Married to My Ex-Fiancé's Cousin-Chapter 501: The Best Man in the World_1

Before Ji Yunhuan and the others returned, Lin Xiang had already exaggerated the way Qi Cheng treated her and pushed most of the blame onto Ji Yunhuan, accusing the couple of bullying her.

She was a guest, and naturally, the family should be more polite to her. Qi Cheng’s mother had always been very keen on manners. When she heard Lin Xiang say this, naturally, she sided with her everywhere.

Lin Xiang just wanted to see Ji Yunhuan get scolded. Who knew that as soon as they returned, there wouldn’t even be time to mention how Qi Cheng and his wife bullied her.

Qi Cheng’s mother naturally understood what Lin Xiang meant. She couldn’t help frowning, "You saw how it was just now. Even if I wanted to say something, I couldn’t find the opportunity."

Now was different from before. Qi Cheng and Ji Yunhuan were already together. The marriage agreement with the Lin Family had been pushed off by Grandpa Qi. It wasn’t canceled, just stated that besides Qi Cheng, Lin Xiang could choose any of the single men in the Qi Family.

One had to know, all the men who came out of the Qi Family were top-notch and wouldn’t lose to Qi Cheng by much.

This was because Qi Cheng broke off the engagement, and Lin Xiang’s grandfather once saved Grandpa Qi’s life when he was a bodyguard for him, giving Lin Xiang such preferential treatment. Grandpa Qi giving her face was also not to let both families lose face.

So, no matter whom Lin Xiang chose to marry in the future, it wouldn’t be Qi Cheng.

Qi Cheng had Ji Yunhuan. If she continued to pester Qi Cheng, it was clearly her fault. Qi Cheng giving her some lessons was also appropriate.

But considering she was just a young girl who had held a deep affection for Qi Cheng for so many years, having some emotions was normal.

Qi Cheng’s mother thus went along with her.

But even if she was an elder, she couldn’t be so unreasonable as to go and scold Qi Cheng just for this. At most, she could say a few words, telling Qi Cheng not to be too harsh on Lin Xiang. Refuse, yes, but humiliating her was too much. After all, they might all still be one family in the future.

So, Qi Cheng’s mother didn’t help Lin Xiang much and went upstairs.

Lin Xiang sat on the sofa, her face looking very unpleasant.

Now was not like before. It seemed the Qi family wasn’t as enthusiastic about her anymore.

Did Ji Yunhuan really defeat her?

Second Sister-in-law didn’t hurry to leave. Seeing Lin Xiang looking downcast, she advised, "Actually, you shouldn’t be so anxious. The two of them just got together recently. They’re definitely in the honeymoon phase. Give it some time. They will surely quarrel eventually, and then your chance will come."

Second Sister-in-law had seriously thought it through. As long as Ji Yunhuan was there, Qi Cheng would take her Yangyang. So she wished Ji Yunhuan and Qi Cheng would separate soon.

Lin Xiang didn’t quite believe Second Sister-in-law’s words, "Qi Cheng loves her to death now. How could they be separated?"

"They won’t now, but that doesn’t mean they won’t in the future. You’ve waited for so many years. Can’t you wait a little longer?" Second Sister-in-law glanced at Lin Xiang, thinking she was still too young.

"Really?" Lin Xiang felt Second Sister-in-law didn’t seem to be deceiving her.

Second Sister-in-law said, "Why would I lie to you? Do you think Ji Yunhuan is like you? She has a big temper. Qi Cheng can be willful sometimes. Plus, there’s still Bai Liyan between them. How could they not argue?"

"But Bai Liyan doesn’t seem to have any intention of fighting Qi Cheng for Ji Yunhuan." If he were willing to fight, things would be much simpler. But it seemed he had taken a step back, only protecting Ji Yunhuan without doing anything else, making Lin Xiang feel helpless.

"What does it matter if he does?" Second Sister-in-law’s eyes darkened. She had been in the Qi family for so long and wasn’t naive. If there was no conflict of interest, fine. But if someone grabbed what she wanted, she wouldn’t be soft. Second Sister-in-law said, "There was a time before when Qi Cheng and Ji Yunhuan weren’t together, right?"

"Yes, at that time, they always fought. Ji Yunhuan even said her child was Bai Liyan’s, almost driving Qi Cheng mad." Lin Xiang didn’t understand why Qi Cheng was still obsessed with Ji Yunhuan after such an insult.

Ji Yunhuan was clearly a bad person!

Second Sister-in-law looked at Lin Xiang and said, "If it weren’t for that time, you would’ve had no chance with Qi Cheng."

Second Sister-in-law knew the possible reasons for Qi Cheng and Ji Yunhuan’s separation back then. At that time, Ji Yunhuan had no intention of being with Qi Cheng. She could be swayed by others’ words. But later, she became firm, making it tricky for Second Sister-in-law.

Lin Xiang looked desperate for a moment. Back then, she hadn’t had a chance. Now she had none either. If she hadn’t seen hope back then, she wouldn’t be in such pain now. She truly hated how unfair fate was. What she wanted, she couldn’t get. What she didn’t want, she couldn’t get rid of.

If she and Ji Yunhuan could switch places, how good that would be!

Second Sister-in-law said, "Back then, Qi Cheng believed the child was Bai Liyan’s. We all thought Ji Yunhuan really had a child with Bai Liyan. Qi Cheng’s misunderstanding just proved Ji Yunhuan and Bai Liyan had really slept together. Think about it, can Qi Cheng tolerate a woman who slept with another man?"

Lin Xiang’s eyes widened in shock. That made sense, but, "Qi Cheng is very good to Ji Yunhuan now."

"Now, it’s because Grandpa Qi pushed them so hard that their feelings intensified. But given time, those issues will slowly surface. Qi Cheng isn’t such a tolerant man. He couldn’t even endure his women talking to other men in the past. He owes Ji Yunhuan a lot and loves her madly, which is why he’s acting this way now. But in the future... Every time he sees Bai Liyan, he will think of Ji Yunhuan and Bai Liyan sleeping together. Believe me, no man can tolerate that. By then, they will definitely split."

"Second Sister-in-law, you are so smart." Lin Xiang had to admire Second Sister-in-law.

Second Sister-in-law looked at Lin Xiang helplessly, "You’re just too foolish. What’s the point of constantly trying to perform in front of Qi Cheng every day? Just for him to despise you?"

"But I’m afraid that if I don’t show up, he will forget me even faster."

"You just need to show up at critical moments. Also, don’t always look like you can’t live without him. Men don’t like women who cling to them."

"I understand." Lin Xiang nodded, very grateful for Second Sister-in-law’s advice.

Second Brother came in from outside after work. Seeing Second Sister-in-law still not asleep so late, he greeted Lin Xiang first and then looked at Second Sister-in-law, "What were you talking about with Lin Xiang? Still up so late?"

Second Sister-in-law said, "Nothing, I was just waiting for you to come back. Let’s go to bed. Lin Xiang, you should rest early too."

Second Sister-in-law stood up and took Second Brother’s arm.

Throughout the process, Second Brother looked at Second Sister-in-law tenderly. It was said that until now, Second Brother never had any scandal outside of Second Sister-in-law.

In Lin Xiang’s memory, when she was still a little girl without any worries, Second Brother and Second Sister-in-law were already a pair.

Second Brother always looked after Second Sister-in-law.
