Chapter 23 Who wouldn't like a woman like this?
Lin Meizhen suddenly understood why she wanted a divorce.
“Fool, you’re the legal wife. As long as he gives you money, why do you care how many concubines he takes?”
Ji Ying withdrew her gaze, raised an eyebrow, and said, "And then what? You get a sexually transmitted disease and pass it on to me, and you're happy to get sick, right?"
Lin Meizhen: "..."
"Huang Mao's father won't give you a cheap house for no reason. You'd better stand up for yourself. Tianhe Yunjing isn't a place for ordinary people to live. I don't approve of Grandpa moving there."
Lin Meizhen blinked, then suddenly laughed loudly, "Yingying, don't worry, I will definitely tell the doctor."
Because of her lingering voice, Gu Yanchen stopped in his tracks.
Gu Lingxue also looked over at them.
Lin Meizhen left, leaving Ji Ying to deal with the situation alone.
Perhaps she did it on purpose.
"sister in law."
Gu Lingxue took the initiative to call her.
Ji Ying said indifferently, "You don't have to shout if you don't want to. You are of no benefit to me, and I don't want to waste my energy on superficial politeness with you."
Gu Lingxue opened her mouth, but couldn't say a word.
Gu Yanchen frowned.
"My aunt is having a biopsy today. She'll go back to Aalborg after the results come out."
Ji Ying looked away.
"Your affairs have nothing to do with me. I came to see my grandfather, and I've finished. Goodbye."
She finished speaking gently and was about to leave.
"Ji Ying!"
Gu Yanchen's expression turned cold.
She stopped making a fuss, but it was more upsetting than if she had caused a huge uproar.
Ji Ying paused in her steps.
Her gaze as she looked back at him carried a hint of fear.
Gu Lingxue quickly grabbed Gu Yanchen's arm.
"Brother, this is a hospital, people come and go. Your uncle is still waiting for you upstairs."
Aside from that trending topic, there have been almost no rumors of discord between the president and his wife of Chenxi Group.
Gu Lingxue was trying to remind Gu Yanchen not to let people see their marital discord in public.
She's so sensible and considerate; who wouldn't like a woman like that?
Ji Ying glanced at the connection between the two, then turned and left.
Gu Lingxue subconsciously let go of his hand. "I'm sorry, brother. Did sister-in-law misunderstand again?"
However, Gu Yanshen's cold gaze softened somewhat.
He could tell she was jealous.
...
After leaving the hospital, Ji Ying went to Xiao Xia's place.
"This is your office. If you need anything, just tell Xiaoqi."
Perhaps afraid she wouldn't know, Xiao Xia pointed to the front desk.
"It's her. You saw her in my office yesterday. You'll get to know the others on your own later."
During the startup phase, Xiao Xia paid great attention to cost control. The company had a total of twenty people, and each of them held multiple positions.
Ji Ying is a person who gets things done and doesn't care about pomp and circumstance.
"Do you have a lounge here?" she asked.
Xiao Xia frowned. "You've only been at work for five minutes and you already want to rest?"
Ji Ying remained silent.
The next second, Xiao Xia placed a bunch of keys in front of her.
“I work overtime at night and sleep on the sofa. This is an industrial park, so accommodation is not convenient, but I have an apartment next to the park. If you want to move out of Gujia, you can stay there.”
Ji Ying didn't answer. "I'm not staying at your place. Find me a place, but I don't have any extra money right now. The rent will be deducted from my salary."
Xiao Xia thought for a moment, "Okay, when do you want the house?"
"In half a month," Ji Ying replied.
That was after her fourth wedding anniversary celebration.
Ji Ying paused for a moment, then asked, "Do you have a way to delete your travel records from your last trip to Aalborg?"
She was referring to the airline ticket purchase records and the consumption records of her and Gu Yanchen appearing at the same restaurant.
Xiao Xia's eyes flickered. "I'm just an ordinary citizen, it's a bit difficult for me."
Ji Ying had a plan. "For your own life, you decide what to do."
"What exactly do you want?" Xiao Xia asked curiously.
Ji Ying's eyes gleamed, but she did not answer.
Xiao Xia realized that she was planning her divorce step by step.
Trying to distance myself from Gu Yanchen is a way to protect myself from his retaliation.
Such a good best friend, if only I had provoked her sooner, the two of us wouldn't have been separated for four years.
After Ji Ying entered the lab, Xiao Xia took out her phone and dialed a number.
The phone rang several times before it was answered.
"I'm very busy, so I'll get to the point," the voice on the other end said.
"Can you do me a small favor?"
...
On her first day at work, Ji Ying quickly became familiar with everything.
Although she left the lab four years ago, she has kept a close eye on the field, including the latest cutting-edge research reports, which she remembers by heart.
I feel great at work, but as soon as I get back to Platinum Bay, my head starts to ache.
She spotted the car in the yard and knew that Gu Yanchen had returned.
Didn't he have any social engagements today?
You're back so early.
As I entered the living room, I ran into him coming downstairs.
He took a shower, and his clothes smelled of crisp cedar.
"After you finish eating, change your clothes and come with me to the hospital."
Without saying anything more, he went straight to the restaurant.
Gu Yanchen is always like this when he's busy.
But Mrs. Yang greeted her happily, "How was your first day at work, Madam? Are you happy?"
Ji Ying perked up and said, "It's good."
Aunt Yang was delighted and whispered, "To celebrate your first day at work, I made a few extra dishes. You should eat more!"
Ji Ying felt a sudden warmth in her heart.
In this cold and indifferent place, the only person who truly cared for her was the nanny, and her husband...
A bitter feeling was about to well up in his heart, but Ji Ying sarcastically suppressed it.
He never loved her, so what was she expecting?
In the restaurant, Gu Yanchen was surprised by the table full of dishes.
"Aunt Yang, what day is it today?"
Aunt Yang walked over with a smile.
"Didn't you say that your wife has lost weight recently and asked me to cook more delicious food to help her recover?"
Gu Yanchen nodded.
Ji Ying sat down opposite him and lowered her head to eat.
"You applied for the heart-boosting injection?" he asked.
Ji Ying paused, "Is there a problem?"
After asking the question, she seemed to understand the purpose of his question.
"I will work hard to earn money."
The implication was that she wouldn't ask him to increase the subsidies he gave to the Lin family.
Gu Yanchen laughed at her words.
“I’m not so destitute that I have to rely on my wife to support the family. The specialist saw your grandfather today and adjusted his short-term medication. The specialist also said that the heart-boosting injection is the only way for your grandfather to survive. Don’t worry about the application; I’ve already asked Chen Yuan to handle it.”
Ji Ying felt uneasy.
"I've stopped mentioning divorce, so could you please stop using my grandfather's life to blackmail me?"
Gu Yanchen was stunned for a moment, realizing that she had misunderstood.
"We apply ourselves, which is faster than going through the hospital's procedures."
But Ji Ying still didn't breathe a sigh of relief, "How long will it take at the slowest?"
Gu Yanchen assumed she was just worried about the old man's health.
He thought for a moment, "It should be done in about a week."
A week wouldn't stop her divorce plans.
"Thank you."
She continued eating with her head down.
For some reason, her aloofness made Gu Yanchen suddenly lose his appetite...
After dinner, the weather was a bit muggy, so Ji Ying changed into an apricot-colored cotton and linen outfit and went to the hospital with Gu Yanchen.
"Wen Li has been diagnosed with ovarian cancer, and the surgery time is being arranged. As a junior, you should go and see her. If you don't like her anymore, you don't need to say anything when you get there; just leave it to me."
Ji Ying understood that he was giving her a warning, and nodded obediently.
When he got out of the car, Gu Yanchen took out several boxes of regular gifts from the trunk, and the last one was a small jewelry bag.
It has the Tiffany logo printed on it.
Is it appropriate to give jewelry when visiting a patient?
Ji Ying forced herself not to guess and looked away.
