It was as if the man would not tolerate anyone talking bad about Ling Yiran.
Hua Lifang's heart could not help but tinge with envy. Hua Lifang was jealous that Ling Yiran was able to find such a handsome boyfriend who did not care about her imprisonment. On her end, she had married a blacksmith when she was young.
Hua Lifang had thought that the blacksmith she married was at the very least skilled. Additionally, he did pay a substantial bride price. However, throughout the past few years, Hua Lifang had begun feeling more and more miserable.
The friends she used to go out with now all living good lives in the city, marrying white-collar workers, civil servants, directors, and alike. They sounded so high-class that Hua Lifang was embarrassed to say that her husband was merely a blacksmith.
She had often wondered in recent years that if she had not married so early, would she have been married in town now? At the very least, she would be married to a white-collar worker!
"Hey, so this is Yiran's boyfriend," said Third Aunt as she interposed with a tone of earnest concern. "You must cherish him. Tell me, what did that rich and powerful man earlier see in you? Didn't he find you interesting at first but then dump you when he came around?"
Yi Jinli raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Ling Yiran. "A rich and powerful man? Who is she talking about?"
"..." Ling Yiran guessed that Third Aunt was referring Yi Jinli. After all, he had made such a fuss about coming into town and saving her.
However, at that time, it was First Uncle and Second Uncle that had been in simpleton Feng's house, and Third Aunt was not there. Thus, she had never met Jin before.
Sure enough, Ling Yiran then heard Third Aunt’s elaborate explanation, "Well, when Yiran was here, there was a rich and powerful man who brought a lot of people to pick her up. They brought a lot of fancy cars. I was worried about Yiran. I was afraid that a rich and powerful man like him would not have any true feelings for her and that she'd get caught up in it. I'm glad that she has a boyfriend like you now."
Ling Yiran found it funny. Third Aunt and her cousin were indeed the same! They both liked to reveal matters related to her on purpose. However, what Third Aunt did not know was that the rich and powerful man she was talking about was standing right in front of her.
