Chapter 370: Chapter 370: Qi Cheng’s Protectiveness (3)_1

"Dr. Bai, you’re really different from before." Ji Yunhuan couldn’t help sighing, "When I first met Qi Cheng, it seemed like you quite disliked me."

"But I don’t dislike you now." He gently helped rub her hair.

Ji Yunhuan said, "There will always be many unexpected things in this world. The most surprising to me is that you turned out to be the one who stayed by my side till the end. Thinking about it, I really couldn’t find many people who believed in me. Even my cousins and aunts disliked me, thought I was very malicious."

"Kind people get bullied. Those who are too kind end up feeling wronged. It’s good that you’re like this."

Ji Yunhuan laughed, "Whenever I did something bad, my dad would always say the same thing to me. No matter how wrong I was, in his eyes, I was always right."

"No wonder you became so spoiled," Bai Liyan sighed.

Ji Yunhuan didn’t blame him for talking about her this way. She smiled, "I think I’ve been pretty obedient. I never did anything too excessive. Maybe just bullied a few girls who liked Gu Yubai during school."

"It seems you and Gu Yubai had a good relationship back then!" Hearing her mention the past, Bai Liyan couldn’t help but laugh.

Ji Yunhuan explained, "Not really. I was angry because he was already engaged to me. In my eyes, he belonged to me, so I couldn’t stand others liking him. Who knew it would end like this... If I had known, I wouldn’t have done so much for him. It seems so childish now."

Bai Liyan reminded her, "Be careful on the stairs."

As they went down the stairs, Ji Yunhuan continued, "With my personality, I only want to find someone who will cater to everything I say. He will listen to me, be good to me, and never betray me... But in the end, I made the most unexpected decision. There’s a saying that what you’re afraid of is what you will face, and it’s true."

Her long eyelashes covered the faint sorrow in her eyes.

Bai Liyan seemed to feel her pain too.

She was still in love with Qi Cheng, but had to part ways with him.

All because... she couldn’t stand betrayal.

In the past, she would never have done something to upset his mother, but now...

She had truly given up.

She wanted to sever all hope with Qi Cheng.

Bai Liyan said, "I think I’m quite easy to handle. I will be good to you, and I will cater to you, and I will never betray you. After all, I’m not interested in other women."

Hearing his words, Ji Yunhuan couldn’t help but laugh and punch him lightly, "You wish."

But Bai Liyan’s trust really moved her.

However, this feeling of being moved had nothing to do with love.

Upstairs, Qi’s mother was humiliated by Ji Yunhuan, and she couldn’t calm the anger in her heart.

Her sister-in-law tried to ease the tension, "Mom, don’t be angry."

"How can I not be angry? Look at how arrogant she is now. As soon as she left the Qi Family, she lost all manners." The old Ji Yunhuan was not so domineering. To think she would challenge her in front of everyone today.

After dinner at the restaurant, she returned to the Qi Family, still unhappy.

As soon as Qi’s mother got home, Qi Cheng came over.

Going upstairs, he entered the room and saw his mother lying on the bed, "Mother, what’s wrong?"

Qi’s mother looked at him, "I was just infuriated by that woman."

She didn’t want to tell Qi Cheng about this.

But, thinking of how Qi Cheng was still hung up on Ji Yunhuan, she felt the need to let him see Ji Yunhuan’s true colors. To make Qi Cheng completely give up on Ji Yunhuan.

"That woman?" Qi Cheng asked, confused.

"Ji Yunhuan," Qi’s mother said, "I went out with your sister-in-law today and saw her with Bai Liyan."

"Really?" Although he had decided not to care about her anymore, he didn’t expect to hear about her from his mother.

Qi Cheng’s face couldn’t help but stiffen.

Qi’s mother said, "She instigated her family to treat Lin Xiang that way. I said a few words to her, and she angered me to death. I’ve never seen anyone so arrogant. With you protecting her, she really has gone too far."

"Did you trouble her?" Qi Cheng frowned and asked.

To think that after saying so much, this was the response she got. Qi’s mother looked at Qi Cheng angrily, "She made me so angry, and now you’re feeling sorry for her?"

"Lin Xiang’s situation has nothing to do with her." Qi Cheng didn’t want to bring it up again.

He knew Ji Yunhuan was innocent.

And at this moment, he had truly given up on her, and didn’t want to have any more conflicts with her. He also didn’t want his family to trouble Ji Yunhuan because of Lin Xiang.

"You still feel sorry for her?" Qi’s mother’s heart nearly broke with anger, "Qi Cheng, have you forgotten how she treated you when she left? How heartless she was then? Now that you’re with Lin Xiang, she comes out to stir things up, and you’re still defending her?"

"I said I wouldn’t interfere in this matter." Qi Cheng looked at his mother helplessly. He didn’t believe that she could suffer much from Ji Yunhuan. Ji Yunhuan was in a hurry to get away from him, how could she possibly trouble his family?

Most likely, it was his mother who troubled Ji Yunhuan. With Ji Yunhuan’s personality, how could she tolerate it?

In the past, when his mother hit her, she never complained because her heart was still with the Qi Family.

Now that she had nothing to do with the Qi Family, she probably wanted to be disliked even more.

Thinking of this, he felt a special kind of pain.

Because Ji Yunhuan truly didn’t plan to come back!

"You say you won’t interfere, and what about Lin Xiang? Look at how badly she was hurt. If her parents ask, how will I explain?" Qi’s mother thought Qi Cheng was really under Ji Yunhuan’s spell.

Qi Cheng looked at his mother, who was leaning against the pillow, "Do you really want to seek justice for Lin Xiang?"

"Lin Xiang is the daughter of the Lin Family. She is a guest in our family and your fiancée. How can we let people bully her?" Initially, she didn’t plan on doing anything, but seeing Qi Cheng favor Ji Yunhuan so much, Qi’s mother didn’t want to let Ji Yunhuan off.

Qi Cheng stood up, "Then go ahead and continue troubling her. Seek justice for Lin Xiang as you please. And forget about my marriage with Lin Xiang. I’m not interested in her."

"..." Seeing Qi Cheng’s serious expression, which didn’t seem like he was joking, Qi’s mother was horrified, "Do you really like Ji Yunhuan that much? She ignores both you and me, has no regard for old feelings, and you still want to protect her?"

"I just don’t want any more entanglements with her, and I don’t want you troubling her behind my back. She is alone and unattached. Is it necessary to make things difficult for her?" Qi Cheng finished speaking and looked at his mother, "I’m leaving. Whether you want to pursue Ji Yunhuan is up to you."
