Married to My Ex-Fiancé's Cousin-Chapter 754: You Don’t Need to Worry About Me_1
Yangyang grabbed Second Sister-in-law’s hand. "No, although I already have a mom, in Yangyang’s heart, you’ll always be my mom."
Hearing Yangyang’s words, Second Sister-in-law couldn’t help but laugh. She gently patted Yangyang’s head. "Thank you, Yangyang. I was foolish before."
Even if they returned Yangyang to Ji Yunhuan, with Yangyang’s personality, he wouldn’t forget that she was kind to him. But back then, she feared Yangyang would be taken away by Ji Yunhuan and wouldn’t recognize her anymore.
In hindsight, such fears were utterly unfounded.
If she could have understood this sooner, she wouldn’t have ended up in such a situation with Ji Yunhuan. Additionally, there would have been no opening for Lin Xiang to take advantage of and exploit Second Brother.
Because Yangyang wanted to stay in the hospital with Second Sister-in-law, Ji Yunhuan and Qi Cheng left first. Before returning home, they went to the Qi Residence. Xiao Xuanxuan had been crying a lot. With Second Sister-in-law in the hospital, the baby had been cared for in turns by the servants and family members.
An infant without their mother nearby could cry several times daily.
When Ji Yunhuan went inside, Sister-in-law was holding Xiao Xuanxuan, trying to soothe him but failing. Sister-in-law looked utterly exhausted. When Ji Yunhuan and Qi Cheng came in, she began to complain, "Why are children so hard to calm down nowadays?"
Ji Yunhuan chuckled. "Let me try holding him."
Ji Yunhuan walked over and picked up Xiao Xuanxuan. She had heard from Mother Qi that when Leilei was small, Sister-in-law had only taken care of her for two or three months before getting busy with work. Mainly, it was Big Brother and the house’s servants who took care of her.
Naturally, Ji Yunhuan was better at soothing children than Sister-in-law, who didn’t spend as much time with them daily.
Ji Yunhuan held Xiao Xuanxuan and talked to him for a while. Gradually, the little guy stopped crying. Even if he was just a child, he clearly needed communication.
Sister-in-law sat nearby, watching Ji Yunhuan pacify the child.
Normally, Ji Yunhuan appeared distant and aloof, but she was much more approachable before children.
Seeing Xiao Xuanxuan stop crying, Sister-in-law smiled. "I remember after you left, Shi Xuan took care of Yangyang every day. No one else could calm him down like she could."
Ji Yunhuan was deeply moved upon hearing this. "Without Second Sister-in-law, Yangyang wouldn’t have grown up so healthily."
What good was having servants in the house?
Servants raising children never compared to their own parents.
Only Second Sister-in-law treated Yangyang like her own child.
Sister-in-law sighed. "When you returned and had that falling out with Shi Xuan, I was very surprised. She always protected you so much before. As an outsider, I struggled with whether to say something."
Ji Yunhuan quietly listened to Sister-in-law recount the past. Even though she had only been gone for two years, many things had happened in that time, and she didn’t fully grasp it.
Sister-in-law said, "I used to think Shi Xuan treated Yangyang well because she lacked children. Now she has a child, yet she still risked her life to save Yangyang. She probably didn’t think of that at the time, did she?"
"Yes." Ji Yunhuan agreed. "We are truly grateful to Second Sister-in-law for this."
"As long as you know. I hope you and Shi Xuan will stop fighting. It’s fate that brought us together as a family in this world. In the next life, who knows whom?"
"Thank you for telling me this, Sister-in-law. I understand." Ji Yunhuan had been working hard to mend her relationship with Second Sister-in-law.
Not for the past, but for the future.
Second Brother wouldn’t divorce Second Sister-in-law, and she naturally couldn’t leave Qi Cheng either.
So, they would always be a family.
Despite all the past conflicts and disputes, Ji Yunhuan just wanted the family to live together in harmony.
They talked with Sister-in-law in the living room for a while until they saw Qi Mo coming down the stairs. Seeing Ji Yunhuan and Qi Cheng, he didn’t say a word.
Qi Mo coolly kept his hands in his pockets and headed outside.
"Qi Mo, where are you going?" Sister-in-law frowned, feeling that this son became more disobedient each day. He always ignored her!
Qi Mo replied, "It’s my business, don’t worry about it."
Whenever someone spoke to him, he always seemed indifferent. Sister-in-law stood up in frustration. "These days I’ve been busy running to the hospital and haven’t supervised you. Have you been seeing your girlfriend again?"
"So what if I see my girlfriend?" Qi Mo paused, glanced at Sister-in-law. "I’m already eighteen, an adult. Do I still have to be restricted by you?"
"I told you repeatedly, you and that girl are impossible. You should stop seeing her!" Just thinking about Luo Sha and knowing her son took a liking to such a daughter made Sister-in-law particularly agitated. Never mind social standing, what did the Luo Parents look like?
If they really tangled with the Luo Parents, who knew how much trouble they’d bring!
"You tangle endlessly with that Fang person, so why can’t I have dinner or see a movie with my Luo Sha?" Completely disregarding Ji Yunhuan and Qi Cheng’s presence, Qi Mo surely didn’t care about saving face for Sister-in-law.
Ji Yunhuan watched from the side; Qi Mo’s rebellious demeanor was clearly full of resentment.
"Qi Mo!" Sister-in-law was almost fuming. She hadn’t expected her son to speak to her like that in the end.
Qi Mo sneered indifferently. "I know you’re my mom. But Mom, you hardly cared for me when I was little. So, don’t pretend to care about my business now, okay? I know exactly what I’m doing."
Finishing his words, Qi Mo swaggered out of the living room. Soon, the sound of a car leaving could be heard outside. Sister-in-law didn’t care about Ji Yunhuan and Qi Cheng and ran out in pursuit!
Watching Qi Mo’s car drive off, she was furious and couldn’t speak for a good while.
The old housekeeper who had been in the family for many years observed this and advised, "Young Master Sun is grown up now. He understands what he’s doing. Big Sister-in-law shouldn’t restrict him too much."
"Understand? What could he possibly understand?" Sister-in-law exclaimed. "Does he really think I can’t control him anymore? Even if I’ve been less strict these years, I’m still his mom. Without me, would he exist?"
She had avoided divorce because of the two children, but Qi Mo treated her this way.
The housekeeper sighed. "Sigh, Young Master Sun’s temper is quite like Big Master’s."
When they were young, Father and Mother Qi also rarely cared about Big Brother. Big Brother always had a distant personality. Now, Qi Mo’s temperament mirrored Big Brother’s when he was young.
Hearing the housekeeper, Sister-in-law couldn’t help but think of the past between Big Brother and Ye Suya. Frowning, she said, "If he dares to be with that girl, I’ll break his legs."
