Chapter 134: Encounter in the Store
After what happened last time, although Chu Siran was unable to stop Chu Xi's engagement, her mood was not so bad because of Huo Juncheng's guidance.
However, because Zheng Ronglan went to the Chu family to find Chu Siran in a high-profile manner last time, and because the two of them had a scandal in the past, the relationship between the two is now widely rumored.
But Chu Siran didn't think it was a big deal. On the contrary, she felt that the scandal with Zheng Ronglan was much more pleasing to the eye than the previous gossip.
Lin Yilan originally thought that after what happened last time, Huo Juncheng would no longer send her bodyguards. However, Huo Juncheng not only actually found her a 16-man bodyguard corps, but also...
He also hired the group of bodyguards that Zheng Ronglan had originally brought to the Chu family, saying that if Lin Yilan beat up these bodyguards, he would let that group take their place.
Lin Yilan couldn't help but hold her forehead when she heard that. It seemed that Huo Juncheng was determined to send bodyguards for her. It wasn't that she had a violent streak and didn't want to beat up those bodyguards. She thought that if she beat back two of them, Huo Juncheng would not send anyone for her.
Who would have thought that Huo Juncheng would directly assign her a bodyguard army? Since that was the case, she could only accept this fact. Huo Juncheng knew that Lin Yilan was bored staying at home, so he specially allowed Lin Yilan to go out and play. However, when she went out to play, the bodyguards followed her like a shadow.
Although Lin Yilan was still not very satisfied with the result, she was very content compared to staying in the Huo family's house without going out.
Lin Yilan and Chu Siran were walking on the street, followed by a large group of bodyguards. It was a unique scene no matter how you looked at it. Chu Siran looked back at the bodyguards and felt a little embarrassed.
"Can't you just ask them to stop following you? It's just a stroll, why would Huo Juncheng send so many bodyguards?"
Lin Yilan shrugged helplessly. Except when she went to Ocean University for classes, these bodyguards followed her the rest of the time. Although she still couldn't adapt to it, there was no such good way to adapt.
The two of them walked into a clothing store. Chu Siran saw a light yellow dress and walked over directly. "Yilan, what do you think of this dress?"
Lin Yilan looked in the direction Chu Siran extended his hand. The dress was exquisitely cut. The color was not bright, but it was not dull either. It was Chu Siran's style.
"I think it's fine. It will look good on you."
"Do you want one too? We can wear sister outfits together." Chu Siran said, without waiting for Lin Yilan's reaction, he reached out and took two dresses and stuffed one into Lin Yilan's arms.
Lin Yilan looked at the dress that suddenly appeared in her hands. She refused to wear the dress, but because of Chu Siran's enthusiasm, she couldn't refuse.
"I'm not used to wearing a skirt... and it's not easy to perform martial arts. How about forgetting it?"
Although it was difficult to refuse, she still refused to wear a skirt.
Hearing Lin Yilan say this, Chu Siran curled her lips and said, "It doesn't matter. Every girl needs a few beautiful dresses. What's more, with a figure like Yilan, it would be a pity not to wear a skirt."
Seeing that Lin Yilan was still a little reluctant, Chu Siran added, "Besides, you have so many bodyguards following you now, you don't even need to do anything."
"Oh well."
The two of them browsed through almost all the clothes in the clothing store. Of course, Chu Siran was the one who made most of the choices, while Lin Yilan was just passively accepting them.
However, Chu Siran was still very considerate of Lin Yilan's dressing style and specially helped her choose a few suits that were not too conspicuous. When Chu Siran was about to pick up a yellow and white dress, his other hand took the dress away in advance.
"Li Mu, what do you think of this dress?"
Chu Siran looked along the clothes, and sure enough, it was Chu Xi, the person she didn't want to see at all. She was already disgusted by the sight of her, but this woman actually went up to provoke her and snatched the clothes she liked!
"Chu Xi, I was the one who saw this dress first. What do you mean?"
After hearing Chu Siran say this, Chu Xi shifted his gaze to Chu Siran, his eyes full of surprise, as if he had just noticed Chu Siran.
"Why are you here too, little sister? I'm sorry I didn't notice you earlier."
Although Chu Xi was talking to Chu Siran, his eyes never left the clothes, and it was obvious that he wanted to snatch the clothes from Chu Siran.
Chu Siran's heart knot had not been untied because of the last engagement party, and now Chu Xi was actually rushing to provoke her. She really wanted to go up and slap Chu Xi a few times.
After Chu Xi finished speaking, she didn't even look at Chu Siran, and went straight to the fitting room with the clothes. When she came out, she was wearing that dress.
"Li Mu, what do you think of me wearing this dress?"
Li Mu nodded blankly after hearing Chu Xi's words: "Very beautiful, in fact, you look good in any clothes. Is there anything else you like? Let's go to a restaurant after shopping. I have made a reservation at a very famous Western restaurant nearby."
Chu Xi looked at Chu Siran who was rolling his eyes at her in the mirror and smiled smugly, "Sister, please give me this dress. I don't think it suits you either."
Without waiting for Chu Siran to respond, Chu Xi continued, "Besides, I'm about to get married now, so I can't compare with you. You still have youth to enjoy, but I need to pay more attention to myself in order to win the heart of my future husband."
When Chu Siran heard Chu Xi say this, he couldn't help but curl his lips. It's just an engagement, isn't it just getting married soon? Look at how capable she is, she really thinks she has entered the upper class.
"Why should I give it to you? You know I was the first one to see this dress. Don't you know that this is the most basic courtesy?"
Li Mu, who was standing by, couldn't bear to watch this anymore. "Siran, it's just a dress. Look, Xixi is wearing it now, and it looks so beautiful. Don't argue with her. Take a look at other clothes. If you like any of them, I'll pay for them for you, okay?"
As soon as Li Mu said this, Chu Siran really wanted to go up and beat him up. He was Chu Xi's fiancé, so it was certain that he would stand on Chu Xi's side. But what kind of logic was this? Just because Chu Xi was dressed beautifully, he should give her the right to wear it?
pretty?
How could she not think it looked good? A hostess who spent her days wandering around in the world of fame and fortune was not worthy of such a simple and elegant dress. If Chu Xi was not competing with her, Chu Siran felt that Chu Xi would definitely not look down on such clothes.
"Don't you understand the principle of first come, first served? We chose this dress, why should we give it to you? Miss Chu Xi, please take off the dress and return it to us."
Lin Yilan came out of the fitting room and saw this scene. She stood by and listened for a while, and finally understood what was going on.
Although it was just a piece of clothing, Chu Siran insisted on having it, and Lin Yilan would never let her friend suffer.
