"Jinli..." The words gently came out of Mrs. Kang's mouth after quite some time.Yi Jinli replied with a smile.The atmosphere warmed up again. After the meal, Yi Jinli said to Ling Yiran on the way home, "Your mentor's wife seems to be afraid of me."Ling Yiran said, "She's probably nervous. She said it herself, it's the first time she saw someone whose name she has only read about in the newspapers. Mrs. Kang is only a housewife. My mentor feels sorry about his wife's legs, so he doesn’t let her work. Naturally, she hasn't met many people. It's natural for her to be nervous when she meets you. After all, the rumors about you...""Rumors? What rumors?" Yi Jinli raised his eyebrows and seemed to look at Ling Yiran with great interest.Ling Yiran immediately felt awkward. The rumors about him were definitely nothing good. They called him ruthless and cold-blooded. In Shen City, anyone who offended him would end up miserably."Hmm? What rumors? They made your mentor's wife so nervo
When Ling Yiran heard this, she instantly knew that Dr. Su had some confidence in his treatment plan. However… Mrs. Kang’s hamstring was cut when she was younger? It surprised Ling Yiran.'Was it cut by accident or did someone… cut her hamstring? If someone did it, who would do such a cruel thing to a woman?'After carefully consulting Dr. Su about the operation, Old Lawyer Kang and his wife decided to go back and talk it over before coming to a decision.Ling Yiran took the two elderly back to Yi Residence and arranged for them to have lunch there.Old Lawyer Kang looked around after entering Yi Residence. He had a good look around and could not stop tutting and praising.On the other hand, Mrs. Kang remained silent. Although she followed him and looked around, she did not make a sound.When they passed Yi Jinli and Ling Yiran's master bedroom, Mrs. Kang suddenly said, "May I... enter this room and have a look?""Sure," said Ling Yiran as she opened the door. "This is my and Ji
The memorial tablets of Yi Jinli's father and Old Master Yi were set up in the inner hall.Mrs. Kang's eyes turned red when she saw the two memorial tablets. She quickly said, "I... I'll offer some incense!"With that said, she picked up the unused incense sticks in front of the memorial tablets, lit them up, and offered them.Old Lawyer Kang glanced at his wife and followed suit."Mrs. Kang, are you okay?" asked Ling Yiran when she looked at Mrs. Kang's red eyes."It’s n-nothing. I just think it's a pity that your father-in-law... died so young," murmured Mrs. Kang."My father-in-law loved my mother-in-law too much. He lost the will to live after losing the person he loved. Maybe death was a relief for him," Ling Yiran said with a sigh. However, her father-in-law had left his pain to the living to bear."How... How did he die?" muttered Mrs. Kang."He froze to death by the roadside. That's when Jin came back to the Yi family holding my father-in-law's ashes, "said Ling Yiran.
She wanted to see her son and her two other biological grandchildren whom she had never met.Her heart was filled with unspeakable bitterness from the moment she stepped into the Yi family’s house.She had once tried every means possible to join the Yi family but could only sneak into Yi Residence without Old Master Yi's knowledge.She used Qianxue's feelings as a bargaining chip to enter Yi Residence. However, she underestimated the old master's cruelty, which eventually killed Qianxue and hurt her!"He'll forgive you. If he loved you that much, he'd hate for you to be so miserable," said Old Lawyer Kang as he gently hugged his wife.She had her right hamstring cut, and she was disfigured when he first met her, but he was strangely attracted to her.They had been married for 20 years now. On the day he married her, she told him all about her past, but he still insisted on marrying her.He knew she felt indebted to two people—her ex-husband and her son. However, she never reve
"Yeah. Dr. Su said it's because it didn't heal properly at the time, so it became harder to walk as she got older," said Ling Yiran.As she spoke, she saw Yi Jinli's face turning paler and paler. She said, "What's come over you? Are you okay?""I..." He drew a long breath, raised his hand to rub his temples. "Go to bed first. I suddenly remember that I have some unfinished business to attend to. I'll work on them in my study."With that said, he hurried out of the room and into the study.Yi Jinli instantly closed the study door and leaned his back against it as soon as he walked in.He recalled the conversation with Secretary Wang in the detention center. At that time, Secretary Wang had also mentioned one thing... "By the way, Young Master, haven't you been looking for your mother? Here's a tip. After your father died, Old Master Yi found your mother and had someone cut one of her hamstrings. Old Master Yi intended to cripple your mother, but she was lucky and escaped..."'Coul
"Okay!" replied Qin Lianyi.Once she got back to her desk, Qin Lianyi dealt with the projects at hand and handed over what she ought to hand over.By afternoon, everyone knew about her pregnancy.Many nosy colleagues wondered who the father of her baby was!"Lianyi, is the baby in your belly Bai Tingxin's?" Some colleagues surmised.Another group of colleagues instantly rushed over. "Wow, is Lianyi going to marry into a rich family?""Lianyi is going to be a young madam!""Wow, I'm so envious of her!"Before Qin Lianyi got to say anything, someone poured cold water over her with their words. "Oh, some people just want to get to the top through their baby. If it were so easy to marry into rich families, those rich families would have long been overcrowded.""I know, right? I heard that Bai Tingxin left Shen City a few days ago. If he wanted to marry Lianyi, he would have brought Lianyi with him.""Lianyi, let's hope it's not all for nothing. Rich and powerful families have no
A meaningful glint flickered in Gao Manlin's eyes. These so-called banquets held by socialites were, to put it bluntly, blind date banquets held by the high society. If it were in the past, Bai Tingxin would never attend this sort of banquets.Did it mean Bai Tingxin had gotten over Qin Lianyi, which was why he was attending them?After lifting the blood curse, Bai Tingxin gave the Gao family a good price and acquired their properties as they had agreed. However, the money could hardly make up for Gao Manlin's reluctance.She had lost her glory, and it was all only because Bai Tingxin wanted to avenge Qin Lianyi!Frankly speaking, she ended up where she was now because of Qin Lianyi!Qin Lianyi had Bai Tingxin protecting her before this, so she dared not touch her. However, since Bai Tingxin had left Qin Lianyi, she wanted Qin Lianyi to pay the price!A slight smile appeared on the corners of Gao Manlin's lips. Then, she thought of how she had met Qin Lianyi's eyes when she was d
Whenever she looked into her son’s eyes, which were similar to hers, she could not help but feel afraid. They were sharp and calm as if he could see through her at any time. She could also feel him silently rebuking her for what she had done back then. "The doctor said that you need to be hospitalized for about a week. We'll return to L City after a week. No one will know about all this," said Old Lawyer Kang.Mrs. Kang nodded gently. She probably would not return to Shen City after going back to L City. "Xiangwei, I want to visit Qianxue's tomb before I leave. I... I've never felt more sorry for anyone in my life. I want to apologize to him personally."Old Lawyer Kang said, "Let... Let's tell Yiran that, then. There shouldn’t be a problem. Just keep your emotions in check and don't let them sense anything."In the hospital's blood laboratory, someone carefully handed Gao Congming a blood sample. "This is what you wanted.""Good. Don't let anyone find out about this," warned Gao
