Chapter 71 A child's hatred separates them
Ji Ying felt a burning sensation in her throat and a wave of dizziness, but she gritted her teeth and said, "I can't afford Mr. Gu's water. You should save it for your stepsister."
He Qingshan raised an eyebrow instantly.
Gu Yanchen's eyes darkened, and he stood up.
"So whose drink do you prefer? Liang Jian's or Liang Yanchuan's?"
Ji Ying tried to maintain her balance and turned her face away, saying, "My preferences have nothing to do with President Gu."
Gu Yanchen got angry and left again.
But they hadn't gone far when their phone rang; it was Chen Yuan calling.
Just as Gu Yanshen put his phone to his ear, Ji Ying, who was standing by the table, suddenly felt dizzy and fainted.
"Yingying!"
"Mrs. Gu!"
Xiao Xia, He Qingshan, and the caddies present all gathered around.
Gu Yanshen was about to turn around when he heard Chen Yuan say on the phone, "Mr. Gu, Ms. Wen is emotionally unstable and stabbed Miss Wen. Miss Wen's depression has relapsed and she cannot take medication."
"What is my father doing?" Gu Yanchen pinched the bridge of his nose.
"Master Gong is away on a business trip today and is currently on a plane. We can't reach him."
"Drive the car over and pick me up."
Gu Yanchen forgot the sudden noise behind him and quickened his pace to leave.
As their car sped away from the golf course, an ambulance came towards them.
Chen Yuan asked instinctively, "I saw Miss Xiao return to the hotel last night with medicine in her hand. Could it be that your wife is sick?"
Gu Yanchen frowned, but remembering her strong-willed nature, he said ruthlessly, "She was in excellent spirits when she was with the Liang brothers. Even if she got sick, she wouldn't die. Don't worry about her."
...
Hospital.
Fortunately, she was taken to the hospital in time and did not develop heatstroke. Ji Ying woke up soon after.
Surprisingly, He Qingshan was still in the hospital room.
Gu Yanchen wasn't there. Ji Ying was about to bring up the cooperation when He Qingshan spoke first: "Mrs. Gu, Qing Sui Power's technology may be good, but it's not irreplaceable. I admire your drive, but there are many factors to consider, so I'm sorry to say this time, you should look for another company."
Xiao Xia became anxious. "President He, I know your company is looking for the best-performing energy storage batteries for heavy-duty trucks. Our technology has great potential. Don't you want to take a look? Giving us a chance is also giving your company a chance."
He Qingshan waved his hand, "Qingshan Heavy Industry prefers to work with companies that have harmonious families in the long term, and the relationship between Mrs. Gu and President Gu is obviously not suitable."
After exchanging pleasantries, Mr. He left.
Xiao Xia was overwhelmed by a sense of defeat.
"Excuses, all excuses! He and Gu Yanchen are business rivals, so why should we listen to him and not cooperate with us?"
"Gu Yanchen's strength is evident to all. Even though there is business competition, it is best not to make enemies. President He's meaning is already very clear: our technology has not impressed him to the point that he can disregard Gu Yanchen's reputation."
Xiao Xia excitedly grasped her hand, "He made a judgment about our technology without even looking at it, clearly looking down on your status as Mrs. Gu and thinking that you can only depend on Gu Yanchen."
Ji Ying wasn't annoyed, but a sharp glint flashed in her eyes.
"Then I'll destroy that identity myself, so he can't possibly reach it."
"So what do you plan to do?"
Ji Ying thought for a moment, "At this time of year, Gu Yanchen usually attends an important new energy summit."
Xiao Xia: "It's the 'Core Energy Summit,' right? This summit is very prestigious, bringing together big names from all sides, and it's by invitation only. It's in a week."
"Will Qing Sui also be invited?" Ji Ying asked.
Xiao Xia's voice lacked confidence, "This year might be a bit difficult."
“It’s going to be difficult, but I’ll do it anyway. I might give him a second ‘big gift’ at this summit.”
In the afternoon, Ji Ying received a call from Lin Meizhen, who said that her grandfather had fallen ill in the ward and she needed to return immediately.
Ji Ying and Xiao Xia hurriedly returned to the hotel, packed their things, and headed to Kun City.
Just a few minutes after they left, a woman who looked like a secretary walked up to the front desk, took out a license plate number, and asked, "Excuse me, is this a car belonging to one of your hotel guests?"
The receptionist smiled politely, "I'm sorry, we cannot disclose customer privacy."
Less than a minute later, the manager rushed over and gestured for her to check immediately.
“It’s our guest’s car,” the receptionist said, staring at the computer. “They checked out ten minutes ago and should have left by now.”
The secretary returned to the car, somewhat dejected.
"She's gone, but I found her identity information."
The secretary handed over the documents.
“Ms. Xiao is 26 years old this year, the same age as Mrs. Ma, but the birthdate on her ID card does not match. However, she is the most compatible match we have found so far. The hotel staff said that they have urgent business to attend to and need to return to Kun City.”
The man's gaze remained fixed on the photograph, his expression calm.
"Apart from DNA, what real similarities exist in this world?"
The secretary quickly nodded, "Yes, it seems that Madam is indeed in the Kun City area. So... should Chairman Liang know that you are returning to Kun City this time?"
...
Ji Ying and the others rushed to Minghe Hospital.
Just as I reached the bottom of the inpatient building, I ran into Xiao Chang.
"Brother, do you work the night shift?" Xiao Xia asked in surprise.
Seeing Ji Ying's expressionless face, Xiao Chang knew that she must be aware of their relationship.
"We were just about to hand over the shift, and you've already finished your work so quickly?"
Xiao Xia gets angry whenever this is mentioned.
"Your good brother won't give our company a single chance to survive."
Xiao Chang fell silent.
Ji Ying was anxious to see her grandfather. "You two talk, I'm leaving."
"Ji Ying".
Xiao Chang called out to her and chased after her.
“I… Zhang Cheng was fired, and even small clinics don’t dare to hire him.”
Ji Ying raised an eyebrow. "So what was Dr. Xiao's purpose in telling me this? Was it to praise your brother for being smart and not easily fooled, or to commend your brother for acting like a decent person?"
"I didn't mean to speak up for Gu Yanchen, I just..."
Ji Ying snorted after he took so long to give his reason, then turned and left.
Xiao Xia asked curiously, "Brother, what deep-seated hatred do you have with Yingying that makes her hate you so much?"
She didn't know that there was a child's hatred between them.
"Children shouldn't pry into adult matters, and don't meddle in the Gu family's affairs. If you anger Gu Yanchen, I can't protect you either. Go home right now."
Ji Ying entered the ward, where her grandfather was receiving an IV drip with his eyes closed.
Upon seeing her, Lin Meizhen quickly got up, and the two went to the door.
"You were in such good spirits just a few days ago, how come you're suddenly hospitalized?" Ji Ying asked.
"It's all because of your wicked mother-in-law."
Lin Meizhen's voice trembled with anger.
"When she found out we lived in the same neighborhood, she started spreading rumors that we were haunting Gu Yanchen. Not only that, she even forced the property management to hand over our apartment number..."
Lin Meizhen pointed out the photos taken this morning.
“Look, this morning she put up a banner downstairs and cursed you, and even used a megaphone to shout that you stole her daughter’s marriage and abused her in-laws! The whole neighborhood was cursing us, and your grandfather almost had a heart attack from anger.”
Ji Ying stared intently at the photo and saw a banner that read: "[Slut drugged and forced her way into bed; prostitute repaired her hymen to marry into a wealthy family]"
