Chapter 369: Chapter 369: Qi Cheng’s Protectiveness (2)_1

Qi Mother didn’t plan to let Ji Yunhuan off, "Don’t you think you’re being too overbearing? Do you really think my Qi Family is that easy for you to bully?"

Ji Yunhuan glanced coldly at Qi Mother, "So, what do you want? Since Ms. Lin was injured, I’ll bring my aunt-in-law here and you can teach her a lesson?"

"Would shifting the blame to someone else really clear you? If it wasn’t for your instigation, would they have the guts?" Qi Mother completely distrusted Ji Yunhuan.

When Lin Xiang went home last night, the injury on her face was quite obvious. Seeing the usually cute and lively girl in that state, caused by Ji Yunhuan’s relatives, how could Qi Mother not be furious?

Although Ji Yunhuan had left the Qi Family, she was still so arrogant. How could Qi Mother tolerate this?

Moreover, Lin Xiang was from the Lin Family, which had a close relationship with the Qi Family. And being beaten up by Qi Cheng’s ex-wife was something that couldn’t be easily explained, bringing shame to the Qi Family.

Seeing Qi Mother being so relentless, Ji Yunhuan stood up with a smile, "It seems Aunt is determined to find trouble with me today?"

"I just want to seek justice."

"So, do you want me to let you slap me twice to vent your anger?" Ji Yunhuan asked.

"That wouldn’t be an issue," Qi Mother replied bluntly.

Ji Yunhuan didn’t expect her to actually say that.

She smiled, "Alright, then let you slap me twice."

After saying that, she walked towards Qi Mother, but Bai Liyan pulled her back, "Yunhuan, be rational."

He knew Ji Yunhuan was infuriated and was acting on impulse.

She was not one to easily suffer losses.

She wasn’t the type to tolerate insults from others.

"It’s okay. If I don’t let her hit me, how will she vent her anger?" Ji Yunhuan walked towards Qi Mother, standing right in front of her, "It was my fault Ms. Lin got hurt and beaten. Go ahead and slap me!"

Qi Mother initially wanted to teach her a lesson, but didn’t expect Ji Yunhuan to provoke her so arrogantly. Unable to control herself, she stood up, "Do you think I really don’t dare?"

"Of course, I know you dare. You hit me before, and I still remember it vividly. Just two slaps, if it will make you feel better, go ahead," she said. Back then, as Qi Cheng’s wife, she tolerated it because Qi Mother was her elder.

Qi Mother actually didn’t want to hit her and warned, "Don’t provoke me!"

"I’m waiting for you to hit me today," Ji Yunhuan said. From the beginning, Qi Mother hadn’t shown her any courtesy. Just because she stayed silent didn’t mean she didn’t hear the insults. How could she tolerate it? She wasn’t someone who let others push her around.

She wanted to see what Qi Mother would do!

Seeing Ji Yunhuan’s attitude, Qi Mother’s slap really swung down.

But halfway through, Ji Yunhuan intercepted it. Her hand was stronger than expected. Looking at Qi Mother with a light smile, she said, "Even if you hit me, consider this. I won’t hide it for you. After you’ve hit me, I’ll tell Qi Cheng. Will he still listen to you and marry Ms. Lin? That’s uncertain."

Her attitude clearly mocked her.

How could Qi Mother not see that?

This Ji Yunhuan...

When she was at the Qi Family, she was quite low-profile, not like others who said she was sharp-tongued and mean. Who knew now... her true colors revealed, was indeed infuriating.

Qi Mother withdrew her hand, coldly saying, "Do you think Qi Cheng will be swayed by just a few words from you?"

"I don’t know if he’ll be swayed, but I think you, as his mother, surely know. Didn’t you say before that I am a vixen, only good at inciting him against you?" Ji Yunhuan’s attitude was contemptuous, showing no fear of Qi Mother.

Qi Mother was truly enraged, never had she been this furious.

But, she understood Qi Cheng’s personality too well. For the past two years, Qi Cheng always had Ji Yunhuan on his mind. Now that he was willing to marry Lin Xiang, it seemed he had been deeply hurt by Ji Yunhuan.

If Ji Yunhuan really intervened again, it wasn’t unlikely Qi Cheng would be swayed.

Qi Mother’s hand couldn’t strike, as she didn’t dare gamble.

She didn’t dare risk Qi Cheng’s future.

She didn’t want Qi Cheng entangled with Ji Yunhuan anymore, just hoped he could marry Lin Xiang smoothly and completely rid of Ji Yunhuan.

Second Sister-in-law, seeing Ji Yunhuan’s attitude, couldn’t help but say, "Yunhuan, you’ve gone too far. How can you treat Mom like this?"

"She’s your mother-in-law, not mine," Ji Yunhuan replied coldly, "Didn’t you hear how she insulted me?"

"That’s because you caused Lin Xiang to get hurt first."

"Second Sister-in-law also thinks I was behind Lin Xiang’s incident?" Looking at Second Sister-in-law, Ji Yunhuan’s eyes showed disappointment.

She could see Second Sister-in-law feared she would take Qi Cheng away and didn’t trust her as before.

She used to think Second Sister-in-law was the best to her in the Qi Family.

Things in this world were truly unpredictable.

Even those you trust, when things come to a head, how many still believe you?

"Let’s go back," she said to Bai Liyan.

Bai Liyan thought Ji Yunhuan was ready to take a hit and was prepared to protect her, but she ended up embarrassing Qi Mother.

Sometimes, her actions were easily misunderstood and infuriating.

In the past, he might think she went too far. Now, he actually found himself understanding her.

She was strong-willed, just not wanting to be bullied.

When appropriate, she always sought to retaliate.

At the entrance, while Bai Liyan paid the bill, Ji Yunhuan silently waited by his side, appearing very quiet.

She was so arrogant in front of Qi Mother, but now she seemed incredibly silent.

Bai Liyan came over, put his arm around her shoulders, "Let’s go."

"Mm."

They got on the escalator, which began to carry them down.

Looking at her beside him, Bai Liyan asked with concern, "Did you eat enough? We can find another restaurant to eat."

She definitely didn’t eat well earlier, as they were interrupted by Qi Mother halfway through.

Ji Yunhuan looked at the considerate Bai Liyan, "I made Qi Mother so angry. She must hate me now."

Bai Liyan smiled, "It’s alright. Let her be angry. She didn’t care about your feelings when she spoke. Anyway, she has made you suffer a lot before. Just consider it giving it back."

"Don’t you think I’m scary for doing this?" Ji Yunhuan knew Bai Liyan didn’t like her personality much.

He used to dislike her a lot.

Bai Liyan looked at her, not showing any disdain but filled with understanding, "No, I don’t."
