Chapter 41 Finding a Decorative Object to Serve as My Living Amulet
"Is it true that cheating is always right as long as you don't get caught?" Xiao Xia asked.
Gu Yanchen remained silent, staring at her with an intimidating aura that seemed to pierce through her.
Just when Xiao Xia was about to give up, Xiao Chang arrived.
Seeing his younger sister trembling like a leaf, he said irritably, "Why did you come here to scare her?"
Gu Yanchen closed his eyes briefly. "I have something to ask her."
Xiao Chang shielded his younger sister behind him, saying, "Ask her gently, she's timid."
Gu Yanchen almost rolled his eyes, then looked at Xiao Xia, "Does she have any close male friends while she's with you?"
Xiao Xia grabbed Xiao Chang's clothes, her arrogance returning.
"You've gotten involved in a fake incestuous relationship, so what if she cheated on you? With you around..." Isn't that disgusting?
Before Xiao Xia could finish speaking, Xiao Chang covered her mouth.
"Ancestor, it's just the couple having a little tiff, why are you making such a fuss?"
"Xiao Chang," Gu Yanchen said with a half-smile, "this is your obedient and gentle younger sister?"
Xiao Chang turned to look at him, neither humble nor arrogant, "What do you mean 'my sister'? Didn't you say she was our sister when we were little?"
Xiao Xia immediately pinched him, "Brother, I don't want this kind of person to be my brother."
Xiao Chang lowered his voice and said, "Good boy, it's just a temporary measure. He has no reason to hit his sister, let alone his sister's brother."
Xiao Xia: "..."
“Xiao Chang,” Gu Yanchen said impatiently, “I’m planning to make some investment here for your sister to improve their working environment.”
“No,” Xiao Xia interrupted, “Our shareholders don’t agree.”
Ji Ying has been trying to distance herself from him in order to get a divorce. If she gets involved with Gu Yanchen here, how will she get rid of him?
Gu Yanchen narrowed his eyes. "Which shareholder?"
Xiao Xia paused for a moment, then said, "Yingying, and me too."
Gu Yanchen smiled slightly, "Does she know about your relationship with us?"
...
At that moment, Ji Ying and Zhang Cheng were coming out of the cat rescue station.
She sold her hair clip for a considerable sum at a jewelry recycling counter and specifically asked the shop owner to give her 50,000 yuan in cash.
As soon as she got the money, she handed it over to Zhang Cheng.
“I heard that the cat rescue center is short of funds, and I am also short of money, so this is all I can contribute.”
Zhang Cheng held the money, feeling somewhat uneasy.
“Ms. Gu... I know why you approached me, but there’s no need to ask me about your mother-in-law’s illness in this way. I can only say that I made the diagnosis based on the results from the laboratory.”
Upon hearing the words "laboratory department," Ji Ying felt reassured.
“Dr. Zhang, please don’t take it personally. I was trying to get some reliable information from you, but this 50,000 yuan is also from the bottom of my heart. Your family is with you and can’t understand the sadness of being homeless. These stray cats really need a home.”
Zhang Cheng was amused by her humorous comparison.
"Can you communicate with them?"
Ji Ying smiled gently, "People without family also have wandering hearts. This isn't synesthesia, it's just some feelings."
Zhang Cheng paused for two seconds, then quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, I didn't understand your good intentions, I..."
Ji Ying waved her hand, "Only by dealing with these stray animals can I realize that the resilience of life is far beyond imagination. If Dr. Zhang has any concerns, I will come here by myself from now on."
Zhang Cheng was extremely embarrassed.
Just then, Gu Lingxue's sweet voice came from behind them.
"Dr. Zhang, sister-in-law, are you two on a date?"
Ji Ying had taken out her phone to make a call, but upon hearing her voice, she took the phone back into her hand.
She and Zhang Cheng turned around and looked at Gu Lingxue at the same time.
Zhang Cheng panicked a little, "Of course not, Miss Gu, don't talk nonsense."
Gu Lingxue smiled and said, "My sister-in-law is beautiful, and Dr. Zhang is unmarried, so it's normal for him to like her."
Zhang Cheng panicked even more, "Miss Gu, I swear to God, there are some things you can't say carelessly."
Gu Lingxue blinked. "I won't tell my brother."
Zhang Cheng was so frightened he didn't know how to explain.
Ji Ying looked at her calmly and said, "You're quite adept at venting the filth in your heart."
Gu Lingxue was smiling brightly when her face suddenly turned pale, and she immediately changed the subject.
"Sister-in-law, my brother said he neglected me last night, so he gave me a card today so I can come shopping and relax."
Knowing she was showing off, Ji Ying smiled faintly: "Using someone else's husband's card to show off, you're only fit to be a pastime."
Gu Lingxue's expression changed slightly. Usually a very composed person, she was now like boiling water, unable to calm down.
“Sister-in-law, you really think you're the lady of the house. If it weren't for what happened to the Gu family back then, and my brother and his closest people being threatened, he wouldn't have had to find a decoration to be my living talisman. Speaking of which, I have to thank you for the peaceful life I've had all these years. Um... Sister-in-law, if there's anything you like, I'll buy it for you as a way of thanking you.”
Ji Ying could tell that she was trying to provoke her. In fact, she had already come to accept the fact that she had been used by the scumbag for four years.
Although she saw through Gu Lingxue's intentions, she still had to go along with her.
Because she's using this thing to fuel her divorce proceedings.
So, after Gu Lingxue finished speaking, she raised her hand and slapped the other person across the face.
Gu Lingxue was surprised that Ji Yingzhen would hit her, but she reacted very quickly and immediately screamed and fell to the ground.
The bodyguards rushed over from a distance.
Gu Lingxue's tears welled up instantly.
“Sister-in-law, even if you hit me, I’m going to tell my brother that you and Dr. Zhang are dating.”
The bodyguards all heard what she said.
However, it was Mrs. Gu who hurt Miss Gu, and she was struggling with whether or not to deal with Ji Ying.
Zhang Cheng became nervous because of Gu Lingxue's words.
"Miss Gu, don't spread rumors. Mrs. Gu and I have never even held hands."
Ji Ying looked at Zhang Cheng and said, "I'm sorry, Dr. Zhang, a little family conflict has dragged you into this. You can go now, I'll handle the rest."
Zhang Cheng was more than happy to agree, "Then you must explain clearly to President Gu that there really is nothing between us."
Ji Ying closed her eyes briefly, indicating that he could rest assured.
Zhang Cheng glanced at Gu Lingxue, his eyes filled with resentment, and then left.
The tears in Gu Lingxue's eyes perfectly concealed her emotions. Ji Ying looked at her coldly and put her phone back in her bag.
Gu Lingxue's heart skipped a beat.
I was careless; Ji Ying may have recorded what she said.
She has been careful and cautious to get to where she is now, and she will not allow anything out of control to happen.
So she tightened her grip and suddenly sprang up from the ground, lunging at Ji Ying.
And she cried out in a choked voice, "Sister-in-law, why did you hit me? Why..."
Ji Ying reacted quickly, taking a half step back and grabbing Gu Lingxue's throat just as Gu Lingxue was about to grab her. However, this played right into Gu Lingxue's hands.
Gu Lingxue grabbed her bag and yanked it hard.
Ji Ying immediately understood her intention.
Yes, she did record Gu Lingxue's words.
She had prepared a "big gift" for their fourth wedding anniversary. If this recording could be added, the extra "surprise" would surely be unforgettable for Gu Yanchen.
So she quickly protected her bag and started shoving Gu Lingxue, who was acting like a madwoman.
Seeing this, the bodyguard assumed that Gu Lingxue was having a relapse and immediately took action.
"Quickly separate them, but don't hurt Miss Gu."
