Chapter 89: Chapter 89 Slapped in the Face_1

Hmph, she obviously saw Gu Yubai following Ji Yunhuan out, so she intentionally suggested coming here to see the bride. This was so the Qi Family could see Ji Yunhuan with Gu Yubai and watch how Ji Yunhuan handles the situation.

Ji Yunhuan had already gotten used to Gu Xinran causing trouble every time she appeared. "Ms. Gu, you should understand that you can eat carelessly, but you can’t speak carelessly. Don’t ruin Qi Cheng’s wedding because of our past issues."

How could she not know that Gu Xinran wanted to embarrass her?

However, how would this idiot Gu Xinran know how much Qi’s mother doted on Qi Cheng?

Even if Qi’s mother blamed her, she wouldn’t let her be embarrassed in front of the public.

On this point, Ji Yunhuan was very confident. After all, this concerned Qi Cheng’s reputation.

Gu Xinran said, "I never thought that. You are clearly my brother’s fiancée, but you betrayed him and married our cousin. You were clearly after our cousin’s wealth and Qi Family’s status. Do you know how much you hurt my brother? He even got into a car accident because of you. He was ridiculed by everyone for your sake. You married him, and now you’re seducing him again. Ji Yunhuan, I’ve never seen such a shameless woman like you! You only know how to act in front of our cousin and deceive him."

"You people from the Gu Family are really good at lying through your teeth." Ji Yunhuan furrowed her brows.

Obviously, it was Gu Yubai who was involved with Ouyang Fei first. Now, they were really able to slander her for dumping Gu Yubai.

Gu Xinran became even more justified. "Now you don’t dare to admit it. But can you deny that my brother got into a car accident because of you? Moreover, you’re a jinx. You caused my brother’s car accident and caused our cousin Qi Cheng’s car accident. How could someone like you have the nerve to marry our cousin?"

"Gu Xinran!" Ji Yunhuan looked at her, truly admiring her ability to say such things. Knowing Gu Xinran’s intent, Ji Yunhuan instinctively wanted to explain but hadn’t had the chance to speak.

Qi’s mother, triggered by Gu Xinran’s last words, interrupted their argument, "Enough!"

She didn’t want to hear any explanation from Ji Yunhuan now.

Whether Gu Xinran liked it or not, the fact was that Qi Cheng had a car accident.

Qi’s mother looked at Ji Yunhuan and said, "As the bride, you should have stayed with Qi Cheng. Now you’re out here with your former fiancé in an unclear situation. I saw it, but what if outsiders see it? How can the Qi Family maintain our reputation?"

"Mom." Suddenly, Qi Cheng’s calm voice came from behind.

Ji Yunhuan turned her head and saw Qi Cheng, surrounded by attendants, walking towards them.

At this time, he should have been in the lounge, she hadn’t expected him to come out.

In fact, Ji Yunhuan wasn’t afraid of Qi’s mother being angry; she feared Qi Cheng’s anger more.

Even though he was injured, he insisted on holding the wedding. Now, this situation happened with Gu Yubai. Although it was just a misunderstanding, how would Qi Cheng think?

He was unwell, and she feared making him angry.

Qi Cheng walked to Ji Yunhuan’s side, holding her hand, and told his mother, "I asked Ji Yunhuan to come out and find Gu Yubai. I have some matters to discuss with Gu Yubai."

His gentle voice struck Ji Yunhuan’s heart deeply.

Not knowing the whole story, he still defended her as soon as he appeared. His complete trust filled her heart entirely.

"Are you sure?" Qi’s mother looked at her son incredulously.

Qi Cheng’s gentle gaze fell on Ji Yunhuan. "I intended to come out myself, but Yunhuan, knowing I just recovered, didn’t want me to overexert myself, so she asked me to stay in the room and rest. As for her and Gu Yubai..."

Qi Cheng glanced indifferently at Gu Yubai. "Do you think any woman would ignore me and cling to an old lover? On the contrary, Mr. Gu Yubai, why are you always entangled with my wife? What’s your intention?"

Gu Yubai’s face turned grim at his question.

Any man seemed inferior in front of Qi Cheng.

Qi Cheng continued, "As for what Ms. Gu just said about Ji Yunhuan abandoning your brother to marry me, that is even more laughable! Remember, on Mrs. Gu’s birthday, I was there. Mr. Gu Yubai publicly announced that he and Ji Yunhuan had no relationship, and their engagement was canceled. Only then did I propose to Ms. Ji Yunhuan and asked her to marry me. If I remember correctly, Host Ouyang was present that day, and she was Mr. Gu Yubai’s companion. Ms. Ji Yunhuan, as a fiancée, not only did not get any respect from the Gu Family but also was humiliated by Ms. Gu Xinran. Host Ouyang can testify to this, right?"

Seeing Qi Cheng’s gaze turn to her, Ouyang Fei bit her lip and said, "Yes."

She wasn’t the only one who saw this. At this time, she didn’t dare lie.

Even if she wanted to stand by Gu Xinran, she couldn’t.

Qi Cheng smiled, "Alright, now that everything is clear, Mom should know that this isn’t Yunhuan’s fault, right?"

Qi’s mother understood that Qi Cheng had not asked Ji Yunhuan to find Gu Yubai.

But seeing how Qi Cheng defended Ji Yunhuan, she didn’t want to embarrass her son in public.

So, she nodded.

With his mother settled, Qi Cheng’s gaze fell on Gu Xinran. "Ms. Gu, after several lessons, it seems your habit of stirring up trouble hasn’t changed. I heard you’re about to graduate. Do you need me to ’look after’ your job placement?"

His tone was indifferent, but his eyes were icy cold.

Gu Xinran hesitated, understanding exactly what he meant by ’look after.’

She bit her lip and said, "No need."

Qi Cheng coldly warned, "It’s best not to need it. Today is my wedding with Yunhuan, so I’ll let you off this time. If you dare to spread this outside, you know the consequences."

Gu Xinran’s face turned red with shame and anger.

She never expected that even at this moment, Qi Cheng would still protect Ji Yunhuan.

Qi Cheng looked at Ji Yunhuan and said, "Follow me to the lounge."

Ji Yunhuan took his arm, glancing secretly at his profile, and asked in a voice only he could hear, "Are you okay?"

Qi Cheng walked straight ahead without looking at her.

Once they reached the lounge, he sat down, and his mother followed in.

Ji Yunhuan said, "Mom, please sit."

But as soon as she spoke, Qi’s mother slapped her.

Ji Yunhuan instinctively covered her face, looking at the furious Qi’s mother.

Never had she imagined that the usually gentle and dignified Qi’s mother could be so terrifying.

Qi’s mother was not only angry about today’s events but also angry about Qi Cheng hiding his injury from her. She had held back for a long time.

She said to Ji Yunhuan, "Don’t blame others for picking on you! As the saying goes, flies don’t land on seamless eggs. As Qi Cheng’s wife, you should avoid suspicion."

Qi Cheng looked at Ji Yunhuan with a hint of distress but also knew his mother was genuinely angry.

Qi’s mother had shown great restraint by not questioning Ji Yunhuan further outside.
