Chapter 10 I've had enough of your hypocrisy and deception
Ji Ying felt as if a gash had been torn in her heart, and blood was dripping down her cheeks.
Gu Gong didn't forget to flatter his wife in front of his mother.
"It was only because Ali knew the bank president's wife that we were able to expose your true colors. Otherwise, our Gu family would not have known that you had tricked us."
Ji Ying's eyes darkened for a moment, and she raised her hand.
"What transfer record? Show it to me."
At the old lady's signal, the housekeeper took the "evidence" into her hands.
Wen Li reminded her impatiently, "Don't try anything funny. Even if you tear up this evidence, it won't work. I can get the bank to print another copy."
Ji Ying's gaze fell on the paper stamped with the bank's official seal.
The transfer record is genuine, but she didn't know when she had this card under her name.
"The card number is wrong," Ji Ying said, pointing to the transfer record.
"impossible!"
Wen Li stepped forward instinctively.
Just then, Ji Ying suddenly grabbed her hair, picked up a fruit knife from the coffee table with her other hand, and held it against her neck.
This action shocked everyone, even the old lady stood up.
"Are you trying to rebel?" Gu Gong was furious.
Ji Ying's eyes were filled with a chill.
"You think you can frame me by catching me off guard?"
"Dream on! Anyone who dares to take a step closer, I'll stab her in the neck!"
"Husband, save me." Wen Li's voice trembled.
Gu Gong was about to call for his bodyguards when the old lady narrowed her eyes slightly.
"Don't you care about your wife's life?"
Gu Gong was immediately at a loss.
Ji Ying's fruit knife drew a line of blood on Wen Li's neck.
Wen Li screamed in pain.
"You know better than I do how this card came about, right?" Ji Ying said.
"I...I don't understand what you're saying." Wen Li's voice lacked confidence.
"You have insulted me time and time again. Today you either clear my name or let me send you to your death."
Gu Gong shouted anxiously, "Ji Ying, if you kill her, you won't survive either."
"If I lose my dignity, what am I supposed to live for!"
As soon as Ji Ying finished speaking, she slashed Wen Li's face.
Wen Li didn't expect Ji Ying to be so willing to go all out.
She thought that this woman would at most cry foul, but would be unable to produce any evidence to prove her innocence, and in the end, she would be forced to divorce by Gu Yanchen and kicked out of the Gu family by the old lady.
Who knew she would be so tough?
Now disfigured, she completely lost her nerve and cried out, "I was wrong, it was me..."
"stop!"
At this moment, Gu Yanchen and Chen Yuan hurriedly walked in from outside.
He frowned when he saw that half of Wen Li's face was covered in blood.
"I know it wasn't you, let her go."
Ji Ying was also wary of him and refused to let go.
Gu Yanshen's jaw twitched, signaling Chen Yuan to hand over the new evidence to the old lady.
Gu Gong thought he was trying to make an excuse for Ji Ying.
"Yan Chen, I told you last night after we got off the plane, don't let yourself be seduced by women. No matter how much you like her, you can't let her ruin the Gu family's reputation. The bank transfer evidence is irrefutable..."
Gu Yanchen interrupted him.
"The bank statements are real, and the bank card number is indeed in her name, but the card application process was tampered with."
Gu Gong was stunned: "What did you say?"
Gu Yanchen's gaze was unusually cold.
"This bank card was issued illegally; the person who applied for the card and the signature are not hers. In order to frame my wife, the aunt gave the bank manager's wife ten gold bars. The transaction took place at the beauty salon under the aunt's name. Although there is no surveillance footage, the bank manager's wife told her husband everything. Her husband may lose his job and is currently trying to find a way to make up for it."
Gu Gong was so shocked he couldn't shut his mouth.
He turned to look at Wen Li, incredulous.
How could you lie to me?
Wen Li was trembling like a sieve, unable to speak, only shaking her head repeatedly.
Gu Yanchen looked at Ji Ying, his gaze softening.
"Relax, no one here can hurt you."
Having achieved her goal, Ji Ying released her grip and put down the knife.
Wen Li threw herself at Gu Gong's feet and wept bitterly.
Exhausted, Ji Ying clutched the collar where her buttons had been torn off.
She wanted to cry, but she couldn't shed a single tear at this moment.
Gu Yanchen felt heartbroken and took a few steps closer to hug her.
As a result, Ji Ying suddenly raised her hand and slapped him across the face.
The air inside the room froze instantly, becoming so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
With red eyes, Ji Ying pointed at him and said, "Your doting on Gu Lingxue is giving her mother confidence. She insults me time and time again, and all she gets in return is a half-hearted reprimand. I'm the one who was almost exposed and whose reputation is ruined. Besides a few empty words of comfort, what have you ever done for me?"
Ji Ying took a deep breath, trying hard to hold back the tears that were about to spill from her eyes.
"Gu Yanchen, I've had enough of your hypocrisy and deception!"
Gu Yan's eyes hardened with coldness, but he didn't retaliate until she finished speaking.
His face was grim. "Chen Yuan, don't let anyone who broke into Platinum Bay today get away with it."
Everyone knows that Gu Yanchen acts without bloodshed, but he makes his opponents wish they were dead.
The living room was immediately filled with pleas for mercy.
Chen Yuan took the trash away to dispose of it, and Gu Yanchen looked at Ji Ying, "Are you satisfied now?"
He never knew what he truly wanted.
Ji Ying sneered, "I'll give you two choices: either cut off all ties with Gu Lingxue, or we'll never see each other again."
This is his last chance.
But Gu Yanchen's voice was cold, and his gaze was even colder.
"I never make choices."
Ji Ying was disheartened and turned to look at the old lady.
"You once told me that if..."
“Yingying,” Old Mrs. Gu interrupted her, “I will give you an explanation.”
After she finished speaking, she looked at Wen Li.
Gu Gong had forgiven Wen Li in the blink of an eye, and even held her in his arms to protect her carefully.
The old lady was disappointed in him.
"Anyone who tries to bring Gu Lingxue back in the future will be a sinner against the Gu family. From now on, the Gu family has no more Madam."
Gu Gong and Wen Li were shocked.
"Mom, Ali's face has been disfigured, she's already learned her lesson, so you..."
"Gu Gong, you're the one who's obsessed with women. Whether you get a divorce or not is your business, but I no longer acknowledge Wen Li as my daughter-in-law."
In fact, Gu Gong understood that the old lady's announcement was a step back.
She had never liked Wen Li, but for her own sake, she had tolerated Wen Li's existence. However, her wife's behavior this time was really too much.
He sighed, "I'll make her change, please give me some more time."
But Ji Ying could no longer accept the old lady's comforting support.
"Madam, I can't always save my life by risking everything..."
"Then what else do you want from the family? Even if you're right, you should know when to stop."
"I'm not arguing with you about who's right, I just want to..."
"Alright, it's smart to know when to stop. Look at the state of your clothes, go change them now."
Grandma Gu was unusually domineering; she simply wouldn't let her utter the word "divorce."
