Lin Xiang could figure it out, but she couldn’t.
Ji Yunhuan and Qi Cheng took Yangyang out for more than half an hour before returning. The family was already preparing for dinner. Recently, the most discussed topic was Father Qi’s birthday party.
The second brother had returned. He would help handle these matters. Normally, it was always the second brother handling them. In this family, the second brother and sister-in-law had always been the most dedicated. It was thanks to them that things were organized. If it were up to Ji Yunhuan, who didn’t understand anything, she wouldn’t be able to prepare.
Father Qi was a person of status. Almost everyone in City A would attend his birthday. So close relatives and friends would co from other places as well.
Father Qi and Mother Qi always paid attention to their reputation, so they had a lot of good relations and many people attending.
At the banquet, Ji Yunhuan and Qi Cheng also helped greet everyone. She had been in the Qi Family for quite a while, and she and Qi Cheng should do sothing.
Today, many people arrived. Lin Xiang and her sisters, Bai Liyan, and even Bai Liyan’s father ca over. The two families had a good relationship. He and Father Qi were friends, so naturally, he would co.
Seeing Bai Liyan, Ji Yunhuan did not feel any awkwardness. She had a clear conscience and there was nothing improper between her and Bai Liyan.
She followed Qi Cheng and t so relatives and friends. Although Qi Cheng had introduced her to many people in C City last ti, most of them were from there. In City A, few people knew that Ji Yunhuan and Qi Cheng were back together.
"Yunhuan, co over here." It was Mother Qi’s voice.
Ji Yunhuan heard it and walked over with Qi Cheng.
Mother Qi pointed at an elder and introduced him to Ji Yunhuan, "This is Uncle Liu. He is a good friend of your father’s."
Everyone in the family knew this Uncle Liu. As a new mber of the family, Ji Yunhuan knew that if Mother Qi was willing to introduce Uncle Liu to her, it ant she was willing to accept her. Ji Yunhuan greeted him, "Hello, Uncle Liu."
Uncle Liu looked at Ji Yunhuan curiously, "So this is Qi Cheng’s wife!"
"Yes."
"Qi Cheng got married so quickly. Last ti when he got married, I was sick and couldn’t attend the wedding, so I didn’t see him. Very good! Being young is great!" he exclaid.
Ji Yunhuan stood beside Qi Cheng, very obedient and gentle.
At this mont, the sister-in-law ca over, "Dad, Mom."
Seeing Uncle Liu, she also greeted him politely, "Uncle Liu, long ti no see!"
"This is Shi Xuan, right? Long ti no see indeed," Uncle Liu said kindly.
The sister-in-law, after greeting him, turned to Ji Yunhuan, "Yunhuan, I have sothing for you."
Ji Yunhuan looked at the gift box in her hands and curiously asked, "What is it?"
"I don’t know either. I found it among the gifts. It is explicitly marked for you," the sister-in-law said, handing it over. Ji Yunhuan had to reach out to take it. Before she could hold it steady, the sister-in-law let go early. The box wasn’t closed, so the cover fell off, and everything inside spilled out. There were so photos, including those from the last ti shown in front of Mother Qi, and new ones. Among them was a photo of Bai Liyan kissing Ji Yunhuan after coming out of the operating room.
Though it was just a light kiss expressing gratitude, the cara captured it at the perfect mont. That shallow kiss, which Ji Yunhuan didn’t even realize, was caught on cara.
The photos were enlarged, and a few placed together made it clear for everyone nearby to see.
The sister-in-law’s face turned pale when she saw this, "What is this?"
Her voice drew many people’s attention. Everyone saw the photos on the ground and couldn’t help but glance at Ji Yunhuan. Now Ji Yunhuan was standing beside Qi Cheng, but in the photos, she was with another man.
The people around looked at Ji Yunhuan with strange expressions, including Father Qi, Mother Qi, and Uncle Liu, whom Ji Yunhuan had just t.
Mother Qi frowned. Such things appearing at this ti were undoubtedly disgraceful to the Qi Family.
"Why aren’t you picking these up?" Mother Qi said to the servant standing by dumbfounded.
The sister-in-law stood silently, staring at the photos. She seed frightened, utterly unprepared for this scene.
Ji Yunhuan herself looked even worse.
She hadn’t done anything inappropriate with Bai Liyan. Their relationship was close, but the photos made it seem incredibly ambiguous, as if she and Bai Liyan had an affair...
She tried to speak, wanting to explain. Seeing the laughing eyes staring at her, she broke free from Qi Cheng’s hand and turned to run out.
Even if she explained, how many would believe her?
The one who wanted to see her humiliated had calculated this scenario long ago, which was why they acted now.
Ji Yunhuan ran outside and stopped by the fountain, gasping for breath. Anger and sha intertwined in her heart. There were always people in this world who couldn’t stand her having any good, determined to destroy her.
Bai Liyan followed her out after seeing her running, "Yunhuan."
Hearing Bai Liyan’s voice, Ji Yunhuan covered her face, with anger swelling in her chest.
She had finally improved her relationship with Qi Family mbers a little, but now such an incident happened.
During Father Qi’s birthday party, such an important occasion, even if she was innocent, losing Father Qi’s face was not sothing a junior should do. She felt miserable and sad, especially as things happened so unexpectedly.
"Are you okay?" Bai Liyan looked at her. Seeing her silent, Bai Liyan said, "I can explain these. Those photos aren’t what they seem, right?"
"It’s useless," Ji Yunhuan finally spoke, "No matter how you explain, this has already happened. It’s sothing unpleasant, and the more you explain, the more ridiculous it becos."
"..."
Ji Yunhuan said helplessly, "Soone just can’t stand being happy, and they wouldn’t rest until they ruin . Just because I’m with Qi Cheng, so many people are dissatisfied? Even if Qi Cheng and I break up, what good would it do them?"
"There are always idle people in this world," Bai Liyan said, "Don’t be too upset. It’s obvious this was set up by soone with intentions."
"If it weren’t for you, how could anyone design such a thing?" Qi Cheng’s voice ca from behind. Bai Liyan turned around and saw that Qi Cheng had also co out. Seeing Bai Liyan running over to care for Ji Yunhuan, Qi Cheng felt even more annoyed. He stared at Bai Liyan, "It’s because you keep appearing by her side that this happened. Now you’re not keeping your distance but running here to care for her. Don’t you think you’re being hypocritical?"
