“Have you forgotten what happened to your father?” The old man once again brought up the past.“I haven’t forgotten, and I’ve said it, I won’t walk the path my father did,” Yi Jinli said.“If that’s the case, you should chase that woman named Ling Yiran out of the Yi Residence and never let her appear in your life again!” Old Master Yi growled.“I’m afraid that’s not possible.” Yi Jinli’s gaze darkened. His heart tightened momentarily when he heard the old man’s words and rejected the idea out of reflex. He would not even think twice about it.“You...” Old Master Yi choked on his breath as he stared at his grandson.“Grandpa, I will not walk the path my father did. I’ll make sure that everything is under control. I’ll make Yiran so used to my presence that she won’t be able to leave me at all.” Yi Jinli had a light smile on his face, but the threat in his gaze was evident. “Therefore, I hope that grandpa will not meddle with my affairs. If you do try to interfere, then I can’t gua
It was a hassle to visit the grave. Additionally, as time went by, the tombstone began to crack. It cost a huge fortune to repair it. Hence, it was a much better option to move the grave to a proper cemetery.However, Ling Yiran ended up in jail and thus, the idea was put on hold. After serving her sentence, Ling Yiran was left with not much money. Hence, not only was she unable to afford to pay for a place in a cemetery, but she could not even afford the labor fee for the workers to help her move the grave.When Ling Yiran arrived at the foot of the hill, she saw that the villagers had set up a registration counter under a makeshift tent. Many people were coming and going to visit the cemetery.When it was Ling Yiran’s turn in line, she gave her mother’s grave number. To her surprise, the person handling the registration counter immediately responded after hearing the number by saying, “That grave was moved. What are you still doing here?”“Moved?” Ling Yiran was stunned.“Yes, i
Shortly after, the neighbor next door informed her that her father and her stepmother had gone on a vacation and nobody was in. As for Ling Luoyin, according to the neighbor, she had bought a larger house and thus hardly came home.When Ling Yiran heard that, she knew that her father and stepmother had done so on purpose. They knew that she would be visiting her mother’s grave today and thus planned to be away at this time.‘50 million.’ Her scalp numbed at the thought of her father’s request.With her current situation, she had no way of producing 50 million for her father!After Ling Yiran bid farewell to the neighbor, she called Ling Luoyin, “Where are you? I need to meet you.”“I’m sorry, but I’ve been very busy lately,” Ling Luoyin answered lazily.“I only want to ask you one question, where did dad shift my mother’s grave?” Ling Yiran asked.“I don’t know.” Ling Luoyin’s tone was filled with mockery.“Then where are they having their vacation? You should know.”“Oh, how
At the same time, another pair of lips that had never worn lipstick before appeared in his mind in its natural color.That light pinkish tone looked so natural that it made him feel it was the best lip color.“Wipe it off,” Gu Lichen plainly said.“What?” Ling Luoyin was unable to process his words.“I said, wipe away your lipstick now,” Gu Lichen said.Ling Luoyin was dumbfounded. They were now... on the way to an event. She had dressed up to the nines because she wanted to shine amidst the crowd. If she were to wipe away her lipstick, her makeup would lose its attractiveness. Then, she would not stand out in the crowd and instead become the joke of the town.“Now? But we’re about to reach the location of the party...”“Now.” Gu Lichen interrupted her. There was an expression of displeasure in his phoenix-like eyes.Ling Luoyin had no choice as she dared not offend Gu Lichen. All she could do was bite her lip lightly, take out a tissue, and wipe her lips.On the other hand, G
Yi Jinli knew that Ling Yiran did not like the dark; even when she went to bed she would always sleep with the lights on.In the past when they were still staying in a rental house, she was able to sleep with the light off for a while. However, she reverted to the habit of sleeping with the lights on later.He frowned slightly. Was she not in the room?However, just as he was about to turn away, he heard muffled crying.She was there!There was a sudden pause in his tracks and then his hand reached the wall to turn on the lights. Consequently, light poured into the room.All Yi Jinli could see was a thin figure that was huddled in the corner of the room. She was crouching with her back facing the wall; her face was buried in her knees, and her shoulders were twitching. The low, repressed sobs came from her continuously.Was she crying?His black eyes narrowed, and he quickly walked up to her. Crouching down and looking at her, he asked, "What's the matter? What happened?"Ling
"Yes," She choked, but she did not know how else to get 50 million dollars.All of a sudden, Yi Jinli chuckled. "I don't want to!"Ling Yiran’s body stiffened as a result, and all of a sudden, she looked like a deflated ball. Even the last gleam in her eyes disappeared.Yes, of course he would reject her. What made her think that if she stayed with him and granted him everything he asked, he would give her 50 million dollars?Ling Yiran laughed at herself. Was it because she had thought that she was worth that much or because she thought his interest in her was worth 50 million dollars?Ling Yiran lowered her head in silence. Her hand that had been holding Yi Jinli's hand seemed to have lost all its strength as it let go.Yi Jinli looked darkly at Ling Yiran and after a moment, stood up and said, "I think you'd better get some rest, Sis. I'll ask the servant to get you something to eat. Eat before you go to bed."With that, Yi Jinli walked out of the room and Ling Yiran was left
Yi Jinli picked up the plate of food, went up to her, and laid it in front of her. "Sis, if you want to know where your mother is buried, you'd better eat this now."Ling Yiran looked up, her red and swollen almond-shaped eyes wearing an expression of surprise.What did he mean by that? Did it mean... "Do you know where my mother is buried?""I'll tell you after you finish this," He said.When Ling Yiran heard this, she felt as if she suddenly had some motivation. She picked up the food on the tray and started to eat.Yi Jinli frowned. She was now gobbling up the food like a beast and was unlike her usual self.Nevertheless, it proved how important her mother's grave was to her.Yi Jinli furrowed his brows and looked at the tears that had rolled down Yiran's face. Her eyes seemed redder and more swollen than when he last talked to her.Therefore, during the time he had been gone, she had cried again?"Eat slowly. Even if your father buried your mother in the north or south pol
"You asked me for 50 million dollars. Why don’t you just let me help you find out where your mother is buried?" he asked.She was shocked. He reminded her that she was really stupid. Even if she gave her father 50 million dollars, would her father be satisfied? Would he not ask for more?Just like what Yi Jinli said, instead of asking him to give her 50 million dollars, she could just ask him to help her find out where her mother's grave was.She could only say that she panicked, so she did not even notice such a simple thing."Can you take me there now?" Ling Yiran asked anxiously. She could only calm down once she was sure where her mother was buried."There's no hurry. You need to take a break first. Take a nap if you're sleepy," said Yi Jinli.However, Ling Yiran was not in the mood to sleep! She just looked at him longingly.About 15 minutes later, Yi Jinli's phone rang. A moment after Yi Jinli answered it, he replied, "All right, got it. Wait for me over there, and settle
