Chapter 98 Returning to Platinum Bay feels like a lifetime ago
Just as he was about to grab Ji Ying's wrist.
Liang Yanchuan raised his hand to block the middle.
Gu Gong said sternly, "Don't meddle in other people's business."
Just as Liang Yanchuan was about to speak, Ji Ying squeezed his arm.
"Thank you for today. I'll handle the Gu family matters. You can go now."
Liang Yanchuan knew that continuing to be with Ji Ying would easily expose his identity.
So he glared at Gu Gong and left.
"Who is that person? What is your relationship with him?" Gu Gong asked.
Ji Ying scoffed, "You actually have the nerve to pry into other people's gossip? I thought Master Gong was always thinking about his wife."
"You..." Gu Gong suppressed his anger, "You are still a daughter-in-law of the Gu family, and Wen Li is still your mother-in-law. She kidnapped you and had someone rape you. In the end, it's all a family conflict. What kind of behavior is it to take it to the police station?"
Ji Ying raised her eyes and chuckled, "You mean, the law has to give way to the Gu family's dirty deeds?"
Gu Gong's forehead veins bulged. "I haven't settled the score with you yet for having Zheng Xing seduce me!"
After saying that, he turned to his bodyguard and roared, "What are you standing there for? I've made all the arrangements. Take her to the police station to sign some papers. The case must be dropped today!"
Just as the bodyguard was about to step forward, a woman's voice suddenly came from the side.
"Because in your eyes, kidnapping and raping are trivial matters that can be done at will, so you enjoy doing them. On the surface, you are like a loyal husband, but in your heart you are a beast in human skin!"
"You..." Gu Gong saw that it was Aunt Yang and immediately deflated, "You don't know anything, what are you yelling about?"
Aunt Yang stood next to Ji Ying and said, "I don't understand anything, but I can tell the difference between good people and bad people."
Gu Gong closed his eyes briefly. "What are you doing here?"
Aunt Yang continued to argue with him, saying, "None of your business. I don't want to see you. Get out."
Gu Gong clicked his tongue. "Why are you talking to me like that? You have no idea what I'm doing, you..."
Before he could finish speaking, Aunt Yang grabbed a mop and started hitting him all over the head.
Under the protection of his bodyguards, Gu Gong repeatedly regretted his actions. In the end, he told Ji Ying, "You're lucky," and left.
At this point, Ji Ying was certain that her intuition was correct.
There are deeper reasons why Yang Sao dislikes Wen Li and Gu Gong.
Gu Gong may seem fierce towards Yang Sao, but he actually always gives in to her.
"Madam, are you alright?"
Yang's voice brought Ji Ying back to her senses.
"Aunt Yang, what brings you to the hospital? Are you feeling unwell?"
Aunt Yang shook her head, but then covered her lower abdomen.
Ji Ying quickly helped her sit down on the bench, took the crumpled ultrasound report from her hand, and her fingertips trembled almost imperceptibly.
"You're pregnant, do you need to take precautions to protect the pregnancy?"
It's been almost three months; the baby must have been conceived at the old house.
Aunt Yang didn't flinch. "Go ahead and laugh if you want."
Does the other party know?
Yang's husband died many years ago, so it's understandable that she's looking for someone else.
Mrs. Yang shook her head. "I don't want this child, but my health doesn't allow for surgery right now. I need to be hospitalized first. I have to go back to Platinum Bay to ask Mr. Gu for leave."
A terrifying suspicion began to grow wildly in Ji Ying's mind.
"But it says you need to be hospitalized immediately, otherwise there is a risk of severe bleeding. And you just went and hit someone."
Ji Ying couldn't help but laugh as she spoke.
Aunt Yang smiled sheepishly.
"How about this, I'll go to Platinum Bay and ask for leave for you while I'm there," Ji Ying said.
...
Meanwhile, Gu Gong left the hospital.
She got into the car and made a phone call, her tone still somewhat angry, "She refuses to go to the police station to drop the case."
Gu Yi responded on the phone: "Whether you withdraw or not, my Langqilou is being watched by the police and Gu Yanchen. I almost ran into Gu Yanchen tonight. Making amends afterward is useless. I might as well remind your adopted daughter not to cause me any more trouble in the future!"
"Then... what should we do?" Gu Gong asked.
"Langqilou will probably have to close for a few days to reorganize. Why don't we take these two days to confront Gu Yanchen?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Gong gripped his phone tightly.
Once the truth comes out, it foreshadows that he will become enemies with his other son.
"But what about my wife? Are we just going to watch her go to jail?" Gu Gong asked.
"Why are you still so hung up on a woman who's about to die? There are so many women in the world, why do you have to go after this old hag?"
Gu Gong opened his mouth, his throat feeling a little congested.
Wen Li was still confidently waiting for him to bail her out at the police station.
"Then you shouldn't let Ji Ying off the hook either," Gu Gong said.
...
When Ji Ying returned to Platinum Bay, Gu Yanchen had not yet returned.
The house was so empty that your footsteps echoed, and it seemed even colder than before.
Actually, it's been less than a month since she officially left, but it already feels like a lifetime ago.
I went to Aunt Yang's room and packed her clothes and other belongings into my luggage.
When I came out again, the living room lights were already on.
Gu Yanchen returned and sank into the sofa.
His coat was carelessly tossed aside, his shirt collar was open, and he looked somewhat tired.
Chen Yuan stood three steps away, bowing slightly, and whispered, "President Gu, I'm afraid someone is trying to set up a trap at the board meeting the day after tomorrow."
“Liao Feng and Wu Guoyong only hold a combined 13% of the shares. If they want to unite all the board members against me, they can probably only do so by getting my father to lobby on their behalf,” Gu Yanchen said.
Therefore, Chen Yuan was very worried.
"He has been keeping the fact that Young Master Yi has returned a secret. In addition, because of Madam, you and Master Gong have become increasingly estranged. I'm afraid Master Gong has already sided with Young Master Yi."
Seeing that Gu Yanchen remained silent, Chen Yuan suggested, "The setback in the heavy truck business has already been a fatal blow to you. If Master Gong were to side with outsiders, it would be tantamount to cutting off the fuel supply. Why not give Master Gong some face and get Ms. Wen out of the predicament? At least that would stabilize the situation on one side."
Ji Ying had no intention of eavesdropping on their conversation, but when it came to getting Wen Li out of trouble, she knew that Gu Yanchen had the ability to do so, and she couldn't just stand by and watch.
She sneezed and came out from around the corner.
Both men looked at her at the same time.
Chen Yuan was surprised.
Ji Ying explained somewhat embarrassedly, "Aunt Yang is sick. I happened to run into her at the hospital, so I came to pack some things for her and take them over."
"Chen Yuan, go to the hospital."
Gu Yanchen stared at Ji Ying, his gaze like a deep sea immersed in the night, calm on the surface but turbulent within.
Chen Yuan understood and took the bag from Ji Ying's hand.
Only the two of them remained in the living room.
When couples going through a divorce face each other without arguing, the atmosphere becomes somewhat strange.
Ji Ying didn't want to be alone with him, especially late at night, in a place where the two of them used to live.
She lifted her foot to leave, but Gu Yanchen grabbed her hand. She panicked even more and shook him off as if she had been electrocuted.
Gu Yanchen wasn't annoyed; he looked at her and chuckled softly.
"Why are you acting like a child?"
Ji Ying ignored him and said coldly, "You want to bail Wen Li out?"
"I have this idea."
He was surprisingly honest.
“I hope she takes responsibility for what she did,” Ji Ying said.
Gu Yanchen gently lifted a strand of her long hair by her ear, brushed it against his nose, and said with a faint smile, "So, are you ordering me around as Mrs. Gu, or are you begging me as her ex-wife?"
