Chapter 120 Let's go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to complete the formalities (Part 2)
Ji Ying lost her balance and fell onto his chest. Liang Yizhi reached out and supported her waist.
Although she had just "relyed" on him last night, Ji Ying's emotions were still fluctuating.
She composed herself before asking, "What does Mr. Liang mean by this?"
Liang Yizhi looked down at her, a faint smile playing on his lips. "Let's make a deal."
"A deal?" Ji Ying raised an eyebrow.
Liang Yizhi: "I'll help you get a divorce."
Ji Ying's eyelashes trembled slightly. "What's the price? What do you want from me?"
Liang Yizhi looked at her face, his gaze calm and still, but he remained silent.
Ji Ying recalled his mocking words, and a hint of sarcasm slowly rose in her eyes.
"Mr. Liang, is your wife aware of your 'good intentions'? Although you have ruined my reputation, I would never stoop so low as to sleep with another woman's husband just to get a divorce."
Liang Yizhi wasn't angry when he heard this. Instead, he smiled and said, "You've got the wrong idea. All I want is your... honesty."
Ji Ying stared at him for two seconds, then suddenly smiled.
"Honest? You don't think that by pulling me into your arms we can be 'honest' with each other, do you?"
After saying that, the smile on her face vanished, and her voice suddenly turned cold.
"Between you and me, there is nothing to reminisce about, nothing to be honest about, and there is no need for you to 'support' me like this!"
Just then, the elevator doors opened with a "ding".
Ji Ying forcefully pried his hands off and turned to leave.
Perhaps due to her restlessness, or perhaps because her high heels were unsteady, she stumbled as soon as she stepped out of the elevator.
Seeing that she was about to fall, Liang Yizhi rushed forward and caught her waist again.
His eyes were smiling, as if to say, "See, if I hadn't helped you, you would have fallen."
Ji Ying was getting a little too worked up by him, and bit her lip to slap his hand away, saying, "I don't need you to interfere!"
Despite her sharp tone, her ears turned red without her noticing.
She stopped looking at him and left quickly, almost as if fleeing.
As Liang Yizhi watched her back, which was clearly filled with shame and anger yet stubbornly maintained its composure, a hint of interest, which she herself did not notice, flashed in her eyes.
Just as they were about to continue walking out, Liang Yanchuan chased after them from another elevator.
"Second Uncle."
He jogged forward.
Liang Yizhi stopped and looked at him, his gaze deep and unfathomable. "Is something the matter?"
"I...I didn't mean to forget the past, it's just that the Liang family is very complicated, I..."
"When did you adopt her?" he interrupted Liang Yanchuan.
Liang Yanchuan paused for a moment before realizing that he was asking about Ji Ying.
“About 13 years ago, I saw her often looking for food in the trash can, so I took her home.”
Another year has passed.
He also remembered that the girl named Xiao Xia was a year younger, but the DNA test results showed that she was not the same person.
Liang Yizhi frowned almost imperceptibly.
"Second Uncle..." Liang Yanchuan was still thinking about his own affairs.
Liang Yizhi said calmly, "Liang Weiyue's family affairs are none of my business."
After saying that, he turned and walked away.
Liang Yanchuan breathed a sigh of relief. He had to go to the morgue immediately to send his grandfather's body to the funeral home.
In the parking lot, Liang Yizhi was about to get into his car when he ran into Liang Jian.
"Second Uncle, are you feeling unwell?" Liang Jian asked.
Liang Yizhi's expression was indifferent. "I came with a friend."
"Oh, I've come to get Dad his blood pressure medication."
After Liang Jian finished speaking, he bowed his head to him and continued walking towards the outpatient building.
Liang Yizhi paused for a moment, then called out to him, "Have you always wanted to cooperate with Qing Sui?"
Liang Jian paused for a moment, then nodded.
Liang Yizhi: "Ji Ying's family has some issues lately."
"What is it?" Liang Jian asked, his eyes wide.
"I've also told Liang Yanchuan. Go check it out yourself."
After saying that, he got into the car and left, leaving Liang Jian completely confused.
When did my second uncle start enjoying watching his brothers fight amongst themselves?
The Hongqi L5 drove away from the hospital.
Xue Qin glanced at the rearview mirror several times, and finally couldn't help but ask, "Boss, you made an exception this time to cover for the Third Young Master because of Miss Ji?"
Liang Yizhi remained silent, and the car was completely quiet.
Xue Qin thought for a moment, then realized that his boss wasn't the type to let love cloud his judgment.
"Do you suspect that Miss Ji conspired with the Third Young Master to deliberately arouse your suspicion about her identity? Once you believe that she is the person you are looking for, she can use this identity to pave the way for the Third Young Master and help him gain the upper hand in the struggle with the Eldest Young Master. So you are now letting the Eldest Young Master get involved so that you can observe the situation from the sidelines?"
Xue Qin waited for a long time but still received no response, so he simply rolled up his sleeves and said, "Why bother with all this trouble? I'll go and pull out a few strands of her hair for DNA testing."
"Okay, go ahead."
This time, Liang Yizhi answered crisply and quickly, picking up where he left off in less than a second.
Xue Qin, “…”
A woman who's ruthless enough to murder her own husband, would he dare to mess with that old lady?
He then chuckled sheepishly, "I was just saying it offhand, and you actually took it seriously."
...
Hospital, ward.
When Gu Yanchen woke up, he found that the old lady was watching over him.
He endured the soreness in his muscles and struggled to sit up.
"Where is Ji Ying?" he asked.
The old woman said expressionlessly, "She wanted to kill you, and you still can't let her go?"
Gu Yanchen looked distressed. "She was forced into it by me."
The old lady snorted and tossed him a resolution.
"Take a look at what happened at the company while you were unconscious for the past two days."
The content of this board resolution is roughly as follows:
Given the significant uncertainty surrounding Mr. Gu Yanchen's health condition, the Board of Directors has decided, after deliberation, that a professional management team will temporarily assume his duties in the company's operations, effective immediately. Simultaneously, Mr. Gu Yanchen will be reassigned as Vice President.
"For Ji Ying's sake, you made Yang Sao abort the child. These days, your father has been assisting Gu Yi, lobbying the board of directors, and frequently trying to win over the company's veteran executives. These are people who followed your grandfather in building the empire and have a significant influence in the company. Although we still hold enough shares to control the company's decisions, we cannot accept the consequences of their collective defection."
The old lady's usually sharp and piercing eyes seemed to have lost all their majesty, leaving only a deep, dark look of pain.
“You were just taken to the hospital when Ji Ying spread the news of your critical condition throughout the city. Now Gu Yi has been promoted to the company’s vice chairman, and you have lost your decision-making power in the company. If you are still obsessed with that woman, then my family and I can expect to be kicked out of the Gu family.”
However, Gu Yanchen stared at the resolution, his brows furrowed, but he remained silent.
"Yan Chen," the old lady's voice trembled, "divorce Ji Ying. Only by keeping the company can you have everything."
“But Grandma,” Gu Yanchen said painfully, “if I divorce her, it will be very difficult for her to belong to me again.”
The old lady had never seen her grandson so muddle-headed and depraved. She was furious and couldn't hold back, so she went up and slapped him across the face.
"Old Master Lin was killed by our Gu family. With this blood feud standing between us, do you really think she still has any feelings for you?"
The old lady revealed a reality that Gu Yanchen had no choice but to face.
His uninjured hand gripped the board resolution tightly, his knuckles turning white and veins bulging, as if he were fighting against some excruciating pain that was crushing his lungs.
Seeing this, the old lady breathed a slight sigh of relief and closed her eyes wearily. "If you are willing to go along with her wishes, perhaps there is still a glimmer of hope between you two."
"Is today the old man's funeral?" Gu Yanchen asked, forcing back his pain.
...
cemetery.
The burial ceremony for Mr. Lin was very simple.
Only Ji Ying and Lin Meizhen wore mourning clothes, while the two Liang brothers had black armbands wrapped around their arms.
Liang Jian was particularly attentive, and after Ji Ying finished kowtowing, he gently helped him up.
Gu Yanchen sat in the car, looking at him, and found him particularly annoying.
Chen Yuan pushed the wheelchair over, and he got out of the car and sat in it.
He was too weak to walk the 100-meter distance from the roadside to the cemetery.
However, when Ji Ying saw him, there was not a trace of pity in her eyes.
“We are currently holding a funeral. If Mr. Gu still wants to use divorce to ‘torture’ me, perhaps we should do it another day.”
“Yingying,” Gu Yanchen’s Adam’s apple bobbed twice, his voice hoarse, “Let’s go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to complete the formalities.”
