Chapter 64 Inviting her to bathe together
Ji Ying felt that he was Lin Yan.
With just one sentence, "She has nowhere else to turn," he agreed to meet her without hesitation.
She was all too familiar with this almost instinctive urge to go.
Even though she suggested a meeting place that defied common sense, he had no objections.
After she hung up the phone, Xiao Xia asked, "Are you looking for evidence that he is Lin Yan?"
Ji Ying nodded.
Xiao Xia said, "A large family like the Liang family would never mistake bloodlines. Liang Yanchuan is definitely Liang Weiyue's son. But it's good that you can get in touch with the Liang family. They have a good background. If it weren't for the internal strife these past few years, they might not have lost to Gu Yanchen."
Ji Ying hadn't told Xiao Xia about the Lin family's affairs; to keep her safe, she wanted her to know as little as possible.
The next day, Ji Ying drove alone to Jintang Lianquan.
After checking into the room, Liang Yanchuan called shortly afterward.
Ji Ying went to the location he gave her.
This VIP room area has private rooms with a small hot spring, and the decoration is particularly luxurious. The price is several times higher than the ordinary room she stayed in.
Ji Ying found the room number, entered the password, and the door opened.
At the far end of the living room was a hot spring, and to Ji Ying's surprise, he was already soaking in it.
I thought it would take a lot of effort to see him wearing swim trunks.
Liang Yanchuan heard footsteps stop not far away and slowly opened his eyes. When he turned around, he found her standing there in casual clothes, staring blankly at his back.
"Mrs. Gu arranged to meet at the hot spring hotel, wasn't it for soaking in the hot springs?"
His words carried a cryptic undertone, and Ji Ying was certain that Lin Yan four years ago would not have said such a thing.
"Please call me Miss Ji. I'm sorry, I didn't expect you to arrive first."
Liang Yanchuan turned around. His arm muscles weren't particularly developed, but his skin was great. Water droplets slid down his skin, shimmering in the steaming hot spring.
Ji Ying had seen Lin Yan shirtless when he worked as a porter at the train station to supplement his family's income.
He was shirtless in the sweltering summer heat, covered in sweat. Ji Ying handed him a towel, and he shyly turned his back to her to wipe himself, asking her how she knew he was working odd jobs here.
Liang Yanchuan not only looked at her openly and honestly, but even invited her to bathe together.
"Are you planning to talk to me dressed like this in the hot spring?" Liang Yanchuan asked.
"I'll go back and change into my swimsuit right away."
Liang Yanchuan pointed to the travel bag in the chair and said, "No need, I've prepared one for you."
Not knowing what style he would prepare, Ji Ying did not step forward.
"Thank you, but my own clothes fit me better."
After saying that, she turned and left.
"Miss Ji..."
She heard the sound of water behind her, and when Ji Ying turned around, she found that Liang Yanchuan had already stood up from the hot spring pool.
And she had a bath towel wrapped around her waist.
In her entire life, Ji Ying had only ever seen one man, Gu Yanchen, walk towards her wrapped in a bath towel.
Regardless of whether the man in front of her was Lin Yan or not, she was a little scared, and her slow walk turned into a run.
But Liang Yanchuan was faster than her. Just as she got close to the door, he gave her a hard push, pinning her against it.
A loud "wall slamming" sound came from the corridor...
The secretary rushed into the president's office at Black Star Technology.
"President Liang, the Third Young Master didn't come to the company today."
Liang Jian looked at her without saying a word.
The secretary walked up to him in high heels, bent down and whispered in his ear, "Half an hour ago, he and Miss Ji entered Jintang Lianquan one after the other."
Liang Jian's eyes were cold and piercing. "They've only met twice and they're already soaking in a hot spring together?"
The secretary said thoughtfully, "I'm worried that the Third Young Master also wants to win over Miss Ji and use her to deal with Gu Yanchen. If he succeeds, his importance in Chairman Liang's eyes will be different."
Liang Jian's dark eyes gradually deepened. "It's not good for Third Brother to seduce a married woman. We can't let him ruin the Liang family's reputation. Have someone tip off Gu Yanchen, but don't let him know that the message came from me."
...
Golden spring water.
Ji Ying's left cheek hit the back of the door and hurt a little.
The next second she turned around angrily and glared at the man who pounced on her from behind.
"What does Vice President Liang mean by this?"
Liang Yanchuan smiled faintly, "We've only met a few times and you've already invited me to a place like this. Miss Ji's intentions are so obvious, and I just happen to be willing... Ah!"
Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly felt a sharp, piercing pain explode in his waist.
It felt like countless needles piercing my spine and shooting up to the back of my head, instantly draining all my strength.
Immediately afterwards, his knees gave way and he collapsed to his knees.
Once his vision cleared, he discovered that Ji Ying had somehow acquired a stun gun.
He should have been angry, but he chuckled softly, "So fierce, no wonder Gu Yanchen cheated on me."
Ji Ying was genuinely angry. "I sincerely wanted to be friends with Vice President Liang, but I didn't expect you to be this kind of person. Since that's the case, there's no point in us talking anymore. Goodbye!"
She turned to leave as she spoke.
"Is this about making friends, or is there an ulterior motive? Miss Ji, once you've spent a lot of time with someone, you start to resemble that person."
Ji Ying paused in her tracks. "So, Vice President Liang is deliberately trying to embarrass me and force me to leave? What kind of shameful secret are you hiding that you're afraid I'll expose?"
"I am the third young master of the Liang family, with an DNA test result. What do I have to fear from you exposing me?"
She began to doubt him during their first meeting, so on their second meeting he took the initiative to give her his business card and identify himself, but she still didn't believe him.
She's too smart to be fooled.
Liang Yanchuan recovered from the electric shock and stood up on his own.
The next second, the bath towel wrapped around her waist slipped off.
Ji Ying was shocked and wanted to turn her head, but then she wondered if she could see the birthmark on his buttock through his short swim trunks.
After a brief moment of looking away, his gaze settled firmly on his lower body.
But when their gazes met, she froze.
He wore a pair of dark blue, knee-length swim trunks that completely covered his hips and thighs, with the Liang Group logo even embroidered on the side.
The dignified third young master of the Liang family actually wore his own company's business gift to soak in the hot spring.
"Have you seen enough?" Liang Yanchuan calmly lifted the towel and wrapped it around his swim trunks again. "Is your ex-girlfriend's figure as good as mine?"
She didn't get a chance to see the birthmark, but Ji Ying was overwhelmed with emotion and couldn't speak.
Liang Yanchuan walked to the table, calmly sat down in the chair, and said indifferently, "Miss Ji, you have had a bad marriage for four years. I sympathize with you, which is why I agreed to meet you."
Ji Ying walked to the opposite side of him and sat down.
“I have a friend who was just as stingy as you. Back then, his family wasn’t well-off, so he worked part-time delivering goods. He would always bring home some freebies, like aprons or arm sleeves. I haven’t seen him for many years now, and I don’t know if he’s changed that habit.”
Liang Yanchuan paused, his hand still holding the documents.
A few seconds later, he laughed.
"I was in a rush today and didn't have time to buy swim trunks, so I just grabbed one from the company."
But Ji Ying seemed not to hear his explanation and continued, "My grandfather suffered from severe heart disease after his death. He was critically ill several times and almost did not make it. Although a medicine has been found that can maintain heart function, losing his grandson is still an insurmountable obstacle in his life."
Ji Ying stared intently at Liang Yanchuan's face, trying to find clues to his identity from the subtle changes in his expression.
However, Liang Yanchuan paused for two seconds before saying, "Is the person you're looking for also a law student?"
Ji Ying shook her head.
Liang Yanchuan took out a document.
“I’ve inquired, and no law firm in the entire city of Kun dares to take your divorce case. My license is registered under the Liang family’s law firm, so I’m not afraid of them. If you can dispel Miss Ji’s suspicions about my identity, I’m willing to be your lawyer and even try to get you more compensation.”
As he spoke, he opened the document, which was a draft divorce agreement.
"Look, this is the framework; you can modify it to your liking."
Ji Ying wanted to say something more, but the doorbell rang.
Both of them were startled at the same time.
Liang Yanchuan calmly got up and opened the door.
Outside the door, Gu Yanshen was raising his hand to press the bell for the second time when their eyes met, and the air suddenly froze.
