Chapter 213: Venting in Public
"Huo Juncheng, you just said you were discussing cooperation with that man, and now you're telling your assistant to cancel your cooperation with him. Do you think you're having fun playing tricks on me like this?"
Although Lin Yilan's words were tinged with sarcasm towards Huo Juncheng, she felt more relieved. That man looked like a wretched man. Cooperating with him? Haha, if it weren't for this public place, facing that man's undisguised gaze, Lin Yilan would definitely beat him up!
"How do you know I wanted to cooperate with him? I was just talking to him. The partner has already found someone else. And the way he looked at you just now made me feel uncomfortable."
Hearing Huo Juncheng say this, Lin Yilan nodded in agreement, expressing her agreement, "That man is indeed a bit disgusting. You can't say that I judge people by their appearance. Just the look in that man's eyes makes me feel disgusted."
Lin Yilan muttered softly, and seeing that Huo Juncheng had no reaction, she continued.
"That's why I said I don't want to attend these parties. Look at all the people at these parties. It's a complete waste of time to stay in such places. I'd rather go to the cinema and watch a movie."
"If you promise me that you will accompany me to another party next time, I will take you to the movies right now."
"Really?" Lin Yilan's eyes lit up when she heard Huo Juncheng say this. She had just said it casually, but she didn't expect Huo Juncheng to really take her to the movies?
Although she didn't really want to watch a movie, she was too lazy to stay in such an occasion. But thinking about attending such a banquet with Huo Juncheng next time, Lin Yilan hesitated.
But she thought that although she didn't like such occasions, these were part of Huo Juncheng's job. It was quite tiring to be busy with these social events every day. He wanted her to accompany him so much, so it was okay for her to do it once or twice occasionally.
"Okay, let's get out of here now. I really don't want to stay here any longer."
Lin Yilan said, and was about to pull Huo Juncheng away from here. But at this moment, a sudden voice interrupted her steps that wanted to leave.
"Where is Madam Huo taking Mr. Huo? Mr. Huo and I haven't finalized our cooperation yet. Why are you in such a hurry to leave?"
When this man spoke, he deliberately raised his voice and spoke very loudly. When the people around heard the noise, the originally noisy environment gradually quieted down and they all looked over here to see what was going on.
"Mr. Huo, you just told me that we should have a good discussion about our cooperation when we have the chance. How come your assistant called me right after you left and said that Huo's company has canceled their cooperation with us? Mr. Huo, can you explain what this means?"
"Didn't your assistant tell you everything? What else do you want me to say?"
Faced with Huo Juncheng's indifferent expression, the man's suppressed anger erupted slightly, and his kind mask also showed some cracks.
"Then what's the meaning of Mr. Huo attending this banquet I held today? If you don't want to cooperate with me, why did you attend this banquet? Or did you really come to discuss cooperation with me, but suddenly changed your mind for some reason?"
When the man said this, his eyes stayed on Lin Yilan, and his eyes became meaningful. Lin Yilan felt a little uncomfortable under his stare, and subconsciously moved closer to Huo Juncheng.
"Mr. Zhang, please take your eyes off me."
"I know that the person next to Mr. Huo is your fiancée. It was wrong of me to mention someone else in front of you two just now, but I didn't know that the person next to Mr. Huo was your fiancée at the time. As the saying goes, ignorance is not a crime. And I believe Miss Lin is not so petty. Are you so petty because of such a small matter?"
Lin Yilan originally thought that this was a matter between this man and Huo Juncheng, but she didn't expect that this man would suddenly shift the topic to herself, which made her a little confused.
Noticing the scrutiny coming from all around, Lin Yilan felt that after this incident, these people should all recognize her, Lin Yilan...
But Lin Yilan was really a little uncomfortable with this repeated gaze.
Seeing Mr. Zhang's eyes blazing with anger and looking at her viciously, Lin Yilan said calmly out of politeness, "What do you mean? What does this have to do with me?"
"What does this have to do with you? It has a lot to do with you. If you hadn't gossiped about me in front of Mr. Huo, how could Mr. Huo change his mind so easily about this cooperation? Didn't I just mention Chu Xi in front of you? Mrs. Huo's mind is too narrow."
After hearing this man say this, Lin Yilan finally understood what was going on. It turned out that he had misunderstood that she had gossiped about him to Huo Juncheng. However, Lin Yilan didn't even know the man's name, nor did she know what kind of cooperation this man and Huo Juncheng had discussed. How could she gossip about him?
Besides, she just wanted to leave here, so she didn't care about Chu Xi or not. This man had such a rich imagination.
"Which successful man doesn't have a beautiful woman by his side these days? If Madam Huo can't tolerate this, how can she be Mr. Huo's fiancée? Besides, didn't Mr. Huo and that Chu Xi stop seeing each other a long time ago? Why is Miss Lin picking on our company?"
Seeing that Lin Yilan was silent, the man thought that Lin Yilan had heard what he had just said, and his expression revealed a bit of pride. Then he continued.
"If you don't like what I said, I apologize. I also hope that Mr. Huo will not cancel this cooperation so easily. We at Zhang are sincere about this cooperation. And I think there is no better partner than our Zhang in the market right now, right?"
Lin Yilan listened to this man's talk and felt overwhelmed. Not only was she wronged, but now she was being lectured by this greasy man? However, no matter how clearly she heard, she felt that this man's values were weird.
"Lin Yilan."
"Ah?" Lin Yilan didn't expect Huo Juncheng to call her name at this time. She responded subconsciously and looked at Huo Juncheng beside her, trying to see his intention from his face.
Huo Juncheng glanced at the man standing in front of them, talking nonstop, and then looked at Lin Yilan, "Shouldn't you take some action when he says that to you?"
Lin Yilan thought Huo Juncheng was joking with her. She fiddled with a broken diamond on her skirt and said casually, "I am quite angry. I want to beat him up, is that okay?"
Lin Yilan raised her eyebrows at Huo Juncheng after she finished speaking, clearly joking with him. However, she didn't expect Huo Juncheng to say a few words calmly: "Whether anyone is restraining you or not, do whatever you want."
Hearing Huo Juncheng say this, Lin Yilan opened her mouth in shock.
