Chapter 125 How can I untie the knot in your heart?
Both of them were startled and turned around at the same time.
Gu Yanchen looked at Ji Ying with a hint of suppressed anger, but he didn't say anything.
Wen Lingxue was locked up for a few days and then severely reprimanded by Chen Yuan, after which she became much more obedient.
She wisely removed her hand from Gu Yanchen's arm.
"Sister-in-law, I'm just my brother's secretary now, how can you call me that?"
Today, all those attending the signing ceremony are prominent entrepreneurs from Kunshi, and Wen Lingxue still has some pride.
Ji Ying smiled, "Don't call me that. I'm not lucky enough to be related to you. Today, apart from the guests on the invitation and their partners, everyone else has to be registered with the company. I remember... your name wasn't on the registration list."
Wen Lingxue opened her mouth.
This morning, when Chen Yuan suddenly said he had something to do and asked her to come over, she felt something was wrong.
It wasn't that Chen Yuan conspired with Ji Ying to scheme against her, but Ji Ying had suddenly become somewhat frightening, which made her extremely wary of this woman.
"Sister-in-law, my brother and I are completely innocent. Your paranoia is acting up again. You and your husband have a fight, you can't always make me..."
Just as she was about to squeeze out a few tears, a Qingsui employee in charge of reception ran over and shouted, interrupting her.
"Mrs. Gu, you've dropped something."
Wen Lingxue's voice stopped abruptly.
It was cocktail party time, and the guests, who were chatting amongst themselves, also turned their attention to this place.
The scene was extremely awkward.
"Do I know you? Why are you shouting at me like that?" Wen Lingxue replied awkwardly.
The female employee paused briefly, then smiled.
“When you registered just now, you said you were Mrs. Gu, and that’s why we let you in. I have a very good memory, I won’t mistake you.”
As she spoke, she handed over a bag charm.
"Did this fall off your bag?"
The design of the mother-daughter bag is undeniable.
Wen Lingxue's face turned pale, and she snatched the bag away, clutching it tightly in her hand.
She didn't know why Ji Ying insisted on calling her Mrs. Gu, but it definitely wasn't anything good. Just as she was about to find an excuse to leave, Guo Ying's voice came from afar.
"Shameless woman, seducing men everywhere, yet you dare to call yourself Mrs. Gu? Are you deliberately trying to bring shame to the Gu family?"
Guo Ying, dressed in a conservative dress that didn't suit her style, walked in aggressively with several of her friends.
Wen Lingxue was stunned for a moment, then immediately understood Ji Ying's arrangement; today's party was aimed at her.
She looked at Gu Yanchen; with just one word from him, Guo Ying wouldn't be able to cause any trouble.
Although Gu Yanchen had a gloomy face, he did not say a word.
"elder brother……"
Guo Ying squeezed between Gu Yanchen and her, interrupting her plea.
"All you do is cluck, are you a chicken? Your mother is dead, the Gu family kicked you out, and you still shamelessly cling to him, always pretending to be a pure and innocent white lotus. Do you really think all the men in the world fall for your act?"
After she finished speaking, she winked at the sisters who had come with her.
Her sisters understood and immediately surrounded Wen Lingxue.
"Stop making a fool of yourself here, come with us!"
Wen Lingxue knew in her heart that once she was taken out of Gu Yanchen's sight, the consequences would be unimaginable.
She didn't want to leave, but Gu Yanchen didn't show any attitude. She couldn't resist the pushing and shoving of these women and was forced to leave the party.
This time, Guo Ying didn't cling to Gu Yanchen. Instead, she nodded to Ji Ying like a queen representing justice, saying, "I can't tolerate any injustice. Leave this kind of person to me."
After saying that, she followed him out with a gait that made the Guo family proud.
Ji Ying smiled and raised her champagne glass to Gu Yanchen, "I'm sorry, Vice President Gu, you spoil her so much, I thought you two were a real couple."
After saying that, she turned and left.
The shrewd CEOs present all wore expressions of mockery.
In the distance, Xiao Xia withdrew her gaze and smiled faintly.
He turned to the president of the contracting party and said, "Our employees are too naive and always get fooled. I'm sorry."
The boss of the signing party was a woman in her thirties. She nodded understandingly and told Xiao Xia that she had other matters to attend to, but would leave the vice president and senior executives to continue the reception.
Liang Jian walked over with a smile and said meaningfully, "That woman walked right into your foolproof plan the moment she stepped into this venue. President Xiao is so adorable, I didn't realize it."
Xiao Xia smiled and replied, "If you can't even see that, then wouldn't you be even more impressed by the person who could so accurately scheme to bring her here? Mr. Liang, you've wasted your eyes."
Liang Jian wasn't angry. Instead, he sighed, "Indeed, you secretly planned to marry your 'daughter' off to someone else, yet you still accept my kindness with a clear conscience."
Xiao Xia scoffed, "President Liang doesn't reflect on his own abilities, but blames us Qing Sui for being trash. Is it that you can't accept defeat?"
Liang Jian didn't retort, but instead chuckled softly.
Ji Ying went to the restroom and had just dried her hands when she saw Gu Yanchen standing behind her.
What are you going to do?
She turned around and gripped the edge of the sink.
Gu Yanchen gave a cold laugh. "I thought you weren't afraid of anything."
Ji Ying raised her head. "You're wrong. I'm afraid of you because I don't have much confidence in your character. There's a huge difference in strength between men and women. If we were to fight, I wouldn't be a match for you."
Gu Yanchen nodded. "So you're afraid of pain."
Ji Ying gave a mocking smile, "Because you've never treated me like a human being, you don't know that being toyed with by you for four years hurts me, and you don't know that the wounds you inflicted on me caused me unbearable pain..."
At this point, Ji Ying's face was already frosty.
"I am a human being, and you are not, so we are not suitable to be together."
Gu Yanchen was stung by her words, and the smile on his face vanished.
"I've never teased you. When I married you, I meant I intended to spend my whole life with you. And my love for you is genuine."
Ji Ying felt like vomiting after hearing his words.
"If you stopped me because you're standing up for your stepsister, then just say what you want. Don't try to disgust me with these hypocritical words."
Gu Yanchen finally ran out of patience. He moved closer and trapped Ji Ying on the sink.
"Yingying, I swear to God I never touched Wen Lingxue. My relationship with Guo Ying was also for..."
A bitter expression crossed his face.
"...One day you will understand my good intentions."
However, Ji Ying said, "You've hurt me time and time again for Wen Lingxue, isn't that a fact? Every scar on my body was left by you. These injuries aren't yours, so how dare you think that I'll forgive you once I understand your good intentions?"
Gu Yanchen was speechless at her question, and a dense pain rose in his heart, each wave more piercing than the last.
It took him a while to recover, and he spoke with difficulty, "Then tell me, what do you want me to do to untie the knot in your heart?"
