Ling Yiran took the check straightforwardly and left the store with Qin Lianyi right after."Yiran, don't you think it's a little weird?" As soon as they walked out of the store, Qin Lianyi said, "Xiao Zinian actually took out 4.8 million yuan and gave it to you without hesitation. Hao Yimeng was present too! Isn't he afraid of Hao Yimeng misunderstanding it?""It is quite strange," Ling Yiran said."Could it be that Xiao Ziqi still likes you?" Qin Lianyi guessed."No, he is afraid. It seems that he is afraid that I will get mad at Xiao Ziyi and then do harm to the Xiao family," Ling Yiran voiced her intuitive speculations.Hearing this, Qin Lianyi thought it was a bit ridiculous. "Isn't he thinking too much into it?""Who knows?" Ling Yiran shrugged and raised her hand to look at the check she was holding."What are you going to do with this check? Are you going to tear it up?" she asked. She knew her friend very well. With her personality, she would never use this money."Why
"Why should I apologize?" Xiao Ziyi said angrily.At this moment, people came over one after another. One of them recognized Hao Yimeng. After all, she was a popular star. Although she was wearing sunglasses and a hat that covered most of her face, she was still spotted out."It's Hao Yimeng. Is that her fiancé next to her?""What are they doing here?""What's wrong with the escalator? Did something happen just now?"Voices of discussion sounded around them. Qin Lianyi helped Ling Yiran walk down the escalator. Seeing this, Xiao Ziqi hurriedly caught up with them.Hao Yimeng's eyes flashed with surprise. She hadn't expected Xiao Ziqi to leave her behind and run after Ling Yiran! And the people around her began to spread the gossip."Hao Yimeng's fiancé went to chase after another woman.""Oh my god, is this a bloody love triangle?"Hao Yimeng's face was full of embarrassment. She covered her face with her hands and tried her best to avoid the cameras on the phones from the cro
"Jin." She said, "I'm in the hospital and don't know when I'll be leaving. I'll call him and tell him not to wait for me and eat first."Ling Yiran found the name 'Jin' in her contact list and called it.After a while, the call connected and Yi Jinli's slightly cold voice came from the other end of the line. "Sis.""I have something to do. I'm afraid that I will be back late today. You... you can prepare dinner for yourself," Ling Yiran said."What do you mean you have something to do'? Just tell him that you're in the hospital right now," Qin Lianyi interrupted."Sis, are you in the hospital right now?" There seemed to be a slight change in Yi Jinli's tone."Well, I took a fall, and now I am waiting for an X-ray scan in the hospital," Ling Yiran replied."Which hospital? I'm coming now," Yi Jinli said."You don't have to come over. Lianyi is here with me. Just wait for me at home," she said in a hurry.The other end of the phone was silent. After a while, his cold voice sound
It was only because of the hospital director's orders that he paid more attention to Ling Yiran.At this moment, another figure walked into the consulting room, came to Ling Yiran's side, and said, "Sis.""You're here," Ling Yiran said. He had arrived faster than she had expected."Yes, there was a traffic jam on the way, so I got here late," Yi Jinli replied."Doctor, how is it? Is my friend all right? She was knocked down several steps by someone on the escalator," Qin Lianyi, who was next to her, asked nervously."The injury is not too serious, but there are some slight fractures around her ankle. It will heal after resting for one or two weeks, but..." Dr. Zhang hesitated."But what?" Qin Lianyi continued to ask."But, Miss Ling, have you often been injured in the past few years?" Dr. Zhang asked.Ling Yiran was stunned. For a moment, she didn't know how to answer."I don't mean anything else. I just want to say that from your X-ray results, I can see that you seem to have
When she said the name 'Yi Jinli', his body unnoticeably stiffened."Do you hate Yi Jinli?" he murmured.She sighed and said, "Everyone in Shen City knows him. When I had the car accident, Hao Meiyu was Yi Jinli's fiancée. So, of course, I was not going to get out of it easily. How many people want to curry favor with him? It's the same number as the people who want to kick me when I'm down."After a pause, she said with a look of self-mockery, "Sometimes I even think that if it had not been Hao Meiyu who I hit in the accident, I could have won the lawsuit. Would I have been spared from being in jail for three years and experienced all those things?"She was not angry or sad, but the faint self-mockery she gave made him feel very guilty.Perhaps half of her pain was because of him.He squatted in front of her, staring at her through his thick bangs. "If I had known that you would suffer so much, I would have protected you three years ago."This sentence had nothing to do with th
"Sister is very light," Yi Jinli said. "What I said is true. Although Ling Yiran is more than 160cm tall, now that I'm carrying her, I would estimate that her weight is less than 45kg. Looks like I'll have to build her up more in the future."Her face was pressed against his back and she could feel a sense of warmth. "How long has it been since I was carried by someone else like this? In my memory, when I was a child, Mom was the only one who ever did this for me."It’s just that my memories of those times are too vague.""Jin, you're so nice," she murmured."Is Sister going to say that I'm a nice person again?" he asked."I want to say that you're a good younger brother. I'm very lucky to have a younger brother like you," she replied."Younger brother..." His eyes flashed imperceptibly."Back when I was playing this game, didn't I stay by her side as her younger brother? She allowed me to call her Sister."But now it seems as if I don't want her to see me as a younger brother.
In the rental apartment, Yi Jinli carefully placed Ling Yiran in the chair. He then went to reheat the dishes that had gone cold.Qin Lianyi noticed Yi Jinli bustling about, which changed her opinion of him. "I used to think it was not good for Yiran to live with a stranger like this but it's obvious that he treats her well."If there's someone taking care of my good friend like this, I'll be able to feel relieved as well."Qin Lianyi returned home while Yi Jinli and Ling Yiran enjoyed a simple dinner. After the meal, Ling Yiran wanted to tidy up but Yi Jinli said, "Leave the tidying up to me. Sister, please don't move too much."At that moment, Ling Yiran had become an idle observer.When Yi Jinli was done tidying up, he asked Ling Yiran, "Sister, do you need to go to the bathroom?""Huh?" She was momentarily dazed and then her face flushed red."Yes or no?" he asked as if it was an extremely normal question.Her expression was awkward but she ultimately said "yes" quietly.T
"But if I'm dismissed with no income, then the rent as well as the money for food and living...""You still have me!" he exclaimed. "I'll earn money to take care of you, so you don't have to worry about it much."Ling Yiran stared dazedly at the man before her. "Even though I know he only does some odd jobs every day and can't make much money at all, the things he's saying now are giving me an unprecedented sense of security."My life is no longer lonely and helpless with no support. I can rely on Jin.""Make the call." He brought the phone before her.She pursed her lips and called the group leader in charge of the sanitary workers at the Sanitation Service Center.She had thought that the group leader would deliberately make it difficult for her to apply for a long period of leave, but to her surprise, when she asked for one week's leave, the group leader hastened to agree. He had even said that if one week was not enough, she could ask for two. Furthermore, she would still be
