Was the man behind Ling Luoyin Gu Lichen?
"All right, I'll send you the list of medicine I bought as well as a copy of the certificate for lost wages. Please pay by then." As she finished, she said to Gu Lichen, "Thank you for today, Mr. Gu. I need to go now."
With that, Ling Yiran left the lounge, leaving Gu Lichen and Ling Luoyin alone.
Gu Lichen stared at Ling Luoyin coldly, frightening her.
Ling Luoyin managed to squeeze out a smile. "Lichen, why are you looking at me like that? By the way... You and my sister... Well, do you know each other?"
"Why, do you want to pry into this as well?" Gu Lichen asked without a reply.
"I... I'm just curious. I've never heard my sister mention it," she said.
"Right, your sister lives in a shabby and small rental house. She’s sweeping the road as her job. Now, as an extra, she had to keep kneeling and groveling to you, her sister, for a mere 330 dollars. Why would she mention it to you?" There was a rare chill in Gu Lichen's voice.
For Ling Luoyin, at least, it was the first time he had spoken to her in such a cold voice.
Ling Luoyin unconsciously shivered a little. "Lichen... My sister and I have some misunderstanding..."
"Do you feel that you have become successful and want to show off to your sister? You want her to know how much power you have now by getting her to kneel and grovel and do whatever you want when you know that she can't even fight back?"
Gu Lichen seemed to speak casually, but Ling Luoyin listened in horror.
"Come to think of it, I've given you a lot of things during this time too. Some other people have also secretly given you a lot in order to please you. Simply pick out anything you have on you, and your sister probably won't be able to earn enough for it even after several years. How about you? Have you not thought about helping her?"
"I..." Ling Luoyin's eyes were wide open, but she could not utter a complete word. She was shaking like a sieve.
She thought that she had been secretive about the ‘respect’ she was receiving from others who wanted her to put in a good word for them with Gu Lichen. In fact, she had helped these folks who ‘respect’ her a few times prior. Just by intentionally bringing up good things about them in front of him indirectly helped complete favors for them.
