"Revealing?" Qin Lianyi looked at her dress. It was an off-shoulder dress with the shoulders exposed and the skirt was short at the front while long at the back. The short part ended at the knees while the long part ended at the ankles.Due to how well the bust of the dress was positioned, it lifted her cup a notch, and at the same time, the waistline was positioned just right.In short, it gave the wearer the appearance of having larger breasts and a smaller waist.These were the effects women dreamt of!Qin Lianyi raised her chest with her hands and said to Bai Tingxin, "Don't you think I look sexy dressed like this? My figure looks a lot better."Bai Tingxin was suddenly speechless. Was she… Still a woman? She was talking about looking ‘sexy’ in his presence! Did she not see him as a man at all?Even if they were now boyfriend and girlfriend, in her heart, she did not see him as her boyfriend at all!He was probably nothing more than a vengeful debt collector to her!"If you
Along the way, she was clenching the phone in her hands while her eyes reddened.'Grandma had been discharged from the hospital and went home to recuperate. I thought Grandma was getting better, but... How did this happen?'The call earlier was from a nurse at the hospital. The nurse was asked by her grandmother to call her and tell her that she was now in the hospital. She was almost dying and would even slip into a coma from time to time. Her grandmother’s last wish was to see her before she died!According to the nurse, her grandmother had been hospitalized for three days, but First Uncle, Second Uncle, and Third Aunt did not call to inform her!If the nurse had not called her today, would she not have been able to see her grandmother for the last time?'No, no. This won't be the last time I see Grandma,' she kept saying to herself in her heart, but her hands were shaking more and more as she held the phone.Suddenly, a large hand covered her trembling hands as a voice rang in
In the end, Grandma did not finish her last words. Her eyes and her mouth were still open, but she was no longer breathing.Ling Yiran stared blankly as tears fell from her eyes.The doctors and nurses beside them determined the time of her grandmother's death and said to Ling Yiran, "Our condolences, Miss Ling."'Condolences…' The only family who loved her was gone!Ling Yiran suddenly let out a yell and laid beside her grandmother's still-warm body while crying.Her body... Was still warm, but she was not breathing nor did she have a heartbeat. She could no longer hear Grandma calling her Yiran and she could not see her smiling at her anymore...Ling Yiran cried while Yi Jinli stood by in silence.He knew that she had too many tears to let out right now. Her grandmother was a spiritual support to her. She was her protector after the loss of her mother.However, she would never see her again.He understood the pain of losing a loved one. When his father was frozen to death in
It was only two hours after her grandmother's death that Ling Yiran's first uncle, second uncle, and third aunt arrived at the hospital one after another at the hospital's notice.As for Ling Yiran's grandfather, Old Man Lu, he did not come to the hospital on the pretext of poor health. He feared that he would be too sad and thus worsen his health after seeing the body.Ling Yiran did not know how her grandmother would feel about her grandfather's comments.When First Uncle, Second Uncle, and Third Aunt saw Ling Yiran, their first reaction was that Ling Yiran had to pay for her grandmother's grave and funeral on her mother's behalf. She could not get away from it! Ling Yiran could not help getting angry. Her grandmother had just passed away, but First Uncle, Second Uncle, and Third Aunt only cared about money!"Pay?" asked Yi Jinli, who had been silent all along.Only then did First Uncle and Second Uncle realized there was another person in the room. The haste and the fact that
First Uncle said through gritted teeth, "Boy, you put us in detention for so long. Why don't you apologize and pay us now? Otherwise, you're going to suffer.""Not many people dare to make me apologize," Yi Jinli said lazily.Ling Yiran was confused. 'What's going on? First Uncle and Second Uncle were still afraid of Jin at first, but after what Third Aunt said, they’ve changed their attitude completely.'Could it be that Third Aunt's daughter, Sis Lifang, has found a backup?'However, she remembered that Sis Lifang ran a small smithy with her husband, earning only a modest income about the same as most of the town's residents. What kind of backup could she have?"All right, you're not apologizing, are you? Even if you get down on your knees and apologize later, it won't be over that easily!" First Uncle said fiercely.As if watching a play, Third Aunt said leisurely, "Yiran, as your aunt, I must warn you to ask your boyfriend to apologize to your First Uncle and Second Uncle and
"Forget it, Jin. Grandma just passed away, so I don't want to bother her," said Ling Yiran.'After all, Third Aunt is Grandma's daughter!'No matter how angry she was with Third Aunt, she did not want to bother her grandmother at such a time.She hoped she could at least let Grandma leave in peace."Sure," Yi Jinli replied softly and let go of Third Aunt's hand.Third Aunt stumbled and retreated a few steps before she regained her footing.With a pale face, Third Aunt clutched her still-aching wrist and glared at Ling Yiran. However, she dared not march forward like before."You skank, when Lifang comes, you'll..."Before she could finish, another voice immediately said, "What do you need, Mom?"Ling Yiran looked up to see her cousin, Hua Lifang, walking in.Hua Lifang was wearing Chanel's latest collection and her bag was also a classic Chanel bag. She had on delicate makeup and her hair was not tied up as casually as before. Instead, she had it curled and let it down.She
Yi Jinli looked at Gu Lichen and Hua Lifang, his eyes glistening a little. Then, with a slight smile on his lips, he put a hand over Ling Yiran's shoulder and said to Gu Lichen, "I didn't expect to see you here, Lichen."Gu Lichen turned his gaze to Yi Jinli. "I haven't seen you in days."Third Aunt, who was about to complain to her daughter about her grievances, was astounded by this. Then, she asked dumbfoundedly, "Do you know each other?" With that, Gu Lichen looked at Yi Jinli thoughtfully. "Don't they know who you are?"Yi Jinli answered, "I don't think so. I'm not as high-profile as you are, but I'm kind of curious. Why are you here and..." He glanced at Hua Lifang who was standing next to Gu Lichen. "With this woman? When they said this woman had a powerful man as a backup, they probably meant you." Gu Lichen had a mixed expression as he glanced back at Ling Yiran who was in a wedding dress.He began to feel a pang in his heart again as if it was telling him that everyth
She had been to Shen City with Gu Lichen these days, so of course, she understood more about what the name Yi Jinli meant!Yi Jinli was even... Her cousin's boyfriend!'Hasn't Ling Yiran been to prison? How did she find a boyfriend like that?'Not just Yi Jinli, but... Hua Lifang glanced at Gu Lichen who was next to her. She managed to calm herself and force out a smile. "You're Mr. Yi! Yiran, why didn't you tell us that your boyfriend’s Mr. Yi Jinli when you brought him back the last time? Anybody would think we were strangers."Third Aunt immediately said with a smile, "Hey, Yiran, you're lucky to have Mr. Yi as your boyfriend. Your grandmother would rest in peace if she knew. Big Brother, Second Brother, why are you still standing there? Hurry and apologize to Yiran! What you did last time was way out of line!"Third Aunt's attitude took a completely new turn.First Uncle and Second Uncle looked at each other. They no longer seemed as arrogant as before. They immediately smile
