Chapter 915: Chapter 915: Yun Huan Gets Angry
Cheng Yanxi looked at Qi Cheng and said, "If you like Ji Yunhuan, then I have no reason to stay in the Qi Family. Even though Zhou Yixiu is down on his luck now and doesn’t dare go against the Qi Family anymore, if I’m not by your side, I’m no longer a part of the Qi Family. He can do whatever he wants to me and could easily blame me for all those past incidents."
"No, that won’t happen." Qi Cheng grasped her hand and said, "I’ll always be by your side, protecting you, ensuring you’re not harmed because of me."
Even if he didn’t have romantic feelings for Cheng Yanxi, he still remembered the kindness she had shown him, and thus he couldn’t just stand by indifferently to her.
Seeing how earnest Qi Cheng was, Cheng Yanxi didn’t bother questioning where his heart lay.
As long as he was willing to keep her by his side, she had achieved her goal. After all, she was truly afraid of Zhou Yixiu, afraid that he might suddenly come to torment her. If that happened, she wouldn’t know what to do.
Qi Cheng quickly brought Cheng Yanxi back to the Qi Family. As soon as they got out of the car, they saw Qi Cheng helping Cheng Yanxi out.
Qi Mother looked at Cheng Yanxi in her disheveled state and asked Qi Cheng, "What happened?"
"Let’s talk inside." Qi Cheng assisted Cheng Yanxi into the house, letting her sit on the sofa, and a servant brought Cheng Yanxi a glass of water.
Cheng Yanxi sat next to Qi Cheng, the two of them appearing very close. Ji Yunhuan sat quietly to the side, not showing any displeasure on her face, but inside, she was seething with anger.
For a woman, it’s really hard to tolerate the man she cares most about taking care of another woman like this.
Just now, she had been upstairs venting her emotions for quite some time before she could control herself.
Qi Cheng explained Zhou Yixiu’s intentions to deal with Cheng Yanxi to Qi Mother, who frowned seriously, "This Zhou Yixiu is really too much. It seems the lesson he learned wasn’t enough."
Even with everything that’s happened, he still stirs up trouble.
Cheng Yanxi said to Qi Mother, "He’s targeting me, not Qi Cheng. To him, I’m not part of the Qi Family, so even if you want to help, there’s no justification."
"..." Hearing this, Ji Yunhuan frowned, filled with dislike for Cheng Yanxi. To her, even Cheng Yanxi’s current miserable state seemed like an act, a play staged with Zhou Yixiu.
After all, from Cheng Yanxi’s words, it seemed she really did want something with Qi Cheng.
Ji Yunhuan looked curiously at Cheng Yanxi and asked, "I heard you left the country years ago and never came back. I’m curious, after Qi Cheng was taken by Zhou Yixiu, how did you end up by his side?"
"What do you mean?" Cheng Yanxi glanced sensitively at Ji Yunhuan.
Ji Yunhuan explained, "I’m just wondering if you’re colluding with Zhou Yixiu. After all, it is quite possible, isn’t it?"
"Ji Yunhuan," Cheng Yanxi said sadly, "What do you mean by saying this now? Do you think I’m collaborating with Zhou Yixiu, deliberately seeking sympathy here? Then tell me, what benefit would I get from that?"
"The benefit is that you get to stay by Qi Cheng’s side, isn’t it?" Ji Yunhuan felt she was driven mad with anger; otherwise, she wouldn’t have raised this question.
But the scene before her was just too infuriating. She couldn’t help it.
Because she really didn’t know how long Cheng Yanxi would stay here.
Hearing Ji Yunhuan’s words, Cheng Yanxi stood up, hurt, "Since you dislike me so much, I’ll just leave."
"Yanxi." Qi Cheng grabbed her, stopping her from leaving. He looked at Ji Yunhuan and explained for Cheng Yanxi, "Yanxi wouldn’t do such a thing. She’s saved me many times. She even got injured for me before."
"Her goal was to earn your trust; doing these things is just her duty." Seeing Cheng Yanxi act this way, Ji Yunhuan had stopped believing her act.
It was the same last time, and now again...
Ji Yunhuan truly didn’t believe this woman’s heart could be that fragile.
Ji Yunhuan looked at Cheng Yanxi, "And you say Zhou Yixiu sent people after you? Ha, what kind of person is Zhou Yixiu? If he really wanted to catch you, would he give you a chance to escape, and let you hide all this time? He would’ve found and taken you long ago. You’re just acting pitifully to gain Qi Cheng’s sympathy, right?"
After all, Qi Cheng was out with Ji Yunhuan today, but he suddenly rushed back. Cheng Yanxi felt insecure and did such things to deceive Qi Cheng’s sympathy—it’s possible.
"How can you say that?" Qi Cheng looked at Ji Yunhuan, somewhat unhappily. Although he liked Ji Yunhuan, it didn’t mean his affection would erase his trust in Cheng Yanxi.
Seeing Qi Cheng reproach her for Cheng Yanxi, Ji Yunhuan felt deeply hurt.
She forced herself to say, "I’m just giving my analysis. There are too many suspect points about Ms. Cheng, she shouldn’t even be here."
Qi Cheng may be confused, but it doesn’t mean others won’t be. After all, Qi Cheng has no memory to accurately judge.
Qi Mother looked at Cheng Yanxi but didn’t speak up.
Qi Mother had thought about what Ji Yunhuan said, but without evidence, she didn’t want to suspect Cheng Yanxi.
Qi Cheng knew Ji Yunhuan was upset but still disliked her targeting Cheng Yanxi this way. He looked at Ji Yunhuan and said, "I know what kind of person Yanxi is. Stop saying that."
"What if I insist? As Qi Cheng’s wife, Ji Yunhuan felt she had the right to protest.
Even though she didn’t want to argue with Qi Cheng, she really couldn’t bear Cheng Yanxi pretending like this to deceive Qi Cheng anymore.
If this continues, it’s endless.
"You have no right to meddle in my affairs. It’s my choice who I trust." Qi Cheng, agitated, also spoke harshly.
After all, with what Cheng Yanxi just went through, no matter what others say, Qi Cheng would stand by Cheng Yanxi’s side.
"..." Hearing Qi Cheng’s words, Ji Yunhuan smiled wryly, "Yes, I have no right to meddle in your affairs."
The man who was with her this afternoon now saying she has no right—it really felt ironic.
Qi Mother frowned, "Yunhuan, stop this. Is now really the time to argue over these things?"
Anyway, Cheng Yanxi has been in the house these days.
Especially after she went through such a situation, whether true or false, Qi Cheng chose to believe. How could reasoning with Qi Cheng work now?
Qi Mother disliked the home being filled with disputes over trivial concerns.
She also hoped Ji Yunhuan could be more rational.
After listening to Qi Mother, Ji Yunhuan glanced at Qi Cheng, stood up, and left in a huff.
