Married to My Ex-Fiancé's Cousin-Chapter 844: Helped Them Repay the Loan

In the evening, the family had just finished dinner, and Ji Yunhuan was coaxing Ruirui to sleep when Assistant Gao walked in from outside.

Qi Cheng lazily sat on the sofa, watching Assistant Gao, "How did things go?"

Assistant Gao came over, glanced at Ji Yunhuan, and then said, "I found the loan sharks, but they said someone has already helped pay off the Ji Family’s debt."

"Who paid it?" Upon hearing this, Ji Yunhuan, who had been watching Ruirui, sensitively looked up.

If someone had helped pay, Ji Min wouldn’t have come to her to borrow money and made such a desperate choice.

Assistant Gao said, "I don’t know either. I asked around but couldn’t find out. However, I checked, and it’s definitely not a Ji Family relative. The Ji Family owes over ten million, and with their current connections, there’s simply no one willing to lend them such an amount. The Ji Family originally planned to sell their house to pay off part of it, but because of what happened to Ji Min, this plan was shelved."

Assistant Gao’s words made Ji Yunhuan glance at Qi Cheng.

Someone would actually be so kind to help the Qi Family pay off their debt?

She found it hard to believe.

Qi Cheng listened to Assistant Gao’s words, seemingly in thought.

Ji Yunhuan wanted to hear his opinion, "What do you think?"

"Assistant Gao, go investigate further," Qi Cheng said.

He also found the matter quite odd.

After Assistant Gao left, Ji Yunhuan said to Qi Cheng, "I just feel like this isn’t as simple as it seems."

"What’s the issue?"

Ji Yunhuan said, "I understand Ji Min; although she appears strong on the outside, she’s always been quite timid."

"Really?"

"Yes. If she really had a grudge against me over money, willing to go to such lengths, then over the past two years, she wouldn’t have been so quiet, preferring to borrow from loan sharks rather than appear before me."

Ji Yunhuan recalled Ji Min’s reaction yesterday—she had expected Ji Min’s character to keep pestering her, yet after being rejected, Ji Min left, even threatening to make Ji Yunhuan pay.

This Ji Min seemed different from usual, which always made Ji Yunhuan feel uneasy.

Qi Cheng asked, "So, you mean..."

"I think the person who helped pay off the Ji Family’s debt might have ulterior motives." Ji Yunhuan couldn’t help biting her finger, her expression turning serious.

Qi Cheng understood what Ji Yunhuan meant; Ji Min’s goal was just money.

The Ji Family had already decided to sell their house; they weren’t desperate enough to go to the extent of dying. Since that was the case, Ji Min would never think of doing something as insane as harming Yangyang before getting the money.

Her actions seemed more like she had made a deal with someone, someone who instructed her to do all this.

This truth left Ji Yunhuan feeling quite heartbroken.

She regretted that if she hadn’t been so indifferent, she wouldn’t have given those with ill intentions a chance.

Now, things had developed to this point, and those being punished were those related to her by blood.

While those who truly benefited remain hidden behind...

Thinking about her relatives being used against her made her deeply regretful.

She hated her coldness; why couldn’t she have been a little softer then?

If she had softened, maybe things wouldn’t have turned out this way?

Perhaps when Ji Min came to her, it was to see her reaction?

As this thought emerged in her mind, Ji Yunhuan’s face grew increasingly grim.

Qi Cheng pulled Ji Yunhuan into his arms, "Stop thinking about it."

Ji Yunhuan remained silent, sensing her opponents becoming more formidable.

Qi Cheng could tell what she was thinking from her expression.

"There are only those two who would do such things. They resort to these tactics only because they don’t dare to directly target you." He gently leaned his chin on her head, "Trust me, as long as I’m here, I’ll do everything I can to protect you and the kids."

Ruirui slept peacefully in Ji Yunhuan’s arms.

Ji Yunhuan looked at Qi Cheng, never doubting his words, understanding he truly cared deeply for her and their children.

Ji Yunhuan sighed, "I just regret it. This time, it was my indifference that gave others an opportunity. Although Ji Min’s family and I don’t have a good relationship, even if I helped them, it wouldn’t change anything. Why make them into tools for others to use against me?"

For her now, helping them financially was just a simple matter.

But she... because of petty grudges, she became so indifferent.

And because of this, it led to such a tragic scene.

She disliked Ji Min, but not to the extent of hatred.

The Ji Family was just indifferent towards her, but they would never go to such lengths as outsiders wishing to harm her, that much was certain.

But she never understood this before.

Qi Cheng held Ji Yunhuan’s hand, "Ruirui is asleep, take him to rest!"

Ji Yunhuan looked at the child in her arms, knowing there was no use regretting anymore, and followed Qi Cheng’s advice, carrying Ruirui upstairs.

Because of her guilt over Ji Min’s situation, Ji Yunhuan couldn’t find happiness in the days that followed.

The Ji Family was in a bad state now, and Ji Min’s downfall was a significant blow to them.

If she didn’t do something soon, their lives might become miserable.

So, Ji Yunhuan had people help pay off the rest of their debts and had someone revamp her uncle’s company.

In terms of business, Ji Yunhuan’s uncle was never as talented as her father. Since Mr. Ji’s passing, her uncle’s company had been losing money.

Even when Ji Yunhuan looked at the accounts, she felt quite frustrated.

Yet, she still chose to clean things up for them, trying to settle them down.

In the afternoon, Ji Yunhuan left the company and visited her uncle’s house.

It seemed because of Ji Min’s accident, her uncle and aunt aged significantly overnight. Moreover, they didn’t seem to know the loan shark issue had been resolved.

Ji Yunhuan walked in, and seeing her, her uncle and aunt’s expressions turned cold.

They weren’t welcoming to Ji Yunhuan.

Her aunt asked with hostility, "What are you doing here?"

Ji Yunhuan sat down on the sofa, looking around the living room. Next to her, Ji Xiaoqi also looked at her coldly. In the eyes of all the Ji Family relatives, Ji Yunhuan had evidently become a cold and heartless woman.

Ji Yunhuan didn’t care how they saw her, simply stating, "The loan shark debt has been settled for you; you don’t need to sell the house and can continue living here in the future."
