Chapter 161 Being Questioned
Facing the surrounding discussions, Chu Xi felt a little embarrassed for a moment. After holding it in for a long time, she finally squeezed out a sentence: "Lin Yilan, aren't you just relying on your status as Huo Juncheng's fiancée? What are you so proud of? He doesn't like you. It won't be long before Huo Juncheng's fiancée will definitely be me!"
Chu Xi finished speaking, and walked away in her high heels. Looking at Chu Xi's gradually receding figure, Lin Yilan no longer had the indifference she had just had, and sighed with some melancholy.
Chu Siran was just about to praise Lin Yilan for her performance, but when he saw Lin Yilan being sentimental, he sighed helplessly.
"Yilan, tell me the truth, do you really like Huo Juncheng?" Chu Siran pulled Lin Yilan to a place with fewer people and carefully asked the question he had always wanted to ask.
Faced with Chu Siran's sudden question, Lin Yilan was a little flustered for a moment. Did she like Huo Juncheng? During these days of getting along, although Huo Juncheng did make her a little speechless sometimes, most of the time, he also cared about her enough.
However, the reason she became Huo Juncheng's fiancée was simply because of his cold body. If she hadn't been needed to warm him up, Lin Yilan wouldn't have become Huo Juncheng's fiancée.
When asked whether she really likes Huo Juncheng, she is actually not very clear. Moreover, she wants to know Huo Juncheng's heart more than her own heart. Does Huo Juncheng really like Chu Xi?
If he really likes Chu Xi, then what does the previous rejection mean, and what does the previous promise to her mean?
Seeing Lin Yilan in a daze, Chu Siran knew the answer to his question without asking. It must be yes. However, as the person involved, Lin Yilan could only be said to be confused by the situation.
"Yilan, why don't you ask Huo Juncheng clearly, what if it's not like that?"
"Ah Si saw it with his own eyes, how could it be fake? I know I can't compare to Chu Xi, and I can understand Huo Juncheng liking Chu Xi. What I'm thinking now is that if Huo Juncheng really wants to break off the engagement with me, I'll just work in your milk tea shop from now on."
"Oh my god, Yilan, what are you thinking? How can Chu Xi compare to you? Apart from that face that's more exaggerated than a monster, I really can't see any advantages in her. If Huo Juncheng really likes her, then he is blind."
Lin Yilan knew that Chu Siran said this purely to comfort her. In order not to let Chu Siran worry about her, Lin Yilan smiled palely and tried to pretend to be indifferent.
Seeing Lin Yilan's depressed look, Chu Siran thought of what Lin Yilan had just mentioned about working in a milk tea shop, so he quickly replied:
"No problem, I'll give you half of the company's shares, and we two sisters can start a business together in the future!"
"Isn't this a bad idea? I didn't do anything, and you're giving me half of the shares in the milk tea shop? No, no."
Hearing Chu Siran's proposal, Lin Yilan quickly shook her hand to refuse. Seeing Lin Yilan's look, Chu Siran couldn't help laughing for a moment.
"How about you take some money from the Huo family and invest it in my milk tea shop? That way, you'll officially become a shareholder."
When Lin Yilan heard Chu Siran say this, she refused at first. After all, the Huo family's money belonged to the Huo family, and besides, her current relationship with Huo Juncheng...who knows what it would be like in the future.
But who is Chu Siran? Under her fox-like persuasion, Lin Yilan finally nodded and agreed.
Chu Siran's original words were: "If Huo Juncheng really ended his relationship with Lin Yilan because of Chu Xi, then he is really a scumbag. Such a scumbag, his money would be wasted, not to mention that the Huo family has so much money, and investing a little money in a milk tea shop is nothing at all."
After hearing what Chu Siran said, Lin Yilan felt that it was true. Even if they didn't have any relationship in the future, it would still be good to have some money.
…
Chu Xi thought that she just needed to explain the scandal between her and Huo Juncheng to Li Mu, but she didn't expect Li Mu to get so angry with her.
Looking at the broken glass cups, broken valuable oil paintings, and bottles and jars scattered everywhere in the house, Chu Xi panicked instantly.
"Li Mu..."
"You still remember to come back?"
"Li Mu, please listen to my explanation."
Looking at Chu Xi's little face that was flushed with panic, the more he looked at it, the more attractive it became. Li Mu really wanted to press Chu Xi under him and love her well, but when he thought of the scene where the person he loved so much was being pressed under another man, Li Mu couldn't control his emotions.
Li Mu looked at Chu Xi, just watching quietly without saying a word. After smashing so many things, he was a little tired now and wanted to have a good rest. He leaned on the sofa and looked at Chu Xi quietly.
Facing Li Mu like this, Chu Xi was still somewhat afraid. After all, she had been abused by the sadist Shen Shenyan before, and she still had some trauma.
She was very afraid that the Li Mu in front of her would one day become like the Shen Shenyan of the past and beat her up...
"Huo Juncheng and I are not what you think. And the media, you know how good they are at making up stories these days. In fact, nothing happened between us that night. Really nothing happened."
"You mean you really wanted something to happen?"
"No, no, that's not what I meant." Facing Li Mu who was sitting on the sofa unusually calmly, Chu Xi became more and more flustered.
"So what exactly happened in the inner world? Please explain it clearly. Why did Huo Juncheng go to your room? And what exactly happened in your room? When the news broke, why didn't you explain it to me right away? Did you think it was fun to cheat on me?"
"No, no, that's not what I meant. I know it was wrong of me to let Huo Juncheng into my room, but Li Mu, Huo Juncheng was in my room for less than ten minutes. How could anything have happened between us?"
Chu Xi had just given Huo Juncheng the drug when Ah Si rushed in. It was less than ten minutes. Although Ah Si's sudden intrusion disrupted all her plans.
But now facing Li Mu's questioning, Chu Xi wanted to take a good rest after Ah Si's sudden intrusion.
Seeing Li Mu's skeptical expression, Chu Xi coughed twice, trying to bolster her confidence. "If you don't believe me, you can check the surveillance footage at the Lianyu Hotel. He really only went to my room for ten minutes. The media outlets are writing nonsense without any basis for truth. I'm also very distressed."
"Then what on earth did Huo Juncheng go to your room for?" Although Chu Xi explained that nothing would happen between the two of them, Li Mu did not intend to let Chu Xi go.
"Inner Heaven..."
