Chapter 207 He's quitting this "damned mistress" job.
Liang Yizhi's gaze swept over the mess in the room, lingering briefly on Ji Ying's torn trouser leg and the bloodstains on Liang Yanchuan's body, before finally landing on Xie Lingfang's face without revealing any emotion.
"Private matters?" His voice was laced with undisguised sarcasm. "This is the first time I've seen a high-ranking lady act like this; she's like a brothel madam."
Perhaps because Liang Yizhi had never spoken to her like that before, Xie Lingfang was so angry that she trembled all over.
"Second brother, you'd even say something like that to me to protect her. What, do you really have some ulterior motive, trying to steal your nephew's fiancée?"
Who stole whose woman?
Liang Yizhi frowned instantly, but before he could speak, Ji Ying had already recovered.
Without saying a word, she jumped off the examination bed, walked straight to Xie Lingfang, and raised her hand!
"Slap! Slap! Slap!"
The crisp sound of slaps rang out one after another, fast and hard.
Xie Lingfang staggered a few steps after being hit, her cheeks instantly swollen and red, and she fell to the ground in a disheveled state.
The secretaries and assistants who were usually surrounded by servants did not dare to step forward to stop him at this moment.
"I am your elder, how could you treat me like this!"
Xie Lingfang immediately burst into tears.
At this moment, Liang Weiyue and Liang Jian arrived together.
When Xie Lingfang saw her son, she cried even more bitterly.
“Son, this is the fiancée you carefully selected. She has no manners, no respect for elders, and she even hit me.”
Liang Jian frowned instantly and said to Ji Ying in a firm tone, "Apologize to my mother right now."
Ji Ying stared at him coldly, without saying a word.
Liang Jian was taken aback by her cold gaze.
Seeing the chaos at the scene, Liang Weiyue frowned at Xie Lingfang and asked, "What are you doing now?"
Xie Lingfang forced back her sobs, choking out as she argued, "What's wrong with me asking the doctor to give her a checkup? The Liang family must be clean! But your good illegitimate son... your good second brother... they all jumped out to stop me, and even let that little bitch hit me!"
Liang Jian finally noticed the doctor standing to the side holding the speculum forceps, and instantly felt unable to face Ji Ying.
Liang Weiyue's face turned ashen, and he angrily rebuked Xie Lingfang, "You've really gone mad!"
When Xie Lingfang saw her husband scolding her like that, all her pent-up resentment finally exploded.
"Liang Weiyue! Stop pretending! The only reason you're protecting this girl is because of her face, isn't it? Do you think I don't know what kind of dirty thoughts you're harboring?"
Yesterday, Shen Ruofu "unintentionally" let it slip, and she later specifically asked her son about it.
But Liang Jian didn't know that his father had a favorite "white moonlight".
At this moment, Liang Weiyue's actions in protecting Ji Ying coincided with Shen Ruofu's words, and Xie Lingfang could no longer control herself and questioned him.
"You're utterly unreasonable!" Liang Weiyue roared. "Guards! Take Madam back inside. Without my orders, she's not to step out of her room! And these people..."
He glanced at the rabble who usually followed Xie Lingfang around.
"...Fire them all! If they assaulted someone, they should go to jail or pay compensation as appropriate."
Disappointment immediately rose from the crowd.
“Liang Weiyue, you don’t have the final say in the Liang family,” Xie Lingfang said.
"Is that up to you?" Liang Weiyue retorted.
“Dad,” Liang Jian stood in front of his mother, “it’s just a misunderstanding, there’s no need to punish Mother so severely. I will handle this matter.”
Ji Ying picked up the conversation and coldly questioned him, "So you're saying that if the pliers didn't go inside me today, it's a misunderstanding, and only if they went inside can it be considered harm?"
Looking at his son, who was completely biased towards his mother and ignored his humiliated fiancée, and comparing him to the illegitimate son on the ground who had been beaten half to death for protecting Ji Ying, Liang Weiyue's eyes were filled with disappointment.
“Yingying…”
Liang Jian was about to explain when Ji Ying gestured for him to shut up.
He walked up to Xie Lingfang, snatched her handbag, and took out his own phone.
"Why don't we let the police decide whether this recording is enough to send her to jail?"
Liang Jian and Xie Lingfang both opened their eyes wide at the same time.
Xie Lingfang, in particular, became very excited.
"You schemed against me again, and even called the police to arrest me? You really are a worthless wretch, born of a mother but raised without one, I..."
Seeing that she was out of control, Liang Jian quickly restrained her.
Liang Weiyue, considering the bigger picture, said, "Hurry up and send your mother back to the Liang residence!"
Liang Jian quickly called for help to take Xie Lingfang away.
Then Liang Weiyue looked at Ji Ying and said, "What do you want? Let's talk about it."
Ji Ying didn't get excited or cry, but her gaze was fixed on Liang Weiyue's face, cold and sharp. Anyone could see that behind her calm demeanor lay a broken heart.
"Chairman Liang..."
Her hands were still gripping the torn trouser leg tightly.
"...Your biggest failure in life was not marrying Xie Lingfang for the sake of your future, but that you couldn't even manage the person next to you in bed."
Liang Weiyue's expression changed drastically, but he was speechless for a moment.
Ji Ying stopped looking at him and at anyone else. Although she looked disheveled, she straightened her back and walked out alone.
That figure stood out starkly alone in the empty corridor.
Just as her figure disappeared through the doorway, Liang Yanchuan, who had been holding on, suddenly collapsed to the ground.
"Yanchuan!"
Liang Weiyue then noticed that his son, whom he had overlooked, was seriously injured, and quickly shouted, "Doctor! Call a doctor!"
...
As Ji Ying walked out of the annex building, a Hongqi car slowly pulled up in front of her.
Just as she was about to turn and walk away, Liang Yizhi put his arm around her waist from behind, opened the car door, and pulled her into the car.
The car slowly started and left the hospital.
Ji Ying subconsciously curled up in the corner of the seat, her gaze turning to the roadside trees rushing past the window, her voice devoid of any emotion.
"Don't worry about me, I'll be fine by myself for a while."
However, Liang Yizhi's arm came closer, pulling her into his embrace and pressing her cheek against his chest.
Ji Ying felt very uncomfortable and tried to get out of his arms, but his hand gently stroked his back.
"Of course you can adjust on your own, but with me by your side, you'll recover much faster."
Ji Ying trembled in his arms and then stopped moving.
"Yingying, I'm not Gu Yanchen. Let me share your grievances, and let me dispel your sadness. In short... no matter what happened in the past, I will never be absent from your life again. Get used to having me in your life, okay?"
Ji Ying's hardness, which she had maintained for too long, softened and crumbled inch by inch under the embrace of his steady heartbeat and warm body temperature.
Subconsciously, she still wanted to put up one last resistance, but a precious yet restrained kiss landed on her forehead at that moment.
“You see, relying on me isn’t that hard, is it?” he whispered.
In an instant, all the high walls Ji Ying had built seemed to quietly collapse with that kiss.
She didn't speak, but buried her face deeper into his chest, a silent surrender.
Liang Yizhi's lips curled up slightly as he instructed the driver, "Go to Global Harbor."
After a while, Ji Ying felt much better and then realized that the person driving was Jiang Ran.
She looked up at Liang Yizhi, "What are you going there for?"
The man gently wiped away the tears from the corner of her eyes with his finger. "If you want to quickly change your mood, you need to change into new clothes."
Ji Ying thought his words made some sense, little did she know that this was a carefully woven "trap" by the man...
Global Harbor is filled with high-end luxury stores, but Liang Yizhi did not take her straight to the most expensive one.
Instead, we followed her preferences and patiently accompanied her in making her selections.
In the end, Ji Ying chose a mid-priced outfit, but it was very comfortable to wear.
She also took another set and packed it up.
Liang Yizhi made the payment promptly.
Ji Ying's mood improved, and she smiled faintly, "Thank you for the expense, Chairman Liang."
The man raised an eyebrow slightly: "Only verbal thanks?"
Ji Ying understood and stood on tiptoe to kiss him.
But Liang Yizhi turned his head away.
Ji Ying was puzzled, so he took her hand and led her back to the car.
"Dress up nicely, just in time to get the marriage certificate."
Ji Ying was stunned.
He turned his head to look at her, a hint of obvious displeasure flashing in his eyes.
"So that no one will falsely accuse me of 'stealing' my nephew's fiancée."
What Liang Yizhi wanted was always a legitimate and justifiable cause.
He's quitting this "damned mistress" job.
