"Lichen, you're... not thinking about Yiran, are you? Is it really okay for you to argue with Yiran because of my lawsuit? Yiran was even willing to beg to see you for Guo Xinli. Is it alright for you to reject seeing her?" Hua Lifang said, pretending to be apologetic.
"You needn't ask any more questions about us. Just talk to your lawyer about the issues that are related to the lawsuit," Gu Lichen said coldly.
Hua Lifang suddenly started sobbing and seemed to wipe her tears as she lowered her head. "Lichen, thank you. I thought you love Yiran and would show your concern for her by advising me not to sue Guo Xinli. I thought you’d ask me to swallow the grievance, but... I didn't expect you to hire a lawyer for me and help me with my case. Thank you. That's so nice of you. You're... still the same person."
She wanted to call him Chenchen but gave up after remembering his previous warnings.
There was no need to annoy him with a name. After all, the most important thing now was for him to avoid meeting Ling Yiran as much as possible and become increasingly estranged from her.
Gu Lichen stared at Hua Lifang. "As long as everything you say is true, of course, I'll help you get justice."
Since Yiran was determined to help Guo Xinli, he would see her after the case was resolved. He wanted her to know that Guo Xinli, whom she cared about, was unworthy of her trust!
Then she would naturally see that she had trusted the wrong man!
Gu Lichen thought so at this moment.
However, he could not tell whether he wanted justice for Hua Lifang or whether... he was more jealous of Guo Xinli!
...
Ling Yiran lay on the hospital bed in the hospital's VIP ward with an IV drip on the back of her hand. Her pale face was so similar in shade to the white sheets covering her. She looked so haggard. Her brows were still furrowed even in her unconscious state.
