Yes, it was all Ling Yiran's fault! It was Ling Yiran who made her lose all she had gained.It just did not occur to Ling Luoyin that everything she had gained was also because of Ling Yiran....Ling Yiran had just finished delivering an order when she stepped into the small restaurant. Two figures immediately rushed over. One of them raised her hand and slapped Ling Yiran in the face.The slap struck so hard that Ling Yiran tottered back for several steps as she tasted blood in her mouth."You shameless creature. Are you so jealous of your little sister? How could you seduce your sister's boyfriend? Why did the Ling family have a daughter like you?" A shrill voice followed the fall of the slap.Ling Yiran looked coldly at Fang Cuie, her stepmother. She raised her hand to ward off Fang Cuie’s other hand as it came toward her.Fang Cuie glared at her. "Why, can't your mother hit you?"Ling Yiran coldly said, "I only have one mother, and you're not her!""Who do you think your
Ling Guozhi immediately caught his wife and shouted at his eldest daughter, "How can you treat your Aunt Fang this way? She's your elder, after all. Come on, apologize to your Aunt Fang!"Ling Yiran looked at her father coldly. She used to work hard to gain his approval so that he would treat her like how he treated Ling Luoyin, but it all turned out to be wishful thinking.Finally, she had given up completely. "Apologize? What do I have to apologize for? You expect me to crane my neck toward her and let her hit me if she wants to hit me? If she wants to scold me or even my mother, I have to let her? Do I have to be more explicit about who wronged my mother in the first place?"There was a flash of embarrassment on Ling Guozhi's face, but then, amid Fang Cuie's screams, he said, "So what if Aunt Fang hits you? Why don't you tell me the dirty deeds you've done to your little sister? If it hadn't been for you, she wouldn't have been dumped."Ling Yiran sneered. "Why don't you ask her
Yiran... Had better luck than her! Zhuo Qianyun's eyes dimmed when she thought of her past. Once, she also thought she had met a man who was willing to fight the whole world for her.However, it turned out that the man regarded her as his enemy.Pathetic and ridiculous—that was her comment on that relationship.Now, she just wanted Lil Yan to grow up well.Yi Jinli lowered his head to look at the corner of Ling Yiran's mouth that was injured from the slap. He saw that her cheek was swollen as well. There was a trace of blood trickling down the corner of her mouth. The sight stung his eyes.Frowning, his fingertip gently brushed across her wound. "Who did this?""Why are you here?" she asked without answering."I just finished some business and happened to pass by, so I thought I'd come and see you." It was a good thing he had come to see her. If he had not come, she would have been bullied by her father and stepmother just like that. "Who hit you just now?" He repeated his quest
She hesitated and said, "I'm actually quite happy at the small restaurant, and..." She paused and said very seriously, "I want to work on my own, Jin. If I were to work at your company, I won’t have to do anything if everyone knows I’m your girlfriend. I'll just sit there and get paid every month.""Isn't that great?" he asked."I want to see how far I can go on my own. I don’t expect to spend my whole life delivering food. I'm also looking at some research materials in private, hoping it'll help me in my future career," said Ling Yiran.She had begun planning for her future career.Yi Jinli raised his eyebrows slightly as he heard this. Then, he raised his hand and stroked her swollen cheek.She gasped in slight pain.He said, "Apply some medicine when you get back. Also, didn't I tell you to call me if there are any problems? Why didn't you call me?"God knew what would have happened if he had not decided to drop by.She replied somewhat awkwardly, "Uh... I forgot..." After a
Through this glass wall, one could see the hubbub in the center of the hall outside. There were singing and dancing performances by various resident singers.Compared with the noise outside, the private room was strangely quiet.Gu Lichen poured himself a cup of tea, sipped on it, and stared coldly at the uproar outside that was alien to him.The door was pushed open, and the sound of footsteps rang in the private room.Gu Lichen turned his head slightly and looked at the visitor. "You're here. Would you like a cup of tea?""No thanks." Yi Jinli walked to a chair opposite Gu Lichen and sat down. "I came to tell you a few simple words. I'll leave right after."Gu Lichen raised his eyebrows slightly. "Really? What do you want to tell me?""It's your business to break up with Ling Luoyin, but don't get Yiran involved. I have limited patience and won't let Yiran be targeted again and again." Yi Jinli warned.Gu Lichen's eyes glinted. "What do you mean?""Today, Ling Luoyin's paren
Yi Jinli pressed his thin lips together. He would never give Lichen that chance!In the private room, Gu Lichen pulled the platinum necklace from his neck that had a small silver bracelet hanging from it.His fingers gently rubbed against the bracelet which had been polished by him over the years.The bracelet was like the whole world to him.It turned out that the world had an affection that was so profound it could become heavier and heavier as it precipitated in bone and blood as time passed...."Cut!" The director once again stopped the filming. He looked sullenly at Ling Luoyin as he said, "What's the matter with you? I just want you to look sad after your mother's death. Is it so difficult to perform such a simple act? It's not like you've only been an actor for a year or two..."Listening to the director's criticisms, Ling Luoyin could only nod her head in response. She felt a sense of resentment in her heart.The director had been obedient to her in the past. All her s
'Has Lichen changed his mind?'Ling Luoyin looked around at all the people who ridiculed and taunted her earlier. She felt relieved!Hmph! Once she became Lichen's girlfriend again, she would drive all of them out of the entertainment industry one by one.Ling Luoyin left the set arrogantly.However, when she saw Gu Lichen, she realized that things... Might not be what she thought they were.The place where she was meeting Gu Lichen was in the detention center, and her parents were in the meeting room of the detention center.Gu Lichen was sitting in a chair, lazily sipping on his tea.On the other hand, her parents were trembling with fear. They were huddled in a corner on one side of the table.Ling Luoyin bit her lip, feeling butterflies in her stomach.What was going on here? Why did Lichen come here?She knew about her parents' detention, but because it was only for a few days, she did not care much as long as it did not get reported in the media.However, now..."Why
Gu Lichen looked at Ling Luoyin coldly. Fair? Was there ever justice in the world? If success was proportional to effort, he should have already found the little girl he spent so many years looking for!However... He had not!It was as if that person never existed in the world.However... That person existed!"If you want it to be fair, your mother slapped Ling Yiran, so let's be fair and slap you too," Gu Lichen said lightly.Ling Luoyin, Fang Cuie, and Ling Guozhi immediately froze at this.Fang Cuie sprang from her chair, screaming, "Why should I slap my daughter? You can't do that even if you're rich and powerful!""You can't hit your daughter?" Gu Lichen laughed as if he had heard a joke. "But you can casually slap your stepdaughter who isn’t related to you by blood, is that right?"There was a flash of embarrassment on Fang Cuie's face. However, she then argued. "How… How is it casual... It was Ling Yiran who shamelessly sabotaged your relationship with Luoyin..."Howeve
