Chapter 60 I never knew Ji Ying's mouth could be so venomous.
She wanted to pierce Ji Ying's heart with thorns.
However, Ji Ying covered her nose in disgust.
"Can you smell something on you?"
Wen Lingxue didn't understand what she meant. "I've already taken a shower."
Ji Ying smiled faintly: "It smells rotten and foul. Your mother is very familiar with this smell."
Wen Lingxue got angry, "My mother is your elder, don't you have any manners!"
Ji Ying remained calm as ever. "I'm about to divorce Gu Yanchen, who does she think she is? You messed up your belt and produced a child, who gives you the nerve to talk to me here?"
Wen Lingxue had no idea that Ji Ying could be so sharp-tongued.
“My brother and I have been together for ten years. I’m his woman long ago. You’re the mistress, so you should keep these nasty words to yourself.”
"You haven't learned the meaning of 'legitimate' in ten years. It seems your mother only knows how to teach you crooked ways."
As Ji Ying spoke, she picked up the stool in front of the dressing mirror and threw it at her.
Wen Lingxue dodged, and the stool smashed the window.
The noise startled Gu Yanchen.
When he walked in, he saw Ji Ying pin Wen Lingxue to the table and slap her twice.
"elder brother……"
Wen Lingxue burst into tears upon seeing him.
Gu Yanchen looked at Ji Ying expressionlessly, "You regained your strength after just one meal?"
Ji Ying released Wen Lingxue and looked at her hand with great disdain.
"You insisted on sending her here to provoke me, isn't this exactly what you wanted?"
Gu Yanchen gave Wen Lingxue a look, signaling her to leave.
Wen Lingxue wiped away her tears and walked outside.
"Stop!" Ji Ying said.
"What else do you want to do?" Wen Lingxue sobbed.
Ji Ying smiled faintly, "I'd rather use my unwanted clothes as diapers for a dog than have someone like you touch them. Take them off!"
Wen Lingxue's eyes filled with tears again.
It wasn't acting; I was genuinely moved to tears by her words.
"I'll go change it right away."
"I want you to take it off right now!"
Wen Lingxue discovered that Ji Ying, who had broken ties with Gu Yanchen, seemed like a completely different person.
She looked at Gu Yanchen as if pleading for help.
The man's cold gaze lingered on Ji Ying's face for a few seconds before softening.
"Lingxue, get out."
See, he still can't bear to see his beloved humiliated.
Ji Ying wore a faint sneer on her face.
As if she had received a royal decree, Wen Lingxue fled the room.
Gu Yanchen walked up to her and tried to take her hand to examine it, but Ji Ying ruthlessly shook him off.
"Don't touch me with your filthy hands!"
Gu Yanchen was relatively patient with her.
He lowered his hand to stop him from touching it.
“If you don’t like her, I’ll send her away right now and never care about her again. You sign this ‘statement,’ and we’ll live happily together for three years. If you still want a divorce after three years, I will never bother you.”
Ji Ying curled her lips in a mocking smile, "Are you still in your daydream? Or do you think I'm stupid enough to let you fool me twice?"
Gu Yanchen's gaze darkened, and he slammed the door shut as he left.
Ji Ying glanced at the messy stack of A4 papers on the table and, sure enough, one page was missing.
Wen Lingxue is quite cunning; even after being beaten, she still thinks of ways to scheme against her.
Gu Yanchen returned to his study, where Wen Lingxue was waiting for him.
"Brother, I found this in my sister-in-law's room."
This is an A4 sheet of paper with a rough map of the mountain resort drawn on it, along with a few markings.
“Brother, my sister-in-law deliberately started an argument with me and broke the window. She wanted to escape through this window when no one was around in the middle of the night.”
Gu Yanchen did not respond to her words.
At this moment, Chen Yuan walked in.
"Mr. Gu, the situation is not good."
Gu Yanchen looked at him.
Chen Yuan approached and said, "This morning, a blogger posted a video questioning 'Where Did Mrs. Gu Go?' and it went viral in less than an hour. Luckily, I found out quickly, but..."
"But what?" Gu Yanchen's gaze was deep.
“But even if it’s withdrawn, it’s still there. I’ve already assigned someone to handle it continuously. Before, when your wife caused a scene at our wedding anniversary dinner, although there were some rumors, the video didn’t leak out, so the situation wasn’t out of control. But now the internet is openly focusing on your relationship with your wife, and it’s hard to explain to the board of directors and clients.”
It is well known that a married man's dignity often begins with the stability of his family.
Even for a business tycoon, if a scandal involving favoring a concubine over one's wife is exposed, it will not only damage his own reputation, but also the confidence of shareholders and the goodwill he has built up.
What's more, Gu Yanchen also has an incestuous side to him.
"Was it done by my sister-in-law's good friend? On our wedding anniversary night, the hotel surveillance footage showed my sister-in-law's friend coming and going. It must have been her who helped my sister-in-law put our photos up there."
Using her questioning as an excuse, Wen Lingxue filed another complaint against Xiao Xia.
To everyone's surprise, Gu Yanchen didn't even raise his eyebrows, "She doesn't have that ability."
Wen Lingxue was silenced by his words.
"Go and find out who's behind this," Gu Yanchen said to Chen Yuan.
Chen Yuan nodded. "The old lady couldn't get through to you, so she called me. She wants you to come back to see her."
Gu Yanchen remained expressionless. "Just say you've never seen me before."
Ji Ying has been locked up here for four or five days, and Gu Yanchen has not left either. The old lady's eyes in the company have probably already reported this to her.
"What do you plan to do, brother, if your sister-in-law wants to escape tonight?" Gu Lingxue asked.
Gu Yanchen smiled and instructed Chen Yuan, "Find someone to fix the windows immediately, and increase patrols tonight."
Chen Yuan nodded and went to take care of his business.
"Take off your clothes, wash them clean, and return them to her."
"yes."
Wen Lingxue's eyes were a little red as she walked to the door of the study.
Gu Yanchen suddenly said, "Although you've been wronged, I still think you have some value."
Wen Lingxue understood that he wouldn't see her off.
But that's not enough. Only by making Gu Yanchen hate Ji Ying will she have a chance to be with him.
She lowered her eyes, "As long as my brother is satisfied, that's all that matters."
...
In the afternoon, Wen Lingxue brought the washed and dried clothes back to Ji Ying.
Ji Ying disdainfully refused to touch it and said a few harsh words to tell her to get lost.
Wen Lingxue waited until night to see her carefully planned escape scheme completely collapse in a pathetic state, so she didn't lash out or argue with her.
You should know that those bodyguards don't hold back when they start fighting, and Ji Ying might end up with a broken arm or leg.
She had just stepped out of the bedroom when the window repairman arrived.
These people were also arranged by her; she would deliberately leave a window for Ji Ying to move around in, "helping" her escape at night.
Wen Lingxue smiled and left.
Around 4 PM, the repairman left the resort after fixing the window.
No one noticed that a person had quietly appeared behind them.
Ji Ying wore the clothes Wen Lingxue had worn that morning, deliberately imitating her makeup, and walked behind several workers with her head down.
Actually, letting Wen Lingxue discover the paper was just a smokescreen to keep them focused on the night and distract them from what was happening in the present.
Ji Ying wouldn't wait until dark to leave.
The guard at the main entrance remembered her outfit: Wen Lingxue had indeed worn this dress that morning.
So they only glanced at him briefly before letting the "familiar" figure leave through the door.
Ji Ying wanted to leave in the worker's car, but the worker refused because there was no room in the car and he was concerned about traffic rules.
She had no choice but to take off running and desperately run along the road towards the ravine.
Soon, the drawbacks of not eating for several days became apparent.
Soon after, I felt palpitations, shortness of breath, and broke out in a cold sweat.
Even worse, the sound of a car engine came from behind.
They found it!
Ji Ying watched the road disappear around the corner and felt deflated. She stopped, and several cars quickly surrounded her.
Gu Yanchen and Wen Lingxue stepped out of the back seat together.
Wen Lingxue sarcastically said, "The way my sister-in-law is running away now, wearing the clothes I've worn, is much more real than when she was pretending to be aloof this morning."
