"Ah, sure!" Although Gu Lichen had not introduced himself, Lawyer Gu recognized him and agreed. He took him to a conference room and told Ling Yiran, "You can talk to Mr. Gu here."
Ling Yiran was a little speechless.
When the door closed, only Ling Yiran and Gu Lichen were left in the conference room.
There seemed to be an indescribable sense of depression in the air.
Outside the conference room, Guan Lili and the other colleagues were stunned.
The plot twist was too unexpected. What started as someone meeting their lover turned into the girlfriend trying to confront the homewrecker. Then, the story changed again. Ling Yiran was not a homewrecker and she seemed close to the entertainment industry’s crown prince.
When Guan Lili saw Gu Lichen, her mood was different from the others.
Gu Lichen had previously run into them when she was giving Ling Yiran a hard time and defended Ling Yiran.
She thought Gu Lichen had lost interest in Ling Yiran when the internet was full of gossip about him and Hua Lifang.
After all, no woman would last long with the crown prince of the entertainment industry.
However, who would have thought that Gu Lichen would appear again today and defend Ling Yiran as before?!
'What on earth does Ling Yiran have for Gu Lichen to defend her like this?'
Guan Lili felt a mixture of hate and jealousy. Her boyfriend, who was an associate professor, was nothing compared to Gu Lichen.
Gu Lichen frowned slightly. "What do you mean?"
She smiled faintly. "Nothing. I just think you're really nice to Sis Lifang. You'd even care about her cousin."
'No, my concern for you isn't because of Lifang, but…' The answer was about to escape his heart! Pursing his lips slightly, Gu Lichen said, "You haven't answered me yet. What's going on between you and Jinli?"
"That doesn't seem to concern you, Mr. Gu. I also don't need your help," said Ling Yiran.
She promised Yi Jinli that she would become his sister again for Sis Zhuo and Lil Yan's sake, so she could not go back on her words now.
After all, one had to give something for what they got.
