Chapter 119: Verbal sparring
Because of Chu Siran's words, Lin Yilan fell into deep thought. No one knew what she was thinking, whether she was wondering whether Chu Siran's words were correct, or whether she was thinking about her relationship with Huo Juncheng.
The three of them were silent for a long time before Lin Yilan said playfully, "What should I do now? I can't just watch your mother force Chu Xi to be with Huo Juncheng."
"Of course not! The spy I sent to my mother told me that my worrying mother made another appointment with Huo Juncheng at noon today. I guess she didn't succeed a few days ago, so this time she still wants Chu Xi to replace you and become Huo Juncheng's fiancée."
"We can't let them succeed." At least while Lin Yilan is still Huo Juncheng's fiancée, Chu Xi can't succeed. These days, thanks to Chu Siran's guidance, she has gradually seen through what kind of person Chu Xi is.
She had always thought Chu Xi was a kind and good person. She taught her how to put on makeup, how to dress, and always cared about her. Although her relationship with Huo Juncheng was always unclear, she didn't care too much at the time.
Only now did she gradually understand Chu Xi. To use a term that is now popular in the city, this is called... White Lotus? Yes, yes, it is called White Lotus.
Therefore, she couldn't let Chu Xi succeed, even if she was now the daughter of the Chu family. She was not afraid. Lin Yilan took Chu Siran's arm and walked out, completely ignoring Zheng Ronglan's presence.
Zheng Ronglan felt a little helpless when she realized she was being ignored, but she wasn't angry. Then she silently worried about Huo Juncheng. Alas, she hoped Huo Juncheng wouldn't make any decisions he shouldn't have.
…
Although Chu Siran had just had a fight with her mother not long ago and even threatened to sever ties with the Chu family and never have any contact with them again, the servants still greeted her respectfully when they saw Chu Siran coming back.
"My mom invited Huo Juncheng here today, right? Are they in the living room or having dinner now?" Chu Siran returned to the Chu family again. Instead of feeling disappointed, she felt a little happy. After all, she would have a face-to-face confrontation with Chu Xi again, and this time she was guaranteed to torture her to death.
"To answer my lady, they should still be talking in the living room."
Hearing the servant say this, Chu Siran pulled Lin Yilan directly to the living room: "Okay, this time I'll let them see how powerful we are. Yilan, don't be a coward later. Whoever is cowardly is a puppy, understand?"
Hearing Chu Siran say this, Lin Yilan couldn't help laughing: "Okay, whoever is a coward is a puppy, I will never let your mother's plan succeed, but..."
Lin Yilan paused here. Chu Siran looked at Lin Yilan, somewhat curious about what she wanted to say.
Lin Yilan smiled playfully and said, "But I'm ruining your mother's plan. As a daughter... I always feel that I don't give face to my friend's mother. This logic is a bit weird."
Hearing this, Chu Siran laughed: "Yilan, you are so cute. That also depends on what my mother wants to do. If she does something else, let alone you, I will definitely support her with all my strength. But now, she is letting that Chu Xi replace you and become Huo Juncheng's fiancée. What kind of plan is this!?"
"This is a plan that will not succeed, so we have to destroy it now." After Lin Yilan said this, she pulled Chu Siran and walked quickly towards the living room. Because she had been there once, she also knew the location of the Chu family's living room.
Moreover, influenced by Chu Siran's mood, she was also a little excited now. She had no sense of crisis about Huo Juncheng being taken away. Instead, she felt more like Chu Siran, the pleasure of abusing Chu Xi.
"Oh my god, why did you bring Huo Juncheng to our house again? Do you have any business to discuss with the Huo family recently? You don't have to invite Huo Juncheng to your home. Otherwise, you can just tell me that Yilan and I are good friends. Let Yilan talk to Huo Juncheng, and no matter what the business is, it will definitely be successful."
As soon as Chu Siran saw her mother, she started to mock her. She was a little surprised to see Chu Siran, but when she saw Chu Siran holding Lin Yilan's arm, her face fell. Why did her daughter always cause trouble for her?
Before Chu's mother could say anything, Chu Xi beside her spoke up: "Why did my sister come back today, and brought Yilan with her? Is there something wrong?"
Chu Xi's words were quite clever. Why did Chu Siran have to come back only when something happened? She really considered herself a member of the Chu family. This was something she could do. And she usually called Lin Yilan "Madam," but now, she didn't even call her "Madam." Did she really think she could replace Lin Yilan?
Lin Yilan didn't get angry when she heard Chu Xi's words. Instead, she turned her gaze to Huo Juncheng and said, "Actually, there's nothing wrong. I just came to see him."
"Looking for me?" Huo Juncheng was a little stunned when he heard Lin Yilan say this.
"Why else would I come to the Chu family? Do you really think I'm here as a guest?" Lin Yilan saw Huo Juncheng's expression and retorted directly.
Then, Lin Yilan said to Chu's mother, "I heard that Mrs. Chu wanted to hold a press conference to announce Chu Xi's identity these days, but Siran doesn't seem to agree with this. Moreover, there is also a lot of controversy within your Chu family's company about this matter. Why are you so anxious?"
"This matter is our Chu family's business. Whether there is any internal dispute within the company is also our company's internal matter. Miss Lin, please don't worry about it."
"Okay, I don't care about your company's affairs." Lin Yilan paused and continued, "But I heard that Mrs. Chu has been trying to find a husband for Chu Xi recently, right?"
"This is my own business. You don't need to worry about it, right?" This time, Chu Xi on the side took over Lin Yilan's words.
"It's indeed your private matter, and I have no interest in asking about it. Mainly, I heard that Madam Chu was deliberately tying the knot to get Huo Juncheng and Chu Xi together. I wonder if this is true or not?"
Although Lin Yilan spoke with a relaxed air, her eyes were incredibly sharp. She looked at Mrs. Chu, waiting for her next words. After hearing this question, Mrs. Chu didn't even have time to react and froze in place.
It took him a long time to react, but at this moment Lin Yilan had already sat next to Huo Juncheng, took the tea set beside her, poured herself a cup of tea, and savored it carefully.
"So what? Even if you are Huo Juncheng's fiancée, you two haven't gotten married yet, right? And do you really think a country girl like you is worthy of Huo Juncheng?"
Chu's mother didn't want to pretend anymore, and directly told Lin Yilan her purpose. Lin Yilan didn't expect Chu's mother to admit it so readily. She glanced at Chu Xi and smiled slightly.
"You say I'm not worthy of Huo Juncheng? Haha, then how can you think your good daughter Chu Xi is worthy of Huo Juncheng?"
Hearing Lin Yilan's words, Chu Siran, who had been silent for a long time, also responded: "That's what I said, she is just a bar girl. You want to recognize her as the daughter of the Chu family and make the Chu family a joke, but the Huo family has no reason to accompany you."
