Chapter 118 Solving the Problem
Chu Siran had once said in a bar that she wanted Zheng Ronglan to be on the headlines with her. Whether it was intentional or not, she might have just said it casually last night, but the next day, the news that Zheng Ronglan had hugged Chu Siran into the hotel swept all major websites.
Although Chu Siran was usually a bit playful, she had never been in or out of a hotel with any man. But now that the media had reported on this, she was directly swept into the cusp of the storm.
"Siran, you are not really with Zheng Ronglan..." Although Lin Yilan doesn't usually watch the news, she also knew about this matter when Sister Xiu mentioned it casually during breakfast today.
"Do you think I'm that kind of person? I drank too much yesterday, so I don't remember exactly what happened, but I definitely didn't have sex with Jung Yong-ram... He just dropped me off at the hotel."
"I don't believe that you two are really together, but what should we do now? Have you considered holding a press conference to clarify things?" Lin Yilan was a little worried about Chu Siran, and took the initiative to start giving advice.
Before Chu Siran could answer Lin Yilan, she heard Zheng Ronglan's voice: "Oh my Miss Chu, what you said at the bar yesterday was really insightful. Have you figured out what to do?"
Lin Yilan was a little surprised to see Zheng Ronglan approaching. But it made sense. Chu Siran and Zheng Ronglan were the two protagonists in this matter, so the solution to the problem was best discussed by the two of them.
"I don't know what to do. Holding a press conference probably won't be very helpful. After all, those reporters are only interested in the excitement of the story. Few of them actually care about the truth of the matter."
"If you ask me, you should just take advantage of the situation. Now your mother's plan to make Chu Xi's identity public can be postponed. Anyway, the longer it can be delayed, the better."
Zheng Ronglan was quite open-minded. Although he had always been a clean man and had never been involved in such a scandal, he seemed to think it was nothing because the heroine was Chu Siran. He thought that being able to use this incident to help Chu Siran was actually a good thing.
"Don't you blame me? If I hadn't been drunk and held you tightly, I wouldn't have let you get involved in this kind of thing." Although Zheng Ronglan acted as if he didn't care, Chu Siran still felt a little embarrassed.
"What's the big deal? Besides, I'm a boy. If something like this happens, you're the one who'll suffer. If you don't mind, why should I mind? How about playing along with you? If you can, I can put on a good show with you, but after that, you have to be my little follower for a month."
Chu Siran was originally touched by what Zheng Ronglan said earlier, but after hearing his subsequent request, Chu Siran shook her head helplessly. What a vengeful man he was, he actually asked her to be his little follower.
But she thought Zheng Ronglan's idea was really good. She would just be his follower. After all, there would be plenty of opportunities to take revenge on him in the future. Chu Siran thought so and responded cheerfully:
"Okay, I'll do as you say." Chu Siran brushed off his previous annoyance, walked up to Zheng Ronglan, and patted him on the shoulder. "Then I wish us a happy cooperation and ruin my mother's plan as soon as possible."
Seeing that the two of them had reached a consensus so quickly, Lin Yilan smiled helplessly. She picked up the cake on the table, took a bite, and savored it carefully.
"Since your problem has been solved, I won't worry about it anymore. You guys can chat slowly. I'm going to attend classes at Ocean University."
Hearing that Lin Yilan was about to leave, Chu Siran quickly stopped her: "Don't, didn't you agree to take a day off to accompany me today? Why are you leaving so soon? This is a bit unfair."
"The problems have been solved, why should I stay here?" In fact, Lin Yilan really wanted to add "I don't want to be a light bulb", but she just muttered it in her heart and didn't say it out loud.
"My problem is solved, but your problem is not."
My problem? What's my problem? Lin Yilan couldn't help but feel a little confused. "Siran, what do you mean?"
Chu Siran knew that Lin Yilan didn't understand what he meant, so he smiled mischievously and left no suspense: "Do you remember my mother called Huo Juncheng a few days ago?"
Hearing this, Lin Yilan nodded. Of course she remembered this incident. At that time, Chu's mother had ridiculed her and made her angry. But why did she bring this up suddenly?
Seeing Lin Yilan's puzzled expression, Chu Siran felt a little disappointed: "Yilan, do you really think my mother went to Huo Juncheng just to thank him?"
When asked by Chu Siran, Lin Yilan was a little stunned: "Isn't it?"
"Oh my Yilan, I thought you knew what was going on. My mom wanted Huo Juncheng and Chu Xi to be together so that Chu Xi's identity as a hostess could be covered up. I'm surprised you didn't know her plan."
Looking at Chu Siran's helpless expression, Lin Yilan's face was expressionless except for surprise. She really thought that Chu's mother was looking for Huo Juncheng simply to thank him for helping her find her daughter, but she didn't expect that there was another purpose.
"But Grandma Huo has long announced to the outside world that I am Huo Juncheng's...fiancée." Lin Yilan felt a little embarrassed when she said that she was Huo Juncheng's fiancée. Although she had always been Huo Juncheng's fiancée, she had never had time to change her feelings towards Huo Juncheng.
After hearing Lin Yilan say this, Chu Siran couldn't think of any other adjectives to describe his friend except that she was simple.
"Yilan, even if you really marry Huo Juncheng, there will be many people who miss him, not to mention that you are just his fiancée now. Don't think that this circle is simple, there are still many things you can't imagine."
"Not really. There's no need to think of this circle as too dirty." Zheng Ronglan, who was standing by, heard Chu Siran's words and interrupted.
However, Chu Siran didn't appreciate it and quickly retorted, "Although we can't generalize, we definitely can't be too naive. Take you and me for example. You just sent me back to the hotel, and you were the subject of after-dinner gossip by the ignorant onlookers. Do you think we can exist in this circle with a kind heart?"
After being told this by Chu Siran, Zheng Ronglan was speechless. He knew that people should not think that the world was too scary, but sometimes the world really was that scary.
However, Chu Siran was at a carefree age, when he should have been having fun without worrying about the consequences, but he was so cunning.
I never thought that she seemed so carefree and indifferent to everything. It turned out that it wasn't because she didn't know anything, but because she knew everything and saw things more clearly than anyone else.
Facing Chu Siran like this, Zheng Ronglan didn't know whether to admire him or feel distressed.
