Chapter 118 Gu Yanchen, you've been poisoned, you're dying.
Wen Lingxue was so frightened that her face turned pale and her whole body trembled. She quickly explained, "I swear I didn't have that kind of thought. I just... I just felt that we should nip it in the bud to avoid future troubles. Isn't this for our own good?"
Gu Yi stared at her for a while, the anger in his eyes lessened a bit, but his gaze remained chilling.
"Isn't you the biggest threat to me?"
Wen Lingxue was drenched in sweat. "If I could marry Gu Yanchen, I would definitely take him far away. How could I become a problem for you?"
Gu Yi sneered, "If you want to get the man you want through me, you'd better behave yourself. Whether it was last time or this time, you've used my people to satisfy your own desires. I'll keep track of all those things. If one day I really don't get what I want..."
Gu Yi took a step closer to her.
"...I'll drag you down with me!"
Wen Lingxue shuddered, but also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
This hurdle is cleared, but what about Guo Ying's?
...
The first rays of dawn were breaking.
Ji Ying slept very comfortably in the second half of the night. Although her biological clock kept urging her to wake up, she still didn't want to open her eyes.
Because sleeping with something on her head always gave her a strange sense of security.
She unconsciously rubbed against the cushion, which was just the right firmness, and even reached out and grabbed at it randomly.
The sensation from her palm startled her.
This... feels like a hard, solid steamed bun?
Alarm bells rang in her mind, and she abruptly opened her eyes. The scene that greeted her completely woke her up.
My God, I'm lying in a man's arms!
Her gaze shifted upwards in a panic, and when she saw the other person's face clearly, her breath caught in her throat.
"I...I cheated on you again?"
Liang Yizhi was sleeping very uncomfortably. When she woke up and opened her eyes, her brows were still furrowed and her gaze towards her was very faint.
"You had a fever and were unconscious, which kept me up all night."
It turned out that nothing had happened between the two of them, and Ji Ying breathed a sigh of relief.
Gu Yanchen's infidelity was despicable, but she had her own bottom line and would never become like him.
But before she could fully breathe a sigh of relief, Liang Yizhi's words plunged her into despair once again.
"When I was feeding you medicine, you clung to my thigh and wouldn't let go, and then you even pulled at my pants."
Ji Ying, "..."
A clear sneer surfaced in Liang Yizhi's eyes as he said with a forced smile, "You're actually quite kind of you, leaving me a shirt so I wouldn't be left naked."
Ji Ying suddenly wanted to find a place to bury herself.
"I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry. I was confused at the time, I definitely didn't know anything or see anything. Please be magnanimous and don't hold it against me."
“You’re wrong,” Liang Yizhi sat up and looked at the shirt buttons that were about to be torn off. “I’ve always been petty, and this matter can’t be left like this.”
Ji Ying looked anxious. "Then what do you want? To make you my lover? No, you're already married, and I'm not divorced yet. I would never do something so immoral!"
Liang Yizhi's eyelids twitched. "To betray your virtue for you? Ha, your charm is far from enough to make me want to cheat on you."
Ji Ying was silenced by his words.
She truly lacked charm; otherwise, how could she have been a wife for four years, yet in her husband's eyes, she remained merely a tool to be used, rather than a beloved partner?
Liang Yizhi got up and went to the bathroom, missing her fleeting look of disappointment.
"Answer three questions for me in a bit, and we'll be even."
At this moment, Xue Qin knocked on the bedroom door.
Ji Ying opened the door, and Xue Qin was stunned when he saw her. He quickly looked away.
Ji Ying then realized that she was wearing a men's shirt, and below that... she was bare-legged.
She hid behind the door, feeling embarrassed.
Xue Qin still didn't dare to look, turning his face away and handing her a paper bag.
"Mr. Liang gave me the size, and my female colleague went to buy it. Please take a look and see if it fits."
Her clothes got soaked from the rain yesterday, so she definitely can't wear them today.
Ji Ying accepted it and thanked her.
"Um... if there's nothing else, I'll head out. If you need anything, have the boss call me."
After saying that, Xue Qin disappeared faster than a rabbit.
Ji Ying went to another room to take a shower and changed into the clothes Xue Qin had brought her. Surprisingly, they fit her perfectly.
When I came out, Liang Yizhi was already sitting at the dining table, fiddling with the breakfast in front of him.
The newly changed shirt was crisp and flawless, and the watch reflected a cool light; every detail exuded the unapproachable aura of its owner.
"sit."
Liang Yizhi raised his chin, and Ji Ying sat down opposite him.
Although both are porridge, the two porridges are different.
It was hard to tell what Liang Yizhi's dish was, but it contained goji berries.
Ji Ying's portion included fish maw and bird's nest.
The hotel wouldn't provide such an expensive free breakfast for its guests, yet he was so generous.
Ji Ying gathered her thoughts and drank her porridge.
"I heard you're an adopted daughter of the Lin family. Where is your hometown?" Liang Yizhi asked.
Ji Ying paused for two seconds, then said, "I don't know."
Liang Yizhi's gaze darkened slightly. "Then what about your biological parents? Were you lost, or were you... given up for adoption by them?"
Ji Ying took a sip of porridge, and thinking about her experiences searching for her parents over the years, she felt angry.
Are biological parents very important people?
Liang Yizhi's gaze turned deep and unfathomable. "Have you contacted them?"
Ji Ying gulped down her porridge. "I've looked for them, but they don't want me."
If they were also looking for her, the DNA data would have been uploaded so long ago, they wouldn't have remained silent for so long.
Liang Yizhi's eyebrows twitched slightly. "Have you ever suffered a serious injury?"
Ji Ying put down her spoon, wiped her mouth, and stood up.
"Sorry, you've finished asking your three questions."
Liang Yizhi sighed softly.
“Your grandfather’s body is still in the hospital morgue. Your adoptive mother is setting up the funeral parlor for him at the funeral home. I’ll have Xue Qin take you there in a bit.”
Upon hearing this, Ji Ying clenched and unclenched her hands.
"No need for Secretary Xue, I can walk by myself. I'll remember what I owe you, and I'll repay you no matter how long it takes."
After Ji Ying finished speaking, she left his room.
Liang Yizhi pondered her words and suddenly frowned.
...
Two hours later, Ji Ying, with her makeup on to cover her slightly swollen eyes, arrived at Chenxi Group carrying a medicine box.
Mrs. Gu's status was still valid, so the receptionist didn't dare to stop her.
As she stepped out of the elevator, Wen Lingxue stood beside it to "greet" her.
"Sister-in-law, my brother wants me to be his personal secretary. You won't be angry, will you?"
Normally, she would have slapped her across the face.
But today she was calm and composed, ignoring Wen Lingxue's provocations, and walked straight to Gu Yanchen's office.
They arrived at Gu Yanchen's office.
Wen Lingxue swayed her hips as she walked toward the man in front of the desk.
"Brother, I've brought your wife over. Do you need me to help you take off your clothes?"
Gu Yanchen glanced at Ji Ying without any emotion, then nodded gently to Wen Lingxue.
Wen Lingxue happily walked over and familiarly and intimately unbuttoned his shirt.
Ji Ying calmly opened the medicine box and prepared gauze and medicine.
After Wen Lingxue shyly took Gu Yanchen's shirt, she went up to remove the old gauze from his arm.
Gu Yanchen's arm wound was actually quite serious. Although several days had passed, there were still several bright red spots. Ji Ying's gaze fell on it, and a faint, indistinct light flashed in her eyes.
She took out the medicine and carefully disinfected his wound.
Gu Yanchen has a keen sense of smell. After two deep breaths, he noticed that her aura was different from usual.
"Where were you last night?" he asked.
Ji Ying was applying the medicine to him for the second time when she replied calmly, "Hotel."
Yes, she smelled of hotel shower gel.
Gu Yanchen's face darkened, and he grabbed her, "Alone or with someone else?"
Wen Lingxue quickly reminded him, "Brother, be careful of your injury."
"Get out!"
Gu Yanchen hadn't spoken to her so sternly in a long time.
Wen Lingxue was startled and walked away, turning back every few steps.
Gu Yanchen looked at Ji Ying coldly and asked again, "Are you alone, or are there other people with you?"
Ji Ying raised an eyebrow indifferently, "You're allowed to have three wives and four concubines, but I'm not allowed to go out and have some fun?"
Gu Yanchen was almost going crazy, "Who...who is he?"
Ji Ying pushed away his hand that was on her shoulder and then gave him a push.
Gu Yanchen suddenly felt weak all over, took a few steps back, and actually fell to the ground.
Ji Ying curled her lips into a cold and resolute smile.
"Did you think you could control me? Gu Yanchen, the medicine I gave you contained a deadly poison. You're poisoned, you're dying."
