Chapter 270: The So-called Reconciliation
Lin Yilan has been concentrating on practicing opera these two days and has not thought much about Huo Juncheng's affairs.
Just as Xu Ziwen said, when faced with a sad thing, no matter how others comfort you, you will still feel uncomfortable. If you really want to get out of it, diverting your attention is definitely a good choice.
I just don’t know why Wang Yimo wanted to invite Lin Yilan to dinner today. Although Lin Yilan wanted to refuse, she couldn’t resist Wang Yimo’s invitation and had to agree.
"Sister Yilan, I know you still have some opinions about me, which I completely understand. But I invited you to dinner today because I sincerely want to thank you. Thank you for bringing Xu Ziwen and I back together."
Lin Yilan sat on a chair and looked at the restaurant's furnishings. Compared with those high-end restaurants, this restaurant did not seem so outstanding, but it was simple yet stylish, which was the style that Lin Yilan liked.
"You don't have to say that. I'm happy for both of you that you and Xu Ziwen are back together. After all, Xu Ziwen has been teaching me opera, so it's only natural for me to help him out a little bit."
"I know Sister Yilan is a very kind person. Although it's a luxury for me to treat you to a meal and beg for your forgiveness, you go to the theater to practice opera every day and have such a good relationship with Ziwen. The relationship between you and me can't be too bad..."
Hearing Wang Yimo say this, Lin Yilan tilted her head and looked at Wang Yimo's expression. He seemed to be sincere and didn't seem to be pretending. It seemed that Wang Yimo really wanted to reconcile with Lin Yilan this time.
Lin Yilan originally didn't mind what happened to Wang Yimo last time, but now looking at Wang Yimo's sincere face, she thought about Wang Yimo's current relationship with Xu Ziwen.
With a hearty bow, he said, "I've long since forgotten what happened last time. Besides, you're already with Xu Ziwen, so why should I care? I sincerely wish you and Xu Ziwen a long and happy life together."
Wang Yimo smiled brightly when she heard Lin Yilan's words. "Thank you, Sister Yilan. I knew that Sister Yilan was such a generous person and would definitely not make a fuss about me. I know that Sister Yilan doesn't like to dine in overly high-end restaurants and feels constrained, so I specially chose this place. Are you satisfied?"
"You know what? I often pass by here on my way to practice with the troupe, but I've never been here before. If you hadn't invited me here today, I would have missed out on a restaurant that's so perfect for me."
The two chatted idly, and before they knew it, the topic had run out and they both fell into silence. Lin Yilan felt that the atmosphere was a bit awkward and coughed twice.
Wang Yimo stole a glance at Lin Yilan, thinking that the time had finally come. He put on a harmless smile and looked at Lin Yilan.
"Sister Yilan, I've been reading the news these past few days. Are you and Mr. Huo having any unpleasantness? And who is that guy the media reported as your boyfriend? He can't really be your boyfriend, right? But what about Mr. Huo?"
Lin Yilan hadn't expected Wang Yimo to bring up Huo Juncheng, and her expression instantly darkened. Wang Yimo noticed this detail on Lin Yilan's face, but didn't let it stop her from wanting to know the reason behind the incident.
Lin Yilan laughed dryly. "I'm not particularly comfortable discussing this with you. As for Huo Juncheng and I...it might not be long before someone else takes the position of Young Madam of the Huo family."
"Huh? What's going on? Does Mr. Huo have someone else he likes? I heard that he brought a woman back from abroad and arranged for her to live in the Huo family. Is this true?"
In reality, Wang Yimo knew all about this news. However, she still pretended to know nothing, looking at Lin Yilan, waiting for her next words, hoping to hear some inside information from her.
Wang Yimo's life wasn't easy. She planned everything to win over Huo Juncheng, even going so far as to temporarily stay with Xu Ziwen to achieve her goal. But in the end, her love rival wasn't Lin Yilan, but another woman!
Wang Yimo felt bitter, but she had no choice but to swallow her bitterness and had no one to talk to.
"True or false, false or true, it's all Huo Juncheng's business. I don't know what it has to do with me. If you're interested, you can send someone to find out. There's no need to ask me here."
When Wang Yimo heard Lin Yilan say this, she knew that she would not be able to get any information about Huo Juncheng from Lin Yilan. Her hands under the table were clenched into fists because of anger, but she still maintained a decent smile on her face.
"I'm sorry for being so presumptuous. I'm really sorry, Sister Yilan. I was just asking casually, just asking casually."
Because Wang Yimo suddenly mentioned Huo Juncheng, the atmosphere between the two of them fell into a strange state. Lin Yilan ate a little bit and left.
Wang Yimo looked at Lin Yilan's back as she left, and the smile on her face disappeared without a trace, completely losing the brightness she had just had.
She had put so much effort into setting up this plan, and she had calculated everything, but she had never expected that something would go wrong with Lin Yilan. It was still unknown whether Lin Yilan and Huo Juncheng would still be together in the future.
"You can't chase the person you like this way. Now that it has become like this, what are you waiting for? Why don't you give it a try and see if President Huo will change his mind this time and let you take the position of the Huo family's young lady?"
Wang Yimo came back to his senses and looked at the woman who suddenly appeared in front of him.
The woman was wearing a high-end black evening dress, a pair of ten-centimeter high heels, and the most exquisite makeup on her face.
It was obvious at first glance that this woman did not come to this restaurant specifically for dinner. Then why did she suddenly appear in front of him? Also, how did she know that she liked Huo Juncheng?
Wang Yimo pretended to be calm and glanced at the woman in front of him with disdain. "Who told you that I like Huo Juncheng? Who are you, woman? You suddenly appeared in front of me. Are you crazy?"
The woman didn't change her attitude because of Wang Yimo's ridicule. Instead, she chuckled softly. "Just because you say you like Huo Juncheng doesn't mean I don't know you like him. I came here to remind you that if you keep pursuing Huo Juncheng like this, you're doomed to fail. If you want to get Huo Juncheng, you should take the initiative."
"Who are you, and what is your purpose?"
"Didn't I tell you already? I'm just here to kindly remind you. If you insist on saying I have some ulterior motive... then just assume I have a grudge against that woman Lin Yilan. You better do your best and snatch Huo Juncheng away from Lin Yilan before it's too late."
