Su Wenting instantly felt like she was slapped in the face again. It was far more painful and embarrassing than when she got slapped by Ling Yiran.
"I'm alright," replied Ling Yiran.
Yi Jinli gently massaged Ling Yiran's palm with his fingers. "Tell me if you want to slap someone next time. Don't hurt your hand."
He glanced at her palm again as he spoke, "It's a little red now."
"Mister... Mr. Yi, I..." Su Wenting could not help voicing out. She was the one in pain. Her face was redder and more swollen!
Yi Jinli seemed to remember that Su Wenting was here and glanced at her coldly.
"By the way, my wife may have left the Yi family for five years, but she's still the mistress of the Yi family. Since when did you gain the right to criticize her? And since when did the Yi family become your family? You’ve never been a member of the Yi family, so don't think of the Yi family as your own."
Yi Jinli's icy voice and stare made Su Wenting shudder as she said dejectedly, "But my... My daughter's... the Yi family..."
"Wanna's indeed the Yi family's adopted daughter, but you have nothing to do with the Yi family," said Yi Jinli.
Su Wenting's face, which was red and swollen before, instantly turned pale. ‘Have I just been an outsider to this man all along?'
Seeing Yi Jinli gently holding Ling Yiran's hand and rubbing her palm, Su Wenting only found the sight irritating to her eyes. The pain on her cheek seemed to worsen.
"Mr. Yi, aren't you afraid that the Yi family's reputation will be tarnished because of Ling Yiran? Once that happens, even a century-old family like the Yi family—"
However, before she could finish, Yi Jinli said, "As long as my wife wants, I can give away or destroy the Yi family at any time. The entire Yi family belongs to my wife, so why should you worry about it?"
