Chapter 142: Chapter 142 Please Help Me_1

Qi Cheng didn’t make a sound.

Second Brother spoke up, "I heard you didn’t even have dinner when I came up. Your health is important. Don’t be angry. Go eat something."

"Thank you for your concern, Second Brother. I’m fine." It was all because of Ji Yunhuan.

He was angry that she didn’t trust him.

It was a small matter now; what would happen in the future with bigger issues?

Second Brother persuaded Qi Cheng for a while, then came down and ran into Ji Yunhuan, who was coming from the direction of Chencheng.

He stopped her.

"Second Brother," Ji Yunhuan said.

She guessed he was here at Second Sister-in-law’s request.

Second Brother’s cold eyes softened a bit. "Your Second Sister-in-law asked me to check on you and Qi Cheng. Qi Cheng is just like that. You should persuade him too. Although Qi Cheng was wrong about what happened with Big Brother, don’t be too serious with him."

Second Brother’s words were tactful, but he hoped she would be nicer to Qi Cheng.

In fact, after being persuaded by Chencheng all afternoon, Ji Yunhuan was not so angry anymore.

Speaking of it, because of Big Brother’s matters, the two of them quarreled and got angry here; it really wasn’t necessary.

After Big Brother left, Ji Yunhuan returned home and found Qi Cheng sitting at the table, ready to have dinner.

The female housekeeper saw her, "Madam."

Ji Yunhuan glanced at the table. The female housekeeper knew she just had dinner with Chencheng, so she didn’t prepare any utensils for her, "Prepare me utensils."

The female housekeeper quickly understood her purpose was to accompany Qi Cheng.

Every time the female housekeeper saw them argue, it made her most anxious.

It was rare for Ji Yunhuan to be so thoughtful, so the female housekeeper cooperated and prepared everything for her.

The dining room was quiet for a while before Ji Yunhuan gathered the courage to say to Qi Cheng, "Second Sister-in-law told me to persuade you. Second Brother also said..."

"If you’re here to apologize, you don’t need to," he interrupted her.

Ji Yunhuan was stunned.

Qi Cheng added, "That only proves you’re apologizing because of Second Brother and Second Sister-in-law’s words, without a hint of sincerity."

"I..." Ji Yunhuan was utterly exasperated. "Qi Cheng, are you a child? What do you want from me? It’s not even my fault in the first place. You were wrong from the start, and now I’m apologizing, and you’re still throwing a tantrum at me?"

"I just don’t want my own wife to be brainless. From what you said, if they hadn’t persuaded you, would you have ignored me?" He always thought everything she did was because of others, not him.

It seemed his place in her heart wasn’t even as important as the unimportant Second Brother and Second Sister-in-law.

"Fine! From now on, I won’t apologize to you," Ji Yunhuan angrily stood up and went upstairs.

Qi Cheng watched her leave.

Suddenly, he felt a bit of regret.

For several days after that, they didn’t speak to each other.

Staying at home was boring. Chencheng spent most of his time with Su Zi, and Ji Yunhuan didn’t feel like staying home during the day either.

She contacted people to renovate her old home a bit.

Sometimes she visited Second Sister-in-law’s studio.

One afternoon when she came home and parked her car in front of a cake shop, it was Chencheng’s birthday today. She wanted to buy him a small cake.

Just as she came out holding the cake, someone stopped her. "Yunhuan."

Ji Yunhuan was stunned. Seeing it was Gu Yubai, she hadn’t been in contact with Gu Yubai for a long time. Did he want to bother her again?

"I’m very busy. There’s nothing to say." If Qi Cheng knew, he would probably get angry again.

Even when quarreling, she remembered his words—not to meet with Gu Yubai.

As soon as she finished speaking, she noticed Gu Yubai looked different from usual, "I came to ask for your help."

"Are you alright?" He looked far from his usual vibrant self, appearing very haggard.

Seeing him like this, Ji Yunhuan felt a wave of pity.

Although she didn’t care for him, it didn’t mean she couldn’t pity him.

Gu Yubai said, "Help me this time, please?"

"I can’t help you. I’m now Qi Cheng’s wife, you should know. Angering him will have consequences." With Qi Cheng’s personality, Gu Yubai would definitely be the one to suffer.

"I want you to help me meet him. I want to see Qi Cheng once." Surprisingly, Gu Yubai wasn’t there for Ji Yunhuan. He intended to use her to see Qi Cheng.

"He’s your cousin-in-law. If you want to see him, find him yourself. Why come to me?" Ji Yunhuan felt puzzled.

Gu Yubai said, "Since you and he got together, it’s been difficult for me to meet him."

It was as if Qi Cheng no longer acknowledged their past relationship.

"What do you want to see him for? To start a fight?" Ji Yunhuan asked, confused.

Qi Cheng didn’t want to see him, so why force it?

Besides, in Qi Cheng’s eyes, the Gu Family was now the most hated.

Because the Gu Family not only tried to kill her but almost killed Qi Cheng too.

Gu Yubai’s eyes flashed with stiffness. "I have no options. Only he can save the Gu Family now."

"Your Gu Family is at its peak. Why would you need his help?" Ji Yunhuan scorned, "Your dad wanted to kill me. He was so arrogant, now he needs help?"

However, seeing Gu Yubai like this, the Gu Family must be in trouble.

Knowing her resentment, Gu Yubai felt helpless.

He gazed at Ji Yunhuan with deep emotion, slowly accepting she was married to Qi Cheng. Even so, he didn’t want her to hate him. "I know you care about the past, but Yunhuan, it wasn’t my dad’s doing."

"It wasn’t? Do you think I’m stupid?"

"Yunhuan, please help me. For old times’ sake. If this continues, the Gu Family is truly finished. Do you forget how Uncle Ji and Aunt Ji died?" Gu Yubai’s desperation led him to ask Qi Cheng for help.

He knew it was because of Ji Yunhuan that Qi Cheng was furious.

Qi Cheng wanted to destroy the Gu Family. They’ve tried many ways to no avail.

His only option was to beg Qi Cheng, hoping he would spare the Gu Family.

Ji Yunhuan was stunned by Gu Yubai’s words.

Gu Yubai looked pathetic, reminiscent of her situation years ago.

Recently, she hadn’t heard any news, which surprised her, "Is the Gu Family really that bad off?"

Gu Yubai said, "If it wasn’t, would I be here asking for your help?"

"What can I do? You know I won’t forgive those who tried to hurt me."

"So, do you want to see my family end up like the Ji Family?"

"Whatever happens, it’s not my business," Ji Yunhuan responded coldly.

She knew if she brought this up to Qi Cheng, it would be suicidal.

To her astonishment, the next moment, Gu Yubai knelt before her. His knees hit the ground with a thud, but he didn’t seem to feel the pain.

Gu Yubai’s face was ashen, "Yunhuan, please help me. I really don’t know what to do."
