CHAPTER 120: CHAPTER 114: I BELIEVE YOU

Leng Yichen stood there, his usually clean and refined face unusually showing stubble, giving him the air of a mature man with a touch of ruggedness.

Bai Yiran hurriedly walked up to Leng Yichen, with expectation and sincerity in her eyes, "I know you must have heard something from Mr. Kang, that’s why you treated me like that! But please believe me! I didn’t do anything to betray you, that day Gu Manli tricked me into going, and after I drank a cup of tea I was completely weak, that Mr. Kang is a pervert, he hit me with a belt, the wounds on my arms were from struggling, he didn’t succeed! Bai Qiantong saved me, Bai Qiantong is my half-brother! He saved me, I was really at the hospital when you called me..."

Bai Yiran’s incoherent explanation was abruptly cut short as Leng Yichen pulled her into a tight embrace.

Leng Yichen had never resented himself as much as he did now, he should have believed Bai Yiran, he should have controlled his anger that day, he should have returned earlier to hear Bai Yiran’s explanation, he should have answered Bai Yiran’s call,

Falling into the familiar embrace, Bai Yiran’s tears flowed like a floodburst, "I didn’t mean to hide it from you, Gu Manli threatened me with a photo of my mother, the person in the photo isn’t me, it’s my mom... it’s my mom who passed away many years ago..."

Bai Yiran’s shoulders shook with sobs, her small figure hung her head dejectedly, angry at her own simplicity and naivety, making her seem like a fool!

Leng Yichen felt as if his heart was gripped painfully by a big hand, "I know, I know the person in the photo isn’t you, I knew from the first glance at that photo it wasn’t you! I believe everything you said, it’s my fault, I shouldn’t have treated you that way! Will you forgive me, girl? I’ll handle this matter, didn’t you tell your uncle? Leave it to me, I won’t let you suffer any grievances again!"

Leng Yichen was like an enraged lion, prepared to show his sharp claws to protect the lioness of his territory!

Gu Manli was in a good mood today, feeling delighted as she watched the overwhelming news tarnishing Bai Yiran’s name.

She couldn’t believe that Leng Yichen wouldn’t mind this incident, with his newlywed wife exposed in scandalous photos, and not even in his bed, Gu Manli couldn’t believe any man would tolerate that.

In the mall, Gu Manli took a liking to a dress worth tens of thousands, perhaps because of her good mood, she felt irresistible beauty while trying it on, and without a second thought, she prepared to buy it. However, at the checkout, she discovered all her cards were frozen! Her credit cards were all supplementary cards under Bai Hongguang, and even her savings card was a co-signed card with Bai Hongguang, with all her cards frozen now, it meant no one else could have done this except Bai Hongguang.

Gu Manli had never been more embarrassed, she threw down the dress in a rage and rushed to Bai Hongguang’s company, storming into the office recklessly, only to see someone unexpected there.

Leng Yichen!

Leng Yichen sat nobly on the sofa, calmly staring at Bai Hongguang, flanked by Wang Hai and two lawyers.

Bai Hongguang, feeling uneasy under Leng Yichen’s gaze, without a word, raised his hand and delivered a hard slap on Gu Manli’s still charming face.
