Married to My Ex-Fiancé's Cousin-Chapter 903: Mrs. Qi Is Very Angry

Chapter 903: Chapter 903: Mrs. Qi Is Very Angry
Zhou Jilin was quite fond of Xia Duo, especially since she had been by his side during his illness these past few days. Consequently, their bond deepened. Compared to Zhou Yixiu, who only knew how to cause him trouble and headaches outside every day, Zhou Jilin naturally chose to side with Xia Duo.
Seeing Zhou Yixiu still unfriendly towards Xia Duo, Zhou Jilin said, "Your stepmother is concerned about you; what kind of attitude is this?"
"Dad." Zhou Yixiu was somewhat displeased, "You’ve gotten senile, why do you just believe this woman’s words? Do you think she really cares about me? Don’t you know that she used to have a thing with Qi Cheng, and now she’s worried for Qi Cheng, not because she cares about me?"
As he spoke, Zhou Yixiu glanced coldly at Xia Duo.
He knew Xia Duo had recently been close to Zhou Jinlian, and he also noticed his father’s attitude towards him had clearly changed, easily guessing that Xia Duo, this vile woman, had meddled.
Xia Duo listened to Zhou Yixiu’s words, but she wasn’t in a hurry...
Because Zhou Jilin already knew about these things.
After all, Zhou Jilin liked her youthful body and didn’t care about how many women he’d been with before.
The key was during the days Zhou Jilin was sick, Xia Duo acted coquettishly and said she wouldn’t have a good life after he’s gone.
Zhou Jilin repeatedly promised her that he wouldn’t let such things happen, and sure enough, Zhou Yixiu happened to run into this exact situation.
Zhou Jilin always doted on Xia Duo, almost giving her whatever she wanted, and hoped the Zhou brothers could be nicer to Xia Duo.
Previously, Zhou Yixiu was indifferent to Xia Duo, and Zhou Jilin didn’t care much, but after his illness, he realized Xia Duo’s importance even more, becoming more partial to her.
He looked at Zhou Yixiu, "Didn’t I teach you since you were young to respect your elders and love your juniors? Is this how you talk to your stepmother?"
"..." In the past, saying a few bad words about Xia Duo was no big deal at all.
How could Zhou Yixiu expect to be scolded by the old man this time?
And it was all because of Xia Duo, this vile woman.
Zhou Yixiu glanced at Xia Duo.
Xia Duo also looked back at Zhou Yixiu smugly.
Although Xia Duo was somewhat angry about Zhou Yixiu kidnapping Qi Cheng.
She looked at Zhou Yixiu and said to the old man, "Don’t blame him, anyway, he’s never liked me, I’m used to it. It’s just a small matter to me."
Zhou Jilin took this opportunity to reprimand, "See? Your stepmother is still speaking up for you! Don’t ever let me see you disrespect her again."
"..." At this moment, how could Zhou Yixiu dare to rebut?
In this family, his father was his only spiritual support.
Now Zhou Jinlian, along with everyone else, was eager to bring him down.
At this point, if he offended his father further, he would lose his last support.
That’s how people are; when you walk a certain path, it’s not easy to stop even if you want to.
If he fell, how the Qi Family would deal with him was unknown!
So, for now, he had to maintain his status.
Xia Duo sat beside, watching the scene unfold.
Ji Yunhuan and Qi’s mother observed the drama unfold beside them, thinking it would be a waste not to watch. Though they didn’t like either side, seeing them quarrel was indeed somewhat entertaining.
Qi’s mother said, "Now that your family matters are finished, shall we discuss Qi Cheng’s matters?"
Zhou Yixiu glanced at Qi’s mother, just about to speak, when Xia Duo interrupted, "If Yixiu really did such a thing, he should apologize to Mrs. Qi. I believe Mrs. Qi, being magnanimous, would surely forgive you."
"..." Zhou Yixiu felt the fire within him burning intensely.
But he restrained himself from an outburst.
He simply looked at Qi’s mother and said, "Indeed, Qi Cheng was with me before, but there are doctors who can testify. When I found Qi Cheng, he was already badly injured. During this time, I spared no effort finding doctors to help save him. I don’t think I’ve done anything to wrong Qi Cheng. If Mrs. Qi wants to give me trouble, then I have no choice. But I... have a clear conscience."
What he was saying was true—Qi Cheng was seriously injured when he took him away; it was his efforts saving Qi Cheng that he survived until now...
Of course, he didn’t mention that the whole terrifying event was orchestrated by him.
It was obvious that Qi’s mother didn’t believe, "You have a clear conscience?"
"What else? Aunt Qi shouldn’t think everything was done by me, should she? My grievances with Qi Cheng are not a matter of one or two days; I didn’t gain anything from him. If I hadn’t saved him this time, he would be dead."
Zhou Yixiu continued, "I’ve done so much, yet Aunt Qi thinks it’s not enough? If that’s so, then next time... perhaps you won’t even get the chance to see Qi Cheng!"
The underlying threat in his words was evident.
Zhou Jilin heard this and frowned, angrily looking at his son, "Zhou Yixiu!"
How could he say such things in front of Qi’s mother!
No matter how hard it was to endure, he should have endured this moment.
Now he practically admitted his connection to Qi Cheng’s matter, didn’t he?
Zhou Yixiu stood up, "It seems there’s nothing more to say, I’m leaving."
He strode out the door without any intention to continue being humiliated here.
After Zhou Yixiu left, Qi’s mother looked at Zhou Jilin, "Mr. Zhou, is this how you teach your son? Truly a well-taught son."
Zhou Jilin said, "He’s been emotionally unstable recently, Mrs. Qi, please don’t take it to heart."
"I came here today to inform you that our cooperation ends here. Any future matters relating to the Zhou Family, our family will not be involved."
Zhou Jilin frowned, "We’ve known each other for so many years, why let a trivial matter affect us so greatly? As I said, it’s just a scuffle between children. I understand, Yixiu’s attitude just now angered you. It’s alright, I’ll have him personally visit to apologize."
"No need." Qi’s mother said coldly, "From today onwards, the Qi Family will completely sever ties with your family."
"Mrs. Qi, you must know, this loss doesn’t only affect me..."
"Even now, do you think I still care about these things? As a mother, if I can’t even protect my own son, what use is all my riches? It’s clear that Qi’s mother was truly hurt by this matter, which is why she made such an irrational decision."
At least from the moment they left the Zhou household, Ji Yunhuan knew Zhou Jilin’s expression was very unpleasant.
By doing so, Qi’s mother not only ruined the interests of the Qi family but also theirs...
Because they came to C City, upon leaving the Zhou household, Qi’s mother took the opportunity to visit the place where Grandfather used to live. Ji Yunhuan followed her inside, where her aunt greeted them, "Why have you come over?"
