Chapter 226 Deepening Misunderstanding
Lin Yilan suddenly felt as if something was blocking her heart and became very uncomfortable. Chu Siran noticed Lin Yilan's abnormality and followed her gaze, and saw Huo Juncheng and Wang Yimo.
Chu Siran, who didn't know Wang Yimo, exclaimed in surprise when she saw this scene. This exclamation attracted a few onlookers. Her best friend felt a little embarrassed and scratched her head. She deliberately moved closer to Lin Yilan and whispered to Dongri.
"Why is Huo Juncheng here too? Does he know you're attending this party? You two are looking a bit awkward right now. And who is that woman next to him? Do you know her? Is Huo Juncheng cheating on you?"
Faced with Chu Siran's series of questions, Lin Yilan scratched her head awkwardly. Lin Yilan did not tell Chu Siran about the unpleasant incident with Huo Juncheng yesterday. Of course, Chu Siran did not ask either, thinking that Huo Juncheng really had something important to do and that was why he sent bodyguards to pick up Lin Yilan.
Chu Siran looked at Lin Yilan who didn't say anything, thinking that Lin Yilan was sad. She glanced in the direction of Huo Juncheng, but unexpectedly her eyes met Wang Yimo's. Chu Siran glared at Wang Yimo and completely regarded her as a vixen.
"How could Huo Juncheng be so blatant? He actually dragged another woman to the banquet, and then met you in such an occasion? Did he notice you just now? He noticed you, and yet he was so blatant! Let's go find him and have a good talk with him."
Seeing this, Lin Yilan quickly pulled the angry Chu Siran.
Chu Siran felt his right hand being clamped, and a trace of confusion flashed across his eyes. "Why is Yilan stopping me? I must go find Huo Juncheng and have a good argument with him. Isn't what he did too much?"
"Don't go. Let me explain to you." Lin Yilan said, and without caring about Chu Siran's reaction, she pulled Chu Siran into a lounge and told Chu Siran everything that had happened in the past two days, including, of course, the quarrel with Huo Juncheng yesterday.
After a while, Chu Siran quietly listened to all of Lin Yilan's retellings and then jumped out of his seat excitedly. "You didn't learn business knowledge for Huo Juncheng in the first place. How could he be so overbearing as to force you to learn!"
"Alas, I don't know why he is so obsessed with me learning these things. You said that in the past, even if I didn't accompany him to various banquets, he never asked for anything."
"If I were you, I would definitely have fought back. This is your own business. Why should Huo Juncheng have the final say? You just didn't want to go to class yesterday, so what? I'm really speechless!"
Chu Siran said this, glancing at Lin Yilan, who also looked helpless at the moment, and continued, "But what you said yesterday was really a bit too much. What if Huo Juncheng really gets involved with Wang Yimo?"
"What can I do? Aren't they both attending the party together now? Don't you think they knew each other before? Is letting Wang Yimo be my tutor just a cover?"
Chu Siran looked at Lin Yilan's worried expression and couldn't help laughing. "Yilan, why didn't I realize you have such a rich imagination before?"
"Stop teasing me. I regretted what I said yesterday. Although I don't know why Huo Juncheng is so obsessed with me learning those things, I know he's doing it for my own good. It was indeed my fault for getting so angry yesterday."
"Hey, stop reflecting on yourself right now. No matter how harsh your words were yesterday, Huo Juncheng couldn't just bring that woman, Wang Yimo, to the Li family's banquet. He's clearly trying to piss you off. He knew you would come to the Li family's banquet with me, but he still brought Wang Yimo along without hesitation."
Chu Siran said, pulling Lin Yilan out, "We can't let Huo Juncheng succeed like this, and we also want to see with our own eyes what kind of gift Mr. Li will give Chu Xi."
…
At the banquet, Lin Yilan subconsciously looked for Huo Juncheng's shadow, feeling anxious. She wanted to see Huo Juncheng, but was also afraid to see Huo Juncheng and Wang Yimo together. She suddenly realized that she had become so conflicted. This was not like her at all.
"Thank you all for coming to my banquet. As you all know, our Li Group, while doing well in other cities, is new here. I'm grateful for your help these days, which has helped us regain our footing."
Chu Siran had no interest in listening to Mr. Li's polite words. The only thing she was interested in now was how Mr. Li wanted to give her an explanation.
After admiring Chu Xi's miserable condition, she was eager to settle accounts with Huo Juncheng. Just because of the unpleasantness yesterday, Huo Juncheng actually came directly with Wang Yimo to anger Lin Yilan. It was simply unbearable.
After listening to Mr. Li talk for a long time, Chu Siran felt that if she were standing now, she would have fallen asleep long ago. This was even more drowsy than listening to American teachers' lectures when she was studying abroad.
Finally, when everyone thought that Mr. Li’s speech had ended, Mr. Li coughed twice, making it clear that he had something important to announce.
"Finally, there's one thing I have to mention. Daji also found out that our Li family is also involved in tableware. A while ago, we had some cooperation with Mr. Chu and Mr. Lin's milk tea shop, but due to the interference of certain people, our cooperation was almost cut short. I apologize."
When everyone heard what Mr. Li said, they all started to wonder who the "Mr. Chu" and "Mr. Lin" that Mr. Li was talking about were. After thinking for a long time, everyone still couldn't remember where these two people existed.
Lin Yilan looked at the people around her whispering and smiled helplessly at Chu Siran. "Look, when it comes to Chu Siran and Lin Yilan, everyone knows who they are, but when it comes to President Chu and President Lin, no one is familiar with them at all. Why do you insist on asking Mr. Li to call us that?"
Lin Yilan jokingly complained to Chu Siran. Chu Siran glanced at Lin Yilan and smiled devilishly, "It's okay if we don't know now, but we have our own business. We're also here at this banquet today because we're the founders of Yiran. Why can't we be called President Chu?"
"It doesn't matter if everyone doesn't like it now, but everyone will eventually get used to it." Chu Siran paused deliberately and drank the red wine in the glass.
Then he said loudly, "Everyone, no need to look for us. Mr. Chu and Mr. Lin are the two of us. Welcome everyone to our milk tea shop for milk tea."
When everyone heard Chu Siran's voice, they all turned their eyes to Chu Siran.
