Chapter 241: Chapter 241 Setting Her Up (4)_1

She really didn’t want to stay with me any longer. So, she would definitely do anything to anger Grandpa.

-

C City, the Qi family mansion stood like a statue, towering in the night.

Ji Yunhuan stood in front of the antique large window, looking at the yard and the rocks outside. Since she arrived, she had been confined here for the entire day without anyone paying attention to her.

Fortunately, she knew that Grandpa brought her here not to keep her locked up. So, she wasn’t in a hurry.

In the yard outside, there were several uniformed men patrolling.

Such strictness was something she had never seen before.

At this moment, there was a light knock on the door, followed by the sound of a lock being turned.

The door of the room was pushed open. A servant holding a key entered, followed by a young man in his twenties.

He looked at Ji Yunhuan curiously, raising an eyebrow slightly. "Are you my Brother Qi Cheng’s wife?"

Ji Yunhuan walked over. "I won’t be for much longer. Do you have something to say?"

"Grandpa asked me to take you to dinner." He smiled at Ji Yunhuan, making a gesture of invitation.

Extremely gentlemanly.

From what he called her, he should be Qi Cheng’s younger brother. The Qi family, besides Qi’s father, had many brothers. So Qi Cheng had many cousins.

As they left the room, the man introduced himself. "My name is Qi Ling. Qi Cheng’s father is my father’s own brother. I’m two years younger than Qi Cheng. You can just call me by my name."

Ji Yunhuan looked at him without speaking.

She was about to divorce Qi Cheng and had little interest in knowing more about his family.

Qi Ling looked at Ji Yunhuan regretfully. "I heard Grandpa brought you here because you want to divorce Qi Cheng. I just heard that my brother recently had a little son. Why do you want a divorce? Previously, my sister-in-law wanted a divorce because my eldest brother cheated. Did Qi Cheng cheat too?"

Ji Yunhuan remained silent.

She did not have the inclination to be familiar with strangers.

Qi Ling looked at her helplessly. "Why don’t you answer any of my questions?"

"If I don’t know how to answer, I won’t answer."

"Then, did Brother Qi Cheng cheat?" This man named Qi Ling was quite nosy.

Ji Yunhuan replied, "No."

"Then why do you want a divorce?"

Ji Yunhuan fell silent again.

"So many people want to marry into our Qi family. My brother has always been the perfect man in many women’s hearts. It’s unbelievable that you want a divorce!" Qi Ling was completely talking to himself.

He didn’t expect Ji Yunhuan to answer him, anyway. He knew she didn’t intend to answer any of his questions.

He smiled and didn’t intend to stop. "But don’t worry, Grandpa is very angry right now. There’s no way you guys are getting a divorce."

What he said was exactly what Ji Yunhuan worried about. She knew Grandpa wouldn’t let her go so easily. She just couldn’t guess what methods he would use against her.

During dinner, Grandpa wasn’t there, only she and Qi Ling.

Qi Ling kept talking beside her, lamenting how foolish her desire to divorce Qi Cheng was.

"Isn’t Grandpa eating?" Near the end of the meal, Ji Yunhuan asked curiously.

Not being able to see Grandpa made the stone in her heart remain uneased.

Qi Ling raised an eyebrow. "Grandpa went out. He went to meet with someone. He probably won’t be back until tomorrow."

"Uh..." So he brought her here just to confine her?

Ji Yunhuan thought he might take some action against her.

As it turned out, just as this thought came up, it was dispelled.

Qi Cheng’s grandpa didn’t come back all night. But after dinner, a doctor arrived.

They forced Ji Yunhuan to be injected with some kind of drug. She didn’t know what it was.

At first, she felt nothing. Later, when she took a bath, she started to feel a faint pain in her body.

It was a pain that came from deep within her bones.

After the bath, the feeling grew stronger, the pain became unbearable.

She came out of the bathroom, and the phone in the room was ringing. She endured the pain as she walked over and picked up the receiver. "Hello?"

Qi Ling’s light laughter came through. "How are you feeling now, sister-in-law?"

"Do you know what that drug..."

Qi Ling said, "Grandpa said if you change your mind, you’ll get the antidote. If you don’t, it’s okay. The drug’s effect will gradually wear off after three days and nights. At first, it will only hurt a little. Later, you’ll understand."

Even before ’later,’ Ji Yunhuan already understood now.

From the beginning of the pain until now, only ten minutes had passed, and she already felt that the pain was nearly driving her insane.

It was like the pain of a drug addict, tormenting her to the point where she wished she were dead.

The phone slipped from her hand.

She heard Qi Ling’s voice, "If you can’t hold on, you can call this number. I’ll let Grandpa know your thoughts."

Using her last bit of strength, she placed the phone back and sat down on the floor.

Really, it hurt!

Such punishment... no one could endure it.

She knew Grandpa just wanted to force her to change her mind, to make her stay with Qi Cheng.

When someone was in severe pain, they would slowly lose their will.

At that time, any thought, any goal would turn to ashes.

One had to admit, the old man had some means!

But, for Ji Yunhuan, once she made a decision, nothing could change it.

She crouched in the room, the light clearly above her head, but the pain made everything feel dark before her eyes.

She didn’t know how long the pain lasted. Finally, she regained some consciousness and slowly crawled onto the bed.

When people slept, the pain would lessen.

She thought so.

However, even a soft bed couldn’t change the pain coming from within her bones.

She buried her head under the pillow, wanting to forget her current situation, and for a moment, she really wanted to give in.

But... that thought disappeared immediately when she remembered the situation when her parents left.

If she really gave in, if she really chose to stay by Qi Cheng’s side, how could she face her parents who had loved and pampered her since childhood?

Which woman could live with the man who killed her parents for a lifetime?

It was like there were two little people arguing in her head. One hoped she would give in, while the other hoped she would stick to her resolve.

That night seemed particularly long, like several lifetimes.

She didn’t know how long it had been when the door opened.

Qi Cheng walked in from outside. Seeing her painful state on the bed, he heard his own heavy breathing.

Qi Ling followed behind him, looking at Qi Cheng with concern. "Brother."

"You gave her the drug?" Qi Cheng’s fists clenched tightly.

"This was Grandpa’s intention. She made him angry! But Grandpa is doing it for your good. When she can’t endure the pain, she will give in."
