Such an intimate action sent chills running down the manager and Mr. Zheng’s spines as fear crept up in their hearts.
It was said that Yi Jinli never had any woman beside him all this while. Even with his late fiancée, Hao Meiyu, both of them remained courteous toward each other. Nobody ever saw him being so close to another woman before.
Plus, he was demanding justice for a woman in public?
Zhao Mantian knelt and stuttered as she made her apology. “Yiran, it... it is my fault. I shouldn’t have said such things to you. I... I’ll never do that again. Please forgive me!”
Ling Yiran observed Zhao Mantian but did not feel any pity for her. After all, Zhao Mantian had never been merciful toward her either. Ling Yiran was not a saint who could sympathize with someone who had always mocked her.
However, she just did not like such methods. Even if Zhao Mantian had knelt down to apologize, she did not have a sliver of pleasure in her heart.
“Sis, do you want to forgive her?” Yi Jinli mumbled to her as if giving her a chance to decide.
“You can make the decision.” Ling Yiran lowered her lids. “I’m hungry and want to eat.”
“That’s right. Let’s go,” Yi Jinli said as he once again held Ling Yiran’s hand and motioned for the manager to lead the way.
The manager immediately led the way while Zhao Mantian was still dumbfounded as she continued to kneel on the ground, unable to digest what had just happened.
‘Earlier... Did Yi Jinli address Ling Yiran as ‘sis’?
‘What is the meaning of that? Since when did Ling Yiran become Yi Jinli’s sister? But the problem is... The body language that Yi Jinli portrayed toward Ling Yiran is not of a brother-sister relationship. Instead, it’s more like... between lovers!’
After Yi Jinli left, Mr. Zheng bellowed at Zhao Mantian, “Don’t drag me along even if you have a death wish! Remember this, it’s not because I don’t want to help your family, it’s because you have offended Yi Jinli. I’m powerless to help you.”
With that said, Mr. Zheng headed for the restaurant exit.
