Chapter 202: Chapter 202: Can’t Bear Her Being Scolded_1

"She is my wife." Qi Cheng glanced at Ji Yunhuan and said, "She has been in a bad mood lately. Leilei went missing, even if it’s her responsibility, I will take it on for her. I will find Leilei. Yelling at her won’t bring Leilei back."

"She is just a junior. Why can’t I say a few words to her?" Qi Cheng’s mother looked at the silent Ji Yunhuan coldly and said, "Isn’t it because of this that she doesn’t respect me?"

"When did she ever disrespect you? I told you not to yell at her. Can’t you see she is not feeling well..."

"A woman who can’t even take care of herself, who can she blame? If she is unwell, she shouldn’t have taken Leilei out."

"I don’t want to talk to you!" Qi Cheng was angry too.

He was already unhappy about what happened, and now his mother’s words made him even more upset.

He looked at Ji Yunhuan and said, "We’re not welcome here. Let’s go home."

"Qi Cheng!" This time, Qi Cheng’s mother was really angry. "You’ve gone too far."

"It’s not me who went too far, it’s you." Qi Cheng said, "I’ve said, if you’re unhappy, take it out on me. Why do you always target her? You never criticize second sister-in-law or eldest sister-in-law, and you always talk about how bad big brother and second brother are, don’t you?"

"Is she the same as your eldest sister-in-law or second sister-in-law? How obedient is your second sister-in-law? Can she compare? Your eldest sister-in-law has a husband who treats her poorly, but she is still obedient. Look at your wife. She not only doesn’t show filial piety but also instigates you to go against me!"

"This has nothing to do with her," Qi Cheng said. "I can’t stand you scolding her."

"If that’s the case, don’t bring her back here anymore. I don’t have a son like you."

"Mom," second sister-in-law advised.

Qi Cheng’s mother didn’t stop and directly left the living room.

Second sister-in-law looked at Qi Cheng and Ji Yunhuan. She wanted to say something but held back when she saw Qi Cheng’s expression.

Qi Cheng held Ji Yunhuan’s hand. "Let’s go home."

Seeing his serious look, Ji Yunhuan realized he was really angry. He was angry at his mother for her sake!

The atmosphere in the whole family chilled because of this argument.

Even the usually talkative second sister-in-law didn’t know what to say.

The eldest sister-in-law, worried about Leilei, directly contacted people to search for her.

All she wanted to say had already been said by Qi Cheng’s mother, and it wasn’t worth adding fuel to the fire here.

But today’s matter was indeed Ji Yunhuan’s fault.

Even if Qi Cheng defended her, it didn’t change the fact.

Qi Cheng tightly held Ji Yunhuan’s hand, leading her out of the Qi Family. Ji Yunhuan followed behind him, feeling an indescribable guilt. She never expected Qi Cheng would go to such lengths for her.

She still remembered that when they got married, Qi Cheng’s mother slapped her, and he didn’t say anything. Now he had changed.

He knew her sadness and understood her grief of losing Chenchen. So, he didn’t want to see anyone hurt her or bully her again.

He wanted to be like a big tree, shielding her from all the storms.

But... but...

For so long, she never once thought from his perspective.

Ji Yunhuan tightened her grip on his hand. "Qi Cheng."

Qi Cheng reached out and opened the car door for her. "Get in."

Ji Yunhuan got in, and he immediately followed.

Looking at him, Ji Yunhuan felt unprecedented guilt. "This is all my fault. I’m sorry."

Not only did she lose Leilei, but she also caused him to argue with his mother.

When did she become so useless?

Qi Cheng said, "You’re not wrong."

"Actually, getting scolded a bit is nothing. She is an elder."

"But I can’t bear it." Qi Cheng gently pulled her into his arms. "I don’t want to see you getting scolded. It hurts me deeply when you’re yelled at. If there’s any blame, it should be on me. I knew you weren’t in a good mood but still forced Leilei on you."

He had hoped she could pay more attention, not be constantly entangled in Chenchen’s matter, but he didn’t expect things to turn out this way.

Ji Yunhuan looked at him with shame. Seeing Qi Cheng care so much for her, she didn’t know what to say.

"I’ll apologize to her later. You both don’t need to argue because of me. I know you love me, Qi Cheng. I never thought you would treat me so well."

He was never the kind of person to easily defend someone.

But this time, he was irrationally partial to her.

Qi Cheng held her hand tightly. "Let’s talk about it later. I’ll take you back to rest."

"Okay." Her body was still feeling a bit unwell.

He took her home and continued the search for Leilei.

During the day, the whole City A was turned upside down by the Qi Family.

The elder brother, who was out of town, dropped everything and rushed back upon hearing Leilei was missing.

In the evening, Qi Cheng’s mother sat in a chair, rubbing her temples in distress. Second sister-in-law advised her, "Mom, don’t be angry anymore. Have something to eat."

Qi Cheng’s mother was not only worried about Leilei but also very upset with Qi Cheng.

Thinking about how Qi Cheng treated her for Ji Yunhuan’s sake, she felt extremely hurt.

In the Qi Family, such things rarely happened, but this time, what was it?

Xia Duo didn’t know when she came, but she sat next to Qi Cheng’s mother, comforting her. "Leilei will be found."

She was unaware of the argument between Qi Cheng and his mother, only knowing Leilei was missing and rushed over.

Everyone was busy, no one paid attention to her. She unintentionally reconnected with the Qi Family.

In the evening, Ji Yunhuan knocked on the study door and saw Qi Cheng on the phone.

Standing by the desk, holding his phone, he looked at her upon hearing the knock and quickly ended the call, walking towards her. He had been searching for Leilei all afternoon and hadn’t spent much time with her.

"Dinner’s ready. You’ve been busy all afternoon."

Ji Yunhuan wanted to help him but seemed unable to do anything.

The Qi Family was all looking for Leilei, and there was nothing she could do.

Even though she was worried about Leilei, she didn’t know where to start looking.

Qi Cheng nodded. "Let’s go. Dinner. I know you’ve been worried all day."

"No news yet?" If Leilei was really harmed or kidnapped, she didn’t know how she could stay in the Qi Family.

Qi Cheng said, "No."

"Then will she be alright?"

"She will be." Qi Cheng didn’t want to think negatively. Holding her hand, they went downstairs. "For you, I will find her. I don’t want you to feel guilty or be hated by everyone because of this."

"Why are you so good to me?" She looked at him, puzzled. "I haven’t considered your feelings at all recently. Why do you still treat me so well?"

Thinking about her attitude recently, she couldn’t stand herself either.
