"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
"Yes, there won't be any more misunderstandings like that. It's great that he has found the one he’s looking for," Ling Yiran said.Then the man would not cry like that anymore! The memory of Gu Lichen crying in front of her that night somehow flashed in her mind.Somehow, there was a tightness in her chest and a dull ache in her head.Ling Yiran stopped, raised her hand, and pressed it against one side of her forehead."What's the matter?" Yi Jinli asked hastily."Nothing, just... A sudden headache," she replied.Looking at her slightly pale face, he said with a frown, "You don't look very well. Why don't we find a lodge nearby for you to rest awhile?"There was not even a real hotel nearby, only a few lodges."It's all right," said Ling Yiran. The headache was only instantaneous, and the pain subsided as she spoke. "The pain is gone now. I want to go back and spend more time with Grandma."After a pause, she added, "Jin, I'm going to stay here for three days. I'll return to
Someone saw Ling Yiran coming in and immediately said, "Hey, I used to think that Yiran was the most promising person in your family. Who would have thought that the most promising one as a child is now the most down and out, and Lifang is the most promising person in the Lu family?"The person was trying to flatter Hua Lifang by belittling Ling Yiran, which was something Hua Lifang liked to hear. After all, since they were young, they were always compared to each other because they looked alike and were so close in age.In the past, Ling Yiran was the type of student who excelled in school and even got into a prestigious university, so Hua Lifang was naturally embarrassed when compared to her.Therefore, Hua Lifang would love to be able to hold her head high in front of Ling Yiran, but that was before knowing that Ling Yiran's boyfriend was Yi Jinli.Now that she knew Yi Jinli's true identity, Hua Lifang only thought the relative who said that deserved a beating! She immediately l
Ling Yiran stared blankly at Yi Jinli. After a while, she said, "If so, I guess I’ve gone through so many things probably… Just to meet you and fall in love with you too. If I hadn't gone through all these ups and downs, maybe I wouldn't have anything to do with you at all."Had it not been for her imprisonment, she might have married Xiao Ziqi and remained a lawyer. However, she might still be unable to blend in with the Xiao family after marriage.Of course, it was also possible that she did not marry Xiao Ziqi because of his parents' objections.In any case, she would not have met Yi Jinli that night while in such a mess and neither would she have brought him home.She and he would eventually miss each other like two parallel lines.Yi Jinli's eyelashes quivered a little. Then, he gently hugged Ling Yiran, buried his face deep in her neck, and sniffed the scent of her body. "Yes, you... Must have gone through all that to meet me."However, she did not know that he had caused h
