Qi Cheng asked, "Are you sure you’re done talking?"
"Yes. I’ve confessed to everything!" At this point, to continue confessing would be seeking death.
She didn’t want Qi Cheng to think she was a troublemaker.
Although her thods had been a bit despicable, she felt that dealing with soone like Ji Yunhuan needed no courtesy.
Lin Xiang glanced at Qi Cheng, afraid of being exposed, and hurriedly said, "If you don’t believe , that’s fine. I’m leaving."
As she spoke, she walked out the door. Qi Cheng stood at the doorway, watching her back. Soon, a subordinate approached, "Sir."
"Keep an eye on her."
"Yes."
Lin Xiang left the Qi Family ho with Qi Cheng’s n following her. She didn’t wander around, heading directly to her residence. Usually, when she could stay at Qi Family’s house, she seldom returned here. But given today’s big ss, she thought it’d be better to lie low for a couple of days.
Before she could even step out of the door, a black cloth bag covered her face.
"Hey, let go! Who are you!"
Several hands lifted her into a car as she struggled, all to no avail.
The black-clothed n who had kidnapped her got into the car and made a phone call, "Sir, we did as you instructed."
"Take her to the nightclub."
"..."
Just a slap on the face was too light of a punishnt for her; Qi Cheng didn’t show any courtesy to Lin Xiang this ti.

Second Sister-in-law and Second Brother were still arguing about Yangyang. Although Second Brother didn’t want to fight with Second Sister-in-law, he felt that he had gone to crazy lengths for Yangyang.
So, he hoped Second Sister-in-law could be a bit more rational.
Second Sister-in-law was so furious with Second Brother she wanted a divorce.
In the past, he supported everything she did. But now...
Second Sister-in-law had already dressed Yangyang. She sat on the sofa, brushing Yangyang’s short hair. The atmosphere in the room was sowhat heavy, but Second Brother’s opinion hadn’t changed her mind.
At this mont, the door was knocked on. Second Brother went downstairs to open it, and it was Qi Cheng.
Since childhood, Second Brother doted on Qi Cheng. Therefore, Qi Cheng had always been straightforward with him. After coming in, Qi Cheng didn’t stand on ceremony and directly asked, "Where’s Second Sister-in-law?"
Second Brother, knowing he was there to cause trouble, said, "Sit on the sofa for a bit."
Qi Cheng sat down. Second Brother poured him a cup of coffee and sat down. Qi Cheng looked at the coffee placed in front of him, then at Second Brother, who had no intention of ntioning Second Sister-in-law, "Is Second Brother planning to keep playing dumb?"
It was clear that Qi Cheng was in a bad mood today.
He’d only been gone for half a day. Second Sister-in-law had already tead up with Lin Xiang to bully Ji Yunhuan. While he understood Lin Xiang’s dislike for Ji Yunhuan, he and Ji Yunhuan hadn’t done anything to wrong Second Sister-in-law.
From the very beginning, it was Second Sister-in-law who had been causing trouble, becoming increasingly blatant and outrageous.
Second Brother sipped his coffee slowly, chatting with Qi Cheng as if it were a casual conversation, "I heard about what happened today. It was just a small misunderstanding, Qi Cheng. Don’t take it to heart. Your Second Sister-in-law’s personality can be difficult at tis, but she never ans any harm. How can a family be without conflict?"
But, after the drama and argunts, they were still family.
Second Brother only hoped Qi Cheng wouldn’t pursue the matter further.
Although he had just lectured Second Sister-in-law upstairs for a long ti, he still wanted to protect her. She was his wife, and only he could criticize her. In front of others, he felt it was his duty as a husband to protect her.
"Family?" Qi Cheng couldn’t help but laugh, "Second Brother, do you think we’re family? I rember when you and Second Sister-in-law were good to Yunhuan and , but what has Second Sister-in-law done since Yunhuan returned? Did you even bother to ask her properly?"
"Shi Xuan is just afraid you’d take Yangyang away. She can’t bear to part with Yangyang. I’ve been advising her. Sotis she talks too harshly..."
"If it were just harsh words, I wouldn’t have co here." Qi Cheng said seriously, "Before, Yunhuan just wanted to see Yangyang, and Second Sister-in-law locked her, while pregnant, in a detention center. Do you think this behavior shows she treats us like family?"
Second Brother looked at Qi Cheng in surprise, "How could that be?"
"It happened a long ti ago. Yunhuan had just beco pregnant with Ruirui then. Second Sister-in-law was that outrageous. I didn’t ntion it because I didn’t want Grandpa to know about Yunhuan’s situation. I warned Second Sister-in-law, thinking she’d co to her senses. But look at her now. I was gone half a day, and she bullied Yunhuan with Lin Xiang? How is she a proper Second Sister-in-law?"
"Qi Cheng, it’s not as complicated as you think. Shi Xuan wouldn’t do such things." Second Brother said earnestly.
Qi Cheng chuckled lightly, "You really don’t know what kind of person Second Sister-in-law is? She’s capable of anything when offended. Rember what happened to the girl who confessed to you in college? I don’t mind you protecting her, but if she dares to bully Ji Yunhuan, I won’t let it slide."
"What proof do you have that it was all done by your Second Sister-in-law?" Second Brother asked, "Qi Cheng, we’re brothers. You don’t trust ? Yunhuan and Second Sister-in-law had an argunt today, and you take everything said in anger as true? Why won’t you believe the facts?"
"Then call down Second Sister-in-law. I’d like to hear her version of the facts."
"...Right now, she’s upset and doesn’t want to see anyone. She was wronged today too..."
"Wronged?" Qi Cheng scoffed coldly, "In this house, it’s enough if she doesn’t wrong others. Who has the nerve to wrong her?"
Second Sister-in-law was always strong-willed. Even the eldest sister-in-law couldn’t do anything about her.
"So, what’s your point?" Second Brother looked at Qi Cheng, "I’m your Second Brother. Are you saying you can’t drop this matter for my sake?"
"I can’t," Qi Cheng said, "She was too much towards Yunhuan, and you expect to act like it didn’t happen? Second Brother, your lack of fairness really hurts ."
Second Brother said, "Qi Cheng, if you care about Yunhuan, you should understand my feelings. Besides, all the servants saw it today; Yunhuan started it."
"If it weren’t for Second Sister-in-law and Lin Xiang ganging up on Yunhuan, Yunhuan wouldn’t have been so angry."
"You believe Yunhuan, but I also believe my wife. I believe Shi Xuan didn’t overstep. Isn’t your Ji Yunhuan fine now?" To Second Brother, Second Sister-in-law was his bottom line. Even if everyone thought she was wrong, he’d still stand by her.
Seeing that reasoning with Second Brother was futile, Qi Cheng said in anger, "Fine, keep standing by her. From now on, I’ll pretend I don’t have a Second Brother like you."
"...If that’s how you feel, what can I do?" Second Brother said with a helpless smile.
