Married to My Ex-Fiancé's Cousin-Chapter 865: An Unexpected Encounter at the Doorstep
"The second sister-in-law’s leg isn’t good, maybe her mood isn’t either, how could I possibly argue with a cripple?" Lin Xiang’s gaze swept disdainfully over the second sister-in-law’s leg.
The second sister-in-law couldn’t help but grit her teeth, really wanting to kill this little wench.
"You think with Qi Ling backing you, I wouldn’t dare to deal with you?"
"I didn’t think that at all, second sister-in-law can totally deal with me! You could even have someone kick me out." Lin Xiang replied indifferently, her mouth twisting arrogantly.
Ji Yunhuan sat there, watching the scene, not saying a word.
Not long after, Qi Ling arrived, still with Mother Qi.
Lin Xiang behaved herself, seeing Mother Qi, not caring about how badly she’d been scolded by her in the past, she stood up politely and greeted Mother Qi, "Auntie."
"..." Before Mother Qi could speak, Lin Xiang continued, "I heard Qi Ling was coming, so I thought I’d tag along and see, haven’t seen Auntie in a while, I even brought some gifts for you."
Her obedient demeanor made Ji Yunhuan feel like he was caught in a time warp.
As if returning to the times when Lin Xiang was favored in the Qi Family, she was also this fawning, buttering up every day.
Ji Yunhuan couldn’t help but exchange a look with the second sister-in-law, who was equally speechless.
Lin Xiang was utterly oblivious.
An actress is an actress.
To perform so naturally in this situation, one can’t help but be impressed with her.
Although Mother Qi didn’t like Lin Xiang, the second sister-in-law’s matter had long since passed.
Plus, out of respect for Qi Ling, Mother Qi didn’t say much, "No need to be so formal."
"It’s necessary." Lin Xiang replied sweetly.
Ji Yunhuan only felt goosebumps all over, not even knowing what to say.
Qi Ling glanced at Lin Xiang, unable to hold back a bit of confusion, since when did Lin Xiang have such a good relationship with the Qi Family again?
Qi Ling said, "In that case, I’ll head out first."
"Stay for dinner!" To Qi Ling, Mother Qi was still very courteous.
In their eyes, Qi Ling represents not just himself, but partly grandfather’s connections too.
Because in the past, Qi Ling stayed by grandfather’s side the longest and was one of grandfather’s most cherished children.
Upon hearing Qi Ling was leaving, Lin Xiang didn’t stay either, saying to Qi Ling, "I’m leaving with you."
Qi Ling naturally couldn’t say no.
Otherwise, if Lin Xiang started crying, it would be endless.
He hated women crying in front of him!
After Lin Xiang and Qi Ling both left, the second sister-in-law frowned tightly, her hands clenched together, watching the direction they left, feeling a breath stuck in her throat.
Ji Yunhuan looked at the second sister-in-law, unable to keep from chuckling, "Don’t be upset, second sister-in-law, it’s not worth it because of someone like Lin Xiang."
Mother Qi sat down, "What did she come here for today?"
"Probably wanted to show off how close she is to Qi Ling!" Ji Yunhuan recounted what had just happened, "Lin Xiang is honestly too arrogant. She even keeps calling second sister-in-law a cripple."
"It’s alright, I don’t mind." The second sister-in-law laughed, "One day, I’ll find the opportunity to deal with her."
Mother Qi sighed, "She seems to be quite close to Qi Ling."
"Do you think Qi Ling has taken a fancy to Lin Xiang?" Ji Yunhuan asked suspiciously.
"So what if he has? Could he marry her?" The second sister-in-law said, "Do you think, given the personalities of your second uncle and aunt, Lin Xiang stands a chance?"
"That might not be certain." Ever since Yun Qinghang loved Lin Xiang so passionately, Ji Yunhuan had started to doubt the world.
Even things she thought were impossible might happen.
The second sister-in-law said, "You’re just overthinking it."
Besides, how could she give someone like Lin Xiang such an opportunity?
Previously, she had no interest in dealing with Lin Xiang, but now the second sister-in-law very much wanted to handle this wretched woman Lin Xiang.
"Hopefully! Otherwise, she’d really infuriate me to death." Ji Yunhuan didn’t hope Qi Ling would become someone who couldn’t distinguish right from wrong like Yun Qinghang.
"Qi Ling is a good kid." Even the second sister-in-law agreed on this point.
Mother Qi rarely said, "He advised me a lot, hoping we wouldn’t argue with your second uncle and them. This kid really is quite good, grandfather taught him well."
From a very young age, Qi Ling had stayed by grandfather’s side; you could say he was brought up not by his parents but by grandfather.
...
Lin Xiang followed Qi Ling back to C City together, as they deplaned, Qi Ling said, "You can go home yourself! Did you call your family to have them pick you up?"
"No." Lin Xiang said, "I forgot."
Of course, she hadn’t forgotten, but if she called someone to pick her up, how could Qi Ling end up driving her?
So, she had planned it all out beforehand.
Qi Ling looked at Lin Xiang and sighed, "How can someone your age not have made any progress?"
"Yes, I haven’t progressed, you have; if everyone were as smart as you, what would be left for you?" Lin Xiang pouted.
"Whatever." Qi Ling walked out of the airport, the person picking him up already waiting outside. He had someone put Lin Xiang’s luggage in the car and let Lin Xiang get in as well, making her quite comfortable.
Qi Ling stood outside, telling the driver, "Send Ms. Lin home."
"Yes." The driver obediently drove off, Lin Xiang seeing Qi Ling standing outside the window, not planning to accompany her, felt quite frustrated, almost wanting to swear, but she had to hold it in.
It’s okay; she refused to believe she wouldn’t have a chance.
Even Yun Qinghang could be managed, she refused to believe she couldn’t manage one Qi Ling.
After all, she thought she understood Qi Ling quite well.
At night, Qi Ling just got home when he heard the servant say, "Young Master, a lady named Lin just called you."
"What’d she call for?" No need to think, Qi Ling could guess the woman’s identity; there wouldn’t be anyone other than Lin Xiang.
Although he’d always thought he was overthinking, now, it seemed he hadn’t; Lin Xiang seemed to have a thing for him!
Since long ago, having known Lin Xiang so long, she had never clung to Qi Ling like she was now, Qi Ling had only seen Lin Xiang clinging to the second brother.
This woman’s clinginess was not ordinary.
The servant said, "She asked if you were home yet, said she had something to discuss with you."
Qi Ling sighed, "I know."
He went upstairs, showered, slept, and didn’t bother with Lin Xiang.
Although he wasn’t cold to Lin Xiang, it didn’t mean he’d like a woman like that.
Whenever he saw Lin Xiang, he’d remember her arrogantly liking the second brother before, thinking she was the queen under grandfather’s favor.
But the next morning, as Qi Ling was heading out, he ran into Lin Xiang.
Today she was dressed beautifully, sexy yet carrying innocence, it was undeniable that no matter how rotten her heart, she remained persistently beautiful over the years.
"What a coincidence! Running into you again here." Lin Xiang greeted Qi Ling proactively.
Qi Ling twitched his lips, coincidentally meeting her at his doorstep, "Yeah! Quite a coincidence, but I have work today, got to go do my thing, won’t be keeping you company."
