Chapter 548

However, Zhuo Qianyun soon came to her senses. She stepped forward to take her son from Yi Jinli and said, "Thank you. I'll carry Lil Yan into the room first." With that, Zhuo Qianyun took Lil Yan in her arms and headed to the backroom behind the small restaurant. Ling Yiran saw this and said to Yi Jinli, "I'll have a word with Sis Zhuo. Give me a minute." Then, she followed her into the backroom. When Ling Yiran entered the room, Zhuo Qianyun was putting Lil Yan on the bed. She pulled over the quilt and gently covered her son with it. "Thank you for taking care of Lil Yan today, Yiran." Zhuo Qianyun thanked Ling Yiran. Ling Yiran bit her lip slightly and looked straight at Zhuo Qianyun, saying, "I met Ye Wenming today, Sis Zhuo." The words ‘Ye Wenming’ made Zhuo Qianyun stiffen suddenly, and her face paled. "He..." She had just started talking but could not go on anymore. It was because she did not know how to start or how to ask. Her eyes were filled with a layer of fear and tension. Ling Yiran took the initiative to say, "It was just a chance encounter because Lil Yan lost his cochlear implant and went to the restroom to look for it. He met Ye Wenming there." As she spoke, she took Lil Yan's cochlear implant out of her bag and handed it to Zhuo Qianyun. "Also, Ye Wenming doesn’t know Lil Yan’s his child." Zhuo Qianyun's pupils shrunk immediately as she looked at Ling Yiran in shock. Her heart was in a sea of shock. Lil Yan's identity had always been her secret, and few people knew it, but now... "You knew?" she asked jadedly. "Yes, Jin mentioned Ye Wenming to me before, and I thought of a case I had read back then. I sort of guessed your relationship with Ye Wenming, and Lil Yan actually looks a little similar to Ye Wenming," said Ling Yiran. Then, she added sheepishly, "I'm sorry..." After all, this was a matter of privacy, and no one wanted to be found out about their miserable past. Zhuo Qianyun forced out a smile. "What are you so sorry about that? By the way, I remember you said you were a lawyer before. You said you've read the files, so you should know what the case was about." Ling Yiran nodded. "I was framed, but unfortunately, no one believed me when I said it," said Zhuo Qianyun. It was such agonizing despair that even her mother did not believe her at first because her relationship with her mother was extremely strained. It was only after Lil Yan's birth that her mother did not want her to suffer too much, so their relationship eased. "I believe you. Although... Uh, there's nothing to prove your innocence, but I believe in you," said Ling Yiran. She too had suffered from being framed. She chose to become a lawyer back then because she believed that the law was always fair. However, after experiencing it personally, she realized that even though the law was just, witnesses and evidence could lie. As such, the law was not always just. Zhuo Qianyun's eyes reddened a little. "Thank you, Yiran. Thank you for believing me, and thank you for not letting Ye Wenming know that Lil Yan is his child." "How long do you intend to hide this? I heard from Jin that Ye Wenming is looking for you everywhere," Ling Yiran asked with concern. "I won't let him find us. As for Lil Yan's identity, I'll tell him everything when he's an adult. Then, it's up to him to decide!" said Zhuo Qianyun.
