Unexpected Second Chance at Love [2]

CHAPTER 377: Unforgivable

"What is going on? What happened?"

"Why is Miss Ning standing at the main table?"

"Why is Ji Jingxu so angry?"

Ji Jingxu did not care that he had caused a scene. He doesn’t care about what others have to say, he’s long been used to it since he was adopted into the Ji family.

He only knows that right now, no one can sit in that chair. It is reserved for his sister!

Sitting next to the boy, Zhuang Li looked at his friend with an astonished expression. Ever since he’s known Ji Jingxu, he has never once seen the boy rage like this before.

Ji Chu Hua takes a deep breath and tries to sweet talk her way with the boy.

"Jingxu, listen to sister. It’s just a chair, let Ning Mei sit down and stop causing a scene more than you already have."

She sounded like a loving older sister who was trying to calm her younger brother down. However, deep down, she was cursing at the boy.

’This sticky bumpkin is doing too much. It’s just a chair, why is making it sound like the world is going end!’

Hearing her sweet words, Ji Jingxu’s face scrunch with more disgust than ever. His eyes darken and he growls to her.

"You’re not my older sister. Don’t compare yourself to her!!"

Acting like those words had stabbed her in the heart, Ji Chu Hua’s eyes turned moist and she acted like the saddest person in the world.

Seeing her hurt like this, Gu Ting Fei gently sooth her on the back and looks at Ji Jingxu. He sighs then in a calm voice, he part his lip to speak.

"Ji Jingxu, why are you saying that? If Chu Hua isn’t your older sister, then who is? Today is your grandfather’s birthday, be nice to your older sister."

Feeling Gu Ting Fei’s hand on her back, Ji Chu Hua smiles with tearful eyes to the man. Anyone who sees her like this would want to come over and sooth her like how the man is.

"Thank you, brother Ting Fei, but it is fine. Jingxu is young and has always been like this since young."

Although her voice was sweet and forgiving, she made sure it was loud enough so everyone in the ballroom could hear. She wanted to embarrass the boy in return for the humiliation her and her father received earlier.

And just like how she wanted, everyone had heard her words and started whispering to one another.

"This Ji Jingxu is too much. To have Ji Chu Hua as his older sister is already fortunate enough. How can he be so rude to her?"

"He’s just an adopted child, how can he treat the nice and gentle Ji Chu Hua this way?"

"Such an unfilial child. I don’t know why General Ji adopted him."

Hearing the whispers from everyone in the ballroom, Ji Jingxu was not embarrassed at all.

Instead, what he felt was nothing but more hate towards Ji Chu Hua. He wanted to argue back but he a hand suddenly stops him.

He turn to look at the person and one can see his lower lip tremble ever so lightly.

"Grandfather..."

Grandfather Ji who had been lost in his own thoughts finally came back to his senses. He was so lost in his own thoughts that he did not expect the situation to be this bad when he came to his senses again.

He looks up at the boy and shook his head.

"Jingxu, sit down."

Doing as he is told, Ji Jingxu could only sit back down. However, his eyes did not forget to glare murderously at Ji Chu Hua and Ning Mei. He made sure both people saw the disgust look in his face.
