Chapter 112 I'll Slap You
Ji Ying's patience was not what it used to be, and she twitched her lowered hand.
"Is there anyone in this world dirtier than Miss Guo?"
"What did I say about you!"
Guo Ying stepped forward to hit her.
Gu Yanchen frowned and called out, "Alright!"
Guo Ying was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at him, and said aggrievedly, "She insulted me."
Gu Yanchen's tone softened considerably. "You all go out for a bit. I have something to say to her."
Guo Ying was unwilling to give up, but Wen Lingxue said softly, "They are husband and wife, and we are outsiders. Let them talk."
She then looked at Gu Yanchen and asked, "Brother, shall I put your shirt on for you?"
Gu Yanchen nodded.
Her fingers traced the buttons of his shirt, as if brushing against the outline of his chest, but then hovered appropriately half an inch above the fabric, as if she were truly being proper.
Ji Ying felt no emotion and looked away.
Wen Lingxue pulled Guo Ying away, leaving only Gu Yanchen and Ji Ying in the study.
"Is Mrs. Gu happy to see me like this?" Gu Yanchen asked with a half-smile.
"What you're like is none of my business. When are we going to get a divorce?"
Gu Yanchen stood up and walked towards her with some difficulty.
Ji Ying tried to get away from him, but he grabbed her waist and pinched her chin with his other bandaged hand.
"You can flirt with Liang Jian, but I can't have someone to take care of me?"
She and Liang Jian?
That's a wonderful imagination.
However, Ji Ying did not intend to explain.
She suppressed her physical discomfort towards him, raised an eyebrow and said, "Since President Gu has already found someone better, let's get a divorce quickly."
Gu Yanchen snorted coldly, "This is not up to you to decide."
Ji Ying's eyes sharpened. "You've already found someone else, so why haven't you divorced? Is it because this Miss Guo is too pleasing to you, and you're unwilling to sacrifice her as a shield for your sister?"
Gu Yanchen increased the pressure on his hand, his knuckles turning white.
Ji Ying gritted her teeth and remained silent.
A moment later, Gu Yanshen released his hand and smiled teasingly, "Don't mess with me. When I'm in a better mood, I'll naturally take you to the Civil Affairs Bureau."
Ji Ying spat out three words through gritted teeth, “You’re despicable!”
Afterwards, Ji Ying got her car keys and left that disgusting place without stopping.
As soon as she left, Guo Ying rushed into the study.
"What is it about this woman that makes you so reluctant to let go?"
Gu Yan sat in his chair, his back aching from exhaustion, but he still looked at her slowly and deliberately, "Make the most of everything, understand?"
Guo Ying smiled, turned around and squatted down in front of him.
"I can give you more than she can give you."
Gu Yanchen also laughed, "But I didn't see even a hint of sincerity from Miss Guo."
Guo Ying understood what he meant and placed his hand on her chest, saying, "I'll show you my softness and sincerity soon."
Then, press his hand down.
Just then, the sound of medicine bottles clattering came from the doorway.
Wen Lingxue stood at the door looking completely bewildered.
Gu Yanchen abruptly withdrew his hand and said nonchalantly, "Come in and change the dressing."
Guo Ying glared at Wen Lingxue with displeasure...
...
Ji Ying returned to work at Qing Sui Power a day later.
Xiao Xia asked her anxiously, "I couldn't reach you on the phone yesterday, where did you go?"
Ji Ying said, "I'm in a bad mood, so I turned off my phone and stayed home to sleep."
Xiao Xia sighed, "Humanity has always been an era of the survival of the fittest, truly leaving no way for ordinary people to survive."
Ji Ying understood the implication in her words, "Is there another problem with the cash flow?"
“No, not at all,” Xiao Xia handed her a peeled apple. “Once the partners for the new energy heavy truck battery business are finalized, Qing Sui can maintain normal expenses without any problem. However, if we want to do more in-depth research and development, we will need more money. In order to expand Qing Sui, we may need to try financing.”
Ji Ying thought for a moment and nodded, "I'm not as good at business as you are. If you think it's good for the company, then go ahead and do it."
"So, about the heavy-duty truck battery contract..." Xiao Xia leaned closer, "Have you decided which company to sign with?"
Ji Ying never expected that she would entrust her with such an important decision-making power.
“What is your suggestion…” she asked.
Xiao Xia pushed a document titled "Introduction to Xueqiong Titanium Energy Group" in front of her.
"The most suitable company would have been the heavy truck company under the Chenxi Group, followed by Qingshan Heavy Industry. But I hold grudges, so I'm not considering either of those companies. This company, on the other hand, has been developing overseas for the past few years and only recently shifted its business back to China."
Ji Ying nodded. "If you think it's good, then talk to them."
Xiao Xia glanced at the time. "Why don't you go outside and meet someone first?"
"Who is it?" Ji Ying asked, puzzled.
Xiao Xia gestured with her chin toward the hall, "Your Ayan came yesterday afternoon but didn't see you, so you're here again today. What if you want to give the Liang family a chance?"
Ji Ying hurried to the front desk.
Liang Yanchuan was sitting in the reception hall, flipping through a document.
The light from the overhead lamp fell on him, highlighting his sharp features, neat short hair, and meticulous eyes and brows.
For a moment, Ji Ying was in a daze. He was no longer Lin Yan, but the young master of the Liang family.
She composed herself and sat down in the single sofa opposite him.
Upon seeing her, Liang Yanchuan immediately stood up nervously, his gaze urgently scanning her body. "I called you and found out you blocked me. Are you hurt? Did he... force you?"
Ji Ying didn't answer directly. Instead, she lowered her voice and asked him, "Aren't you afraid that the Liang family will find out that you haven't lost your memory at all?"
Liang Yanchuan slumped back onto the sofa. "If it weren't for saving Grandpa, you wouldn't have married Gu Yanchen. I feel very guilty about this marriage."
“Lin Yan is dead,” Ji Ying said calmly, as if she were talking about the weather. “Liang Yanchuan has no need to feel guilty.”
Liang Yanchuan was somewhat agitated, leaning forward, "Gu Yanchen is clearly making things difficult for you by dragging out the divorce. Yingying, don't waste time with him, let me..."
Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly noticed that Ji Ying was looking in one direction and her face darkened.
Liang Yanchuan followed her gaze, and his pupils contracted sharply.
Wen Lingxue smiled at Ji Ying, "Did I disturb your date, sister-in-law?"
"I have my own plans regarding the divorce. You can go now."
Ji Ying left him and got up to walk over.
Wen Lingxue smiled and continued, "Sister-in-law, you're really something. You've got both of the Liang family's young masters under your control."
The next second, *smack!*
A slap landed on Wen Lingxue's face.
"Why did you hit me?" she asked in surprise.
Ji Ying said calmly, "Remember, this time I'm just asking you to eat a slap. If you come to Qingsui again next time, I'll have the security guards make you eat a toilet mop."
Wen Lingxue covered her face, her lips twitching as she suppressed her anger and said, "This lousy place of yours, if my brother hadn't asked me to come and teach you how to change your dressing, I wouldn't have wanted to come."
As he spoke, he tossed her the medicine box he was holding.
“My brother hasn’t changed his medication yet. He’s going to a private dinner hosted by Professor Guo at the Ruiyin Garden Hotel tonight. He wants you to find him at the dinner.”
Dinner?
It's probably a trap.
A layer of unfathomable mist settled over Ji Ying's eyes.
...
In the evening, Ji Ying, dressed in ordinary clothes and carrying a medicine box, appeared at the hotel entrance on time.
Wen Lingxue had been waiting for a long time.
Seeing her approach, he raised his chin and said, "Today is an exclusive dinner for elites in the field of new energy research and development. My brother said you definitely couldn't get in without an invitation, so he specially sent me to pick you up."
Ji Ying heard the sarcasm in her words and smiled faintly, "Miss Wen, you failed to rise to the top and ended up as a watchdog instead?"
Wen Lingxue's calm mask almost cracked.
She gritted her teeth and said, "Don't be so smug. Guo Ying invited your classmates to tonight's dinner. Remember those guys who always 'accidentally' knocked over your plates in the cafeteria?"
Memories flashed through my mind in an instant.
Ji Ying's eyes suddenly turned cold.
Seeing this, Wen Lingxue smiled and said, "Please, sister-in-law."
Third-floor glass corridor.
Just as Xue Qin was about to push open the door to the private room, he caught a glimpse of a familiar figure walking into the lobby on the first floor.
He hesitated for a moment, then turned to look at the man beside him who was slowly adjusting his cufflinks. "Boss, are you really not going to get involved?"
