Chapter 204: Chapter 204: Finally Understanding and Being Considerate of Him_1

Qi’s mother, however, merely smiled disdainfully and twisted Ji Yunhuan’s words, "So, you mean that he quarreled with me today to protect you; is that what you’re saying?"

"..." Ji Yunhuan was truly at a loss for words.

Qi’s mother looked at her coldly, "Enough! Qi Cheng has never treated me like that before today. I don’t know what you’ve been telling him behind my back, but don’t think that pretending to be a good person here can clear you of everything. I have eyes. I can see!"

She had heard that Ji Yunhuan was malicious, and she didn’t pay attention before. Now she knew that this woman was cunning.

Ji Yunhuan, confronted by Qi’s mother’s words, felt an unprecedented embarrassment. She had thought that her apology could at least make Qi’s mother less angry, but she didn’t expect that her apology would only add fuel to the fire.

Even though Ji Yunhuan had never made Qi Cheng defend her like that, in Qi’s mother’s eyes, Qi Cheng’s behavior was all Ji Yunhuan’s fault. Her apology was just pretending to be innocent.

Xia Duo, not knowing what had happened, could tell that Qi’s mother disliked Ji Yunhuan.

"Auntie, don’t be angry." Xia Duo comforted.

Qi’s mother looked at how well Xia Duo got along with Leilei and then said to Ji Yunhuan, "From now on, let Teacher Xia teach Leilei. As for you... a woman like you who is irresponsible and only causes trouble, I don’t even want to see you."

Originally, Xia Duo was driven away because she slandered Ji Yunhuan.

Now that Ji Yunhuan had made everyone angry, Qi’s mother would definitely side with Xia Duo.

Ji Yunhuan looked at Qi’s mother, "Since this is Mom’s decision, I have nothing to say."

Given what had happened, she naturally couldn’t be Leilei’s teacher anymore. But, bringing Xia Duo back, her mother-in-law clearly intended to embarrass her.

Ji Yunhuan stood up. There was no longer any smile on her face, only endless coldness. She was human. She had dignity. She would apologize, but she would also get angry, "From now on, I will try not to appear in front of Mom and not bother you."

Without lingering, Ji Yunhuan walked straight out the door.

Watching her proud back, Qi’s mother felt an indescribable fury, yet there was nothing she could do about Ji Yunhuan.

No matter how bad Ji Yunhuan was, Qi Cheng liked her, and they were married. It made no sense for them to divorce easily.

Xia Duo watched Ji Yunhuan’s departing figure and then looked at Qi’s mother’s expression. She felt extremely delighted.

She hadn’t expected Ji Yunhuan to fall from grace so quickly.

She had an urge to laugh.

It was hard to hold back.

The second sister-in-law and second brother had just sent off a middle-aged woman and were chatting in the courtyard when they saw Ji Yunhuan walking out alone.

"Yunhuan."

Ji Yunhuan heard the second sister-in-law’s voice, looked up at her, "Second Sister-in-law."

The second sister-in-law walked up to her, noticing her stern face, "Did Mom scold you?"

Ji Yunhuan didn’t respond.

She was really furious.

Today, Qi’s mother was being completely unreasonable.

Even if she was a senior, it didn’t justify shaming her like that.

No matter what, she was married to Qi Cheng, so who did Xia Duo think she was?

The second brother said, "Mom was confused by Qi Cheng making her angry today. We’ll persuade her; don’t take it to heart. She’s not a bad person and often cares for you. When you and Qi Cheng are not around, she talks about you often!"

"Yes, Yunhuan, don’t take it to heart."

Ji Yunhuan nodded. Thinking of how Qi’s mother had never made things difficult for her for no reason after being with Qi Cheng for so long, her anger decreased somewhat. Considering Qi’s mother’s feeling of loss over Leilei’s disappearance and Qi Cheng’s rebellion, she said, "I understand."

"Then come in. It’s very cold outside." The second sister-in-law rubbed her hands together and said to her.

"No, I’ll wait for Qi Cheng here."

Going back in would only let Xia Duo see her as a joke.

She might as well wait until Qi’s mother calms down.

Qi Cheng had been scolded by his father for using that kind of attitude towards his mother.

He listened and didn’t argue with his father. The issue had passed, and it was an unpleasant matter, so he was too lazy to dispute it further.

He came downstairs, and not seeing Ji Yunhuan, heard from his second sister-in-law that she was outside. He quickly followed her out.

In the evening, the sound of a fountain in the courtyard could be heard. Ji Yunhuan stood at the edge of the courtyard, staring at the plants and flowers.

Several lamps were lit around her, making her figure appear somewhat lonely.

Feeling a slight chill, she put her hands in her pockets.

She looked at the plants and was no longer so angry about what had just happened.

Instead, she was reflecting on herself.

This incident caused her grievances, but more importantly, it highlighted her problematic attitude towards life.

She felt she should turn over a new leaf.

Even if it was for Qi Cheng, who had always protected her, she didn’t want such things to happen again.

Qi Cheng walked over silently, wrapped his arms around her waist, and whispered in her ear, "Did Mom scold you?"

Ji Yunhuan looked at their overlapping shadows, "It’s late; let’s go home."

She didn’t really want to discuss the issue. The more she said, the more mistakes she would make, and she was afraid that in his agitation, Qi Cheng would go and argue with his mother again. Then she really wouldn’t be able to clear things up.

In the early morning, Ji Yunhuan stood by the window, looking outside. Like yesterday, it was a sunny day.

In early spring, such weather was full of poetic charm.

Qi Cheng came out of the bathroom; he had just taken a bath in the morning. Wiping his hair with a towel, he looked at Ji Yunhuan by the window, "Why are you up so early today?"

Recently, she had been sleeping late every day, like a hibernating animal, completely losing her enthusiasm for life.

Ji Yunhuan looked at him, her eyes glowing, "I was afraid that if I got up too late, I wouldn’t see you."

Qi Cheng walked over, "No way."

She took the towel from his hand and helped him dry his hair.

Qi Cheng looked at her passionately, "Is it because I argued with Mom for you yesterday that you’re thanking me today?"

Ji Yunhuan scoffed indifferently, "You think too much. I just feel like I’ve been too lazy recently and want to do something."

"You don’t have to do anything every day."

He always went along with her wishes.

Ji Yunhuan pouted, "I don’t want to be like before anymore."

"..."

She looked into his eyes, "During this time, I’ve caused you a lot of trouble. I feel I shouldn’t continue to fall into decline. I’m sorry for making you bear so much for me during this time."

Not only did he endure family pressure, but he also tolerated her indifference.

"You finally know to care for me." Qi Cheng smiled, joy evident in his eyes.

"Yes, care for you." Ji Yunhuan stood on her toes and kissed his lips.

Qi Cheng hugged her tightly, feeling that his efforts were not in vain; she finally saw him.

-

The morning sunlight was brilliant. In the hospital ward, the injured Ye Suya woke up, slowly opened her eyes, looked at her brother standing by the window, and said in a voice full of grievance, "You finally came to see me."
