Chapter 50: Chapter 50 Snatching Someone Else’s Wife_1

"Does he have an eldest sister-in-law and a second sister-in-law?"

"That means there are quite a few brothers in their family!"

Ji Yunhuan hadn’t thought about these things.

Though Mr. Qi was well-known, the outside world knew very little about his background.

She smiled at Mr. Gu and said, "Uncle Gu, do you think that compared to his eldest and second sister-in-law, I am not presentable?"

Afraid she would get angry, Mr. Gu spoke very implicitly, yet how could Ji Yunhuan not hear it?

Mr. Gu said, "Yunhuan, Uncle Gu is doing this for your own good. Right now, Qi Cheng may still find you refreshing, but what about later? Even though you are young and beautiful now, a woman’s age and appearance are the easiest to fade. When he no longer loves you, you won’t be able to survive in the Qi Family under such conditions."

Ji Yunhuan was well aware: Mr. Gu was worried that she might expose his secrets.

"This is not something you need to worry about, Uncle Gu. Compared to marrying in and being disliked by Gu Yubai, I’d rather be disliked by Qi Cheng when I get old."

As soon as she finished speaking, Gu Yubai appeared at the door in a wheelchair. He had just been discharged from the hospital, and his body was still unable to move freely, so he stayed in a wheelchair.

He looked at Ji Yunhuan, a feeling of heartache spreading in his chest. He remembered it was his previous mistreatment that made her marry his uncle out of spite.

Sadness seeped from his dark eyes. "Everyone makes mistakes, Yunhuan. Forgive me this once, and I will treat you doubly well in the future."

In front of his parents, he said such things without feeling ashamed. Ji Yunhuan, not willing to waste any more words on them, just asked, "Where is Gu Xinran?"

"What do you want with her?" Mrs. Gu asked worriedly, knowing Ji Yunhuan’s intentions couldn’t be good.

Last time at the hospital, Gu Xinran got beaten up, and again at the Qi Family Residence. Upon returning, Gu Xinran was so furious she almost wanted to jump off a building. It was Mrs. Gu who coaxed her to calm down. Mrs. Gu pleaded, "Though Xinran offended you, let her go! Must you push her to death?"

"If she wants to die, why shouldn’t I grant her wish? It was one thing for her to trouble me, but she even went to the restaurant where I used to work and caused a scene."

That wretched woman!

She deserved to be pushed to death.

Mrs. Gu sighed helplessly, "Look at what you’ve become now. You’ve lost your dignity as a young lady, and have become a vicious woman."

Ji Yunhuan snorted lightly. "My father died early. It’s natural I became like this. But Uncle and Aunt are still around. Why has Gu Xinran turned out like this?"

Mrs. Gu’s face stiffened. "Ji Yunhuan, you..."

She was clearly cursing her!

Ji Yunhuan said, "If she has a problem with me, she can come at me directly. Why cause trouble at my old workplace? Is this how Uncle and Aunt teach their daughter?"

"Is that true?" Mr. Gu exclaimed in surprise.

"Our Xinran is such an obedient child. How could she do such a thing?" In order to defend Gu Xinran, Mrs. Gu simply lied through her teeth.

"Obedient? Aunt, you better think twice before speaking."

"Even if you threaten me with past events, I can’t lie just to please you." Mrs. Gu said righteously.

"Fine. If you don’t bring her out today, I’ll be leaving. You’ll soon find out the consequences."

Ji Yunhuan stood up and started to leave.

"Ji Yunhuan, don’t push us too far." Mrs. Gu said fiercely.

Ji Yunhuan scoffed dismissively but said nothing.

Mr. Gu instructed the servant, "Call Gu Xinran back."

Only then did Ji Yunhuan sit back down. "Uncle Gu is reasonable after all."

Mr. Gu said, "I told you, we are all one family. If Xinran is disobedient, I’ll naturally discipline her. Surely Yunhuan won’t see us as outsiders."

"I dare not claim to be family." If it weren’t for the leverage she had on the Gu Family, Mr. Gu wouldn’t have time to deal with a young girl like her.

After leaving ’Century Bridal,’ Qi Cheng didn’t go back to the Qi Residence. At his mother’s call, he was forced to return home.

Today, only Mrs. Qi was home. As soon as Qi Cheng entered, he heard his mother ask, "What’s going on with you and Ji Yunhuan?"

"What do you mean what’s going on? Haven’t we agreed on the marriage? Why bring it up again, Mom?" Qi Cheng frowned.

"You think I want to bring it up?" Mrs. Qi was furious. "I heard Ji Yunhuan is engaged to Gu Yubai."

"Their engagement has been called off." Qi Cheng said, feeling a headache, wondering why his mother was so concerned about Gu Yubai.

"Called off? I had dinner with Gu Jingxing the other day, and he said it wasn’t."

"So what if it wasn’t? Am I, Qi Cheng, supposed to let others dictate who I marry? Even if their engagement wasn’t called off, I don’t have to respect Gu Yubai."

"Qi Cheng, you can’t act like this! Even if you must snatch someone’s fiancée, not here, right? Gu Yubai has to call you uncle. How could you take a younger person’s fiancée? How scandalous! Have you thought about how humiliating it will be for our Qi Family? Your dad and I will be cursed wherever we go."

"Mom, what younger person? Gu Yubai is only a few years younger than me, and you call him relative. What has that got to do with me?"

"Qi Cheng, I don’t care what kind of woman you marry. Our family has everything. As long as you like her, it’s fine. But if her character is bad and she loves to lie, I absolutely cannot accept such a woman." Qi Cheng was Mrs. Qi’s youngest son. She always pampered him and worried herself sick over him.

Thinking of her son taking someone engaged to another, her heart ached unbearably. She couldn’t help but reflect if she had spoiled him too much.

"Mom, I know all this. Don’t bring it up again. What’s between Ji Yunhuan and me is settled. The Gu family has ulterior motives. Don’t be deceived."

"Really? Are you saying Gu Jingxing lied to me?"

"Do you think he’s a good person? He’s old and still calls himself a junior in front of you. You can bear it?"

"No matter what kind of person he is, but you..."

"I have a sense of propriety. Yunhuan and Gu Yubai’s engagement was annulled, and Gu Yubai said it himself."

Comparing others, Mrs. Qi trusted her son’s integrity more. With such a family background, they couldn’t possibly have bad men.

She asked caringly, "Will you stay for dinner tonight?"

"No, I have something later." For some reason, he didn’t want to stay while Ji Yunhuan and her siblings were home. He wanted to go back to accompany them.

Mrs. Qi sighed, "If only you could spend more time with Mom!"

At that moment, a feminine but furious voice came from the door: "I’m so angry! So angry!"

Mrs. Qi and Qi Cheng paused their conversation.

A woman in fashionable but elegant attire walked in, her hair stylishly coiled on top of her head, her figure tall and graceful, but her face full of displeasure.

"Shi Xuan, what happened?" Mrs. Qi asked curiously.

Seeing Qi Cheng in the living room, Shi Xuan immediately calmed down. "Qi Cheng, you’re here. Just in time."
