Everyone's faces changed immediately. Her third aunt directly blurted out, "What do you mean?""That means I'm not going to give you 200,000!" Ling Yiran coldly said, "I never said that I know any big shots. Grandmother is also your mother. You have to take care of her too. Don't you find it ridiculous to ask a maternal granddaughter like me to cover your travel fares and all of Grandmother’s medical bills?"Yiran, you're wrong to say so. Your first uncle and second uncle witnessed with their owns the big shot carrying you out of Feng's residence that day.""I don't know anything. All I remember is that I was drugged by my first uncle and second uncle," Ling Yiran said mockingly. "Maybe he was just doing me a favor. I can't stand to see people cheat their niece like this. Why don't First Uncle and Second Uncle tell me who the big shot is so that I can go and thank him."Old Man Lu and his children looked at each other.She did not know? Was that possible?!"Yiran, you need to pay
“Then I’ll say I can’t cure this illness and bring your mother home. I’ll see if she’ll contribute this money!” Old Man Lu said angrily.“But what if she really sues us?” First Uncle said, worried.Second Uncle hurriedly added, “Yes, she was a top law student back then and had even been a lawyer. Moreover, backing her now…. That big figure is probably there. If they really sue us, we probably won’t be able to win the lawsuit.”Old Man Lu rubbed his chin. His expression was ugly as he said, “Then you three sum up the remaining three quarters of the medical bill.”“You want us to cover the expenses?” Third Aunt hastily asked.“What else? Wait for that brat to sue us?” Old Man Lu glared angrily at his daughter. “If you don’t contribute to these medical expenses, don’t think you can get a single penny from the coming expropriation compensation!”Third Aunt did not make a sound anymore. Although she was a daughter who had already married off, the family said before that they would giv
“Nothing happened. Since she did some things she shouldn’t have, naturally, she should bear the consequences,” Gu Lichen said carelessly as if he did not think it was a big deal at all.However, when Ling Yiran heard it, her heart jumped. Saying it this way… Had Zhong Rongrong been silenced? She might even have been forced out of show business.From then on, she would no longer have luxuries to adorn herself and would have to live a plain life.On this planet, how many would willingly choose plainness? Especially someone who had experienced luxury before. She was afraid Zhong Rongrong would not be able to withstand that kind of commoner’s plainness.“What, are you sympathizing her?” Gu Lichen looked at the woman before his eyes and said, “That day, Zhong Rongrong was not courteous to you at all, though.”“I’m not sympathizing. I think she wouldn’t want my sympathy either,” Ling Yiran said. “You don’t have to treat me to a meal as an apology either. I need to catch the bus back to
Was she not anxious to no longer have any ties with Yi Jinli? After all, his existence to the previous her was like a nightmare. However, just now… She had actually thought about him saving her!“Why were you at the hospital?” Gu Lichen’s voice abruptly sounded in the car.“My maternal grandmother is sick. I came to visit her,” she said. Even if she did not say it, he could find out with a discreet check.“Your grandmother lives in this town?” he asked.“Uh-huh.”“Then, you…. lived here in the past too?” His voice seemed to carry some hesitation.“I lived here for some time when I was little, but I went back to Shen City after becoming a little older,” she said.“Is that so? Then when you stayed here when you were little, did anything unusual happen?” When he asked this, his fingers that were holding the steering wheel tightened slightly.“I don’t understand what you mean by ‘something unusual’,” Ling Yiran replied. “Moreover, when I was here, I was still little. Even if someth
“Is that so,” she said as she leaned forward. She somehow felt that his words were said on purpose for her to hear.His ink-black phoenix eyes stared at the face in front of him. Gu Lichen’s thin lips parted slightly as he resumed saying, “Because back then, I was separated from someone in that hospital. That person told me once that she really liked to eat at this restaurant, so I’ll come to sit here and have their food every year on the day I was separated from her.”“In that case, I think that person must be someone very important you, huh?” said Ling Yiran. Hearing his tone, it seemed that he really missed that person.“Yes, very important. To me, her life is nearly as important as mine.” His indifferent tone sounded as if he was saying something very natural.However, Ling Yiran was shocked when she heard this.Gu Lichen was this concerned about a person he parted with? Originally, in her eyes, someone like him who constantly changed girlfriends, and was even so merciless to
After all, when he met that person back then, it was right in this small town.Except when he asked her about it, it seemed that he had overthought this.“You’re not her,” he said casually. She was not that person.What? Doubt flashed through Ling Yiran’s eyes.At this time, the boss of the restaurant served up the dishes. Gu Lichen said, “Alright, let’s eat. Want to have some wine?”Ling Yiran recalled her experience of being drunk in front of Yi Jinli and swiftly shook her head. “No need. I’ll just have a regular drink.”Thus, Gu Lichen got the boss to bring two bottles of beverage over.“You’re not drinking wine either?” She raised her eyebrows.“I’ll be driving later, so I won’t drink,” he said.Her expression darkened suddenly as she thought of that car crash that got her to be sentenced. The charge was for drunk driving, but she had not drunk anything that day at all!“That’s right. You had a car crash back then because you drove drunk, right?” His voice suddenly sounde
In these few days, she had been working and busying herself with knitting the pair of gloves. Early this morning, she got on the bus to rush here and had been busy the whole day.Hence, it did not take long before Ling Yiran unwittingly shut her eyes and fell asleep.Gu Lichen slid a glance at the sleeping Ling Yiran and turned the volume down.After she fell asleep, she looked even more like the person in his memories. She actually looked similar with her eyes open too, but when she had her eyes open, there was a kind of weather-beaten suppression in her expression. It was something that the person in his memories never had.That person in his memories had clear, bright eyes that seemed to be full of limitless hope.When Ling Yiran woke up, the car was already at the gates of the village she lived in.She suddenly felt embarrassed and quickly undid her safety belt. “How long was I sleeping for?”“It’s fine. Not long,” he said.Ling Yiran quickly got out of the car. She reached
Then, she heard the sound of her young, clear voice singing ‘Man Bu Ren Sheng Lu’.“What if we… get caught again and can’t escape?” The boy’s voice rang out.“Idiot! With me here, how can we not escape? I’ll definitely take you with me and escape!”“If you ditch me, you’ll definitely be able to escape.”“There’s no way I'm going to ditch you! I said that I will protect you, so I’ll protect you! I’m not afraid of those bad guys!”“Why aren’t you going to leave me?”“Because we’re friends!”“Ah!” Ling Yiran opened her eyes with a start. In a flash, she sat up on her bed with her eyes wide open. What entered her line of vision was the pale rays of light.This was her rental home! Ling Yiran abruptly breathed in as she looked at the time. It was only three in the morning.Did she… have a dream? It seemed that she had dreamt of a conversation between her younger self and a boy. Furthermore, she had sung Teresa Teng’s ‘Man Bu Ren Sheng Lu’.Good heavens, why would she have had a
