Chapter 124 Seeing his disheveled state, seeing his heartache
Ji Ying hung up the phone and went upstairs by herself.
My ankle was still swollen, and although I climbed the stairs slowly, I didn't keep him waiting long.
Liang Yizhi placed the washed teacup in front of her, and then washed one for himself.
"You're following me?" Ji Ying asked warily.
Liang Yizhi didn't even raise his eyebrows. "My time isn't so boring that I need to find enjoyment in tracking your daily routine."
"and you……"
I went to the restroom and came back to see you.
It was probably just a coincidence that Ji Ying relaxed.
When the waiter came to serve the food, Liang Yizhi pushed a tube of ointment in front of her.
"Take full responsibility."
Ji Ying picked up the ointment and looked at it; it was for promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis.
She instantly bristled.
"You're bringing this thing into my life? You've been stalking me!"
Liang Yizhi nodded calmly, "Between fate and meeting you, and deliberately following you, I'm willing to believe that we are destined to meet again."
Ji Ying, "..."
Ignoring her stunned expression, Liang Yizhi pushed a plate of peanut tofu in front of her, his eyes calm as he said, "I didn't know if you liked spicy food, so I ordered two kinds of dipping sauces for you. There's also a signature dish here called stir-fried tea tree mushrooms with cured pork, which is also quite good..."
Ji Ying didn't want to eat; she felt she was already full from all the eating.
The private room next door.
Guo Ying stormed in, pushing open the door.
Mr. and Mrs. Guo Guqing had already ordered the dishes.
Upon seeing her, Guo Guqing pulled out the chair next to him and said, "Didn't you have something to do? Why did you suddenly decide to come?"
Guo Ying stomped her foot angrily, "He ignores me and won't let me go to the hospital with him."
Guo's mother asked, "Is it because he's unhappy that your father didn't give him the person he wanted?"
“We can’t give it to him,” Guo Guqing said. “Unless he marries our Xiaoying, we can’t let Xiao Dong help him.”
Guo's mother still disagreed with the father and daughter's decision.
"He's already been demoted, and he might be kicked out of the company soon. Are you still betting on him?"
Guo Guqing looked at her like she was an idiot. "Do you know how much money the Gu family has? In Kunshi, the Gu family ranks second on the rich list. Who dares to be number one? As the saying goes, even a dead camel is bigger than a horse. Has your brain rusted?"
After hearing his words, Guo's mother suddenly realized what he meant.
She patted her daughter's hand, "Men, if you take the initiative and be a little coquettish, they'll lose control very quickly. Then you can make him give us all the money he has for the Gu family. In the future, I'll have eight nannies and twenty bodyguards when I go out, and I'll change my Hermes bag every day, 365 days a year, without repeating the same one."
Guo Ying pulled her hand away. "Do you think Gu Yanchen is so easy to deal with?"
Guo Guqing thought for a moment, "Ji Ying is lukewarm towards him, and I don't think there's much affection left between them. It's just that his stepsister isn't a simple person. There were rumors that they slept together; is it because of that woman…?"
With a "snap," Guo Ying snapped the white porcelain chopsticks in her hand.
"Wen Lingxue is not qualified to be my roadblock dog."
A little while later, she went to the restroom.
Just then, Ji Ying came out after washing her hands.
The two met at the corner.
Guo Ying stared at him for two seconds and said, "Although you're the one who called me there, I don't want to thank you at all."
Ji Ying casually tossed the tissue she used to wipe her hands into the trash can.
"I don't need your thanks, because you yourself didn't handle things well, it was a complete mess. So this is all Miss Guo is capable of? I'm so disappointed in you."
"What are you saying!" Guo Ying said, somewhat angrily.
Ji Ying chuckled, "Isn't that right? We've already sent someone to your side, and you still can't handle it. I admit I overestimated you this time. Next time, I'll find someone more capable than you, and I'll definitely be able to win him over."
Guo Ying should have been furious, but she suddenly calmed down and looked her over.
"You... really don't want to be with Gu Yanchen anymore? He's so rich, so many women would kill to be his wife, are you really willing to give him up?"
Ji Ying smiled sarcastically, "You can't reason with someone of your intelligence. Get out of my way."
Guo Ying refused and said against her will, "Actually, your husband isn't completely uninterested in me. When we were together, he touched me in every possible way. If he hadn't been hospitalized, we probably would have already slept together."
Ji Ying looked at Guo Ying and realized that she was really not suitable to be a chess piece, but she could still be used as a weapon.
So she replied noncommittally, "Then I wish you success in taking the position soon. My friend is waiting for me, excuse me."
Ji Ying returned to the private room just as Liang Yizhi finished his phone call.
"Want some more?" he asked.
Ji Ying thought for a moment, "Do you have time to come to the signing ceremony for Qing Sui's heavy-duty truck new energy batteries?"
Liang Yizhi raised an eyebrow. "You hate me, yet you want me to come? Are all women this contradictory?"
Ji Ying closed her eyes, suppressing the urge to argue.
"Never mind what I said, thank you for the ointment, this meal is on me."
Then we'll be even, and we won't even need to see each other anymore.
As soon as she finished speaking, she turned and left without a trace of regret.
Liang Yi followed closely behind, just as Guo Guqing walked out of the private room.
Upon seeing him, Guo Guqing smiled obsequiously, "Mr. Liang, what a coincidence!"
Liang Yizhi, “…”
A short while later, Xue Qin received Liang Yizhi.
He asked with concern, "You've eaten together, there shouldn't be any awkwardness between you now, right? Did Miss Ji give you your hair?"
Liang Yizhi pursed his lips and remained silent.
Xue Qin understood and said anxiously for him, "Why don't we just tie her up and draw her blood?"
Liang Yizhi, "How long have you been with me?"
Xue Qin did the math carefully, "It's been ten years and three months."
Liang Yizhi said, "How come you still have that bandit vibe after ten years? Going up and pulling hair is something that old women do. We have to be civilized when we do things."
Xue Qin nodded, having learned his lesson.
"By the way, regarding the acquisition deal with Xingrui Company, their chairman has changed his mind again. That old guy is very shrewd; he's planning to profit from both sides."
Liang Yizhi glanced at him indifferently, "Then you should arrange for someone to invite him out for drinks, and let him experience the consequences of his gluttony."
Xue Qin was taken aback for a moment. "Boss, we should be civilized."
Liang Yizhi frowned. "I'm teaching you business skills, and you're talking to me about civility?"
Xue Qin, “…”
Two days later.
The signing ceremony for the Qingsui Power heavy-duty truck new energy battery project was held in the business hall of the Yundian Hotel.
Even Gu Yanchen received an invitation.
After careful consideration, Ji Ying and Xiao Xia finally decided to cooperate with Xueqiong Titanium Energy.
This means that unless Dong Haoran truly has a product that can surpass Qing Sui, his heavy truck business led by Chen Xi will be a complete failure.
Gu Yanchen could almost picture the smile on that woman's face when she handed her the invitation.
She wanted to see him in a sorry state, to see him heartbroken.
But if it makes her feel good, he will go.
Snow Dome Titanium Energy attached great importance to this signing ceremony, with the president of the Greater China region personally attending.
Xiao Xia, dressed in a smart suit, walked onto the stage and shook hands solemnly with the president of the other party.
Behind her were Ji Ying and several company executives.
From a small, unknown company that was constantly losing money, to now standing on the stage that has attracted industry attention.
Qing Sui finally came into everyone's view.
Xiao Xia raised her champagne glass, her eyes reddening.
Ji Ying put her hand on her shoulder, letting her lean on her.
It's as if it's saying that no matter how great the storm, as long as she's there and the two of them are together, they can get through it.
Gu Yanchen looked much better today. He sat in the audience, looking up at Ji Ying.
She had done the same thing before and said those words during his most difficult time.
How did the two of them become like this in just four years?
As he was feeling sad, Wen Lingxue crouched down and approached him from behind.
"Brother, the celebration party is next. The doctor said you can't drink alcohol. Anyway, the signing ceremony is over, so why don't you leave now?"
Gu Yanchen nodded.
As soon as he stood up, Wen Lingxue subconsciously reached out to support him.
Just then, Ji Ying's voice came from behind them, "Vice President Gu, Mrs. Gu, are you leaving already?"
