Chapter 160 Come and find trouble
Ever since Chu Siran's milk tea shop opened, Chu Xi's milk tea shop has become increasingly unpopular. In the end, it was just as Chu Siran said, the number of customers a day could be counted on one hand.
"Boss, ever since the milk tea shop across the street opened, our shop has had fewer and fewer customers. What should we do?"
"I'm not blind, you don't need to tell me such things!"
Hearing the complaints from the employees in his store, Chu Xi glared at him fiercely.
Hearing Chu Xi's scolding, the clerk silently cursed Chu Xi in his heart. She deserved that there were no customers in her store with such a temper... If it weren't for Chu Xi paying him a salary, he wouldn't bother to serve such a person.
"I asked you to find out about the enemy situation these days. How's your progress?" Chu Xi sat on a chair beside him with a haughty look.
"Well, I've found out. When her milk tea shop first opened, it sold out at half price. Also, it's said that the shop sign was personally written by the popular young actress Mo Yanran. It has a certain publicity power, which is why there are so many customers now."
Of course, this employee is also a fan of Mo Yanran. For Mo Yanran, he also went to Chu Siran’s milk tea shop to buy milk tea. To be honest, the milk tea in Chu Siran’s shop is really much better than the milk tea in Chu Xi’s milk tea shop.
However, this employee did not tell Chu Xi about this. With Chu Xi's bad temper, if she knew that he had patronized Chu Siran's business, he probably wouldn't want his salary this month.
"Isn't she just an actor in the entertainment industry? I really don't understand people's aesthetic standards these days. Take Mo Yanran? No matter how you look at her, her face isn't as pretty as mine, Chu Xi. How come so many people are chasing after her?"
Chu Xi bluntly mocked Mo Yanran, not noticing the employee's gradually darkening expression. She crossed her legs, grabbed a few snacks, and ate while gazing across at Chu Siran's shop.
The word "still" appeared prominently in front of her eyes. She glanced at the long queue... Those people would rather queue for a long time at Chu Siran's place than come to her store.
The more she looked at it, the angrier she became!
Later, she simply stood up and went directly to Chu Siran's shop, ready to make a scene. However, she didn't expect that Chu Siran and Lin Yilan were in the milk tea shop at the moment.
"Hey, isn't this the eldest daughter of our Chu family? Why are you here in my milk tea shop instead of taking care of the customers in your own? Why, do you want to drink the milk tea in my shop too?"
When Chu Siran saw Chu Xi, he started to mock her.
Chu Xi had never thought that Chu Siran was actually here. She had no time to react to what Chu Siran said. Then she heard Chu Siran mockingly say:
"Oh, how could I forget? You probably don't have any customers in your store right now. It's not as busy as mine. Oh, I really envy you for having so much free time. Unlike me, I don't even have time to talk to Yilan."
Chu Siran said this, glancing at Lin Yilan, who was taking care of business, with a look of helplessness on his face. However, anyone with a discerning eye could see the gloating in Chu Siran's eyes.
"Chu Siran, don't go too far!"
"How did I go too far? I already warned you long ago that it would be useless for you to take over my milk tea shop because I will close it down sooner or later. Look how considerate I am, even telling you in advance."
Lin Yilan also noticed Chu Xi's sudden visit, put down the work in her hands and walked over. Facing Lin Yilan who suddenly joined the conversation, Chu Xi's eyes moved and she curled up a sarcastic smile.
"Isn't this our Huo family's young lady? Why are you selling milk tea here? Does our Mr. Huo no longer want you?"
Chu Siran knew that Chu Xi was up to no good when she came. After causing trouble for her, she came to cause trouble for Lin Yilan. Fortunately, judging from Lin Yilan's appearance, she didn't seem to be affected too much.
"What do I want to do? Also, what's your business about what's going on between Huo Juncheng and me? Aren't you meddling a little too much?"
"Yes, yes, I really don't have the mood to care about your affairs. As long as it's between me and Mr. Huo..." Chu Xi said, and deliberately paused for a moment, deliberately looking at Lin Yilan meaningfully, and then pretended to be nonchalant and continued:
"You know the report from the other day... I never thought Mr. Huo would rekindle his old feelings for me. I'm so sorry, Miss Lin. He's quite charming, but he's a bit troublesome."
"You're so funny. You're the nominal fiancée of Li Mu of the Li family, and now you're having an affair with Huo Juncheng. Do you really think the Li family is that easy to deal with?"
"This is my private matter, you have no right to interfere." Looking at Chu Siran who suddenly interrupted, Chu Xi proudly lifted her flowing long hair.
"That's right, Miss Chu Xi has been a favorite of the media since she was young. If there were no gossip about Miss Chu Xi, I wonder how many reporters would be out of work."
Chu Siran retorted viciously, not giving Chu Xi any face at all. Fortunately, what Chu Siran said just triggered Chu Xi's reverse scale, and Chu Xi's smug expression collapsed in an instant.
Lin Yilan didn't want to talk nonsense with Chu Xi anymore. She was upset when she thought about the things between Chu Xi and Huo Juncheng. Seeing Chu Xi's face turning blue after being scolded by Chu Siran, she snorted coldly with a fake smile.
"Miss Chu, if you don't have anything else to do, please go back. I'm not in the mood to discuss Huo Juncheng's affairs with you. After all, this is my private matter."
"But Huo Juncheng likes me now, I think we need to talk." When Chu Xi heard Lin Yilan mention Huo Juncheng, that smug smile appeared on his face again.
"Oh." Lin Yilan responded coldly when she heard Chu Xi say this, shrugged her shoulders indifferently, then crossed her hands in front of her chest, looking as if it had nothing to do with her.
Chu Xi didn't expect Lin Yilan to be like this. She thought that even if Lin Yilan didn't burst into tears immediately, she would definitely not look as indifferent as she does now.
"Huo Juncheng likes you, so he likes you. If he wants to be with you, you should ask him to come to me personally and tell me to break off the engagement. Otherwise, I, Lin Yilan, will still be Huo Juncheng's nominal fiancée, and you, after all, will be a third party who can't be shown on the stage!"
"Lin Yilan, are you shameless?"
Facing Chu Xi's out-of-control face, Lin Yilan's behavior was exactly the opposite. She looked extremely indifferent, as if she was just an outsider.
"You say I'm shameless? Chu Xi, I think you're the shameless one, right? You're the Li family's fiancée, and now you're trying to seduce Huo Juncheng, and now you're looking for trouble with me. I'm curious, how did you manage to be so shameless?"
Chu Xi hadn't expected Lin Yilan to behave like this. More and more people gathered around to watch the excitement. Although Chu Xi had an ambiguous relationship with Huo Juncheng, her status was still not as official as Lin Yilan's.
