Chapter 138: Full of Conspiracies
Hearing Grandma Huo start to be dissatisfied with the bodyguards following her, Lin Yilan's quiet heart suddenly came to life, "Yes, Grandma, why don't you consider... not letting them follow me."
Grandma Huo nodded. Seeing this, Lin Yilan thought she had a chance of getting rid of those bodyguards and wanted to say something, but then she heard Grandma Huo say:
"The bodyguards Juncheng assigned to you are indeed not very good. Grandma does have some good bodyguards. I will assign them to you one day to protect you together."
When Lin Yilan heard Grandma Huo say this, she was instantly petrified. She thought she could get rid of those bodyguards, but she didn't expect that not only did she fail to get rid of them, but the number of bodyguards even increased. Lin Yilan was really in agony now.
Seeing Lin Yilan's mournful face, Grandma Huo thought she was moved, but she had no idea of Lin Yilan's true inner thoughts. Just like that, Lin Yilan's bodyguards doubled in size.
Now, even if Lin Yilan could move freely, she didn't want to go out. Imagine going to the streets with more than 50 bodyguards following her. Wouldn't that cause traffic jams even on the quietest streets?
But even so, it was difficult for her to refuse Chu Siran when he asked her out. What's more, Lin Yilan was really worried about Chu Siran's health, so when Chu Siran asked her out, she agreed without saying a word.
Chu Siran knew that she had made Lin Yilan worried in the past two days. The main reason for asking Lin Yilan to come this time was that she was afraid that Lin Yilan would worry about her. Also, she had heard that Lin Yilan was invited to the police station for tea.
"Yilan, I heard that you were taken to the police station that day. What happened? Are you okay? I didn't expect Li Xiang to do this. I was too careless."
Hearing Chu Siran's concern, Lin Yilan waved her hand indifferently, "It's okay, it's okay, I just went to the police station to sit for a while, and Huo Juncheng came to pick me up in less than 20 minutes, it's just..."
At the end, Lin Yilan hesitated to speak, which made Chu Siran, who was already worried about Lin Yilan, feel anxious. "Just what? Is everything okay?"
"It's okay, the number of bodyguards has just doubled!"
After Lin Yilan finished speaking, she picked up the water on the table with some embarrassment and took a big gulp.
Chu Siran couldn't help laughing when he heard Lin Yilan say this. "You were sent to the police station because you had too many bodyguards around you. With so many people beating up Li Xiang, it would be hard not to be classified as a gang fight. Why did they increase the number of bodyguards for you..."
"The first batch was assigned to me by Huo Juncheng, and this batch was forced upon me by Grandma Huo. She said the first batch wasn't working, so she gave me another batch..."
"Well, I think Huo Juncheng was deliberately trying to mess with you. He insisted on giving you more bodyguards, but he was embarrassed to save face, so he asked Madam Huo to come forward."
Lin Yilan sighed helplessly, "No matter what the situation is, I can't escape this bodyguard anyway. Siran, what are you going to do about this matter? You're not going to just let it go, are you?"
"Of course I can't just let it go. I don't know what made Li Xiang so bold as to drug me! Even if he thinks I'm easy to bully, he should at least be wary of the Chu family. I really don't know what he's thinking."
When Lin Yilan heard Chu Siran say this, she nodded in agreement. Although she didn't understand much about these things in the world of fame and fortune, the Li family's power was indeed far inferior to that of the Chu family.
"Oh, isn't this my dear sister and Miss Lin Yilan? What a coincidence, we can meet even while having a meal."
Following the direction of the voice, Lin Yilan and Chu Siran saw Chu Xi, the person they didn't want to see at all. The two of them frowned openly to express their disgust.
However, Chu Xi seemed not to notice and kept smiling. She looked at Li Mu beside her and said shyly, "Li Mu, I'm going to chat with my sister for a while. You go first and I'll follow later."
When Li Mu heard Chu Xi say this, he was obviously stunned. The relationship between Chu Xi and Chu Siran was very tense. After the last incident in the clothing store, he had a deep understanding of it. What was there to talk about directly between the two of them?
Li Mu couldn't figure it out, but since Chu Xi had said so, Li Mu didn't ask any more questions. "Then I'll go order the food first. Be careful. If you encounter any problems, call me. Got it?"
Chu Siran rolled his eyes at the two of them being so affectionate. "I don't think there's anything for you and I to talk about. Since you're so in love with your little fiancé, you'd better not stay here. Besides, you're acting like I want to eat you."
Chu Xi watched Li Mu walk away, looking back every few steps, and then she withdrew her gaze and looked at Chu Siran and Lin Yilan. Without waiting for the two to express their feelings, she pulled out a chair and sat down.
"I heard that my sister went on a blind date with Li Xiang a few days ago. How did it turn out?"
"What does this have to do with you? What do you care about me?"
Chu Siran knew that nothing good would happen when he saw Chu Xi. Speaking of Li Xiang, he was the brother of Li Mu, Chu Xi's fiancé. Chu Siran had always wanted to tear Li Xiang into pieces, but now that he met his brother, how could Chu Siran be in a good mood?
"Chu Xi, if you don't have something to do, you'd better not stay here. Look outside. Don't you see the bodyguards lined up neatly outside?"
Lin Yilan, who was sitting next to him, spoke at this time. Chu Siran was already unhappy about Li Xiang's matter, but Chu Xi insisted on putting himself in danger. Lin Yilan felt unhappy listening to this.
"Tsk, stop trying to scare me. Even if those bodyguards are yours, what's the point? Can you really let them kick me out of the restaurant? Do you really think the whole world belongs to you now?"
Although Chu Xi said this, there was still a hint of fear in her words. After all, with so many tall and strong bodyguards, she would have no chance of winning if a fight really broke out.
"I can't kick you out, this is a public place after all, but I can give you a beating, so if you're smart, you'd better go have dinner with your fiancé."
Lin Yilan looked at Chu Xi with a smile, not looking angry at all, but what she said made Chu Xi tremble uncontrollably.
Looking at Chu Siran's smug expression, Chu Xi put on a strange smile, "Chu Siran, don't be too proud. Aren't you curious about why Li Xiang had the guts to put drugs in your wine?"
Hearing Chu Xi's words, Chu Siran's pupils shrank, "Chu Xi, what do you mean?"
Chu Xi knew that Chu Siran would have this expression when she heard what she said. He had just used those bodyguards to scare her, and now it was finally her turn to take action.
"I don't mean anything else. I just gave Li Xiang some advice the night before he went on a blind date with you. I didn't expect that he couldn't even handle such a small matter."
