Chapter 30 Two thin nightgowns clung tightly together
Chen Yuan realized he had made a serious mistake and looked at Ji Ying awkwardly.
"Madam, I'm so sorry. Mr. Gu asked me to bring Mr. Sun to the hospital to see you, but we ran into Miss Gu just as we arrived at the hospital entrance. Miss Gu said that Ms. Wen's condition is more serious, so..."
He was too embarrassed to say what he was about to say.
But Ji Ying filled in the blanks for him.
"You couldn't do anything to her, so you could only let her take the doctor who treated me away. You haven't completed Mr. Gu's task, and you hope I can go back and plead for you?"
Chen Yuan felt extremely guilty. "I'm sorry, Madam."
"Sister-in-law, don't blame Assistant Chen."
After Old Sun left, Gu Lingxue stood in front of Chen Yuan with a righteous and awe-inspiring air.
"I was worried about my mother, so blame me if you want."
When it comes to winning people's hearts, Gu Lingxue is the best.
Ji Ying raised an eyebrow. "Why would I blame you? You can act so arrogantly and recklessly in front of me, isn't that all because of Gu Yanchen?"
Just then, Gu Yanchen called, and Ji Ying answered.
"You've seen it? What did Old Sun say?"
Ji Ying glanced at Chen Yuan and said calmly, "I didn't see him, he's already gone."
Gu Yan was furious.
"Ji Ying, I'm urging you to see a doctor for your own good. Why are you getting so worked up about your own health? When will you stop being so childish?"
Ji Ying hung up the phone, ignored the two of them, and left the hospital.
I worked overtime at Qingsui Power until after 10 p.m. before returning to Platinum Bay.
Unexpectedly, the living room was brightly lit.
Gu Yan sat on the sofa, while Gu Lingxue and Chen Yuan stood, both looking somewhat nervous.
Ji Ying glanced at them coldly and was about to go upstairs when Gu Yanchen called her back.
Why didn't you explain what happened this afternoon over the phone?
Ji Ying paused, turned to look at him, and asked, "President Gu has already made up his mind. Will he accept my childish rebuttal?"
Gu Yanchen's expression changed slightly.
Chen Yuan quickly said, "Madam, it's all my fault. Old Master Sun has already rescheduled the appointment, and you'll be able to see him in two months at most."
Two months later, the dried plum vegetables had gone bad.
Ji Ying didn't even look at him, but continued to stare at Gu Yanchen.
"So you're making your assistant take the blame again?"
Dissatisfied, Gu Yanchen got up and walked towards her.
"Chen Yuan has had six months of performance bonus deducted and is on probation for three months. Ling Xue has realized her mistake and is feeling very guilty. Her emotions cannot fluctuate drastically. If you have any other complaints, tell me. I will do anything to satisfy you."
Ji Ying's eyes were full of mockery. "Sorry, I thought you stopped me from going upstairs so they would apologize to me. I didn't expect you were warning me not to let this upset your dear sister. You've had your way with the public display of affection. I understand. Can you go goodnight now?"
"Ji Ying!" Gu Yanchen was getting annoyed. "What do you want from me to stop making a scene?"
See, it's all her fault again.
Ji Ying smiled, but the smile didn't reach her eyes.
"Tell your sister to get out, and I'll stop making a scene."
Gu Yanshen's jawline tightened into a sharp line, and the air pressure around him instantly plummeted to freezing point.
Suddenly, Gu Lingxue rushed towards Ji Ying and knelt down in front of her with a thud.
“Sister-in-law, it’s all my fault. My father has passed away, and my mother is my only family. I was worried about her and hoped that Dr. Sun’s diagnosis could give her new hope. But Dr. Sun thought it was a terminal illness and made excuses not to prescribe any medicine. I’m so sorry, so sorry. Please don’t blame my brother, and don’t argue with him. He loves you, so don’t make him sad anymore.”
Her thin shoulders trembled slightly, and when she looked up, tears still clung to her eyelashes, like a fledgling bird soaked by the rain.
But Ji Ying's attitude was very cold.
"Miss Gu's illness is quite peculiar. My husband is your cure. He only seems to act up when there's a rift between us. His tears are like a valve, flowing freely."
"Ji Ying!" Dark mist welled up in Gu Yanchen's eyes. "She's apologizing to you, how could you become so vicious?"
"Brother, don't talk about sister-in-law like that. Please stop arguing because of me."
Gu Lingxue cried as she tried to comfort him, and Gu Yanchen bent down to help her up.
Ji Ying's eyes were full of sarcasm. "So that's why President Gu has been getting angrier and angrier at me lately. Turns out it's because he's been exposed to your sister's orange scent."
Gu Yanchen was stunned.
Ji Ying went upstairs, her shoes making a cold, sharp, broken sound on the marble steps.
She thought the matter was over, but at three in the morning, Ji Ying was awakened by a suppressed, intermittent sobbing.
The sound was coming from the window of the guest room.
At first, Ji Ying didn't want to pay attention, but the crying not only didn't stop, but turned into violent dry heaving and muffled thuds as her body hit the furniture.
Ji Ying's heart sank. She was skeptical of Gu Lingxue's depression based on her character, and she believed that Gu Lingxue was faking it.
But those commotions were really quite frightening...
Unable to resist her innate kindness, she got out of bed, opened the door, and went out to check.
Just as he stepped out, the study door opened, and Gu Yanchen appeared in the doorway wearing only a thin nightgown.
As the two were staring at each other, a loud bang came from the guest room. Gu Yanshen strode over and knocked on the door.
"Lingxue, open the door! Open the door quickly!"
However, there was no response from inside the door.
"Break down the door. If she doesn't come out, shouting won't do any good."
Ji Ying was as calm as emotionless metal.
Gu Yanchen glanced at her, then looked away and continued staring at the closed door.
"Lingxue, I'm going to kick down the door. Don't stand behind it, okay?"
After he shouted, he pressed his ear against the door to listen to the sounds inside, and his eyes instantly darkened.
With a "bang," the door lock broke. Gu Yanchen reached out to turn on the light and strode inside.
The guest room was a mess.
Gu Lingxue stood amidst a pile of overturned furniture, wearing a sexy blue slip dress. Her long hair was disheveled, and she was hunched over, holding a knife to her wrist.
She shook her head frantically, muttering, "No, you're a menace! They all reject you! You drove a wedge between my brother and sister-in-law, and you even faked being sick! You're awful, utterly wicked..."
Ji Ying frowned.
Her words all pointed back to the mockery she had received from him just hours earlier.
Regardless of whether she was actually having a depressive episode tonight, these words were enough to incite Gu Yanchen to even greater anger towards her.
“Lingxue, look at me, put the knife down.”
Gu Yanchen's voice startled Gu Lingxue.
"Brother, don't worry about me. Sister-in-law... she'll scold me... I'm in so much pain. Let me die. I'll be happy if I die."
Gu Yanchen frowned, clearly stung by Gu Lingxue's words.
He pounced at lightning speed, grabbing Gu Lingxue's wrist that was holding the knife with such force that his knuckles turned white.
Gu Lingxue, feeling the pain, let go of her grip.
She collapsed to the ground, and Gu Yanchen pulled her into his arms without a moment's hesitation.
Yes, right in front of Ji Ying.
Gu Yanchen and another woman, their thin nightgowns pressed tightly together, had completely broken down the last vestiges of their semblance of intimacy.
