Chapter 258 Ji Ying is Injured

Ji Ying took two steps back without making a sound, putting distance between herself and Liang Yizhi.

Liang Yizhi noticed that the person who had just been warming his heart had instantly reverted to their usual aloofness, and he unconsciously frowned.

"Butler Fei, why didn't you remind the master?"

Shen Aizhu spoke with familiarity, behaving like a hostess.

"Third Miss..."

Butler Fei bowed, looking troubled.

In the past, she could come and go as she pleased, but now...

How did you get in?

Liang Yizhi's voice lacked warmth.

But Shen Aizhu was already used to it, and she gestured with her chin toward the door.

"Aunt Ding was wiping your car when she saw me, and she immediately invited me in. And then..."

She walked to Liang Yizhi's side and reached out to take his arm.

"I often come here to stay, it's just like being at home."

Liang Yizhi stepped aside, causing her to miss her catch.

“In the past, it was my teacher’s wife who instructed me, and I gave Lao Fei a heads-up, so no one stopped you, but things are different now.”

“Brother-in-law,” Shen Aizhu said, as if she couldn’t understand him, and began to whine, “I’ve been discharged from the hospital, but I don’t want to stay at home to recover. I want to stay here with you.”

Actually, she was discharged from the hospital against her will.

The purpose was to move in here, to disgust Ji Ying.

However, before Liang Yizhi could speak, Ji Ying took over the conversation.

"Butler Fei, does Miss Shen have a designated room here?"

Butler Fei glanced at Liang Yizhi and replied truthfully, "There is a guest room that wasn't originally intended for the Third Miss, but she put many of her personal belongings in it."

Ji Ying said calmly, "Take Miss San to pack her things."

"What do you mean? This is my brother-in-law's house!" Shen Aizhu said urgently.

Liang Yizhi slowly corrected her, "In this family, the wife has the final say."

Shen Aizhu was immediately speechless at his blunt words.

"Aren't you in a hurry?" Ji Ying looked at Liang Yizhi.

Liang Yizhi smiled and gently pinched her earlobe.

"Yes, leave everything to your wife."

Having said that, he turned and left.

Shen Aizhu watched the two interact intimately, oblivious to everyone else, and her eyes practically spit fire.

She absolutely cannot let this situation continue!

Shen Aizhu fumbled in her bag for a moment, then glared angrily at Ji Ying.

“Now that your brother-in-law is gone, you don’t need to pretend anymore. You just wanted to use his status to bully others, didn’t you? Let me tell you…”

“Enough,” Ji Ying said calmly but with an undeniable air of authority. “From now on, you are not welcome here.”

"What gives you the right?" Shen Ruofu asked in shock. "Does your brother-in-law mean he can't have normal social interactions with you just because he's married to you?"

“I won’t interfere with his normal social interactions, but Miss Shen…”

Ji Ying deliberately emphasized the word "three" very clearly.

“...You are the woman that someone else wants to push onto my husband, and you yourself have ulterior motives towards my husband. I cannot tolerate you, and you are not allowed to set foot in this place.”

"You're the one who stole my man, you..."

Ji Ying didn't want to waste time on her, so she glanced at Butler Fei and then swept the courtyard around.

Perhaps because she couldn't find anyone she trusted, she called out "Jiang Ran" towards the door.

Jiang Ran rushed over, "Sister Ying, I was just about to come in, what's wrong?"

“Send this young lady and her belongings back to the Shen residence, and tell the eldest member of the Shen family that if he cannot teach his granddaughter what propriety, righteousness, and shame are, he should not raise her at all.”

"Alright!"

Jiang Ran immediately picked up Shen Aizhu like a chick.

Shen Aizhu struggled and screamed.

"Ji Ying, I recorded every word you just said! I'm going to send it to my brother-in-law word for word so he can see your true colors!"

Ji Ying's eyes narrowed. "You recorded it?"

Jiang Ran also stopped what she was doing.

Shen Aizhu proudly took out her phone. "How about my 'fighting fire with fire' tactic? Scared yet?"

Ji Ying laughed and said, "Yes, please don't send it to him."

Shen Aizhu became even more smug, "I'm going to send it to him anyway!"

Ji Ying smiled slightly, "No, I'm afraid he'll get even more cocky if he hears how much I care about him."

Shen Aizhu, "..."

Jiang Ran couldn't help but laugh and swiftly dragged the person away.

Ji Ying leisurely finished her breakfast, and Jiang Ran returned as well.

She excitedly reported, "Sister Ying, you didn't see it, but when I delivered the message, Grandpa Shen's face turned bright red, like a monkey's bottom."

However, upon hearing this, Ji Ying merely curled the corners of her lips slightly and said, "It's not good that his blood pressure rises so easily. I'll have to make things difficult for him in the future."

After saying that, she got up and walked out of the dining hall.

As I passed through the courtyard, Old Ding was mowing the lawn.

Ji Ying glanced at him without lingering and walked straight towards the gate.

Today she's going to Huansheng Biotechnology to inquire about the application results for Xiao Xia's heart project.

When I got to the door, I saw my car and almost thought I was hallucinating.

"This is……"

She subconsciously looked at Jiang Ran, who was walking up behind her.

Jiang Ran shook the car keys in her hand.

"The gentleman thought you might be staying in Beijing for a while and was worried you wouldn't be used to other cars, so he specially arranged for this car to be transported from Kunming."

An indescribable sense of security quietly crept into my heart.

He could treat her very well, even pamper her to the skies, so why did he give her up in the first place?

Her slightly cool fingertips curled up unconsciously, but Ji Ying said nothing, opened the car door, and got into the driver's seat.

A short while later, she appeared in the general manager's office of Huansheng Biotechnology.

Xu Zhaoheng poured him a glass of purified water, but she just looked at it and didn't intend to drink it.

"I want to know the result of Xiao Xia's application."

Xu Zhaoheng looked into her eyes, "Is this all you came for?"

Ji Ying gave him no false hope and nodded seriously.

A wave of disappointment washed over her, but Xu Zhaoheng smiled.

"First of all, I must sincerely apologize for what happened last time. I was careless and used the wrong method and place, which made you angry. I'm sorry. But I hope you will give me a chance to explain myself."

Xu Zhaoheng spoke very quickly, giving Ji Ying no chance to interrupt.

"Going to a romantic restaurant with you has been my dream for many years, but back then Lin Yan was by your side and kept a tight rein on you, so I didn't have the chance. Now that we've finally met again, I don't want to miss this opportunity, and I don't want to... let you go."

Ji Ying ignored his deep affection and said indifferently, "I'm already married."

Xu Zhaoheng nodded, "I know Liang Yizhi. But his identity... I don't think you two are a good match."

Ji Ying sensed a hidden meaning in his words, "Why do you say that?"

Xu Zhaoheng shrugged and raised an eyebrow. "Intuition."

Ji Ying looked at him quietly for two seconds. "I don't need Mr. Xu to worry about my personal matters. Right now, I just want to know if Xiao Xia's application will be approved."

Seeing that she was unresponsive, Xu Zhaoheng became anxious. He walked around the desk to her and spoke to her in a more urgent and affectionate tone.

"Yingying! Don't you understand? Lin Yan is too weak, not suitable for you; Gu Yanchen is too mercenary, not suitable for you either; and there's no love between Shen Ruofu and me, it's just a business marriage. As long as you agree, I can break off the engagement anytime! Everything I've done is for..."

"For what? Xu Zhaoheng!"

The office door was suddenly pushed open.

"How could you be so despicable!"

Shen Ruofu stormed in with a livid face, grabbed a utility knife from the desk, and swung it at Ji Ying!

Ji Ying was unable to dodge in time and was cut by the tip of the knife, leaving a bloody mark that instantly oozed out.

Her heart skipped a beat; she had a bad feeling.
