Married to My Ex-Fiancé's Cousin-Chapter 1001: Sending Him Away

"...But I didn’t do anything wrong!" Even if he was wrong, he had already been slapped by Lin Zhenyu.

So, Zi Han felt very wronged, and he didn’t want to apologize.

"What? You know you did something wrong, yet you refuse to admit it? Whose child are you? Who are your parents? Since you don’t want to apologize, let your parents do it for you."

Zhou Yixiu was sure this child was not from the four big families, nor the Qi Family. He thought, Ji Yunhuan wouldn’t possibly make a scene over an unrelated child, right?

Having the child’s parents come to apologize was perfectly reasonable.

After all, he never allowed his child to suffer outside.

Otherwise, Zhou Luo might be bullied again in the future.

At the mention of parents, Zi Han was on the verge of tears.

Ever since his adoptive parents had the car accident, he would become very silent whenever this topic was brought up.

Ji Yunhuan couldn’t stand it anymore, "Zhou Yixiu, you’re going too far. He’s just a kid; why are you making it so difficult for him?"

"And isn’t Mrs. Qi making things difficult for my son? Yes, I’m the bad guy, but my son did nothing wrong; you let your daughter and her friends bully him. Don’t you think that’s excessive? I’m just seeking fairness."

"I didn’t do any of the things you’re accusing me of."

"I heard Qi Yin say it myself." Zhou Yixiu glanced at Qi Yin; what Qi Yin said just now was evidence.

"I thought Mr. Zhou was a magnanimous person, but it turns out you’re so petty. You just want an apology, right? I apologize! It’s my fault, Ji Yunhuan, for not teaching Qi Yin well, letting her say things she shouldn’t have, making you unhappy. Is that enough now?"

"It’s enough." Zhou Yixiu said, "I accept your apology, and I won’t fuss over what Qi Yin said. But he..."

Zhou Yixiu looked at Zi Han, clearly not intending to let it go with just Ji Yunhuan’s apology.

Ji Yunhuan found it ridiculously laughable.

Who could tell her why she was racking her brains to defend Zi Han?

Even if Zhou Yixiu did something to Zi Han, it would be Zhou Yixiu’s own karma, not something Ji Yunhuan had to get involved in.

But...

She looked at her daughter, thinking if she didn’t defend Zi Han, Qi Yin might resent her for a lifetime.

After all, in Qi Yin’s eyes, Zi Han saved her.

Ji Yunhuan gritted her teeth and said, "The child’s parents are already dead; if you want an apology, you’ll have to wait until after death."

"..." Zhou Yixiu looked at Zi Han with no expression.

But Zhou Luo, perhaps not expecting something like this, tugged on Zhou Yixiu’s hand, "Dad, let’s go back. I’m fine now."

He didn’t feel aggrieved anymore.

Zhou Yixiu glanced at Ji Yunhuan and then at Zi Han. Seeing that Zhou Luo didn’t mind anymore, he didn’t bother to say anything more. He just said, "Let’s leave today’s matter at that. Just... make sure to keep better control of your child in the future, Mrs. Qi."

"..."

Watching the Zhou family leave, Ji Yunhuan looked at Qi Yin and sighed helplessly.

Qi Yin didn’t pay attention to Ji Yunhuan and went to Zi Han’s side, looking at him with concern, "Brother Zi Han, are you alright? Does it hurt?"

Zi Han didn’t say a word.

He was still young but nevertheless felt a sense of helplessness.

Everyone else had parents to protect them; he didn’t.

Although Ji Yunhuan helped him out, it was nowhere near the level of Zhou Luo’s parents.

Children, though young, can keenly feel adult attitudes.

After what happened just now, Ji Yunhuan didn’t let the two kids run around and directly took them to the lounge to rest.

In the evening, back in the room, she told Qi Cheng about what happened today. "You have no idea; it almost made me furious. Thinking about Zhou Yixiu and Lin Zhenyu’s arrogant attitudes, I really wanted to reveal the truth about Zi Han to slap them in the face. But considering the consequences, I decided against it."

Qi Cheng asked, "Is Zi Han alright?"

"He should be alright. He was playing quite happily with Feng’er and Qi Yin in the evening." Ji Yunhuan sighed and sat on the sofa.

Qi Cheng looked at her and said, "Don’t let this weigh on you. By the way, I’ve already made arrangements for Zi Han, and after Uncle’s birthday, we’ll send him away."

"Didn’t we agree to let him stay a bit longer?" Ji Yunhuan felt it was too soon.

Qi Cheng said solemnly, "Don’t you think he’s been getting too close to Qi Yin lately? Although they are just kids, I don’t want them to develop any feelings."

"Oh..." Ji Yunhuan looked at Qi Cheng, "They are still young."

"Exactly! Precisely because they’re young, I want to prevent them from becoming too close. Qi Yin and Zi Han are originally from two different worlds." Qi Cheng continued, "Moreover, I’m afraid that if you develop feelings for Zi Han, you won’t want to let him go."

People are emotional beings; if you spend too much time with someone, you’ll get used to their presence and won’t want to see them leave, especially with a child as adorable as Zi Han.

Honestly, if Zi Han weren’t Zhou Yixiu’s child, Qi Cheng completely wouldn’t mind having one more in the family, wouldn’t mind raising him.

However, the longer they spend together, the more he fears he’ll relent.

Ji Yunhuan understood what Qi Cheng meant, "That’s good too. Otherwise, I would have wanted you to keep him and not send him away."

Zi Han, this child, was too likable.

In just a few short days, Ji Yunhuan was almost reluctant to part with him.

Always worrying about whether the child would suffer or face other problems without her as he grew up, but thinking seriously, he actually has nothing to do with her.

Her worries were completely unfounded.

So, Ji Yunhuan felt that Qi Cheng’s decision to send Zi Han away was correct.

She didn’t think Qi Cheng’s concerns were superfluous; on the contrary, she totally understood his perspective.

Qi Cheng looked at Ji Yunhuan and said, "Don’t worry too much. It has to be a good family that I’ll be sending him to. He’ll have a good life in the future."

"Oh." Ji Yunhuan looked at Qi Cheng and said, "Actually, anyone who sees how well-behaved Zi Han is would like him!"

-

They stayed in C City for two days before returning to City A.

Ji Yunhuan prepared many gifts for Zi Han.

Needless to say, the thought of sending him away had already made her start missing the child.

In the morning, as Ji Yunhuan came out of the kitchen, she heard Qi Yin sitting on Qi Cheng’s lap asking, "Dad, are you sending Brother Zi Han away?"

"Brother Zi Han should go to his new home; he can’t always stay with us," Qi Cheng didn’t hide it from Qi Yin.

Qi Yin frowned, "But I really like him! What will I do when he leaves?" After what happened with Zhou Luo, Qi Yin liked Zi Han even more.
