That's why he said it long ago: women are just love-struck.
Once you're in, you can't get out. Do you really think Yi Qilin would marry such a low-class woman?
Are you kidding me?
Once he regains control of the Yi family, tramples Yi Tianran and even the entire Fu family underfoot, and becomes a superior person, what kind of woman can't he have?
In short, marrying Liu Meiling was absolutely not an option in his dictionary.
After saying a few more comforting words, Yi Qilin pretended to be reluctant and turned to leave.
After everyone left, Liu Meiling loosened her grip, and a large bouquet of bright red roses fell to the ground.
The smile on her face had long since vanished.
It stood there quietly, speechless for a long time.
The silence was broken by a phone call.
Liu Meiling slowly came to her senses, picked up her phone, glanced at the caller ID, and pressed the answer button.
"Hey, Meiling? Why aren't you here yet!" Yi Tianran's voice, slightly complaining yet cheerful, came through the receiver. "Today is your birthday. I prepared a gift and arranged everything, but you, the birthday girl, are late. Is that appropriate?"
Liu Meiling paused for a moment, then a faint smile appeared on her face. "I know, can't you let me prepare a little more since I'm the birthday girl? You've made all these special arrangements for me, so I have to dress up nicely!"
Yi Tianran seemed helpless: "Alright, alright, I'll give you another half hour. See you at the Disney entrance!"
"Okay, wait for me, I'll be there soon." Liu Meiling slowly hung up the phone, her smile fading again, her eyes dim and lifeless.
If Yi Qilin had taken a closer look at Liu Meiling's outfit when he arrived, he would have noticed that she had put a lot of thought into it.
She had styled her hair in a unique way, put on beautiful makeup, wore an exquisite necklace, and sprayed perfume on herself, clearly looking like she was about to go out.
If he had looked it up even slightly or asked a few questions, he would have known that today is Liu Meiling's birthday.
So just now, when she saw Yi Qilin suddenly come to her door, Liu Meiling's eyes flashed with intense joy.
She thought Yi Qilin remembered what day it was, so he came to wish her a happy birthday and keep her company.
There was no result.
Just like countless times before, he relied on his persuasive skills to express his love tenderly and said he would marry her.
However, there wasn't even a candlelight dinner, let alone a ring as a guarantee.
None of these exist.
Instead, they made her do things.
In the past, Liu Meiling was so engrossed in the illusions Yi Qilin had created for her that she probably wouldn't have doubted his words at all.
However, his previous remark that "you are not worthy" was deeply etched in Liu Meiling's mind.
She wasn't stupid. If she had just asked Yi Tianran a little, she would have known that Yi Tianran had finally revealed her true identity and returned to the Yi family to reclaim power for the old lady.
So now, Yi Qilin is like a stray dog, driven to the brink of desperation, which is why he turned to her.
...
Liu Meiling didn't have time to feel sorry for herself. Instead, she quickly went upstairs to wash her face, put on makeup again, and went out.
Arriving at Disneyland, I spotted a beautiful figure from afar, seemingly being entangled by someone.
"Sister, you are the most beautiful girl I have ever seen in my life. Can I have your phone number?" A boy who looked like a college student approached Yi Tianran with a grin and tried to get close to her.
Yi Tianran lifted her eyelids, her expression indifferent: "Do we know each other?"
When faced with this attitude, one should usually back down.
However, this boy probably hasn't experienced setbacks yet, or perhaps he's just like a dead pig that's not afraid of boiling water.
"Once we exchanged contact information, we'd get to know each other better as we chatted!"
Yi Tianran scoffed, "Hey bro, is your social butterfly syndrome something you were born with? Too bad, I'm not interested in a brat like you. Please leave gracefully."
The boy's smile froze; he felt mocked.
He was unwilling to accept this, and could faintly hear the snickers of several people behind him.
They were a group of students who had come out to play together. They had just seen Yi Tianran standing alone at the door. Anyone would want to strike up a conversation with such a beautiful woman, but none of them had the courage.
Only he boasted about his charm, saying that winning over this kind of woman was a piece of cake.
So they encouraged themselves to let him ask for the phone number.
The boy was initially very confident, but now he was choked up and felt a little embarrassed, so he couldn't help but act like a brat, saying, "Whether I'm still green or not, you'll only know after you try me."
As soon as he finished speaking, he reached out to lift Yi Tianran's chin.
The next second, Yi Tianran's eyes sharpened, and she grabbed his two fingers and twisted them hard.
"Ah—" The boy's face turned deathly pale, as if he heard the sound of bones cracking.
Yi Tianran's icy warning rang out immediately, "Just talk, don't lay a hand on me, unless you don't want your hands anymore, understand?"
The boy was in so much pain that he was sweating profusely and begged for mercy, "I...I was wrong, I'll never do it again, please let me go—"
Yi Tianran released her grip with a cold laugh.
The boy staggered back two steps, hearing a gasp behind him. He felt extremely humiliated and blurted out, "So what if she's a used woman? What's so great about her! She only followed me because I was a rich kid, but now that she's hooked up with someone even richer, she dumped me immediately. I must have been blind to have fallen for a slut like you."
As soon as he said this, all the passersby turned to look at him.
She glanced at the young man, then at Yi Tianran across from him.
Anyone with a discerning eye could immediately tell that she was decked out in designer brands.
A passerby immediately concluded, "Tsk tsk, women these days really don't know how to love themselves at all, because they can make money off men just by relying on their looks."
"Look at that bag she's carrying, it's a brand new Hermès bag this season, didn't she make a fortune?"
"So being good-looking means you can do whatever you want? It's such a pity for this handsome young man, he's been ruined by this gold digger."
"..."
Listening to the crowd's discussion, the boy felt incredibly happy, and even the pain in his fingers seemed to fade.
He glanced at Yi Tianran defiantly, only to meet her sharp, murderous gaze.
His heart skipped a beat, but he still forced a show of force. "What? You've been exposed, and you're getting angry?"
Before Yi Tianran could speak, Liu Meiling walked out from the crowd and said angrily, "Aren't you the one who's angry and ashamed? A disgusting worm who only knows how to think with his lower body, how dare you try to scam a rich and beautiful woman?"
You're the one who failed to pick up a girl and got a lecture from my rich and beautiful friend, yet you're slandering her reputation?
You passersby are really something. Haven't you ever seen a rich woman before? Just because a girl comes from a wealthy family, is beautiful, can afford designer clothes and drive a sports car, does that mean she's a gold digger?
