On the way back with Yi Jinli, Ling Yiran suddenly said, "Jin, do you know Xiao Ziqi?"
"The president of the Xiao Group?" he asked.
"You know him too then. Yes, he's the guy who's been in the gossip news recently. He's the groom in the marriage between the Xiao family and Hao family, and... he's also..." She paused and hesitated for a moment before saying, "My ex-boyfriend."
Yi Jinli also stopped walking and stood quietly by Ling Yiran's side, looking at her.
Perhaps some words or some emotions had been bottled up in her heart for too long, so she could not help but want to spit them out at this moment. "Don't you think it is incredible that someone like me was once that person's girlfriend?"
She laughed at herself. "At that time, I was still a new lawyer who had just graduated, and I thought that he and I would get married. However, I had not been expecting that in a car accident I would be charged with driving under the influence and causing death. At that time, he couldn't wait to break up with me, and even..."
She paused for a while and did not continue to talk about the nightmare-like situation in the prison.
Her fingers seemed to be in pain again. Even though the nails had recovered and the broken bones had reconnected, they were no longer the same as before.
"Forget it, it's nothing. It's all in the past." She spoke in a somewhat bitter voice.
Yi Jinli pursed his thin lips. Even though she did not finish her sentence, there were some things that he would naturally know about. The information on her that Gao Congming had given him had made everything clear.
When he was looking at those documents, he had not felt anything. However, now, when he heard what she had said, he felt as if his heart hurt a little.
The Xiao family had put up this advertisement in many large shopping centers in Shen City, which was also a lead-up for the marriage between the Xiao and Hao families. These days, many media outlets were praising the romantic sentiment of this advertisement, and there were also media outlets calling Hao Yimeng the happiest woman in the world.
It was really eye-catching.
Yi Jinli looked at the slender woman in front of him. On her face, there was a kind of calm resignation that came from a withered heart. It was as if she had already seen through everything, and there was nothing else that could stir her heart now.
For some unknown reason, his chest tightened. Then what about him? Could he stir up the waves in her heart?
He raised his hand and covered her eyes, which were fixed on the projection ad. "Sister, if you don't like this advertisement, how about getting it removed tomorrow?"
