Chapter 188: Inexplicable
Because of what happened with Peter Zhang yesterday, Huo Juncheng later terminated his cooperation with Peter Zhang, and repeatedly told Lin Yilan that she must never look for Peter Zhang again.
Although Lin Yilan couldn't understand what Huo Juncheng meant, since Huo Juncheng no longer cooperated with Peter Zhang, there was no need for her to have any dealings with Peter Zhang.
The reason why I agreed to Peter Zhang was because of the cooperation between Peter Zhang and Huo Juncheng.
What Lin Yilan didn't expect was that when Chu Siran asked her to go out and play the next day, Huo Juncheng actually insisted on coming along. Didn't Huo Juncheng always dislike playing with her and Chu Siran?
More importantly, didn’t Huo Juncheng say he was very busy today?
Lin Yilan looked at Huo Juncheng, who was acting out of character, and was a little confused. Seeing Huo Juncheng sitting under a parasol, she quietly pulled Chu Siran away.
Before Lin Yilan could speak, Chu Siran spoke first: "It's nothing serious. Why is Huo Juncheng here? And more importantly, why is Zheng Ronglan here too?"
Chu Siran was already surprised to see Huo Juncheng appear here. After a while, Zheng Ronglan also appeared on the road, saying that he just happened to pass by. How could he just happen to pass by the seaside? It must be Huo Juncheng who asked him to come.
Chu Siran glanced at Huo Juncheng and Zheng Ronglan not far away. At this time, Zheng Ronglan's gaze was about to turn over. Faced with the sudden encounter of gazes, Chu Siran subconsciously avoided it.
"How would I know why Huo Juncheng came here? He just told me yesterday that he was busy with work, but today he's here for a leisurely vacation... And he even inexplicably turned down his collaboration with Peter Zhang. I really can't understand what he's doing. Didn't Peter Zhang treat me to a bunch of meals yesterday? Why would he do that?"
"What? You said Peter Zhang invited you to dinner yesterday?"
"Yeah, what's wrong? I thought Peter Zhang was Huo Juncheng's partner, and he said he invited me to dinner to thank me for teaching him martial arts these days. Since he said that, I couldn't refuse..."
Chu Siran looked at Lin Yilan's indifferent expression and felt inexplicably angry. "So the reason why you didn't go out to play with me yesterday afternoon was because of Peter Zhang?"
Lin Yilan realized that the atmosphere around Chu Siran was a little off, and quickly explained, "Didn't I tell you that Peter Zhang is Huo Juncheng's partner, so it's hard to refuse. Look, I came here to play with you today."
"Do you know who Peter Zhang is? If he invites you to dinner, you go. What if he eats you up without you noticing? You have no conscience at all?"
When Lin Yilan heard Chu Siran say this, she frowned slightly. Why did Chu Siran and Huo Juncheng both say this? She thought Peter Zhang was a good person.
Chu Siran looked at Lin Yilan and felt a little disappointed. "Peter Zhang and Cass have similar personalities. Do you understand what I mean?"
"How did you know?"
"Of course I know. You don't even think about who I am. Apart from anything else, have you forgotten why the contract between Huo Juncheng and Peter Zhang was signed so smoothly? It was all because of that woman Chu Xi..."
After Chu Siran's reminder, Lin Yilan remembered the first time she met Peter Zhang. She felt that what Chu Siran said made sense and nodded.
"Then I was having dinner with Peter Zhang, and Huo Juncheng shouldn't have been so angry. Besides, because he insisted on going with me, we didn't even get to have dinner."
"I was wondering what was wrong with Huo Juncheng today that he insisted on coming with us. Turns out he was jealous." After hearing what Lin Yilan said, Chu Siran started teasing her in a good mood.
"Why are you jealous? There's nothing wrong between me and Peter Zhang. Besides, doesn't he know that our relationship isn't that good?"
Lin Yilan felt a little embarrassed for a moment because of Chu Siran's words. Chu Siran became even more excited when he saw the suspicious blush on Lin Yilan's face.
"This doesn't matter whether you have a good relationship with Peter Zhang or not. I guess Huo Juncheng is still angry now. Why don't you go and comfort him?"
"Why should I coax him? He's not a child. Does he need me to coax him? And I haven't done anything wrong. Why should I coax him? I won't do it."
Facing Chu Siran's teasing, Lin Yilan snorted coldly and glanced at Huo Juncheng. She curled her lips and said, "He doesn't believe me. What's there to worry about? Can I still let Peter Zhang bully me?"
Ever since Huo Juncheng asked Zheng Ronglan to come and play, Zheng Ronglan felt that something was wrong with Huo Juncheng. Don't be fooled by the fact that Huo Juncheng was wearing sunglasses and looking very cool as he sat under a parasol to rest, but his gaze was always in the direction of Lin Yilan and Chu Siran. Lin Yilan couldn't sense it, but Zheng Ronglan could see it very clearly.
Zheng Ronglan wanted to ask Huo Juncheng what was going on, but looking at Huo Juncheng's expression, he probably wouldn't be able to get anything out of him. Instead of doing that, he might as well go directly to Lin Yilan to ask about the situation.
So when the two people walked away, Zheng Ronglan followed them behind. The distance was not too far and not too close, so he could just hear the conversation between the two people. Then he understood what was going on.
Hearing Lin Yilan complain that Huo Juncheng didn't believe her, Zheng Ronglan, who was not far away, was a little unhappy. She quickly walked to the side of the two people and said, "What you said is not right. How can you say that Huo Juncheng doesn't believe you? This is how any man behaves, isn't it? My Madam Huo..."
"Why are you here? Weren't you with Huo Juncheng just now? When did you follow me? Why did you walk without making any sound? You scared me!" Chu Siran glared at Zheng Ronglan and put his hands on his chest to catch his breath.
"I can only say that you two were so engrossed in your conversation that you didn't notice me. I just don't want to be with Huo Juncheng. Look at his face now. It's like an ice cube. Even the sun can't melt it."
Hearing Zheng Ronglan teasing Huo Juncheng, Lin Yilan couldn't help laughing, "Isn't he always like this? It's not the first day you've known him."
"It's even colder today. I was wondering how Huo Juncheng, who's so busy, had time to play with me. I wonder if it's because he had a conflict with you."
Seeing Zheng Ronglan's frivolous look, Chu Siran punched him. "Why do you have nothing better to do than to join in the fun? You really just want to watch the fun and make trouble." Then Chu Siran looked at Lin Yilan. "Yilan, I think it would be better for you to tell Huo Juncheng that you are here."
"Yeah, yeah, it's not a big deal. Huo Juncheng is just worried about you. Besides, why would you have dinner with that Peter Zhang when you have nothing better to do? He's a really bad guy, well, it's hard to describe him in a few words. Even someone like me who doesn't really run the company knows he's not a very good person."
Lin Yilan knew that she was also wrong in this matter, but Huo Juncheng refused to explain anything to her and insisted on going to the appointment with her. Then he pulled her out without any reason and got angry with her.
