Chapter 53 Tonight we must have a blast!
"My God! Are those President Gu and her stepsister?"
A gasp erupted, and the entire audience erupted in uproar.
"Look at the necklace around her stepsister's neck, isn't that the one Mr. Gu is holding now?!"
"It's not just the necklace, look at the dress his stepsister is wearing tonight, the pattern is exactly the same as the lining of his suit, what else could it be but a matching couple's outfit?"
"To do this on their wedding anniversary, do these two have no shame? They're bullying Mrs. Gu too much."
The phone's camera shutter sound went off like crazy.
Gu Lingxue was completely petrified.
She never expected that Ji Ying would ruin her image in this way.
Does she not even care about the Gu family's reputation?
Snap!
The diamond necklace fell to the ground, making a crisp cracking sound.
Gu Chen was struck dumb, staring at the screen in shock, then abruptly looking at Ji Ying.
"Does Mr. Gu like this gift?"
Ji Ying's smile was deep.
His more than ten days of forbearance finally earned him a sharp blade, which was plunged into the most painful spot in his chest.
He should have tasted the bitterness of having his heart broken by now.
"Ji Ying!"
Gu Yanchen's lowered hand clenched into a fist.
"Sister-in-law, that's not how it is."
Gu Lingxue tried to make amends for herself.
“We were in Aalborg, attending an important party. I didn’t have any jewelry, so I hastily borrowed your necklace. If you feel uncomfortable, I apologize.”
Ji Ying smiled faintly, "So this is Aalborg. I remember the last time Gu Yanchen was rumored to be entering and leaving a villa late at night with a mysterious woman, it was also in Aalborg."
As she spoke, the main screen in the banquet hall played the scandalous photos that had been previously suppressed by public relations, which amplified the discussions throughout the hall.
Gu Yanchen gave Chen Yuan a wink, and Chen Yuan rushed backstage, only to find that no one was in front of the computer controlling the screen.
"Sister-in-law, there's really nothing between my brother and me. He's just used to being nice to me, so he neglected your feelings. If you want to blame someone, blame me, don't take it out on my brother."
No sooner had she finished speaking than Ji Ying slapped her across the face.
"Fine, you love your brother so much, you should take the slap he deserves instead."
Gu Lingxue never expected that she would hit her in public.
Her eyes were filled with tears, and she was about to look at Gu Yanchen when she received another slap on the other side of her face.
"This slap is for you. You interfered in my marriage, one slap is definitely not enough."
Ji Ying raised her hand again as she spoke.
Gu Yanchen grabbed her wrist, his voice chillingly cold.
Do you know what you're doing?
Ji Ying shook off his hand, "Mr. Gu, do you know what you're doing? You and her, this is incest!"
Gu Lingxue felt as if the sky had fallen and the earth had cracked.
It's true that she wanted to marry Gu Yanchen, but making their relationship public in this way was a devastating blow to her. She would become a stain on the Gu family, one that could never be erased.
"Ladies and gentlemen," Ji Ying looked at the guests present, "my husband and his parents have humiliated and insulted me because of this Miss Gu. They threaten me with cutting off my grandfather's life-saving medicine if I don't get their way. Would you be willing to marry your daughter into such a family?"
Some people in the audience shook their heads, while others pointed and whispered at Gu Lingxue.
"Gu Yanchen, let's get a divorce. It's over!"
After finishing her speech, she lifted her skirt and jogged away in full view of everyone.
Gu Yanchen's forehead veins bulged, but since this was a public place, he couldn't escalate the situation any further.
"elder brother……"
Gu Lingxue suddenly felt short of breath and had difficulty standing.
However, Gu Yanchen only gave her a cold look before ordering others, "Take her away."
The wedding anniversary dinner turned into a farce, leaving guests unsure whether to leave or stay.
Gu Yanchen stood there, his face expressionless, only his knuckles were white from clenching his fists.
Chen Yuan walked to his side and lowered his head.
Gu Yanchen's voice was deep and cold, "Keep the news under wraps. Everyone who attends the banquet must sign a confidentiality agreement before they can leave."
Chen Yuan agreed and quickly arranged for people to control the scene.
Stepping out of the banquet hall, Gu Yanchen slammed his fist on the wooden door, a storm brewing in his eyes.
Chen Yuan chased after him, "President Gu, the old mansion called and asked you to come back."
At that moment, Ji Ying had already left the hotel and gotten into a Ling Shi LX7 parked by the roadside.
This is her car.
"Fasten your seatbelts, we're off."
Xiao Xia stepped on the gas, and the car sped away from the hotel like an arrow.
"Wow! That was so satisfying, sis!"
Xiao Xia excitedly patted the steering wheel, almost screaming.
"Gu Yanchen's face was at its most handsome just now, wasn't it? Hahahaha!"
"And Gu Lingxue, her face is as white as a ghost."
"The Gu family has lost face to the extreme. This scumbag will definitely sign the divorce papers obediently this time. You're free, sister! We have to have a blast tonight. I'm going to find eighteen male models. I won't back down until my legs give way."
Ji Ying grabbed her hand as she was about to make a call, "Don't open the champagne halfway through."
Xiao Xia paused for a moment, then nodded as if she understood.
"Yes, yes, yes. If you sleep with a male model before you've signed the divorce agreement, it's called cheating. If you've signed the divorce agreement, sleeping with a male model is called knowing how to enjoy life."
Ji Ying: "..."
Xiao Xia prepared an apartment for her in a prime location; it was small but fully equipped.
"Who is the landlord?" Ji Ying asked.
"You can stay here without worry."
Xiao Xia avoided her gaze.
"Xiaxia, tonight I'll expose the Gu family's scandal. The divorce is final, but I'm afraid Gu Yanchen won't let it go easily. I can fight him alone without any worries, but if you're involved..."
Ji Ying always has a very insightful perspective.
Xiao Xia patted her shoulder, "It's okay, don't worry."
Ji Ying took off the replica wedding ring. "Second-hand jewelry doesn't fetch a good price online. Find me a buyer..."
She paused, then added, "I need to find someone with real power. I want to liquidate all the properties and jewelry that Wen Li transferred to me. Remember, this person can't be afraid of the Gu family's influence."
Xiao Xia patted his chest and said, "Leave it to me."
Ji Ying looked out the window, her expression not relaxed.
Having been a housewife for four years, with Gu Yanchen cutting off almost all her social interactions, it is no easy task for her to move forward step by step now.
At this moment, in the Gu family's old residence, in the ancestral hall.
The whip fell heavily.
Gu Yanchen didn't even blink.
Zhao Ping couldn't bear it and pleaded with the old lady, "Ten lashes have been given; the young master has already realized his mistake."
Old Mrs. Gu snorted coldly: "If he truly knew he was wrong, he wouldn't be unable to let go of that vixen, causing the Gu family to lose face."
“But the young mistress also bears responsibility for what happened tonight,” Zhao Ping said.
Old Madam Gu closed her eyes briefly, her tone heavy.
“When Ji Ying fell into Wen Li’s hands but didn’t ask me for help, I knew that this child was severing all ties with the Gu family. But isn’t the person who forced her to not trust her husband and not rely on her in-laws the very wretched child kneeling on the ground? What did she do wrong?”
Gu Yanchen, kneeling before the ancestral tablets, sneered upon hearing this: "So you want me to kneel and beg her to come back?"
"The whole city is talking about your incestuous scandal. Your reputation and the Gu family's reputation are ruined. Do you think she can come back?"
The grandfather and grandson were locked in a battle of wits, with neither able to gain the upper hand, because they knew each other too well.
Gu Yanchen's eyes suddenly turned sinister. "Then what does Grandma want me to do?"
A cold smile suddenly appeared on the old lady's lips.
"Either make her come back willingly and turn this scandal into a marital farce, or shut her up forever... Which do you choose?"
