The Domineering Boss is Addicted to the Convict novel Chapter 469

She was usually the subject of flattery in high society. She had never been treated that way.

"No, I must show that woman Ling Yiran a thing or two. She must have told Yi Jinli about this. He has never treated me this way." Lyu Zhixue put all the blame on Ling Yiran.

"That's enough! Don't bother Ling Yiran again, and that's the end of this!" said Hao Qirong.

Lyu Zhixue looked at her husband in disbelief. "What are you saying? Ling Yiran murdered our daughter!"

Hao Qirong's eyes flashed a complicated look, and he looked away. He was trying to avoid his wife's gaze. "If you don't want the entire Hao family to be buried with Meiyu, do as I say!"

Lyu Zhixue wanted to say something, but Hao Yimeng pulled her mother aside. "Just listen to Dad, Mom. Don't go after Ling Yiran for now." As for when Yi Jinli would lose his interest in Ling Yiran, that was entirely up to Ling Yiran's luck.

Lyu Zhixue's face was full of resentment. Had she been slapped for nothing?

Why did Ling Yiran not die in prison?

...

In the Yi family's living room, Ling Yiran walked down the stairs. She had been standing at the top of the stairs, remaining hidden in the shadows.

She saw what had happened in the living room and even overheard their conversation.

She knew Jin was taking it out on her behalf. The humiliation she suffered this morning seemed to dissipate little by little after hearing how he defended her.

Even though the Hao family was inferior to the Yi family, if things really got messy, it would surely have an impact on the Yi family's business.

"Why not?" He smiled. "If I can't even claim justice for you on a small matter like this, then I've failed as a boyfriend."

As he spoke, he raised his other hand and once again stroked the red and swollen part of her face gently. "That slap isn't enough, though."

She was stunned. What else was he going to do? When she asked, he simply said lightly, "You'll see in a few days. If anyone ever embarrasses you again, just call me, all right?"

She unconsciously pressed her dry lips together. "You're making me more and more dependent on you."
