Chapter 364: Chapter 364: Qi Cheng’s Explanation (2)_1

She suppressed the intense pain in her heart and pretended to be calm, "I chatted with Qi Cheng for a while."

The more she resolved to leave Qi Cheng, the more profoundly she felt Qi Cheng’s pain and his deep love for her.

The truth kept telling her: This man was not worth it.

But every time she tried to leave him, she felt like her heart was going to shatter.

Seeing her eyes, which had unknowingly turned red but still held back the tears, Bai Liyan didn’t ask anything.

He and Ji Yunhuan went back to the living room. Ji Min and her aunt were still there. Lin Xiang was sitting on the couch, the female housekeeper was also present, and several servants were watching to prevent them from fighting again.

"Let’s go home." Ji Yunhuan said to her aunt and Ji Min.

Although these two were not instigated by her to come here, they came because of her. Ji Yunhuan didn’t want to keep them here any longer to embarrass themselves.

Since Qi Cheng decided to let Wen Nuan go, he should forgive them this time too.

"Did I give you permission to leave?" Lin Xiang said angrily, "You think you can just leave without a resolution to this matter? Do you think this place is what?"

"Lin Xiang." Bai Liyan spoke, "On their behalf, I apologize for today’s incident. Let’s just leave it at that. I’m sorry."

"Brother Liyan!" Lin Xiang angrily looked at Bai Liyan, "Didn’t you see how they bullied me? My face is injured. And now you’re speaking for them. You must be blind. I can’t believe I used to worship you when I was a kid."

"Isn’t it just a matter of pride?" Compared to the Lin Family, the Bai Family naturally held more power.

Lin Xiang bit her lip and looked at him, "No one in my family dares to bully me like this. I want to give you face, but this matter can’t be so easily dismissed."

"Then what do you want to do about it?"

Lin Xiang looked at Ji Min, her aunt, and Ji Yunhuan, her anger uncontrollable. Even if she fought back, she couldn’t vent her anger.

Before she could come up with an idea, Ji Yunhuan spoke, "I have something to say to Ms. Lin."

"But I don’t want to talk to you." Lin Xiang’s temper flared when she saw the blood on her face.

Looking at Lin Xiang, Ji Yunhuan said without humility or arrogance, "You dislike me because I came here today, don’t you? Though you got beaten up and feel aggrieved, this can be an opportunity for you."

"An opportunity?" Lin Xiang looked at Ji Yunhuan coldly, full of skepticism, "What opportunity?"

"I promise I will no longer have any involvement with Qi Cheng. Is that enough?" Ji Yunhuan knew that Lin Xiang was crazy about Qi Cheng. And Lin Xiang saw Ji Yunhuan as a rival.

For Ji Yunhuan, saying such a thing meant selling out her own bottom line.

After all, only she knew how deeply she still loved Qi Cheng. She couldn’t bear seeing another woman by his side.

But now, with things as they were, she had no choice. If Lin Xiang really pursued this, even if Bai Liyan helped her, it would be endless.

After all, her aunt struck first. They were in the wrong.

Lin Xiang sneered, "You shouldn’t have had any involvement with Brother Qi Cheng in the first place. Do you think your promise is worth anything? Do you think this will ease my anger?"

"Alright!" Ji Yunhuan smiled, "If you don’t agree, I’ll go find Qi Cheng right now. You should know he still can’t forget me. If I get back with him, do you think you still have a chance?"

Ji Yunhuan’s words left Lin Xiang stunned. Indeed, that was what Lin Xiang worried about the most.

Seeing Lin Xiang waver, Ji Yunhuan pressed on, "This deal isn’t bad, right? Plus, getting beaten up today will make Qi Cheng treat you even better. You won’t lose out. Or..." She deliberately paused before continuing, "Or, you don’t love Qi Cheng enough to endure even a little grievance for him?"

Lin Xiang’s eyebrows twitched. She was truly wavering.

But when she looked at Ji Min and her aunt, an indescribable fury boiled up inside her.

Was she really going to swallow this humiliation?

But even if she did, would Qi Cheng treat her well?

Thinking about Qi Cheng’s indifference when she was getting beaten, Lin Xiang’s heart ached to the extreme.

Moreover, she could feel that Qi Cheng wasn’t really willing to marry her.

"Let them go!" Qi Cheng spoke as he walked in from outside.

Seeing him side with Ji Yunhuan, Lin Xiang felt deeply unhappy, "Brother Qi Cheng, look at how they’ve beaten me. Even my parents wouldn’t hit me at home."

Qi Cheng’s eyes swept over Ji Yunhuan. Clearly, he had told her to leave, but he hadn’t expected her to instantly turn him into a bargaining chip.

He couldn’t help but wonder what he really meant to Ji Yunhuan.

She clearly didn’t care about her aunt and Ji Min, yet was willing to give him up for these insignificant women.

In Ji Yunhuan’s heart, he was worse than dirt.

Qi Cheng glanced at Lin Xiang, "Let them go. Let’s pretend this never happened. As long as you agree, I will marry you."

This condition stunned Lin Xiang. She couldn’t believe her ears, "Are you serious?"

"Serious." Qi Cheng’s eyes were resolute. Looking at Lin Xiang, a touch of tenderness appeared, "You’ve been with me since you were little. I understand your feelings for me. You’ve been so good to me. What reason do I have to refuse you?"

Compared to Ji Yunhuan, Lin Xiang was practically an angel.

At least Lin Xiang admired him without reason.

At least Lin Xiang wouldn’t trample on his feelings like Ji Yunhuan did.

After hearing Qi Cheng’s words, Lin Xiang looked at Ji Yunhuan and Ji Min again.

If she could endure this humiliation, she could marry Qi Cheng.

This was an opportunity that would never come again.

The man she loved most was finally willing to marry her.

The temptation was too great. She gritted her teeth and nodded, "Alright, I’ll do whatever Brother Qi Cheng says. Let them go!"

Ji Yunhuan stood aside, almost unable to stand as she watched the scene before her.

Bai Liyan embraced her to hide her vulnerability, "Let’s go."

He held Ji Yunhuan as they left the living room. Seeing this, Ji Min and her mother quickly followed. Staying any longer would only lead to more humiliation.

In the car, Bai Liyan drove, Ji Yunhuan sat in the passenger seat, and kept looking out the window.

The car crossed the bridge and passed through the gates of the Qi Family residence, leaving it far behind.

It felt as if she was witnessing her departure from the Qi Family two years ago.

Back then, she felt invincible. Now, thinking back, her heart was deeply wounded.

"Yunhuan." It was her aunt speaking from the back seat. She and Ji Min were also in the car. Her aunt spoke to Ji Yunhuan:
