Chapter 208: Rooftop Confrontation
Huo Juncheng didn't give Lin Yilan any chance to explain. He swept his eyes over everyone present. Faced with Huo Juncheng's oppressive gaze, those who were watching the excitement wisely dispersed, but their eyes still subconsciously looked towards Huo Juncheng and Lin Yilan.
Cass looked at Huo Juncheng and Lin Yilan calmly, as if nothing had happened to him. Huo Juncheng turned his gaze away from Lin Yilan and looked at Cass next to him.
"Sir, even if my fiancée is really that attractive, you must understand that Lin Yilan is my fiancée. You have no chance."
Huo Juncheng finished speaking, and without waiting for Lin Yilan's reaction, he directly pulled Lin Yilan towards the rooftop. Lin Yilan could have broken free from Huo Juncheng, but facing the angry Huo Juncheng at the moment, she thought it was better to follow Huo Juncheng's footsteps.
"What's your relationship with that Cass? Why did he show up at the Huo family last time? Why were you with him just now? Also, the reason you didn't want me to come to the Mo family's dinner party was actually because of Cass, right?"
The wind was strong on the rooftop. Although it was late summer and the air was a bit humid and hot, the evening breeze from high above still made Lin Yilan feel a little cold.
"I explained it clearly to you last time. Cas is a partner of Yiran's milk tea shop, that's all. As for why I was with Cas just now, it was indeed a misunderstanding..."
Lin Yilan wanted to explain to Huo Juncheng, but how could she say that it was because that group of people misunderstood her relationship with Chu Siran that Huo Juncheng saw her and Cass together.
Seeing Huo Juncheng's face gradually darken, Lin Yilan panicked. "It really is a misunderstanding, and I didn't stop you from coming to the Mo family's party. It's just that I want to come to the Mo family with Chu Siran to discuss the endorsement with Mo Yanran, so I need the Mo family's invitation."
Hearing Lin Yilan's words, Huo Juncheng's expression did not improve at all, and his face remained gloomy. "At the Mo family's banquet, do you think it's so easy to meet Mo Yanran?"
"What if, if it weren't for you..." Lin Yilan was about to say it. If Huo Juncheng didn't look down on their milk tea shop, he would definitely not agree to meet Mo Yanran, and they wouldn't have gone to so much trouble.
"Because of me? Because of what?"
Looking at Huo Juncheng's face, Lin Yilan said she was scared and quickly changed her words, "If you hadn't dragged me here now, I would have gone to find Chu Siran, and maybe we would have already negotiated the endorsement."
Hearing Lin Yilan say this, Huo Juncheng laughed in anger. "How can you be so sure that the high-minded and low-skilled eldest daughter of the Mo family will agree to cooperate with you? Don't you think your idea is a bit naive?"
"How could she be childish? What if we talk her into it? She actually agreed to cooperate with us in the beginning. If it weren't for that little accident, our cooperation would have already been concluded."
"Accident, what accident?" Huo Juncheng looked at Lin Yilan's mumbling appearance and felt that Lin Yilan's words contained complaints about him. It was obvious that Lin Yilan was wrong now, but this woman actually spoke to him in this tone. He was very unhappy.
“It’s because… because…”
"Why?"
Lin Yilan hadn't wanted to tell the truth. After all, this was a bit unfair to Huo Juncheng. It was clearly a case of exploiting Huo Juncheng's popularity in the city to profit for her own milk tea shop. Even worse, Mo Yanran might have ulterior motives towards Huo Juncheng.
"Tell me, you used to be quite articulate when arguing with me, but why are you so stammering now? I'm curious, your words are full of complaints about me, is it related to me?"
Faced with Huo Juncheng's "provocation", Lin Yilan ignored everything and simply explained the matter to Huo Juncheng directly, "Because Mo Yanran wanted to meet you, Huo Juncheng, I promised to help her ask you out for dinner, but...but you don't even take our milk tea shop seriously. I don't need to tell you that you will definitely disagree."
Seeing Huo Juncheng's stunned expression, Lin Yilan felt a little guilty. After thinking for a moment, she stammered and said, "I know it was wrong of me to agree to Mo Yanran without discussing it with you first, but we are also trying to find a way to establish normal cooperation with Mo Yanran."
"Lin Yilan."
Lin Yilan wanted to explain something, but when she heard Huo Juncheng suddenly calling her, she focused all her attention on Huo Juncheng, waiting for his next words.
"Mo Yanran said she wanted to treat me to a meal, and you agreed without even thinking, right?"
“No, I did think about it for a while…”
Hearing Lin Yilan say this, Huo Juncheng helplessly supported his forehead and asked, "Why do you think Mo Yanran wants to have dinner with me?"
Facing Huo Juncheng's question, Lin Yilan was stunned. "Isn't it to expand your network?"
"Expanding her network? As a celebrity in the entertainment industry, why would she expand my network? And even if it's for the Mo family, does treating me to a meal mean we've sealed the deal?"
Lin Yilan didn't think much about these things at first, and she didn't particularly understand these things in the business world, but now after hearing Huo Juncheng say this, she also felt something was wrong.
To be precise, when Chu Siran joked with her that Mo Yanran liked Huo Juncheng, Lin Yilan realized something was wrong. Just as Huo Juncheng had just said, if Mo Yanran wanted to get to know Huo Juncheng, there were a hundred ways, and no matter which one, it would be more practical than using the cooperation with Chu Siran's milk tea shop as a condition.
"You really don't know Mo Yanran?" Lin Yilan frowned as she looked at Huo Juncheng in front of her. "Could it be that she likes you and wants to pursue you?"
Huo Juncheng raised his eyes and smacked his lips. "I really don't have much contact with her. As for whether she likes me or not, I'm not her, how would I know?"
Lin Yilan was about to say something when a clear female voice interrupted her, "Why are you two talking about me? As for whether I like Mr. Huo or not, this question should be asked to me."
Lin Yilan looked in the direction of the voice and saw Mo Yanran leaning on the railing with a glass of red wine in her hand and a look of comfort on her face. She didn't pay attention to her surroundings when the two people came in just now. It seemed that Mo Yanran should have been here before the two people came in.
Mo Yanran admired the two people's slightly surprised looks with satisfaction. "Why are you two so shocked? The rooftop is a public place. No one restricts others from entering here. Besides, I got here before you two."
Hearing Mo Yanran say this, Lin Yilan smiled awkwardly. Compared to when Huo Juncheng questioned her relationship with Cass just now, she felt that it was more embarrassing for Mo Yanran to catch her and Huo Juncheng talking about Mo Yanran.
