Chapter 58: Chapter 58 His Indulgence_1

Upon hearing that Ji Yunhuan and Qi Cheng came here looking for her, Gu Xinran was certain that Ji Yunhuan was here to cause trouble over her restaurant.

She originally had no way to deal with Ji Yunhuan and was only looking for an opportunity to pick a fight. She didn’t want to be bullied by Ji Yunhuan again now.

She whined, "I won’t go!"

"How can you not go? She came once yesterday, and she’s here again today. If you don’t go, she won’t give up and Qi Cheng will be unhappy as well." Mrs. Gu was also helpless.

Gu Xinran stubbornly said, "Do you think anything good can come from her looking for me? She’s definitely here to give me a hard time again! I don’t want to be bullied by her every time." Gu Xinran was infuriated. When the Ji Family was at its peak, she was oppressed by Ji Yunhuan for twenty years. She finally thought she would turn things around. But now, Ji Yunhuan had connected with Qi Cheng. "Mom, you know how malicious Ji Yunhuan is. If I go down, won’t she just kill me?"

"If you don’t go down and anger Qi Cheng, the consequences will be the same. Trust me, Mom will protect you and won’t let her bully you. And aren’t you injured? Qi Cheng, out of respect for your father and me, won’t be too harsh on you."

"Injured..." Gu Xinran’s eyes flashed with a peculiar light over this matter.

Ji Yunhuan sat on the sofa, coldly watching Gu Xinran as she came down from upstairs, supported by Mrs. Gu. Gu Xinran hobbled over, with bandages on her knee and forehead...

As if Gu Xinran was so heavily injured that she couldn’t get up.

Mrs. Gu supported Gu Xinran as she sat on the sofa, not forgetting to remind her, "Be careful."

"Uncle, do you have something to tell me?" Gu Xinran’s voice was weak, as if she were about to die.

Mrs. Gu sat down next to Gu Xinran, helplessly saying, "Our Xinran is just unlucky. She went to the restaurant the day before yesterday, and for no reason, someone beat her like this."

Hearing this, Ji Yunhuan couldn’t help but laugh. Clearly, it was Gu Xinran who caused trouble first. Mrs. Gu could really play the victim well.

Ji Yunhuan looked at Gu Xinran with sympathy, "You seem to be seriously injured. Really pitiful."

"No matter how serious the injury, as long as Uncle called me, I still have to come down," Gu Xinran said obediently.

She was playing the obedient and well-behaved child.

"That’s tough on you," Ji Yunhuan replied on behalf of Qi Cheng.

Gu Xinran said, "Do you have something to tell me? I heard you came yesterday. I was in the hospital all the time. I’m really sorry."

Knowing that being tough wouldn’t work, she chose to comply now. She probably had never been so ladylike in her life. Frankly, she was pretending to be an innocent girl. Unfortunately, this trick didn’t work on Ji Yunhuan at all.

Ji Yunhuan looked at Gu Xinran with sympathy, "You harmed someone else and made yourself look so pathetic. You should really go to the hospital for a check-up, especially on your head."

Gu Xinran’s face darkened, "Yunhuan, we’ve known each other for over a decade. I should now call you Aunt. How can you talk to me like this?"

"Hah! My words make you uncomfortable? I’m really sorry about that. But this is just how I talk. Are you upset?"

"Even if you scold me, I deserve it. Only because Uncle likes you now," Gu Xinran said in grievance.

Seeing her look like a bullied wife, still playing weak even after being bullied by herself, Ji Yunhuan couldn’t help but get closer to her, "Are you really that badly hurt? Can’t even talk to me loudly?"

Ji Yunhuan suddenly got closer, and Gu Xinran’s heart tightened. She was afraid Ji Yunhuan would figure out she was faking it.

Every time Gu Xinran went out, she was surrounded by bodyguards. She loved this kind of grand appearance and loved appearing high-profile in front of others. For an ordinary restaurant employee to hurt her this badly was simply impossible.

Ji Yunhuan was clearly aware of Gu Xinran’s tricks. She gently patted Gu Xinran’s shoulder, then suddenly reached out, grabbed, and snatched away the necklace from Gu Xinran’s neck. This necklace Gu Xinran had worn for many years and never took off. Now when it was suddenly snatched away, she instinctively stood up, "Ji Yunhuan, you..."

That yell didn’t sound like a sick person at all.

Ji Yunhuan sat back beside Qi Cheng, smiling at Gu Xinran, "Weren’t you injured? This doesn’t look like it."

"You..." Seeing Qi Cheng also curiously watching her, Gu Xinran was extremely embarrassed, "Give me back my necklace. What right do you have to rob my things?"

Ji Yunhuan threw the necklace back to her, "I know very well where to pull your hair to cause you pain. Don’t play these tricks in front of me. The day before yesterday you went to my former workplace restaurant, caused trouble, locked a waiter up, and even threatened to sue the restaurant. Why play weak in front of me now? If you hate me, come at me directly. Why make trouble at my former workplace?"

"Which eye of yours saw me causing trouble on purpose?"

"How about I bring the surveillance footage?" Ji Yunhuan coldly stared at her, "No need to argue with me now. Luckily your parents are here. Let them see clearly what kind of person you are."

"They beat me like this..."

"Beat you how?" Ji Yunhuan curiously looked at her, "Or should we call a doctor to check carefully?"

Gu Xinran’s expression was extremely embarrassed. She wasn’t injured at all. Even if she were injured, it wouldn’t matter. As long as the injury wasn’t too serious, Qi Cheng clearly favored Ji Yunhuan.

Qi Cheng told the people in the living room, "Call the doctor."

"Yes."

The doctor arrived quickly, along with a lawyer. Qi Cheng said to the doctor, "Check Ms. Gu’s injuries first."

Mrs. Gu knew her daughter was faking it. Seeing this scene, she quickly pleaded, "Qi Cheng, Xinran is just a child... She may have done something wrong. She now knows she was wrong."

"Apologizing to me is pointless. This matter is decided by Yunhuan."

Mrs. Gu couldn’t help but look at Ji Yunhuan.

Ji Yunhuan’s purpose was very simple, "Considering Ms. Gu’s injury, I don’t want to make things difficult for Ms. Gu. Just go to the restaurant, sincerely apologize to everyone there, compensate for all damages, drop the lawsuit, and admit that everything was your doing. Then I’ll let you go."

She knew that such a punishment was enough for Gu Xinran because Gu Xinran’s pride would never allow her to apologize.

But what right did Gu Xinran have to refuse now?

Seeing Gu Xinran didn’t even dare to protest, Ji Yunhuan didn’t want to stay longer. Eager to take Gu Xinran to apologize, she looked at Qi Cheng, "Shall we go?"

Qi Cheng stood up, wrapped his arm around her shoulder, and walked out. The two of them looked like a loving couple.

Gu Yubai sat on the second floor, helplessly watching them leave.

In the eyes of others, Ji Yunhuan was still his fiancée. But she was already someone else’s wife.

Ji Yunhuan told Qi Cheng, "I’m going to my previous workplace restaurant. Are you coming? It’d be too high-profile for you to go."

"It’s on the way." He decided to accompany her.
