Married to My Ex-Fiancé's Cousin-Chapter 796 Grandpa Passed Away_1

After speaking, Big Brother left, as he had to prepare to return.

Ji Yunhuan stood behind Qi Cheng, listening clearly to what Big Brother had said, knowing that the wedding could not continue.

But now, that was not important.

Once Grandpa got better, they would have another chance in the future.

What worried them most was still Grandpa’s health.

Neither of them felt sleepy anymore and started changing clothes.

Big Brother had already arranged for a helicopter. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

The wedding matters were directly entrusted to Xu Qingyang and Zi Zai to handle.

Qi Cheng and Big Brother’s families took the helicopter to the airport, then flew back to the country.

Just as they exited the C City airport, Big Brother received a call from home.

After he hung up, his face turned somber.

During the whole journey, Big Brother’s expression had been solemn, but now it looked even worse. Everyone guessed what that meant.

Sure enough, Big Brother said, "Grandpa passed away."

This news made everyone’s hearts skip a beat.

Although they knew that people would die sooner or later and that Grandpa would one day leave, losing a loved one so suddenly made everyone’s hearts ache.

Although Grandpa had put a lot of pressure on everyone, it couldn’t be denied that he had always supported the Qi Family and cared deeply for them.

Sitting in the car, no one spoke.

Even the usually restless Ruirui sat quietly in Ji Yunhuan’s arms, looking around with wide eyes.

Two hours later, the car arrived at the Qi Residence. Even before entering the door, the sorrow emanating from within was palpable.

Due to Grandpa’s special status, the news of his death had not been immediately spread. Those who had come were all from the main branch of the Qi Family.

Grandpa had fallen ill several times before, but each time he had pulled through. This time, however, it was sudden, even the old butler, Song Bo, couldn’t hold back his tears.

Qi Cheng and the others were far away, so they returned later than others. The mourning hall had already been set up.

They first paid their respects to Grandpa’s body. Soon after, Qi Father and Qi Mother called Big Brother and Qi Cheng away.

Ji Yunhuan and her sister-in-law stood aside, watching Qi Ling, dressed in black, walk past. Even this usually playful young master now wore a serious expression, showing how much this had impacted the Qi Family.

Almost everyone who passed by wore a somber expression.

Ji Yunhuan stood next to her sister-in-law. She looked at those passing by and said to Ji Yunhuan, "Now that Grandpa has passed, everyone looks so sorrowful. But actually, few are truly affected by emotion."

Her words surprised Ji Yunhuan.

Ji Yunhuan looked at her in surprise, "Why do you say that?"

"They care about their future after Grandpa’s gone. Without Grandpa’s protection, those still struggling midway will have a tougher path," her sister-in-law, who had been in the Qi Family longer than Ji Yunhuan, saw things more clearly.

"It shouldn’t be that bad, right?" Ji Yunhuan said. "The Qi Family has been established for so many years, it shouldn’t be affected so quickly, right?"

Her sister-in-law sighed lightly, "I hope so!"

But she knew well that many things in this world were not so simple.

In the afternoon, Ji Yunhuan and Qi Cheng were in the upstairs room. Qi Cheng stood by the window, smoking silently.

Ji Yunhuan knew Qi Cheng felt sorrowful. Regardless of how others felt about Grandpa, Qi Cheng had always cared about him. After all, Grandpa had always doted on him.

She walked to Qi Cheng’s side and said gently, "Qi Cheng, my condolences."

"I’m fine," Qi Cheng glanced at Ji Yunhuan, wanting to reassure her. "At Grandpa’s age, leaving was bound to happen sooner or later. At least he’s free from suffering now."

Several times when Grandpa fell ill, everyone watched with heavy hearts.

Leaving was also a kind of peace for Grandpa.

In the afternoon, the news of Grandpa’s passing was finally revealed.

Ji Yunhuan stood by, looking at Qi Cheng. She asked somewhat worriedly, "Grandpa’s departure, it won’t have too much of an impact on the Qi Family, will it?"

"It won’t," Qi Cheng held Ji Yunhuan in his arms. "How could it have any impact? Even with Grandpa gone, the Qi Family’s influence runs deep, there won’t be any problem."

At most, it wouldn’t be as glorious as when Grandpa was around.

Now, both Qi Father and Big Brother were in high positions. Even with Grandpa gone, it wouldn’t cause too much disruption.

Ji Yunhuan looked at Qi Cheng and smiled, "Actually, I don’t care about the Qi Family’s state. Even if Qi Cheng had nothing, I would still be by your side."

But Ji Yunhuan knew too well the feeling of falling from a high place.

When you fell, those who had suffered under you would seek to trouble you. No one wanted to see you live well.

...

After the news of Grandpa’s passing spread, many important figures and some of Grandpa’s subordinates came to pay their respects.

Downstairs, Qi Father and Qi Cheng’s uncle were greeting these important figures. All they could say were words of consolation.

Ji Yunhuan did not go downstairs. As a woman, it was naturally inconvenient for her to show her face.

She rested in the room with Qi Cheng for a while before Big Brother called Qi Cheng away.

Ji Yunhuan, feeling bored after Qi Cheng left, went out to check on Ruirui and Yangyang. Since they arrived, the children had been taken care of by the servants.

She stepped out and saw her second sister-in-law sitting in a wheelchair, with Lin Xiang standing in front of her.

Lin Xiang looked at her second sister-in-law with a provocative look, "What happened to you, Second Sister-in-law? How did you get yourself into this state?"

Lin Xiang’s words made her second sister-in-law clench her hands tightly.

Seeing no answer, Lin Xiang mocked, "I heard that it was to save Yangyang that you ended up like this? You really have a good heart. Even after Ji Yunhuan treated you that way before, you still risked your life to save her son."

"It’s none of your business," her second sister-in-law said coldly.

She hated her current state, being laughed at by Lin Xiang.

Lin Xiang’s arrogance was blatant.

She was followed by two bodyguards, with much more pomp than before.

Ji Yunhuan frowned at the scene.

The Lin Family dared to be so arrogant at the Qi Family because Grandpa had favored them.

Later, Lin Xiang pushed her second sister-in-law and was sent abroad by Grandpa.

Even now that Grandpa had passed away and she found a chance to return, she shouldn’t be so arrogant, should she?

Especially considering that Lin Zhenyu was still suffering because of Zhou Yixiu and was having a hard time.

Where did Lin Xiang find the nerve to be so smug?

Lin Xiang sneered at her second sister-in-law, "Second Sister-in-law, I’m just concerned about you. In your current state, I’m not sure if you can still satisfy Second Brother in bed?"
