Chapter 82 When should we get the divorce certificate?
The police arrived quickly and rescued Liang Yanchuan, who was at a disadvantage.
Ji Ying sat in her wheelchair, watching Gu Yanchen leave with the police. Their eyes met briefly before they fell silent.
What's the point of saying anything now?
She ruined his reputation and career.
Ji Ying felt that the only thing the two of them could talk about was divorce.
Xiao Xia did not go to buy breakfast.
She encountered the Xiao family's nanny at the elevator entrance.
The nanny brought her a nourishing soup, enough for two people.
They also brought her a change of clothes.
As Ji Ying drank the soup that Madam Xiao had personally prepared, she understood her intention.
Xiao Chang altered her medical records and concealed her miscarriage. She said she wouldn't pursue the matter and wouldn't go back on her word.
“Liang Yanchuan is seriously injured and needs to be hospitalized. The Gu and Liang families are not on good terms, and the Liang family will definitely not let this go. Gu Yanchen is going to be very busy this time,” Xiao Xia said.
Ji Ying showed no emotion.
After that, she fell into a deep sleep more and more often.
But each time I wake up from a nightmare, and my body can't take it anymore, so I go back to sleep.
It took three or four days of back and forth for him to recover.
And her injuries are healing rapidly.
The day she was transferred to a regular ward, the expert team from Beijing withdrew, but the hospital assigned her the best attending physician in the department.
Xiao Xia has also been extremely busy these past few days.
Since announcing at the summit that she was looking for an exclusive partner, her and her company's phones have been ringing off the hook.
Ji Ying felt sorry for her, so she hired a caregiver and stopped asking her to stay with her at night. However, the two would talk on the phone several times a day.
Xiao Xia brought her important news: Gu Yanshen was facing a dismissal crisis and was about to collapse.
Furthermore, if Qing Sui signs a strategic agreement with another company, it will be a devastating blow to Chenxi Group, cutting off its lifeline.
Ji Ying neither confirmed nor denied the news.
The doctor had just finished his rounds when the ward door was pushed open.
Ji Ying looked up and met Liang Jian's gaze, then sighed and slowly looked away.
"What, are you under a lot of pressure because you see me?"
As Liang Jian spoke, he walked in carrying ginseng and deer antler.
"Couldn't you wait until I'm discharged from the hospital before coming to collect the debt?" Ji Ying said.
Liang Jian smiled, not denying his purpose, and placed the tonic on her bedside table, saying, "I'm afraid you'll forget it in time."
Ji Ying picked up her phone and called Xiao Xia.
Has Black Star Technology submitted a letter of intent for cooperation?
Without needing to recall, Xiao Xia replied, "Yes, but they've already been excluded from our first round of screening because their heavy truck business is just starting out and they're not very competitive."
"Let them try. I owe Mr. Liang a favor."
After saying that, Ji Ying hung up the phone.
Liang Jian's smile vanished. "That's it?"
"Your company doesn't meet our standards and isn't even eligible for the screening. Now that you are, isn't that returning the favor?"
Liang Jian remained silent, his face cold and lifeless.
Ji Ying sighed and picked up the phone again to call Xiao Xia, "President Liang is not satisfied with this favor I did for him. Kick them out, and I will repay him with my body."
"Ji Ying!" Liang Jian, usually so composed, couldn't hold back any longer. "Who wants you?"
Ji Ying wasn't annoyed; instead, she smiled and said, "You only have two choices."
Liang Jian closed his eyes briefly. "We are not afraid of competition."
Ji Ying smiled and hung up the phone.
Liang Jian pointed at her, "This is the second time!"
Ji Ying's smile remained. "Whether you believe it or not, there will definitely be a third time."
No woman had ever been so unrestrained in front of him.
Liang Jian was caught between anger and laughter.
"Then what about the favor you owe Liang Yanchuan? How are you going to repay him?"
Seeing Ji Ying's confusion, he added, "Just because I said a few words of protest for you in front of Gu Yanchen, my brother is still in the hospital."
Ji Ying blinked. "Oh, so you're worried that I'll give the favor of our collaboration to your brother instead of you?"
Liang Jian is a cultured man, at least on the surface; he can't lose his composure in front of women.
No man likes a woman who is too smart.
This wasn't the first time he'd said this to her.
Ji Ying disagreed, saying, "I only need to love myself; I don't need anyone else's love."
Liang Jian narrowed his eyes slightly. "I hope you treat my brother the same way."
When Liang Yanchuan was mentioned again, Ji Ying fell silent, lost in thought.
Liang Jian suffered his second setback, again with Ji Ying.
Judging from his expression, the secretary knew he had fallen into Ji Ying's hands again.
Is a housewife who has been pampered by her husband for four years really that destructive once she enters the workplace?
"Mr. Liang, why don't we investigate the relationship between Miss Ji and the Third Young Master?"
Liang Jian paused...
Ji Ying's physical condition has met the criteria for discharge from the hospital.
But since it was something that had been instructed by higher authorities, the doctor advised her to stay for another day as a precaution.
Ji Ying's sleep has been irregular these days, caught in a cycle of falling asleep when she's tired and then being woken up by nightmares.
In the evening, after the nurse finished her basic examination, she fell asleep again.
She dreamt again of steel needles piercing her abdomen, and this time it was extremely painful.
Ji Ying woke up with a start in the darkness, gasping for breath.
The man's hand, which was resting on her forehead, was not withdrawn in time, and their eyes met.
Ji Ying came to her senses first, pushed his hand away, touched her lower abdomen and sat up, her eyes becoming wary.
"I... I just wanted to come see you and make sure you're okay."
The streetlights outside shone through the window, and Gu Yanchen's back, sitting on the edge of the bed, appeared somewhat stiff.
Ji Ying pressed the switch by the bedside, and the warm yellow light spread out. Gu Yanshen subconsciously shielded his eyes with his hand, but she still saw his haggard face.
At this moment, Gu Yanchen is more like a wolf bearing immense pressure but refusing to give up.
He recalled that when he first got married, the company adjusted its business strategy, and he was cornered by the stubborn shareholders on the board of directors.
At that time, Ji Ying felt sorry for him and silently stayed behind him, being a good wife and sharing his burdens.
Seeing him like this now, her heart was no longer moved.
"I'll be better off without you. When are we going to get our divorce papers?"
A struggle flickered in Gu Yanchen's bloodshot eyes, his lips tightened, and his voice carried a sense of desolation, "I don't want to leave."
Ji Ying couldn't stay calm and asked him excitedly, "Why can't we get a divorce?"
“Yingying,” a bittersweet feeling spread through Gu Yanchen’s heart, “I still love you.”
Ji Ying felt as if she had been struck by lightning.
"You love me? You hand me over to Gu Gong's family and let them extract my bone marrow, is that what you call loving me?"
"Or is it that you always knew the people around you were in danger, but you never warned me, and that's what you call loving me?"
"Knowing I was pregnant, they secretly arranged for me to have an abortion while I was injured..."
“No,” Gu Yanchen interrupted her, “I didn’t know you were pregnant beforehand. It was because your injuries were too severe and the baby couldn’t be saved that I had Xiao Chang arrange an abortion for you. I didn’t want you to be sad, so I had him keep it from you. We will have children in the future.”
"Can I still have children?" Ji Ying looked at him with red eyes. "Did you already write a script so that when I can't have children, I'll raise your and your sister's illegitimate child, and I'll be grateful to you then?"
"No, I never thought of that at all."
Ji Ying's smile was bitter. "That's because you haven't found a suitable shield for your sister yet. You insist on using me until I'm completely useless before you're willing to let go?"
"No, that's not it..."
Gu Yanchen's emotions began to fluctuate wildly.
"No?" Ji Ying sneered, "Then do you dare to deny that you care about Wen Lingxue more than my life?"
