Chapter 224: Deliberate Visit

Lin Yilan had a big fight with Huo Juncheng yesterday, and she felt a little embarrassed, but she couldn't lose face. She was just shopping with Chu Siran, and Huo Juncheng directly asked Gao Long and Gao Hu to pick her up, which was really a bit of a fuss.

I had planned to discuss this matter with Huo Juncheng in the morning, but Huo Juncheng had something urgent to do at the company, so I went to the company without even having breakfast.

Lin Yilan sat alone in the Huo family's restaurant in a daze, watching Sister Xiu busying around. Lin Yilan had no appetite to begin with, and after learning that Huo Juncheng was gone, she felt even less like eating.

Lin Yilan opened her cell phone out of boredom. Yesterday, when she returned to her room and calmed down, she felt that what she had said to Huo Juncheng was indeed a bit harsh.

Huo Juncheng usually didn't ask her to change anything. After being in the Huo family for so long, Lin Yilan had always done her own thing, and Huo Juncheng didn't care about her. Even when she went to a banquet, Huo Juncheng never asked anything of her in order to take care of her mood.

Perhaps Huo Juncheng said that yesterday because he felt that she had finally shown interest in these business knowledge and didn't want her to give up just like that. However, didn't Huo Juncheng know that what he said yesterday was really too much?

Lin Yilan stirred the bowl of porridge in front of her, but she had no appetite at all. At this time, Chu Siran sent a message: "Yilan, what are you doing now? Are you up? Will you accompany me to visit the Li Group today?"

Seeing the message from Chu Siran, Lin Yilan felt a little confused and slowly typed out a string of words, "Isn't the Li family's banquet tonight? Why go to the Li Group now?"

Lin Yilan stared at the screen of her mobile phone, waiting for news from Chu Siran. At this moment, Chu Siran called directly. Lin Yilan answered the call and heard Chu Siran speaking complacently on the other end of the phone.

"What else can I do? Of course I have to accept the apology from Mr. Li. Since the Li family is so sincere, I can't let such a good opportunity go to waste. Maybe I can even give Li Mu and Chu Xi a good beating."

"But I'm having breakfast now."

"Then don't eat anymore. I'm already on my way to Huo's house. I'll be there in ten minutes. Come with me to eat outside later. Got it?"

Hearing Chu Siran say this, Lin Yilan responded. Knowing that Chu Siran was driving, for safety reasons, Lin Yilan did not say anything else to Chu Siran. She didn't really want to eat breakfast at the moment, so eating with Chu Siran was a good choice.

…

"Siran, didn't you say that the Li family invited us to the banquet this time just to express their apology to us? Then why did they invite us to the Li Group this morning?"

Lin Yilan looked at the tall building in front of her and had to say that the Li family was developing very rapidly here. In just a few short months, they had become a well-known figure here.

"I guess the old man of the Li family felt that his apology tonight was insincere, so he expressed his apology to us this morning. I have to say, I really like this way of doing things. If Li Mu had his father's half-day realization, I would think he was much more lovable."

Although the Li family's current status is not as high as the Huo family's, it has far surpassed the Chu family. When Chu Xi and Li Mu were together, people still talked about the Li family climbing up the Chu family. Although Chu Xi's previous status was not particularly glorious.

But profit comes first, and everything else is trivial. It's just that now that the Li family is growing bigger and bigger, more and more people are gossiping about Li Mu and Chu Xi. What's more, some even say that Li Mu will definitely dump Chu Xi, the hostess, before the two of them get married.

The old man of the Li family had always been opposed to his son marrying such a woman. If it weren't for the fact that the Li family had just started to develop here and needed a little support from the Chu family, he would never have allowed Li Mu to get engaged to Chu Xi.

Now that the Li family has established itself firmly, Mr. Li feels that it is time to curb this kind of gossip at the source.

The old man of the Li family looked at Chu Siran and Lin Yilan who came in, and a faint smile instantly appeared on his serious face. It was not humble or exaggerated, but made him seem more approachable.

"I've invited you two here today. I'm sure you both know why, right?"

As Chairman Li was speaking, his assistant came in with two cups of coffee and placed them in front of Lin Yilan and Chu Siran. Chu Siran picked up the coffee in front of him and took a sip.

"If Mr. Li is worried about our last collaboration, I don't think it's necessary. After all, the Li family's direct partner is Cass, not our milk tea shop. When we terminated our contract with Cass, we also terminated our contract with the Li family. If Mr. Li is worried that we might go back on our word, that's fine. After all, we're not the kind of business that lacks integrity."

Chu Siran knew that she came to the Li family this time to apologize to them, but she still made sarcastic remarks as if it was a big deal. Her words were obviously referring to the last time the Li family violated the contract.

"Why are you suddenly talking about terminating the contract? We've only just started working together, and I think the cooperation between our Li Group and your 'Yi Ran' chain store is very pleasant, isn't it?"

The old man of the Li family also understood Chu Siran's voice, but his expression did not change. The smile on the corner of his mouth was still on his face, and he looked kind.

"I don't feel happy about it. After all, the Li family has already violated the contract once. You also know that your youngest son and I don't get along..." Chu Siran chuckled at this point. "No, to be more precise, I have something to do with your Li family's daughter-in-law who hasn't married yet."

When Mr. Li heard Chu Siran say this, a slight crack finally appeared on his face. "I have indeed heard about the discord between the second and eldest daughters of the Chu family, but is your relationship still so bad now?"

"Could it be possible for me to reconcile with that woman after not seeing her for so long? I know that Mr. Li is a person who prioritizes profit. Even if he doesn't value profit in everything, he is someone who cares a lot about the outside world's evaluation. When your youngest son was engaged to Chu Xi, you didn't do anything to stop him. Wasn't that also for the sake of the Li family's development here?"

Old Master Li didn't expect Chu Siran to directly tell him his original plan, but seeing that Chu Siran looked nonchalant at the moment, he didn't have any extra expression.

The old man of the Li family didn't try to find any words to say, and didn't say anything, which was considered as acquiescence. Chu Siran looked at the old man of the Li family and smiled. She knew that there was no way that the old man of the Li family would acquiesce to Chu Xi being his daughter-in-law.
