She opened the text ssage and saw: "Yunhuan, I have sothing to tell you."
She wanted to ignore it. Gu Yubai probably knew she would do that, so he sent another one quickly: "It’s about your parents."
These words made Ji Yunhuan stop deleting the ssage.
She sat down and called, "Gu Yubai, what do you want now?"
To harass her, he even dragged her parents into it.
On the other end, Gu Yubai’s voice was completely serious, not flippant at all, "I have sothing important to say. I want to tell you in person."
"No need. Just say it on the phone. After what happened last ti, I’ve had enough of you." She didn’t want to see Gu Yubai ever again. She didn’t want sothing like last ti to happen again.
The feeling of being wronged was awful. It even affected her relationship with Qi Cheng. Fortunately, Qi Cheng always trusted her.
Gu Yubai was silent for a while.
Not hearing him speak, Ji Yunhuan urged, "If you don’t speak, I’m hanging up."
He spoke, "Do you really want to hear it over the phone?"
"I don’t think there’s anything worth talking about between us."
"I went to see my dad today." Gu Yubai said, "He told sothing."
"Your dad tried to kill before. I’m not interested in anything he says. We’re both married now. Don’t look for again. Goodbye." Ji Yunhuan was about to hang up when Gu Yubai’s anxious voice ca through the phone, "Don’t you want to know who killed your parents?"
"What did you say?" Ji Yunhuan hesitated before asking.
"Your family didn’t face any crisis, then it suddenly happened. Don’t you want to know why?" Gu Yubai said, "Don’t you think the problems in your family are very similar to what happened to mine?"
Ji Yunhuan paused and thought for a mont. It was sowhat similar, "Are you serious?"
"Yunhuan, there’s no need for to lie to you. Listen to what I have to say, then you can judge if it’s true or not. If you want to know, let’s et. I want to talk to you face to face."
Ji Yunhuan didn’t respond. She just felt her head throbbing.
She never really cared about her family’s affairs. She never expected the Ji Family to go bankrupt. Later it happened so quickly, she didn’t think much about it. After all, thinking more wouldn’t help. There were so many bankrupts in this world...
But what Gu Yubai said made her feel that, just like with the Gu Family’s downfall, there might be a hidden hand behind it.
Her father had good connections. Why didn’t anyone help him when things went wrong? They didn’t even want to et him. The developnt of events seed very similar to what happened to the Gu Family.
Soone wanted to push the Ji Family into a desperate situation.
Did her father offend soone?
While she was silent, Gu Yubai said: "I’ll wait for you at your old ho tomorrow morning. Also, I heard you had a child. Congratulations!"
He hung up before Ji Yunhuan could get angry.
Ji Yunhuan sat in the chair, thinking about Gu Yubai’s words. What he said seed true. Maybe if she t him, she would know.
She wanted to know who hard her family. She also wanted to find out who her father offended to end up like this.
Even if she ended up with nothing, she didn’t want her family to die so unjustly. Moreover, now she had Qi Cheng.
She knew Qi Cheng would stand up for her.
She didn’t need to endure it anymore.
Ji Yunhuan opened a box of old items and found the notebook. She had shown it to Qi Cheng, but it was still here. It recorded various shady dealings of Mr. Gu and others, including her father.
The people involved were all prominent figures. She looked at them one by one, hoping to find so clues.
Because Gu Yubai suddenly ntioned it, Ji Yunhuan felt uneasy.
In the evening, after her bath, Qi Cheng was coaxing the baby.
He looked at her and said, "Once Grandpa leaves, I’ll take you to see the building."
"Alright!" She smiled, walked over, took the baby, and held him in her arms, "You go take a bath first!"
Qi Cheng looked at her and said, "Grandpa seems to like you very much."
"That’s good. I was worried he might dislike ." This made Ji Yunhuan feel better. No matter what, the past was past, and she and Qi Cheng were very happy now.
"My taste is so good. The person I chose, how could he dislike you?" Qi Cheng boasted a bit.
Ji Yunhuan held the baby, looking at him, urging, "I’ll watch him first. Go take your bath. Otherwise, he’ll cry again."
"If he cries, there’s nothing I can do. Sotis he only wants you. It’s unfair. I wake up early and stay late every day to take care of him."
"There’s nothing to be done. It’s the bloodline."
"He has my blood too, doesn’t he!" Qi Cheng complained.
"Yes, yes, he has your blood too, or how could he call you dad?" Ji Yunhuan smiled, "Go take your bath."
Qi Cheng looked at her, unable to resist kissing her forehead, "You and the baby sleep first. I’ll take a bath."
"Okay." After Qi Cheng went into the bathroom, Ji Yunhuan put the baby in the cradle.
As soon as she let go, the little guy opened his eyes, his little mouth puckered like he was about to cry. She quickly picked him up again.
She was so done with him.
"At night, you just cling to mommy, don’t want to leave for a mont?"
The baby didn’t respond, quickly falling asleep in her arms again.
Looking at her son, Ji Yunhuan felt that the na Qi Cheng gave him was fitting. This child was like a small ray of sunshine in their life, very warm.
She wasn’t in a hurry to put her son down, lying with him on the bed, letting him sleep beside her.
Qi Cheng ca out not long after, seeing Ji Yunhuan deep in thought, not even noticing the baby’s cry. He reminded her, "Honey, what are you daydreaming about?"
She glanced at the baby, picked him up, and suddenly rembered Gu Yubai’s words. Looking at Qi Cheng, she decided not to hide from him, "I want to go out tomorrow."
"Where to?"
"I haven’t gone out for a long ti. Just want to take a walk." Knowing Qi Cheng wouldn’t approve if she told him she was eting Gu Yubai, she decided not to tell him for now.
Qi Cheng said, "Alright. It’s just that it’s not convenient to take the baby out since he’s still so little, and Grandpa will be here tomorrow. I have to accompany him."
"Don’t worry. I’ll bring soone with . Nothing will happen." Ji Yunhuan knew from the last incident with Gu Yubai that being alone without soone accompanying her was very inconvenient.
Qi Cheng looked at her, held her hand, and his eyes were filled with tender feelings, like silk, tightly binding him.
