"It's all right. I'll find a job myself." She refused.His eyes darkened, and the fingers that clung to her hands tightened slightly. "You don't like me helping you to find a job, Sis?"Her body could not help but stiffen. It was as if her surroundings were filled with some kind of pressure."I want to find a job myself." She took a deep breath, her almond-shaped eyes meeting his dark gaze.It would have been much easier for her if he found her a job. The job he would have given her would certainly be one that was easier and paid a lot more.However, how long... would that last?When he got tired of the game in the future and kicked her out, all she would have then would be nothing.Or perhaps, in addition to this scruple, her refusal was to preserve what little self-respect she had left.Yes. Now, the ordeal of life and the cruelty of reality continued to wear away her pride.Once upon a time, it had been difficult for her to imagine what it was like to kneel to people, but i
Ling Yiran's face could not help but turn a little red. Subconsciously, she wanted to turn away.However, his fingers were under her chin the very next moment. "Sis seemed to be watching me intently just now. Why? Do you think I'm good looking?"She choked. How was she supposed to answer? Should she say that he was good looking? Or that he was not?Either one did not seem like a good answer! Ling Yiran felt her face burning and tried to avoid his gaze, but she was unable to do so.The servant who was on the side tactfully looked down, but the mere sound of their conversation roused a tempest in her heart.Young Master Yi treated Miss Ling differently. Was it true that Miss Ling would someday be the mistress of the Yi family as some people had said?However, did Miss Ling not work as a sanitation service worker at the Sanitation Service Center?Was it possible for... Young Master Yi to marry such a woman?...At night, Ling Yiran laid in bed. She was still awake and looking at
He paused slightly as he caressed her fingertips. "Why do you want to go back so soon?""I've recovered from my injury. There's no reason for me to live here anymore." She bit her lip slightly."Do you want to get out of here?" His face grew cold."Yes." She nodded."Are you that desperate to stay away from me?" Even his voice had grown cold."I'm used to being alone," she said.He gave a sudden sneer. "Used to being alone? If that's the case, why did you take me home in the first place? It was you who said that you're too lonely, so you wanted someone to accompany you. It was also you who said you want to be with me and want us to rely on each other. Have you forgotten all this?"Her eyelashes quivered a little. How could she have forgotten that? However, it was all a joke now.She was silent, and he looked at her steadily. The suffocating pressure was in the air again.Suddenly, his voice rang in her ears once again. "You said you want to leave because your wound has more or
The huge room was as cool as water at night. It was so cold that one could catch a cold!...As soon as Ling Luoyin got home, she heard that her mother had been dismissed from her job and that her father was also demoted from a supervisor to a regular employee!"How can this be?" Ling Luoyin said in surprise. Both of her parents worked in the public sector, and in this sector, as long as one did not make any mistakes, they would not get demoted at all, let alone fired.Besides, she was still Gu Lichen's girlfriend! Even if the head of the sector wanted to fire and demote her parents, they should also consider that!"Didn't you tell your superiors that I'm now Gu Lichen's girlfriend?" Ling Luoyin said."We did. Of course, we did." At the mention of this, Fang Cuie became very angry. She had told her boss that her daughter was the entertainment industry's prince's girlfriend and that in the future, she would marry into a rich and powerful family.However, Fang Cuie’s boss ignored
Ling Guozhi took on a ghastly expression and angrily said, "This unfilial daughter was put in prison and ruined our family. Now she's going to ruin us again?"After all, he had gone through many connections and spent a lot of money to get to his position as a supervisor!How could he accept the fact that he was now back to being a regular employee?Fang Cuie was furious too. She looked as if she was going to rush out and tear Ling Yiran into pieces after finding her."Mom and Dad, don't act on impulse. Sis has Yi Jinli behind her now. We should think about what we're going to do to her." Ling Luoyin advised. After all, she had suffered a lot from Ling Yiran before!Ling Guozhi and Fang Cuie thought about it and agreed. They then said, "What should we do now? Just suffer?""I'll think it over," Ling Luoyin said. She needed to think hard about how to deal with Ling Yiran and not let Ling Yiran play an increasingly important role in Lichen's mind.Otherwise, even if Yi Jinli got ri
Was it because life had made her more aware of the importance of money?Seeing her expression, Qin Lianyi suddenly hugged her. "Yiran, I've regretted for years that I didn't help you before. I know clearly that you were wronged, but I couldn’t find favorable evidence for you to help you reverse the case,” she said, word by word. These words had been buried in her heart for a long time."Even when you were in prison, I couldn’t do anything except to console you a little when I visited you. I hate this feeling. Now that I have some clues, I’ll do anything to help you reverse the case. Don't think too much about other things, and don't think you owe me anything."Qin Lianyi's voice, thick with self-accusation, flooded Ling Yiran's ears."Lianyi, I might not have survived at all in prison without your frequent visits and earnest devotion to my case. Don't think that your words are an inconsequential consolation. They give me the courage to live," Ling Yiran said, hugging her friend bac
She only managed to remember the first three and last digits of the license plate number.Immediately, Ling Yiran felt a burst of coldness spreading through her body. What happened? Who the hell were the people in the car? Why did they take Lianyi?!Now Lianyi...Was this considered kidnapping? Or... Ling Yiran subconsciously took out her phone and wanted to call her best friend, but she did not know what kind of situation her best friend was in right now. If she called her, it might make things worse.Her hands began to shake until they could barely hold her phone.With difficulty, she managed to dial 110 to call the police.After reporting the incident, she hurried to the parking lot management office. There were surveillance cameras in the parking lot. There should be surveillance footage of when the car took Lianyi.Nothing could happen to Lianyi, nothing!That was all Ling Yiran had in mind at the moment!...When Yi Jinli got a call from Ling Yiran, he could only hear s
She trembled and slowly raised her head, almost stiffly, to look at the person in front of her. Her wet black eyes seemed to slowly gain focus."Jin, can you help me find Lianyi?" She seemed to come to her senses just then. She hurriedly said, "The police just filed a case. They said they'll send someone to look for her, but they don't know when they'll find her. If only I remember the license plate number... Why didn’t I pay more attention?"There was a note of remorse in her voice.Yi Jinli stared at Ling Yiran. He had only ever seen her so anxious when something happened to her grandmother.Her grandmother was her relative, but Qin Lianyi? She was someone who was not related to her, yet she was still so worried about her.A wave of jealousy suddenly rose in his heart. He was jealous that she was so worried about Qin Lianyi. What about him? Would she be so worried about him if anything had happened to him?"Let's go home first. It's cold here," he said. "Look how cold your hand
