Her tone was calm, yet it was chilling.
Just as Ji Anning’s steps reached the doorway, hearing Ji Jingfeng’s words, her steps paused and the hand by her thigh tightened into a fist.
Next, she heard her mother’s voice.
"Old Li, did you hear that? Jingfeng is such a good child. With him taking care of Anning, you should be at peace under the earth."
The mother said this to her husband’s portrait, sounding relieved.
A sinister glint passed through Ji Jingfeng’s eyes as he turned around and affectionately took Ji Anning’s mother’s hand, "Mother-in-law, once we’ve taken care of father-in-law’s funeral, why don’t you co with to Hai City? There are more people at ho, and then you’ll have soone to look after. Plus, you can help and Anning keep an eye on the kids, a nanny isn’t as considerate as their own grandmother."
Upon hearing this, the mother looked relieved again, shook her head, and replied in a heartfelt manner, "I’d rather not go. I’ve spent my whole life here, and I’m used to it. Changing environnts, living with you young people, I’m not accustod to that."
As she spoke, she reached out her other hand and gently patted the back of Ji Jingfeng’s hand.
From her tone and behavior, it was evident that she liked her son-in-law more and more, and was very satisfied with him.
Ji Anning frowned as she watched the two of them, feeling very puzzled.
As far as she rembered, they had never t before. Why didn’t her mother feel surprised at all upon seeing Ji Jingfeng, as if they were very familiar with each other?
Could it be that they had been in contact these past two years?
"It’s okay, you can travel back and forth, and you will get used to it after a few trips."
Ji Jingfeng continued to act filially towards her mother.
Ji Anning couldn’t stand it anymore. How could she tolerate Ji Jingfeng acting like this in front of her mother at her father’s wake?
She turned around, strode up to Ji Jingfeng, and bluntly told him to leave, "Ji Jingfeng, there’s no need for you to pretend here. Once you’ve offered the incense, you can leave."
"Really, Anning, did I do sothing wrong?" Ji Jingfeng looked at Ji Anning with an innocent face.
Ji Anning couldn’t stand to watch his act anymore. She turned back to Ji Zhengdao, "Chairman Ji, thank you for taking ti out of your busy schedule to offer incense to my father. However, we are very busy now and don’t have the ti to look after you and Young Master Ji. Please feel free to leave."
Her tone was decisive and powerful, very assertive.
As she spoke, she extended her right hand towards the doorway, politely bowing slightly.
Having commanded respect in the business world for so many years, it was Ji Zhengdao’s first ti being dismissed in such a manner. His face darkened as he looked displeasedly at Ji Anning, "Anning, are you really asking your grandfather to leave?"
His voice was also angrily deep.
Ji Anning still maintained her politeness, "My father has just passed away, please excuse , sir."
Ji Zhengdao’s expression was terrifyingly cold, probably due to the situation, but he managed to suppress his anger.
"Anning, it’s good to be filial, but don’t forget who you are."
He coldly reminded Ji Anning, then turned and left, with his hands clasped behind his back, his steps hurried.
Upon reaching the doorway, he suddenly stopped, his back to Ji Anning and others, and commanded Ji Jingfeng in an undeniable tone, "Jingfeng, go find your uncle and call him to co back with us."
Ji Jingfeng’s lifted foot hesitated, clearly reluctant, but he nodded in agreent, "I understand, I’ll go call him now."
Ji Zhengdao snorted, then quickly strode away.
Only when his figure had walked far away did Ji Jingfeng bring his gaze back, smiling slightly at Ji Anning, "Anning, why don’t you help call the uncle? "
