Chapter 162 Being Beaten
What on earth had she done? Chu Xi couldn't tell Li Mu that she had invited Huo Juncheng on her own initiative, right? Not only would Huo Juncheng fail to catch the fish, but even Li Mu, the big fish, would abandon her.
"Li Mu, do you believe me?"
Chu Xi looked at Li Mu seriously, as if Li Mu was the one who had wronged her.
Li Mu was caught off guard by Chu Xi's sudden change of expression and the sudden role reversal. He stammered, "Of course I believe you. Besides, you just said that Huo Juncheng only entered your room for ten minutes. He wouldn't do anything..."
"You believe me, so why are you still holding on to this? You say you believe me, but in fact, you don't believe me at all. Do you not truly love me?"
As Chu Xi spoke, her eyes turned red, as if she had suffered some great injustice. Seeing Chu Xi like this, Li Mu panicked instantly.
"I don't believe you, Xixi, please listen to my explanation. I'm just worried about you."
Li Mu said as he stood up in a panic and hugged Chu Xi who was standing opposite him. "Xixi, I'm just worried about whether you have been bullied. Although the Li family is not as powerful as the Huo family, if you have suffered any injustice, I will definitely not let Huo Juncheng go."
"Forget it. It's not worth it for you to go against the Huo family for me. Besides, the Li family has just gained a foothold in this city. Listen to me and don't go against Huo Juncheng, okay?"
When Chu Xi said this, it was obvious that she agreed with Li Mu's previous question, acknowledged that she was bullied by Huo Juncheng, and acknowledged that she was the one who suffered the loss.
Li Mu was a simple-minded man. When he heard Chu Xi say that, he believed it without thinking.
"I didn't expect Huo Juncheng to be this kind of person. I didn't say anything about his unclear relationship with you before, but now you are my fiancée, and he actually dared to cause trouble for you. Don't worry, Xixi, I know I can't afford to offend Huo Juncheng now, but this doesn't mean that Huo Juncheng will be so arrogant in the future!"
"Yeah, thank you, Li Mu."
Looking at the petite Chu Xi nestled in his arms, everything that had just happened disappeared in an instant.
"What's there to thank me for? You're my fiancée, so of course I have to stand by your side."
Hearing Li Mu say this, Chu Xi suddenly thought of something. If Chu Siran could ask celebrities to write inscriptions for her milk tea shop, then she could also ask celebrities to endorse her milk tea shop.
And since Li Mu has said so, that he will stand on her side and will not let her suffer any injustice, then he will definitely not refuse such a small favor, right?
"Li Mu, I have something I would like to ask you for help with."
"You tell me, as long as I can do it."
"Chu Siran... my inner sister, she opened two more milk tea shops across from mine. She's clearly trying to make things difficult for me. She even got some popular young actress to write a plaque for her. As a result, my milk tea shop now has no customers. Could you please get a celebrity to endorse my shop?"
"It's just a milk tea shop. If there are no customers, then there are no customers. Our Li family is not short of money and has enough to support you. Why do you work so hard every day? Why not just close it?"
Hearing Li Mu say this, Chu Xi instantly became anxious: "This is not a question of money, this is a question of face. You don't know how proud Chu Siran is to see me now. I'm almost pissed her off!"
Chu Xi said this while shyly punching Li Mu's chest. Li Mu couldn't stand Chu Xi's offensive and quickly held her little pink fist. "Okay, okay, I'll agree to whatever you want. Tomorrow I'll find you a spokesperson and I'll definitely help you defeat Chu Siran."
"Yeah." After hearing what Li Mu said, Chu Xi raised the corners of his mouth with some satisfaction.
…
On this day, Lin Yilan wanted to find Ah Si to sing an opera, but Chu Siran had been busy with his milk tea shop business these days and had no time to take care of Lin Yilan.
Lin Yilan was just worrying about how to get to the theater, but Huo Juncheng actually offered to go to the theater with her. "Didn't you say you don't like listening to me sing?"
"Well... I'll be passing by there on my way to the theater soon, so I can drop you off at the theater. If you want to come back, call me and I'll pick you up."
"Doesn't the Huo family have a driver? Why make it so troublesome?" Lin Yilan still had a prejudice against Huo Juncheng and Chu Xi, and didn't give Huo Juncheng a good look at all.
Huo Juncheng obviously noticed this and tried to explain, but just as he was about to open his mouth, he was interrupted by Lin Yilan, "Forget it, forget it, since you're going this way, I'll just take your car and save gas."
Lin Yilan didn't know why she subconsciously interrupted Huo Juncheng. Perhaps she knew the truth of the matter, but didn't want to hear it from Huo Juncheng's mouth.
At least, she doesn't want to hear it now...
"What's wrong with you? I told you to stop pestering Madam Huo, but you don't understand or what?"
"Who are you? What's wrong with me singing with Sister Yilan? What does it have to do with you?"
Faced with Ah Si's refusal to compromise, the group also became angry: "I see you're just refusing to accept my offer, so why not drink the wine? Well, since we're talking to you nicely and you won't listen, don't blame us for being rude. Brothers, attack!"
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone picked up sticks and swung them at Ah Si.
…
"Huo Juncheng, tell the driver to stop the car. I think I saw Ah Si just now. Stop the car!"
Lin Yilan grew up in the mountains and had extraordinary eyesight since childhood. She was too lazy to talk to Huo Juncheng and was staring out the window in a daze. As a result, she happened to see Ah Si being besieged by others.
Huo Juncheng looked at Lin Yilan's nervous expression. Although he didn't know what had happened, he still signaled the driver to stop the car on the side of the road.
Before the car stopped, Lin Yilan couldn't wait to open the door and rushed out. Seeing this, Huo Juncheng followed her out of concern.
When Lin Yilan ran to the scene, she saw Ah Si surrounded by a group of people, protecting his head and looking like he was at the mercy of others. After all, Ah Si was a martial artist with some skills, so why was he so weak now?
Although Lin Yilan was a little confused, she didn't think too much about it. She rushed over and knocked the two tall and burly men to the ground. Then she clapped her hands triumphantly.
"Gathering to fight? Do you still have the core socialist values in your hearts? Are you tired of the good life? Do you want to go to the police station for a cup of tea?"
When the group saw Lin Yilan’s sudden visit, they stood there in a daze, not knowing what to do. Seeing this, Lin Yilan couldn’t help laughing.
"What? Did I scare you silly? Do you still want to continue? How about we give it a try? Anyway, I haven't moved for a long time, and my hands are itching. Come on, come on, who's going first?"
After hearing Lin Yilan say this, the group of people did not show any reaction, but continued to be stunned. Moreover, the person they were looking at did not seem to be Lin Yilan, but Huo Juncheng?
"Mr. Huo...why are you here?"
Huo Juncheng was suddenly called by the group of people and was a little surprised for a moment, "Do I know you?"
"Boss Huo, why are you..." When the group heard Huo Juncheng say he didn't know them, they got a little anxious for a moment, but then they seemed to think of something and quickly waved their hands, "Right, right, right, you don't know us, and we don't know you either. Let's leave now, let's leave now."
