Chapter 63 Sensitive Men Have No Friends

Just then, Liang Jian came out of the teahouse with his secretary.

He was probably still angry, so he ignored them and went straight to the Phantom parked by the roadside.

Ji Ying, quick-witted, took back the cookies.

"Okay, then I won't be polite. I'll call you another day, so make sure you answer."

After saying that, she ran towards Liang Jian.

Liang Yanchuan's hand, which was about to take the biscuit, froze in mid-air, awkwardly hesitant to let go.

Just as Liang Jian got into the car, a figure darted in and sat down next to him.

Meeting his cold gaze, Ji Ying felt a pang of bitterness.

"Excuse me, Mr. Liang, could I borrow your car?"

Liang Jian showed no expression, but Ji Ying saw a questioning look on his face.

Who said we should never see each other again?

What does it mean that you've plopped down in my car now?

Ji Ying clutched her bag, feeling a little nervous, afraid that he would make her get off the bus.

"I'll tell you another secret about Gu Yanchen."

"Does Miss Ji still have any credibility with me?" Liang Jian's voice was devoid of emotion.

Ji Ying whispered, "There should be some left, but probably not many."

The secretary kept the car door open, waiting for Liang Jian to give instructions.

She had never seen anyone like Miss Ji before. She had just given her boss a hard time, and now she had the nerve to come and sell her husband.

Luckily, she was a woman; if she had been a man, her boss would probably have snapped her neck.

"drive!"

Hearing her boss's words, the secretary was surprised, but immediately closed the car door and went to the driver's seat.

The car slowly drove into the traffic.

At the entrance of Cunmingfang.

"Could it be that Liang Jian was the one who helped my wife stir up public opinion online? How do they know each other?"

Chen Yuan found it unbelievable.

Gu Yanchen withdrew his gaze, his voice unreadable.

"She's certainly looking for her own death. Liang Jian's ghost ship never lets anyone off halfway. It's better if she falls into my hands. When I torture her, I might be able to show her some 'tenderness'."

Chen Yuan shuddered.

I've never seen a woman more miserable than Ji Ying in my entire life.

"I will bankrupt QingSui Power within a month."

After saying this, Gu Yanchen entered Cunmingfang.

...

Inside the car, it was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

“I need to go to the industrial park, thank you,” Ji Ying said.

The secretary driving did not respond.

"Miss Ji..."

Liang Jian's voice was actually quite pleasant to listen to, but Ji Ying's intuition about him wasn't very good, so her impression score wasn't high.

"...Have you known my third brother for a long time?"

Ji Ying blinked. "Why do you say that?"

"Your husband just happened to see you flirting with another man, and you ran to me. How afraid are you that he'll go after my third brother?"

He dissected Ji Ying's little scheme without the slightest embarrassment.

"Your brother is too weak, unlike you. It's only interesting when the strong compete against each other."

As soon as he finished speaking, Liang Jian suddenly grabbed her wrist with such force that he almost crushed her joints.

A sense of danger suddenly filled the air.

"To find a protector, it's best to act like a delicate flower. Miss Ji has a face like that; maybe she can win me over."

Ji Ying met his scrutinizing gaze, her eyelashes not trembling even slightly.

"President Liang has misunderstood. I only use this face to look in the mirror, not to please others."

"oh?"

Liang Jian narrowed his eyes.

Ji Ying's lips curled slightly, her eyes sparkling like cold stars.

"Only those who catch Gu Yanchen's eye are worthy of his attention. Do you want your father to think that only your younger brother has the ability?"

A turbulent undercurrent flickered in Liang Jian's eyes.

"Miss Ji, do you know how many times you should have died since you got on this bus?"

Her biggest mistake was letting him know that she had deliberately inquired about the Liang family's internal affairs.

But Ji Ying showed no fear, her gaze remaining calm.

"When doing business with someone, shouldn't you inquire about their situation? If I know something, I know it; if I don't, I don't. Do I have to feign compliance and secretly compete with you to prove that I have no ill intentions towards you?"

A faint fragrance lingered around her, like the scent of white plum blossoms bathed in moonlight on a snowy night, or the aroma of tea cooling in a celadon cup.

Liang Jian's gaze was so profound that he was momentarily lost in thought without being noticed by others.

However, after a short while, he released her hand and straightened his cuffs.

"Miss Ji is the first person to tell me a lie, yet I love hearing it."

"Is that a compliment?" Ji Ying asked.

Liang Jian closed his eyes briefly. "Thick-skinned women aren't popular."

"I'm not looking for you to date, and I don't need you to like me."

As she spoke, she took out some cookies from her bag.

After fasting for three days, the body lacks nutrition and gets hungry very easily.

She took a piece and, out of politeness, asked, "Would you like some?"

Liang Jian's calm mask-like face began to crack, and a thin layer of ice formed in his eyes.

"You bought things for Liang Yanchuan, but instead of giving them to him, you gave them to me to eat?"

Ji Ying: "..."

Sensitive men have no friends.

"It's just a polite remark, don't take it seriously."

Liang Jian: "..."

So, Ji Ying ate the biscuits all the way to the entrance of Qing Sui Power.

"Thank you, Mr. Liang. Take care."

Because I still don't want to see him again, I won't say goodbye.

The sound of the car door closing brought a brief smile to Liang Jian's displeased expression.

The secretary whispered, "Mr. Liang, you're quite lenient with this Miss Ji."

Liang Jian regained his composure. "Gu Yanchen doesn't have many weaknesses. Fortunately, he still has a woman he cares about."

The secretary didn't understand. "Isn't his stepsister the person he cares about most?"

Looking at the logo of Qing Sui Power, Liang Jian coldly ordered, "Go and investigate the Third Young Master's connections in China."

The secretary paused for a moment, "Was it four years ago?"

Liang Jian didn't answer, so that's it.

The secretary said, "Four years ago, the third young master crashed into Chairman Liang's car, was seriously injured and lost his memory, and was sent to the United States. But Chairman Liang has already investigated his past here, hasn't he? The orphanage in Lan City next door has his records, but they are incomplete."

"So you really believe the incomplete records were destroyed in the fire?" Liang Jian asked.

The secretary, who had known him for quite some time, immediately lowered her head and said, "I'll investigate in another way."

A sinister look crept onto Liang Jian's face. "Be smart. As long as I find out he lied to my father, I can turn his real son into a fake one and make him wish he were dead."

...

Just as Ji Ying entered Qing Sui Power, Xiao Xia walked over, looking dejected.

"Six partners just called me, wanting to terminate their cooperation immediately."

Ji Ying's gaze darkened for a moment. "I've dragged you into this."

Xiao Xia was mentally prepared. "The moment I sent you the photos, I knew I would share your hardships. If we terminate the cooperation, the other party will have to pay a penalty. Even if we don't have any income, the penalty will be enough to support us for two months."

"But will the other party pay you the penalty for breach of contract immediately?" Ji Ying asked.

She knows Gu Yanchen too well.

Men are adept at slowly boiling a frog in water, extinguishing her hope and then slowly torturing her.

Qing Sui Power was his first target.

Xiao Xia was stumped by her question, but she wasn't pessimistic.

“I contacted some clients from other places. A relatively large company is interested in our technology. If we can reach an agreement, QingSui will have no problem maintaining operations. I will continue to look for clients later.”

Ji Ying thought for a moment and said, "I'll go with you to talk, but before that, I need to verify something."

Xiao Xia asked curiously, "What's wrong?"

Ji Ying picked up the phone and dialed.

Someone answered the phone quickly.

Liang Yanchuan's voice sounded more like Lin Yan's on the phone.

"Vice President Liang, things are a bit urgent today. How about I thank you in another way?"

But Liang Yanchuan's attitude was very cold. "Mrs. Gu, this little matter can be put behind us."

After he finished speaking and was about to hang up, Ji Ying immediately said, "Actually, I wanted to consult you about some legal issues related to divorce."

The other end of the line didn't hang up, but remained silent.

Ji Ying sniffed. "My husband only accepts widows. I... I'm desperate."

"Address?" Liang Yanchuan asked.
