Chapter 167 Head-on Confrontation
Hearing Chu Siran say this, Zheng Ronglan seemed to understand what was going on. Thinking that he was still spending his family's money and still had to rely on the Zheng family for financial support, it was indeed a bit inconvenient.
"How about we discuss this? Let me invest in you and we can open a milk tea shop together. How about that?"
Zheng Ronglan raised his eyebrows after he finished speaking, and leaned one hand on the table, waiting for Chu Siran's next words. Chu Siran didn't expect that opening a milk tea shop by himself could actually attract the attention of the Zheng family's eldest son. At first, he was surprised.
But after being surprised, she quickly calmed down. "Don't even think about it. This milk tea shop is a partnership between Yilan and me. You're investing..." At this point, Chu Siran glanced at Zheng Ronglan. "Besides your decent looks, what can you bring to the milk tea shop?"
"I can raise funds. I have money."
Chu Siran didn't expect Zheng Ronglan to say that, and couldn't help but roll his eyes. "Excuse me, Master Zheng, do you think Yilan and I are poor people?"
Zheng Ronglan thought about it and agreed. One was the young lady of the Huo family who had not yet married into the family, and the other was the second daughter of the Chu family. They didn't look like poor people at all. It seemed that his idea was doomed to fail.
"Zheng Ronglan, if you really want to start a business, go find some opportunities yourself. Why are you following me and Siran to join in the fun? Is it fun for a grown man to open a milk tea shop?"
Lin Yilan had seen Zheng Ronglan coming a long time ago, but because of the work at hand, she couldn't get away for the moment, so she rushed over at this time. However, she listened to the conversation between the two for a long time.
"I don't want to be your shareholder..."
Before Zheng Ronglan could finish his words, Chu Siran interrupted him bluntly, "You think I don't know your little tricks? Don't you just want to lie down and count the money in the future? I'm telling you, don't even think about it. We won't agree to your financing."
"Si Ran, how can you be so heartless? We share the happiness."
Chu Siran didn't expect Zheng Ronglan to start acting like a spoiled child with her. Seeing Zheng Ronglan like that, she couldn't help but shudder, "Stay away from me, I despise you."
"Si Ran—"
"Hey, is it so lively here?"
It was originally a peaceful scene, but I don’t know what Chu Xi’s mentality was. He appeared at this strange time, as if he came here intentionally to destroy this beauty.
Everyone noticed her, glanced at her lightly, and then ignored her again.
"By the way, Zheng Ronglan, I heard that your family recently acquired that piece of land in the east of the city. Would you consider leaving two storefronts for my milk tea shop?"
"I've never been involved in the company's affairs. You asked me to leave two stores for you, which is a bit difficult for me... Besides, those places haven't been developed yet. If you want to expand the store, wouldn't that be the right place..."
"Oh, don't worry, don't worry. Once your Zheng family has developed that place, it won't be too late for me to expand my store in the east city. I just want to join in the fun in the east city, so is it possible? Just give me a definite answer!"
"this……"
Chu Siran looked at Zheng Ronglan's embarrassment, glared at him, and sighed deeply, "Alas, you are such a coward as the eldest son of the Zheng family. It's just two stores, and you can't even decide?"
Seeing Zheng Ronglan still pursing her lips, Chu Siran continued to tease, "It's only a matter of time before you take over the Zheng family business. The development of the east city will also take some time. Maybe by then the Zheng family will be under your control? If you agree, I'll give you some shares. I tell you, don't underestimate my milk tea shop. It may be small, but it has a lot of customers."
Chu Siran said this, stretched out a hand, passed it in front of his eyes, and pointed at the long group of people, "So is it okay or not?"
"Sister, you seem quite confident about your milk tea shop. What? Are you really going to sever ties with the Chu family and start your own business? Are you being too naive? You want to occupy the land in the east of the city with just a crappy milk tea shop?"
Chu Siran looked in the direction of the sound and saw Chu Xi, who was "sour grapes", taking an exaggerated step back, looking very funny.
"Oh my god, why are you still here? You come to my milk tea shop every day. Are you sick? Do you think I welcome you, or do you think you're really beautiful? Do you deserve a beating?"
Facing Chu Siran's ridicule, Chu Xi's expression changed, and he was a little embarrassed. "I'm not here to see you today, I'm here to see Lin Yilan!"
"Looking for me?"
Lin Yilan was slightly surprised when she was suddenly mentioned, but she quickly calmed down. "What do you want from me? I don't really want to see you. If you don't have anything particularly important to say, please go back. I'm still busy here."
"As expected, without Mr. Huo by your side, you can only cook milk tea here. Unlike me, Huo Juncheng even asked me to go to the restaurant for dinner tonight. Alas, this guy, his great charm is also a dilemma. What should I do, the young lady of the Huo family who has not yet married, do you think I should go?"
"You woman..."
Before Lin Yilan could say anything, Zheng Ronglan became anxious and was about to argue with Chu Xi. Lin Yilan was standing next to Zheng Ronglan at the moment and grabbed Zheng Ronglan's arm in time to stop him.
However, in Chu Xi's eyes, she thought that Lin Yilan stopped Zheng Ronglan because she was afraid that Zheng Ronglan would make a big deal out of it and embarrass Lin Yilan. So at this moment, she seemed even more unscrupulous.
"Lin Yilan, why don't you consider leaving Huo Juncheng? You said he doesn't like you either. Do you think it's fun to stick to him like a piece of taffy?"
Hearing Chu Xi say this, Lin Yilan smiled slightly, not looking angry at all. She walked slowly in front of Chu Xi, with a smile still on her lips.
"Miss Chu is right. He doesn't like you. Is it really interesting for you to put so much effort into directing and acting on your own?"
"Lin Yilan, what do you mean?"
"What do I mean? Ha, Chu Xi, do you really not understand or are you pretending not to understand? You're really interesting in trying to bribe Ah Si and putting on a show in front of me. If you enjoy acting so much, why don't you consider entering the entertainment industry instead of staying here guarding your two milk tea shops that will soon close!"
"Lin Yilan, you..." Chu Xi really didn't expect that Lin Yilan would know all this so quickly. He was so shocked that he didn't know what to say.
Looking at Chu Xi like this, Lin Yilan felt inexplicably relieved. She had been fooled by Chu Xi for so long, and now the truth had finally come to light.
Lin Yilan really wanted to expose Chu Xi's evil heart to the public, but thinking that this might delay the business of the milk tea shop, she approached Chu Xi and deliberately whispered the following words in Chu Xi's ear:
"Huo Juncheng doesn't like you and will never like you in this life. I advise you not to waste your time. Moreover, you are now the Li family's fiancée, but you actually drugged Huo Juncheng's wine and tricked him into the lounge. What do you think will happen if I tell the Li family all this?"
