Just as she turned around, she noticed Yi Jinli leaning against the door. His eyes were fixed on her."Who called you?" he asked as he approached her."My father," Ling Yiran answered. "I'm going to go home tomorrow night, so can you ask the driver not to pick me up at the Sanitation Service Center?"His eyes glistened thoughtfully. "Do you want me to go back with you?"She looked at him in surprise. Go back with her? Why would he go back with her? Besides, she was going back to deal with her mother's affairs."No, I can go back by myself," Ling Yiran said. "It's late. I'm going to bed now."In other words, she was asking him to leave.He narrowed his eyes slightly, bent down, and picked up a strand of her long hair with his fingers. "Why are you so against me?"She pressed her lips together and gave no answer."Then tell me what I must do so that you'll treat me like you used to." His breath was fragrant like an orchid, and it sprinkled on her face.He wanted her to smile lo
If Yiran did know some big shot, why would she work as a sweeper at the Sanitation Service Center and even become an extra for money?"No... Nothing, it's all over now," Ling Yiran said vaguely. "Sis Xu, I think I might not be suitable as an extra. I won't do this anymore. Please tell Old Guo that I apologize for the trouble. I'll quit the group chat later."After all, a lot of people had witnessed the scene yesterday. The entertainment industry was so small, and everyone met frequently. If she became an extra again, she would feel awkward. She might as well just stop right here.It was a pity that she could no longer use this method to earn extra money. As for now, she could only think of other ways to increase her income."I see." Sis Xu could see that Ling Yiran did not want to talk about what had happened yesterday, so she did not ask any more questions. She only said, "I'll talk to Old Guo later, but you'd better give Old Guo a heads up before you quit the group chat.""Will
"Here, sit down first," Ling Guozhi said.Ling Yiran sat down and asked directly, "Where are you going to move Mom’s grave to?”"There's no hurry," Ling Guozhi said and waved. "Let's talk about you and your sister first. I'm going to be a peacemaker for you two today. No matter what has happened before, you're still sisters. As an older sister, you must take care of your younger sister."Ling Yiran frowned slightly. "I just want to know where you’re going to move my mother’s grave."Ling Guozhi was upset. "Didn't I already say that we'll talk about this later? Let's talk about you and your sister first.""Sis, if I’ve done something wrong, don't take it to heart. I apologize." Ling Luoyin looked sincere.However, Ling Yiran was defensive.The more Ling Luoyin was acting like this, the more problematic it was.Sure enough, what Ling Guozhi said next also made Ling Yiran understand what Ling Luoyin's purpose was."Alright, you'll always be sisters. You can't hurt each other over
"All you talk about is your mother! You don't want anything good to happen to your sister. You sure are your mother's good daughter!" Ling Guozhi said angrily and stormed straight into the room. Moments later, he came out with a photo album.Ling Yiran shivered. That photo album was... her mother's photo album. It contained many photos of her and her mother!She saw Ling Guozhi take out a lighter and lit the album on fire. "Since you don't want anything good to happen to your sister, I don't need to give you this photo album. Your mother wouldn’t have wanted a daughter like you!"The album burst into flames, and Ling Guozhi threw it straight onto the tiled floor.Ling Yiran almost let out a scream. She pulled her sleeves over her hands to try and swat out the flames as best as she could.It could not burn. It could not!The photos inside were all memories of her and her mother! The photo album could not be burned like this!Ling Yiran did not even know how long she screamed for.
She would have been overjoyed if Ling Yiran got burnt until she was completely disfigured. At least Lichen would not go after a woman who was disfigured.What a pity that it did not happen!...Ling Yiran did not know how she got downstairs. She felt as if she was exerting all her strength with every step.Her hands that were holding the photo album kept shaking because she was so perturbed.She did not even dare to go through the photo album to see the extent of the damage.These were all her memories—memories with her mother!When she stumbled to the entrance of the neighborhood, a figure quickly approached her."What's the matter with you?" The slightly anxious voice rang over her head with an unconcealed worry.She felt as if she was enshrouded in a shadow. A pair of arms quickly moved to support her tottering body.Who was it? Who was holding her up?Ling Yiran slowly raised her head, and the first thing that came into her eyes was those extremely beautiful eyes. They w
Ling Yiran remained silent and was extremely quiet as if she was lost in a world of her own. It was only when the doctor was about to pull the photo album out of her hands that she seemed to suddenly come to her senses. She clutched it tightly with both hands while screaming, "No!""He's not taking it. He just wants to see the injuries on your hands," Yi Jinli said softly. "Sis, give it to me so that the doctor can take a good look at the injuries on your hands, okay?"Hearing the word ‘sis’, she finally turned her eyes to him. "Jin..." she murmured."It's me," he replied. "Tell me, what the hell happened?"Her lips trembled, and the tears in her eyes gushed out once again. "Burned... The photo album with all of Mom’s photos… All burned."She choked on her words. Each fluttering of her curled eyelashes seemed to bring more tears.Yi Jinli was shocked. This half-burnt album... Was this a photo album of her and her mother?After spending so much time together, he knew how importan
Her nose became sore, and the tears that had stopped for a moment came rushing back."If you want to cry, then just cry, Sis." His fingertips brushed over her eyes.The word ‘sis’ acted like a key, releasing all the pain and sorrow that had been repressed and locked up in her heart.Unable to contain her overwhelming emotions right now, Ling Yiran let out a sharp wail and finally burst into tears.She had not cried so bitterly for a long time. She realized a long time ago that no matter how loudly she wept or how much tears she shed that it would be useless. She had nothing to rely on but herself. Those tears were nothing but worthless things.Now, hearing him call her ‘sis’ made her think of her mother, of the brother in her belly who had taken shape but never made it out to call her ‘sis’.If her mother and brother had not died, would she be less lonely? Would she be given the chance to have a real family?Ling Yiran's crying took Yi Jinli by surprise. If he was distressed by
Qin Lianyi was shocked. She did not expect to hear a man's voice from the other end of the call. Besides, it sounded like... "Are you… Yi Jinli?" she asked breathlessly."Yes," he answered and hung up.Qin Lianyi stared at the phone in her hand. If Yiran was asleep and it was Yi Jinli who answered her phone… Did that mean that Yi Jinli was now with her best friend?Plus, if Yiran was not living in her rented house, where was she now? Qin Lianyi looked away from her phone to the closed door of the rented house. Could it be that... Yiran was now living with Yi Jinli?Was life truly so magical?Meanwhile, Yi Jinli put away Ling Yiran's phone. He gingerly lifted the person asleep in his arms and got out of the car.He took off his coat and covered her body in case she caught a cold.As he made his way inside, the servants could not hide their surprise at the sight in front of them. Although they suspected that Miss Ling was a special guest to be able to move into Yi residence, they
