Married to My Ex-Fiancé's Cousin-Chapter 857: Zhou Yixiu’s Predicament

Chapter 857: Chapter 857: Zhou Yixiu’s Predicament
Qi Cheng said, "It’s all in the past, why think about it?"
"If you two really broke off your friendship because of me, I would feel guilty forever."
After all, Bai Liyan and Qi Cheng are definitely not just casual drinking buddies; they grew up together and have a bond as deep as real brothers.
In fact, some real brothers might not be as close as they are.
Qi Cheng listened to Ji Yunhuan’s words, his gaze was very gentle.
If Bai Liyan made him lose Ji Yunhuan, he would hate it, but conversely, he would not hate Ji Yunhuan: "When one gains something, one always loses something at the same time. I’ve done my utmost for Bai Liyan; if at that time he remained stubborn, I wouldn’t have hesitated to lose this friend for you."
"I know you’re good to me." So she is truly grateful to him.
And willing to give everything for him.
Qi Cheng embraced Ji Yunhuan, resting his chin on the top of her head, "Sleep now."
Three months later, Ji Yunhuan and Qi Cheng returned to City A, and Assistant Gao came to pick them up, "Sir."
Seeing Qi Cheng, his face was full of joy.
Ji Yunhuan stood aside and couldn’t help but smile and said, "Assistant Gao."
"Ma’am." Assistant Gao looked at Ji Yunhuan respectfully.
Ji Yunhuan said, "You’re so happy to see Qi Cheng, just like seeing a long-lost lover. Are you secretly in love with Mr. Qi?"
Qi Cheng listened to this and couldn’t help but twitch his mouth, "Ji Yunhuan, are you looking for trouble?"
Assistant Gao knew Ji Yunhuan was making fun of him and remained calm, "Seeing Mr. Qi, of course, I must smile. If I were to cry in front of him, wouldn’t I be waiting to have my salary deducted?"
"Is there good news then?" Ji Yunhuan asked curiously.
Assistant Gao seemed to be in such a good mood.
Assistant Gao smiled without saying a word.
Coming out of the special passage, outside, Assistant Gao inquired of Qi Cheng, "Does sir want to go home first or go to the office?"
"To the office first." Qi Cheng said to Ji Yunhuan, "You take the children and go back first."
"In such a hurry?" Usually, Qi Cheng would take her and the children home first.
Qi Cheng didn’t care how many people were present, he bent down and kissed her, "Be good, listen."
He first sent Ji Yunhuan to the car, and after she left with the two children, Qi Cheng went to the office with Assistant Gao.
In the car, Assistant Gao said to Qi Cheng, "This time Zhou Yixiu suffered a huge loss, almost losing everything."
Qi Cheng looked out the window, his face full of smiles. Although he had calculated all this long ago, seeing someone as shrewd as Zhou Yixiu walk step by step into his trap made Qi Cheng very happy.
He said, "I would really like to see the expression on his face now, what it should look like."
Assistant Gao laughed, "He must be furious."
Precisely because of this, Assistant Gao’s face was full of an uncontrollable smile.
In comparison, Qi Cheng was much calmer, though he was also happy, it was not very obvious.
He destroyed his own Lan Tian to use it as bait for Zhou Yixiu.
However, Zhou Yixiu, with all his calculations, never imagined that all his designs for Lan Tian were being supported by Qi Cheng behind the scenes.
When Qi Cheng arrived at the office, Zhou Jinlian was already there, and as soon as he entered, he heard Zhou Jinlian’s laughter, "Mr. Qi Sr."
Qi Cheng nodded and walked over to sit down.
Zhou Jinlian’s mood seemed evidently good, he looked at Qi Cheng and said, "I saw my brother yesterday."
"Oh really?" Qi Cheng hid his emotions.
Zhou Jinlian said, "Your move was really ruthless. To bring down a big company like Lan Tian alongside him, Mr. Qi Sr.’s courage is extraordinary."
Qi Cheng said, "Thanks for the compliment."
The reason he was so willing was because he didn’t care about these things. On the other hand, Zhou Yixiu cared too much about power.
Moreover, Qi Cheng had been battling in the business world for many years, but Zhou Yixiu only began transitioning into business after being dismissed.
Zhou Yixiu couldn’t gain any advantage from Qi Cheng.
After all, when it comes to making money, Qi Cheng has more experience.
Because of Zhou Yixiu’s misfortune, Zhou Jinlian was in a very good mood, "Let’s have dinner together tonight, I’ll treat you, specially to welcome Mr. Qi Sr. home."
"No need, there are people waiting at home."
"If you don’t mind, Mr. Qi Sr. can bring Mrs. Qi with you." Knowing Qi Cheng spoils Ji Yunhuan, Zhou Jinlian catered to his preference.
Hearing this, Qi Cheng hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "Okay."
"Then it’s settled, I’ll have someone go and prepare." Zhou Jinlian smiled as he walked out the door. Along the way, everyone could hear his laughter.
Usually, when he came to the office, he was very aloof, but this time he took the initiative to greet the secretaries at the door, and everyone felt flattered.
Qi Cheng sat on the sofa, his expression rather somber.
"Sir doesn’t seem very happy."
Qi Cheng said, "Now I’m not worried about Zhou Yixiu. But Zhou Jinlian... keep an eye on him."
"Yes."
Once people gain power, they change, Qi Cheng understood this well, and feared Zhou Jinlian might not recognize him after gaining benefits.

In the evening, Zhou Jinlian looked at Ji Yunhuan beside Qi Cheng and said flatteringly, "Good evening, sister-in-law."
In fact, Qi Cheng was a bit younger than Zhou Jinlian, so him calling Qi Cheng brother and Ji Yunhuan sister-in-law showed a bit of respect.
In a good mood, Zhou Jinlian rented out the villa hotel known as the "Golden House" as the venue for the banquet tonight. The scene was well arranged, and many people attended, with many celebrities and famous people invited by Zhou Jinlian.
Meanwhile, his companion was the hottest model recently.
Ji Yunhuan was a bit flattered by his respectful attitude, "Mr. Zhou, you’re too kind."
From Zhou Jinlian’s reaction, it was clear how much Qi Cheng had helped him this time.
"Not at all, not at all." Zhou Jinlian said, "It’s truly my honor that Mr. Qi Sr. and Mrs. Qi grace us with their presence here."
Zhou Yixiu now appeared as wretched as can be.
And all of this was naturally thanks to Qi Cheng.
Hearing Zhou Jinlian’s words, Qi Cheng calmly said, "You overstate it."
While Qi Cheng and Zhou Jinlian were talking, someone suddenly walked over, "Qi Cheng."
Ji Yunhuan looked towards the voice and saw Xia Duo appear here.
This woman...
Zhou Jinlian looked at Xia Duo with a face full of flattery, "Step-mom."
"I told you not to call me that in public." Xia Duo said in a coquettish tone.
Zhou Jinlian quickly corrected himself, "I forgot, I should call you Ms. Xia."
Xia Duo laughed lightly, her gaze turning to Ji Yunhuan and Qi Cheng...
The moment Xia Duo appeared, all the anger within Ji Yunhuan exploded.
Xia Duo, however, seemed completely oblivious as she looked at Ji Yunhuan, "Mrs. Qi, long time no see, you seem even more beautiful."
As soon as she saw Xia Duo’s innocent facade, Ji Yunhuan wanted to tear this woman apart.
