The Girl Who Married a Tycoon Husband After Disfigurement

Chapter 54

From her pocket, Ling Yue took out another bank card and handed it to the staff member.

The staff member accepted it and was about to swipe the card.

"Yue Yue, let your cousin pay for this," Lan Ji and Qin Lie walked in.

Zhou Mucheng saw them and quietly took a few steps back, trying to minimize his presence.

"No need, I'll swipe my own card. I have money," Ling Yue gestured to the staff member to swipe her card.

Lan Ji stepped forward, snatched the bank card from the staff member's hand, and handed his own card to the staff member instead. "Swipe mine."

He held the bank card in front of Ling Yue. "Be good, let your cousin pay. Otherwise, your cousin will get upset."

Ling Yue could only put her card away reluctantly. As for the money Lan Ji paid for her, she would find a way to pay him back.

Lan Ji revealed a happy smile, took the bank card and the painting from the staff member, and handed them to Ling Yue. "Keep them."

Qin Lie had been observing Ling Yue. The more he looked at her, the more he felt that she resembled his Yue'er, both in her innate noble air and her eyes, which seemed so familiar to him. Could she be his Yue'er?

His heart raced uncontrollably. Qin Lie struggled to control his emotions, his urge to approach her. But he dared not, fearing that she was not Yue'er, fearing that she had forgotten him.

Ling Yue naturally noticed Qin Lie's gaze. Now she was completely certain that Qin Lie was the man who had wronged her in their previous life.

"Brother, is that man really Ling Yue's cousin?" Song Yanxue pointed at Lan Ji, who was talking to Ling Yue, feeling resentful. Wasn't Ling Yue an orphan? How could she have such a wealthy cousin? Moreover, she had just seen Ling Yue's cousin arrive with Qin Lie, and their relationship seemed close.

"Your cousin is helping you get justice," Lan Ji ruffled Ling Yue's hair and turned his cold gaze towards Song Yanxue. "Miss Song, have you been bullying my sister repeatedly because you think she has no one to rely on and is easy to bully?"

Song Yanxue clutched Song Ziyuan's clothes in fear, hiding behind him.

Lan Ji sneered disdainfully. "Let me tell you, if you bully my sister again, I won't hesitate to hit you, even if you're a woman. As for the Song family, I won't spare them either. I always keep my word."

"On behalf of my sister, I apologize to Miss Ling! This won't happen again," Song Ziyuan promised. Although he didn't know Lan Ji's identity, anyone who could be with Qin Lie couldn't be an ordinary person.

Lan Ji wagged his finger. "My sister won't accept your apology. She needs to apologize herself." His finger pointed at Song Yanxue.

Song Yanxue trembled. "Brother!"

"If you've made a mistake, you should apologize. Otherwise, I'll talk to the head of the Song family," Qin Lie's cold voice rang out.

Song Ziyuan, Song Yanxue, Zhou Mucheng, and Lan Ji were all stunned. Qin Lie was actually helping Ling Yue speak up. They must have misheard.

A look of understanding flashed in Ling Yue's eyes. This man seemed to have recognized her.

Qin Lie took a step forward, standing beside Ling Yue. The faint fragrance from her body made his heart beat even faster. His deep eyes brimmed with excitement. "Aren't you going to apologize?" She was Yue'er, his Yue'er. In this life, he would cherish and love her properly, never letting go of her hand again.

Ling Yue took two steps to the side, keeping her distance from Qin Lie. In their previous life, he had stabbed her with a sword without hesitation. In this life, she would never forgive him.

"Brother..." Song Yanxue trembled all over, truly afraid now.

"Apologize," Song Ziyuan pulled Song Yanxue out from behind him. He finally understood why the Ling family had fallen to their current state. Qin Lie was not someone the Song family could provoke.

Song Yanxue bit her lip, her eyes filled with humiliated tears. "I'm sorry..." This was the first time she felt so wronged, but she had no choice. She couldn't afford to offend Qin Lie.

"Didn't you eat?" Qin Lie's dissatisfied voice rang out.

Song Yanxue shuddered in fear, about to apologize again, but saw Ling Yue turn and walk away.

Ling Yue hadn't spared Qin Lie a single glance from start to finish. Even if she wanted to get justice, she didn't want that wretched man to do it for her.

"Yue Yue," Lan Ji hurried to follow her.

"No next time," Qin Lie left those words and went after them. He knew Yue'er had recognized him too, and that she was ignoring him because of what had happened in their previous life. But he wouldn't give up.
