Chapter 288 Pressure from Liang Yizhi's Family
"Miss Ji, hello, I am Shen Ruofu."
Ji Ying grabbed Liang Yizhi's clothes.
The man was buttoning his shirt when the fabric tugged at the gauze on his back, and he hissed softly.
Ji Ying ignored him and replied in a deep voice on the phone, "What's wrong?"
“It’s like this,” Shen Ruofu’s voice was much lighter, “Your friend Xiao Xia meets the requirements for cell culture heart surgery, and her current physical condition is quite good. Please transfer her to Beijing as soon as possible.”
"Okay, I understand."
Ji Ying hung up the phone.
After last night, Xu Zhaoheng was probably feeling guilty, and he didn't even have the courage to talk to her.
However, Shen Ruofu's sudden change of attitude is somewhat intriguing.
“Wife,” Liang Yizhi’s voice was filled with grievance, “you hurt me.”
Ji Ying looked up at him and said, "I did it on purpose."
Liang Yizhi raised an eyebrow, seemingly somewhat surprised by her bluntness, which carried a hint of coquettishness.
Ji Ying gently tapped the tip of his nose, her tone half warning and half serious.
"Xiao Xia is my bottom line. If any of those women you've brought in dare to cause trouble and involve her again, I will not let them off easily."
Liang Yizhi grasped her fingers and chuckled softly, "I can't stop others from doing what they want, but I will never forgive them if they do anything to you."
Ji Ying brought him a coat and carefully put it on him.
"Go back to Beijing and continue your hospitalization. You can only be discharged when the doctor gives his approval."
This means that the conflict between the two has come to an end.
“Okay, I’ll do as you say.” Liang Yizhi readily agreed and immediately gave instructions, “I’ll arrange a medical charter flight, and we’ll return to Beijing with Xiao Xia this afternoon.”
Ji Ying nodded.
Around noon, the two arrived at Tianhe Yunjing.
As soon as I entered, I saw Liang Yanchuan bringing dishes out of the kitchen.
He had clearly come directly from the company, but he had taken off his suit jacket. His crisp white shirt was adorned with a neatly tied tie, and his sleeves were rolled up to his forearms, revealing a slender, strong wrist.
After not seeing him for a month or two, his aura had changed drastically.
Although he was helping his mother set the table, his demeanor was gentle and reserved, but the composure and authority of someone in a high position in the group had already subtly permeated his every move.
Upon seeing Ji Ying, he quickly came to greet her.
He first respectfully addressed him as "Second Uncle," then smiled and said to Ji Ying, "What time did you arrive yesterday? You didn't even say you were coming back. If Mom hadn't run into you, would you have left quietly again?"
Ji Ying smiled faintly, "I came back because of Xiao Xia's matter, and I have to leave this afternoon."
Upon learning that there had been progress in Xiao Xia's case, Liang Yanchuan felt much relieved, as he had been worried about her.
Lin Meizhen came out of the kitchen, took off her apron and said, "Why are you still standing and talking? Aren't you all hungry? Hurry up and sit down."
The dining table at Tianhe Yunjing was round, and Ji Ying sat down next to Lin Meizhen.
"Ayan, go and get the jewelry box I put in the safe."
Liang Yanchuan was surprised that his mother had bought jewelry for Ji Ying behind his back, and he went to get it without knowing why.
Lin Meizhen placed the jewelry box in Ji Ying's hands.
“You’ve been with our Lin family for quite some time now. When you got married the first time, the old man was seriously ill and the family was in dire straits. We couldn’t prepare anything for you. Although we didn’t have a wedding with Mr. Liang this time, I should still prepare a small gift for you.”
Ji Ying opened the jewelry box, inside was a set of three gold pieces.
She was somewhat surprised.
According to wedding customs, the three gold pieces should be prepared by the groom's family.
Liang Yizhi's gaze fell on the gold jewelry, and he instantly understood Lin Meizhen's intention.
"This is my fault. There are still many things that haven't been dealt with properly, so my wedding with Yingying has to be postponed. But I promise to give her a grand wedding."
Lin Meizhen smiled meaningfully at his words.
“Mr. Liang may not know that before Yingying came to our Lin family at the age of 13, she escaped from a pervert and walked dozens of kilometers to Kunshi, where she made a living by picking up garbage for half a year.”
She pursed her lips.
“I’m not saying this to get your sympathy. I want you to know what she’s been through. Even my son might not have been able to go through what she went through.”
She looked at Liang Yizhi as if a mother were entrusting her precious child to her care.
"However, Mr. Liang is a very perceptive person. I am very reassured that you treat her sincerely."
Liang Yizhi nodded, "Aunt Lin, I will be good to her for the rest of my life."
Liang Yanchuan stood to the side, like a lifeless sculpture.
The girl he took in at 13, the girl he persuaded his mother and grandfather to let stay; the girl he faked his death to return to the Liang family, fighting desperately in the bloody infighting to gain a foothold in the Liang family, just to give her a better life... At this moment, his mother is handing her over to another man.
She ultimately distanced herself completely from his world, and that last shred of humble hope became an unfulfilled dream.
Lin Meizhen nodded in satisfaction after receiving Liang Yizhi's assurance, and then called out, "Ayan, don't stand there, sit down quickly. This whole table of food was prepared by me personally for Yingying and her husband, please start eating."
"Thank you, Aunt Lin," Ji Ying said.
She understood why Lin Meizhen insisted on having her come to this meal.
The "three gold pieces" in her hand were not just a gift, but also a form of pressure that her "family" put on Liang Yizhi.
During his trip to Kun City, Liang Yizhi did not contact his family. After lunch, he and Ji Ying took a medical charter flight back to Beijing.
At the Beijing Municipal Hospital, Xiao Chang had already made all the arrangements. As soon as Xiao Xia's medical plane arrived, she was seamlessly transferred to the pre-prepared cardiac surgery intensive care unit.
Ji Ying urged Liang Yizhi to go to the ward immediately, but Liang Yizhi insisted on waiting until she saw Xiao Xia safely before returning with her.
Ji Ying was somewhat helpless and was about to persuade him when she saw Madam Shen rushing over. Their eyes met, and Ji Ying looked away first.
For some reason, Madam Shen felt a pang of pain in her heart.
She heard that Liang Yizhi had gone to Kunshi despite the doctor's advice and had now returned, so she immediately rushed over from home.
"Yizhi, you're ignoring the doctor's orders. Do you have a death wish?"
Her words were full of concern for him.
Just as Liang Yizhi was about to speak, Shen Ruofu walked over.
"Mom, what brings you here?"
Madam Shen's gaze fell on her, "Come and see Yizhi, what's wrong with you..."
Shen Ruofu pointed to Xiao Xia's ward, "Come and check on the patient's condition."
She came to check?
Ji Ying frowned slightly.
Shen Ruofu didn't say much before entering the intensive care unit with the doctors.
She analyzed the data professionally and calmly emphasized to the doctor, "Ms. Xiao's cell activity is key to heart transplantation; we must ensure her physical condition is maintained at its best..."
Before the words were even finished, the monitor suddenly emitted a piercing alarm.
The nurse cried out in alarm, "The patient's blood oxygen level has dropped drastically! Blood pressure is undetectable!"
Ji Ying and Xiao Chang rushed to the ward door at the same time, only to see Shen Ruofu calmly stopping the doctor from injecting adrenaline.
"Don't use it yet, it will affect her cells."
Her face was full of professionalism and composure.
"It's possible that the parameters of the implanted monitoring device are causing a rejection reaction with the patient's physical condition, triggering abnormal heart discharge. I need to adjust the core frequency."
After her intervention, Xiao Xia was indeed out of danger.
The attending physician sincerely praised, "It's all thanks to Director Shen's timely and professional handling."
At this moment, a slight sense of pride appeared on Madam Shen's face.
Shen Ruofu humbly wiped her sweat as she walked out of the ward.
No one realized that Xiao Xia's dramatic "critical illness" earlier was her doing.
She had to direct and act out this "turning the tide" drama under Ji Ying's watchful eye, so that Ji Ying would remember this favor.
Just as the Gu family manipulated Ji Ying back then, this "favor" will become a bargaining chip to control her.
At the same time, she was able to perfectly demonstrate her professional ability to remain calm under pressure in front of her mother and Liang Yizhi, which enhanced her personal image.
It's a win-win situation, practically perfect.
However, just as Shen Ruofu suppressed her triumphant elation and walked out of the ward, preparing to receive Ji Ying's gratitude...
"Smack!"
A slap landed unexpectedly and hard on her face!
The force was so great that it completely stunned her.
