Chapter 182 Isn't it better to be a fuel-efficient lamp?
Judging from Xie Lingfang's reaction, it doesn't seem like she's the one who attacked Xiao Xia.
Ji Ying was pondering whether to reluctantly sign the agreement and move into the Liang family home to investigate when the housekeeper suddenly received a phone call. After whispering a few words to Xie Lingfang, Xie Lingfang became somewhat anxious.
"Sign or not? If not, get out. My son might get tired of you before Kang Fu even arrives. If you refuse to leave the Liang family then, I'll have to arrange for someone to send you away."
As soon as she finished speaking, a gentle female voice came from behind.
"Does Madam Liang have guests?"
Ji Ying looked in the direction of the sound...
Shen Aizhu covered her mouth and said in surprise, "So it's Miss Ji."
Ji Ying's gaze lingered on her face for two seconds before she picked up the pen and signed the agreement.
Shen Aizhu craned her neck to look and asked, "Madam Liang, what is this...?"
Xie Lingfang's eyes softened considerably, and she sighed, "It's all because A-Jian's memory is confused, and he treats trash as treasure. As his mother, I have to consider his present situation and also plan for his recovery."
Shen Aizhu nodded. "You are the best mother."
Xie Lingfang's eyes revealed a gentle, motherly tenderness in response to her words.
But when he looked at Ji Ying, he had a fierce and tough expression.
"Do you have someone you'd like to marry?" she asked, sounding annoyed.
Shen Aizhu clenched her fingers tightly, waiting for Ji Ying's answer.
Ji Ying's eyes remained unchanged. "No."
Shen Aizhu smiled.
It seems like her brother-in-law was just playing around with her.
She looked at Xie Lingfang and said, "If she doesn't have one, Madam Liang can arrange one for her."
Xie Lingfang instantly understood the meaning behind Shen Aizhu's words and nodded with a smile, "Yes, that's what happens when you're a warm-hearted person."
Ji Ying glanced coldly at the two of them and scoffed, "You two are still making a mess of your own affairs, yet you have the leisure to sing 'Dragon and Phoenix Bring Auspiciousness' in front of me. First, make sure you don't become a laughing stock before you worry about others."
After saying that, she threw down her pen, turned around, and left.
"Is this how you treat people who've moved into my house? Stop right there!"
Xie Lingfang had barely finished speaking when Liang Yanchuan strode over.
It looks like he rushed back from the company.
What are you doing here?
With outsiders present, there were some things he couldn't say outright, so he could only ask vaguely.
Just as Ji Ying was about to answer, Xie Lingfang gave him a sharp look, "Why aren't you working for A-Jian at the company? What are you doing back here?"
Liang Yanchuan bowed his head to her and said, "Auntie, I came back to get some documents. I saw a friend here and came over to say hello."
Xie Lingfang snorted coldly, "Don't think that just because my son is injured, you can take the opportunity to seize power in the company. Humph! The Liang family's legacy will not be handed over to a bastard like you."
Ji Ying couldn't stand it anymore and stepped in front of Liang Yanchuan. "Black Star Technology is a joint-stock company. His position is determined by his ability and the board of directors. Instead of mocking his background, Madam Liang should spend more time thinking about how to help Liang Jian recover as soon as possible."
Xie Lingfang felt that she was cursing her son, and she immediately became so angry that she trembled all over.
"Butler! Bring the family discipline!"
Ji Ying and Liang Yanchuan both frowned at the same time.
Soon, an ebony whip was handed to her.
Xie Lingfang raised her hand and slapped Ji Ying!
Just as Ji Ying was about to dodge, a figure swiftly blocked her way.
With a sharp crack, the whip struck Liang Yanchuan squarely on the back.
Ji Ying's pupils contracted.
"Are you stupid?! Go and snatch the whip from his hand! How can you just stand there and let her beat you?"
As she spoke, she rushed forward and snatched the whip from Xie Lingfang's hand.
Xie Lingfang had always been the one to bully others and had never been resisted. Ji Ying's sudden counterattack stunned her on the spot.
After snatching the whip, Ji Ying lashed out at the tea table next to her.
Tea splashed everywhere, the cold tea in the porcelain pot spilled out and splashed onto Xie Lingfang's hand, making a mess on the table.
Xie Lingfang screamed, "You've gone too far! You've gone too far! This is simply..."
Ji Ying returned to Liang Yanchuan's side and interrupted her directly.
"Isn't it better to be a light bulb that doesn't burn oil? Those who know, understand that you're going through menopause, but those who don't might think you're a demon released from an old mansion hundreds of years ago, and that you should be in a museum."
"You, you, you..." Xie Lingfang was so angry she could barely stand.
Shen Aizhu quickly moved aside, afraid that she would fall on her.
"Let's go to the hospital."
Ji Ying grabbed Liang Yanchuan and left.
In the end, it was the housekeeper who helped Xie Lingfang up.
Shen Aizhu turned and went to the front yard to call Liang Yizhi.
The phone rang for a long time before it was answered.
"Brother-in-law..." she began, her voice trembling with tears, "I'm so scared."
"What's wrong?" Liang Yizhi asked in a low voice.
"It was Miss Ji who came to the Liang residence to provoke Madam Liang. Madam Liang only wanted to discipline that illegitimate child, but Miss Ji defended him in every way. To support her man, she even hit Madam Liang, who was so angry that she almost fainted. What's worse, she didn't care about anyone else, only about that bastard. She not only helped him away, but also personally drove him to the hospital."
However, after listening, Liang Yizhi did not ask her which hospital they had gone to. Instead, he said, "You are a guest. It's best if you don't meddle in or get involved in the Liang family's affairs."
Such a blunt warning left Shen Aizhu speechless for a moment.
She immediately realized that she might have acted too hastily and offended him.
But she was unwilling to give up. She changed the subject, and with a hint of probing, said softly, "Brother-in-law, I don't mean to sow discord. I'm just worried that you and Miss Ji have a close relationship. Her reckless insistence on sticking her neck out like this will cause you trouble."
Liang Yizhi's tone became a bit harsher on the other end of the phone.
"Liang Jian's condition is special; he can't withstand the slightest stimulation. Ji Ying is now his fiancée, a status accepted by the whole family to facilitate his treatment. Watch your mouth! If Liang Jian has any problems because of these rumors, no matter how much the Liang family wants to please the Shen family, they won't give you a good look!"
Liang Yizhi hung up the phone after he finished speaking.
Seeing the words "Recording saved" on her phone, an indescribable sense of frustration and anger instantly welled up in Shen Aizhu's chest.
I had hoped to find out about his relationship with that woman over the phone so I could tell my grandfather and give him a warning, but what he said was watertight.
However, the marriage alliance between the Shen and Liang families cannot be broken. At the very least, the Liang family must rely on the Shen family. Even if he cannot keep a memorial tablet forever, he should marry someone else. How can he let an outsider be his wife?
This is absolutely not allowed!
“Ji Ying, we’ll see!” Shen Aizhu said.
Ji Ying drove Liang Yanchuan to the hospital.
After being whipped, Liang Yanchuan's pale face had recovered.
“I’m fine,” he said.
Ji Ying insisted, "Go to the hospital and get a record of the domestic violence treatment; it will be useful later."
Liang Yanchuan suddenly realized.
"What's the situation with the Shen family?" Ji Ying asked.
"The Shen family of Beijing?" Liang Yanchuan thought for a moment. "This family keeps a very low profile, and Liang Weiyue rarely mentions them, so I don't know much about them. But one thing is strange: the Shen family members hold a very high position in the Liang family, are treated as honored guests, and even my second uncle has to show them respect."
“Go check it out,” Ji Ying said.
When Liang Yizhi arrived at the hospital, Liang Yanchuan's injured back had just been treated.
With delicate skin and having not suffered for many years, even though there were no open wounds, the red marks left behind were still very shocking.
Ji Ying brought him a shirt to wear, her fingers gently tracing his back, her eyes filled with undisguised tenderness...
