Chapter 140 Liang Yizhi's Question Has Received an Answer
Xue Qin paused for a moment before replying, "We've asked everyone in the village, and their accounts are consistent: they all say she was found outside when she was 12. The identification center is still trying to extract DNA from the ashes, but there are no clear results yet."
Liang Yizhi's eyes were deep and unfathomable, and he did not respond.
Xue Qin cautiously probed, "Boss, the doctor called again today, saying that if your hormones continue to be disordered, it will affect your health. If you really don't want to get involved in relationships, I can arrange for a completely clean and safe young girl, and no one will know. You can't keep toughing out your health like this, can you?"
Liang Yizhi looked out the window, his profile tense, and said, his emotions unreadable, "You've certainly thought things through."
Xue Qin couldn't understand the meaning behind those words, so he just took it as a compliment and said, "Then I'll go and make the arrangements."
...
The next day, Ji Ying regained her strength in her legs.
She found out that Huang Haoran had made plans to go to a bar with his old classmates, so she went there after get off work as well.
The other party sent her the room number E606, but when she got to the door, Ji Ying looked at the fallen sign and was a little confused.
Is this 606 or 909?
She gently pushed open the door and peeked in, revealing half her face.
The private room was dimly lit, and three men in suits were sitting scattered among the velvet sofas.
Liang Yizhi sat alone in the center, holding a glass of wine in his hand. His cold and aloof face appeared particularly distant amidst the glitz and clamor.
The bar manager was bowing down to recommend the girl next to him.
"This girl underwent two months of training. It's her first day on the job, and she's absolutely clean and sensible. She'll definitely give you a great time tonight..."
So that's what kind of person he is.
Ji Ying paused for a moment, just in time to meet Liang Yizhi's gaze as he looked up.
The man's brows furrowed noticeably.
Xue Qin noticed that something was wrong with the boss's expression. Following his gaze, his heart skipped a beat. He quickly interrupted the manager, "Take the person out first, and settle the expenses as usual."
The manager was taken aback, and when he turned around, he saw Ji Ying standing at the door.
Ji Ying snapped out of her daze, quickly said, "Sorry, we came to the wrong place," and closed the door for them.
Xue Qin felt like the sky had fallen and wanted to chase after his boss to explain.
Meng Qian put down his wine glass and stood up first. "I have something to do, I'll be going out for a bit."
Without waiting for their response, he strode out the door.
Liang Yizhi glanced at Xue Qin very indifferently.
Xue Qin awkwardly said, "Boss, I can go after them too..."
Liang Yizhi put down his wine glass and said slowly, "Secretary Xue has been making a lot of decisions on his own lately."
Xue Qin's back instantly broke out in a thin layer of sweat, and he quickly bowed his head and replied, "I'm sorry, boss, I overstepped my bounds. I will explain it to Miss Ji."
Liang Yizhi's gaze darkened slightly. "No need."
Xue Qin, “?”
Liang Yizhi said, "I'm not a gentleman. The reason I haven't touched women all these years isn't because I don't want to, but because I hate being controlled by desire like an animal. The data in the medical report isn't that important. Just listen to what the doctor said, and don't bring it up again."
...
Meanwhile, Meng Qian caught up with Ji Ying.
"Miss Ji, may I speak to you in private?"
Ji Ying glanced anxiously at another 606 VIP room not far away, hesitated for a moment, and then followed him to a quiet corridor.
“I’ve thought about this for a long time. Your response to hypnosis was very strong, which may be related to PTSD with dissociative characteristics. I suggest we do trauma therapy first, and try hypnosis after your condition stabilizes. The effect will be better.”
After listening attentively to his words, Ji Ying smiled and said, "Thank you for your concern, Dr. Meng, but..."
She paused for a moment, as if reaffirming her resolve.
“I used to crave my parents’ love, but I’ve managed to get through these years on my own. Now I no longer expect anything, and I will live a good life on my own.”
Meng Qian gazed at her, his eyes revealing a hint of respect.
He didn't press the issue, and said gently, "I understand your choice. Your strength is more powerful than any treatment."
As he spoke, he took out his phone. "Let's add each other as friends. If you ever change your mind, or just want to chat, I'm always here for you."
Ji Ying didn't think much of it, and the two added each other as friends.
Meng Qian was about to leave when Ji Ying called out to him, "Did I disturb your search for the young lady?"
Meng Qian paused for a moment, then laughed and said, "Someone wants to try it, but he's too burdened by his feelings. A friend asked me to come and give him some advice."
Upon hearing this, Ji Ying understood and replied half-jokingly, "Then Dr. Meng must persuade people to do good."
Meng Qian nodded. "Don't worry."
The two parted ways in the corridor.
When Meng Qian returned to the private room, Xue Qin was nowhere to be found; only Liang Yizhi remained in his original seat.
"Didn't you like that pretty girl just now?" he asked.
Liang Yizhi looked at him, his eyes darkening slightly. "You two have a good relationship?"
Meng Qian understood that he was asking about Ji Ying, so he kept her in suspense and said with a smile, "It's a personal matter, so I can't reveal it."
Liang Yizhi smiled slightly and patted him lightly on the shoulder. "Let's drink. We won't leave until we're drunk tonight."
...
As Ji Ying turned around in the corridor, she ran into Huang Haoran and... Wen Lingxue!
The two walked side by side, looking very familiar with each other.
Ji Ying was shocked; Huang Haoran had actually hooked up with Wen Lingxue.
With no way to avoid it, her mind raced, trying to figure out how to respond.
Her ankle injury hadn't healed yet, and after taking two steps, she stumbled and had to lean against the wall for support.
When Wen Lingxue saw her, she subconsciously distanced herself from Huang Haoran.
Huang Haoran didn't have time to greet Ji Ying before he saw her about to fall and rushed over to support her.
Are you alright?
Ji Ying steadied herself and brushed his hand away. "So it's Senior Brother Huang. I'm here to hang out with my friends and I still run into you. What bad luck!"
Huang Haoran's expression changed. Seeing that Wen Lingxue had already walked away, he guessed that Ji Ying probably hadn't noticed anything, so he said, "Junior Sister, I've already put aside my own family for the greater good, why are you still so hostile towards me?"
Ji Ying countered, "Then what attitude do you want me to have towards you?"
Huang Haoran pushed open the door to an empty private room next to him and pulled her inside.
“I know you hate Gu Yanchen, I can help you get revenge on him.”
Ji Ying scoffed lightly, clearly not believing it. "You're willing to destroy the big tree you finally managed to cling to?"
Huang Haoran straightened his slightly wrinkled suit jacket. "Gu Yanchen is just a stepping stone in my career plan. You provide the technology, and I'll take care of bringing him down. It's a fair cooperation, and you have no reason to refuse."
Ji Ying pondered for a moment and said, "He's a stepping stone, so what's your goal?"
Huang Haoran lost his patience. "Ji Ying, you need to understand one thing: I'm not a fool who can be manipulated. I need your data and technology, but only to achieve my goals faster. Even if I temporarily cooperate with others, I will not forget my ultimate purpose."
Ji Ying's smile was faint, but her eyes were deep.
"Alright, once I see your sincerity, I will make my own decision."
After saying that, she left the private room.
Wen Lingxue walked out of the bar alone and suddenly saw Liang Yizhi's secretary rushing in...
So Leung Yik-chi is also in this bar?
I remembered seeing Ji Ying in the corridor earlier.
Wen Lingxue's eyes darkened slightly.
There's definitely something fishy about these two!
Xue Qin didn't notice her. He pushed open the door to the private room and saw that Meng Qian was already drunk.
"Boss, this hangover cure..."
Having already gotten the answer, Liang Yizhi sat on the sofa, oblivious to his emotions, and said, "Feed him, then take him home."
...
The next day was the 13th day of the seventh lunar month, and according to local custom, people should visit the graves of their relatives.
Wen Lingxue went to Songshan Cemetery.
She wasn't going to burn paper money for Wen Li; she was going to find someone.
Finally, she saw Lin Meizhen's figure in front of a row of tombstones. She suppressed the joy in her eyes and walked over.
"Auntie, do you still recognize me?"
Lin Meizhen was stunned for a moment, "You are..."
Wen Lingxue smiled and said, "I'm a relative of the Gu family."
Lin Meizhen suddenly realized and said apologetically, "I am just Yingying's adoptive mother. I don't have much contact with the Gu family, and many people don't recognize me."
Wen Lingxue sighed, "Actually, my cousin's condition is getting worse every day. If my cousin's wife could find someone better to rely on..."
She deliberately coughed lightly.
"For example, that Liang family member in Beijing, I would support her leaving. A woman should always think about herself, don't you think?"
