Chapter 121 Getting Used to the Life of a Rich Woman
"Say it again?"
Ji Ying couldn't believe her ears.
A cell phone was extended from the side.
Lin Meizhen wiped away her tears, her tone unusually firm, "Go ahead and speak, I'm recording you. A grown man who doesn't keep his word is a spineless enoki mushroom."
Chen Yuan's eyelids twitched as he listened, but Gu Yanchen's expression remained unchanged; he simply looked intently at Ji Ying.
"But there is one requirement: a one-month cooling-off period, during which we need to act like a normal couple."
Ji Ying scoffed lightly, "Do you think that's possible?"
Gu Yanchen closed his eyes briefly. "I'm not asking you to go home. What I mean is that you need to cooperate when I need you to appear as my wife."
Lin Meizhen pulled Ji Ying behind her and stepped forward herself, saying, "Now you remember she's your wife? When your other women bullied her, what was she? A doormat? Or an unkillable cockroach?"
"You've bullied her like this, and you still have so many demands for a divorce? Are you a pig's tail? You like dragging things out."
Gu Yanchen finally got a little annoyed with her and called out to Chen Yuan.
"Go check if there are any empty cemetery plots?"
Lin Meizhen immediately fell silent, took a deep breath, and quickly hid behind Ji Ying.
Gu Yanchen looked at Ji Ying and continued, "I'm in a very difficult situation at the company right now, so let's not make our impending divorce public yet. During this one-month cooling-off period, let's treat each other normally, just like before. I promise I won't ignore your feelings like I used to."
Lin Meizhen gently tugged at Ji Ying's sleeve from behind, signaling her not to agree.
After thinking for a while, Ji Ying raised her chin and said, "Okay, but let's go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to register for divorce now."
Gu Yanchen's already pale face turned even paler.
“I brought my marriage certificate, shall we go together?” he asked.
“I was driving,” Ji Ying said.
Gu Yanchen nodded dejectedly.
As soon as he left, Lin Meizhen excitedly grabbed her hand, "He suddenly became so easy to talk to, who knows what kind of bad idea he's up to? How could you fall for his trick?"
Ji Ying smiled faintly, "Do you have any other way to get him to register immediately?"
Lin Meizhen was speechless.
Ji Ying was heading to the parking lot.
Liang Yanchuan stepped forward and said, "You've been keeping vigil for your grandfather for the past three days and haven't had a proper rest. I'm worried about you driving, so I'll take you to the Civil Affairs Bureau."
Upon hearing this, Liang Jian scoffed, "Grandpa, you're really good at currying favor. What if Gu Yanchen causes trouble on the way? Can you handle it?"
After he finished speaking, he looked at Ji Ying and said, "Let me take you there. With me escorting you, Grandpa's spirit in heaven will rest in peace."
Liang Yanchuan got angry, "Is that your maternal grandfather? Why are you calling him that?"
Liang Jian said dismissively, "So you're the only one allowed to shout?"
Ji Ying looked at him, then at Liang Yanchuan, and then gave Liang Jian a push.
"What's all the noise about? Let's drive."
Driver Liang, "..."
Despite numerous concerns along the way, the process of applying for a divorce at the Civil Affairs Bureau went surprisingly smoothly.
Ji Ying held the stamped receipt, somewhat excited.
In 30 days, she will regain her freedom.
The only thing to do now is to ensure that Gu Yanchen will not change his mind during these 30 days.
However, when she walked out of the Civil Affairs Bureau, she found that Liang Jian and his car were nowhere to be found.
Looking around, there was only one Jaguar parked in the parking lot, its hood covered with blue roses, making it look like a wedding car at first glance.
Ji Ying didn't dare to recognize it and was about to walk out when the car honked its horn.
Liang Jian leaned out of the car and looked at her with a smile.
Ji Ying was stunned for a while before she found her voice, "Your car... how did you get it like this?"
Liang Jian leaned against the window, laughing triumphantly, "Celebrating your second trip to the Civil Affairs Bureau! One more trip and you'll be completely free. Isn't that something to celebrate?"
Ji Ying took a deep breath, suppressing the urge to laugh, "Can we pretend we don't know each other for now?"
"Why?" Liang Jian raised an eyebrow.
“It’s so tacky,” Ji Ying finally couldn’t help but laugh. “Really, it’s so tacky that I almost didn’t dare to go up and recognize it.”
Liang Jian laughed as he got out of the car to open the door for her, saying, "The florist strongly recommended it, saying it's the most popular style right now. See, that's how easily I can be swindled out of my money."
"Mr. Liang is a man of taste; I don't believe you can't tell."
Ji Ying felt that he did this on purpose to make her happy.
Liang Jian's gaze deepened, and he deliberately raised an eyebrow, "Is that so?"
Ji Ying bent down and sat in the passenger seat, unable to suppress the smile on her face.
As Gu Yanchen came out of the certificate processing hall, he saw the two of them leaving happily.
Chen Yuan frowned. "What does President Liang mean by this? He's even prepared a wedding car for the divorce? Is he not even going to pretend anymore when he's trying to steal her away?"
Gu Yanchen watched the absurd float leave, his gaze chillingly deep.
...
That evening, Xiao Xia insisted on dragging Ji Ying to a bar to celebrate.
Last time, we didn't open the champagne halfway through the marriage, and the divorce still didn't happen.
This time, she didn't want to keep a low profile.
Ji Ying was very sleepy and wanted to go back to rest, but she couldn't resist her enthusiasm and went anyway.
Burning Night Bar.
The deep bass seemed to strike directly at her heart, instantly dispelling Ji Ying's drowsiness.
Xiao Xia requested a spacious booth.
The business had a minimum spending requirement, but she didn't care.
My best friend's long and arduous journey to divorce has finally come to this point, so this money should be spent.
As the waiter brought the drinks, Xiao Xia pulled out a platinum card and said, "Call over the most handsome, talkative, and outgoing younger brother here!"
The waiter thought for a moment, "Is it our top-tier hostess?"
Xiao Xia nodded.
Ji Ying tugged at her sleeve, "Are you serious?"
Xiao Xia waved her hand, "Once you're divorced, you'll be a single aristocrat. Get used to the life of a rich woman in advance."
He then poured Ji Ying a glass of wine, wishing her a happy divorce.
Ji Ying took a sip of a beautifully colored cocktail; it was quite strong, and her throat felt burning.
"Um... I've never played this before, do you know how to play?" She was unsure.
Xiao Xia, with her experience, said, "Do you need any skills to play around? Just find an attractive man to drink and chat with. If you get drunk, you can touch his abs and rub his breasts."
Steamed bun?
Ji Ying's thoughts suddenly drifted back to the morning she woke up.
Does anyone have a good post about Liang Yizhi's steamed buns?
Xiao Xia, unaware that she was lost in thought, moved closer and lowered her voice, saying, "Most importantly, after you've enjoyed all of this, you don't have to take responsibility for him. Don't you think that's very stress-relieving?"
Ji Ying was still a little nervous. "How about... you demonstrate for me first?"
Xiao Xia smiled nonchalantly, "Simple. Just do as I show him in a moment."
As soon as they finished speaking, they saw a man in a white shirt and black trousers walking towards them, led by a waiter.
The man had a handsome and refined face, but his brows exuded an aura of composure and maturity.
Xiao Xia had already drunk a cocktail, and when she saw the person walking towards her, her brows furrowed tightly.
"What kind of younger brother is this? This duck is way too old!"
Ji Ying almost couldn't speak, so she reached out and covered her mouth, trying to remain calm as she said, "That's Liang Jian."
Xiao Xia, "..."
That's it, he's already taken in everything he just said.
