I'm In Love With the Guy I Grew Up With-Chapter 752: Good Baby, Did Someone Bully You?

Chapter 752: Chapter 752: Good Baby, Did Someone Bully You?
Ning Xixi bit her lower lip.
What genius designer? That was clearly a draft she’d plagiarized and stolen!
Cheng Youran indignantly said, "The two women from the Lu Family really have some nerve!"
Ji Yebai’s eyes darkened. He gently stroked Ning Xixi’s hair and said, "Erxi, eat first."
"Okay..." Ning Xixi concealed the sadness in her eyes and nodded.
Ji Yebai took the knife and fork, elegantly and nobly cut her steak into small pieces, and pushed them towards her. The food was delicious, but to Ning Xixi, it tasted like wax in her mouth.
...
A low pressure enveloped Ning Xixi, while the Lu Family was bubbling with joy.
Lu Jinjin, holding up her skirt, took big gulps of water in Lu Qinghe’s office.
Lu Qinghe, wearing high heels, walked in. Seeing her niece’s unladylike behavior, she scolded, "Jinjin! Haven’t I told you to maintain the elegance of a lady at all times?"
Lu Jinjin hurriedly set down the water glass, "Aunt, I know, I was just really thirsty."
The series of designs named "Shao Hua" was truly stunning. Any single design would become a hit on its own! But the Lu Family released an entire series, astonishing the entire fashion and jewelry industry!
Coupled with Lu Qinghe’s deliberate hype, branding Lu Jinjin as a "genius designer," she was now reaping both fame and fortune. The journalists that had just interviewed her numbered a hundred media outlets!
A rare softness appeared on Lu Qinghe’s usually stern face as she lovingly touched Lu Jinjin’s cheek, "Jinjin, you mustn’t let your aunt’s painstaking efforts go to waste. I’ve arranged for you to study abroad; you should study design well. You already have the fame. When you have real talent, your starting point will be incomparable to that of that little wretch Ning Xixi!"
"Uh-huh, aunt, I will!" Lu Jinjin smiled sweetly, feeling somewhat floaty.
She had become famous, a genius! Meanwhile, Ning Xixi’s family’s company was on the verge of collapse, haha~
...
After dinner, Xiao Xichen saw Cheng Youran—no wait, Cheng Youran saw Xiao Xichen—home, and Ning Xixi received a call from the Song Mansion.
"Dear child, grandpa heard you’re on summer break. Can I send the driver to pick you up to stay with us for a couple of days? Would that be alright?"
Hearing the old man’s eager yet cautious voice, Ning Xixi felt a sourness in her eyes and nose...
"Grandpa... I’m eating out. I’ll come over after I go home and pack some clothes."
Hearing Ning Xixi’s soft, whimpering voice, Grandpa Song immediately became anxious, "What’s wrong? Dear child, is someone bullying you? Don’t bother packing, just come straight to grandpa’s house! We have everything here! No, no, where are you having dinner? Shall grandpa come to find you? Xiaohu, prepare the car!"
Ning Xixi sniffled, "Grandpa, just wait for me at home, I don’t want you to come and pick me up."
There was no need for the elderly man to go through so much trouble for her.
"Alright, alright, whatever you say is fine, grandpa will listen to you."
After hanging up the phone, Ning Xixi tugged at Ji Yebai’s sleeve, her eyes moist, "I want to go to grandpa’s house, is that okay?"
Seeing the tears in her eyes, Ji Yebai’s heart nearly broke. He hugged her tenderly, "I’ll come with you."
...
Song Family. Living room.
As Ji Ning and the other person stepped in, Song Zhiyang, who was peeling an apple, saw Ning Xixi’s reddened eyes and immediately pointed the fruit knife at Ji Yebai’s neck, "What did you do to my sister?!"
