Yi Jinli pulled Ling Yiran into the car and ordered, “Get us to Royal Court.”
“Okay.” Gao Congming acknowledged as he carefully observed the expression of the two people sitting behind via the rearview mirror.
Ling Yiran’s head was lowered, thus he could not see her expression. However, Yi Jinli’s mood seemed to be less moody compared to before he entered Ling Yiran’s place. ‘Hmm, I guess it’s considered a good thing,’ Gao Congming thought to himself.
The Royal Court Restaurant was Shen City’s famous restaurant. It mainly served traditional palace court dishes, so prices here were exorbitant as well. The diners here solely comprised of the rich and famous. Regular people would not be able to afford a meal here.
When the car came to a halt at the entrance of the Royal Court, Yi Jinli naturally held Ling Yiran’s hand once they got out of the car.
She wanted to pull her hands out of his grip, but his hold on her was firm.
“Sis, don’t move. Otherwise, I can’t guarantee what method I’ll use to bring you in,” Yi Jinli casually said.
Ling Yiran was dumbfounded and stopped struggling.
He led her into the restaurant. The staff in the restaurant were very respectful and courteous toward Yi Jinli, but they would throw a few side-eyes and weird glances at Ling Yiran.
Ling Yiran knew very well that her cheap clothes were a world of difference compared to the restaurant’s classy interior.
“Young Master Yi, you’re here.” The restaurant manager greeted enthusiastically. “The same private room?”
“Yes,” Yi Jinli replied.
Before the manager could lead the way, Ling Yiran’s vision caught sight of someone. She was stunned for a moment.
At that moment, she did not notice Yi Jinli who was standing next to Ling Yiran. All her attention was focused on Ling Yiran. She was urgently hoping that someone would chase Ling Yiran out!
After all, Ling Yiran was witnessing what a deplorable state Zhao Mantian was in right now. If Ling Yiran let the word out about this...
That thought made Zhao Mantian loathe Ling Yiran further, feeling that Ling Yiran was a bad omen for her.
After bumping into Ling Yiran at the mall once, her car had unknowingly gotten smashed. After that, she had set Ling Yiran up to appear at the reunion party. Then, some things happened to her family. Their loan application got rejected by the bank, so their potential business collaborators decided to go back on their words and refused to work with them. Her family did not know who they had offended.
Subsequently, to ensure the survival of her family business, she now had to lower herself and gain favors with such a fatty. If drastic measures were needed, she would need to sell herself out!
She found it so nauseating each time she had to plaster a smile on to please this fatty!
