Chapter 549: Chapter 549: Second Sister-in-Law’s Ruse (Part 1)

"Where are you going?" Her second brother saw she had just woken up, dizzy and unable to stand steadily, and he worriedly grabbed her arm.

"I need to ask her why she did this to me! Even if I wronged her before, hasn’t she already gotten her revenge?" The second sister-in-law gritted her teeth in anger, wishing she could tear Ji Yunhuan apart.

Lin Xiang stood aside, finding delight in the second sister-in-law’s fury.

She just wanted to watch Ji Yunhuan and the second sister-in-law fight. No matter who suffered, it had nothing to do with her.

Qi Cheng and Ji Yunhuan were still in the hallway outside. Neither of them entered the room, as the air inside was too stifling. Ji Yunhuan leaned against the wall while Qi Cheng stood next to her, one hand in his pocket, keeping her company.

Soon, the second sister-in-law came out supported by Lin Xiang’s second brother. "Ji Yunhuan!"

Ji Yunhuan lifted her head and looked at the second sister-in-law coming out of the doorway. The second sister-in-law stared at her with eyes full of hatred, but Ji Yunhuan remained calm. In her eyes, all the current chaos of the second sister-in-law was just intended to attack her.

Many times, she admired those who used the self-harm strategy, such as Lin Xiang and the second sister-in-law.

In this world, those who are cruel to themselves are truly ruthless.

The second sister-in-law walked over and stood in front of Ji Yunhuan, her eyes filled with madness. "You actually did something like this?"

"Your acting is quite superb," Ji Yunhuan said dismissively, looking at the second sister-in-law. "You know very well who did it."

"What do you mean?" The second sister-in-law couldn’t help but sneer as Ji Yunhuan showed no sign of guilt for her actions.

Ji Yunhuan calmly looked at the second sister-in-law. "You don’t like me and want to use self-harm to make everyone hate me. You’re clever and manipulative. You can make everyone hate me and even make me leave the Qi family. But do you think that if I leave, Yangyang will be yours? Even if I leave, Qi Cheng is still alive. Yangyang will never have any relationship with you."

"You say I’m using self-harm?" The second sister-in-law stared at Ji Yunhuan in disbelief, feeling an urge to hit her. Ji Yunhuan had tried to harm her, but in the end, put the blame on her.

"Isn’t it?" Ji Yunhuan raised her eyebrows coldly.

The second sister-in-law raised her hand to slap Ji Yunhuan, but Ji Yunhuan quickly grabbed her hand. "The second sister-in-law still has the strength to hit people. Wasn’t everything before just an act?"

"Ji Yunhuan, you’re too much!" Lin Xiang saw what was happening and quickly ran out to add fuel to the fire. "You bullied the second sister-in-law and now you’re slandering her."

Ji Yunhuan released the second sister-in-law’s arm and glared at Lin Xiang. "Which eye of yours saw me bullying the second sister-in-law? Did you see me drug her? I was with Qi Cheng the whole night. It was impossible for me to have done it."

"Do you need to do it yourself for something like this?" The second brother coldly looked at Ji Yunhuan, who was skilled at defending herself. "You’re good at making excuses for yourself."

Ji Yunhuan looked at the second brother. Although she felt humiliated by his words, it didn’t mean she deserved his false accusations. "I understand you want to protect the second sister-in-law, but aren’t you going too far?"

"How is the second brother going too far? Clearly, it’s you who’s wrong. Everyone saw it with their own eyes." Lin Xiang quickly retorted upon hearing Ji Yunhuan criticize the second brother.

Ji Yunhuan really felt the urge to deal with this woman.

Qi Cheng said, "Ji Yunhuan didn’t do this. Blaming everything on her without understanding the situation is unfair."

"Unfair?" The second brother glared at Qi Cheng. "Would you stay calm if someone drugged her?"

"But Ji Yunhuan didn’t do it."

"You know her better than I do. Everyone in City A knows she’s synonymous with ’vicious and ruthless’."

The second brother’s personal attack on Ji Yunhuan angered Qi Cheng. "You’re too much, second brother! I know what kind of person Ji Yunhuan is and I know she wouldn’t do this. The second sister-in-law knows her own mind. She even framed Ji Yunhuan at our father’s birthday banquet. Are you sure this time she isn’t using the self-harm tactic?"

"Self-harm?" The second brother laughed. "Have Ji Yunhuan try a self-harm tactic."

"You’re in a bad mood. I’m not going to argue with you." Qi Cheng grabbed Ji Yunhuan’s hand and left. As they approached the car, the elder brother came out. "Qi Cheng."

Qi Cheng stopped, his expression still stiff. The elder brother approached, glancing at him and Ji Yunhuan. "With such a situation at home, you’re going to leave with Ji Yunhuan?"

"What else can I do? Let everyone come over and scold her?"

"But if you leave without explaining, all the blame will fall on Yunhuan."

"Let’s just say we did it!" Qi Cheng got into the car, slamming the door. The car quickly drove away.

Neither Ji Yunhuan nor Qi Cheng spoke in the car. Both were in a terrible mood. Ji Yunhuan felt bad for being falsely accused, while Qi Cheng couldn’t stand seeing anyone slander her.

Bai Liyan arrived at the house and noticed the somber faces of the two returning from outside. "What’s wrong?"

Seeing Bai Liyan, Ji Yunhuan felt like crying. She said, "Nothing."

"I heard you went back to the Qi family. Did you argue with them again?" Bai Liyan asked curiously.

Qi Cheng sat alone on the sofa. Ji Yunhuan explained, "The second sister-in-law was drugged. They think I did it."

"Drugged?"

"I think she’s just acting." Thinking of this, Ji Yunhuan felt hopeless. "She doesn’t plan to give me a break!"

She had intended to keep the peace, but now it seemed impossible.

Bai Liyan looked at Ji Yunhuan. "Don’t get angry. It’s not worth punishing yourself for another’s mistake."

"But I’m not willing to accept it!" Ji Yunhuan said. "Now everyone in the family hates me."

She glanced at Qi Cheng, feeling worse for involving him and making him an unjust man in people’s eyes. He had endured too much for her.

Bai Liyan also looked at Qi Cheng. It was rare for Qi Cheng not to be jealous when seeing him today, indicating how bad Qi Cheng’s mood truly was.

The female housekeeper brought Yangyang downstairs and said to Ji Yunhuan, "Madam, Young Master Yangyang has been waiting for you for a long time."
