Chapter 121 I've never had you in my heart, no matter who you are.

With Chi Shaokang backing her up, Xia Yuhuan naturally couldn't be too unreasonable and refuse to give Chi Shaokang face.

She quickly replied, "I'll listen to my dad. If he says we should stay to eat, we'll stay. If he says we should go home to eat, we'll go home."

Chi Shaoning then said, "Brother, your daughter-in-law isn't saying anything anymore, so don't be angry. We're family after all, it wouldn't be good to make things too awkward."

"Alright, since you're already here, let's have dinner before you leave." Chi Shaokang finally relented.

"But let me make this clear: Xiao Huan is Yan Zhou's wife, the daughter-in-law that Xiao Ya and I have chosen. She is a member of the Chi family. If anyone dares to treat her as a member of the Chi family or bully her, don't blame me for turning against them."

Chi Shaokang is not only the most senior among his siblings, but also the most successful, so his status is naturally the highest.

With Chi Shaokang in charge, no one dared to underestimate Xia Yuhuan just because she was a substitute bride seeking good fortune.

Later, while Zhang Xianya was being talked to, Xia Yuhuan sat aside drinking a glass of water, her gaze silently sweeping over everyone.

She was trying to find out the possible person with the surname Chi mentioned by the original owner by observing the words and actions of others.

Unfortunately, she didn't have any direct contact with the people, so it's really hard to tell anything just by looking at her.

What are you looking at?

While Xia Yuhuan was carefully observing everyone, Chi Zhenghao walked up to her and asked her a question.

Xia Yuhuan snapped out of her daze, glanced at him, and said indifferently, "I wasn't looking at anything."

Chi Zhenghao pursed his lips and remained silent for a moment before apologizing to her: "I'm sorry, because of Wen Hong, you've suffered today."

Xia Yuhuan blinked gently: "I accept the apology, but I don't forgive her. I have no conflict with her, and her attack on me is a bit inexplicable."

"Also, I was protected by my dad, so I didn't suffer any injustice." Xia Yuhuan raised her chin, looking quite proud.

A person who is protected and pampered by elders will always be a happy child, no matter how old they are. She is just like that in front of her parents.

So even though she was attacked by Chi Wenhong and Chi Jianyong, and scolded by that old man Chi Ruide, she didn't feel wronged at all; on the contrary, she felt quite happy.

Ji Jung-ho could sense her heartfelt joy and pride.

Those bright eyes made him slightly stunned.

It's clear that Xia Yuhuan and Chi Shaokang and his wife have a very good relationship.

There was no mother-in-law/daughter-in-law relationship between them; on the contrary, they seemed extremely close, just like a real family.

Chi Yanzhou is truly blessed.

When he was awake, he was an outstanding young man praised by everyone. When he fell into a coma, his family arranged a marriage for him to bring good luck. They found him a capable and excellent wife who got along well with his parents.

For some reason, Chi Zhenghao felt a pang of jealousy towards Chi Yanzhou, who was now lying in bed unable to move and in a vegetative state.

It's as if God is biased towards him, giving him everything good.

"Are you really here to apologize to me? Or are you here to get revenge for your sister?" Xia Yuhuan asked him.

"If you want to stand up for your sister, just bring it on. I'm not afraid of you."

Chi Zhenghao frowned: "In your heart, am I such a person who can't distinguish right from wrong?"

Xia Yuhuan said, "I've never even had you in my heart, so why would I care who you are?"

After several encounters with Chi Jung-ho, she actually had a fairly good impression of him.

This person always had a cold face, as if others owed him eight million.

But actually, her personality is alright. Although she has a strange jealousy towards Chi Yanzhou, she hasn't intentionally hurt him so far.

They make promises and they keep them.

Last time, she tricked him into making three demands, asking him to let Xia Jianyong go, and he agreed without hesitation.

She later heard from Uncle Yan that Chi Zhenghao had already used his connections to target Xia Jianyong and had already incurred favors, but because of her words, he went to find someone to stop the operation.

Therefore, this person keeps his promises, has sound values, and can indeed be considered a good person with impeccable character.

However, the people around him are all unreliable, including his parents and his sister. As a result, whenever she thinks of him, she categorizes him and his family as the same kind of people, and naturally, she doesn't give them a pleasant look.

Hearing her say that, Chi Zhenghao felt inexplicably uncomfortable.

He pursed his lips and said, "I'll have a good talk with Wenhong when I get back. Tomorrow I'll bring her to your house in person so she can apologize to you again."

"No, let's forget about the apology. With your sister's arrogant attitude, she probably won't really realize her mistake. Making her apologize would be no different from killing her."

"Even if you force her to apologize to me, it will only be a superficial apology. Who knows how much she might hate me in her heart? I don't want to cause trouble for myself." Xia Yuhuan refused directly.

Although Chi Wenhong is still young, she is still a member of the Chi family and they will have to meet during holidays. If they make a fuss every time they meet, even if she is in the right, it will still be quite annoying.

It's best to keep your distance.

Seeing how much she rejected Chi Wenhong, Chi Zhenghao couldn't help but feel angry.

Is his sister really that bad?

He couldn't help but say, "I will definitely bring her here to apologize to you. I will prove to you that she is not that bad, not that terrible."

With that, Chi Jung-ho strode away.

Xia Yuhuan stared at his retreating figure, her forehead covered in black lines, feeling utterly bewildered.

Sometimes, she really felt like hitting someone.

She already said not to apologize, not to apologize, can't that stubborn Ji Zhenghao hear her?

Is an apology absolutely necessary?

What bad luck!

After dinner, Xia Yuhuan and her family got into the car to go home.

On the way, Xia Yuhuan apologized to Chi Shaokang, feeling particularly embarrassed.

"I'm sorry, Dad, I've caused you trouble again today."

At today's gathering, Chi Shaokang had a few drinks and was resting with his eyes closed.

Hearing this, he turned to look at Xia Yuhuan and said, "It's alright. This wasn't your fault to begin with. You're my daughter-in-law. If I don't protect you, who will?"

“That’s right, you’re our precious wife, we’ll definitely protect you. If he dares to help his bunch of weirdos bully you, I’ll teach him a lesson later,” Zhang Xianya added.

Upon hearing this, Xia Yuhuan pursed her lips, but still couldn't suppress the smile in her eyes.

She coughed lightly and said in a low voice, "If I encounter something like this again in the future, I will try my best to control my temper and not cause you any trouble."

“No need to control yourself. Didn’t I tell you before? As long as you’re in the right, even if you bring the sky down, we’ll stand by you,” Chi Shaokang said.

“That’s right. Besides, you’re part of our family. If we, your parents, don’t stand up for you when you’re bullied, then in other people’s eyes you’ll be seen as easy to bully, and everyone will want to take advantage of you,” Zhang Xianya said.

Xia Yuhuan felt even more touched after hearing this.

She pondered over the few people she suspected during the family dinner today, and after hesitating for a long time, she finally asked Chi Shaokang about them.

When Chi Shaokang heard her asking, he didn't say anything, but instead told her seriously.

After she finished speaking, Chi Shaokang asked her, "Why are you asking about them?"
