She wanted the rest of the crew to understand her relationship with Lichen so that she could put on airs even though she was only playing a supporting role. Besides, the director would also give her extra scenes if that happened.
She had planned all of this out, and at first, it was going just as she planned.
However... Once Ling Yiran came along, everything changed.
'Especially when Lichen grabbed Ling Yiran by the wrist… A lot of the crew members saw this. Now that Lichen's gone…'
Hua Lifang could feel the gazes of those around her changing from envy to ridicule and sympathy.
'It's all because of Ling Yiran!
'I mustn't let Ling Yiran steal Lichen away from me! Lichen's my hope for my future. If I want to live a good life, I have to seize this chance with Lichen!'
...
Ling Yiran went to the prison again the next day to find Huang Yanying. Huang Yanying was sentenced to one year in prison for the accident.
At first, Ling Yiran just wanted to try her luck and see if she could sound her out. However, Huang Yanying immediately rejected her and asked her to leave as soon as she heard Ling Yiran was the assistant of the plaintiff's lawyer, saying that everything should be decided by the court.
Before Ling Yiran left, she deliberately asked Huang Yanying if she had been scared by a dog darting out onto the road on the night of the accident. To which she immediately replied, "It wasn’t a dog. It was a cat. A cat with yellow and gray stripes!"
Her answer was too quick, too urgent, and too sure. She even said the cat's fur pattern as if to convince people that there was such a cat.
"Yes, it was a cat. I remembered it wrong," Ling Yiran said with a smile, but she already had an answer in her mind.
