Chapter 130: Unexplained Engagement
Chu Xi was getting engaged, so normally, Lin Yilan would not be in the mood to come here. However, since she hadn't seen Chu Siran for the past two days, she came here with Huo Juncheng.
Because she came with Huo Juncheng, the bodyguards did not follow her. Lin Yilan's mood improved a little because of this.
"Once we enter the venue, you will stay by my side and not go anywhere. Do you understand?"
Lin Yilan had originally thought about entering the Chu family and going to find Chu Siran, but Huo Juncheng seemed to have seen through her thoughts long ago. In order to prevent Huo Juncheng from increasing the number of bodyguards, Lin Yilan had no choice but to respond obediently.
"Huo Juncheng, do you know who Chu Xi is engaged to?"
Lin Yilan held Huo Juncheng's hand and looked at him with some curiosity.
"I heard he's the son of one of the Chu family's recent project partners. They knew each other before, which is why they got engaged so quickly. However... the details are probably only known within the Chu family."
After hearing this, Lin Yilan nodded indifferently. She had only asked casually, as to who Chu Xi was engaged to, what did it have to do with her.
The protagonist of the engagement party had not yet appeared. After Huo Juncheng entered the venue, he was entangled by various businessmen. Lin Yilan was standing aside, feeling even more bored.
Suddenly she found that Chu Siran was waving at her not far away. Chu Siran's leg had not yet recovered and he was still sitting in a wheelchair, so it was not convenient for him to come to her.
Huo Juncheng was talking to the businessmen at the moment and had no time to pay attention to her. So Lin Yilan ignored Huo Juncheng and went straight to find Chu Siran.
It was so hard that the bodyguards stopped following her, she had to make good use of this time.
"Siran, how's your leg injury? Is it still not healed? I've always wanted to come see you, but I don't know what Huo Juncheng was thinking. He sent a whole army of bodyguards to follow me, so I can't leave the Huo family at all."
After hearing this, Chu Siran finally resolved her doubts. She asked why Lin Yilan had never come to visit her. She thought something had happened to Lin Yilan. She could have gone to the Huo family to check on her, but because of her injury, Chu's mother also put her in solitary confinement.
She originally thought that being in solitary confinement was no big deal. After all, she wouldn't feel too bored just staying in her room playing games and chatting. But last night she was directly informed that Chu Xi was getting engaged and asked her to attend!
So the main reason for keeping her in solitary confinement these days, besides because Mother Chu was angry, was because they were afraid that she would disrupt Chu Xi's engagement party! Chu Siran got angry when she thought of this, but because of the Chu family's face, she couldn't ruin the engagement party now.
Chu Siran sighed and looked at Lin Yilan, feeling somewhat comforted by the presence of her friend. "It's nothing, it just hurts a little. I can actually stand up now, but I'm just too lazy to walk. Besides, I'm too lazy to wear high heels to attend Chu Xi's engagement party."
After hearing Chu Siran say this, Lin Yilan understood. It seemed that her initial worries were unnecessary.
"I'm glad you're alright. I just might not be able to go out with you these days. Those bodyguards in Huo Juncheng really... leave me speechless."
"What's going on? Why did he assign you a bodyguard? With your skills, do you really need a bodyguard?"
Lin Yilan glanced at Huo Juncheng not far away and felt that it would not be long before Huo Juncheng would notice her. Then she would have to stay by his side again, which would be meaningless.
Thinking of this, Lin Yilan walked behind Chu Siran and pushed her wheelchair. "To be on the safe side, let's talk somewhere else. I'm afraid Huo Juncheng will notice me soon."
Following Lin Yilan's gaze, Chu Siran also noticed Huo Juncheng not far away and nodded: "Go to my room, he will definitely not be able to find you."
So, in order to avoid Huo Juncheng, the two came to Chu Siran's room.
As soon as she entered the room, Chu Siran complained to Lin Yilan, "I'm telling you, Yilan, I never thought my mother would act so quickly and directly find an engagement partner for Chu Xi. Tsk tsk, she has never been so considerate to me."
"What? You want to get married too?" Lin Yilan joked after hearing Chu Siran's complaint.
"I'm not that anxious. I'm naturally beautiful, so there's no need to worry about Chu Xi. The main reason is that I really didn't expect my mother to put me in solitary confinement these days to prevent me from ruining Chu Xi's engagement party. I really thought it was because of my injured leg that made her angry. I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect it."
Looking at Chu Siran's pretending to be sad expression, Lin Yilan wanted to cooperate with her, but she couldn't help laughing out loud.
"Actually, I didn't expect Chu Xi to get engaged so soon. She used to tell me she liked Huo Juncheng, but now she's engaged to someone else..."
"Do you think she really likes Huo Juncheng? In fact, it's because the Huo family is rich. She probably likes the Huo family's money, otherwise she would be engaged to someone else so soon!"
Chu Siran said this, his tone full of disdain.
The two people were chatting and laughing in the house, and the banquet had already started in the hall outside.
Chu Xi was wearing a light pink evening gown, a girlish color that made her look petite and cute. Although everyone here knew Chu Xi's background and past.
But seeing her like this, they couldn't help but stare at her. They had to admit that Chu Xi was really pretty, and the kind of beauty that people would never forget after seeing her once.
The man Chu Xi was engaged to was the son of a real estate developer in City C. Although he was not as wealthy as the Chu family, he was doing quite well in City C.
I heard that the youngest son of the Li family had just returned from studying abroad, and the two had a love affair a few years ago, but because of Chu Xi's identity at the time, the Li family naturally did not want to be together. Later, because the youngest son of the Li family went to study abroad, the relationship ended.
I didn’t expect that the two of them are now engaged, and I didn’t expect that the youngest son of the Li family didn’t mind Chu Xi’s previous identity. Now that they meet, they actually get married directly.
While everyone was sighing, they also envied someone like Chu Xi, who could actually meet a man who liked her so much.
Watching Chu Xi walking towards the man with a slightly shy step, the man's eyes were full of tenderness, and he looked at Chu Xi as if he was admiring the most precious treasure in the world.
"You must be exhausted from preparing for the engagement party these past two days. I'll give you a massage tonight so you can relax."
The man leaned over to Chu Xi's ear and whispered with concern.
Chu Xi had never expected to meet the youngest son of the Li family again. At that time, Chu Xi was really with the youngest son of the Li family because of the Li family's money.
So later, when Li's mother gave her a check and asked her to leave him, she took the money and left the youngest son of the Li family, Li Mu, without saying a word.
However, because Li Mujianghao also went abroad at that time, he had no idea about this matter and always felt that he was sorry for Chu Xi.
