Chapter 163: Confusion of right and wrong
Then, without waiting for Lin Yilan to react, they left the scene one after another, leaving Lin Yilan alone and in a mess. Of course, it wasn't just Lin Yilan who was in a mess, Huo Juncheng was also there...
"Is there something wrong with the brains of those people just now?" Lin Yilan said, pointing her finger at her solar plexus and complaining to Huo Juncheng about the group of people just now.
When Huo Juncheng heard Lin Yilan say this, he shook his head helplessly, indicating that he was also confused.
It was Ah Si who was lying on the ground who struggled to get up. One of his eyes was swollen and there was a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth. Ah Si wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and glanced at Lin Yilan.
"Thank you, Sister Yilan. It's a good thing you came in time, otherwise I would have been beaten even worse by them."
"Who are they? When did you get involved with these young people?"
Hearing Lin Yilan's question, cracks instantly appeared on Ah Si's smiling face. He stammered and didn't know how to start. Lin Yilan, who was standing aside, couldn't help herself when she saw Ah Si like this.
"What's going on? Tell me."
Faced with Lin Yilan's repeated questioning, Ah Si finally seemed to have made up his mind. He glanced at Huo Juncheng, then turned his gaze to Lin Yilan. "Sister Yilan, although you may not believe what I say, but, but..."
"But what? Tell me, are you still a man if you keep hesitating?"
"I've actually been practicing singing in the theater all these years, so it's impossible for me to offend anyone. They told me that they were... Mr. Huo's orders..."
Hearing Ah Si say this, Lin Yilan's mouth dropped open in shock. "What did you say? Were those people just now ordered by Huo Juncheng?"
Ah Si nodded, indicating that it was indeed the case.
Lin Yilan glanced at Huo Juncheng beside her, then looked at the injuries on Ah Si's body. She thought that there was a great possibility that Huo Juncheng had some relationship with Chu Xi.
But if Huo Juncheng sent people to cause trouble for Ah Si, what was the reason?
"Did those people tell you directly that Huo Juncheng ordered them to cause trouble for you?"
Seeing that Lin Yilan obviously didn't believe him, Ah Si felt that his performance was going to fail. He secretly said in his heart that it was not good. He didn't expect that Lin Yilan trusted Huo Juncheng so much. However, since things had come to this point, he could only bite the bullet and continue.
"That's what they said. I didn't believe it at first, but they also threatened me to stay away from you, Sister Yilan. They also said that I was just an actor, and I was trying to get close to you... But I really regarded Sister Yilan as a friend, not like what they said!"
At the end of the speech, Ah Si became obviously a little excited.
Huo Juncheng listened for a long time and finally couldn't stand it anymore, "Do you think it was me who did it?"
"I...I don't know."
"Maybe someone framed Huo Juncheng. I know Huo Juncheng is definitely not that kind of person." Lin Yilan obviously didn't believe that Huo Juncheng would do such a thing, and she was also making excuses for Huo Juncheng.
When Ah Si heard Lin Yilan say this, he quietly tugged at her collar, motioning her to come closer. He then whispered to her, "Actually, I didn't believe it was Mr. Huo at first, but I really don't have any enemies, and... maybe Mr. Huo is trying to make trouble for me because I told you the truth."
Looking at Ah Si's serious expression, Lin Yilan was a little confused for a moment. If Huo Juncheng really sent someone to teach Ah Si a lesson because Ah Si told her about Huo Juncheng and Chu Xi...
Thinking about the strange reaction of that group of people before they left, could it be that these people were really sent by Huo Juncheng?
Huo Juncheng looked at Lin Yilan's expression. Although he didn't know what Ah Si had said to Lin Yilan, he knew that Lin Yilan now suspected him.
It was bad enough to be suddenly slandered by someone, but now Lin Yilan went from having complete faith in herself to having doubts about herself just because of a few words from Ah Si.
No matter how good Huo Juncheng's temper was, he couldn't bear it anymore at this moment. What's more, he was not in a good mood because of Chu Xi's matter.
"So now, just because of the one-sided statement from the inner group, you believe that this group of people were really sent by me?" Huo Juncheng said this in a relatively calm tone.
"It's not just that group of people's one-sided words. It's mainly Mr. Huo... Although I know I shouldn't have said that to Sister Yilan, I feel that if I don't say it, it would be unfair to Sister Yilan. So if you blame me for finding those people to beat me up, I have nothing to say."
"What?"
Hearing Ah Si say this, Huo Juncheng was instantly confused. Although Ah Si was speaking Chinese, why couldn't he understand a single word? However, Ah Si didn't seem to give Huo Juncheng a chance to react, and continued to speak on his own:
"Since Mr. Huo has already hit me, I hope he won't be angry anymore and let me go. Please also...let Sister Yilan go."
"What are you talking about?"
"I know it was wrong of me to catch you dating the eldest daughter of the Chu family, but since you love the eldest daughter of the Chu family, I hope you will stop holding on to Sister Yilan. She is such an outstanding woman and deserves better."
"Ah Si, what do you mean by that? Don't you know exactly what's going on in the inner world? I thank you for arriving in time to save me, but you can't confuse right and wrong here, right?"
Huo Juncheng was a little angry after hearing Ah Si's words one after another, but because Ah Si had saved him and had good upbringing, he did not lose his temper. Instead, he patiently argued with Ah Si.
However, Ah Si didn't notice the change in Huo Juncheng's expression and continued to speak to himself, "I know I shouldn't tell Sister Yilan this fact, but as Sister Yilan's friend, I feel that I can't lie to her. I'm sorry, Mr. Huo, I can't say it the way you told me."
At the end of his words, Ah Si bent down and bowed to Huo Juncheng.
Lin Yilan stood aside, listening to the conversation between Ah Si and Huo Juncheng, and understood the whole story.
"So it was you who really sent someone to beat up Ah Si?"
"I don't."
"Now that things have come to this, you still refuse to admit it?"
"I already said I didn't."
Huo Juncheng's expression remained unchanged despite Ah Si's distortion of right and wrong and Lin Yilan's endless questioning. He was furious to the extreme. He had no idea what Ah Si was planning, nor did he know where he got the courage to do such a thing.
Huo Juncheng had originally thought that since Ah Si knew the details of what happened, he should be able to explain it to Lin Yilan on his behalf. However, he didn't expect that Ah Si would confuse right and wrong. Could it be that he was bribed by Chu Xi?
Huo Juncheng sneered. What a man who overestimated his own abilities. It seemed that there was no need for him to be polite to this Ah Si.
