Chapter 225 I wasn't reasonable enough, and I disappointed you.
After Liang Jian got ashore, he clung tightly to Ji Ying, making Ji Ying feel extremely uncomfortable.
Xie Yunshu's eyes were red, and everyone assumed it was from falling into the water.
"A-Jian, you're making it hard for her to breathe."
Xie Mingxuan pulled Liang Jian away, seemingly to help, but in reality, the moment he reached out to Ji Ying, a tiny sampler the size of a button slid from his sleeve into his palm.
His target was Ji Ying's wet arm.
That's where you can most easily collect shed skin cells.
However, just as he was about to touch Ji Ying, a coat fell onto Ji Ying's shoulder.
This not only completely enveloped Ji Ying's cold body, but also perfectly disrupted Xie Mingxuan's plan.
Xie Mingxuan's hand froze in mid-air for a second before slowly withdrawing.
He looked up at Liang Yizhi, who had suddenly appeared, and a hint of malice flashed in his eyes, which was covered by a playful smile.
“Yizhi is so caring towards his niece-in-law, even our A-Jian can’t compare.”
Those words were absolutely vicious.
Liang Jian immediately looked at Liang Yizhi with a wary gaze.
"Mr. Xie has the potential to be a gossip. Those who know you will understand that you are joking, but those who don't will think that you are trying to sow discord between the Liang family uncle and nephew."
Ji Ying didn't want to cause any trouble at this time, so as she spoke, she tried to take off Liang Yizhi's coat.
However, Liang Yizhi did not give her a chance to take off her coat.
The man even placed his hand on her shoulder, his gaze towards Xie Mingxuan open and honest.
“The Liang family members are in the Liang family’s territory, so naturally the Liang family will take care of them. Mr. Xie, you overstepped your bounds just now. Yingying is not like a model signed by your company. You should avoid suspicion.”
In short, the dirty water was poured back on them.
The Liang family all knew the inside story of Xie Mingxuan's entertainment company, which specialized in supplying high-end models to various entertainment venues in Beijing.
He may look impeccably dressed, but what man doesn't know his own limitations?
In this respect, Leung Yik-chi, who has never been involved in any scandals, is more trustworthy.
When Liang Jian looked at Xie Mingxuan again, his eyes had changed.
The maid brought him a bath towel, and he instructed someone to take Ji Ying and Xie Yunshu back to their room. He wrapped himself in the towel, and when his gaze returned to Xie Mingxuan, it turned cold.
"Uncle, Yingying isn't that kind of woman. Don't get your hands on the Liang family."
Xie Mingxuan was completely speechless after hearing those words.
After Liang Jian finished speaking, he went upstairs to change his clothes.
Only Liang Yizhi, with an indifferent expression, remained by the pool.
A ruthless glint flashed in Xie Mingxuan's eyes.
"They believe your theories, but I don't. The more you try to protect someone, the more it indicates a problem."
Liang Yizhi's lips twitched slightly, his tone as flat as if he were talking about today's weather.
"Living too consciously is not a good thing; at the very least, it's bad for your lifespan."
Xie Mingxuan's jawline suddenly tightened, and his knuckles made a slight cracking sound in the darkness.
Ji Ying changed her clothes, and then the Liang family's servant brought her a bowl of ginger soup.
She took a sip and asked, "Miss Xie, do you have any?"
The maid nodded. "Yes, the eldest young master has one too."
Ji Ying didn't ask anything more, rubbed her forehead, and closed the door.
As soon as she turned around, Liang Yizhi was standing behind her, which almost startled her so much that she spilled the ginger soup in her hand.
Fortunately, he grabbed her hand in time.
"Are you crazy? What if Xie Mingxuan sees us?" Ji Ying said nervously.
Liang Yizhi remained silent, but gently pulled the person into his arms.
With one arm around her and the other still holding her wrist, he slowly fed her a sip of ginger soup in that position.
"The Xie family's affairs are not something that requires you to get involved personally."
"But Xie Yunshu is pregnant and can't stay in the water for too long."
"Knowing she's pregnant and still acting like this, she only brought it on herself."
Liang Yizhi had never been so cold-hearted before, and Ji Ying found it hard to accept his attitude today.
"Isn't this to help Liang Jian regain his memories?"
A cold sneer flashed in Liang Yizhi's eyes, "Even if you owe him a favor, if he can never regain his memory, are you planning to be his fiancée forever?"
Ji Ying felt that Liang Yizhi was a bit unfamiliar today. "How could he not remember for the rest of his life? It's not like he was seriously injured."
"Then do you remember?" Liang Yizhi asked.
Ji Ying was hurt by his words.
"Liang Yizhi!" She broke free from him. "Be reasonable."
The man didn't hold on to her tightly. He let go of her, took a step back, and said, "I wasn't reasonable enough. I've disappointed you."
After saying that, he turned and walked to the window, nimbly turned over and left, disappearing into the night.
Ji Ying's brow twitched.
She had planned to move out of the Liang residence once Liang Jian regained his memory and the Xie family's affairs were investigated thoroughly.
But Liang Yizhi is acting a bit strange today...
The next morning, Ji Ying went downstairs for breakfast.
I met Xie Yunshu at the stairwell.
The other person only glanced at her coldly before turning away without looking back, clearly taking out their resentment over Liang Jian's indifference from the previous day on her.
Ji Ying frowned and silently walked towards the restaurant.
Liang Jian sat alone at the dining table. When he saw them come in one after the other, he reached out and pulled out the chair next to him, gesturing for Ji Ying to sit down.
Xie Yunshu caught a glimpse of this scene and looked away, feeling wronged.
“I need to conduct a follow-up inspection today,” Liang Jian said.
Ji Ying then remembered that the follow-up appointment date written on his medical record was today.
"I'm sorry, the company's new energy battery test is very important today, and I really can't get away... How about Miss Xie goes with you?"
Upon hearing this, Xie Yunshu's eyes suddenly lit up.
Liang Jian's gaze darkened. "No need. I can handle it myself."
Therefore, he didn't want Xie Yunshu to get close to him at all.
Ji Ying felt a little anxious for them.
"I'm done eating, you can continue eating."
Xie Yunshu got up, left the restaurant without drinking a drop of porridge.
Ji Ying rubbed her throbbing temples.
The unpleasant morning cast a shadow of worry over her, and she could only hope that the high-pressure stability test of the new electrolyte sample would go smoothly today.
She arrived at the company with trepidation and, before the test began, carefully inspected the equipment and samples with her team.
Wu Li took the initiative to step forward and inject the electrolyte.
Ji Ying stood to the side, her sharp eyes fixed on his hands.
After completing the standard procedure, he did not stop, but instead connected an additional power source and applied a brief pulse current to the sample.
"This step is not in the standard procedure. What are you doing?" Ji Ying stepped forward to stop her.
Wu Li's hand trembled almost imperceptibly, then he calmly pushed up his glasses.
"Director Ji, this is a new method mentioned in a recent paper that can significantly improve initial performance. It's just a minor optimization within a safe range, so you don't need to make a fuss about it."
"No, a paper is a paper. I don't have authoritative experimental data here. Everything must be done according to the established standard procedures."
The implication is that today's testing must be suspended.
Wu Li frowned and said, "Seriously? You're going to stop the test just because of this? Everyone has worked so many nights and put in so much effort for today. This isn't just your project; it's the hard work of the entire team. You're just going to stop it like that? Isn't that too arbitrary?"
The atmosphere in the laboratory froze instantly.
Seeing this, Xiao Chang smiled and stepped forward, gently patting Ji Ying's shoulder.
"Being rigorous is the right thing to do; safety is of utmost importance."
But then he changed the subject, his gaze sweeping across the room, and said, "The technical committee will be submitting its final review report tomorrow. This data is the core basis for the project's approval. If we miss this meeting, the entire project will be delayed by at least a quarter."
He looked at Ji Ying and said sincerely, "The timeline is too tight. How about we strengthen monitoring, perfect the safety plan, and proceed as planned? After all... everyone has been preparing for this for so long."
Seeing everyone's expectant gazes, Ji Ying remained silent for a moment before finally nodding solemnly.
Xiao Chang smiled at her compromise and said, "You'll see that Vice Dean Wu's son is quite capable once you use him more."
Ji Ying ignored him and asked him to leave so she could begin the test immediately.
High-voltage test initiated.
Wu Li stood at the position closest to the test chamber, and just as a faint smile appeared on his lips, the curve on the monitoring screen suddenly started to shake violently.
boom!
With a deafening roar, a tongue of fire instantly engulfed the entire laboratory space.
