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
"What are you doing here?" he asked as he got up and stepped forward."I dropped off the kids at their interest class nearby after leaving the hospital and dropped by to see you. By the way, Mrs. Kang's operation went well. The doctor said she can leave the hospital in a week," said Ling Yiran."Really?" Yi Jinli asked indifferently.Ling Yiran said, "If you have time, come with me to the hospital to see Mrs. Kang. Speaking of which, it seems that you haven't seen them after their first day here!""What's the matter? Do you want me to spend more time with them?" asked Yi Jinli."They're like family to me. They took good care of Lil Jin and me when we were in L City. Of course, I hope you can get along with them. You guys can get closer if you spend more time with each other, "said Ling Yiran."What will you do if I say I can never get along with them?" Yi Jinli asked abruptly.Ling Yiran was stunned. "What's wrong? Do you not like my mentor and his wife?""No, I just want to as
Old Lawyer Kang said, "We really want to pay our respects. We think it’d be disrespectful not to pay the dead our respects since we're already here. Why don't you bend the rules this time?"Ling Yiran only found what her mentor said a little far-fetched. After all, they did not need to pay their respects, but since her mentor and his wife wanted to do it so much, she said, "Okay, I'll talk to Jin. I'll take you there if Jin agrees.""Alright," said Old Lawyer Kang.Ling Yiran told Yi Jinli about the matter in the evening. "My mentor and his wife would like to go to the Yi family's cemetery to pay their respects to my father-in-law. Can they?""Pay their respects?" Yi Jinli raised his eyebrows slightly. "Whose suggestion was this?"Ling Yiran said, "Mrs. Kang suggested it, and my mentor also wants to do it. I know outsiders aren't allowed to enter, but they mean well."Yi Jinli pursed his thin lips. His eyes showed that he seemed to be thinking about something. Moments later, he s
