Chapter 283: An unexpected encounter
Qin Chaotian looked at Chu Siran and knew that no matter what he said, Chu Siran would not agree with what was happening between them. Qin Chaotian had heard a lot about Chu Siran's character, but he only saw it for himself today.
As expected, the young lady of the Chu family has a shrewd personality. She dares to say and do what she wants. She didn't even know how to be tactful in the face of his confession, and she rejected him directly and decisively!
But it doesn't matter. The cooperation between the Qin family and the Chu family has already begun. If the Chu family really values its own interests, even if Chu Siran disagrees, the Chu family will find a way to make Chu Siran agree.
So even though Qin Chaotian was extremely displeased with Chu Siran, he did not show it and still smiled politely at Chu Siran.
"Miss Chu, are you free on Sunday? How about I treat you to a movie?"
"Don't you understand what I'm saying? I've already told you I'm not interested in you, and that our marriage will never be successful. Instead of wasting your time on me, I think Mr. Qin should find someone else."
After Chu Siran finished speaking, he pulled Lin Yilan and was about to leave. Qin Chaotian looked at Chu Siran's movements and quickly stopped her, "Miss Chu, why are you in such a hurry to leave? It's not too late to leave after dinner."
"I appreciate Mr. Qin's kindness, but I think we'd better forget about this meal. I'm afraid I might do something that would make Mr. Qin misunderstand that I like you, or that he wouldn't understand what I'm saying. I'm stressing this now: I will not marry you. No matter what happens, I won't choose to marry you. So I hope Mr. Qin won't waste his time on me anymore."
Qin Chaotian looked at Chu Siran's receding figure, the smile on his lips gradually disappeared, replaced by a stern look between his brows.
Who would have thought that it would be so difficult to win over the second lady of the Chu family?
If it weren't for the company's interests, he wouldn't bother wasting time with Chu Siran in this restaurant. Instead of marrying such a woman, he would rather support an obedient young actress.
…
"So the Chu family's main purpose for you going to the family dinner last night was to arrange a blind date for you?"
"What blind date? If it was a blind date, it would be fine. I would have room to refuse. But this time, they directly informed me that I would marry that Qin Chaotian. There is no room for refusal at all. But do they think I will listen to them obediently? Who am I, Chu Siran, to marry that Qin Chaotian!"
"What if the Chu family insists on marrying you to Qin Chaotian?"
"I don't believe my mother and father don't know what Qin Chaotian is like. This wasn't their original intention. It was all the work of those old fools from the Chu family. They wanted to sacrifice me to expand the Chu family's interests! If they really force me, I have ten thousand ways to fight them to the death."
Hearing Chu Siran say this, Lin Yilan felt relieved. As long as Chu Siran would not marry Qin Chaotian, that would be enough. As for the rest, Lin Yilan didn't care.
"Oh, I suddenly remembered something."
"Hmm?" Lin Yilan tilted her head and waited quietly for Chu Siran's next words.
"Didn't you save a girl in Paris? I bumped into her last night and was surprised at the time. I didn't even know her, so why did she come over and say hello? But then we got to talking and I realized it was you who saved that girl."
"I didn't expect you to run into Zhang Zilan. To be honest, I haven't been to the hospital to visit her for various reasons since I sent her there. I do feel a little guilty about this. How is she now? Is her injury better?"
"She looks pretty good. She told me she wanted to thank you and invite you to the Zhang family tonight. She asked me to pass it on. I thought you wouldn't have anything else to do these days, and last time you and I went to the hospital, we ran into Huo Juncheng. You said you were going to see how Zhang Zilan was doing, but we didn't get to see her in the end."
Chu Siran said, looking at Lin Yilan, paused and said again: "So I agreed directly at the time, but we have each other's contact information. If you have something to do in the evening, you can refuse."
Hearing Chu Siran say this, Lin Yilan agreed without thinking.
"Then I'll go to Zhang's house tonight. Do you want to come with me?"
"Me? Forget it. They invited you and wanted to thank you for saving their lives. How can I go with you? You should go by yourself. I'll think about the theme tea shop tonight."
Lin Yilan thought about it and realized that it was indeed not appropriate for Chu Siran to go with her to the Zhang family.
"Then I'll come back after I see Zhang Zilan and plan the themed milk tea shop with you. Don't miss me too much."
While Lin Yilan was talking, she did not forget to joke with Chu Siran. When Chu Siran saw the flying kiss from Lin Yilan, he pretended to be disgusted.
"We'll be going to Zhang's tonight, so let's figure out where to eat lunch."
…
When Lin Yilan and Chu Siran ran into Chu Xi in the restaurant, they really refused. How come they just got rid of Qin Chaotian and now Chu Xi came? Did Chu Siran have a retrograde Mercury today? Why did she always meet these people she didn't want to see?
When Lin Yilan saw Chu Xi, her reaction was not as intense as Chu Siran's. It could even be said that she simply ignored Chu Xi.
"No way, Yilan, you don't have any reaction when you see Chu Xi?"
"How can I react? Anyway, I haven't seen Chu Xi for a long time. What Chu Xi does has nothing to do with me. Or, is she causing you trouble?"
Hearing Lin Yilan's question, Chu Siran thought about it seriously and replied, "That's not the case. I just had a conditioned reflex when I saw Chu Xi. I felt uncomfortable all over when I saw her."
Chu Siran smacked his lips as he spoke, then continued, "Last time at the Li family, after Chu Xi was lectured by Old Master Li about our collaboration, she actually became much quieter. You know, even at the Chu family dinner yesterday, she didn't bother me. Honestly, I'm still a little uncomfortable with this Chu Xi."
"Well, what can I say about you... So, should we eat at another restaurant, or stay here?"
"Forget it. We've tried almost every restaurant on this street, and this one is still the best. Why should we go somewhere else just for Chu Xi?"
When Lin Yilan heard Chu Siran say this, she nodded in agreement.
Chu Xi had actually noticed Chu Siran and Lin Yilan a long time ago. The reason why she chose to ignore them was because she had more important things to do and more important people to see.
Speak of the devil and he will appear. Look, the person she was waiting for has finally arrived.
Chu Xi raised her eyes and was surprised to see the woman in front of her. It was not until the woman sat in front of her and asked the waiter for a glass of water that Chu Xi finally reacted.
