Chapter 29 Using Her to Break the Stalemate
Gu Yanchen could easily see the formality of the agreement.
Once this agreement is signed, even if they divorce, he will have no excuse to get the money back.
He knew exactly what she was up to.
Gu Yanchen looked at the lingering bluish-gray in her eyes, his expression softening slightly. "Call me 'husband' before you sign."
...
Not long after Gu Yanchen left, Ji Ying changed her clothes and prepared to go out.
She put the agreement into her bag while making the call.
The phone rang only twice before Xiao Xia answered.
Before she could even catch her breath, Miss Xiao immediately launched into a tirade against Gu Lingxue.
"What kind of world is this? The more shameless they are, the more arrogant they become. Who does she think she is? She has a deformed brain, using the scumbag's affection as a shield. Look how capable she is."
Ji Ying listened patiently as she finished ranting before calmly saying, "Gu Lingxue is not simple; you shouldn't get into a conflict with her."
Xiao Xia retorted, "I'm afraid of her?"
Ji Ying stared at the ceiling, her gaze deep and intense.
“She was far away in Aalborg, yet she was able to control the whole situation remotely. I almost died, but she came back unharmed and even got Madam Gu to agree to let her stay. Not everyone can do that.”
Suddenly, there was no sound from Xiao Xia's side.
Ji Ying continued, "I tore off her mask with a glass of water, and the next day she tested Gu Yanchen's attitude towards her with a bottle of shower gel. After confirming that he was suspicious, she took advantage of our photo-taking opportunity to cover up her mistake and sewed the mask back on..."
Even though she no longer loved him, Ji Ying still felt bad thinking about how her husband had abandoned her when they were in danger.
"Xiaxia, I'm fighting her because I'm trapped in my marriage. I need to use her to break out of this predicament. But you're no match for her. You can't mess with her, understand?"
Xiao Xia bit her lip on the other end of the phone, "But I'm really angry."
Ji Ying smiled and said, "Gu Yanchen has already signed the gift agreement, so I'm not worried that he will use Qing Sui's shares to do anything in the future."
Xiao Xia wasn't particularly happy over there. Knowing that Ji Ying had risked her life for this agreement, she felt more heartbroken for her good friend.
"Have a colleague from the legal department send it to you for notarization to ensure everything is in order."
After hanging up the phone, Ji Ying went downstairs.
Aunt Yang was waiting for her.
"Is Madam going out again?"
Ji Ying nodded, "I'm quite busy, so you don't need to prepare my meals anymore."
She spoke cryptically, but Mrs. Yang understood immediately.
From now on, Platinum Bay will only be a place for her to stay.
“Madam,” Mrs. Yang said with some reluctance, “I wish you find a better man.”
Ji Ying was somewhat surprised, "Sister Yang, you..."
Aunt Yang sighed in exasperation.
“Although there was nothing wrong with Mr. Gu and Miss Gu when they were at the old house, it was too much for him to bring his stepsister to live with them. I had my own selfish reasons before, and I didn’t want you and Mr. Gu to divorce because I was afraid that if this family fell apart, Mr. Gu would make me go back to the old house. But I can’t let my selfishness cloud my conscience. Your decision to divorce Mr. Gu was the right one.”
Ji Ying didn't understand why Aunt Yang was unwilling to return to the old house, but the fact that Aunt Yang could say such understanding things proved that she had normal values.
"Don't worry, Mrs. Yang. No matter who Mr. Gu is with, Platinum Bay will need someone to take care of it. He won't let you go back."
But after hearing her words, Yang Sao's brows did not relax; instead, they furrowed even more.
...
Ji Ying sent the contract to Qing Sui Power and then went to the hospital in the afternoon.
My grandfather's complexion has recovered very well, and he will be able to be discharged from the hospital soon.
The demolition of the Lin family's old house greatly affected my grandfather's mood.
Ji Ying comforted him for a while and was about to leave when Gu Yanchen called.
Where?
"To the hospital, to see my grandfather," she said truthfully.
"The traditional Chinese medicine doctor I arranged for you is back. Just wait at the hospital. I'll have Chen Yuan bring him to see you."
Ji Ying replied coldly, "Thank you."
There was a two-second silence on the other end, followed by a reminder: "Dr. Sun only sees five patients a day, and it's very difficult to get an appointment with him, so don't go anywhere else."
Gu Yanchen was afraid that she would be reluctant to see it, but how could Ji Ying not cherish her own body?
Ji Ying did not respond and hung up the phone.
Lin Meizhen felt very sorry for Gu Yanchen.
"With your personality, it's only because Gu Yanchen likes you that he can tolerate you. If it were someone else, he would have dumped you long ago. Don't take your good fortune for granted."
Ji Ying, out of consideration for her grandfather, did not retort.
"Have you found a place yet? A mid-range neighborhood, suitable for seniors," she asked.
Lin Meizhen's face turned pale. "I've found someone, and they're perfect in every way."
Grandpa looked at Ji Ying weakly, "Girl, I told you, don't bother with me anymore. Don't buy a house, my health won't last much longer, renting is fine."
Lin Meizhen objected, "What about me? Aren't you thinking about me?"
"you?"
Grandpa gets really angry whenever she's mentioned.
"Yingying has been married into the Gu family for four years. They deposit one million into your account every month. I know exactly how much I've spent. After deducting normal living expenses, you should have saved enough money to last a lifetime. She has long since repaid the debt of gratitude we owe her for raising her. Do you really want to live off her for the rest of your life?"
Lin Meizhen pouted guiltily and said, "Of course I didn't mean that."
“Grandpa,” Ji Ying held the old man’s hand, “You are destined to live to be a hundred years old, so don’t say such unlucky things.”
Ji Ying waited in the ward for more than an hour but no one contacted her.
There's something going on with Qing Sui, and she needs to go back there.
Ji Ying couldn't sit still any longer and decided to go to the hospital entrance to take a look.
As soon as they got downstairs, they saw an elderly man in a Tang suit walking briskly out of another elevator, followed by Gu Lingxue and Chen Yuan.
Both of them were stunned when they saw her.
Gu Lingxue was the first to come to her senses and quickened her pace toward the old man.
"Mr. Sun, this is the patient you made an appointment with. You can take a look at her; it won't take much time."
Gu Lingxue blocked Old Master Sun's way.
She was thin and frail, requiring little expression; even just a few breaths were enough to evoke pity.
But Old Sun remained unmoved.
"Ms. Gu, I've already seen five patients today, so I won't be adding any more. Please make another appointment."
Chen Yuan quickly stepped forward and said, "Mr. Sun, your appointment is more than two months away. These two are important people to President Gu. Besides, she's already here, so why don't you take a look at her as well?"
When Old Master Sun heard him bring up Gu Yanchen, he did not compromise. Instead, he said unhappily, "Please tell President Gu that I have repaid the favor I owe him. As for the lady who took my pulse just now, I don't think she has any endocrine problems. Since my diagnosis differs from the hospital's diagnosis, I will not prescribe any medicine."
Upon hearing this, Chen Yuan felt as if the sky had fallen.
Ji Ying also realized that Gu Lingxue had given the treatment slot originally reserved for her to Wen Li.
