Chapter 132 Liang Yizhi's hand didn't support him.
"Ms. Guo, you've gone to so much trouble,"
Ji Ying took the drink, paused deliberately, and then said, "If Miss Guo is trying to conceive, it's best to stop drinking alcohol from now on."
Guo Ying was taken aback, but quickly nodded when she came to her senses.
During the conversation, the two glasses of juice had been quietly switched.
"I haven't touched this juice, if you don't mind..."
Ji Ying pushed another glass of juice on the table toward her, then raised her own.
"...I wish you and Vice President Gu a healthy baby soon."
Guo Ying was so happy that she forgot that she had given Ji Ying champagne when she left. She couldn't wait for Ji Ying to take the bait, so she immediately picked up the "safe" glass of juice and clinked glasses with Ji Ying.
The two tilted their heads back and drank it all, and Xiao Xia, quite opportunely, poured the champagne in her hand onto Guo Ying's dress.
"What are you doing?" Guo Ying immediately flew into a rage.
Ji Ying quickly said, "She didn't do it on purpose. I'll go upstairs with Miss Guo to change her clothes."
Guo Ying, who was determined to set up a trap, saw that Ji Ying was about to walk into it, so how could she refuse?
However, after entering the guest room, Guo Ying felt hot all over. Ji Ying suggested that she take a shower, and she, feeling dizzy and lightheaded, actually agreed.
Ji Ying opened the door, and Xiao Xia was already waiting at the door.
She tilted her head.
A waiter helped an old man into the room.
This old man is the husband of the woman named Lu Hua.
The waiter was very guilty. After delivering the person, he hurriedly said to Xiao Xia, "Miss, is this alright? I'll go and turn myself in right away. Miss Guo instructed me to do all of this, but it all turned out to be a mistake that harmed her. I have elderly parents and young children to support, so please keep your promise to me."
Xiao Xia waved her hand, and the waiter quickly disappeared into the stairwell.
"Don't pity him, he's the one who drugged your juice just now."
As she spoke, Xiao Xia smiled again.
"Secretary Xue really knows how to scare people."
A faint smile appeared on Ji Ying's face. "Let's go, this isn't over yet."
Guo Ying had just taken off her clothes when she heard a noise outside, so she came out.
She bought something good; the old man had already stripped down to just his underwear.
Seeing her, I instantly felt like I was only eighteen years old...
Downstairs, the joyous birthday banquet, which had been in full swing, came to an abrupt end because of Guo Ying's disappearance.
The first person that Guo Guqing and his wife suspected was Ji Ying.
"It must be because you were jealous of my daughter that you killed her!"
As Guo's mother was about to step forward and grab Ji Ying's neck, Gu Yanchen coldly said, "If you can't find her, just call the police. Why do you have to do it yourself?"
Upon hearing this, Guo's mother froze.
Guo Guqing, a man who cared about his reputation, hurriedly said, "Yes, call the police and have them arrest this vicious woman."
As soon as he finished speaking, someone shouted from the crowd, "Second floor! Everyone, hurry to the second floor..."
Guo Guqing and his wife thought Guo Ying had appeared at the crime scene, so they immediately rushed upstairs.
The room from which the cooking sounds were coming from was not only not closed, but wide open.
Guo Ying's charm was fully appreciated by everyone.
"Old Wang, you bastard, you've been cheating on me with your friend's daughter..."
The woman named Lu Hua squeezed out of the crowd, saw this scene, and rushed in like a madwoman to beat up the two people who were cooking together.
At that moment, two policemen came up at the sound of the voice. "Who is Guo Ying?"
The helpful citizen quickly pointed inside.
The police officer frowned and strode into the room. "Guo Ying, you are suspected of purchasing illegal drugs, attempting to harm others, and engaging in group sex. Please come with us for investigation."
"It's over, the Guo family is finished."
Guo's mother screamed and fainted on the spot.
Guo Guqing's mask of "highly educated family tradition" has been torn off beyond repair, and from now on, he will find it difficult to gain a foothold not only in his circle of friends but also in society.
He looked at Gu Yanchen pleadingly.
But the man had a cold face and not only did he not go in to rescue Guo Ying, he turned around and left.
Ji Ying didn't join in the fun; instead, she left with Xiao Xia.
Xiao Xia went to get the car first, and then she limped to the door.
Just as I was about to go down the steps, my walking stick suddenly slipped.
Without hesitation, the hand behind her reached for her waist.
But Ji Ying steadied herself in time, and that hand neither touched nor supported her.
Liang Yizhi withdrew his hand and watched her leave without showing any emotion.
Xue Qin wanted to speak, but Liang Yizhi made a gesture to stop him.
At this moment, Xiao Xia drove the car over.
Just as Ji Ying was about to get into the car, someone suddenly called out from behind, "Ji Ying."
She turned around, and Huang Haoran had already jogged up to her.
"Our last meeting was too rushed, and I didn't have a proper chat with you. Could I treat you to a meal this time?"
"Is there anything else we can talk about?" Ji Ying asked calmly.
Huang Haoran looked ashamed: "Over the years I have been working hard to live a life that you can respect."
Ji Ying chuckled: "If you follow Guo Guqing, I will always look down on you."
She turned to leave, but was stopped.
"Didn't you want evidence that Guo Guqing plagiarized your academic work?" Huang Haoran said.
Ji Ying paused slightly.
Suddenly, it started to rain.
Huang Haoran quickly covered her with his hand.
"Tomorrow night at 7 PM, at the Wind Blue Restaurant, I'll give you the evidence. Get in the car quickly, don't get wet and catch a cold."
After saying that, he not only kindly helped her into the car, but also watched her leave.
Xue Qin watched from afar and suddenly raised an eyebrow. “Oh, what a coincidence, you have a business dinner at Fenglan Restaurant tomorrow night.”
Liang Yizhi gazed at the increasingly dense raindrops and asked in a light voice, "Have you been quite free lately?"
Xue Qin was taken aback and blurted out, "You don't like Miss Ji anymore?"
Liang Yizhi did not answer and left in another direction.
The next day, after getting off work at Qing Sui, Ji Ying went directly to Feng Lan Restaurant.
Because of her leg injury, she took a taxi.
Fenglan is a Japanese restaurant.
However, Ji Ying had difficulty walking, so the shopkeeper replaced her with a chair.
"How serious is the injury?" Huang Haoran asked with concern.
Ji Ying said calmly, "Let's get down to business."
Huang Haoran laughed, "You're still as vigilant as ever."
As he spoke, he sat down next to her.
"Yingying, if it weren't for Lin Yan, I should have had a chance, right?"
"It seems you're not sincere about getting down to business."
Ji Ying picked up her cane, got up, and walked outside.
“Ji Ying, as soon as you step out of this private room, I will destroy the evidence.”
Ji Ying stopped and turned to look at him.
Huang Haoran immediately played a recording, and Guo Guqing's voice was very clear.
"...This research result will be registered under your name, and we'll split the profits 50/50. If you don't agree, don't even think about getting your diploma."
The recording abruptly ended there.
Huang Haoran said, "I recorded every word Guo Guqing said to me. I was forced to accept his conditions back then, but I have suffered greatly all these years. He has gained fame and fortune from your achievements. Are you willing to accept that?"
Ji Ying gave a cold laugh. "Don't talk so righteously. What do you want from me?"
Huang Haoran paused for a moment, then dropped his indignant expression.
"Let's get straight to the point. Based on the data you left in the lab, we've successfully replicated a heavy-duty truck battery with performance similar to Qing Sui. Guo Guqing plans to continue promoting me, using me as a bargaining chip to sell to Gu Yanchen in exchange for the Guo family's profits. But this time, I want to cooperate with you. I'll join Gu Yanchen's team to secure core benefits for you, and we'll split the profits 50/50. How about it?"
Ji Ying laughed at his words, "I want Gu Yanchen's money, but I don't need to go through all this trouble. You're just worried that once the data I left behind is used up, you'll have no technical support left, and if you're exposed, Gu Yanchen will deal with you all by himself."
At this point, Ji Ying's smile faded.
“You and Guo Guqing are cut from the same cloth, and I’d love for you to reap what you sow right now.”
She turned and continued walking.
"No, don't go!"
Huang Haoran's suppressed emotions erupted instantly, and he lunged forward to grab her wrist.
Ji Ying quickly turned to the side and struck him hard in the face with her cane.
Huang Haoran covered his face, the last shred of reason in his eyes completely extinguished.
"If you don't agree today, don't even think about leaving this room!"
The bread room opposite.
Xue Qin pushed open the door and peeked inside. He then leaned close to Liang Yizhi's ear and whispered, "There was a lot of noise coming from inside just now. Should we go check it out?"
Liang Yizhi was socializing when he heard this and fell silent for a moment.
Just as he was about to speak, the Japanese-style door opposite him collapsed with a loud crash.
