Chapter 110: It's Hard to Defend Against Hidden Arrows
Chu Siran returned home and found that everything was just as she had imagined. She hadn't expected her mother to be so quick to take Chu Xi home right away? Didn't her father have any objections?
"Mom, what does this mean?"
"Chu Xi is your sister. There's nothing wrong with bringing her back. Your attitude is a bit too much."
"You said she's a Chu family member, so she is a Chu family member? I'm telling you, I absolutely disagree with this. Either she or I, or I or she. Think about it yourself."
Chu Siran glanced at Chu Xi who was sitting next to the tea table. Half of her hair was hanging down, and her expression could not be seen clearly. However, her quiet look made her look like an abandoned child who had been wandering outside for many years.
Tsk tsk, who is she pretending to be with? Wasn't it the time when she and Chu Siran were arguing in the hospital? Chu Siran got angry when he saw her and couldn't calm down at all.
"Think carefully. Do you want a daughter you've watched grow up, or this dissolute woman of unknown origin? Although I'm not always honest, I won't bring shame to the Chu family. As for her..."
"Chu Siran, you'd better quit while you're ahead. I don't want to argue with you. Chu Xi is your sister, and that's an indisputable fact."
An indisputable fact? Oh, what an indisputable fact! Okay, in that case, why not just leave? "Okay, just don't regret it." Chu Siran said, and without waiting for anyone's reaction, he turned around and left.
The more she thought about it, the more irritated she became. She had originally agreed with her drinking buddies to get drunk today, but now, she really wasn't in the mood at all.
Forget it, she should go find Lin Yilan. But Chu Siran forgot that Lin Yilan is currently teaching at Ocean University, and there is no one at the Huo family. Sigh.
…
Lin Yilan had discovered that there was something wrong with the state of her students. Usually they were so lively, but now they looked like they hadn't woken up yet, which really gave her a headache.
"I'm saying, do you guys play games together every night? Look at you all, you have dark circles under your eyes, almost as big as a panda. Don't you have any idea what you should do now?"
This group of students certainly know the importance of their studies to them. They have studied hard for so many years just to be able to find a decent job. Many of them come from ordinary families.
Unlike those second-generation progenitors, even if they have nothing, they can still inherit their father's company with peace of mind. It is precisely because their studies and student status are too important to them, so when they encounter these things, they can only choose to remain silent.
Today, Huo Juncheng came to pick up Lin Yilan as usual. Lin Yilan did not wait for Huo Juncheng in the office today because she received a call from Chu Siran early in the morning, saying that Chu Siran wanted to stay at the Huo family for two days.
Lin Yilan strolled leisurely across the university campus, basking in the perfect sunshine, her mood brightening. She noticed Huo Juncheng's car parked not far away, and when she saw him get out of his car, she suddenly got playful and wanted to scare him.
Lin Yilan deliberately hid in the bushes nearby, waiting for Huo Juncheng to pass by and then surprise him. Lin Yilan thought it would be fun to think about how Huo Juncheng would be frightened by her.
She moved further into the bushes and suddenly found something strange. Lin Yilan looked closely and saw a simple crossbow with a leaking plastic bottle attached to it.
When the water in the plastic bottle slowly drips, the crossbow will shoot out. Who is so bored as to set up such boring things here? Lin Yilan pulled out the arrow and played with it in her hand.
She initially thought it was a prank by some students, so she didn't take it seriously. However, she noticed the sharpness of the arrow, which didn't seem like a prank. If someone got hurt, even if it wasn't fatal, they would have to stay in the hospital for a month.
Lin Yilan watched Huo Juncheng approaching without thinking any more and prepared to scare him. Just as she was about to jump out to scare him, she noticed something suddenly flew out from the bushes to the left of Huo Juncheng.
Lin Yilan took a closer look. Oh no! It was an arrow! And it was exactly the same as the one she had just been playing with. Lin Yilan jumped directly, using her powerful Qinggong advantage to jump directly to Huo Juncheng's left, blocking the arrow.
Huo Juncheng had not yet reacted to what had just happened. When he saw Lin Yilan suddenly appear beside him, his brows frowned. Then he saw the arrow in Lin Yilan's hand and was stunned.
"Do you still have hidden weapons in your school?"
"Who knows what this is? It's probably a prank by some bored person. Are you okay?"
Hearing Lin Yilan's concern, Huo Juncheng raised his eyebrows: "With you here, how could I get hurt?"
"Oh, it's a good thing I'm here, otherwise I'm not sure what the consequences would be." Lin Yilan was a little scared, patted her chest, and prayed to calm down.
Then he continued, "Luckily, I received a call from Siran today. I was anxious to see her, so I didn't wait for you in the office. I was able to help you block the arrow. So, you should thank Siran."
"You saved me, why should I thank her? Also, why did she call you again? What did she want you to do? Was she going to the bar again?"
Huo Juncheng said this, and he put his hand on Lin Yilan's waist. Lin Yilan hadn't reacted to the situation just now and didn't notice Huo Juncheng's actions at all. Moreover, she was very dissatisfied with Huo Juncheng's last words.
"Why go to a bar? Siran had a fight with her mother and wanted to stay at your house for two days. I figured the villa was so big and it would be useless if it was empty, so I agreed."
"What do you mean by 'your family'? You are my, Huo Juncheng's fiancée, and even you are a member of the Huo family." Lin Yilan felt a little embarrassed by what Huo Juncheng said.
Although she has always been Huo Juncheng's fiancée, she has always felt that even so, she may not really marry Huo Juncheng. After all, the relationship between the two of them was initially bound by interests.
Although their relationship was developing in a better direction, she had not seriously sorted out their relationship, so when she heard Huo Juncheng say that, she blushed.
"The Huo family isn't a shelter. Chu Siran and the Chu family just had a quarrel. Why should they take her in? As the eldest daughter of the Chu family, doesn't she have anywhere else to go?"
"Huo Juncheng, I notice that you are quite hostile towards Siran. What did she do to you that makes you dislike her so much?" Lin Yilan asked the question she had always wanted to ask.
She really couldn't understand why Huo Juncheng was so hostile to Chu Siran. At first, she thought it was just her illusion, until later she found that every word the two of them spoke was really full of thorns.
On one hand, there was her nominal fiancé, and on the other hand, there was her best friend. Lin Yilan was caught between the two, and she always felt a little torn.
