Married to My Ex-Fiancé's Cousin-Chapter 31 Gu Yubai’s Apology_1

"You going to the hospital later?"

"There’s nothing else to do anyway, so I thought I’d go check on him. I haven’t spent enough time with him before."

And she also wanted to see how Mrs. Gu was considering things.

Just then, her phone rang. freёnovelkiss.com

"I need to take this call."

She pulled out her phone and saw it was from the hospital. She quickly picked up.

"Miss Ji Yunhuan, your brother sneaked out of the ward." It was a nurse from the hospital.

"What did you say?" Ji Yunhuan got anxious, and her voice raised a few notches.

She rarely got this agitated. Qi Cheng couldn’t help but glance at her.

Seeing she hung up the phone, he couldn’t help but ask, "What happened?"

"I need to go out for a bit."

"Breakfast can wait?"

"Chen ran out of the ward. I need to check on him." Given his condition, anything could happen if he left the ward.

"I’ll go with you!"

Qi Cheng also stood up, grabbed his keys, and followed Ji Yunhuan.

He personally drove her to the hospital.

In the car, Ji Yunhuan remained silent the entire time. Her brother was her only family. He was her life!

When they arrived at the hospital, the nurse who had called her met them at the entrance, saying that Ji Chen had been taken to the emergency room.

Ji Yunhuan’s face turned even colder. "What exactly happened?"

"We just stepped out for a moment, and he sneaked out. He’s not usually like this. Who knew..."

"Don’t give me excuses. I pay you guys so much every month, and this is how you do your job?" By now, Ji Yunhuan felt like punching someone.

If anything happened to her brother, she had no doubt she would hold the nurse accountable for everything.

But...

Chen was always well-behaved. He never wandered out of the ward.

Because he knew Ji Yunhuan valued him, bore great financial pressure for him, and didn’t want to let her down.

Sometimes when he missed her too much, he would call her but wouldn’t run out to see her.

But this time...

"What exactly happened?" Ji Yunhuan asked on the way to the emergency room.

The nurse replied, "After he sneaked out, he went to see Mr. Gu Yubai’s ward."

"Gu Yubai? Why did he go to see Gu Yubai? Where is he now?" Following the nurse, Ji Yunhuan couldn’t help but feel uneasy upon hearing Gu Yubai’s name.

"He accidentally overheard our conversation yesterday and found out you got slapped by Mrs. Gu. So he went to confront the Gu Family."

"So it was you who leaked it?" Ji Yunhuan’s freshly suppressed anger flared up again.

She stopped in her tracks and, as the nurse turned around, slapped her right across the face.

The nurse seemed utterly stunned. She had never expected the usually gentle Ji Yunhuan to turn violent.

She didn’t know that Ji Yunhuan was usually soft-spoken to the hospital staff because she worried they wouldn’t take good care of Chen when she wasn’t around. So, she tried to build a good relationship with them. Who knew...

Covering her face, the nurse didn’t dare protest since it was indeed her negligence.

Qi Cheng, standing by, looked at Ji Yunhuan, knowing she was truly furious. He grabbed her hand. "Let’s go see Chen first."

When they reached the emergency room with the nurse, the light was on.

At the door, Gu Yubai and Gu Xinran were both waiting. Gu Yubai was heavily injured, sitting in a wheelchair. Their relationship with Chen had been good before, and worried, he dragged himself over.

But in Gu Yubai’s eyes, he was just a culprit trying to atone for his sins.

Ji Yunhuan’s appearance made him lift his head.

When they arrived, the nurse had already told Ji Yunhuan what happened in Gu Yubai’s ward: Chen, after knowing Mrs. Gu had slapped his sister, went to seek justice. He couldn’t stand seeing his sister wronged, and Ji Yunhuan knew that.

So, even though things weren’t going well with the Gu Family, she hadn’t wanted to tell Chen. But the nurse’s big mouth had let it slip.

After he went to the ward, the Gu Family’s cold sarcasm greeted him, saying things like Ji Yunhuan didn’t deserve Gu Yubai and was a slut seducing Qi Cheng...

So, that was what had provoked Chen.

Chen’s heart was already weak. Ji Yunhuan didn’t dare let him leave the ward and wanted him to rest peacefully in the hospital.

Ji Yunhuan walked to Gu Yubai, her delicate face full of anger.

Even someone like Gu Xinran, who never liked Ji Yunhuan, couldn’t help but feel a pang of guilt.

"Yunhuan..." Gu Yubai spoke first, facing Ji Yunhuan’s rage.

He knew she would be angry. Chen was more important to her than her own life.

Ji Yunhuan raised her hand and slapped him right across the face.

The medical staff nearby were stunned. Though they knew she was Gu Yubai’s fiancée, to hit him in public was a bit too much!

Seeing her brother getting hit, Gu Xinran angrily retorted, "Ji Yunhuan, how dare you hit my brother!"

Ji Yunhuan’s cold, sharp eyes swept past Gu Xinran. "If anything happens to Chen, I won’t just hit him."

She looked at Gu Yubai, feeling utterly disappointed. The anger in her eyes slowly turned into pain. "Even if you don’t consider my feelings, even if you’ve turned against me, even if you think I’m unworthy of being your fiancée, what did Chen do wrong? You know his situation best. Even if he came to argue with you first, he’s just a child. Did you really need to team up with your family to deal with him like this?"

She thought that even if he loved someone else, thought she wasn’t worthy to be with him, he at least wasn’t this ungrateful. After all, during her and Chen’s hardest times, Gu Yubai had always been by her side.

But... but...

She thought she had lost all expectations for this man but realized now, deep down, she still hoped Gu Yubai would stand by her.

Even if they couldn’t be a couple, they had years of friendship, didn’t they?

"Yunhuan..." Gu Yubai was stunned by the pain in her eyes. She was always strong and never showed weakness before him. Even when she saw him with Ouyang Fei, she was angry but never showed any heartbreak over his departure.

This time, he truly let her down.

He looked at Ji Yunhuan, and Ji Yunhuan looked back at him. In her eyes, he saw moments from their past life together.

He had wanted to explain, but in the end, he just compromised and said, "I’m sorry."

Though he hadn’t participated when Mrs. Gu and Gu Xinran spoke of Chen, he hadn’t stopped them either.

In his heart, he had hoped Chen’s opinion might change Ji Yunhuan’s decision, but...

At this moment, he suddenly felt less than human.
