Chapter 9 Fiancé Visits_1

Though she was proud, she never forgot to show gratitude to those who had helped her.

Placing the water in front of him, she said, "I'm going to take a shower first. Make yourself comfortable."

"I told you. I don't have a habit of waiting for others," he emphasized once again.

Ji Yunhuan chuckled lightly, "Do I need to remind you that Mr. Qi waited for me for five hours today?"

She didn't care about him at all and went straight into the bathroom.

After working for so long, she was extremely tired and needed to relax her whole body.

Qi Cheng sat on the sofa, looking around her living room. There were family photos on the wall, including pictures of her family and her younger brother... her only living relative.

This area became particularly desolate at night. Was she not afraid of living in such a place alone?

Thinking of Ms. Ji living here, he actually felt a tinge of guilt.

The sound of running water continued in the bathroom, but then there was the sound of the door unlocking. Within moments, the door was opened from the outside. The person who walked in was Gu Yubai. He stood at the door, saw Qi Cheng sitting on the sofa, and after a few seconds of bewilderment, called out in surprise, "Uncle!"

"Yubai, my nephew, what brings you here?" Qi Cheng was not the least bit surprised by his appearance.

Confirming that this was Ji Yunhuan's home and not elsewhere, Gu Yubai said, "I came to check on Yunhuan. Why are you here so late, Uncle?"

"Yunhuan..." Qi Cheng repeated the name meaningfully, "It seems my nephew Yubai can't forget his former fiancée!"

Gu Yubai's face stiffened, remembering what he had said at his mother's birthday in front of Qi Cheng.

At the time, he was afraid that Qi Cheng would blame him for having a relationship with Ji Yunhuan. He never expected that Qi Cheng would now be with Ji Yunhuan.

Could it be that since taking her away that day, they had kept in touch?

This feeling made Gu Yubai very uncomfortable. Despite everything, Ji Yunhuan was still his fiancée. How could she be with another man so late at night?

And that man was his uncle.

He walked over and sat down cautiously, "I was just worried about her, so I came to see her."

Back when he used to visit, he hadn't had a falling out with Ji Yunhuan, so he still had a key to her home.

When Ji Yunhuan left that day, she didn't ask for it back.

He knew today was the day Ji Chen paid his hospital fees. Every quarter, a sum of money had to be paid. Over the past five years, Ji Yunhuan had been getting by by selling her family's belongings. Sometimes Gu Yubai would support her as well, but over time, her financial situation grew increasingly difficult. He knew exactly how much money she had.

She didn't accept the money Mrs. Gu had prepared for her. Gu Yubai was here to bring her the money.

Click. The bathroom door opened. Ji Yunhuan came out in her pajamas, wiping her wet hair. When she saw Gu Yubai, her face immediately darkened like winter ice, "What are you doing here?"

She had just taken a bath. Under the white light, her delicate skin showed no flaws, and her hair was still wet, giving her a damp appearance. Although her pajamas were not revealing, her inherent charm created an inexplicable allure in front of men.

Seeing her dressed like this in front of his uncle, Gu Yubai felt a surge of anger.

At the Gu Family Residence that day, it was she who firmly declared she didn't want to break off the engagement. Unexpectedly, she was now seducing his uncle.

Angry, Gu Yubai's voice turned cold, "Today is the day for Ji Chen to pay the hospital fees. I brought money for you."

Last time Mrs. Gu only gave her fifty thousand. Today, Gu Yubai brought another fifty thousand, making it one hundred thousand in total.

Looking at the envelope he handed over, Ji Yunhuan turned her eyes away coldly, "No need. I won't take a single cent from your Gu family in the future. Don't think that giving a few thousand more can sever our ties. I, Ji Yunhuan, will watch you, Gu Yubai, become a heartless man for the rest of your life."

From the moment she saw him with Ouyang Fei, she only felt disgust for this man. There was no trust left. It was exactly because of this that she wouldn't give him a chance to insult her with money!

She wanted everyone to know how ungrateful and ruthless the Gu family was.

Gu Yubai said, "Ji Chen is in the hospital. You need money. You take it first. We'll talk about the rest later."

"I told you. I won't take your money. Don't put on that hypocritical face. It's disgusting!" Ji Yunhuan said mercilessly.

"You won't take my money?" Gu Yubai said, "Ji Yunhuan, stop pretending to be so aloof. You can refuse my money, but don't embarrass me in front of my uncle!"

Thinking about his fiancée seducing his uncle made him feel extremely humiliated.

If this got out, Gu Yubai wouldn't be able to face anyone. Neither would the Gu family.

"Uncle?" Ji Yunhuan frowned, looking at Qi Cheng, who remained expressionless. The water she had poured for him remained untouched. At this moment, he just sat there, calmly watching her argue with Gu Yubai.

"He's your uncle?" She had never heard Gu Yubai mention this.

Qi Cheng didn't look much older than Gu Yubai.

She had never heard of the Gu family having such a close relationship with Qi Cheng.

But then, she was already accustomed to the Gu family's true nature. She laughed coldly, "Even if he's your uncle, so what? I've seen the fawning faces of your Gu family before. When my father was still around, you shamelessly climbed up to us to arrange our engagement. Now, it's the same, right? You cling to someone powerful and call him uncle! He's so young. How can you even say that!"

"Ji Yunhuan, you..." Gu Yubai was so angry his stomach hurt. He never thought she wouldn't give him the slightest face. She used to be so gentle with him. "Did you use your brain when you said that? If not for the Gu family all these years, who knows what would have happened to you and your brother? Now you speak like this, aren't you being too ungrateful?"

"The Gu family?" Ji Yunhuan said disdainfully, "I haven't forgotten how you and your mother treated me at your home that day! Don't talk to me about what the Gu family has done for me over the years. I've only been to your home a few times. I remember clearly how your mother treated me! As for you... You treating me well was just a matter of maintaining appearances! Don't act like you're such a good person!"

"Don't forget, you are still my fiancée." Forgetting about maintaining his dignity in front of Qi Cheng, he now just wanted to remind Ji Yunhuan not to speak recklessly. Offending Qi Cheng wouldn't end well! She didn't want to break off the engagement because she still wanted to be with him, right?

If the Gu family suffered, what good would it do her?
