Chapter 90 He's the adulterer, want to get to know him?
“Lingxue is a sensible child. Even if your aunt and I divorce, you must continue to take good care of her. This is my only condition.”
Wen Lingxue took a deep breath and looked at Gu Yanchen with tears in her eyes.
The man had a cold and stern face, and his expression was inscrutable.
After a long pause, he spoke indifferently, "I will guarantee her a lifetime of wealth and honor, but she must go abroad and never set foot in the country again."
Wen Lingxue swayed, tears welling up in her eyes.
"Thank you...brother."
Gu Gong gritted his teeth and signed the divorce agreement.
Wen Li slumped to the ground, blankly signing the document, as if all her strength had been drained away.
Gu Yanchen took the agreement, a cold smile playing on his lips.
"Congratulations, Father. You will be free in a month."
Gu Gong turned his face away, unwilling to look at him.
As Gu Yanchen passed by Wen Lingxue, he didn't stop and coldly said, "Go abroad as soon as you're healed."
Wen Lingxue bit her lip, her fingers clenched so tightly that her knuckles turned white.
Tianluxuan closed its doors early.
Wen Li broke down in tears, "Husband, I can't bear to leave you..."
"Enough!"
Having been constantly suppressed by Gu Yanchen, Gu Gong's temper flared up.
"I don't care who you drugged, but you have to clean up the mess afterwards. Look at Yan Chen's attitude today... I, Gu Gong, have never been so humiliated in my life!"
After saying that, he slammed the door and left in a fit of rage.
Wen Li clutched her chest and grabbed her daughter's hand.
"Lingxue, are you going to abandon your mother too?"
“Mom,” Wen Lingxue said emotionally, “we’ve been tricked by Ji Ying again. The only way to protect ourselves is to go along with my brother. You have one month left. If you can ruin Ji Ying’s reputation and make my brother despise her, you and Uncle will still have a chance to turn things around.”
This sentence hit Wen Li where it hurt.
What she cared about most was her marriage to Gu Gong.
After ten years of hard work, Gu Gong had no other woman by his side besides her.
Wen Li's eyes blazed with overwhelming hatred. "Ji Ying, I'm going to fight you to the death."
...
Ji Ying delivered the painting to Tianhe Yun Jing and returned it along with Old Master Lin's bank card.
Lin Meizhen asked in surprise, "You didn't spend a single penny?"
"I'm leaving with nothing; consider this painting as a breakup fee."
Lin Meizhen was extremely dissatisfied. "Gu Yanchen can squander hundreds of millions on his mistress, so it's only right that you ask for hundreds of millions in alimony! You've been with him for four years for nothing, and you're going to leave with nothing? Are you stupid?"
Ji Ying's gaze was calm: "I married him back then only to save my grandfather, not for his money. This was an unequal marriage to begin with, but now that my grandfather is doing well, the four years have been worth it."
Grandpa Lin nodded: "Yingying is right. We shouldn't covet what doesn't belong to us. Nothing is more important than Yingying getting a smooth divorce. Next time we choose a son-in-law, Grandpa will personally oversee the selection. No matter how rich a scumbag is, we can't accept him."
“Dad, I’m just thinking about Yingying. Women who remarry will always be considered inferior. If they don’t have money to support themselves, their husband’s family will look down on them even more.”
Grandpa Lin was furious. "Money, money, money! You're so clear-headed when you're advising others, but what about when that man dumped you? When he married a rich girl, did you ask him for a breakup fee? When you were pregnant, did you tell him?"
Lin Meizhen felt a little awkward. "I truly love him."
Ji Ying interrupted, "Aunt Lin, what's Lin Yan's father's name?"
Lin Meizhen asked warily, "Why are you asking this?"
Ji Ying joked, "Let's see if you two still have a chance to get back together."
An unnatural look crossed Lin Meizhen's face. "It's been too long, I don't remember."
Ji Ying: "Then won't you feel regretful if you don't tell him that you gave birth to a son for him?"
Lin Meizhen tilted her head, concealing the regret on her face.
"I didn't take good care of my son, and even if I had the chance, I wouldn't have the face to tell him."
Ji Ying wanted to ask more questions when her phone rang.
It was Xue Qin calling.
She got up and said goodbye to her grandfather, leaving Tianhe Yunjing while answering the phone.
“Miss Ji, the female server who was supposed to take you to your room last night is in room 508 of the Honeymoon Hotel. Mr. Liang said you are in charge of her.”
Ji Ying narrowed her eyes slightly, her fingertips turning white.
"Thank you, Secretary Xue."
The call ended, on the other end.
Xue Qin looked at Liang Yizhi, "She only thanked me, and didn't mention you at all."
Liang Yizhi's gaze remained fixed on the document. "Is her concern something very important?"
Xue Qin: "..."
Just as Ji Ying reached her car in the parking lot, she suddenly caught a glimpse of a figure rapidly approaching through the reflection of the car door.
Her heart tightened, and she instinctively gripped her handbag tighter.
The next second, a stranger's hand landed on her shoulder.
Ji Ying turned around abruptly, and the high-voltage stun gun in her hand was precisely pressed against the waist of the person who had just entered.
"Ah~~~~ Ying..."
"Why is it you?"
Upon seeing that it was Liang Yanchuan, Ji Ying quickly put away the stun gun.
Liang Yanchuan clutched the spot where he had been electrocuted, his legs went weak, and he was about to collapse when Ji Ying quickly opened the back door and half-supported, half-pushed him into the car.
Liang Yanchuan's forehead was covered in cold sweat, and he sank into his seat, gasping for breath.
Ji Ying asked coldly, "Why were you following me so suspiciously?"
After a long pause, Liang Yanchuan finally managed to speak with difficulty, "I... came here specifically to wait for you."
"You've known about this location all along?" Ji Ying's voice suddenly turned cold.
However, Liang Yanchuan did not answer her question.
“Last night…” He stared at the car roof, his Adam’s apple bobbing, “I saw you being led into the elevator, but…”
His fingers unconsciously clenched into a fist.
"I'm sorry, it's my fault. I've been worried about you all night."
Because he was worried, he was willing to reveal his whereabouts just to follow her here and ask her if she was alright.
Why was he afraid to admit that he was Lin Yan? Ji Ying couldn't guess the reason, but she was not moved by his concern at this moment.
"I'm fine. Can you walk by yourself?"
Liang Yanchuan tried to get up, but his legs were too weak to move.
"Give me...just two more minutes."
Ji Ying scoffed lightly: "Where are you going? I'll take you."
"Black Star Building".
She brought a blanket and covered him with it before closing the car door and turning to walk towards the driver's seat.
Just as Ji Ying's car turned out of the underground parking garage of Tianhe Yunjing, a black Maybach suddenly appeared from the side and braked sharply to block her car.
Chen Yuan quickly got out of the car and opened the back door, and Gu Yanchen stepped out with his long legs.
Ji Ying cursed, "You're a persistent ghost," glanced back at Liang Yanchuan in the back seat, and rolled down the car window by a crack.
The chill between Gu Yanchen's brows hadn't dissipated since morning.
He knocked on her window. "Lower everything down."
Ji Ying remained motionless, her fingers gripping the steering wheel tightly, and calmly asked, "Is there something you need?"
"I don't like talking through a window."
Ji Ying looked ahead and said, "Then you'll have to get used to it."
Gu Yanchen's jawline suddenly tightened, and his knuckles pressed heavily against the windowsill.
Who's in your car?
Ji Ying suppressed her panic, turned her head to meet his gaze, and curled her red lips into a provocative smile.
"He's the adulterer, huh? Want to get to know him?"
