Hao Qirong and Lyu Zhixue were no longer acting superior as they had with Ling Yiran earlier today. Even though they had seen Ling Yiran as an ant that could easily be crushed, at this moment, they were the ants!
As an actress, Hao Yimeng was the most capable of concealing her expression. With a look of guilt, she said, "Brother Yi, my parents met Miss Ling at the mall today. In a fit of pique, they did some drastic actions toward Miss Ling. Therefore, we’ve come here hoping to apologize to Miss Ling in person and get her forgiveness."
It was a bit difficult for Hao Yimeng to call her ‘Miss Ling’.
After all, this woman was the last woman she wanted to see. She had always considered her worthless, but now, she needed to address the person whom she considered worthless respectfully. She had to forcefully suppress her dignity.
"Is that so? In a fit of pique? Tell me, what is it about her that made you angry?" asked Yi Jinli calmly. His deep black eyes made it hard for them to guess what he was feeling.
‘Temperamental’ was how people described Shen City's local tyrant. Few people in Shen City could guess what Yi Jinli was thinking.
"She… She's Meiyu's murderer, Jinli! Isn't that enough to make us angry?" Lyu Zhixue suddenly shouted, her voice full of resentment. "She’s the one who killed Meiyu! How… How can you date her? Meiyu won't rest in peace if you do!"
When the second half of the sentence came out of Lyu Zhixue's mouth, Hao Qirong and Hao Yimeng's faces immediately paled. They tried to stop Lyu Zhixue, but it was already too late. Lyu Zhixue had finished speaking.
As soon as they saw Yi Jinli's face darkening, their hearts stopped. They realized that they had made a mistake.
Hao Qirong, in particular, was a wild old fox in business. He was better at reading people.
A man like Yi Jinli was free to be interested in any woman he wanted. Not to mention that he had not married Meiyu back then. Even if they had gotten married, the Hao family still did not have a right to comment on the woman he was interested in.
Yi Jinli turned to Hao Qirong who was beside Lyu Zhixue. He had a half-smile on his face. "I’ve already said that it has nothing to do with her, so it has nothing to do with her. Do you understand? I don't want to hear you call her a murderer anymore."
Hao Qirong turned pale as his lips trembled slightly.
Lyu Zhixue looked like she wanted to say more, but Hao Qirong stopped her. "Sure, we understand. Why don't Young Master Yi ask Miss Ling to come out for a moment so that we can apologize for what happened today?"
Hao Qirong, who had been doing business for many years, naturally knew when to yield.
Although the Hao family was also rich and powerful in Shen City, they could not compete against an elite family like the Yi family. Hao Qirong thought about the incident, and a wave of mixed emotions swept over him.
