Chapter 256 Too Much of a Coincidence
"You two are..."
Just when Lin Yilan and Huo Juncheng were in a stalemate, an old woman appeared from nowhere. Although time had carved a few wrinkles on her face, it could not conceal her stunning beauty in her youth.
Looking at the woman who suddenly appeared, Lin Yilan smiled at her and said, "I wonder who your aunt is..."
After hearing Lin Yilan's words, the old woman realized that she hadn't introduced herself yet. She smiled embarrassedly and said, "I'm Zhang Zilan's mother. I heard that Zilan was in trouble, so I rushed to Paris to see her. So, how is she? Is she okay now? Did you two save her?"
When Lin Yilan heard the woman say that she was Zhang Zilan's mother, she immediately understood and didn't care that the woman had just looked at her and Huo Juncheng with vigilance.
"I guess so. I just came here today to check on Zhang Zilan's injuries. As for how she is now and whether her injuries are serious or not, I don't know..."
"She's doing fine now. She just suffered some minor injuries and is a little weak, but everything else is fine."
Huo Juncheng looked at Lin Yilan and took over the conversation, but his face was still cold and his words were extremely cold. Although he said a good thing, that Zhang Zilan was not in danger and Zhang's mother could rest assured, the tone sounded like he was announcing Zhang Zilan's death.
As expected, when Zhang's mother heard what Huo Juncheng said, she smiled awkwardly. It was supposed to be a happy thing, but facing Huo Juncheng's tone, Zhang's mother always felt weird.
But out of courtesy and good manners, Zhang's mother still politely said thank you, "Then can I go in and see her now?"
"As you please."
Huo Juncheng indifferently spat out the three people, his eyes were on Lin Yilan the whole time, without giving any mercy to Zhang's mother.
At this moment, Zhang's mother also realized the awkward atmosphere around Huo Juncheng and Lin Yilan, and smiled dryly. Although she didn't know what was going on between the two of them, she came to see her child. As for Huo Juncheng and Lin Yilan, she was not curious.
Watching Zhang's mother turn the doorknob and walk into the ward, Lin Yilan also wanted to follow Zhang's mother to see Zhang Zilan's injuries, but she never expected to be blocked by Huo Juncheng.
"Do you think it's appropriate for you to go in now?"
"Why is it inappropriate? I'm also worried about Zhang Zilan's injury. Let me go in and see what's wrong. Besides, if I wasn't here to see Zhang Zilan's injury, why would I come to the hospital? Don't stop me."
Facing Lin Yilan's subconscious rebuttal, Huo Juncheng's expression did not improve at all. "Do you think Zhang Zilan wants to see her family the first moment she wakes up, or you, an insignificant outsider?"
Hearing Huo Juncheng say this, Lin Yilan immediately disliked it. "What do you mean by an insignificant outsider like me? Even if we've only known each other for a day, we've been through life and death together anyway."
"So, are you going to explain to me exactly what happened?"
Huo Juncheng couldn't bear it anymore and grabbed Lin Yilan's wrist with a hint of anger in his expression. Looking at Huo Juncheng like this, Lin Yilan curled her lips.
"That wasn't my intention. I actually wanted to call you, but I didn't expect..."
"Hey, why are you still standing at the door? Aren't you going to see Zhang Zilan? Why don't you go in?"
Before Lin Yilan could finish her words, Chu Siran interrupted her, "I'm sorry, I might have a stomachache from yesterday, so I have no choice but to go to the bathroom first. Are you waiting for me to go in with you?"
Seeing Chu Siran coming, Lin Yilan swallowed the words that were on the tip of her tongue. She glanced at Huo Juncheng and didn't say anything else. Instead, she hooked her hand on Chu Siran's shoulder.
"Zhang Zilan's mother is here. Let's go see Zhang Zilan next time we have a chance. Let's forget about it today."
Lin Yilan said this, pulling Chu Siran slowly out of the hospital, leaving Huo Juncheng standing there alone.
Huo Juncheng looked at Lin Yilan's leaving figure and frowned unhappily. At this time, his phone suddenly rang.
"Mr. Huo, let's have dinner together tonight. What have you thought about? You can't reject me again. I helped you so much in finding your fiancée's whereabouts. Even if you don't have that kind of feelings for me anymore, you can thank me and treat me to dinner, right?"
Faced with Jenny's invitation, Huo Juncheng originally wanted to refuse subconsciously, but when he saw Lin Yilan's disappeared figure, he actually agreed directly.
…
On the other side, Lin Yilan and Chu Siran came out and didn't know what to do for a moment. After what happened yesterday, the two of them were not in the mood to go shopping.
As the two of them were chatting, for some reason, the topic turned to Xu Ziwen. When Lin Yilan heard Chu Siran ask her how she and Xu Ziwen knew each other, she was a little confused.
"Don't you hate Xu Ziwen? Why are you still asking me about him?"
Hearing Lin Yilan say this, Chu Siran felt a little embarrassed and hit Lin Yilan, "I'm just asking casually. Besides, when did I ever tell you that I hate Xu Ziwen? In fact, I think boys like him who can sing opera are quite cute."
Hearing Chu Siran say this, even if Lin Yilan was slow in dealing with feelings, she now discovered something fishy, "Siran, tell me the truth, you don't like Xu Ziwen, do you?"
"I……"
Chu Siran didn't expect Lin Yilan to ask so directly. She was speechless for a moment and didn't know how to answer her. Lin Yilan looked at Chu Siran and understood.
"Xu Ziwen is indeed a good person. Not only is he a master of traditional Chinese opera, but he also has a good temper and treats people gently. If it were in the past, if I knew you liked Xu Ziwen, I would definitely do my best to bring you two together. But now you also know that Wang Yimo and Xu Ziwen..."
When Chu Siran heard Lin Yilan suddenly mention Wang Yimo, the shy expression on her face disappeared instantly.
"I also know that I shouldn't have developed such feelings for Xu Ziwen, but I didn't expect this feeling at first. It wasn't until yesterday when I was drunk and hugging Zheng Ronglan that the image of Xu Ziwen flashed through my mind. That's when I realized that I seemed to have really fallen in love with Xu Ziwen..."
Lin Yilan didn't know how to answer Chu Siran at this moment. After hesitating for a long time, she slowly said, "This is a bit difficult. I originally thought that it would be good for Wang Yimo and Xu Ziwen to be together again. After all, they were each other's first love."
Lin Yilan said, glanced at Chu Siran, and continued, "But now I want them to be unable to be together. Ah, it's too tangled."
