He was silent. His eyes met her almond-shaped eyes, and the word ‘yes’ finally came out of his thin lips.
"Is it true that you've always known the truth but chose not to say anything because of... the deal with the Hao family?" she continued asking.
His lips trembled even more. Each of her questions seemed to cut him with a sharp knife, making him feel like he was being executed.
However, the saddest part was that he deserved this execution. He could not even defend himself!
"Yes or no, answer me!" She raised her voice, and her expression became agitated.
He said, "Yes... But Yiran, I..."
"Yi Jinli, how could you do that? You let someone innocent go to jail for money? You even... You knew what the Hao family did to me when I was in prison!" However, he chose not to look into it and just let the matter be.
She previously thought he did that because he had mistaken her as the perpetrator in the car accident.
However, now she knew that she had made a fool of herself.
It turned out... he had known about the truth the whole time. He knew that she was innocent and wronged, but... he did nothing. He did not even have a shred of pity!
"I'm sorry... Yiran, I'm sorry..." Yi Jinli kept apologizing. He wanted to go up and hug her.
However, she suddenly pushed his hand away. "Sorry... It turns out that someone's fate is just this to you. Do you know I almost died in prison? How could you lie to me and fool me like that... How could you..."
Ling Yiran frowned suddenly, covering her bulging belly with her hands. She was flustered by the wave of pain in her belly.
