoqianRuoqian, she was tricky, arrogant, and looked down on others.

It was a common flaw in their Lin bloodline.

The sudden change in Ji Anning’s demeanor surprised the Lin siblings.

Lin Kexin withdrew her hand and snapped back, "Why so fierce? Isn’t the kid’s eye blind? Did I say something wrong?"

Just then, a familiar voice called out to Ji Anning.

"Anning."

Jin Yuanyuan had arrived.

Both Ji Anning and Fenfen turned their gaze towards the direction of the voice.

Jin Yuanyuan, holding Zhen Cheng’s hand, walked towards them puzzled, wondering about the group of people standing in front of Ji Anning.

"Brother Zhen Cheng."

Fenfen was thrilled to see Zhen Cheng, struggling to get down from Ji Anning’s grasp.

Ji Anning had no choice but to bend down and let her hold hands with Zhen Cheng.

"Jin Yuanyuan?"

Ji Xiangting stared at Jin Yuanyuan, taking a long while to recognize her.

Because she had indeed changed a lot, having become much thinner, and her previously fair skin was now somewhat tanned.

As soon as Ji Xiangting recognized it was Jin Yuanyuan, her gaze grew unfriendly.

Jin Yuanyuan nodded slightly and greeted her indifferently, "Ji Xiangting."

Ji Xiangting had never had a good impression of Jin Yuanyuan.

Unsure why Ji Anning was with them, she thought they might be busy, so she looked at Ji Anning and said, "Anning, do you have something to deal with? If you do, I can bring Zhen Cheng to see you later."

Ji Anning shook her head, "No, let’s go eat."

Saying that, she reached out to take Jin Yuanyuan’s arm and was about to leave.

Suddenly, Ji Xiangting cursed, "Ji Anning, you backstabber, always opposing me just to feel good, huh?"

Ji Anning stopped, turned around, and gave Ji Xiangting a cold smile, "Ji Xiangting, at least I’m not a backstabber. Why do you have to oppose me then?"
