"Great. Fortunately, you look different now," muttered Yi Jinli. He did not want that woman to have Ling Yiran’s face on her.
However, it was good that they both looked alike as... children.
Yi Jinli's eyelashes fluttered a little, and he lowered his eyes. His long eyelashes covered the thoughts and calculations that were going on in his eyes at that moment...
…
Yi Jinli and Ling Yiran stayed for dinner. When it was getting dark toward the evening, Ling Yiran’s grandfather, Old Man Lu, returned. Nevertheless, he was indifferent towards Ling Yiran and even worse toward Yi Jinli.
Ling Yiran was no stranger to his attitude. However, seeing her grandfather's attitude toward Yi Jinli, she looked at the latter with some concern.
After all, because of his Yi Jinli's status, few people dared treat him that way.
Nonetheless, Yi Jinli only smiled at Ling Yiran as if he could sense her concern. He gave a look that suggested she need not worry.
It was a relief to Ling Yiran.
During dinner, her grandmother was quite happy and had a better appetite than usual.
While eating, Hua Lifang could not help but say in a tone full of sarcasm, "Hey, Grandpa, do you know that Yiran left the Sanitation Service Center and is now working as a food delivery rider? Although working as a food delivery rider is a little tiring, it seems that if you work hard, you can earn some money."
"What's there to be said about being a rider? Isn't she ashamed that she has ended up as an errand girl after so many years of studying?" Old Man Lu snorted.
Ling Yiran might have been an elite lawyer in the past, but she was only someone who had been to prison now.
Hua Lifang could not figure out what Yi Jinli saw in Ling Yiran.
Ling Yiran met Yi Jinli's haze and felt a sense of warmth inside. The man would stand up for her anytime.
Grandma witnessed it and was secretly pleased.
Ling Yiran was going to leave after one meal. However, before she left, she said reluctantly, "Grandma, when you get better, I'll take you to Shen City to taste some of the local specialties there."
