Chapter 32 "May I ask what your dog son is...?"
"Why is my sister-in-law so drunk? I'll go make some hangover soup."
Her face was full of worry, but Gu Yanchen didn't even give her a glance, nor did he respond to her words.
Helpless, Gu Lingxue followed them to the master bedroom.
However, she was sensible and simply stood at the door of the master bedroom.
Gu Yanchen put Ji Ying on the bed and was about to close the door to help her undress when he realized that Gu Lingxue had not left yet.
He walked to the door, and Gu Lingxue bit her lip.
“Brother, my sister-in-law’s mood is getting worse and worse. It’s okay if she hates me, but I don’t want her to continue to misunderstand you. Please let me move out, preferably somewhere close to the hospital, so it will be easier for me to take care of Mom.”
What was meant as a flattering remark unexpectedly resulted in Gu Yanchen nodding in agreement.
“Indeed, living with us is not good for your illness, and it might also frighten her.”
Gu Lingxue's pupils suddenly contracted, as if she had been slapped in the face.
"Actually, I've already started looking for a new place for you to stay and arranged for a psychologist for you. Lingxue, take good care of yourself and get well soon."
After Gu Yanchen finished speaking, he closed the door.
Gu Lingxue felt a tightness in her chest.
She reviewed her actions from the previous evening.
She was clearly in a vulnerable position, and her brother had been gritting his teeth with hatred for Ji Ying in the middle of the night. So why did his attitude change as soon as she was brought back?
What she didn't know was that when Gu Yanchen saw that Ji Ying was at the beach where the accident happened, his anger completely dissipated.
Gu Yanchen closed the door, turned around, and saw Ji Ying get up by herself and stagger towards the bathroom.
She has obsessive-compulsive disorder about cleanliness; she must shower and change clothes before going to bed after returning from outside.
Gu Yanchen tried to help her up, but she shook off his hand.
"You've made me smelly and filthy, and you're still not satisfied with that? You have to disgust me too?"
Gu Yanchen's eyes turned cold.
It calmed down again after a few seconds.
"Don't be jealous. I was trying to save someone, I didn't think that much about it."
Ji Ying scoffed, "You instinctively hugged him; you must have practiced a lot."
Gu Yanchen pursed his lips into a straight line, "You've had too much to drink. I won't pursue what happened yesterday. We'll talk again when you've sobered up."
Ji Ying was emboldened. "I only had a couple of sips, and I'm perfectly sober now. I wish I could soak every place you touched in disinfectant. Really, your hand, the way you put your arm around her chest..."
Ji Yingqing couldn't help but gag.
Bang!
Gu Yanchen kicked over the stool in front of the dressing table and left the bedroom.
Ji Ying took a nap and woke up at three in the afternoon.
She scratched her head, exclaiming that drinking had caused her trouble.
I was supposed to pick up my car and take my grandfather home from the hospital today, but Gu Lingxue's outburst delayed both of them.
She quickly called Lin Meizhen.
Lin Meizhen was busy on her end.
"Yingying, don't worry, your grandfather has arrived home safely. He's in good spirits. I just settled him in, and he's very happy with his new home. Come visit him when you have time."
"Okay, give me the address, I'll go there in a bit."
She was worried about her grandfather moving to a new house, so she had to go and check on him.
What surprised her was that Lin Meizhen's attitude suddenly became... much more enthusiastic.
Before Ji Ying could think it through, she ran into Gu Lingxue as she went downstairs.
She sat on the sofa looking unwell, but when she saw Ji Ying, she quickly stood up.
"Sister-in-law, I scared you last night. I'm sorry, it's all my fault, I couldn't control my emotions... I know you're angry with me because of Old Master Sun, I..."
Ji Ying had no patience to watch her act. Pointing at the monitor, she said, "Watch my lip movements carefully, so that I don't get wronged by malicious editing."
After speaking, she straightened her face and addressed the camera, but the meaning behind her words was clearly directed at Gu Lingxue.
"Don't put on this act with me. You've used the frame-up trick so many times. Use your brain and think of some other tricks."
After saying that, she left Platinum Bay without looking back.
Gu Lingxue's thoughts were exposed and nipped in the bud, but the cold light in her eyes was like a poisoned needle.
This game is far from over; let's see how many more times you can recklessly use your brother's love.
Ji Ying, of course, couldn't hear the voice in her heart.
Just after picking up the car, Ji Ying received the address from Lin Meizhen.
Looking at "Tianhe Yunjing," a senior, she gripped the phone, her fingers tightening even more.
Lin Meizhen probably guessed what she was like at that moment, and with a beep, she sent another photo.
It's a photo of my grandfather sitting in a rocking chair, resting with his eyes closed.
"Your grandfather really likes the environment of Xixinju. He's suffered his whole life, let him enjoy his retirement."
Ji Ying wanted to get angry, but found that her anger had no basis.
Less than two minutes later, Lin Meizhen called again.
She asked cautiously, "Yingying, have you seen the photos?"
"Is there anything else?" Ji Ying asked.
"Here's the thing, I've already signed the settlement agreement for your grandfather, and that's your copy... Village Chief Wu said he'll be waiting for you at 'Tingyuxuan'."
Ji Ying closed her eyes.
"Aunt Lin," she said calmly, "are you at ease living in the house that my grandfather was almost beaten to death in exchange for my being sexually assaulted?"
Lin Meizhen: "..."
When Ji Ying arrived at the teahouse, the other party had already been waiting in the private room for a long time.
“Mrs. Gu, I really didn’t know that Mr. Gu’s father-in-law lived in our village. If I had known earlier, I would never have let my son cause such a misunderstanding and frighten you and Mr. Lin. I’m so sorry.”
The village chief was very enthusiastic, but Ji Ying was very indifferent.
"Excuse me, what kind of dog is your son...?"
The village chief's expression changed.
“Wu Jialong, there was a misunderstanding with you all that night. The old man was very forgiving and forgave the boy, but it's about you here…”
The village chief handed over the reconciliation agreement he had prepared.
The settlement agreement stated that Ji Ying dressed provocatively and spoke flirtatiously, which led to her being mistakenly believed to be involved in an improper profession. People then physically assaulted her to teach her a lesson, which was all a misunderstanding.
Ji Ying controlled her emotions and calmly asked, "Where is my grandfather's settlement agreement? Let me see it."
The village chief laughed and said, "The old man has just been discharged from the hospital and is not in good spirits. Ms. Lin is his guardian. Anyway, he has already signed it, so you can take your copy."
Even without reading it, you can imagine that the content is equally infuriating.
With these two settlement agreements, Wu Jialong will no longer be subject to criminal prosecution.
After reading the settlement agreement that was to be signed, Ji Ying tore it up immediately.
"If you can't educate your own son, then let the state educate him for you. It's better for your son to go to jail than to be shot."
The village chief's face fell.
“Mrs. Gu,” the middle-aged man who had been sitting silently to the side spoke up, “You just married a rich husband. If a woman is often unreasonable, a man will get tired of her over time.”
Ji Ying looked at him, and the village chief quickly introduced, "This is Jialong's second uncle."
Got it, he's the one Huang Mao was talking about who could make those thugs run rampant.
Ji Ying raised an eyebrow. "So, what does Director Wu want to tell me?"
Wu Desheng sipped his tea, revealing a mouthful of teeth showing through his cigarette smoke.
"Mrs. Gu is quite attractive, but she's too stubborn. I bet Mr. Gu's interest in you won't last long. For a rich man to marry a commoner is just a temporary arrangement. If Mrs. Gu were smart, she should take advantage of this time to build up her network, like getting to know me."
Ji Ying stroked the now-cold teacup in front of her. "I don't understand what Director Wu means."
Wu Desheng chuckled twice. "The day President Gu throws you away like a used shoe, I'll introduce you to a few widowed colleagues because you've served people quite well. I'll guarantee you a job as an official's wife, wouldn't that be great?"
