Married to My Ex-Fiancé's Cousin-Chapter 476: Qi Cheng’s Favoritism (Part 1)
Chapter 476: Chapter 476: Qi Cheng’s Favoritism (Part 1)
Although Lin Zhenyu was a guest of the Qi Family and Grandpa Qi was biased towards the two sisters, it wasn’t her who hit them. Surely Grandpa Qi wouldn’t really do anything to her!
Aunt Liu, hearing this, showed a hint of joy on her face. "Thank you, Madam."
As a servant, she had seen many faces and often had to endure grievances. Normally, in situations like today, she would have swallowed her pride. No one cared about her feelings.
Not only did Ji Yunhuan let her vent, but she also promised to help her in her old age. She felt incredibly grateful.
"There’s no need to thank me. It’s I who should be thanking you." Aunt Liu had been targeted by Lin Zhenyu today in defense of her. Glancing at the two sisters who had already walked away, Ji Yunhuan felt like she was witnessing the calm before the storm.
She said to Aunt Liu, "Let’s go back."
In the afternoon, when Qi Cheng and Qi Ling had just returned, Songbai told them that Ji Yunhuan had hit Lin Zhenyu. Lin Zhenyu was very angry and had already informed Grandpa Qi about the matter.
Qi Ling, listening on the side, couldn’t help but exclaim, "Brother, Sister-in-law is so bold! That’s Madam Zhou. Even I wouldn’t dare to provoke her."
Hearing that Lin Xiang and Lin Zhenyu were still around, Qi Cheng gave up the idea of entering the living room and returned to the house where he and Ji Yunhuan lived.
As the sun set in the west, Ji Yunhuan stood by the window, admiring the scenery. Aunt Liu’s voice sounded beside her, "Sir."
Ji Yunhuan turned her head and saw Qi Cheng striding towards her. He grabbed her arms and looked her over.
"I heard I hit Ms. Lin. Are you angry?" His serious face made it hard to think otherwise.
"I am angry," Qi Cheng said. "But not at you, at that woman."
Ji Yunhuan laughed. "Why are you angry at her?"
"Did she do anything to you?" Ji Yunhuan wasn’t foolish enough to provoke Lin Zhenyu deliberately.
So when Qi Cheng heard that Ji Yunhuan had hit Lin Zhenyu, his first worry was that something had happened to her.
Ji Yunhuan said, "I’m fine!"
Seeing Qi Cheng’s tense face, she knew he was concerned about her. Ji Yunhuan said, "Clearly, I hit someone else, and you’re worried about me?"
How adorable and touching he was.
Hitting others was one thing. But this was Lin Zhenyu, Zhou Yixiu’s wife. In C City, there weren’t many who dared to hit Madam Zhou. She had caused him a lot of trouble.
Qi Cheng said, "Next time I’m not around, don’t act rashly."
"Why?" Ji Yunhuan asked. "Are you afraid I’ll cause you trouble?"
"No." He looked at her seriously. "If you act while I’m here, it’ll be safer."
"..." His words made Ji Yunhuan laugh. "Qi Cheng, you’re so adorable."
"..." His face remained serious.
Ji Yunhuan covered her mouth. She forgot Qi Cheng didn’t like being called adorable in front of others.
"You may go," Ji Yunhuan told Aunt Liu.
Aunt Liu nodded.
Qi Cheng glanced at Aunt Liu, not missing the mark on her face.
He looked at Ji Yunhuan. "What’s going on?"
Ji Yunhuan recalled the day’s events and worriedly said, "Qi Cheng, I might have caused you trouble."
"..."
Ji Yunhuan recounted the events to Qi Cheng...
"I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have been so impulsive, but I couldn’t hold it in. They said the child isn’t mine and deliberately slandered Aunt Liu. Aunt Liu came here with me and has taken care of me for so long. I couldn’t hold back... Given Lin Zhenyu’s personality, she won’t let this go lightly. Grandpa will definitely be furious!" fгeewebnovёl.com
"It’s fine," Qi Cheng said. "Even Grandpa has to be reasonable. You’re my person. Whoever dares to bully you is bullying me!"
With Qi Cheng protecting her, Ji Yunhuan was happy, but she was still worried about causing him trouble. "Even if Grandpa is reasonable... What about Zhou Yixiu? Will he just let it go after his wife was hit?"
"Are you scared?" Qi Cheng looked at her.
Ji Yunhuan said, "I’m just worried about the aftermath."
If not for that, she wouldn’t be afraid. She hadn’t feared anyone!
"Then don’t worry," Qi Cheng said. "She took advantage of my absence to bully you. A slap is already being lenient."
Seeing he wasn’t blaming her, Ji Yunhuan said, "I didn’t hit her. Aunt Liu did. But it probably means Aunt Liu will lose her job."
"Aunt Liu did well." If it had been another servant, they might not have dared to provoke the two Lin sisters. How would anyone have helped Ji Yunhuan?
Ji Yunhuan said, "You just got back. Aren’t you tired?"
"Not tired."
Qi Cheng walked to a nearby sofa and sat down. Ji Yunhuan followed and sat on his lap.
They hadn’t talked for long before a servant came to invite them to dinner. Everyone was busy during the day, so meals were usually informal. But as long as Grandpa was home, everyone had to come for dinner.
Ji Yunhuan glanced at Qi Cheng, guessing that Grandpa would bring up what happened during the day.
Handing the child to the nanny, Ji Yunhuan and Qi Cheng went to dinner together.
Sure enough, besides Grandpa, the Lin sisters were at the table. Qi Ling, who had returned with Qi Cheng, was also there.
Ji Yunhuan and Qi Cheng sat down in the prepared chairs.
"Let’s eat."
As Grandpa spoke, everyone picked up their chopsticks.
Ji Yunhuan had just started eating when Grandpa said, "I heard from the servants that Yunhuan hit Zhenyu today?"
Ji Yunhuan glanced at Lin Zhenyu, knowing the sisters had probably told him this themselves. The other servants had no reason to inform Grandpa Qi.
Ji Yunhuan calmly said, "No."
Lin Zhenyu, still angry, sneered. "No? You’re still denying it now? Do you think acting innocent will help? So many eyes were watching."
"If Ms. Lin says so many eyes were watching, I’d like to know what everyone saw."
She was so calm, not at all guilty.
Grandpa directly called over two servants who were present and asked, "What did you see today? Tell me everything."
Ji Yunhuan was right. Lin Zhenyu had recounted the events, and Grandpa hadn’t questioned the servants.
Now that Ji Yunhuan brought it up, giving her face, he summoned the servants.
In this household, the servants dared not defy Grandpa. Naturally, they wouldn’t favor the Lin sisters. They could only speak honestly. "This afternoon, Ms. Ji was with Aunt Liu and the child in the garden, sunbathing. The two Ms. Lins came and spoke for a while before arguing... In the end, Aunt Liu slapped Ms. Lin."
