"Now that Yiran can’t get anything good in her life, she doesn’t want Luoyin to live happily either!” Fang Cuie said angrily. "If she ruins Luoyin's relationship with Gu Lichen, I'm going to kill her!"
However, Ling Guozhi said, "Is there a misunderstanding here?" After all, Ling Yiran was also his daughter. It did not matter to him which daughter was going to be with Gu Lichen.
The key was that he could be Gu Lichen's father-in-law.
"What misunderstanding can there be? She's just trying to climb the social ladder!" Fang Cuie said. "How else does she know Yi Jinli? Doesn’t she know that she's an ex-convict? Will anyone take her seriously?"
Fang Cuie was now sparing no effort to denigrate her stepdaughter, fearing that this stepdaughter would rob her daughter of a good marriage.
"Luoyin is different. Luoyin is innocent! She is also Gu Lichen's serious girlfriend right now. It's only natural for her to become the best actress and marry into the Gu family," The way that Feng Cuie said it made it sound like Luoyin was going to be the queen of cinema tomorrow and instantly become the Gu Family’s daughter-in-law.
Ling Guozhi nodded and said, "Alright, then I'll ask Yiran to come home and talk to her. I'll tell her to keep her distance from Gu Lichen and not meddle in Luoyin's affairs."
Ling Luoyin and Fang Cuie looked at each other, their faces bright.
"Thanks, Dad," Ling Luoyin said. However, she started to look concerned. "But what if Sis won't listen?"
"I'm her father. Unless her last name is not Ling, she'll have to do what I say!" Ling Guozhi said, looking tough.
Ling Luoyin lowered her head slightly, and a smile tugged at the corners of her lips.
…
After getting out of prison and visiting her mother’s grave, she saw that the weeds had grown so much that they almost covered the words on the gravestone. Cracks had also appeared on the gravestone. She thought of repairing the gravestone when she went to pay her respects on Tomb Sweeping Day, but she did not expect to move the grave completely.
"Fine, I'll go back," Ling Yiran said. She would never have agreed to go back if it had not been to discuss her mother's affairs.
"Then come back tomorrow night. What do you want to eat? I'll send your Aunt Fang to prepare it," Ling Guozhi said in a paternal tone, causing Ling Yiran to be absent-minded for a while.
He was speaking to her in the same tone as when her career and love life were flourishing back then.
However, after she went to prison, everything changed. She realized that she was only his daughter when she was useful, and when she was useless, not a trace of affection was left.
"No, I'll come after dinner," Ling Yiran said. She then ended the call and put away her phone.
