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
Ling Yiran was now wearing those clothes! This made Hua Lifang feel a little uncomfortable."I was just going to look for a change of clothes for you, but you've already changed," Hua Lifang said wearily, then she took Gu Lichen's arm lovingly before continuing, "Let me introduce you, Lichen. This is...""It's all right, we know each other," said Gu Lichen.Hua Lifang thought Gu Lichen only knew Yi Jinli, but he knew Ling Yiran too.Suddenly, a wave of panic struck Hua Lifang. Then, she comforted herself. 'It's all right, Yiran doesn't even remember what happened that year!'Since Gu Lichen found her, it meant that Yiran did not tell Gu Lichen anything.As long as she could play the role of the person who saved Lichen as a child, then it was hard to say what she might get.Ling Yiran's eyes fell on Hua Lifang's arm that was on Gu Lichen's arm. She could not help frowning a little. The intimacy was a bit too much as her cousin had a husband!However... She had not seen her cousi
Hua Lifang looked at Gu Lichen who was in a daze, and a flash of jealousy flashed in her eyes. 'Lichen and Ling Yiran know each other, and Lichen seems to be suppressing something right now.'Could it be that Lichen and Ling Yiran... No, it can't be!'Hua Lifang quickly comforted herself. ‘He's the crown prince of the entertainment industry. How could he be interested in a woman who has been to prison?'Ling Yiran got a stroke of luck for Yi Jinli to fall for her!'Besides, Lichen now thinks I’m the one who saved him as a child! Therefore, I'm the most important person in Lichen's heart!'I just have to take advantage of this opportunity and never let Lichen find out the truth!'"Yiran is so lucky to date Yi Jinli. Yiran even came to the hospital in a wedding dress today. Are they getting married..." Hua Lifang's voice paused as she spoke because Gu Lichen was not listening to her at all. His eyes were just staring at the empty space.'What’s he looking at?' Hua Lifang only felt
