Chapter 34: Chapter 34: Settling Accounts with the Gu Family_1

Ji Yunhuan was stunned to see him speaking so easily, "But when we get to your house, what if he notices that we don’t get along? He’s very perceptive and sees through everything."

"I’ve thought about that too." Qi Cheng stopped walking. "This is the test for you. For your brother, to what extent can you go? I’ll cooperate as much as I can."

For some reason, at this moment, his commanding tone didn’t seem so annoying.

Ji Yunhuan looked at his back and followed him.

Back at the Qi Family Residence, after dinner, she changed her clothes. The servant handed her the gift she had previously asked to be wrapped, "Madam, do you want to take this?"

Ji Yunhuan glanced at it and took it, "Yes."

"This is really handmade by him?" Chenchen unwrapped the gift, looking at the small handmade lion in disbelief. Qi Cheng’s craftsmanship was excellent, very exquisite.

Ji Yunhuan said, "Do you like it? I originally wanted to give it to you on the day of your accident, but you..."

"I’m sorry, sister. I must have worried you." Seeing Qi Cheng’s sincerity, Chenchen finally stopped being stubborn and began to reflect on his mistakes.

Of course, he no longer mentioned leaving the hospital.

Seeing his attitude, Ji Yunhuan finally couldn’t help but sigh in relief.

No matter what happens in the future, for now, at least he was stable.

Otherwise, if he insisted on leaving the hospital at this time, even if she could forcibly keep him there, it wouldn’t benefit him at all.

His body couldn’t withstand any stress.

She reached out and touched his head, "Don’t do this anymore, okay? If something happens to you, what am I supposed to do?"

Chenchen nodded, then remembered the Gu Family, "But, with the Gu Family treating you like that, can you stand it? Why did Gu Yubai’s mother hit you?"

Mentioning the Gu Family, Ji Yunhuan felt a fire in her heart.

Before, when Mrs. Gu slapped her, she wasn’t this angry. But now...

If it weren’t for them, Chenchen wouldn’t have almost gotten into trouble.

Although the dangerous period had passed, she was still scared.

Therefore, she hated the Gu Family to the extreme.

Today, Ouyang Fei came to the hospital to see Gu Yubai. She had only visited him twice since he got sick. It wasn’t that she didn’t want to come, but they were both too conspicuous.

She was afraid that if she showed up too often, she’d be photographed by reporters. Now, although Ji Yunhuan was married to Qi Cheng, no one else knew except the Gu Family. Everyone still thought Ji Yunhuan was Gu Yubai’s fiancée.

If Ouyang Fei got too close to Gu Yubai, she’d be seen as the mistress.

Today, her colleagues visited Gu Yubai, so she came along and stayed a bit longer.

At this moment, she pushed the door open and saw Ji Yunhuan standing at the entrance, taking the initiative to speak, "Sister Yunhuan."

Every time Ji Yunhuan appeared, it was like a nightmare to her.

She didn’t know who Ji Yunhuan was pretending to look so pitiful for, but Ji Yunhuan said coldly, "I came to see Gu Yubai."

"He’s in... but his mother and Xinran are there. You better not go in."

"It’s good that they’re there. Why shouldn’t I go in?" She wasn’t here to see Gu Yubai but to settle accounts with the Gu Family.

She pushed open the ward door and walked in. The three people inside were stunned to see her.

Before coming, Ji Yunhuan had asked carefully:

It was Mrs. Gu who said she was with Qi Cheng.

It was Gu Xinran who said Qi Cheng had many women and was just playing with her.

Additionally, both had verbally attacked Chenchen.

And standing aside, watching coldly, was Gu Yubai, whom she had trusted for so long.

"Yunhuan, why are you here?"

Gu Yubai was the first to speak, his voice very gentle.

But to Ji Yunhuan, it sounded painfully false.

She looked at Mrs. Gu, who was embarrassed by her appearance, and said, "Aunt Gu, good to see you’re well. Did you think by hiding, I wouldn’t come to find you?"

Mrs. Gu’s face stiffened. She indeed didn’t want to see Ji Yunhuan because she still owed her a million yuan.

Now that Ji Yunhuan had come to her, she had no way to avoid it. "I’ve prepared the money. I was just about to give it to you."

"Money, what money do you need to give her?" Gu Xinran asked nervously.

Previously, Mrs. Gu had given money to Ji Yunhuan to stop her from entangling with Gu Yubai.

Now that Ji Yunhuan was with Qi Cheng, forget about giving her money, it would be polite of them not to ask her for money.

Ji Yunhuan sat down on the sofa, as if she were the host here.

Her aloof attitude made Ouyang Fei, who followed her in, feel awkward.

In front of the Gu Family, Ouyang Fei was always cautious and courteous, not wanting them to dislike her. But Ji Yunhuan...

She lacked any politeness.

Yet, even so, Ouyang Fei found herself awed by Ji Yunhuan’s demeanor.

Mrs. Gu handed the check to Ji Yunhuan, "This is one million yuan. Take it."

"One million?" Gu Xinran’s eyes widened. "Mom, are you crazy? Why give her one million? Even if she has Qi Cheng supporting her, our family owes her nothing."

Mrs. Gu didn’t speak, cautiously watching for Ji Yunhuan’s reaction. Considering Chenchen’s recent incident, she hoped Ji Yunhuan would settle for the million and let things go.

Ji Yunhuan glanced at the check and sneered, "Do you think one million is enough?"

As expected...

Her guess proved correct; Mrs. Gu’s expression turned ugly. "You agreed to one million before; don’t back out now!"

"So what if I back out? You want to lock me up again like last time?" She looked at Mrs. Gu disdainfully. "Your family almost killed Chenchen. How do you intend to settle that?"

"We didn’t do anything to him. He came to my brother’s ward to cause trouble. Can’t we teach him a lesson?"

"Teach him?" Ji Yunhuan sneered, eyes icy. "My brother, why do you get to teach him a lesson? Who do you think you are?"

Gu Xinran was startled by her gaze but summoned her courage, "Don’t think you’re so great just because Qi Cheng has your back!"

"What if I do think I’m great? Aunt Gu, your daughter has displeased me. What do you think should be done?"

She didn’t lift a hand, directly tossing the problem to Mrs. Gu.

Mrs. Gu’s face was stiff. Instinctively, she wanted to protect her daughter. "Xinran was just..."

"Think carefully before you speak." Ji Yunhuan knew Mrs. Gu was afraid of her now and understood how important her leverage was over the Gu Family.

Even considering Qi Cheng, the Gu Family didn’t dare provoke her.

Ji Yunhuan’s forceful tone made Mrs. Gu’s face even more unsightly.

She knew that if she defended her daughter here, it would anger Ji Yunhuan even more.
