Married to My Ex-Fiancé's Cousin-Chapter 555 Shi Xuan, You’ve Gone Too Far_1

Ji Yunhuan had already knelt down on the carpet just as the second sister-in-law finished speaking.

The second brother was also taken aback, not expecting Ji Yunhuan to go to such lengths.

Seeing Ji Yunhuan kneel, the second sister-in-law couldn’t help but let out a chuckle. Although Ji Yunhuan humbled herself and knelt before her, it only fueled her anger even more.

She hated Ji Yunhuan. She hated how Ji Yunhuan was willing to do anything to achieve her goals—you could say she had long since lost track of how much she detested her. Yet, Ji Yunhuan could continue to endure...

The more she endured, the angrier the second sister-in-law became. She grabbed the just-brewed tea from the table and splashed it directly onto Ji Yunhuan’s face. The tea, along with tea leaves, drenched her head. The liquid slowly streamed down from her head, soaking her hair and face; Ji Yunhuan looked utterly miserable now.

The water was still a bit hot, but thankfully not scalding.

The second brother had already stood up. "Shi Xuan, that’s enough."

He didn’t want to see his wife become like this!

She clearly wasn’t such a harsh person in the past. Now, she seemed increasingly unfamiliar to him.

Ji Yunhuan said, "Second sister-in-law, shouldn’t you return Yangyang to me now?"

She was still kneeling, hands clenched tightly together. If it were in the past, she would have splashed the tea back, but for Yangyang...

She forcibly restrained her inner impulse.

If she retaliated here, all the humiliation she had just endured would have been in vain. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

It’s okay...

She kept comforting herself in her heart.

The second sister-in-law, seeing her stubbornness, said to a servant, "Go get Yangyang."

"Stand up first." The second brother said wearily.

Watching from the side, Shi’s mother originally intended to scold Ji Yunhuan for drugging the second sister-in-law, but after seeing this scene, she said nothing. Even she, as a mother, was frightened by the second sister-in-law’s behavior. In her memory, the second sister-in-law was not like this.

Ji Yunhuan stood up. The second brother said, "Get her a towel."

"No!" The second sister-in-law stopped him. "I want to see her leave like this."

Ji Yunhuan’s hands were already clenched tightly, and the feeling of humiliation was nearing a critical point. Even when she had nothing, she had never endured such humiliation. Anyone who tried to bully her never met a good end. This should have been her worst day, but...

But...

For the sake of her son, she endured it all, even admiring herself.

The atmosphere in the living room was tense, filled with explosive potential. The second sister-in-law sat at the side, radiating cold indifference.

Soon, the servant brought Yangyang out. Seeing Ji Yunhuan, his eyes widened. He clearly hadn’t expected to see her here; he instinctively wanted to hide, but seeing her bedraggled state rendered him speechless.

In his eyes, Ji Yunhuan had always been a beautiful mother, never looking so disheveled.

Ji Yunhuan wiped her face with her hand. Seeing Yangyang, she walked toward him. Yangyang, spotting her, instinctively ran to the second sister-in-law. Ji Yunhuan felt an unprecedented level of embarrassment. She swiftly scooped up Yangyang and said to the second brother, "Then, I’ll be leaving now."

Thinking of leaving there and not seeing the second sister-in-law again, Yangyang struggled constantly. Ji Yunhuan held him tightly and stepped outside. Outside, she saw Qi Cheng coming in with a few attendants. Seeing Qi Cheng, the Shi family’s servants did not stop him.

Though Ji Yunhuan had brushed off the tea leaves from her head, she still looked quite disoriented. Seeing this, Qi Cheng’s eyes reddened. "What happened?"

"Nothing." Ji Yunhuan shoved the struggling Yangyang into Qi Cheng’s arms. Exhausted from the confrontation with the second sister-in-law, she had no strength left; her arms were limp, yet she had managed to bring her son out.

Qi Cheng took Yangyang, who stopped struggling, rendered it pointless. Qi Cheng’s attention wasn’t on Yangyang; his gaze focused on Ji Yunhuan’s disheveled appearance, his eyes flashing with fierce light. "Did she splash water on you?"

Ji Yunhuan grabbed his hand. "Let’s just go home."

Qi Cheng handed Yangyang to an attendant, took off his coat, and draped it over her shoulders. At that moment, Ji Yunhuan paused and glanced at him.

His eyes brimmed with unprecedented anger; even this simple, caring gesture seemed awkward. Ji Yunhuan said, "Do you know what I’m reminded of right now?"

"What?"

"Our first meeting, back then, you helped me in the same way."

Her words made Qi Cheng pause. "You still remember."

"Of course I remember." She wasn’t sure if that meeting was fortunate or unfortunate. Ji Yunhuan grabbed his hand. "Let’s go home!"

Qi Cheng glanced back at the house. Ji Yunhuan knew he wanted to get revenge for her, so she grabbed his arm. "Qi Cheng, I want to go and change."

It would indeed be satisfying if Qi Cheng went in for her, but...

The humiliation she had endured wouldn’t be erased.

Besides, within the Shi family, Qi Cheng couldn’t be too excessive, and it would leave a bad impression.

Qi Cheng forcibly suppressed the urge to tear the second sister-in-law apart and left the Shi family with Ji Yunhuan. In the car, Qi Cheng dried her hair with a towel. Her hair was soaked, yet the second sister-in-law hadn’t even given her a towel.

Qi Cheng looked at her with heartbreak, his hatred transforming into sorrow. More than hating the second sister-in-law, he felt deep sorrow for her. He gripped the towel tightly, his knuckles turning white.

He looked at her, silently wiping her face, his expression grave.

From her disheveled look, he could tell what kind of humiliation she had endured inside.

The second sister-in-law had obviously shown her no mercy.

Ji Yunhuan looked at him, slowly reaching out to touch his face. "Qi Cheng, I’m fine. It’s nothing."

Even saying this, she couldn’t comfort Qi Cheng.

He stubbornly kept drying her hair, even though the strands were already dry. After a long time, he finally spoke. "One day, she will pay for everything she did today."

Yangyang sat silently in the car, watching the scene without a word.

When Ji Yunhuan and Qi Cheng returned home, it was already deep into the night. Yangyang fell asleep in the car, exhausted from the long journey. Ji Yunhuan said to Qi Cheng, who had been looking after her, "You carry him first. Be careful not to wake him."

"Don’t worry about him." Qi Cheng was still angry. If it weren’t for this little guy, Ji Yunhuan wouldn’t have had to endure such humiliation. She never let anyone bully her, but for her son, she suffered greatly.

Moreover, Yangyang was clearly unwilling to come back with Ji Yunhuan.
