Pampered by My Ex's Cousin-Chapter 972 - 973: Compassion (Part 2)

’Anning, you and Jingfeng must work hard, much harder than them, so that Grandpa will see you.’

’Anning, it’s my fault as a mother, I wasn’t capable enough to protect you.’ 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

The words Yang Yufang once whispered in her ear echoed again.

Uncontrollable.

Ji Anning bit her lip, feeling both hatred and... a hint of compassion.

Looking at Lin Yanqin’s venomous face, Ji Anning knew Yang Yufang was like her too, but now she was at a disadvantage, forced to bow her head and endure.

She knew well enough that they were not benevolent beings, she knew...

’Sister-in-law, are you warming up your voice this early morning?’

Suddenly, a familiar male voice resounded from the first floor, cold and displeased.

Ji Anning peeked out from the shadows, seeing Ji Chicheng’s figure emerge from the dining room, heading towards Lin Yanqin and Yang Yufang.

Her hands leaned against the wall, feeling somewhat tense yet seemingly hopeful.

Who would Uncle support?

Ji Chicheng stopped about three or four steps away from Lin Yanqin and Yang Yufang, with his hands in the pockets of his sharp suit trousers, looking at them indifferently.

Lin Yanqin looked at him and immediately said, ’Chicheng, if you truly care for Anning, then you shouldn’t let this woman enter the Ji Family, she’s nothing but a bringer of bad luck.’

As she spoke, she gritted her teeth in hatred, her angry gaze cast at Yang Yufang, with a savage look as if even killing her wouldn’t satisfy her hate, ’Not only did she cause the death of her husband, but she also nurtured the immoral bond between your own daughter and uncle. If I were you, I’d just go get hit by a car on the main road.’

Those last words were a heavy blow to Yang Yufang.

Indeed, if their encounter was initially as uncle and niece, there wouldn’t be any love developed.

Yang Yufang retreated ungently.

As if enough venomous words had been spoken, Lin Yanqin turned around, her gaze sweeping over Ji Chicheng’s face, ’Don’t forget how your second brother died.’

After coldly reminding him, she stepped straight toward the stairs.

Ji Chicheng didn’t look at Yang Yufang and turned upstairs as well.

Watching Lin Yanqin and Ji Chicheng ascend the stairs one after another, Ji Anning quickly turned around and dashed back to her room.

She sat down on the sofa, and the door opened again. Ji Chicheng walked in and she greeted him with a seemingly casual smile, ’Uncle.’

Ji Chicheng noticed her reddened eyes, but showed no emotion as he softly asked, ’Are you ready?’

Ji Anning nodded, ’Yes... ready.’

Her hands clenched into fists, pressing against the sofa, wanting to rise but hesitating.

’Let’s go.’

Ji Chicheng spoke softly, then immediately turned and didn’t look at Ji Anning, afraid he might hesitate as well.

In this situation, one of them had to be decisive.

His tall figure gradually exited the room again.

Ji Anning bit her lip and slowly stood up.

Today she wore a black long-sleeved T-shirt, with a big lip pattern on her chest, comfortable black training pants accentuating her straight and slender legs.

Wearing a mask, sunglasses, and a baseball cap, carrying a small LV backpack, she kept her head down, following Ji Chicheng closely, every step seeming hesitant and difficult.

Early in the morning, the hospital was bustling with hurried figures everywhere, especially this Maternal and Child Health Hospital, where new lives could be born at any moment, their joyful families wearing happy and excited smiles.

’Yes, yes, a big healthy boy was born.’
