Chapter 42 He simply didn't believe Ji Ying would cheat on him.
Protecting Gu Lingxue is their mission, so Ji Ying inevitably suffers some losses.
Just as Ji Ying's hands were restrained, Gu Lingxue ripped her bag apart.
The contents of the bag were scattered all over the floor, including the cell phone.
"Let me go!"
Ji Ying's hands were twisted behind her back, rendering her unable to move. She could only watch helplessly as Gu Lingxue, in her "panic," stepped on her phone.
The sharp heel stomped right through the phone...
When Gu Yanchen arrived, they had already been moved to the side of the street.
Ji Ying sat by the flower bed, holding a broken cell phone, lost in thought.
Gu Lingxue sat in the nanny van, her face pale and her whole body trembling.
The bodyguard reported to him that Gu Lingxue had been given the medicine, but did not mention Ji Ying at all.
Gu Yanchen's first thought was to check on Ji Ying, but as soon as he took a step toward her, Gu Lingxue suddenly slammed her head against the car window.
Without hesitation, he turned around, got into the car, and pinned her down.
Gu Lingxue shook her head repeatedly, "I'm sorry, brother, I didn't mean to upset sister-in-law. I shouldn't have been here and seen her with Dr. Zhang..."
Gu Yanchen is a shrewd person; if he says something insinuating, it won't be true.
Gu Lingxue stopped there, shut her mouth, and shook her head.
She also subtly implied to him through her actions that she had seen something she shouldn't have.
However, Gu Yanchen only glanced at Ji Ying with a deep look in his eyes before grabbing her shoulder and asking, "It's alright now. Calm down. Did you take your full dose of medication? Can you calm down on your own?"
"able……"
But she couldn't breathe, and her lips turned blue.
Gu Yanchen frowned and waved to his bodyguard.
The bodyguard stepped forward and bowed.
"Send your wife back home, and don't let her go out before I get back."
Upon hearing this, Gu Lingxue fell into Gu Yanchen's arms.
The car sped towards the hospital like an arrow.
Ji Ying watched them leave together with a cold eye. She wasn't particularly heartbroken, but she felt somewhat ridiculous.
He tried to create a rift between them using Gu Lingxue, but she destroyed the recording. It seems he's still a bit out of his depth when dealing with this kind of woman.
“Madam, please come back with us,” the bodyguard said.
"I need to go to a mobile phone repair shop."
Ji Ying still held onto a sliver of hope.
But the bodyguards were unmoved. "Madam, this is Mr. Gu's order. Please don't make things difficult for us."
Ji Ying narrowed her eyes. "What if I insist on fixing my phone before I reply?"
...
In the car, Gu Lingxue was panting in Gu Yanchen's arms, her body trembling uncontrollably.
“Brother, I was wrong. I saw my sister-in-law talking to Dr. Zhang, and they were standing very close together, so I wanted to go up and ask them what they were doing…”
“I didn’t mean to bother them, but my sister-in-law scolded me as soon as she saw me, saying that it’s fine for me to be with you all the time, but it’s not okay for her to go on dates with other people…”
Originally, she was trying to stir up trouble, but as Gu Lingxue spoke, she realized that Gu Yanchen had lost focus.
“Brother,” Gu Lingxue hugged him tightly, “Please beg my sister-in-law, please don’t misunderstand me, I’m scared.”
Gu Yanchen snapped out of his daze and naturally removed her hands from his embrace.
What are you afraid of?
Gu Lingxue's tears were still streaming down her face.
"The old lady already hates me. If someone tells her that my sister-in-law hates me, my mother and I will be doomed."
Her rivals back then knew exactly how ruthless the old lady was.
Gu Yanchen patted her back gently, "Don't worry, your sister-in-law knows what she's doing. She only makes a fuss with me at home and won't let Grandma know."
When they arrived at the hospital, Gu Lingxue's condition had improved considerably, but Gu Yanchen still admitted her to the hospital for observation overnight.
Gu Lingxue asked the doctor to arrange a corner ward for her in order to prevent Gu Gong and Wen Li from finding out about this.
Of course, she did this to let Gu Yanchen know that she was a sensible woman.
However, Gu Yanchen didn't react to her careful arrangements. He only comforted her for a few words before leaving in a hurry.
Gu Lingxue was surprised. Did he simply not believe that Ji Ying would cheat on him?
...
When Gu Yanchen returned to Platinum Bay, Aunt Yang was standing at the gate looking around.
Seeing him get out of the car, she rushed over.
“Mr. Gu, if you are worried that your argument with your wife will be embarrassing if word gets out, you can talk it out in a quiet place. Why bring her back by kidnapping? Misunderstandings can be resolved, but if a knot in your heart becomes a dead knot, it will be too late for you to make amends later.”
“I did not have anyone tie her up.”
Gu Yanchen walked into the living room and saw Ji Ying sitting on the sofa with her hands tied behind her back, surrounded by four bodyguards.
Gu Yanchen immediately became furious, "Who gave you permission to kidnap her?"
One of them stepped forward, bowed his head, and said, "Mr. Gu, your wife is not cooperating."
Gu Yanchen pushed him away and stepped forward to untie Ji Ying's ropes.
"She's my wife, she's on the same level as me. If I ever stop cooperating, you can tie me up too?"
The bodyguards realized they had made a big mistake and quickly apologized.
Ji Ying's arms ached, and she looked at the bodyguard who had twisted her hands behind her back for Gu Lingxue at the mall.
“You followed Gu Lingxue’s orders, became violent towards me, and threw my phone away. What did you get out of her?”
The bodyguard's face paled. "No, no, I misunderstood Mr. Gu. We thought Miss Gu was..."
He glanced at Gu Yanchen's expression and dared not continue.
"Why did you throw her phone away?" Gu Yanchen asked.
The bodyguard felt wronged. "My wife wouldn't cooperate and used getting her phone repaired as an excuse, but the phone was too broken to be repaired, so for the sake of efficiency, I... threw her phone away."
Gu Yanchen's sharp gaze softened as he looked at Ji Ying.
"Just throw it away, honey will buy you a better one."
Ji Ying gave up on that broken phone, and also completely gave up on this man.
"I don't need to get the best phone, but if it's a man... I'd be willing to find a better one."
Gu Yanchen's face turned cold.
“Yingying, Gu Lingxue is sick, so I’ve been taking extra care of her lately. But even if you’re jealous or angry, there are some things you shouldn’t say.”
Jealous?
Ji Ying sneered.
"When your father pushed me down, you were holding another woman's hand. Your bodyguards treat people differently, showing Gu Lingxue the respect due to your wife, while treating me like a criminal. Gu Yanchen, tell me, how low must I stoop to still be filled with love for you?"
Gu Yanchen grabbed her arm, a violent fire surging in his eyes, but he didn't lash out in front of the bodyguards.
He said sharply to her, "Don't spout nonsense out of thin air. Be mindful of your status!"
Ji Ying gritted her teeth, shook off his hand that was holding her, and rolled up her sleeve to reveal her bruised arm.
"In your eyes, facts are fabricated out of thin air, and illusions are the truth itself, right?"
