Married to My Ex-Fiancé's Cousin-Chapter 798: A Change in the Family_1

Qi Cheng saw the displeasure on her face and walked over, "Did something happen?"

"Lin Xiang has returned," Ji Yunhuan said, unhappy.

"I saw her," Qi Cheng wasn’t affected by Lin Xiang and didn’t care about her at all.

Ji Yunhuan followed Qi Cheng to a quieter spot and told him about Lin Xiang bullying the second sister-in-law. She also recounted how she had stepped in to teach Lin Xiang a lesson.

Qi Cheng listened to Ji Yunhuan with a serious expression.

Ji Yunhuan said, "She was really excessive to do that to the second sister-in-law."

"It’s okay. We’ll find another chance to deal with her," Qi Cheng looked at Ji Yunhuan, "But you’re alright, aren’t you?"

"What could be wrong with me?" Ji Yunhuan thought about Lin Xiang’s arrogant demeanor, "Even if she has found new support now, if she wants to bully me, I’ll make sure she suffers."

To destroy a thousand enemies at the cost of eight hundred of your own. As long as Lin Xiang dared to provoke, Ji Yunhuan definitely wouldn’t let that despicable woman off easily.

Qi Cheng saw the coldness flashing through her eyes and gently tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, "It’s going to be busy the next few days. Take care of yourself."

"Mm."

The memorial service and funeral were held with great grandeur. Major TV stations reported on it. Qi Cheng was busy too. Until the funeral ended, Ji Yunhuan had only seen him once.

After Grandpa was buried, the Qi Family held an internal family meeting.

Unlike other families, the Qi Family had too many members, and too many side branches involved.

To allow the family to develop well, everyone needed to plan the future properly.

Selecting someone to replace Grandpa as Family Head was the best choice to maintain peace.

However, Qi Cheng’s eldest and second uncles argued over the matter.

Although the eldest uncle was the eldest son, his current status was not as high as the second uncle’s. The second uncle wanted to become Family Head so that everyone in the future would listen to him.

Just like that, the two argued over it.

That night, Qi Cheng came back late. Ji Yunhuan had already put the two kids to bed. She looked at the tired Qi Cheng, "What’s wrong? Not happy?"

The current situation made it impossible for Qi Cheng to be happy. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

He sighed helplessly, holding Ji Yunhuan’s hand as he sat down, "I never thought that a family that was originally so harmonious would end up quarreling like this after Grandpa’s passing."

It showed that Grandpa was the pillar of the family. Even in his old age, his authority held the Qi Family together.

Ji Yunhuan sat beside Qi Cheng, comforting him, "It’s alright. No matter how they argue, it has nothing to do with you. Don’t let these things bother you."

"Even if it has nothing to do with me, it’s still frustrating!" As long as the matter wasn’t resolved, they had to hold meetings every day over these trivial issues.

Listening to Qi Cheng’s words, Ji Yunhuan reached out to massage his shoulders, "Shall I give you a back rub?"

"That would be a great help."

"No problem. I don’t mind." Ji Yunhuan moved behind Qi Cheng and began to massage him thoughtfully, "Don’t you just love it when I do things for you?"

As long as Ji Yunhuan’s heart was with him, Qi Cheng was happy.

Feeling Ji Yunhuan’s care, Qi Cheng’s mouth curved into a smile, "If you were this considerate every day, I’d be even happier."

"As long as you’re happy."

The couple had not been together long before the elder brother came. He was clearly also worried about recent events.

He called Qi Cheng out. It was Qi Father who had gathered the family for a small meeting.

Ji Yunhuan followed Qi Cheng.

Because the eldest and second uncles were vying for the position, the stance of the Qi Family members was very important. However, Qi Father had always been neutral. It was hard for him to side with anyone. Yet he couldn’t just stand by. He had to make a decision.

Qi Father called everyone to hear their opinions.

After all, whoever became Family Head could influence the future development of the Qi Family.

Ji Yunhuan sat to the side, listening to their discussion. She didn’t quite understand the ins and outs. She wasn’t familiar with the eldest and second uncles, having only seen them at important events. They were people she usually didn’t encounter.

In the end, everyone preferred the eldest uncle as Family Head.

Even though his current position wasn’t as high as the second uncle’s, he was the eldest and most qualified.

Everyone agreed and voted for the eldest uncle. Thus, Qi Cheng’s eldest uncle unsurprisingly became the Family Head.

This move displeased the second uncle, who took issue with Qi Father and the elder brothers. He decided not to associate with the family anymore.

The second uncle’s family left, while only the eldest uncle’s family stayed for a meal at the Qi Residence.

After the meal, everyone attended to their own matters.

Because of the big event and several days of rushing around, Ji Yunhuan and Qi Cheng didn’t go to France. Instead, they took the children back to City A.

Qi Cheng didn’t mind much. He never cared about such things, but Qi Father’s mood didn’t improve.

Everyone knew that with Grandpa gone, any further division in the family spelled trouble for the Qi Family.

Qi Father was very worried about this.

The elder brother kept advising him not to worry about it.

Grandpa’s departure was inevitable, and everyone had to face these issues.

Moreover, even without the eldest and second uncles, the family had Qi Father and the elder brother for support, so it wouldn’t be too bad.

Qi Cheng and Ji Yunhuan returned to Qi Garden. As soon as they got home, Qi Cheng lay down and slept.

Ji Yunhuan stayed by his side, watching him sleep and quietly holding his hand. She knew that in the days following Grandpa’s death, Qi Cheng was very tired.

She looked at him, smiling gently.

It seemed that just watching him made the air around her warm up.

Qi Cheng woke up after a while and saw Ji Yunhuan watching him, "I felt someone staring at me in my dream. You’ve been looking at me for so long. Shouldn’t I charge you a fee?"

"A fee? What kind of fee?" Ji Yunhuan asked with a smile.

Qi Cheng caught her hand and whispered in her ear, "Guess."

"I don’t think there’s anything good in your mind."

"Oh?" Qi Cheng kissed the back of her hand, staring at her intently. His gaze was full of deep affection.

Although he just kissed her hand, it still made Ji Yunhuan feel a bit mushy.

It seemed like she had goosebumps all over her body.

Qi Cheng pulled her into his arms, savoring the peaceful moment.

As they lay there, chatting for a while, Ji Yunhuan’s phone rang.

She looked at the caller ID. It was a number from the domestic line of Su Zi.

"A’Zi."

"Sister Yunhuan." Su Zi’s clean laugh came through, "We just got off the plane. I’m planning to come over and see you. Is it convenient?"
