Her hands, which had fallen to her sides, were clenched into fists. It was some kind of oppressive tolerance.
The boss had checked her information previously and knew that she was imprisoned for the death of Hao Meiyu after a car accident.
However, he did not go through the details of the case. Now, listening to what others were saying, she... Pleaded not guilty at the trial, saying she was wrong.
Was she really wronged? Hao Meiyu's death had nothing to do with her?
The colleague simply explained the incident without taking any sides, but how could someone who was the boss of the firm not understand the fishy business in it? Immediately, the way he looked at Guan Lili grew a little colder. Then, he turned to look at Ling Yiran.
"Yiran, I'm sorry this happened to you. How about this? The firm will compensate you for any of your losses. You can list it out later," said the boss.
Ling Yiran said lightly, "No thanks, I still have work!"
Taking a deep breath, she looked at Gu Lichen, took the suit jacket off, and returned it to him. "Thank you." Her shirt was still wet and in a translucent state.
However, Ling Yiran just wanted to get out of here immediately.
"You can keep it on. You don't have to return it to me," said Gu Lichen.
The boss looked at Gu Lichen in surprise. He had known Gu Lichen for years and knew that the entertainment industry's crown prince was normally indifferent. Even if someone was hacked to death in front of him, he probably could not care less.
Now, he was obviously concerned about a woman. This... Was really a surprise.
There was a great silence in the general room of the firm.
Guan Lili was dumbstruck. What was going on? Did the entertainment industry's crown prince have anything to do with Ling Yiran? Other people were usually the ones currying the crown prince's favor, but now... Why did it look as if the crown prince was the one trying to curry Ling Yiran's favor?
"Come to my office later," the boss said to Guan Lili with a livid expression.
Guan Lili immediately stiffened. The way her colleagues looked at her now turned into that of pity and ridicule.
These looks... Were what she had hoped Ling Yiran would suffer, but she ended up being the one on the receiving end.
