"All right, let's eat," said Yi Jinli.The four of them started eating their lunch. Yi Jinli offered to help Ling Yiran peel the prawns when they were eating this particular dish. Ling Yiran was a little embarrassed. After all, they were now in front of her best friend and Bai Tingxin.Qin Lianyi, in particular, even winked at her, making Ling Yiran a little speechless.Yi Jinli looked so graceful while peeling the prawns for her that he did not seem to care about other people's opinions.After the meal was over, Yi Jinli reminded Ling Yiran, "Don't forget to take your medicine 20 minutes after lunch.""Okay," replied Ling Yiran."Are you sick?" Qin Lianyi was shocked and asked with immediate concern."No, it's just some health-restoring pills. It’s medicine for the pain in my joints," answered Ling Yiran.Qin Lianyi was stunned. She knew about her best friend's imprisonment for three years. After she was released from prison, she suffered from rheumatism. Her joints would hurt
As if she could see what her best friend was worried about, Ling Yiran said, "Never mind, I'll find out the truth and give Hao Meiyu justice while clearing my name!"Never mind me. What about you? How are you with Bai Tingxin?" asked Ling Yiran."What else? That's all." Qin Lianyi shrugged and said, "We look just like a couple in a normal relationship."It was precisely because it looked too ‘normal’ sometimes that she often got into a trance, thinking that she was really dating Bai Tingxin. She even got caught up in this ‘dating’ feeling. She needed to remind herself constantly that everything was fake. Bai Tingxin was only going to take revenge after she fell in love with him."I still don't think Bai Tingxin is going to take revenge on you as you think," said Ling Yiran. If he wanted to take revenge on Lianyi, people like Bai Tingxin had a lot of ways to torment people. There was no need for him to choose such a circuitous and time-consuming method."I hope it's not what I thin
When Bai Tingxin saw Qin Lianyi's twinkling eyes, his mood inexplicably turned sour.When the car drove back to Shen City, it arrived at Yi residence first. Yi Jinli and Ling Yiran got out of the car while Bai Tingxin went to the driver’s seat."See you next time, Yiran," said Qin Lianyi as she bid Ling Yiran goodbye."Sure," replied Ling Yiran. "Thank you for today, and be careful on your way back!" With that, she and Yi Jinli walked through the large iron gates of Yi residence.Qin Lianyi kept her eyes fixed on Yi Jinli and Ling Yiran who were now behind the iron gates. Then, she heard Bai Tingxin's impatient voice. "Haven't you seen enough?""I'm just looking, that's all," muttered Qin Lianyi. When she met Yi Jinli at Yiran's rental house previously, although she did not perceive him as a hobo, she never thought of him as the local tyrant of Shen City!Then, a pair of hands grabbed Qin Lianyi's face. Her face was turned to face his. "Didn't you say you liked looking at my face
Fine, he was her creditor anyway!…After Ling Yiran and Yi Jinli returned to Yi residence, Yi Jinli asked, "Are you disappointed today? We went to S City but didn't find anything useful."Ling Yiran shook her head. "No.""You're not disappointed?" He seemed somewhat surprised."Because you're willing to help me find clues and clear my name. I'm happy regardless if we find something useful or not," she said.It was as if he really trusted her, and the original estrangement between them was slowly disappearing.He stared at her. He understood her desire to reverse the case, only... He could clear her name, but he could not tell her the truth.Even though it was a truth she wanted to know."As long as you're happy." He smiled slightly and sidestepped the topic by saying, "What are you going to do the next few days if you're not going to work?""I'm going to visit Grandma in a couple of days," she said. She was so busy with her work that she did not have time to call her grandmo
"..." She was speechless. No one had ever tasted other people's medicine just to know how bitter it was. Besides, it was medicine for women.Even though there was only a little bit left and it would not hurt him, but... Uh, he was a little careless in doing so."Why don't you have a piece of candy to keep the bitterness down?" she asked while still sucking on the candy in her mouth."Sure," he answered. However, instead of taking the candy on the plate, he leaned over to her. His hand grabbed the back of her head while his handsome face leaned close to her."You..." She had just opened her mouth when his kiss fell on her lips.All of a sudden, she could feel him prying his way inside her mouth. It was as if he wanted to rob her of everything...His kiss was lingering and domineering, making her almost breathless. The bitterness was mixed with sweetness, and it was evident by the end of the kiss that she could not tell what was the taste in her mouth.When the kiss was over, she
Ling Yiran hesitated and nodded yes, not wanting to give the butler a hard time.Ling Yiran had the driver drive her to a mall downtown.She wanted to buy something suitable for her grandmother to eat and wear. The mall's lower floors were full of restaurants and eateries, so Ling Yiran went there first.She looked at the cakes and pastries and chose a dessert that was suitable for people with high blood sugar. It was a bit expensive, but Ling Yiran bought it anyway after remembering that her grandmother's blood sugar level would sometimes get too high.After paying for the pastries, she walked up the escalator with it in hand.When she reached the second floor, someone suddenly walked up to her. Before she could even see who it was, she was slapped hard in the face.Ling Yiran's whole body staggered and she nearly fell to the floor. She steadied herself, but the pastry case she was holding had fallen to the floor."I thought my eyes were deceiving me, but it really is you. You'
"Seriously, aren't you afraid of embarrassing yourself in a place like this!" said Hao Qirong.Lyu Zhixue angrily said, "I saw her and got so angry. Tell me, does what she just said sound something like what a human would say? She killed Meiyu but is saying that she never harmed anyone!"Hao Qirong stared sharply at Ling Yiran. "You got out. Whether it was a wrongful conviction is a matter for the court to decide, but when you talk about rights..."Hao Qirong's eyes glistened with disdain as if he was looking at an ant he could crush. "You're not qualified to talk about rights in front of me."With that, he said to the security guard beside him, "Kick the woman out and send her picture to the mall's security and management. This woman is not allowed to enter the mall again."The security guard responded, and Ling Yiran was forced out by the man on her right and left."My... My things are still on the ground." Since he could say something like this, it meant that the mall was owne
Hao Qirong's eyes flickered. "It’ll be easy to make someone like her go to prison again. I'll give the orders later."He made light of the matter as if such manipulation of other people's destinies was a perfectly normal thing.With a twinkle in her eyes and gnashing of her teeth, Lyu Zhixue said, "Then give her a life sentence this time. I want her to stay in there for the rest of her life!" It was the only way to get rid of her hatred."All right, I'll do as you please. Don't think too much about Meiyu and hurt yourself. Think about Yimeng," said Hao Qirong"Of course, Yimeng is our only daughter now. Who else will I think about?" said Lyu Zhixue. "It's just a pity that the man she likes is the Xiao boy. If it's Yi Jinli, we might still be his in-laws!" Lyu Zhixue seemed to say this with some reluctance."We can't be that fortunate all the time. At least... Yimeng is getting what she wants now," said Hao Qirong."Then you must make me get my wish soon too. I must see Ling Yiran
