Chapter 85 She's Bad But Not Hateful
Next up is a photo of Ji Ying and Liang Yanchuan with their foreheads touching, and she is looking down carefully holding his hand.
The background is in a hospital ward.
Gu Yanchen's eyes suddenly darkened.
But in just a moment, the cold blade that seemed to have been drawn from its sheath in his eyes was quickly retracted.
...
Meanwhile, Ji Ying and that bad bird were sitting in the car.
Liang Jian looked you over several times before saying, "The fact that I came to pick you up at the gate of the Gu family's old residence is to make it clear that I am not afraid of Gu Yanchen. You can trust my sincerity."
Ji Ying had a faint smile on her face. "You suddenly became so assertive, isn't it because Chenxi Group has been in turmoil lately? I dare say that if Gu Yanchen had stood firm against the pressure, you would have immediately backed down."
In fact, to outsiders, Liang Jian is the kind of man with an extremely strong aura.
As the eldest son of the Liang family, he rose to a high position amidst fierce family infighting. Although he appeared quite dignified, the confidence he gained from fighting his way through the bloody battles was enough to intimidate those around him with every move he made.
But Ji Ying was the only one who ignored him.
Liang Jian's gaze fell on the woman's face beside him, as if a thousand emotions were brewing within him.
"You..." His voice held a hint of hesitation, "Could you give me some face?"
Ji Ying curled the left corner of her lip, "You were the one who started it by saying such hurtful things to me!"
Liang Jian chuckled softly, "I've discovered you're quite mischievous."
Ji Ying leaned closer to the car window. "I am a mirror for all of you."
If you are white, then I am white.
If you are black, then I am ink.
"It's almost noon, shall we have a simple meal together?" Liang Jian said.
"I wonder what method Mr. Liang plans to use to facilitate my divorce from Gu Yanchen?"
Ji Ying declined his invitation in her words.
Liang Jian pondered for a few seconds, "I plan to have my younger brother take over your case."
Ji Ying smiled lightly.
"What, you're unwilling to go to court with Gu Yanchen?"
Ji Ying laughed and said, "I thought it was some brilliant idea, but it's just this. You don't need to worry about the lawyer; I'll file my own complaint."
“Even if it’s a private prosecution, legal advice is still needed. My brother is family, so it’s more convenient for him.”
"No need," Ji Ying insisted.
At this moment, the car stopped at the intersection of a commercial street that Ji Ying had mentioned.
"Let's discuss battery cooperation once Mr. Liang has a practical and feasible solution."
After saying that, she got out of the car and left.
After walking a short distance, I looked back again.
Liang Jian's car has already driven away.
A few minutes later, Ji Ying entered a private room at a private kitchen restaurant.
Liang Yanchuan was ordering food on his phone.
Ji Ying's gaze fell on the gauze on his palm.
"What did the doctor say? Do I need to avoid any foods?"
This time, Liang Yanchuan no longer pretended to be an old man like he did when they first met.
"I told you it was nothing, but you insisted I come out to check. This meal is on you."
Ji Ying poured herself a cup of tea and looked at him without saying a word.
Liang Yanchuan then put down his phone and asked, "Is there anything else?"
Ji Ying looked at his hairline and said, "I want a strand of your hair to make a DNA sample."
Liang Yanchuan glared at him sharply, "Are you planning to join forces with Liang Jian to deal with me?"
Ji Ying was stunned.
Just then, a waiter came in to deliver the food, and a stranger who happened to be passing by glanced inside.
Liang Yanchuan's brows immediately furrowed, and his tone was no longer as relaxed as before.
"Liang Jian has been investigating me for more than a day or two. People who are close to me are not safe. Let's see each other less in the future."
Ji Ying understood instantly.
An illegitimate child without the support of his maternal family, fighting alone in the den of wolves and tigers of the Liang family, every step he takes is like walking on thin ice.
Liang Jian always has a secretary waiting for him when he goes out, while he probably doesn't even have a confidant.
"What are you after? Are you happy living like this?" Ji Ying asked.
Liang Yanchuan ignored her and took out a card. "Use this as a backup in case of an emergency."
Ji Ying didn't answer. "We're not close, yet you got injured for me and gave me your card. Aren't you afraid Liang Jian will find out?"
Liang Yanchuan fell silent.
...
Outside the restaurant, inside the Jaguar.
The secretary received the text message, turned around, and said to the man in the back seat, "Mr. Liang, Miss Ji really did go to see the Third Young Master."
Liang Jian stared at the menu items displayed on the restaurant window, remaining silent.
"Mr. Liang, this Miss Ji is cooperating with you on one hand, and on the other hand, she has an ambiguous relationship with the Third Young Master. She's too shrewd. Can we trust what she says?"
She had witnessed the entire interaction between the two in the car and felt that her boss was at a disadvantage.
Liang Jian withdrew his gaze from the restaurant.
"She's a bit bad, but not in an annoying way; she's even a little silly."
Of all the different kinds of people he'd met, she was the least likely to hide her cleverness from him.
She even showed her dislike for him in her eyes.
From another perspective, she is quite sincere.
Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Liang Jian's face that he himself did not realize.
"Have they started eating yet?" Liang Jian asked.
The secretary sent a message to confirm.
"The dishes have just been served."
Liang Jian took out his phone, found Liang Yanchuan's number, and dialed it.
Private room.
Ji Ying used serving chopsticks to pick up a piece of squirrel-shaped mandarin fish and put it in the empty bowl for Liang Yanchuan.
“I have a friend who loves to eat fish and is even better at cooking it. But this dish is not as delicious as his.”
Liang Yanchuan looked at the fish in the bowl, paused for a few seconds, and was about to eat when his phone rang.
He glanced at the name and gestured to Ji Ying to be quiet.
"Is something the matter?" he asked.
"Where?" Liang Jian asked deliberately.
"Having dinner with friends," Liang Yanchuan said.
"Girlfriend?" Liang Jian joked.
"I'm hanging up now, that's all," Liang Yanchuan said.
"My second uncle is back. He's been staying at the Cloud Top Hotel. Dad told us to go and invite him home."
"Now?" Liang Yanchuan asked, somewhat surprised.
"Okay, where are you? I'll come pick you up."
"I... I'll ask around and then send you the exact address."
Immediately, Liang Yanchuan hung up the phone and stood up.
"I've already paid, please enjoy your meal."
Ji Ying truly had no intention of starving herself.
However, she gripped her chopsticks tightly.
"Since we're going to break up, we should break up cleanly. Take the card back. I'll take good care of my elders."
Liang Yanchuan froze for a moment, but still left the card, opened the door, and left.
After crossing two blocks, Liang Yanchuan emerged from another entrance of the mall and got into Liang Jian's car.
Liang Jian sat crookedly in the car and deliberately asked, "Have you eaten?"
Liang Yanchuan replied without a smile, "Not yet."
Liang Jian smiled. "I haven't eaten either. I want to discuss something with you."
Liang Yanchuan looked at him warily, "What are you planning to do now?"
Liang Jian: "Ji Ying wants to divorce Gu Yanchen. Didn't you say you wanted to take her case a few days ago? I support you."
Liang Yanchuan looked at him without saying a word.
Liang Jian explained, "Black Star's heavy truck business has just been launched and does not have the necessary qualifications, but if we can help her divorce Gu Yanchen, she will consider cooperating with us on the new energy battery business for heavy trucks."
Liang Yanchuan scoffed, "You're in charge of the heavy truck business. If you succeed, Father will only praise you. What does it have to do with me?"
"Third brother," Liang Jian said earnestly, "Father isn't confused; how could he not know it was all thanks to you?"
Liang Yanchuan fell silent.
Liang Jian said, "Take your time to think it over. Let's find a place to eat first."
Liang Yanchuan frowned. "Aren't we going to see Second Uncle?"
Liang Jian laughed and said, "I just called my second uncle's secretary. He's not free today, but he'll be attending an auction reception tomorrow night. It just so happens that the hotel he's staying at is in the same place. Let's go there and ambush him."
Liang Yanchuan was furious. "Then why did you rush to call me out?"
Liang Jian: "I'm still hungry, why do you want to eat first?"
I'll eat with her again.
Liang Yanchuan: "..."
Ji Ying had just finished lunch when she received a call from Lin Meizhen.
"What auction reception? Explain yourself."
