Chapter 136 Ji Ying Launches the First Counterattack: He is a Forsaken Husband
Guo Guqing's motives were all too obvious.
He wanted to ruin Ji Ying's reputation, making her a laughingstock among the wealthy and abandoned woman, and completely destroying any possibility of her marrying back into high society.
Before Gu Yanchen could speak, a round of applause suddenly rang out from outside the door, and Gu Yi was pushed in in a wheelchair.
"It seems Professor Guo hates that woman to the core. I also think this suggestion is excellent, but I wonder if you, brother, are willing to let her go?"
Gu Yanshen knew that he was testing him.
If she refuses, Gu Yi can turn around and continue to harm Ji Ying, but if she agrees... Ji Ying's reputation will be ruined for life.
"What? If you can't bear to part with her, then bring your wife back," Gu Yi said with a smile when he saw that he hadn't spoken for a long time.
Gu Yanchen collected his thoughts and smiled faintly, "I was thinking that after announcing the divorce, we should be able to start preparing for the wedding."
Upon hearing this, Guo Guqing became agitated, "But President Gu, my daughter..."
Gu Yanchen waved his hand, "It's unlikely that your daughter can be completely exonerated now, but we can try to get her released on bail and then work out a suspended sentence, so she won't actually have to go to jail. I'll take care of her from now on, so even if she has a criminal record, she won't suffer because of it."
Guo Guqing was instantly moved. "Okay, okay, if that's the case, I'll have Haoran follow you and do a good job."
Gu Yi's smile froze on his face, and it took him a long time to recover.
"So it turns out that my brother's 'deep affection' for his wife was all an act," he sighed and shook his head. "He acted so well that he fooled us all."
Gu Yanchen ignored him and looked at Guo Guqing instead.
"Then it's settled. Huang Haoran will come work for me immediately. I will personally confirm the details of the divorce statement before it is released. As for your daughter..."
Gu Yanchen paused deliberately.
“I’ll use my connections to get her out of here so she can get pregnant as soon as possible and give me an heir.”
Guo Guqing was overjoyed and grasped Gu Yanchen's hand, "Good son-in-law, my Xiaoying has good taste, she didn't misjudge you."
The words "heir" pierced Gu Yi's ears like needles.
Gu Yi's expression instantly turned sour, but he still forced a smile and said, "Then congratulations, brother."
Gu Yanchen suppressed his disgust and withdrew his hand, his previous generous demeanor completely gone. "If that's the case, I should get back to work."
"Okay, son-in-law, you go ahead with your work. I'll wait for Xiaoying to come home."
Guo Guqing left happily.
When Gu Yi left, the anger surging in his heart could not be calmed down.
In his plan, he absolutely would not allow Gu Yanchen to have an heir!
...
Ji Ying learned that Guo Ying was about to be released on bail that afternoon.
No need to guess, it must be Gu Yanchen's doing.
Xiao Xia gave that scumbag a good scolding.
But Ji Ying's reaction was calm.
She knew that although Gu Yanchen had lost power in the group, he still had the connections he had cultivated over the years. If he was determined to get her released, Guo Ying might even be acquitted.
Xiao Xia felt anxious for her. "He knew that once that woman came out, she would definitely cause trouble for you, but he still did it. What does he mean by this? Is he retaliating against you in this way?"
Ji Ying didn't respond to her words. After thinking for a while, she took a taxi to the police station.
I was going to ask about the details, but I happened to see Gu Yanchen leading people out.
Guo Ying had lost weight and nestled in Gu Yanchen's arms, looking incredibly frail.
But the moment she saw Ji Ying, she instantly transformed into a shrew, stepping out of the man's arms and pointing directly at Ji Ying.
"You actually have the nerve to come see me? Are you afraid I'll kill you after I marry Yan Chen, so you've come to apologize?"
"Ji Ying, I swear to God, I will never, ever forgive you!"
However, Ji Ying gave her a cold look and said, "I didn't come here to see you. I came here to ask if the law is still in effect."
The bureau chief who accompanied Gu Yanchen was somewhat embarrassed.
Gu Yanchen whispered a few words to the other person, who then turned and went back to their office.
He then looked at Ji Ying with a cold gaze, "You can be with Liang Jian, and it's perfectly reasonable for me to prepare for our marriage. Go back, I'm here, no one will talk to you about the law."
Ji Ying suppressed her anger and said, "Gu Yanchen, it seems I haven't been ruthless enough to you."
"You troublemaker, what else do you want to do to my family's Yan Chen?"
Guo Ying was about to hit her when Gu Yanchen pulled her back.
He gripped Guo Ying's wrist, but his gaze was fixed on Ji Ying, a cold sneer curling at the corner of his lips.
"Wait until you really have that ability before you stand in front of me and say those harsh words. Mrs. Gu, I'm not afraid to tell everyone that without me, you are nothing!"
After he finished speaking, he pulled Guo Ying, who was still resentful, and left.
Watching the Maybach speed away, Ji Ying stood alone, her eyes half-closed.
In the Hongqi car parked on the street in the distance, Xue Qin turned his gaze to the back seat and asked, "Boss, should I go and say hello?"
Liang Yizhi was processing documents and said without looking up, "No need. If she needs it, she will ask. Besides, there are some paths she has to walk herself."
Seeing his "if you don't love her, don't give her hope" attitude, Xue Qin didn't say anything more and slowly closed the car window.
That same evening, a piece of news became a trending topic.
That is, Ji Ying, as the eldest granddaughter-in-law of the Gu family, issued a statement on social media, saying that her marriage with Gu Yanchen had entered into divorce proceedings, and severely accused him of having multiple affairs and misconduct during the marriage, causing her to suffer humiliation, so she took the initiative to end the relationship.
The statement concluded by questioning why Guo Ying, who was arrested and then released after purchasing and using banned drugs.
Ji Ying's preemptive move caused quite a stir, keeping many people up all night.
Gu Yanchen was not surprised when he saw the message. Instead, he suppressed a smile and instructed Chen Yuan: "Keep it up all night, then remove it tomorrow."
Chen Yuan was completely baffled: "President Gu, she already called you 'her abandoned husband,' this time it's damaging your reputation!"
Gu Yanchen just smiled and didn't explain.
“But Mr. Gu,” Chen Yuan said anxiously, “Professor Guo just called and asked you to hold a press conference tomorrow to announce your marriage to his daughter, otherwise he will make Huang Haoran refuse to work for us. What should we do?”
...
When Ji Ying woke up the next day, the trending topic was gone.
Everything was as expected; she wasn't surprised at all, and it didn't affect her mood.
After working at Qingsui until the afternoon, he went to the hospital alone to remove the splint from his ankle.
With Xiao Chang's influence, it was dismantled in just a few minutes.
The doctor instructed her to continue applying the ointment for a while longer, and she would soon be able to walk normally again.
As Ji Ying walked out of the consultation room, she saw Liang Jian, supporting his back, coming out of the surgical treatment room with the help of his secretary.
The secretary said softly, "The doctor said the wound on my back is not infected, and it will be fine after two more dressing changes. This time... Chairman Liang really went too far."
"It's not my father's fault."
As soon as Liang Jian finished speaking, he looked up and saw Ji Ying standing two meters away, her eyes even filled with clear mockery.
His expression darkened, he shook off his secretary's hand, straightened his back, and walked towards her.
"Hey, the cripple's been taken apart, is he still lame? Does he need his boyfriend to carry him?"
Ji Ying scoffed, her gaze falling on his white shirt. "Young Master Liang was beaten by his father, yet he's still as foul-mouthed as ever. You've ruined this child. You might as well have Chairman Liang get rid of him sooner rather than later."
Liang Jian originally wanted to keep a straight face and retort, but he couldn't help but laugh out loud.
He gasped for breath and rubbed his back. "I was wrong last time, but I got beaten up too. So... we're even?"
Ji Ying raised an eyebrow slightly, "What's there to 'clean up' about? It's not like I hit you. Or... why don't you call me 'Dad'!"
Liang Jian laughed and scolded, "You naughty child, get lost."
Ji Ying raised the corners of her lips and headed towards the elevator.
But she had only taken a few steps when several dark figures suddenly darted out from the side emergency exit.
The other person covered her mouth and roughly dragged her towards the stairwell.
She struggled fiercely, and someone immediately pulled out a stun gun and pressed it hard against her waist.
A sharp, tingling sensation shot through her legs, and she collapsed, letting the other person drag her to the rooftop.
Liang Jian was about to chase after her when his secretary stepped forward and stopped him.
"Mr. Liang, you just lost a big project because of her. Isn't that enough of a price to pay? We should stay out of Mrs. Gu's business."
