Married to My Ex-Fiancé's Cousin-Chapter 829: Maybe This Is for the Best

Because, after today’s events, she understood that the people of the Qi Family would always be her enemies.

She must make sure to exact her revenge properly!

After sitting for a while, Lin Xiang looked at Yun Qinghang and cautiously asked, "My brother-in-law is also here, do you want to meet him?"

"Why would I meet him?" He had no relationship with Lin Xiang’s brother-in-law.

Lin Xiang held Yun Qinghang’s hand and said gently, "He has a grudge against the Qi Family. I thought, why don’t you collaborate with him? If the two of you team up, I guarantee the Qi Family will have a hard time."

Lin Xiang’s words made Yun Qinghang fall into deep thought.

If it were before, Yun Qinghang certainly wouldn’t agree, because he didn’t want to have any dealings with Zhou Yixiu. But now, upon realizing that his second brother was someone Lin Xiang had liked, he couldn’t wait to make the Qi Family disappear from this world.

Thus, after some hesitation, he nodded, "Since it’s your brother-in-law, I’ll meet him."

Seeing him agree, Lin Xiang smiled, hugged Yun Qinghang’s neck, and kissed him on the cheek, "Brother Yun, you’re so good!"

Yun Qinghang’s hand slid under her clothes, "Since you know I’m good, behave a little more in the future."

—

The sky was completely dark. By the hotel’s floor-to-ceiling window, sister-in-law sat in a wheelchair, and second brother looked at her with a face full of guilt, "Shi Xuan."

Sister-in-law didn’t respond.

Second brother held her hand, "Are you mad at me?"

"Mad?"

"The things I said in front of Lin Xiang were to punish her, but I was afraid it might stir up your sad feelings." Besides sister-in-law, second brother also couldn’t forget the matter with Lin Xiang.

If that matter always made sister-in-law sad, it equally made second brother feel guilty and remorseful.

Whenever he saw Lin Xiang, he felt uncomfortable in his heart too.

Sister-in-law could feel second brother’s guilt and remorse. During this time, he had been carefully keeping her, even paying close attention to her emotions.

She said, "I’m not mad."

Second brother tightened his grip on sister-in-law’s hand, squatted in front of her, said nothing, just silently watched their tightly clasped hands.

He couldn’t explain the mistakes he made, and he knew he couldn’t leave this woman.

If he could turn back time, he would trade everything for it.

After a while, Qi Cheng came over and said, "Second brother, Yunhuan and I are heading back now. Are you coming with us?"

Everyone came out to eat together; Ji Yunhuan and Qi Cheng didn’t feel comfortable leaving quietly, so they came to say goodbye.

"You guys go ahead." Second brother wanted to stay here with sister-in-law for a while longer, not wanting to disrupt the current atmosphere.

He realized that, ever since the incident with Lin Xiang, no matter how hard they tried, there was always an indelible distance between them, and it seemed they could never return to how they were before.

Qi Cheng observed the somewhat heavy atmosphere and sensibly said, "Then we’ll head back first."

Ji Yunhuan took the two children outside, and Ruirui clung to her, asking for a hug. Seeing Qi Cheng come out, Ruirui curiously asked, "How are second brother and sister-in-law?"

Ji Yunhuan knew that because of the things second brother said in front of Lin Xiang, sister-in-law was a bit upset.

Even if it were her, if Qi Cheng said such things to another woman, she would feel very sad too!

Though second brother’s intent was merely to deal with that shameless Lin Xiang, who could blame the wound between second brother and sister-in-law?

Actually, this might be for the best; it gives second brother and sister-in-law a chance to sort out their relationship properly.

Qi Cheng and the family went downstairs; the driver was already waiting.

Qi Cheng first lifted the two children into the car, and while lifting Ruirui, he commented, "Ruirui, what have you been eating lately? You’ve gotten heavier."

"I’m not fat!" Ruirui was very sensitive about being called fat, so he instinctively denied it.

Qi Cheng let Ji Yunhuan get in the car first. After she got in, she held Ruirui to check, and while he hadn’t gained much weight, perhaps due to growth, he did seem to have put on some mass.

Qi Cheng sat next to Ji Yunhuan, and Ruirui reiterated, "Daddy, I’m not fat."

This was important to him; it concerned his reputation! 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

"Yes, Ruirui isn’t fat." Seeing him serious about this issue, Ji Yunhuan sided with him and explained, "It’s just that your dad hasn’t carried you for a long time, so you’ve just grown, not gained weight."

"Hmm." Ji Yunhuan’s reassurance made Ruirui feel better, and after receiving her confirmation, his expression softened.

Ji Yunhuan sighed to Qi Cheng, "We’ve been so busy lately and haven’t been around the kids, so it seems like Yangyang and Ruirui have both grown quite a bit recently."

"Did I really grow taller?" Yangyang, unusually interested in the topic, asked.

It seems all boys dream of growing taller!

Ji Yunhuan gently suggested, "Grandma Li has been keeping track of your height. You can ask her to find out if you’ve grown taller."

Only the female housekeeper would be so meticulous.

Taking advantage of this moment, Ruirui complained to Ji Yunhuan, "Mom hasn’t spent time with me lately, and I want to be with Mom."

"Okay, Mom will spend more time with you." Mainly because Ji Yunhuan sometimes returned from work late, and when Yangyang and Ruirui, who had regular bedtimes, were already asleep, she’d leave early in the morning again, making it feel like they hadn’t seen her in a long time.

The atmosphere in the car was warm. With her husband and children by her side, Ji Yunhuan was undoubtedly happy.

She glanced at Qi Cheng and said, "That Lin Xiang is really annoying. Yun Qinghang seemed very angry today; I wonder how he’ll deal with her."

"Don’t worry about her. If she continues, there’s nothing I can do."

Qi Cheng had ways to deal with Lin Xiang. However, because of past mistakes which led to Ji Yunhuan’s parents’ demise, he was more cautious nowadays and was no longer quick to judge someone’s mistake and ruin their life.

Ji Yunhuan said, "Actually, I don’t mind her; she can’t irritate me. I’m just a bit worried about sister-in-law."

Every time she thought of Lin Xiang and second brother’s past, sister-in-law would feel down, while Lin Xiang would always show up to mock her.

Qi Cheng held Ji Yunhuan’s hand, "The doctor said sister-in-law’s health has improved recently; once she recovers, everything will be fine."

Since she’s still not fully recovered, she seems more vulnerable, but once she’s well, let alone letting Lin Xiang bully sister-in-law, it’d be a surprise if Lin Xiang wasn’t bullied herself.

Qi Cheng looked at Ji Yunhuan. He knew she was deeply grateful to sister-in-law, but he couldn’t help but remind her: "Besides, don’t always worry about sister-in-law’s matters. The issues between her and Lin Xiang are of her own doing. If she hadn’t done so many bad things to deal with you, how could she have given Lin Xiang the opportunity?"

Even now, Qi Cheng hasn’t forgotten the times sister-in-law bullied Ji Yunhuan.
