Chapter 114 Make Your Brother a Widow Within Three Days
"This bottle has a fruity flavor, which is perfect for ladies."
The manager walked up to Ji Ying as he spoke.
"Mrs. Gu, please accept this."
The manager's voice trailed off, causing an uproar throughout the room.
The woman in the skirt said in disbelief, "You must be mistaken. Isn't Mrs. Gu here?"
She pointed at Guo Ying.
The manager handed the red wine to Ji Ying, looking at her with disdain. "Where did you come from, you bumpkin? I deal with high-ranking officials and dignitaries every day, how could I be wrong?"
"Mrs. Gu is this one, and Xiaoying is..." Guo Guqing's old friend suddenly felt his brain couldn't keep up.
Ji Ying smiled faintly, "Mistress, do you understand? If not, then the other woman understands, right?"
Suddenly, apart from the piece of trash Guo Ying had found, everyone's gaze towards Guo Ying changed.
The man who chimed in persisted, "What makes you think you're Mrs. Gu?"
Ji Ying sneered and looked at Gu Yanchen, "Then tell them who I am?"
Gu Yanchen's face was extremely dark. "Enough. This farce ends here."
Just as he was about to leave, Ji Ying slammed the medicine box down at his feet with a loud bang.
"You're the one with all the colorful flags waving, so why should you just end it like that!"
Everyone present was startled.
This time, no one needs to prove it.
Who else but Mrs. Gu would dare to smash things in front of Gu Yanchen?
Gu Yan suppressed his anger and gave her a warning look.
However, Ji Ying said, "Gu Yanchen, I don't want you or this filthy marriage anymore. Hurry up and go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get a divorce certificate. Stop shamelessly delaying!"
Then she looked at Guo Ying and saw her bring out a few pieces of trash.
"The scumbag who bullied poor students in the cafeteria back then, now he dares to call himself an elite just by wearing a tech company uniform? Upper class, huh? Did you drink your boss's foot bath champagne?"
The mouths of the several people seemed to be sealed with cement, unable to open them at all.
Guo Guqing and his daughter have fallen from grace and are now in a daze.
After scolding them, Ji Ying turned around and, before Guo Ying could react, strode forward and slapped her across the face.
Guo Ying lost her balance and stumbled into her father's arms.
"What gives you the right to hit someone?" Guo Guqing tried to sound confident.
“I’m still the legal wife, can’t I hit her? Your daughter and Wen Lingxue are studying in Aalborg for mistress training, aren’t they? Miss Guo is obsessed with being a mistress. Your Guo family’s ‘good family tradition’ is indeed passed down from generation to generation.”
Guo Guqing's lips trembled, and he couldn't speak.
A kind-hearted person nearby whispered, "Just say a few words and that's it, don't..."
Ji Ying turned to look at the other person, "Since you're so kind, I wish that all the teachers you meet in the future will be named Guo Guqing, all the mistresses you encounter will be named Guo Ying, and every man you marry will be named Gu, Yan, or Chen!"
other side,"……"
The three parties involved, "…………"
Ji Ying's outburst caused the Guo family father and daughter to lose face completely.
Back in the private room, Guo Ying grabbed a wine glass and smashed it against the wall, wishing she could strangle that woman.
Wen Lingxue, wanting to exploit her anger further, quickly stepped forward to persuade her, "Don't fall for my trap, we..."
Snap!
Guo Ying interrupted her with a slap.
"You liar! Didn't you say you knew everything about your brother and that I was sure I could get him? I've lost all face because of you! If you don't do something to make me happy, I'll tell your brother what you've been up to in Aalborg!"
Wen Lingxue was startled. "Guo Ying, I sincerely hope that you will become my sister-in-law."
A glint of shrewdness flashed in Guo Ying's eyes, and she reached out and grabbed her neck.
"Wen Lingxue, if you dare to come to me, you'd better have the guts to clear the obstacles for me. Make your brother a widower within three days, or you'll face the consequences!"
Wen Lingxue stood frozen in place.
To his utter surprise, the wolf he brought back failed to kill Ji Ying; instead, it bit him first.
...
Ji Ying not only refused to change Gu Yanchen's dressing today, but she also refused to do so tomorrow and the day after.
She is very busy.
Grandpa Lin was going to sweep Lin Yan's grave and wanted to stay in his hometown for two days, but the old house had already been demolished. So she had to rent a farmhouse nearby and personally supervise the cleaning inside and out.
It was quite late when I got back to Tianhe Yunjing.
Lin Meizhen was still awake. She had sprained her ankle and couldn't go. She was folding clothes for the old man.
Upon seeing Ji Ying enter, he paused in his actions.
"Go to the countryside to keep the old man company these few days and pay close attention to his mental state."
Ji Ying sat down opposite her. "What's wrong with Grandpa?"
Lin Meizhen said, "He's been preoccupied for many days, but he won't tell me when I ask him. Today, while he was sunbathing downstairs, a woman came up and said a few words to him, and he's been even more sullen since then."
"Do you know who the other person is?" Ji Ying asked.
Lin Meizhen glanced at her foot. "I didn't see clearly when I chased after them, and I ended up twisting my ankle."
Ji Ying frowned.
...
Early in the morning, Ji Ying returned with fruit. The old man was also up and drinking morning tea.
"Grandpa, what kind of paper money and candles should we buy?"
The old man waved his hand, "No need, perhaps... he won't receive it."
Ji Ying was taken aback, but seeing the old man's calm expression, she swallowed her question back.
Then they set off for the Lin family cemetery.
Looking at Lin Yan's tombstone, the old man touched Lin Yan's photo again and again with his withered hands. At one moment he told Ji Ying that a cenotaph could not bring back Lin Yan's soul and that he wanted to demolish it. At another moment he said that he was getting senile and could not understand the situation, which made Ji Ying worry about his mental state.
At noon, the old man personally cooked sweet potato rice and also roasted a plate of peppers.
Ji Ying's thoughts instantly returned to the time when she first arrived at the Lin family.
When the Lin family first adopted her, their living conditions were so poor that each person had a limited amount of rice to eat every day.
With her added to the food supply, Grandpa would go to fields where people had already harvested vegetables and pick up the sweet potatoes and potatoes that they didn't want. He would then mix them into the rice when cooking, so that everyone could have enough to eat.
Ji Ying doesn't know if she had a happy home before she was 13, but during the more than six months of wandering she could remember, she slept near a garbage can every day, and could only run to the street to take shelter from the rain when it thundered and rained.
But under the eaves of those shops, there were always people who thought she was dirty and chased her away like a stray dog. So she could only hug herself, shivering, and keep walking in the rain until the rain stopped or she found a place where she could take shelter from the rain.
As for colds and fevers, there was no medicine available, and she had to get through them on her own time and time again.
Later, Lin Yan took her home, and the Lin family gave her the warmth she desperately craved.
Therefore, to this day, her bond with the Lin family is deeply ingrained and difficult to sever.
"It still tastes the same, Grandpa's cooking is really delicious." Ji Ying took a bite of chili and smiled.
"If you like it, eat more. Grandpa is getting old and doesn't know how many more times he can cook for you."
"us?"
Seeing Ji Ying's surprise, Grandpa laughed, "Look at my brain, I always feel like Ayan is still here."
A pang of sorrow rose in Ji Ying's heart.
She desperately wanted to tell the old man that Lin Yan was still alive, but that might put Liang Yanchuan in danger, something the old man wouldn't want to see.
She held back what she wanted to say.
"Girl, after you finish eating, go to Uncle Chang Jiu's fishpond and buy two fish. Ayan likes the fish from his place that doesn't taste muddy. I'll cook it for him again."
Ji Ying's throat tightened, and she could only manage a single, "Okay."
In the afternoon, the old man told Ji Ying how to get to Uncle Chang Jiu's fishpond, and then sat on the stone steps at the entrance of the farmhouse and watched her leave.
A few people arrived shortly afterward.
One of the men, who had three scars on the back of his hand, placed his hand on the old man's shoulder, stared into his eyes, and asked, "Old man, where is Ji Ying?"
The old man stared at him with his hazy eyes, and after a few seconds of reaction, he pointed towards the village entrance and said in a frail and aged manner, "He just left. He went home to get my medicine."
“Brother,” the tattooed man complained, “that woman’s information to us wasn’t timely enough. I told you we couldn’t trust her, and you kept it from Yi-ge…”
"Shut up, hurry up and chase after them."
The man squeezed the old man's shoulder hard, then left with his men.
He took two steps and then stopped. He slowly turned around, his sinister gaze falling on the old man's hunched back.
The next second, he suddenly turned back and kicked the old man...
