Married to My Ex-Fiancé's Cousin-Chapter 538: Big Brother is Very Disappointed_1

The banquet had ended. The Qi Family sat in the living room, and everyone’s expressions were complex and intriguing.

Second Sister-in-law sat aside, her face visibly swollen from Ji Yunhuan’s slap. Second Brother applied medicine for her while Qi’s mother looked at her with concern. "Shi Xuan, what happened?"

"It’s nothing. I just said a few words to Yunhuan, and she slapped me."

Upon hearing this, Qi Cheng gave his sister-in-law a cold glance. Meeting his gaze, she couldn’t help but avert her eyes.

Qi’s mother looked at Qi Cheng, nearly driven mad by Ji Yunhuan. "Look at your wife. I always told you not to be with her, didn’t I? She caused such a scene today, made your father lose face, and now she ran off with Bai Liyan."

"I told her to leave." Qi Cheng said, "Yunhuan and I will move out. This place is not suitable for us."

"Qi Cheng, you’re simply unreasonable, still defending her even now." Qi’s mother said angrily, "She’s so entangled with Bai Liyan, and you can tolerate it? I truly admire you."

"There’s nothing between her and Bai Liyan." Qi Cheng’s eyes were ice-cold as he spoke, staring intently at his sister-in-law.

"The evidence is right there. How can you say there’s nothing?" The photos were still on the coffee table.

Qi’s mother felt a splitting headache seeing Qi Cheng so stubborn. "If it weren’t for you spoiling Ji Yunhuan, would she dare be so arrogant? Not to mention doing something wrong, she even hit your sister-in-law. What did she do wrong?"

"I already told you, she didn’t!" Qi Cheng stood up in a rage, grabbing the photos and heading upstairs. Yangyang and Leilei were playing upstairs. Qi Cheng opened the door and said to Yangyang, "Yangyang, come out."

Yangyang stood up, confused, and walked towards Qi Cheng. "What for?"

Qi Cheng picked him up without explaining where they were going. Qi’s mother, who had followed them upstairs, asked, "Where are you taking Yangyang?"

"I said we’re just moving out." Qi Cheng glanced at his mother, "Don’t worry, I just don’t want to live here, it’s not like I’m severing ties with you."

Qi’s mother was genuinely afraid he’d act rashly. Last time, when pushed too hard, he had run off to Jiangling with Ji Yunhuan, and ended up seriously ill. She still felt a lingering fear thinking about it now.

Qi’s mother said, "Qi Cheng, Mom is saying this because I don’t want you to suffer. If Ji Yunhuan truly doesn’t love you, don’t insist. We Qi Family men don’t need to beg a woman."

"If that were true, I would naturally let her go, but Yunhuan is just a victim. Can’t you see someone wants to separate us?" Qi Cheng’s eyes were icy cold, making Qi’s mother fall silent.

Qi Cheng carried Yangyang downstairs. Just as they entered the courtyard, they were stopped by his sister-in-law. She looked at Qi Cheng, "Are you taking Yangyang?"

Qi Cheng gave her a cold glance without speaking.

"Qi Cheng." She said, "Leave Yangyang here. You both can’t take good care of him."

"He’s my own son, why can’t I care for him?" Qi Cheng dismissed her coldly. His sister-in-law’s face still bore the mark of Yunhuan’s slap. Second Brother stood beside her, defending her. Qi Cheng said coldly, "You should know why Yunhuan hit you, no need for me to say. You should be thankful for raising Yangyang all these years!"

If it weren’t for that, he wouldn’t have let her off so easily today.

After speaking, Qi Cheng put Yangyang into the car. His sister-in-law stood aside, pale-faced, biting her lip as Qi Cheng drove away with Yangyang.

Second Brother and his wife returned home. Inside, after closing the door, he saw her slowly sit down and asked, "Did you do what happened today?"

She glanced at him and denied, "No."

"Shi Xuan, I want the truth." He stared at her seriously.

She took a deep breath, "Yes, I did it. So what?"

Hearing this, his eyes darkened as he looked at her in disbelief. "Do you know how much disgrace you caused our parents? Today was Dad’s birthday, and you wouldn’t even spare that? Shi Xuan, when did you become like this?"

"I did this for Yangyang. If not, would she and Qi Cheng have separated?"

"Did you see Qi Cheng’s reaction? Even if Ji Yunhuan had something with Bai Liyan, Qi Cheng wouldn’t leave her because of it. His determination is clear."

Thinking of this, she felt pained, too. "I don’t understand why Qi Cheng is so stubborn. He never treated any other woman like this." 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

"You’re sick!" He looked at her with disappointment. "When did you become so malicious, even scheming against your family? I told you we’d have our own child. You promised, but went behind my back with these schemes."

"I had no choice. They forced me."

"Heh..." He couldn’t help but chuckle. Her attitude made him feel that his efforts to protect her were foolish. He turned and walked out, shutting the door.

Seeing the closed door, she felt a moment of stiffness. He had never slammed the door and left her alone before. Today was the first time.

A lot had happened today. Lin Xiang hadn’t left. She stood outside in the courtyard, seeing him walk out. She wanted to talk to him, but he ignored her and drove away.

Though he seemed indifferent, he always loved his family. For her, he had fallen out with Qi Cheng, yet she schemed relentlessly, even against their father.

For Yangyang, for a child that wasn’t hers, she had changed too much and lost her essence.

For many years, no matter what happened, he had always stood by her decisively, cherishing and protecting her. But now, he couldn’t help but feel disappointed.

She only cared about the child that wasn’t hers, without considering his position. How could he condone her harming their family just because of love?

The car stopped at the Ji Family’s gate. Qi Cheng got out with Yangyang in his arms. Assistant Gao had been waiting at the entrance for a long time. "Mr. Qi."

Yangyang, being put down, clung to Qi Cheng’s neck and asked, "Why are we here?"

"Of course, to find your mother."

Yangyang looked unhappily at Qi Cheng. Assistant Gao had already opened the door. Ruirui was asleep. Bai Liyan was keeping him company. Ji Yunhuan stood by the window, lost in thought, having stood there for over an hour.
