After all... Lianyi had not experienced too much of the dark side, unlike her who had seen so much darkness in the prison that she sometimes did not even have the strength to cry.
"Poof!" Qin Lianyi spat out the pudding which she had not yet swallowed and quickly took a tissue to wipe it. Then, she said to Ling Yiran, "At least joke when I'm not eating, Yiran. You're taking the joke too far."
"I mean it," said Ling Yiran.
They stared at each other for a long time before Qin Lianyi laughed and said, "We're not meant for each other even if he's really still in love with me. What kind of family do you think the Bai family is? If I get together with him, then the rest of my life will be one big internal fight in a wealthy family. With my skills, I reckon I'll be beaten to bits in a minute."
Uh, just forget about it. Once she paid off her ‘debt’ to Bai Tingxin, she would be free.
"Let's not talk about it. By the way, you said you got a new job. How is it? Everything all right?" said Qin Lianyi as she changed the subject.
"Not bad. It's a small restaurant. The salary is 4,000 dollars a month. It's not much, but the owner is nice and I get along well with the other employees," said Ling Yiran.
"That's great, but your current job isn't sustainable. You're a brilliant student. Have you ever thought of getting some other certificate so that when the time comes you can get a different job?" said Qin Lianyi.
Ling Yiran gave a wry smile. "I can't even get a job as a receptionist. Even if I do get a certificate, it won’t be of any use."
Qin Lianyi was taken aback. After all that was said and done, it was because her best friend had a criminal record. Her best way out was by reversing her case!
