Chapter 269: Attention Diversion
Zheng Ronglan felt that time was passing by second by second. He didn't expect Huo Juncheng to be so slow in dealing with feelings. He was even curious about how Huo Juncheng got together with Jenny when he was studying abroad.
There was a long pause, so long that Zheng Ronglan lost her patience to wait any longer, before Huo Juncheng slowly said, "Maybe he likes it."
Hearing Huo Juncheng say this, Zheng Ronglan's eyes lit up. Huo Juncheng actually admitted it! Huo Juncheng actually admitted it!
Zheng Ronglan was still in shock when she heard Huo Juncheng continue, "But even if I like Lin Yilan, so what? Lin Yilan is with her boyfriend now and has completely forgotten her identity as the Huo family's young lady."
"That's easy. I'll ask Lin Yilan what she thinks these two days. But you have to ask Jenny to move out of your Huo family right away. Mrs. Huo has been traveling abroad these days and doesn't know about your affairs. If Mrs. Huo knew about this, it would be disastrous."
After Zheng Ronglan finished speaking, he looked at Huo Juncheng. Seeing Huo Juncheng's sullen face and the way he said nothing, Zheng Ronglan sighed and said, "Forget it, forget it. You can handle your own affairs. I'll ask Lin Yilan what she thinks for you in the next two days."
Huo Juncheng achieved his goal and directly drove Zheng Ronglan out.
When Zheng Ronglan stood at the door, he finally realized what was going on. It turned out that his brother was now a complete tool. He agreed to help Huo Juncheng, but Huo Juncheng directly kicked him out?
No, no, Zheng Ronglan can't be so humble. If Huo Juncheng wants him, Zheng Ronglan, to help him with anything else, Zheng Ronglan must ask Huo Juncheng for some benefits. After all, he has been eyeing a limited edition Lamborghini for a long time.

The next day, Lin Yilan went to the theater as usual to learn opera from Xu Ziwen. These days, she was either abroad or delayed by other things. Calculating the time, she had not come to practice for nearly a week.
The last time she met Xu Ziwen was when she ran into him and Wang Yimo on the streets of Paris. When mentioning Wang Yimo, Lin Yilan was quite curious about how their relationship developed so quickly.
However, Lin Yilan never expected that when she arrived at the theater, she would actually see Wang Yimo and Xu Ziwen being affectionate with each other. This was too...
Wang Yimo noticed Lin Yilan standing not far away and waved to her, "Hello, Sister Yilan, when did you come here? Neither of us noticed you just now."
Hearing Wang Yimo's words, Lin Yilan laughed dryly. Lin Yilan felt that she seemed to have come at a wrong time, but it was even more unreasonable to leave like that.
Well, she was in a dilemma. She couldn't leave, nor could she stay.
But Xu Ziwen didn't think it was a big deal. He held Wang Yimo's hand and continued to look at her gently. "Yilan asked me to learn opera. I told you before, how about we go out for dinner together this afternoon?"
"Of course I know Sister Yilan came to you to learn opera. If it weren't for your relationship with Sister Yilan, how could we two be together again? Then I'll leave first."
Xu Ziwen nodded at Wang Yimo, and Wang Yimo left immediately.
Lin Yilan was still awkwardly standing there, and tentatively asked, "Am I here at the wrong time?"
Xu Ziwen couldn't help but laugh when he heard Lin Yilan say that. "Didn't you come here to practice at this time? What do you mean you came at the wrong time? You haven't practiced for a week. After such a long time, aren't you afraid of losing your skills?"
"I don't want to either. I've been having too many worries lately. If possible, I'd rather stay in the theater and not bother to deal with all that."
"Are you interested in participating in the latest theater performance?"
"ah?"
When Lin Yilan heard what Xu Zi asked, she didn't react for a moment. Did he mean that he wanted her to perform on stage? But could her kung fu really be good enough to perform on stage?
Lin Yilan felt a little guilty at the moment, but to be honest, she was indeed tempted by Xu Ziwen's proposal.
"Can I?"
"Why not? You're a pretty good singer to begin with. If you were any better than those apprentices, why would I have accepted you as my apprentice? Even though you're still a long way behind me, you're definitely capable of performing on stage."
Xu Ziwen said this while joking.
After hearing what Xu Zi asked, Lin Yilan couldn't help laughing. "Why do you suddenly want me to perform on stage? Could it be that the people in the theater can't stand seeing you showing off your affection every day, so they all left. They must have run out of manpower, so they thought of me."
"What are you talking about, girl? I have such a large troupe, don't you think there is anyone? I teach you opera for free every day, and you should have performed for our theater for free several times, right?"
"But I've been feeling down these past few days. I'm afraid I'll make a mistake on stage and ruin your theater's reputation."
"I've more or less understood what's been going on these past few days. I originally wanted you to perform on stage so you could relax. Focus on practicing these past two days and stop thinking about those other things. Got it?"
After hearing what Xu Ziwen said, Lin Yilan finally understood why Xu Ziwen suddenly mentioned to her that he wanted her to perform on stage. It turned out that Xu Ziwen was concerned about her.
Xu Ziwen knew that Lin Yilan had many friends who gave her verbal comfort. Apart from others, Chu Siran would definitely be by her side to accompany her.
However, sometimes, the more people are comforted, the worse they feel. This is because no matter how others comfort them, the person being comforted cannot get over their sadness. Instead, they will fall deeper and deeper into that sad mood.
The best and most effective way is to help the sad person divert his attention from the sad event and focus his attention elsewhere, so that he can temporarily get over the sad event.
Of course, Xu Ziwen had actually wanted to let Lin Yilan perform on stage a long time ago, and it wasn't groundless that he suddenly mentioned this today.
Lin Yilan looked at Xu Ziwen who was standing in front of her and said sincerely, "Thank you."
"So, don't just stand there now. Come over and practice. If you want your performance to go smoothly, you can't be lazy these next two days. Got it?"
At this moment, Xu Ziwen pretended to look at Lin Yilan seriously. Lin Yilan looked at Xu Ziwen and cooperated with him obediently, saying, "I understand."
