Chapter 65 You flirt with men everywhere, so this is all you deserve to wear?
Ji Ying reflexively jumped up from her chair.
Gu Yanshen's icy gaze softened slightly after confirming that she was properly dressed.
But when the gaze returned to Liang Yanchuan, the loose bath towel, the bare upper body, and every casual gesture seemed to be a provocation to him.
Gu Yan's jawline gradually tightened again.
"What is Vice President Liang's purpose in meeting with my wife here?"
As he spoke, he walked in from outside the door.
Liang Yanchuan had dealt with him before, so he wasn't flustered at all.
"This is a hot spring hotel. Is there a problem if we can discuss business while enjoying the hot springs?"
Gu Yanchen snorted lightly, "Strange, I had no idea that my wife had business dealings with you."
He walked toward the table where the documents were placed.
Ji Ying immediately stepped in front of them.
"Who I meet and what I do is none of Mr. Gu's business. Get out!"
Gu Yanchen's eyes were smiling, but his gaze was filled with frost. He grabbed her elbow and pulled her close.
“We’re not divorced yet. Legally, you’re still my Mrs. Gu. And I hate it when my things are stained with someone else’s fingerprints.”
"Don't worry, Mr. Gu, even if I weren't Mrs. Gu, I would still maintain my integrity, after all..."
Ji Ying deliberately dragged out the last syllable.
"...Not everyone has the ability to package a scandal of cheating on their stepsister as 'family care'."
Liang Yanchuan laughed at her words.
Gu Yanchen, his face grim, shoved Ji Ying away.
"careful!"
Liang Yanchuan strode forward and caught Ji Ying, who almost fell to the ground.
Gu Yanchen's gaze fell on the divorce agreement on the table, and his eyes instantly turned chillingly cold.
"Is the Liang family's company about to go bankrupt, and Vice President Liang has to take on side jobs to make ends meet?"
With Liang Yanchuan's help, Ji Ying regained her footing, decisively stepped out of his embrace, and took over the conversation.
“I downloaded this agreement online and asked him to take a look at it. Vice President Liang is more professional than me in legal matters. I only contacted him to save on consulting fees. If President Gu has any complaints, he should come at me. There's no need to hurt innocent people.”
“Ji Ying,” Gu Yanchen’s smile was cold, “he is the first man you would protect like this.”
Ji Ying calmly shifted her gaze to the side, "You have no right to know the reasons behind this."
Gu Yanchen's gaze lingered on her face for two seconds.
“I’ll take this agreement back and ‘consider’ it carefully, and also see how capable this newly emerging third young master of the Liang family really is, daring to do things his brother wouldn’t even dream of. Now, Mrs. Gu, come with me.”
After saying that, he put his arm around Ji Ying's waist and took her away.
Liang Yanchuan stepped forward to stop her, saying, "President Gu, she is an independent individual, not your private property. Whether she stays or leaves, please respect her wishes."
"Oh, then ask my wife if she'd like to come with me?"
Ji Ying really didn't want Gu Yanchen to target Liang Yanchuan.
Regardless of whether he was Lin Yan or not, she didn't want him to get involved in her mess.
So she said softly, "Vice President Liang, thank you for your trouble with my matter. Please tell your brother that I thank him for introducing you to me..."
Upon hearing this, Gu Yanchen narrowed his eyes.
"...His kindness touched me deeply, and I will never forget what he did for me."
Gu Yanchen thus shifted his focus to Liang Jian, thereby protecting him.
Liang Yanchuan was deeply shocked and nodded mechanically.
Gu Yanchen led Ji Ying to the door, then turned back and said, "Vice President Liang has just returned to the country and probably doesn't know that the 'Starry Night Bath' at this hot spring resort is the real name. Tonight at eight o'clock, my wife and I will be hosting a dinner here and would like to invite Vice President Liang and President Liang. We hope you will do us the honor of attending."
After saying that, without waiting for Liang Yanchuan's reaction, Gu Yanchen pinched Ji Ying's waist hard and took her away.
The room he arranged was in another area.
Ji Ying has a psychological trauma related to his being under house arrest.
"Gu Yanchen, if you keep me under house arrest, I will ruin your reputation."
Ignoring her struggles, Gu Yanchen opened the door and pushed her expressionlessly.
The force was great; Ji Ying staggered a few steps, her knees slamming heavily onto the floor.
He looked up and his eyes were fixed on Wen Lingxue's toes, which were painted with bright red nail polish.
Wen Lingxue sat on the sofa with her legs crossed, wearing a revealing swimsuit, looking down at her from above.
"Sister-in-law, be careful. If you fall and get hurt, your brother will be heartbroken."
"She no longer receives that treatment."
Gu Yanchen walked to the sofa and sat down.
Wen Lingxue leaned against his arm like a clingy cat, and gave Ji Ying a provocative smile.
Ji Ying stood up by herself, looked at the two of them coldly, and had a mocking smile on her lips.
"So, Mr. Gu, you're inviting me to watch your 'paid show' for free?"
Gu Yanchen's gaze darkened, and Wen Lingxue got up and went to the wine rack to choose a bottle of red wine.
"Brother, this is fruit-flavored and has a very low alcohol content, so it's perfect for drinking while soaking in hot springs."
She poured two glasses, handing one to Gu Yanchen and the other to Ji Ying.
Ji Ying turned her head away, her eyes filled with disgust.
"Oh, does my sister-in-law dislike me that much?"
Wen Lingxue feigned grievance, but the next second she suddenly grabbed her chin.
"But what if I insist you drink it?"
Ji Ying's eyes flashed with anger, and she grabbed her wrist with her other hand and shoved her hard.
Wen Lingxue slightly rotated her wrist, and as a result, all the red wine was spilled onto Ji Ying's clothes, which was quite glaring.
Wen Lingxue showed no remorse whatsoever, instead mocking, "Sister-in-law, your clothes are dirty, hurry up and change them."
On the sofa was a set of clothes made of strips of cloth.
Even wearing it in the bedroom would make me shy.
Ji Ying knew that this was a planned tactic to humiliate her.
"Sister-in-law, go change."
Wen Lingxue picked up the few pieces of fabric and handed them to Ji Ying.
Ji Ying grabbed it and threw it in her face.
"This is the skin you use to entertain customers, don't use it to disgust me."
Gu Yanchen couldn't help but laugh.
A look of embarrassment crossed Wen Lingxue's face. "You're always flirting with men, so this is all you deserve to wear?"
Ji Ying was breathing heavily and raised her hand to slap her.
"You think you're something just because I give you a little attitude?"
Wen Lingxue was slapped into Gu Yanchen's arms. She was about to look up at him and cry when Gu Yanchen grabbed her neck first.
"I told you to teach her a lesson, not to get her clothes dirty. No matter what, she's still my wife. Are you trying to embarrass me by dressing her like that?"
Ever since Ji Ying moved out of Platinum Bay, Gu Yanchen's temper has become unpredictable.
Wen Lingxue was having difficulty breathing, her eyes filled with fear.
"Brother...I was wrong..."
Gu Yanchen coldly shook her off.
"Go outside and wear the things you bought."
Wen Lingxue coughed violently and, upon hearing this, rushed to his feet in alarm.
"No, brother! Please don't do this..."
Ji Ying frowned as she watched all this, a feeling she couldn't quite describe welling up inside her.
Does loving someone mean you have to be so humble as to lose yourself?
Lost in thought, she didn't notice that Gu Yanchen had already approached her.
