"Pah!"A crisp slapping sound rang out.Due to how abrupt it was, Ling Yiran had no time to react. It was not until she felt a burning sensation on her face that she realized what had happened."You must be that vamp!" the other party said hatefully. "I hadn't been expecting you to ask Lichen to bring you to a place like this for dinner. You're just a third-rate celebrity. Do you really think you'll be able to secure the position of being his girlfriend? Let me tell you, it won't be long before you're dumped by him!"Ling Yiran looked up. Surprisingly, she recognized who the person who had slapped her was!Zhong Rongrong had originally been a second-tier actress who often played some supporting roles. However, after getting together with Gu Lichen, she had become famous with his support.Some had previously wondered if Zhong Rongrong would be Gu Lichen's last girlfriend. After all, Zhong Rongrong had been the one to stand by Gu Lichen's side the longest.However, unexpectedly, Z
It was just this time, the one who was being beaten and the one carrying out the beating had been reversed.Zhong Rongrong covered her face with her hands and her expression was one of disbelief. "You... you hit me?""Since you can hit me, why can't I hit you back?" Ling Yiran retorted. Even if she had to take responsibility, Zhong Rongrong wouldn't end up any better."Who do you think you are? You're just a third-rate celebrity. What right do you have to hit me?" Zhong Rongrong was going crazy with anger.Although Ling Yiran was not the "celebrity" as she was called by the other party——"What about you? You're just a small-time celebrity yourself, and if it weren't for Gu Lichen, do you think you'd be what you are today? You ran over here in such a fluster today only because you broke up with Gu Lichen and you're afraid that you'll lose everything. Everything you have was built on this man's willingness to help you. Do you really think that you're a more noble person than me?"L
Back then, the gossip news had gone all-in when talking about how much Gu Lichen doted on Zhong Rongrong. If Zhong Rongrong had wanted to become the leading actress in a film, then she would get the role. If Zhong Rongrong hadn't liked the director for a film she was starring in, then he would replace the director. If Zhong Rongrong wanted her birthday banquet to be held at the most luxurious hotel in Shen City, he would reserve the entire hotel...With such attention and care from him, it was no wonder that everyone thought that Zhong Rongrong would marry into his powerful family.However, who would have thought that it would turn out like this in the blink of an eye?Even though Zhong Rongrong was begging him like this, there was no sign of pity on his face. No, it could be said that there was no emotion in his eyes at all.Whether it was towards Zhong Rongrong or her!Although it seemed that he was trying to help by teaching Zhong Rongrong a lesson, the way he looked at her was
"If it was her, she wouldn't have cried."He had suddenly blurted out such a sentence, and she didn't know how to react for a second.When her fear reached a certain level, she couldn't help but shout, "Who is it? Who is that woman?! Gu Lichen, the only person you love is 'her', right? But you'll never be able to get 'her'. If you don't care about other people's feelings, then sooner or later, 'she' will also stop caring about your feelings!"Gu Lichen suddenly stopped and turned around. He stared at Zhong Rongrong with his sharp eyes. At that moment, there was a bone-chilling frost in his usually cold eyes. He only gave her a glance before turning to leave.Zhong Rongrong suddenly fell to the ground.Gu Lichen's gaze earlier made it seem as though he wanted to kill her.She knew that she was completely doomed!Ling Yiran walked out of the restaurant. After feeling the cold wind on her skin, the burning sensation on her cheek eased up a little.Tonight had just been a farce.S
Second Aunt's words were nothing more than her trying to justify Second Uncle and the others' actions and clear their names.However, no matter what they had been saying at that moment, Ling Yiran acted as if she hadn't heard them at all. She only stared at her grandmother lying on the hospital bed.She only cared about her grandma.Suddenly, her grandma's mouth seemed to move as if she was stuttering something while in a coma.When Ling Yiran put her head close to her grandma's lips, her body suddenly froze. The words that came out of her mouth were the names of her uncle, second uncle, and third aunt.Ling Yiran silently straightened her body and walked out of the ward. Uncle and Second Uncle followed her and wanted to make her promise to drop the case.Ling Yiran said coldly, "Why would I drop the case? Since you don't think of me as your family, why should I treat you like mine?""You ungrateful swine, how can you let your grandma down?" Her aunt said gruffly."Whether or n
Ling Yiran could only grasp at this last straw and make a call to this number.The ringing tone kept on playing as she waited for the other side to answer, but no one did.Ling Yiran was unwilling to give up and called him again a second time, and a third...Meanwhile, several senior executives were in President Yi's office at that moment. They were quiet and their eyes were fixed on a cheap, old cell phone.All the high-level managers in the company knew that the President had been carrying two phones with him recently. One was the cell phone he usually used, and the other one was this cheap, old-fashioned phone.As for the origin of this phone, except for the President, only Secretary Gao knew about it. However, every time they asked him about it out of curiosity, Secretary Gao would smile and refuse to say anything.Therefore, these high-level executives had done a lot of speculation about this phone in private. In the past, when the phone rang, President Yi had always picked
She wasn't sure if she would really be able to meet Yi Jinli if she went to the office building of the Yi group. But besides there, she didn't know where else she could find him.Thinking about it, she knew very little about him. She didn't even know where he lived!However, when Ling Yiran arrived at the Yi Group in the afternoon, she discovered that she could not even walk through the entrance, let alone seeing Yi Jinli. She was immediately stopped by the security guards.When she said that she wanted to see Yi Jinli, she received a mocking look from the others."If President Yi were to meet everyone who just randomly shows up and asks for him, he wouldn't even have time to sleep! Every day, there are so many people like you who come here to visit him.""When the others want to see President Yi, they will at least dress up. With your outfit, who do you think will believe you when you say that you know President Yi?"Ling Yiran lowered her head to look at the clothes she was wea
Gao Congming gently closed the door after Ling Yiran walked in.He had brought Ling Yiran along not because of her own words, but because his own boss still cared about her.Maybe Young Master Yi just wanted Ling Yiran to give in. However, Ling Yiran looked as if something was bothering her, which could be a perfect stepping stone for Young Master Yi.Thinking of this, Gao Congming couldn't help but feel happy.At that moment, in the secretary's office, a secretary came over and asked Gao Congming curiously, "Secretary Gao, who is the woman that went into the president's office just now?"After all, judging from the woman's outfit, she didn't seem to be a person who could normally enter the president's office.However, Gao Congming said simply, "Don't ask. You will know when the time comes."And before that time came, he was afraid that someone might gossip about it and violate the taboo of Young Master Yi.In the office, Ling Yiran was a little uneasy as she stood there. She l
