Chapter 49: Chapter 49 Sorry to Put You Through This_1

"Mr. Qi..." The manager grew anxious. Who would have thought that by simply doing business, she would become collateral damage in this couples’ quarrel?

Qi Cheng didn’t respond. He just walked out.

Seeing his back, Ji Yunhuan raised her eyebrows innocently. This had nothing to do with her!

When she packed up and walked out, Qi Cheng was already gone. He only left her a car and a driver.

As soon as she walked out of Century Bridal, she received a call.

It was from the owner of the place where she used to work. "Ji Yunhuan, come over."

Ji Yunhuan had always felt grateful to the owner who had taken care of her, so she decided to drop by. The busy French Restaurant now had a "closed" sign hanging on the door.

As soon as Ji Yunhuan entered, she sensed an unusually tense atmosphere. The owner, who usually didn’t come to the restaurant, was sitting in the center, surrounded by the staff.

It was a French Restaurant where Ji Yunhuan used to work. Seeing her, everyone hurriedly greeted her.

"What happened?" she asked.

If it wasn’t something related to her, the owner wouldn’t have called her over.

"Today, Ms. Gu came here looking for you. When we told her you weren’t here, she started insulting our waitress, deliberately causing trouble, and got into a fight with our employees. One of our waitresses has been taken away... You know the status of the Gu Family, right? We can’t afford to offend them."

Ji Yunhuan’s entire face turned serious. "Gu Xinran?"

The owner nodded. "Yunhuan, what’s going on? Isn’t Ms. Gu your fiancé’s sister? I heard that Gu Xinran got hurt. Not only was our staff taken away, but she also threatened to sue our restaurant."

The owner, Wen Nuan, was in her early thirties and a young, intelligent woman. She and her husband ran the restaurant and lived a good life. She didn’t want trouble, but she didn’t expect to get into trouble with the Gu Family because of Ji Yunhuan.

Although the Gu Family acted submissively in front of Qi Cheng, in City A, because of their connections with Qi Cheng, no one dared to mess with them.

Hearing Gu Xinran’s name, Ji Yunhuan’s face turned cold. She told the owner, "I’ll find her and make her apologize to you."

Wen Nuan pulled Ji Yunhuan aside and whispered, "Did you break up with Gu Yubai? Otherwise, why would the Gu Family dare to treat you like this?"

"Yes." Ji Yunhuan didn’t deny it. After knowing Wen Nuan for several years, she knew what kind of person she was.

Upon hearing this, Wen Nuan looked regretful. "Your life wasn’t easy even when you were with Gu Yubai. Now that you don’t have the Gu Family as a backer, I don’t know how you’ll manage."

"Sister Wen Nuan, don’t worry. I know my own business. No matter what, I won’t let my problems affect your restaurant."

Although Wen Nuan said that, when she saw Ji Yunhuan out, she still looked worried. "There’s no need for her to apologize. I just hope she can settle this matter privately. You know we’re a small business, we can’t afford a lawsuit."

Paying some money and admitting a fault was something she could do. After all, one had to bow under the roof.

Even though Wen Nuan considered her own position, Ji Yunhuan had other thoughts and went directly to the Gu Family Residence.

At the Gu Family Residence, she wasn’t a welcome sight. Even the servants looked unhappy seeing her.

Ji Yunhuan ignored them and walked right in.

Gu Yubai’s parents were home. Seeing Ji Yunhuan walk in, Mrs. Gu looked uneasy. "Why are you here again?"

Ever since Ji Yunhuan blackmailed her for a million, Mrs. Gu was especially afraid of seeing her. She always felt that every time Ji Yunhuan appeared, it was to cause trouble.

Mr. Gu, having seen the world, kept his composure better. When he saw Ji Yunhuan, he greeted her with a kind face. "Yunhuan is here."

"Uncle Gu, I’m here to see Gu Xinran."

Since Mr. Gu wasn’t cold to her like Mrs. Gu, Ji Yunhuan naturally responded politely.

"Have a seat!" Without asking why she was looking for Gu Xinran, Mr. Gu directly asked the servant to bring her some tea.

Seeing Mr. Gu being so courteous, Ji Yunhuan chuckled. "Uncle Gu, there’s no need to be so polite with me."

"I’ve heard about what happened to the family recently. Yunhuan, it’s our fault for not managing the family well enough and making you suffer," Mr. Gu said with an apologetic look.

Ji Yunhuan curled her lips. "Uncle Gu, you’re being too serious."

"How is Chencheng recently? Still in the hospital? If you need money, just ask your Aunt Gu. I’ve already scolded her when I got back. She really was out of line."

In the past, hearing these words would have moved Ji Yunhuan. But now...

After Mrs. Gu’s birthday had passed and she had separated from Gu Yubai for so long, Mr. Gu’s words only seemed laughable to her.

"Thank you for your concern, Uncle Gu. Chencheng is doing well. As for my relationship with the Gu Family, it’s long over. You don’t need to say these things."

Mr. Gu said warmly, "Yunhuan, when your father was alive, he entrusted you to me. It’s my failure that you’ve suffered so much. I’ve talked to Yubai. He admitted he was just temporarily confused. As long as you’re willing to come back, everything will go back to how it was, and you’ll still be the future daughter-in-law of the Gu Family. If you’re willing, I’ll arrange for you to marry him immediately."

While Mr. Gu spoke, Mrs. Gu remained silent. Normally, would she tolerate such a situation?

Obviously, this decision was made after a discussion between the couple.

"Uncle Gu, there’s no need. I’m sure you’ve heard that I married Qi Cheng. Your words are a bit late," Ji Yunhuan refused.

Mr. Gu continued to persuade her. "I’ve heard about your marriage to Qi Cheng. I even met his parents a few days ago. But you know you have no connection with the Qi Family. For a prestigious family like theirs, you’re not a good fit. Qi Cheng’s parents aren’t very pleased with the marriage. I think you should reconsider before the wedding. If you’re willing to come back, I’ll talk to the Qi Family. After all, we are family. I’ve watched you grow up. Family members can’t avoid some conflicts. But is it worth holding a grudge over something that doesn’t benefit you?"

"In Uncle Gu’s eyes, marrying Qi Cheng is not beneficial? I don’t think so."

"Of course, you don’t know Qi Cheng well enough. Unlike Yubai, who you know inside out. Do you know what kind of women marry into the Qi Family? Qi Cheng’s sisters-in-law aren’t simple women. If you marry into the Qi Family, you’ll be bullied."
