Chapter 571

However... it did not make sense. Young Master Gu was Ling Luoyin's boyfriend, and she was now trying to seek justice for Luoyin. If Young Master Gu did not like people, he should dislike Luoyin's older sister. Gu Lichen walked forward, but before he could speak, the manager eagerly said, "Young Master Gu, Luoyin only wanted to take her sister to Gao Jingshan out of kindness. However, her sister pushed her away and made Luoyin sprain her foot." In other words, she was suggesting that Gu Lichen was backing Ling Luoyin. Ling Luoyin's eyes were misty, and she looked delicate. It was as if she were trying to hold back her tears. "Lichen... Don't… Don't listen to her. Sis… didn't mean it. I fell because I lost my footing." However, the more she said it like that, the more she directed the focus onto Ling Yiran; it only made people feel that her older sister was arrogant and domineering. Additionally, it made people feel that the little sister was the one that had been wronged and was suffering silently as her sister bullied her. Ling Luoyin wanted to use her fans and the public’s opinion to step on Ling Yiran. Besides, no one would be able to find anything wrong with her and even Yi Jinli would not have a reason to stand up for Ling Yiran. Ling Luoyin secretly thought that she now looked like someone who could stand what had been done to her and was kind enough to speak up for her perpetrator, Ling Yiran. Nevertheless, Gu Lichen's eyes only grew colder. His keen eyes looked straight at Ling Luoyin, so much so that the latter felt as if she had no place to hide and that this man knew all her ideas. Even though she was his girlfriend, she always felt that there was an insurmountable gap between him and her. Additionally, she had tried hard to get close to him, but he refused to let her do so. Gu Lichen's thin lips parted, and he said in a cold voice, "You fell because you didn't watch your footing." His words were like an invisible slap, forcefully slapping Ling Luoyin's face! She could not help but visualize the scene that night when she had watched him hold Ling Yiran in his arms in front of the small restaurant. Even if... Lichen did not know that Ling Yiran was the little girl, was he still attracted to Ling Yiran? "As for her..." Gu Lichen pointed again at the manager who had scolded Ling Yiran. "I don't think she needs to work here anymore." The manager looked shocked. Had she... been fired by Young Master Gu? The manager broke out in a cold sweat. Being fired by the entertainment industry's crown prince in person meant that she could forget about working in the industry. No company would accept her. She... She had only taken it out for Luoyin! She had only been trying to please Ling Luoyin! The manager looked at Ling Luoyin for help, but how could Ling Luoyin help her? Gu Lichen's eyes were so cold they seemed to be able to read people's hearts, making her tremble. Gu Lichen turned to look at Ling Yiran. "Are you all right?" There was a touch of rare concern in his voice. "I'm fine," Ling Yiran replied lightly. Then she said to Gao Jingshan's assistant who was still in a trance beside her, "Can we go now?" "Oh, of course... of course we can," the assistant replied hurriedly and continued leading the way. Ling Yiran dragged Qin Lianyi who was now guilty and followed the assistant toward Gao Jingshan's lounge. Behind them, Ling Luoyin lowered her eyes; she did so to hide the look of hatred she had in her eyes. Lichen... went as far as to criticize her in public for Ling Yiran. 'What was so good about Ling Yiran?' She had to make sure that Ling Yiran lost access to several opportunities!
