Chapter 255: Friendly Reminder
As soon as Lin Yilan woke up the next day, she discussed with Chu Siran about going to see Zhang Zilan to check on her condition. As the two of them sat in the car, Chu Siran finally asked about his doubts.
"Yilan, you called me and said you'd bring Zhang Zilan to the bar to hang out with me. I never asked you who this Zhang Zilan was, and how did you two know each other?"
When Lin Yilan heard Chu Siran ask this, she realized that she had not told Chu Siran what happened yesterday.
"I went to the bathroom before the party started, and there I saw Zhang Zilan and Huang Liyuan, the woman who kidnapped me and Zhang Zilan. They were arguing in the bathroom. Then Zhang Zilan said she came to Paris because of Huang Liyuan, and that her English wasn't very good, so she wanted me to help her."
"But her English is not good, but you don't speak any English at all. She is asking you for help, but it's more like you need her for language communication."
"That's why I discussed going to the bar with Zhang Zilan to find you, and asking you to comfort her. You know, I'm a bit slow when it comes to relationships, so I really don't know how to comfort her."
Faced with Chu Siran's teasing, Lin Yilan curled her lips, but was not angry. Instead, she began to explain why she and Zhang Zilan went to find Chu Siran.
Hearing Lin Yilan say this, Chu Siran instantly became interested, "Are you saying that Zhang Zilan and that woman named Huang Liyuan quarreled over emotional matters?"
Lin Yilan didn't know why Chu Siran was so excited when she heard her say that the two of them had a quarrel because of their relationship, but looking at Chu Siran's expression, she nodded ignorantly.
Seeing Lin Yilan nod, Chu Siran didn't wait for Lin Yilan's reaction, shaking his head and said, "I think so. Two women quarreling in an environment like the bathroom, if it's not because they like the same man, there really is no better reason to explain it."
"No, no, they don't like the same person." Lin Yilan quickly retorted with a righteous look on her face.
Hearing Lin Yilan's words, Chu Siran tilted his head in confusion and looked at Lin Yilan, waiting for Lin Yilan's next words, "Since it's because of emotional problems, then if it's not because two people like the same person, then what else could it be?"
"The man Zhang Zilan likes is her brother, Zhang Ziyu." Lin Yilan looked at Chu Siran's shocked expression after she said this and quickly added, "They are not biological siblings. Zhang Zilan was adopted by the Zhang family. They were together before, but later separated. Later, for some reason, the Zhang family adopted Zhang Zilan."
"Oh, I was wondering. You scared me. So what? You mean that Huang Liyuan doesn't like Zhang Ziyu? If Huang Liyuan doesn't like Zhang Ziyu, then what is there for Zhang Zilan and Huang Liyuan to argue about?"
"Because Zhang Zilan likes Zhang Ziyu, but Zhang Ziyu likes Huang Liyuan, and Huang Liyuan seems to just be having fun with Zhang Ziyu. Zhang Zilan feels sorry for Zhang Ziyu and wants to settle the score with Huang Liyuan..."
"So, this woman Zhang Zilan almost got herself into trouble because she wanted to settle the score with Zhang Ziyu?" Chu Siran took over before Lin Yilan finished speaking.
Hearing Chu Siran's words, Lin Yilan nodded obediently, "That's roughly what I mean."
"Well, it seems that Zhang Zilan is truly deeply in love with Zhang Ziyu. I'm curious about what kind of person Zhang Ziyu is. The Zhang family isn't a wealthy family, but they've done pretty well in business over the past two years. It's just that I've never heard of Zhang Ziyu."
Hearing Chu Siran say this, Lin Yilan was a little confused, "Why do you suddenly mention the Zhang family? We are talking about the matter between Zhang Zilan and Zhang Ziyu now. What does this have to do with the Zhang family?"
Looking at Lin Yilan's innocent look, Chu Siran couldn't help laughing out loud. But when he thought about it, although Lin Yilan had started to learn business knowledge now, she didn't grow up in the business circle after all.
People like them are destined to be in this circle for the rest of their lives from birth. When they mention certain figures, they will inevitably think of the families behind them subconsciously. What's worse, they will think about whether they can get any benefits by making friends with them and whether they can bring benefits to their families.
Of course, Chu Siran disdained the latter's idea, but for the former, she subconsciously thought of the Zhang family behind Zhang Zilan and Zhang Ziyu...
"It's indeed the relationship between Zhang Zilan and Zhang Ziyu. It doesn't seem to have anything to do with the Zhang family, but people living in this circle can easily see their family backgrounds. There's a saying that goes, 'No friendship without benefits.'"
Hearing Chu Siran say this, Lin Yilan frowned. This was the first time she had seen Chu Siran like this.
Chu Siran also noticed Lin Yilan's slightly shocked expression and patted her shoulder to comfort her. "Of course I don't think that way. The reason I told you this is that I want you to understand more or less. You must not be asked about other people's calculations. Do you hear me?"
Lin Yilan shook her lower lip. "You mean, you think Zhang Zilan had some ulterior motive when she contacted me? But when she saw me in the bathroom, she didn't know who I was, and she even sneaked into the party..."
"I'm just telling you, I didn't say Zhang Zilan was that kind of person. Although there are more bad people in this circle, there are also good people. I haven't even met Zhang Zilan, so how can I know she's a bad person? But that Huang Liyuan, she doesn't like Zhang Ziyu but she's still with her, isn't it just for the Zhang family's money?"
Hearing Chu Siran say this, Lin Yilan nodded as if she understood, although she still didn't understand why some people would be with someone they didn't like just for money.
Wouldn't it be tormenting?
…
When the two arrived at the hospital, they saw Huo Juncheng standing at the door. Lin Yilan was slightly startled, "Why are you here?"
"Why can't I be here? I can come and see the man's injuries, right?"
Facing Huo Juncheng's expressionless question, Lin Yilan pursed her lips, indicating that she didn't want to pay attention to Huo Juncheng. Huo Juncheng saw Lin Yilan's expression and wanted to ask her what was going on, but when the words came to his lips, he didn't know how to start.
I just stood there in a daze, not knowing how to react.
The two stood there awkwardly for a while. Lin Yilan couldn't stand it anymore and finally broke the awkward atmosphere. "So I'm going to go in and see Zhang Zilan now. Can you please stop blocking the door of the ward?"
After hearing Lin Yilan say this, Huo Juncheng realized that he had been standing in front of the door, blocking Lin Yilan's way in.
