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
Some reporters discovered that Ling Luoyin was selling off her house and jewelry. Even the house her parents lived in was put on sale online, presumably to gather money for the penalty for breach of contract.A busybody managed to get all of Ling Luoyin’s uncompleted contracts and worked out that the total amount of compensation was estimated to be more than 70 million dollars.For Ling Luoyin, a D-list actress with a normal family background, this was a big number. Selling all her possessions might not even be enough to cover it.Ling Yiran looked at the news on her phone, and one of the photos showed information about her family home that they had given the real estate agent.There were some collages of the interior of the house in the information.The Ling family's sale price online was 5,800,000 dollars.The house with memories of her and her mother was now up for sale for 5,800,000. Ling Yiran felt a little emotional.Actually, after so many years, there were hardly any tra
Yi Jinli said, "Now that you've mentioned it, there's no harm in telling you." Even if he did not tell her now, she would know about it soon.After all, it was not really a secret in Shen City's high society.He might as well tell her himself rather than have someone else break the story to her."Gu Lichen is indeed looking for someone. He’s looking for a girl he knew when he was young, but he still hasn’t found her. You can say that his girlfriends are substitutes for that girl. Since he can't find the right person, he finds replacements to comfort himself instead," Yi Jinli said as he watched Ling Yiran's reaction.Ling Yiran could not help furrowing her brows. "He's looking for a substitute for a little girl?""His ex-girlfriends look more or less like that little girl.”"But they're not the one he's looking for. Is it fun to keep looking for substitutes?" she asked."Maybe he's too obsessed with it, or maybe he’s on the verge of despair. After all, maybe he doesn't even thin
Speaking of which, Guan Lili had deliberately ordered several times ever since learning she was delivering food here. How could Ling Yiran not know what Guan Lili was thinking?"What's the matter? Is there something wrong with the order?" asked Zhuo Qianyun from the cashier counter."It's nothing." Ling Yiran chuckled. Then, she picked up the order, walked over to her electric bike, and rode off toward the law firm.When Ling Yiran went into the firm carrying Guan Lili’s food, Guan Lili came forward and said with a smile, "Hey, Yiran. Thank you so much for delivering my order again.""Don't mention it. It's my job," Ling Yiran said lightly and held her order out to her.Instead of taking it, Guan Lili suddenly took her to the general room and said to all her colleagues there, "Here, everyone. This is the person involved in the case I just told you about. She's also our former colleague, Ling Yiran."Suddenly, all eyes were on Ling Yiran.A bad feeling suddenly rose in Ling Yiran
"Help me? Those two words coming out of your mouth make me sick!" said Ling Yiran.The people around them were professional lawyers, not idiots. How could they not sense something when they heard this? Immediately, the way they looked at Guan Lili changed. It was certain that Guan Lili's reputation was ruined.Guan Lili had wanted to embarrass Ling Yiran today so that she could vent her mortified feelings after meeting Ling Yiran during her medical examination at the hospital.Who would have thought that the person being embarrassed now was herself?At once, without thinking, she picked up a cup of tea in front of her and threw it at Ling Yiran.Ling Yiran managed to avoid getting splashed on her face as she already had her defenses up and stepped back in time, but the upper half of her clothes was not spared.As the weather was hot, Ling Yiran wore nothing more than a white shirt. It was now wet from the tea and her undergarment beneath was visible.Guan Lili's colleagues did n
Her hands, which had fallen to her sides, were clenched into fists. It was some kind of oppressive tolerance.The boss had checked her information previously and knew that she was imprisoned for the death of Hao Meiyu after a car accident.However, he did not go through the details of the case. Now, listening to what others were saying, she... Pleaded not guilty at the trial, saying she was wrong.Was she really wronged? Hao Meiyu's death had nothing to do with her?The colleague simply explained the incident without taking any sides, but how could someone who was the boss of the firm not understand the fishy business in it? Immediately, the way he looked at Guan Lili grew a little colder. Then, he turned to look at Ling Yiran."Yiran, I'm sorry this happened to you. How about this? The firm will compensate you for any of your losses. You can list it out later," said the boss.Ling Yiran said lightly, "No thanks, I still have work!"Taking a deep breath, she looked at Gu Lichen,
