Chapter 91: Chapter 91 - The Woman Blinded by Jealousy_1

Grandpa responded indifferently, it was unclear if he disliked Ji Yunhuan or liked her.

Maybe he didn’t even take Ji Yunhuan seriously.

There were six people sitting at their table. Besides Qi Cheng’s father and grandpa, there was also his elder brother, his two uncles, and his cousin.

Ji Yunhuan didn’t have much of an impression of the others, but she remembered Qi Cheng’s elder brother, Leilei’s father.

Qi Cheng’s elder brother was around thirty-seven or thirty-eight years old, somewhat resembling Qi Cheng’s father, very handsome. Because he was older than Qi Cheng, he had a different aura about him.

But it was undeniable that he was a charming man.

He and his sister-in-law were equally matched.

He wasn’t as delicate as his second brother, nor as aloof. He had an indescribable shrewdness and sophistication. At this table, he was the youngest one. Yet he had an inexplicable ease about him.

Ji Yunhuan had heard before that Qi Cheng’s elder brother held a high position, but she never asked what exactly he did.

But it was definitely a position of great power.

Considering his age, while family connections played a part, it was undeniable that he had his own capabilities.

Qi Cheng took Ji Yunhuan around to toast each person at the table.

Ji Yunhuan watched as he drank six glasses of wine in a row, growing anxious.

She wanted to say something, but he seemed to understand her thoughts and warned her with a look.

He had already told her inside, all she needed to do was follow him and not speak out of turn.

Seeing him drink so much, his elder brother said, "Qi Cheng, I heard you just got out of the hospital, drink less."

"Out of the hospital?" Grandpa spoke out.

Qi Cheng replied, "It was a minor car accident, nothing serious."

Upon hearing this, Grandpa’s face fell, "You went out driving alone?"

If that weren’t the case, nothing would have happened.

Because usually when Qi Cheng went out, it was in a convoy, with cars clearing the way both front and back, guaranteeing safety.

A car accident could only mean one thing, he drove out by himself.

Qi Cheng said, "That day I wanted to go for a walk, didn’t expect such bad luck."

"You don’t take your own body seriously." Just a moment ago, the kind and restrained old man was suddenly terrifying when angry.

Qi Cheng said humbly, "Thank you for your concern, Grandpa. I will be more careful in the future."

After that, Qi Cheng received another scolding from his grandpa in front of his father and uncles before he was allowed to leave.

"Are you alright?" Ji Yunhuan looked at him, "Maybe you should go rest?"

After all, he had already toasted everyone.

"No need, I can handle it." Qi Cheng wrapped an arm around her and walked toward another table, where Mr. Gu and several important figures from City A were sitting.

Even though Qi Cheng was a junior, no one dared to act superior in front of him. Everyone was extremely polite, exchanging pleasantries.

Qi Cheng didn’t toast everyone individually, instead, he had a symbolic drink.

While drinking, Ji Yunhuan kept stealing glances at Mr. Gu, wanting to see his reaction. How would he feel seeing her married to Qi Cheng?

It turned out he kept his composure, showing no signs of unease.

"Yunhuan, congratulations! If your father could see you today, he’d be so happy." After drinking, Mr. Gu put on an elder’s manner, politely speaking to Ji Yunhuan.

Ji Yunhuan felt disdain inside, but she maintained a polite smile, "Thank you for your concern, Uncle Gu."

Mr. Gu then said to Qi Cheng, "Yunhuan grew up under my watch. You must take good care of her, Qi Cheng."

"Of course," Qi Cheng smiled, his eyes meaningful.

Ji Yunhuan looked at him, feeling like he was testing something. Before she could think further, Qi Cheng had already taken her to his friends’ table, where Fu Zilin was also present.

Seeing Qi Cheng get married, his friends wanted to drink him under the table. Ji Yunhuan, knowing he’d already had a lot, said, "Qi Cheng just got out of the hospital, he shouldn’t drink too much. I’ll drink for him!"

Her tone was assertive, not up for discussion.

Seeing her like this, no one objected but instead teased, "Qi Cheng, look how much your wife cares about you."

"Exactly, last time you drank for her when she was sick, now it’s her turn? Are you intentionally showing off your love?"

Qi Cheng couldn’t be bothered with them, just looking at Ji Yunhuan beside him.

She could really handle her alcohol, having drunk so much without showing any reaction.

Xia Duo was sitting at the next table.

Seeing Ji Yunhuan marry Qi Cheng, apart from Gu Xinran, of course, Xia Duo was the most unwilling.

But just a few days ago, she had argued with Fu Zilin over secretly visiting Qi Cheng, so she couldn’t show it too clearly. She could only politely act like a regular guest.

After dealing with a group of important guests, Ji Yunhuan had Qi Cheng go rest while she accompanied her second sister-in-law to entertain the female guests and her own relatives.

Halfway through the banquet, everyone wasn’t as reserved as at the beginning. Xia Duo, holding Leilei’s hand, wandered around and saw Ji Yunhuan beside her second sister-in-law, looking quite the hostess. She couldn’t help asking, "Leilei, who do you think is prettier, Teacher Xia or your aunt?"

"Of course, it’s Teacher Xia." Leilei looked at Ji Yunhuan and couldn’t help but lie.

After all, she was a proud little girl.

Hearing this, Xia Duo felt happy.

She held Leilei’s hand, "Shall we go play with your aunt?"

"Play what?" Leilei asked curiously.

"Of course, something fun." Xia Duo took Leilei’s hand and walked towards Ji Yunhuan, who was greeting guests.

When Ji Yunhuan turned around, she saw Leilei standing in front of her, feeling a small joy in her heart, "Leilei, why are you here?"

Leilei snorted and didn’t speak.

The guests around were curious, "Whose daughter is this? How pretty! Like a doll."

"She’s from my sister-in-law’s family," the second sister-in-law chatted with everyone.

"This, for you." Seeing Xia Duo’s signal, Leilei handed the wine in her hand to Ji Yunhuan.

"What is this?" Ji Yunhuan asked.

"For you to drink." Leilei looked at her innocently.

Ji Yunhuan glanced at Xia Duo, feeling something was off, and asked, "Can I not drink it?"

Leilei shook her head, "No."

After all, it was Xia Duo who told her to say so.

Ji Yunhuan had no choice but to take the wine.

Xia Duo smiled and said, "It’s rare for Leilei to want to toast her aunt. You wouldn’t turn her down, right?"

Ji Yunhuan looked at Leilei. She knew Leilei was a little angel. But even angels could be used.

She lifted the wine and asked Leilei, "I really have to drink it?"

The color of the wine itself looked unusual. Xia Duo, this vile woman, surely wanted to see her make a fool of herself.

Leilei nodded.

Ji Yunhuan saw the expectation in Leilei’s eyes, lifted the wine, and smiled, "Then I’ll drink it?"

Leilei looked at her. She had seen Xia Duo secretly spiking the drink. But being so close with Xia Duo, she wasn’t sure if she should tell Ji Yunhuan.

Xia Duo, seeing Ji Yunhuan really about to drink it, couldn’t help but smile. She eagerly awaited Ji Yunhuan consuming that drink.
