Chapter 143: Chapter 143 Very Self-Aware_1

"Please, help me..." Ji Yunhuan didn’t know how many times she had uttered this phrase in her memory.

At that time, she naively thought she could find a way to save her father.

But no matter how much she humbled herself, every time, all she received was a cold refusal.

If Gu Yubai hadn’t been truly desperate, he wouldn’t be kneeling in front of her now.

Bystanders were all watching this spectacle.

Although Gu Yubai looked somewhat disheveled, some people still recognized him.

"Don’t do this," Ji Yunhuan said.

"Yunhuan, help me, just this once... Otherwise, I’ll die," he pleaded desperately.

"You won’t die. You’re overthinking it. I used to think the same way, that I would die. But look at me now; I’m still living quite well."

People’s capacity to endure far exceeds what they imagine. What you think you can’t bear, you will gradually get through.

At this moment, a car stopped nearby, and Ouyang Fei got out. She wore a hat and sunglasses. Seeing Gu Yubai kneeling before Ji Yunhuan, her heart ached, "Yubai, don’t do this."

After speaking, she looked at Ji Yunhuan. Seeing Ji Yunhuan’s indifferent expression, she intuitively blamed her, "Sister Yunhuan, how can you let him kneel?"

"What do you know?" Ji Yunhuan coldly glanced at Ouyang Fei. "If he didn’t want to kneel, would he kneel just because I told him to?"

Faced with this baseless accusation, Ji Yunhuan couldn’t help but get angry.

Ouyang Fei looked at Gu Yubai and said, "Brother Yubai, we don’t need her. I have other ways."

"There are no more ways. What ways haven’t I thought of?" Gu Yubai pushed her hand away as she tried to pull him up. He only said to Ji Yunhuan, "If you don’t agree to help me today, I will kneel here in front of you."

"Gu Yubai, you look ridiculous now."

Her face remained indifferent, yet Ji Yunhuan felt a bit helpless internally.

At a time like this, Ji Yunhuan actually wished to see Gu Yubai as proud and arrogant as he used to be. She hoped to see pride and dignity on his face, not the way he looks now, like a lost dog.

Because this scene always reminded her of her past self.

Ji Yunhuan had also once become a joke in everyone’s eyes because of circumstances like this.

Seeing that he still wouldn’t get up, Ji Yunhuan turned away but was grabbed by Gu Yubai. He wouldn’t let her leave, "Yunhuan, you are my only hope now. Help me. Do you remember when Uncle Ji and Aunt Ji had their accident..."

When everyone ignored her, it was he who stayed by her side.

Without his companionship, she might not have persisted until today.

Seeing that Gu Yubai was determined to make Ji Yunhuan help him, Ouyang Fei could not stop him anymore and helped by saying, "Sister Yunhuan, help him. Uncle Gu is in prison now, Aunt Gu is sick in bed, and if no one helps the Gu Family Residence, it will end up like the Ji Family..."

Ji Yunhuan didn’t care what Ouyang Fei said. She only wanted to pull her hand back, but after several attempts, she failed. Gu Yubai held her hand tightly, like clutching at the last straw, refusing to let go even in death.

The crowd kept growing.

If this continued, reporters would arrive soon. Ji Yunhuan would become tomorrow’s news.

"Gu Yubai, get up! I’ll try to talk to Qi Cheng," Ji Yunhuan promised, just to stop him from pestering her.

As for whether she would help him, she still needed to think about it.

Maybe, in consideration of his past companionship, she should help him once?

But doing so would anger Qi Cheng. Better not.

She didn’t want to trouble herself for someone who had once betrayed her.

Back home, Ji Yunhuan went to see Chaunchaun. Looking at the cake she’d bought, Chaunchaun smiled, "Sis, thanks."

"Why chocolate?" Su Zi, standing nearby, complained.

Ji Yunhuan looked at her and couldn’t help teasing, "I didn’t buy it for you."

"You..." Su Zi retorted disdainfully, "I won’t eat it. Who cares? You only get favored by Qi Cheng. But haven’t you been arguing and never reconciled lately?"

"Su Zi," Chaunchaun interrupted her.

Su Zi closed her mouth and stopped mocking Ji Yunhuan.

Ji Yunhuan felt a pang of sadness.

She and Qi Cheng indeed hadn’t spoken for days.

Before, she wouldn’t have minded.

But after confessing her feelings, it hurt watching him ignore her now.

She didn’t understand what it meant to like someone before. Now she knew. Liking someone meant giving him control over all your emotions.

After leaving Chaunchaun, Ji Yunhuan saw Ye Suya appearing on the left side of the garden.

It was Ji Yunhuan’s first time seeing Ye Suya at the Qi Residence despite her long stay.

Not knowing where Qi Cheng hid her, Ji Yunhuan hadn’t cared due to their constant quarrels.

Thinking that their arguments were all because of this woman, Ji Yunhuan walked over.

Seeing Ji Yunhuan, Ye Suya raised her head. She had stayed indoors these days and finally couldn’t resist coming out.

Seeing Ji Yunhuan, she turned to leave, but Ji Yunhuan called out, "Stop there."

"Mrs. Qi, do you need something?" Ye Suya asked politely.

Unfortunately, no matter how polite she was, the impression she left from the Fushan Hotel hadn’t changed.

Many people suffered because of Ye Suya, yet she hid here so peacefully. Thinking of this, Ji Yunhuan had the urge to drive her out.

Ji Yunhuan approached and sneered at Ye Suya, "Can’t I call you if there’s nothing? You live at the Qi Residence now. Don’t you even greet me when you see me?"

Ye Suya looked at Ji Yunhuan and replied mildly, "I’m just afraid someone like me would tarnish Mrs. Qi’s status. Aren’t you afraid of losing face talking to me? In your eyes, I’m the most disgraceful woman."

"You have quite the self-awareness! Given that, how can you still stay here?" Ji Yunhuan looked at her disdainfully.

Ye Suya replied indifferently, "If Mrs. Qi finds me so unpleasant, shouldn’t you discuss with Qi Cheng and have him kick me out? Making things difficult for me here...seems pointless. I’m scared of many things, but not insults."

After all, she had struggled in showbiz.

As a female star, the pressure and insults she endured were beyond ordinary people’s understanding.

Ji Yunhuan felt an unrelenting anger. Ye Suya was sure she couldn’t make Qi Cheng drive her away, so she was provoking her?
