Married to My Ex-Fiancé's Cousin-Chapter 531 She and Bai Liyan’s Photo_1

Bai Liyan said he still needed some time.

After all, this was his first surgery since returning; it was very important to him.

But Zhou Muqing’s condition was quite tricky.

So he needed some time to prepare.

Ji Yunhuan had lunch with him, then went to pick up Yangyang and took him home.

When they arrived home, the Lin sisters were also there.

Lin Xiang had been staying in the hospital these days, and Lin Zhenyu had come to accompany her for a few days. They had only been discharged a couple of days earlier, so they came over.

Seeing those two made Ji Yunhuan feel a headache.

A very annoying feeling.

She always felt that their presence was a sign of trouble.

She didn’t understand how Lin Xiang could still hold out hope for Qi Cheng after all this time.

Ji Yunhuan greeted Qi’s mother and took Yangyang upstairs, away from the place of strife.

She didn’t want to confront the two sisters or have any conflict with them, as she would inevitably end up in trouble. Unless it was absolutely necessary, she wanted to avoid provoking them.

Ji Yunhuan played with the two children upstairs for a while until the servant came up to tell her that the Lin sisters had left. Only then did Ji Yunhuan go downstairs.

She had thought those two women would stay for a long time but was surprised they left so quickly.

Qi’s mother sat on the sofa. When she saw Ji Yunhuan come down, she said, "Come here for a moment."

It seemed like she had something to say. Ji Yunhuan walked over and sat down.

Qi’s mother stared at Ji Yunhuan seriously, with a hint of dissatisfaction in her eyes. These days Ji Yunhuan hadn’t had any conflict with Qi’s mother. When she left in the morning, Qi’s mother had been quite polite to her. Ji Yunhuan guessed that it was the Lin sisters who had said something bad about her to Qi’s mother again.

Qi’s mother asked solemnly, "I heard that you’ve been getting close to Bai Liyan recently?"

Ji Yunhuan paused; she had only seen Bai Liyan twice during this time. She denied it, "No, I haven’t."

"You better not lie to me." Qi’s mother’s stern expression did not ease despite Ji Yunhuan’s denial, as if she already knew all about Ji Yunhuan’s actions.

Ji Yunhuan explained, "Bai Liyan is Qi Cheng’s friend. Even if I met with him, there’s nothing inappropriate about it. Why is Mom suddenly asking about me and Bai Liyan?"

"If there’s nothing between you and Bai Liyan, I have nothing to say. But..."

"I’m completely innocent with Bai Liyan," Ji Yunhuan interrupted Qi’s mother. "Mom, are you suspicious because of something the Lin sisters said?"

"Isn’t there enough history between you and Bai Liyan?" Qi’s mother said. "You two used to be very close. People outside were gossiping that your relationship was unusual. What do you expect me to think?"

"..." Ji Yunhuan had a headache. She had thought that those matters had long been forgotten. She didn’t expect them to be brought up again. She sighed helplessly, "Okay, it’s all my fault. But I can tell you clearly now, there’s nothing between me and him. Is that answer satisfactory to you, Mother?"

"If there’s nothing, why did you meet with him?" In Qi’s mother’s eyes, Ji Yunhuan should not have anything to do with Bai Liyan anymore. "I know Qi Cheng likes you. He considers you more important than his life. Many times, I’ve overlooked things because of him, but could you restrain yourself a bit? There’s already one sister-in-law who has embarrassed the family enough. Do you want to be like her? If you dare to behave like that, even if Qi Cheng can’t bear to, I will still throw you out!"

The sister-in-law went too far, but the Qiao Family and the Qi Family had many ties. The elders wouldn’t easily agree to a divorce between her and the eldest brother due to family relations.

But Ji Yunhuan had nothing except Qi Cheng’s love.

Ji Yunhuan said, "I won’t be like the sister-in-law. You’re overthinking."

"I hope so too, but what about Bai Liyan? Does he have any thoughts about you?" Back then, Bai Liyan had made it clear in front of everyone that he liked Ji Yunhuan. He just didn’t want to compete with Qi Cheng.

But this didn’t change the fact that he had feelings for Ji Yunhuan.

Ji Yunhuan said, "But he never did anything excessive, did he? If something had happened between us, why would you be here scolding me today?" 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

"You’re still not convinced?"

"I just find it laughable that Mother is accusing me because of someone else’s words."

"I’m laughable?" Qi’s mother said angrily, "I just hope that as a mother, you could set an example for the children instead of being so frivolous."

"..." When the word "frivolous" was used against her, Ji Yunhuan couldn’t describe her anger. Instinctively she wanted to retort, but seeing that it was Qi’s mother and remembering that she was Qi Cheng’s mother, she held back. "I’m innocent with Bai Liyan and have a clear conscience."

"Then what are these?" Seeing her unapologetic, Qi’s mother took out a stack of photos and threw them in front of her. "You really don’t shed tears until you see the coffin. I thought at least those who did wrong would feel a bit guilty. How can you be so shameless?"

The photos all showed Ji Yunhuan meeting Bai Liyan. She had only met him twice, but both times had been completely captured.

At the first sight of the photos, Ji Yunhuan had only one thought—someone was stalking her, trying to find faults to cause her trouble?

The Lin sisters had come here today, and the photos were placed before Qi’s mother. It must have been them.

It seemed they really weren’t going to let her off.

"What, no defense now?" The scenes captured in the photos were even more ambiguous than reality. Qi’s mother said, "I’m showing you these photos instead of giving them to Qi Cheng because I don’t want Qi Cheng to be angry with you over this. Qi Cheng loves you. I don’t want to see him heartbroken. But please, for his sake, care for him a little. He almost lost his life in Jiangling for you. How can you bear to betray a man who loves you so much?"

"..." Ji Yunhuan said nothing and didn’t look at Qi’s mother. She didn’t believe she had done anything wrong, but just as Qi’s mother said, if a man loved her so much, couldn’t she endure being scolded by his mother?

Qi’s mother was about to say something more when a servant came in. "Madam, Mr. Qi is back."

In this house, "Mr. Qi" referred to Qi Cheng’s father.

Hearing that Qi’s father had returned, Qi’s mother quickly told Ji Yunhuan to put away the photos and gave her a final warning look before going to welcome Qi’s father.

Ji Yunhuan put the photos away. Qi’s father and Qi’s mother had already come in.

Seeing Qi’s father, Ji Yunhuan greeted politely, "Dad."

Qi’s father nodded at her. Not wanting to disturb them, Ji Yunhuan took the photos and went upstairs.
