Chapter 141 Some men can't live without the world of pleasure.
Lin Meizhen's gaze toward her gradually turned to surprise.
"The Liang family? The Liang family that Kunshi claims to be third, and that no one except Gu Yanchen dares to claim to be second?"
Wen Lingxue nodded, "Didn't your adopted daughter tell you anything?"
Lin Meizhen immediately covered her mouth and laughed, "She'd love to, but what kind of life is that? She's married to Gu Yanchen, which is considered marrying into a higher social class. She'll have to take the blame for all the dirty deeds of the Gu family."
Lin Meizhen deliberately lowered her voice as she said this.
"Your cousin is absolutely indiscriminate; he'll even gnaw on any grass near his nest that's stained with excrement. My Yingying really thinks he's disgusting, but she can't get a divorce from him. Can't you believe it?"
Wen Lingxue tried her best to control herself and prevent the mask on her face from cracking.
Lin Meizhen seemed to realize that her words were inappropriate, paused for a moment, and then said with a forced smile, "Little sister, you won't be angry if I say that, will you?"
"No." Wen Lingxue forced a smile.
Lin Meizhen was delighted and went even further, saying, "His stepsister... I've never seen such a shameless woman. She clearly treats ethics as fun. Those two beasts should be locked up, so they won't come out and disgust normal people. Don't you think so?"
Wen Lingxue couldn't listen anymore. "Auntie, I have to go pay my respects to my mother. I'll be leaving now. Let's talk another day."
After saying that, she hurriedly disappeared beyond the rows of tombstones.
Lin Meizhen's smile widened as her figure disappeared from sight.
"You little bitch, do you think I don't know you? You want to harm my Yingying? No way!"
...
Ji Ying went to the cemetery in the afternoon.
She had just placed a bouquet of white chrysanthemums in front of Old Master Lin's grave when she looked up and saw Liang Yanchuan.
She didn't greet him warmly, but only gave a cold smile, "Didn't you decide to leave two or three days ago? Did you suddenly become reluctant to leave your father?"
Liang Yanchuan remained calm, his fingers unconsciously fidgeting with the cuff of his coat. "My father entrusted me with the company's strategic projects; before that, Liang Jian had been in charge."
“Oh,” Ji Ying chuckled, “In the end, she still can’t bear to give up the Liang family’s wealth and status.”
“Yingying, no.” Liang Yanchuan’s voice was filled with suppressed emotion.
Ji Ying shrugged. "The Liang family can give you the 'face' that you've always wanted, so it's understandable that you're reluctant to let go."
After saying that, Ji Ying bowed to Old Master Lin's tombstone and turned to leave.
Liang Yanchuan gazed at the undulating mountains in the distance, but still did not immediately tell her the truth.
One reason is that they don't know how Madam Liang will deal with Ji Ying.
Secondly, she already has enough troubles, and he doesn't want to add any more pressure to her.
But then he remembered something and shouted, "Ji Ying!"
Ji Ying stopped in her tracks.
Liang Yanchuan said, "Don't associate with Liang Jian anymore. The Liang family is no place for a human being."
Ji Ying turned to look at him, "Don't worry, I don't care about anything from the Liang family, including the people."
Liang Yanchuan, "..."
When Ji Ying returned to Qing Sui, it was almost six o'clock.
Xiao Xia came to her with the invitation card to discuss it.
"Tomorrow, Blackstar Technology will be launching its smart home experience system at the convention center. I heard they're even using several rooms for a 1:1 scale display. They invited QingSui, but I have clients to meet tomorrow and can't go. Could you represent the company?"
Ji Ying took the invitation card and asked, "How come you happen to have clients again?"
“It’s true,” Xiao Xia hugged her, “Who made Yingying pout like that?”
Ji Ying calmed down and leaned against her, saying, "It's so hard to live a normal life."
Xiao Xia raised an eyebrow, "My family is very ordinary, so will you marry my brother?"
Ji Ying, “?”
Xiao Xia said, "To be honest, I did consider introducing you to my brother back then. You know he bullied me since we were little, so sending you into the 'enemy camp' was practically giving myself a cheat code! It's a pity you had Lin Yan by your side at that time, and later you even married Gu Yanchen... Sigh!"
She blinked, then changed the subject: "But if you want to turn back now, I'm still willing to play matchmaker for you two."
Ji Ying stood up and poked her forehead. "You've got abacus beads flying into my face. Keep dreaming."
...
The press conference is at 2:30 pm.
Ji Ying planned to arrive right on time, but received a text message from Liang Jian at noon.
She was asked to go to Black Star Company, but the specifics were not explained.
Remembering that he had helped her last time, Ji Ying greeted Xiao Xia and went there without even having lunch.
This time, after she gave her name, the receptionist very attentively escorted her to the 17th floor, and then left the door of Liang Yizhi's office.
Ji Ying didn't know whether she should go in herself, so she called Liang Jian, but the line was busy.
So she gently pushed the door open.
Inside was a large office, so quiet it was almost oppressive.
Ji Ying looked around and found that there was no one there at all.
Just as I was about to leave, I heard a woman's voice.
She subconsciously took a few steps inside before noticing a half-closed hidden door on the wall next to the desk.
A room that resembles a lounge.
Liang Jian lay half-naked on the white bed.
His secretary wasn't wearing a coat; the outline of her black bra was clearly visible beneath her white silk shirt.
The woman sat on the edge of the bed, her black bodycon skirt clinging to Liang Jian's muscular waist, but Liang Jian made no move to move away.
Ji Ying was surprised for a moment and wanted to quietly retreat, but her injured foot made it difficult to exert any force.
Afraid that moving even a step would make a noise and disturb them, he stood there stiffly.
"Mr. Liang, although smart home is not the group's main business, since Chairman Liang has tacitly approved of your high-profile efforts, he is obviously giving you an opportunity. As long as you can prove that you are stronger than Vice President Liang, the 'Xihe' project will eventually be back in your hands."
Liang Jian remained silent, letting his secretary place her hand on his back to ease the pain from changing his dressing.
Ji Ying looked away.
Workplace flirtations are nothing more than a transaction where each party gets what they want.
The secretary used her body to secure a stable job and a high salary.
People like Liang Jian are the best at striking a balance between interests and desires.
Ji Ying inexplicably thought of Gu Yanchen, and a hint of sarcasm appeared on her lips.
These four years of marriage were probably a "clean" period in his life. At least, apart from her and Wen Lingxue, he hadn't set his sights on his female secretary.
Some men can't live without the world of romance.
The sounds from inside the break room continued.
"Vice President Liang is nothing but an illegitimate child; his education and experience are simply inadequate..."
As the secretary spoke, she leaned down against him seductively.
Liang Jian suddenly raised his hand, making a gesture to stop him.
"Alright," Liang Jian's voice was low, but carried an undeniable coldness, "No matter what my brother is like, it's none of outsiders' business to judge. My secretary should know better than anyone else how to behave."
"I'm sorry, Mr. Liang."
Liang Jian pushed her away and sat up by himself.
He looked up and suddenly saw Ji Ying standing outside.
