Chapter 170 Ji Ying reached out and wrapped her arms around his neck
“This is not child’s play. Establishing a care relationship based on false perceptions will do more harm than good to Liang Jian’s recovery. We cannot cooperate with his illusions.”
Liang Weiyue immediately nodded in agreement, “Yes, this is outrageous.”
The moment the words left his mouth, the heart monitor sounded an alarm.
"Don't discuss this here, let's go somewhere else to think about it."
The doctor rushed back to the bedside.
The four of them went to the corner of the corridor, and Xie Lingfang became anxious.
“Honey, listen to this. If you deny it, our son won’t be able to take it. Are you just going to watch something happen to him?”
Liang Weiyue said, "But our Liang family is a prominent family here. If we suddenly have a 'fiancée' who is divorced, what will the outside world think? Once these rumors spread, it will damage the Liang family's reputation."
Ji Ying glanced at Liang Weiyue, her gaze inadvertently sweeping over Liang Yizhi's tense profile, a barely perceptible smile crossing her face.
But Xie Lingfang became agitated, "Didn't you hear what the doctor said? My son is lying in a hospital bed right now. My reputation and face are not as important as his life!"
“Sister-in-law, this is not the right way to solve the problem,” Liang Yizhi retorted.
"Then what do you mean by the right way? Watch him get so agitated that he faints again or gets even worse?"
After Xie Lingfang finished speaking, she suddenly paused for a moment. After regaining her senses, she scanned the two men in front of her back and forth.
“Something’s not right between you two,” she said.
These two brothers rarely work together, but today they unexpectedly targeted her twice.
An indescribable strangeness permeated the air.
Liang Weiyue coughed lightly, "Who among us has the right to discuss whether or not to agree? This is clearly Miss Ji's business."
As soon as the words were spoken, everyone's attention finally fell on Ji Ying, who had been ignored all along.
Xie Lingfang immediately grabbed Ji Ying's hand and said righteously, "Don't try to shirk responsibility! My son is like this because of you..."
“Protecting her is Liang Jian’s own choice; don’t try to morally blackmail her,” Liang Yizhi said, intending to thank Lingfang for her words.
Ji Ying's gaze lingered on his face for a moment, recalling the absurd three-year agreement, then she suddenly curled her lips into a smile and nodded decisively, "Okay."
Xie Lingfang immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Liang Yizhi's face darkened further, like a cat whose treat had been stolen but who still had to maintain his composure.
Ji Ying subtly withdrew her gaze, deliberately avoiding looking at him.
“Since that’s the case, then we’ll cooperate. After A-Jian wakes up, it will be hard on Miss Ji. As soon as he recovers, this relationship will end immediately,” Liang Weiyue said.
"Does unilateral recognition count as a relationship? If you pick up another woman outside the Civil Affairs Bureau now, does that count as taking a second wife?" Liang Yizhi coldly corrected him.
"Second brother, how could you say that?"
Xie Lingfang was hit where it hurt.
If it weren't for her keeping a close watch on him 24/7 all these years, he would have had countless sisters-in-law by now.
Liang Yanchuan's mother was not found out, otherwise she would have died too.
Liang Weiyue was taken aback. "Yes, yes, they have no relation."
Liang Yizhi turned his face away expressionlessly, inwardly displeased.
Just then, a nurse rushed over and said, "The patient has woken up and keeps asking where his fiancée is."
In the ward, Liang Jian sat up on his own once again.
Upon seeing Ji Ying, he immediately stretched out his hands and asked affectionately, "Yingying, where have you been?"
Liang Yizhi appeared calm and collected, but the corners of his mouth were pursed into a straight line.
Ji Ying stepped forward, and Liang Jian, full of anticipation, thought she was going to hold his hand. However, she only held his wrist, put his two hands together, and placed them back on the quilt.
“Yingying…” Liang Jian frowned.
"Don't touch me until I'm fully recovered."
"I can be discharged from the hospital now."
"I mean, when your memory returns to normal."
Liang Jian, “…”
Just then, Liang Weiyue received a call from Liang Yanchuan and rushed back to the company.
Only four people remained in the ward, and the atmosphere suddenly became awkward.
"What are you standing here for? Go fetch a basin of water and wash A-Jian's face," Xie Lingfang ordered imperiously.
Ji Ying turned to look at her, "Am I a caregiver?"
Xie Lingfang immediately adopted the demeanor of a future mother-in-law, saying, "You have to take good care of your fiancé."
Ji Ying raised an eyebrow, "Do you kneel down to serve Chairman Liang at home?"
Xie Lingfang was speechless.
Seeing this, Liang Jian suddenly spoke up: "Yingying, I want to eat an apple."
"Hurry up and peel an apple for him!" Xie Lingfang finally vented her frustration.
However, before Ji Ying could turn around, Liang Yizhi had already picked up the knife and apple from the fruit plate and started peeling them deftly.
Xie Lingfang had originally prepared a lot of nitpicking, such as "the skin should be peeled thinner" and "remember to cut it into thin strips".
But when he saw that it was his displeased brother-in-law who was personally handling the matter, he immediately swallowed all his demands and didn't dare to utter a single word.
Liang Yizhi's apple-peeling technique was so swift it was almost ruthless.
Looking into his second uncle's unreadable eyes, Liang Jian felt a chill run down his neck for no apparent reason.
I always felt like he wasn't peeling an apple, but rather cutting his own neck.
In less than a minute, an apple was cut into even pieces and placed on a plate.
Liang Yizhi placed the plate on the small table in front of him, his tightly pursed lips uttering only one word, "Eat!"
Liang Jian shuddered, looked at Ji Ying, and, taking advantage of the situation, wanted her to feed him.
Liang Yizhi gently stuck the fruit knife into the bedside table next to Liang Jian, the handle trembling slightly.
"Do you want me to feed you?" he asked.
Liang Jian shook his head and quickly stuffed the apple into his mouth.
Liang Yizhi glanced at him emotionlessly, then turned and left the ward.
As soon as he left, Xie Lingfang breathed a sigh of relief, but she was still in shock and angry, so she took her anger out on Ji Ying.
She snapped at him, "What are you standing there for? A-Jian just woke up. Hurry up and find the doctor to learn about the precautions and take good care of him."
Ji Ying glanced at her, said nothing, and turned to walk out.
Liang Jian rubbed his forehead. "Mom, weren't you two on good terms? When did things turn out like this?"
Xie Lingfang, "..."
Are we doing well?
Not far from the ward, Ji Ying was suddenly grabbed by the wrist and dragged into an equipment room.
The door clicked shut.
In the dim light, Liang Yizhi pinned her against the wall, his eyes surging with restrained possessiveness.
"Let's talk."
"No discussion."
Ji Ying turned her face away.
"Then I'll kiss you."
Ji Ying turned to look at him and said, "Don't be a hooligan."
Liang Yizhi gritted his teeth, "If I agree to be his 'fiancée,' then what am I?"
Ji Ying suddenly laughed and reached out to wrap her arms around his neck.
"Didn't you ask me to wait for you for three years? Do something else; it won't stop me from waiting for you."
