Chapter 145 I'll save this spot for you, waiting for your divorce.

Inside the Jaguar, Liang Jian handed Ji Ying a bottle of water.

Ji Ying took it, tilted her head back and drank it, the water droplets dripping from her lips sparkling in the sunset.

Liang Jian lifted his hand on the steering wheel slightly and then put it back down.

Ji Ying possesses an untamed vitality, like a tree growing in the wilderness against the wind, radiating its own light without having to bend over.

Is the wound on your back healed?

She drank some water before remembering that he was driving.

"So you still care about my injury." He chuckled.

"Just a casual question."

Ji Ying turned her face away and looked out of the car.

If she doesn't like someone, she will subtly push them away with small, subtle actions.

Liang Jian fell silent.

The car drove all the way up the mountain.

The sun set, and dusk was approaching.

Liang Jian unbuckled his seatbelt, which pulled at his wound, and he gasped slightly.

Ji Ying chose to ignore it, and after getting off the bus, she found a bare rock to lean against.

"Did you bring me here for a barbecue?" she asked.

Liang Jian handed her a box of sushi and sat down next to her.

Ji Ying is not picky about food; she eats whatever she opens.

Liang Jian lit a cigarette.

"The battery module of the Black Star Smart Home System does indeed have a design flaw. Thank you for your professional technical support."

Ji Ying's attention was on the sushi. "I ruined your press conference, so this is just a small token of my apology."

“No, Wen Lingxue’s ability to exploit loopholes in my territory is due to my negligence,” Liang Jian said.

Ji Ying didn't argue with him. "So, a box of sushi is enough as compensation?"

Seeing how quickly she changed, Liang Jian smiled.

"I'll give you whatever you want."

Ji Ying was stunned for a moment, not understanding his words, when fireworks suddenly went off in the distance.

As the sky darkened, a fiery red rose bloomed in the sky.

Ji Ying looked at it for two seconds and laughed, "Who's going to confess their love here? How cheesy."

Liang Jian wasn't stumped by her words; instead, he readily admitted, "It was arranged by my secretary."

“Zeng Lin has been transferred to the marketing department,” he added deliberately. “Her current secretary’s surname is Han.”

Ji Ying put down the leftover sushi and said, "I'm not an actress. I can't act in the kind of play you want."

Liang Jian frowned. "I'm serious."

Seeing that she didn't speak, he continued, "After receiving my message, you didn't ask why, and even skipped your meal to come see me. I think... I can give it a try with you."

Ji Ying tilted her head and asked, "I'm not even eating. Is it possible that I'm in a hurry to cut ties with you?"

Liang Jian was stunned.

After a moment, he smiled, his eyes becoming dark and unfathomable.

"My family's been pressuring me to go on blind dates lately, could you...?"

"cannot!"

Ji Ying interrupted him.

She had no intention of being a shield for him and Han Bin.

“I’m afraid of your mom too. Besides, if you’re going to find an actress, at least find a single one. I’m not divorced yet.”

After she finished speaking, she got up and walked towards the car, ignoring the fact that the fireworks were going off beautifully.

“I’ll save this spot for you, waiting for you to get a divorce,” Liang Jian said.

"Get lost, take me home right now, I have to go to work tomorrow."

Liang Jian extinguished his cigarette and stood up, his expression unreadable...

Inside the Liang family courtyard.

Liang Yizhi looked at the fireworks in the sky, his jawline taut.

Xue Qin packed his luggage and came out, asking, "You're returning to the capital urgently, should you say goodbye to Miss Ji?"

Liang Yizhi's expression remained unchanged; he simply asked in return, "Why should you greet her?"

Xue Qin shut his mouth.

Meanwhile, in the office of the vice president of Chenxi Group.

Gu Yanchen was still working overtime.

Chen Yuan pushed open the door and entered. "President Gu, Huang Haoran has submitted his resignation."

Gu Yanchen frowned, about to speak, when Gu Gong pushed open the door and entered.

"You're not going to care about Lingxue's matter anymore?"

Gu Yanchen's expression returned to normal, and he said calmly, "The lawyer has already gone. She was caught red-handed this time. I will bail her out after the police have finished questioning her."

Gu Gong was furious and overturned the documents on his desk.

"You even managed to get Guo Ying out of trouble? She's your sister, how could you..."

"Then go and retrieve it yourself," Gu Yanchen interrupted him.

Gu Gong paused for a moment, then pointed at his nose and cursed, "You are the heir of the Gu family, protecting her is your responsibility. If you break your promise, I will... I will..."

Gu Yanchen slowly stood up.

"So what? You brought Gu Yi back, you did that. You put Gu Yi on the board of directors, you did that too. Is there anything else you haven't done?"

Gu Gong said angrily, "If you make me unhappy, the whole company will belong to your brother."

Gu Yanchen chuckled, “Don’t mistake your inability to do something for kindness towards me. Those old directors who followed my grandfather in building the empire are all cunning and shrewd. Unless they see that Gu Yi can really make money for them, no matter how much you talk, they will never give him the position of group president.”

Gu Gong's face turned pale instantly.

“Yan Chen, Ling Xue has dirt on me. If it’s made public, the Gu family will lose face. You are the heir, and it is your responsibility to protect the family’s reputation.”

However, Gu Yanchen was much less bothered by his repeated use of the same tricks.

"Let Gu Yi take over. If I become the heir, it will only cause more trouble and I will end up ruining my marriage. It's not worth it."

Upon hearing this, Gu Gong quickly changed his tone, "Your grandfather's greatest wish before he passed away was for you to take charge of the Gu family. How can you let him down? And your grandmother, after your grandfather passed away, she personally taught you."

But emotional appeals have become ineffective for Gu Yanchen.

"Wen Lingxue has forgotten who owes her. Making her suffer a little is also a way for her to reflect. When the time comes, I will let her out."

Given the current father-son relationship and the fact that things have come to this point, Gu Gong couldn't say anything more.

...

One day later.

Ji Ying finally found out about Huang Haoran.

He actually wants to leave Kun City.

Liang Yanchuan sent someone to pose as a ride-hailing driver, accept his order, and take him to a secluded open space on the outskirts of the city.

As soon as he got out of the car, he grabbed his head and started punching and kicking him, but deliberately avoided hitting his face.

Huang Haoran begged for mercy, crying and pleading, before Ji Ying finally stepped forward and told them to stop.

"This is the sincerity that Senior Brother Huang showed me."

Upon seeing it was her, Huang Haoran immediately knew why he had been beaten and apologized, "I'm sorry, I only taught Wen Lingxue some basic operational concepts. I didn't expect her to use it to harm you."

Ji Ying corrected him, "I didn't expect that I would guess it; it was you who taught her."

Huang Haoran closed his eyes and knelt down before her.

"Wen Lingxue has already been arrested by the police. She will definitely implicate me. Please let me go before the police come looking for me."

Ji Ying asked slowly and deliberately, "You finally managed to get on Gu Yanchen's good side, are you really willing to leave like this?"

Huang Haoran was immediately silenced by his words.

Ji Ying asked, "How did Wen Lingxue get you to cooperate with her?"

"Her intention was to let Gu Yanchen know that I was only working for him because of her. She also assured me that regardless of whether there were any results in the end, she would guarantee that I would get paid."

Ji Ying nodded, "Then go back and keep going."

Huang Haoran looked at her in disbelief.

Ji Ying said calmly, "I'll give you some technical support, but you have to make Chenxi Group keep investing money in it, and give Wen Lingxue enough face."
