The trial would begin in a few days. Ling Yiran felt powerless as she thought of this.When she came back to her senses, she found that the car had stopped at a styling shop Yi Jinli had taken her to before.Ling Yiran was shocked, and she asked the driver, "Why are we here?"The driver simply said, "Mr. Yi is waiting inside."Ling Yiran said nothing and got out of the car.As soon as she entered the shop, the shop manager greeted her and said enthusiastically, "You must be Miss Ling. Please follow me."Ling Yiran followed the shop manager to a room on the second floor where Yi Jinli was sitting on a couch with a light purple gown hanging on a hanger next to him.It was a beautiful gown with deep purple and white crystals inlaid, making it look elegant and classic."Accompany me to a banquet tonight. Try on the gown," said Yi Jinli."A banquet?" Ling Yiran was stunned."It's just an ordinary banquet. There's no need to be too nervous," said Yi Jinli.Ling Yiran had accompani
"It doesn't matter whether I like it," she said."Why not? If you don't like it, we can get another one," he spoke gently as if she was a princess he cherished.'It's as if I matter a lot to him!'Ling Yiran fell into a trance. He was always giving her the misconception that they never broke up."Are you willing to stop if I don't like this brother and sister game?" The words escaped her mouth suddenly. His eyes darkened little by little. However, a faint smile appeared at the corner of his lips. "Don't even think about it! Never!"He wanted her to stay with him forever and to be his sister!He could give her anything. He could get her anything she wanted, except… letting her go and…. loving her!…Although Yi Jinli said it was just an ordinary banquet, it was a grand banquet to Ling Yiran.Many of Shen City's socialites and public figures were there. Some of them were people Ling Yiran used to see only from the news.When Ling Yiran walked into the banquet holding Yi Jinli
She eventually learned from her eldest brother that Ling Yiran had Yi Jinli as her backup, and she suffered all these because of Yi Jinli.Fearing that Yi Jinli would continue to take revenge on her, her family sent her abroad.Even when she was abroad, she still kept her eye on Ling Yiran.She learned that Ling Yiran had moved out of Yi Residence and was currently living in a small rental house. She was also only working as a mere paralegal in a law firm. As such, she concluded that Yi Jinli must have dumped Ling Yiran and that was why she returned at once.She planned to get back at Ling Yiran a few days later and make her crippled as well so that she could get rid of the hatred in her chest. However, she did not expect to see Ling Yiran at the banquet first."Who are you with this time? You probably went all out to get in here because you want to approach Yi Jinli. Just look at you! Yi Jinli was momentarily interested in you. Now, without Yi Jinli, you're nothing. Do people lik
'Now that I've made this decision, there's nothing to regret!'Besides, my marriage to Yimeng would be the best for the Xiao family!'"Alright, let's go over there and say hello to President Wang and the rest," said Xiao Ziqi, trying to stop the quarrel.However, Xiao Ziyi did not want to let it go. "Brother, what do you mean? Can you stand Ling Yiran insulting the Hao family? Can't you stand up for Sis Yimeng?""Have you forgotten your lesson?" Xiao Ziqi snapped."That's because she had Yi Jinli back then, but now she has broken up with him. Speaking of which, she's just a worn wh*re now," Xiao Ziyi spoke loudly, wanting everyone around them to hear her.Moments later, everyone had turned to look at the scene. There were even a few sympathetic and curious looks, but Xiao Ziyi did not think much of it. She just thought the crowd was sympathizing with Ling Yiran.Xiao Ziyi became more enthusiastic as she spoke, "Yi Jinli's weird too. He was interested in a woman you dumped. Amazi
Xiao Ziqi panicked and immediately said, "Young Master Yi, it's just a misunderstanding. Ziyi is young and immature, so please forgive her." Then, he shouted at Xiao Ziyi who was still on the ground looking stunned, "Apologize!"Xiao Ziyi felt so aggrieved! 'I got slapped, yet I still have to apologize!'But I have to admit defeat because I'm facing Yi Jinli. After all, the Xiao family is nothing compared to Yi Jinli!'I got the news that Ling Yiran has moved out of Yi Residence and is living in a small rental house, so Yi Jinli must have dumped her. Why is... Yi Jinli defending Ling Yiran?'Was it… Yi Jinli who brought Ling Yiran to the banquet today?'Xiao Ziyi was full of doubts, but no one gave her the answers.She got up awkwardly and was about to apologize when Ling Yiran said, "No thanks. I don't need her apology."Xiao Ziyi was stunned. 'What does that mean? I was about to apologize, but she...'"That's true. Sis doesn't need the apology," said Yi Jinli.'Sis?' Xiao Zi
However, before she left, Hao Yimeng could not help turning around to look at Ling Yiran and Yi Jinli again.'Does Ling Yiran still have Yi Jinli as her backer? Is it true that they broke up?'If Yi Jinli was defending Ling Yiran, it would be difficult to lay a hand on Ling Yiran.Hao Yimeng was resentful that she was forced to quit the entertainment industry because of Ling Yiran.However, in front of Ling Yiran, she had to be nice and could not lash out. Hao Yimeng's heart was full of hatred as she thought of this.'If I had known… I should’ve gone hard on Ling Yiran and let her die in jail back then!'"Brother, are we going to be alright?" Xiao Ziyi looked like she had just survived a disaster. It was good enough for her that she would not have to apologize and pay any money. However, Xiao Ziqi frowned. In his opinion, Yi Jinli was not a soft-hearted man. He was a harsh person to those who offended him.'Ziyi insulted Ling Yiran earlier, but Yi Jinli merely slapped and crit
Hua Lifang would accompany Gu Lichen to crowded events, just as if she was his girlfriend. No wonder many people on the internet believed Hua Lifang was Gu Lichen's girlfriend even though Gu Lichen had never publicly announced that the two were a couple.After all, Gu Lichen had been driving Hua Lifang around, giving her resources to work on movies and TV dramas, and taking her to various events as if they were dating.Ling Yiran knew all this because of the advanced internet.Every gossip news about Gu Lichen would easily be the most searched topic. Sometimes, Ling Yiran could not ignore reading his news even if she wanted to.Hua Lifang was also criticized on the internet for being plain-looking, ordinary, uneducated, and having been divorced. She was arguably Gu Lichen's worst girlfriend of all time!Some people even said that something must have blurred Gu Lichen's eyes to choose such a woman.The Gu family had never publicly expressed their attitude toward Hua Lifang.Howev
Light came back into Ling Yiran's eyes. However, when her eyes got used to the light, she realized Gu Lichen and Hua Lifang had walked up to her."Yiran, why are you here? You're... here with Mr. Yi?" Hua Lifang was also full of doubts. 'Didn't she break up with Yi Jinli? Why are they together again? What the hell is going on?'She had been worried that Ling Yiran would suddenly come and explain everything to Lichen, so she did everything she could to discredit Ling Yiran in front of Lichen and reinforced the impression that she was the girl who saved his life as a child.However, Ling Yiran never came looking for Lichen. Just as she was breathing a sigh of relief, she met Yiran here!"What's the matter? Can't she be here with me?" Instead of Ling Yiran, the speaker was Yi Jinli."Of course not." Hua Lifang forced a smile.Gu Lichen asked as he looked at Yi Jinli, "Why are you with her?"He asked without even the faintest disguise!"I told you. You… can't touch her." Yi Jinli g
