Chapter 33 Mrs. Gu, you have such a great figure
"Has Director Wu maintained adequate relationships within the prison?"
Ji Ying unexpectedly splashed water all over the other person's face.
"You're just a man-pleasing thing, you think you're so great?"
Wu Desheng threw his teacup at Ji Ying and stood up angrily.
The teacup slammed heavily against Ji Ying's hand, leaving a bruise.
The village chief, mindful of Ji Ying's status, quickly advised, "Second brother, women always need to be taught a lesson; don't stoop to her level."
Wu Desheng knew that Ji Ying was here today as Mrs. Gu, so he definitely couldn't touch her.
However, the woman who was so powerful in his hands had not yet been born.
"Yes, you should talk to her husband about this. I want to see if he'll give up business interests for this idiot woman."
Ji Ying gritted her teeth, a faint smile on her face, "Will his signature be enough?"
The Wu brothers left with just a comment: "See if this works."
Ji Ying's back, which she had barely managed to straighten, bent over.
In fact, she believed that Gu Yanchen would choose the latter without hesitation, given the choice between her own interests and the interests of the group.
...
When Ji Ying returned to Platinum Bay that evening, Gu Yanshen had arrived just ten minutes earlier than her.
Gu Lingxue pulled him to sit in the living room, insisting that he finish eating the fruit before going to the study.
Gu Yanchen has been getting a bit irritable these past few days because of Ji Ying's antics, and he's feeling restless and irritable no matter what he does.
Just as they were eating, Ji Ying came in.
She glanced at the two people sitting side by side on the sofa and prepared to go upstairs, but Gu Yanchen called out, "Stop."
The man was in a bad mood, and his voice was somewhat sharp.
Ji Ying paused, turned around and looked at him, "You need an audience to show off your love, otherwise you won't be interested?"
Gu Yanchen's face darkened.
Gu Lingxue quickly got up. "Sister-in-law, I also prepared some fruit for you. Wait a moment, I'll go get it."
Ji Ying scoffed, "Don't be polite, I'm afraid you'll poison me, so I don't dare to eat it."
Gu Lingxue was in an awkward position, unsure whether to leave or stay.
"If you're angry, don't take it out on her."
Dissatisfied, Gu Yanchen walked towards her.
Gu Lingxue quickly grabbed his arm.
"Brother, it's okay to be angry because your wife was molested. It's a stain on her reputation for life. Now she has to put up with it. I'm fine."
Upon hearing this, Ji Ying immediately understood that they not only knew what had happened that afternoon, but had also made a decision.
What angers her even more now is that Gu Yanchen not only chose the interests of the group, but also involved Gu Lingxue in her affairs.
"Yeah, you should get a megaphone and constantly remind your brother that I've been molested and that I'm no longer as innocent as you, so he can kick me out sooner."
"I...I didn't..."
Gu Lingxue frowned, her hand trembling slightly as she covered her chest.
"Ji Ying!" Gu Yanchen was furious and grabbed her hand. "It has nothing to do with her. Don't provoke her anymore."
Gu Yanchen grabbed the bruise.
He hit her hard, and Ji Ying gasped in pain.
Gu Yanchen then noticed the bruises on her hands and loosened his grip slightly.
"Who did this?"
Taking this opportunity, Ji Ying shook off his hand, "What's it to you? Go and comfort your sister."
That night, she locked the bedroom door and bolted it.
Gu Yanchen was unable to enter and was seething with anger. The study light remained on until the early hours of the morning.
Gu Lingxue was also awake and brought him a glass of milk.
“Brother, I know you’re angry about your wife’s situation. Although Wu Desheng is not a threat, he has many connections. The company is also launching a new project. If we don’t get your wife to sign the settlement agreement, it will affect the company’s interests. I’m afraid those old-fashioned seniors on the board will make trouble again.”
She happened to be there when Chen Yuan came to report in the evening. Gu Yanchen did not ask her to leave, and she learned the whole story.
Having Ji Ying sign the reconciliation agreement is a solution that pleases everyone.
But Gu Yanchen did not respond to her words.
Gu Lingxue was sensible and did not continue to bother her.
Before leaving the study, she left behind a single sentence.
"If your sister-in-law cares about you, she will think of you."
As for why she said that, it's because she was confident that Ji Ying would never back down.
When Ji Ying went downstairs the next day, Gu Yanchen had not yet left.
Chen Yuan was also there.
The atmosphere in the living room was somber.
"Because of the settlement agreement with the Lin family, Wu Jialong has been released on bail pending trial. Wu Desheng's intention is that since his nephew's hands are already crippled, they won't pursue the matter further. They want his wife to sign the settlement agreement, and then everything will be settled. The district will approve the contract for our new project today."
Gu Yanchen remained silent, but Gu Lingxue appeared very angry.
"That guy surnamed Wu led the way in groping my sister-in-law. So many people have taken advantage of her, how dare they threaten my brother?"
Every word she spoke guided Ji Ying to recall the night she was surrounded by a group of thugs.
Although the bodyguards arrived quickly, she still suffered a loss.
I can't swallow this anger just thinking about it.
Chen Yuan lowered his voice and said to Gu Yanchen, "Wu Desheng is infertile, and Wu Jialong is the only son of the Wu family. He will definitely do everything he can to protect his nephew from having a criminal record, otherwise no one in the Wu family will be able to take over his position. He said that if you agree, you should go to 'Tingyuxuan' to sign a settlement agreement."
Gu Yanchen closed his eyes, stood up, grabbed Ji Ying's wrist, and led her away.
Tingyuxuan Private Room.
Wu Jialong was also there.
Wu Desheng glanced smugly at Ji Ying, then stood up with a fawning smile.
"I am truly sorry to have troubled you, Mr. Gu."
Gu Yanchen ignored his handshake and sat down opposite him.
Wu Desheng was embarrassed after being humiliated.
But since he brought the person to sign, there's no need to ruin the relationship.
“My nephew was in the wrong. I told him to apologize to Mrs. Gu. President Gu is a person of principle and worth befriending.”
Gu Yanchen's face remained expressionless. "Just because I flatter you, does that mean I have to accept it?"
Wu Desheng was taken aback. They weren't here to sign a settlement agreement?
Chen Yuan was sweating bullets. If President Gu refused to settle for his wife, the project would be doomed.
After a brief moment of thought, Wu Desheng gestured to his nephew, "Quickly, apologize to Mrs. Gu."
Wu Desheng stood in front of Ji Ying, licking his big yellow teeth, and looked at Ji Ying with a mocking gaze.
"Mrs. Gu, you have such a great figure. I was blind to your worth. I'm so sorry."
The words were laced with disrespect.
Ji Ying glanced at Gu Yanchen, whose face remained expressionless.
She lowered her eyes and picked up the settlement agreement from the table.
From Baijingyuan to the teahouse, she figured things out along the way.
Signing it would be unfair to myself.
If you don't sign, then you'll get Gu Lingxue's wish.
After weighing the options several times, despite my reluctance, I still had to sign the document.
Seeing that she had given in, Wu Jialong laughed and said, "Actually, this matter cannot be entirely blamed on me and the brothers. Mrs. Gu is quite soft-hearted. She is easily aroused by a man's touch. No man can resist her."
Even Chen Yuan couldn't stand these words.
"Mr. Wu, when you were released on bail, did you leave your place of re-education through labor in the detention center?"
Wu Jialong became even more shameless, "You want to hear elegant words, I understand. Women are meant to serve men, and Mrs. Gu's waist is definitely more alluring than the top courtesan at Yongnan Royal Palace."
After saying that, he burst into laughter.
