Chapter 181 Decisive Rejection
"I'm so sorry, Auntie. I just became an adult two days ago, so I'm now eligible to pursue my own love. So you absolutely cannot compete with me for the class leader position. Do you understand?"
"Who am I calling auntie? Am I that old?"
"Compared to me, you're just an old lady, so don't even think about stealing the boss position from me, or I'll never let you go."
Lin Yilan listened to Ah Zhu talking about Xu Ziwen all the time, and knew that if she didn't say something to excuse herself, Ah Zhu's hostility towards her would not decrease at all. She held her forehead helplessly.
"I won't compete with you for Xu Ziwen. He and I just have a simple master-disciple relationship."
"You said it was a simple master-disciple relationship, so it really is just a simple master-disciple relationship. I don't believe that as the class owner's apprentice, you can live with the class owner day and night without being attracted to him! Just thinking about it makes me angry. What's so good about you that the class owner would accept you as his apprentice?"
Lin Yilan had a temper after being ridiculed repeatedly by Azhu. She could tolerate a few words, but facing Azhu who was still chattering, Lin Yilan could no longer stand it.
"That's just your lover's view of Chu Xishi. You think Xu Ziwen is good in every way, but I don't think he's that good. What's more, I'm already someone else's fiancée. It's absolutely impossible for me to compete with you for Xu Ziwen."
"and you……"
"You don't have to tell me that even if we're engaged, we can still cancel it," Lin Yilan seemed to have guessed what Azhu wanted to say, so she interrupted her before Azhu could finish her words.
"I don't have that kind of feeling towards Xu Ziwen at all. I don't have any feelings for him now, and I certainly won't have any feelings for him in the future. I only became his disciple because of his profound knowledge of opera, and he accepted me as his apprentice because I'm a pretty good opera singer. Do you understand?"
"Is that really all?"
"Whether you believe it or not, this is the truth. And what you just said was really harsh. I'll assume you're a little hostile to me because of Xu Ziwen, but if you keep speaking so recklessly in the future, I won't be so easy to mess with. You know, I've been practicing martial arts since I was young, and my fists don't have eyes."
Lin Yilan finished speaking, wiped her mouth, and stood up to leave. "I'm done eating. My bodyguard has already paid the money. I won't eat with you anymore."
"Wait a minute!"
Seeing Lin Yilan about to leave, Ah Zhu grabbed one of her hands and said, "I'm sorry, I was wrong just now."
"It's okay, just be more careful next time."
"I will never do this again, so please don't leave. Didn't you agree to accompany me to find the class owner and ask him why he didn't accept me as his apprentice? You can't go back on your word."
Lin Yilan was so angry at Azhu that she almost laughed. She didn't expect that Azhu had such a plan. So if she hadn't promised to go with Azhu to find Xu Ziwen, would she definitely not apologize to her?
"You're such an interesting girl. You just mocked me, and now you want me to help you? Do you really think I'm a good person?"
Lin Yilan looked at Ah Zhu's hesitant expression and didn't say a word for a long time. She knew Ah Zhu had good intentions, but if she forgave her so easily, wouldn't Ah Zhu become even more aggressive in the future?
"I'm sorry, I did have that plan, but I don't think you're worth my time. I have an appointment this afternoon, so I won't be with you."
After Lin Yilan finished speaking, she left. Ah Zhu looked at Lin Yilan's departing back and wanted to catch up, but was stopped by Gao Hu.
Azhu looked at Lin Yilan's back as she walked away and stomped her feet in anger.
On the other side, Lin Yilan went directly to Chu Siran’s newly opened milk tea shop...
"Boss Chu, are you finally done with your work?" As soon as Lin Yilan entered the store, she saw Chu Siran sitting at the table stirring milk tea. She was in a good mood and joked with her.
"Yilan, please stop mocking me. My life is so miserable every day. After discussing cooperation with Cass, I quickly got busy with the expansion of the new store. Look, the new store has just been renovated and is ready to open tomorrow."
"You've been really busy lately. It's been a long time since we've hung out together. I'm almost bored to death staying at home all day."
Facing Lin Yilan's complaints, Chu Siran sighed helplessly, "I didn't expect that opening a milk tea shop would be so busy. If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have opened this milk tea shop."
"How can we not open it? The booming business of the milk tea shop only proves that Miss Chu is extremely capable." Before Lin Yilan and Chu Siran could say a few words, Cass pushed the door and walked in.
"Why are you here?" Chu Siran was slightly surprised by Cass's sudden visit. "Is there something wrong with our cooperation? Can the batch of tea I ordered be delivered as usual tomorrow?"
"No problem, I just came to take a look. Why, you don't welcome me?"
"Of course you're not welcome. We're just partners. Mr. Cass, if you don't have anything else to do, please leave. I don't want to discuss business matters during my personal time."
Chu Siran, facing the always enthusiastic Cass, did not give him any face and directly ordered him to leave. Chu Siran had been with Cass for these days and had truly witnessed his passion, roses, bags, movies...
No matter how many times Chu Siran rejected him, he would persevere and continue to please Chu Siran. If Chu Siran had known about Cass's characteristics earlier, she guaranteed that she would definitely refuse this cooperation. However, it was too late to say anything now.
"Miss Chu, you misunderstood me. I'm not here to discuss cooperation with you. I'm here today for personal matters. I wonder if Miss Chu could spare a little private time to go to the movies with me?"
"Thank you for your kindness, but I don't have the time." After hearing what Cass said, Chu Siran rejected him decisively without thinking.
"Ms. Chu, this is the thirty-second time you've rejected me. Can't you just go to the movies with me?"
"I'm sorry, I told you I don't have the time. I still have to accompany my friends." Chu Siran said, looking at Lin Yilan who was standing there in a daze, and raised his eyebrows at Cass.
"There's a saying in your country: 'Everything should be based on first come, first served'..."
Before Cass could finish, Chu Siran interrupted him, "Yes, everything is based on first come first served. My friend came first."
"No, that's not right. I've asked you out thirty-two times, Miss Chu, and you've always rejected me because of work. You said we'd talk when we have time, and now that we have time, shouldn't we..."
Chu Siran stroked her hair and interrupted Cass again, "If that's the case, Yilan and I had already agreed to go out and play together after we were done with this busy period before we even met you. So, I'm really sorry, Mr. Cass, I'm afraid I still have to reject you today."
