The Domineering Boss is Addicted to the Convict novel Chapter 1669

"Okay, go ahead," he said as he put the documents on the coffee table in front of him.

"Well... Jin Yaochang, the man who claimed that my mentor and I committed fraud in his case and wrongfully sent him to prison, has recently sued us for this matter. The procuratorate may conduct an investigation on me and my mentor regarding that lawsuit. When the time comes, maybe... Maybe there’ll be some negative comments that’ll affect Yi Group..."

"What's the matter? Are you afraid I might misunderstand something?" Yi Jinli pulled Ling Yiran into his arms. "I know you respect your mentor a lot. Your mentor helped you when you were in L City, and you're on good terms with your mentor's wife. If random slander from nobodies can affect Yi Group, then the Yi family shouldn’t stay in Shen City any longer."

Ling Yiran felt reassured when Yi Jinli said that.

She was not afraid of the trouble outside. She was only scared that there would be another problem between them.

"I'll take care of everything. You just need to stay by my side," he said.

Ling Yiran felt her heart melt.

"Also..." She hesitated and bit her lip slightly before saying, "Xiao Ziqi saved me when the flowerpot fell today."

Perhaps the bodyguards or drivers had already reported the incident to him, but Ling Yiran felt compelled to bring it up no matter what.

It was for nothing but peace of mind.

She knew he was suspicious and sensitive, so all she could do was try to make him feel assured and be honest with him.

"I know," he said and handed her the documents he had put on the coffee table earlier. "Would you like to read this? Xiao Ziqi's life hasn't been easy these years."

He stared at her with his thin lips pressed together. Moments later, he asked instead of answering, "You won’t, right?"

Ling Yiran replied, "No, I won't. Jin, I won't feel sorry for Xiao Ziqi, and there's no need to feel sorry for him. I only have feelings for people I care about. I don't want to waste any feelings on people I don't care about, even if it's only sympathy."

"Even if he's your ex-boyfriend? He saved you this time. Won't you care about him and feel sorry for him?"

"He's my ex-boyfriend, but he was also the one who hurt me. He gave me up for the Xiao family and coldly looked on when Hao Yimeng tortured me. How can I possibly care about him and feel sorry for him?" said Ling Yiran.

Yi Jinli felt a pang in his heart as if a chill had enveloped his body.
