Third Aunt was stunned but then said, "We're still relatives, after all! Aren't you afraid of people talking behind your back for refusing to help us?"
"The perpetrator isn’t even afraid of being gossiped about. Why would I, the victim, be afraid? Besides, Sis Lifang didn’t consider me her relative when she harmed me." Ling Yiran laughed.
Third Aunt's face turned pale instantly. She immediately tried to lecture Ling Yiran by acting as the elder. She raised her hand to poke Ling Yiran. However, the bodyguard caught her finger when her hand had just reached out in Ling Yiran's direction.
Suddenly, Third Aunt's finger felt as if it was going to break off and she cried out in pain.
"Third Aunt, you'd better not touch me. My bodyguard is no slouch. You're the only one who's gonna get hurt, Third Aunt," Ling Yiran said coldly.
Third Aunt was furious, but her finger was hurting so badly that she could only withdraw her hand and glare fiercely at Ling Yiran. "Okay, you've grown up, haven't you? Just wait and see. I'll see how arrogant you can be!"
"If you dare do anything to her, I guarantee that not only Hua Lifang but your entire family will be put in prison!" Gu Lichen suddenly said out loud.
Startled, Third Aunt turned pale and quietly left in disgrace.
Gu Lichen looked at Ling Yiran. Moments later, he asked with some difficulty, "Are you okay?"
"I'm doing really well," Ling Yiran said with a smile.
He looked at her slightly rosy cheeks and the happiness on her face. She was quite different from before. Like she had said, she was indeed doing really well.
