Ling Yiran was stunned. The Xiao family was not invited to the funeral today. It must have taken a lot of effort for Xiao Ziqi to come here.
Then, Xiao Ziyi came limping over and said angrily, "Ling Yiran, you wouldn't have been the mistress of the Yi family if my brother hadn't broken up with you. You—"
"Shut up!" Xiao Ziqi quickly stopped his sister, fearing she might say something inappropriate. "Hurry and apologize to Yiran!"
Xiao Ziqi said to Ling Yiran, "Yiran, I'm sorry. My sister doesn't know any better. Be the bigger person and don’t bother quarreling with her. The Xiao family has wronged you so many times, and I can apologize however you want. I only beg you to let the Xiao family off!"
Ling Yiran's eyes flashed with confusion. She then recalled what Yi Jinli had done to the Hao family previously. 'In other words, Jin might be dealing with the Hao family and the Xiao family at the same time. Is that why Xiao Ziqi is putting on such a show now?'
"I've been feeling guilty all these years, especially after I found out you were wronged. I felt sorry for you even more. If I had found out the truth for you, you wouldn't have suffered so much."
Xiao Ziqi looked remorseful and sad as he spoke.
However, Ling Yiran just looked at him coldly. Xiao Ziqi's eyes were moist at the moment. Many women would feel sorry to see such a sad expression on Xiao Ziqi's handsome face.
At this moment, she remembered how he had stood beside Hao Yimeng, coldly looking on as her fingernails were pulled out one by one. He had even ruthlessly stepped on the back of her blood-stained hand, saying the thing he regretted the most was dating her!
People would only find it hypocritical when a man like that showed remorse and sadness.
Her silence embarrassed Xiao Ziqi and made Xiao Ziyi complain, "Ling Yiran, what do you mean by acting like this? My brother has already apologized to you. What more do you want?"
