Married to My Ex-Fiancé's Cousin-Chapter 818: The Restaurant’s Surveillance Footage
Though Uncle Bai was still furious, Yun Qinghang was, after all, a son of the Yun Family.
He said to Yun Qinghang, "This has nothing to do with you."
Yun Qinghang held Lin Xiang’s hand and said, "This has a lot to do with me. Because I have decided to marry Lin Xiang. Lin Xiang is my fiancée. If Uncle Bai truly can’t forgive Lin Xiang, I would rather take the punishment on her behalf."
No matter how much trouble Lin Xiang caused, Bai’s father could not possibly beat Yun Qinghang to death out of respect for the Yun Family!
Ji Yunhuan didn’t expect Yun Qinghang to go to such lengths for Lin Xiang. Even though this man’s temper seemed quite bad, he appeared to truly love Lin Xiang. Unlike Zhou Yixiu with Lin Zhenyu, who didn’t consider Lin Zhenyu his wife at all.
Lin Xiang’s parents didn’t expect Yun Qinghang to step out and defend Lin Xiang at this moment. They were quite surprised. After Lin Xiang returned, they knew Lin Xiang was with Yun Qinghang, but given the Lin Family’s status, they thought Yun Qinghang was only playing around with her.
Recently, with Zhou Yixiu being in a slump, they didn’t dare to associate with him, but they didn’t expect Lin Xiang to be so promising...
However, Bai’s father’s expression remained indifferent.
He stared at Lin Xiang, making her feel uneasy. Seizing this opportunity, Lin Xiang quickly opened her mouth, "Uncle, I’m sorry, it really was my fault. I’m willing to apologize to Auntie!"
She thought, no matter what, it’s better to show weakness first.
"If you go to apologize, you’ll only make Auntie more furious!" Ji Yunhuan couldn’t help but interrupt.
So what if Yun Qinghang was protecting Lin Xiang?
Can the things Lin Xiang did be wiped away?
Lin Xiang glanced at Ji Yunhuan with grievance, her tears about to fall, as if Ji Yunhuan was bullying her, "Is this really my fault? After all, it was just a matter between the two of us, it’s you who dragged Auntie into it, which is why things turned out this way. If I had recognized Auntie earlier, I would’ve never offended her."
"..." She was being sophistical, not only exonerating herself but also shifting the blame onto Ji Yunhuan.
Listening to her words and looking at Lin Xiang’s aggrieved face, Ji Yunhuan simply didn’t know what to say.
Lin Xiang looked at Ji Yunhuan with some pride. Hmph, on the way here, she had already thought about how to handle Ji Yunhuan. Now seeing Ji Yunhuan speechless, she was very proud in her heart, but her face still showed an aggrieved look.
Lin Xiang looked at Ji Yunhuan and continued, "Ji Yunhuan, you’re just using Auntie’s favor to bully me. You’re more shameless than I am by far."
"Your ability to reverse right and wrong is quite impressive!" Ji Yunhuan looked at Lin Xiang coldly, "What you did today, even the servants who went along with us saw it clearly. When I was chatting with Auntie, it was you who came up to cause trouble. Do you dare say that’s not true?"
"I..."
Lin Xiang wanted to speak, but Ji Yunhuan interrupted her forcefully, "I already told you, I didn’t want to argue with you today, but you insisted on bothering me. Auntie only made a couple of fair comments, and you splashed coffee on her. Did I wrongly accuse you? Performing here for everyone to see, don’t you feel guilty at all?"
Lin Xiang’s eyes were wet, "I didn’t! Clearly, it’s you..."
"You don’t admit it?" Ji Yunhuan raised an eyebrow, "Then we have no choice but to check the surveillance footage?"
This bitch thought she could get away with it by not admitting it?
Ji Yunhuan found it ridiculous.
Lin Xiang’s acting was good, but wasn’t her intelligence quite lacking?
Upon hearing this, Lin Xiang stiffened instinctively, Yun Qinghang looked at her and noticed her guilty conscience.
Bai’s father called a servant to get the footage, and the moment the servant returned with it, Lin Xiang almost fainted.
She knew that once the footage was shown, she wouldn’t be able to clear her name, and Yun Qinghang would probably hate her too!
After all, she had really gone too far today.
At that time, she didn’t even realize the person chatting with Ji Yunhuan was Aunt Bai!
It just infuriated her.
The servant began playing the footage in the living room.
Lin Xiang watched this scene, feeling cold sweat seeping from her body...
Ji Yunhuan looked at the woman’s guilty demeanor, eyes full of sarcasm.
She really thought she feared nothing!
"Hmm..." The servant’s voice pulled everyone’s thoughts back.
Bai’s father looked at the scene and asked, "What happened?"
"The footage won’t play."
The servant’s words made Lin Xiang’s tightly strung nerves relax. She took a moment to steady herself and smugly looked at Ji Yunhuan, "Is this the evidence you were talking about?"
Ji Yunhuan glanced at the servant still fiddling with the footage, "What on earth happened?"
The servant said, "I don’t know why it just broke."
Ji Yunhuan was livid.
She didn’t expect such a thing to happen now, and she couldn’t believe Lin Xiang was so lucky!
Yun Qinghang, sitting to the side, asked Bai’s father, "The footage is broken, so without evidence, Uncle Bai wouldn’t just assume based on a few people’s words that today’s events were caused by Lin Xiang, right?"
The situation, initially tense, suddenly shifted in their favor, and Lin Xiang sighed heavily in relief.
Taking this chance, she asked Ji Yunhuan, "Ji Yunhuan, are you trying to use Uncle Bai against me by slandering me? Is this how you badmouthed me to Auntie? Otherwise, why would Auntie take your side? Who doesn’t know you’re a bad woman? Haven’t you done enough over the years? You’re clearly with Qi Cheng but went to flirt with Bai Liyan. How could someone as shameless as you still sit in the Bai Family Residence?"
As soon as Lin Xiang finished speaking, the teacup in Qi Cheng’s hand smashed in front of her, splashing some tea onto her leg. Lin Xiang was startled, and Yun Qinghang quickly pulled her to sit on the sofa.
Yun Qinghang looked angrily at Qi Cheng, "You..."
"Keep your woman’s mouth shut!" Qi Cheng glared angrily at Lin Xiang, "Try saying one more word?"
Lin Xiang was thoroughly frightened by Qi Cheng’s rage. When Qi Cheng was silent, his presence faded so much that you’d forget he existed.
But once he spoke, he’d scare you half to death.
Even from this far away, Lin Xiang was shaken by Qi Cheng’s imposing presence, not daring to say a word.
Yun Qinghang wasn’t afraid of Qi Cheng, "You’re threatening her in front of me?"
"So what if I am?" Qi Cheng raised an eyebrow, his cold demeanor showing just how angry he was!
Lin Xiang’s parents and Uncle Bai sat silently without speaking.
Yun Qinghang sat back in his chair, dismissively looking at Qi Cheng, "You’re angry over what Lin Xiang said, yet I haven’t even shown anger for what your woman did. How should we settle the account of Ji Yunhuan bullying Lin Xiang?"
Ji Yunhuan could feel the murderous intent emanating from Yun Qinghang. Provoked by Lin Xiang, this man hated her to the core.

At this moment, the servant’s voice rang out, "Madam, how did you get up?"
