Chapter 108: The Father-in-law Who Backs Her Up
“Sigh…..”
After sighing slightly, Ji Yunqi put down her phone. No matter what, she still had to meet Gu Yunlan. Ji Yunqi always followed through on her word.
Since she had said it, she naturally had to do it and not be someone who made promises lightly.
If not, she would be looked down upon, and even Ji Yunqi herself would probably look down on herself. Therefore, interacting with this family became something she had to do.
“This is tough…..”
“Dad, let’s go back. They seem to have finished their talk.” Ji Chengyun appeared behind Ji Yunqi and scratched her head. She had seen her father’s worries.
Although she didn’t know what had happened, discussing it with her maternal grandfather now would definitely be the best option.
After all, her maternal grandfather was very capable and might be able to help her father.
“Okay.”
Ji Yunqi decided not to think about it anymore. The most important thing at this stage was to help her father-in-law and wife reconcile. This had been a concern of hers.
Once this matter was resolved, other things could naturally be handled with more focus.
……….
When Ji Yunqi and her group returned indoors, they saw Ye Lingyu’s family of three happily chatting and laughing. Seeing this scene, Ji Yunqi’s originally tense heart immediately relaxed.
As expected, her guess was not wrong. Hadn’t they already reconciled?
“Come, child, come here.” Ye Lingyu beckoned Ji Yunqi to come and sit with them.
“Uh…. that, how is the wedding preparation for Chengyun going?” Ye Lingyu did not forget the main purpose of this trip. His grandson’s wedding was his primary reason for being here.
Reconciling with his daughter was also important, but this was ultimately a matter between family members. His grandson’s wedding involved two families.
Ji Yunqi subconsciously looked at Ye Mingkong. This matter was mainly handled by her wife, and she was not very clear about the specific situation.
Ye Mingkong patted Ye Lingyu’s shoulder, “Don’t worry, Dad. Everything is arranged properly. The wedding can be held in half a month.”
“That’s good, that’s good.”
“It’s midday, we as a family should have a good meal, haha.”
Ji Yunqi gave a wry smile. She wanted to, but Gu Yunlan’s agreed-upon time seemed to be noon. In this case, she had to go and meet him.
“Dad, Mom, you guys eat. I have something to take care of.” Even though Ji Yunqi knew that saying this at this moment might dampen the mood, she had to do it.
Moreover, she was confident that they would not blame her for anything. They were family, and there would be a long time to spend together in the future, so there was no need to worry about these things.
“Ah? What happened, is it so urgent?” Ye Lingyu frowned slightly. He wasn’t blaming his son-in-law; he knew the kind of person his son-in-law was.
The matter that could make her leave at this critical juncture was probably not a small one.
If that was the case, then go. If anything happened, he, the father-in-law, would stand by her.
“Then go. If you need any help, just tell Dad.”
“Okay, thank you, Dad.”
“Go.”
……….
After Ji Yunqi replied to Gu Yunlan, confirming that she would come, she headed straight to the location Gu Yunlan had provided.
Along the way, her mood was complicated. Gu Yunlan was from Kyoto and had an extraordinary presence. Ji Yunqi could tell that he must be from a wealthy family.
And regarding her background, it was likely that he was closely related to it. If that were the case, then….. things would probably not be simple.
However, Ji Yunqi suddenly thought of what Old Biden had said earlier and was no longer afraid. Although she didn’t quite know the power of her father-in-law in Kyoto, she knew that in Kyoto, her father-in-law still had significant influence.
With that in mind, Ji Yunqi was no longer afraid. If something happened, her father-in-law would protect her, and she didn’t need to worry.
……….
The place Gu Yunlan and Ji Yunqi agreed to meet was a private dining room in a coffee shop. It offered simple refreshments and was a good place for a conversation, mainly because it was relatively hidden.
Ji Yunqi took a deep breath and walked into the private room. She immediately saw Gu Yunlan sitting at the dining table, waiting for her.
When Gu Yunlan saw Ji Yunqi arrive, he put down his coffee cup. “Come, sit.”
To be honest, Ji Yunqi was not in a good mood. If she had a choice, she really didn’t want to have too much contact with these people. Her home was here, her family was here, and she didn’t want to get too involved with people who were unrelated to her.
“May I ask why Mr. Gu called me here?”
Gu Yunlan could hear the hint of dissatisfaction and rejection in Ji Yunqi’s tone. He could probably guess that the young lady in front of him would not accept them so easily.
However, he had received a strict order to bring her back.
“Actually, you shouldn’t call me that.”
Ji Yunqi frowned slightly. If she didn’t call him Mr. Gu, what should she call him? Could it be that this person was really deeply related to her?
Seeing Ji Yunqi’s confusion, Gu Yunlan stopped beating around the bush. “You should call me… Uncle.”
A simple sentence, yet it made Ji Yunqi’s mind explode. What was this person saying?
Uncle?
What was an uncle? It couldn’t be an uncle in the sense of a father’s brother, right?

“What do you mean?” Even though Ji Yunqi had guessed the meaning of “Uncle” by this point, she still held onto a sliver of hope, wanting to see if there was any room for maneuver.
“Don’t think about it. I am your uncle, your father’s younger brother. Do you understand?”
Ji Yunqi’s expression immediately fell. She knew it…
“So? Did you ask me here for anything else besides telling me this?”
At this moment, Ji Yunqi regretted it immensely. It was just because she saw Gu Yunlan’s extraordinary bearing and knew he was not ordinary. Moreover, he had taken the initiative to talk to her, and she wanted to broaden her network.
Who knew that broadening her network would bring her such a big trouble?
What kind of luck was this? Ji Yunqi now wished she could travel back in time and slap herself twice. What was she doing?
“Let me first explain my identity and your situation.”
“My name is Gu Yunlan, and I am your uncle. Your father’s name is Gu Ming. Our Gu family is a prominent family in Kyoto. Although we are not top-tier, we are quite famous.”
“As for you, you should be the eldest daughter of the Gu family. It’s just that… you were swapped for a wild cat. Do you understand now?”
……….
Ji Yunqi: ⊙⊙
What was this person saying?
Ji Yunqi felt that she couldn’t understand at all. Eldest daughter…
So, she had fallen into a story arc of a true and false daughter? Did it have to be this melodramatic? She just wanted to live a quiet life, why did it have to be like this!
Although Ji Yunqi was unwilling in her heart at this moment, she knew that she had to go to the Gu family no matter what, if only to give an account to the girl who had given her a second life.
If she went and communicated well with them, it would be her account to that girl.
After that, she would return to her own life, which was her commitment to herself. Ultimately, she was an independent person now and could not really be confined here.
She would never let go of everything in the past, let alone truly accept this so-called Gu family!
She was Ji Yunqi, and she would not be anyone else!
……….
