Chapter 398: Broken Engagement
Huo Juncheng looked at Lin Yilan helplessly... What had he just said to make his grandmother think such a thing? Lin Yilan exchanged glances with him, then quickly looked away. She saw the cake on the table, walked over, picked up a piece, and tasted it. "It tastes really good, Huo Juncheng. I'll accept your bribe. I'll leave the pastry chef job to you!" She tried to escape, but after taking two steps, she stopped and continued, "By the way! Remember to find two masters. I've opened a chain store in the next city."
Huo Juncheng: "..."
Lin Yilan carried the dessert back to her room with great satisfaction.
The next morning, Chu Siran drove to the outside of the Huo family villa. Due to her previous awkward relationship with Huo Juncheng, she couldn't go in, so she called Lin Yilan from outside: "What are you busy with? Come down and show me the house."
"What house are you looking at? Have you bought a house yet?"
"You know that the Qin family wants to buy a house for Qin Chaotian and me. I'm now 'married into a wealthy family', so how can I not have something like a wedding house?" Chu Siran asked Lin Yilan to accompany her to look at houses for a small reason, but actually wanted to see Lin Yilan's situation from the side.
Before she finished speaking, a call came in on her phone. Chu Siran glanced at the phone and saw that it was Qin Chaotian calling. She thought Qin Chaotian wanted to talk to her about something, so she said a few words to Lin Yilan and hurriedly hung up her call and transferred the call to Qin Chaotian.
"What's wrong?" Chu Siran asked.
A calm voice came from the other side: "Let's cancel the engagement." Then came the reason Chu Siran wanted to hear: "I don't think we're a good match. Our personalities and everything else are not compatible. I won't cancel our cooperation with the Qin family. I just think your sister is more suitable for me."
Chu Siran was completely stunned! It felt like a pair of hands were pressing down on her chest, making it impossible to breathe. She even suspected she was hallucinating... This man actually thought being with her was inappropriate? He was going to be with Chu Xi?
She hesitated for two seconds, and her brain seemed to have crashed... She was still unable to think.
Qin Chaotian thought Chu Siran's silence meant he agreed, so he still asked politely, "Chu Siran, are you okay?"
Chu Siran still didn't reply to him.
"Then I'll hang up. I'll announce the details on a later date."
Chu Siran's hands seemed to lose control... She felt a sudden pang of sadness as she listened to every word the other person said. What was that hug before? What was their cooperation? Hadn't he come to her to work with her?
Why...it ended?
Chu Siran was caught off guard by the sudden disconnection. Her hand trembled, and the phone fell to the ground. The thud brought Chu Siran back to reality. Yes, Qin Chaotian had just called off their engagement and informed her who his next bride would be.
Lin Yilan put on a coat and arrived in front of Chu Siran's car, waiting for Chu Siran to open the door for her. However, Chu Siran treated her as if she didn't exist! "What are you staring at? Open the door!" Lin Yilan banged on the car window twice.
Chu Siran finally reacted and opened the car door with an "oh".
Lin Yilan noticed that Chu Siran looked a little strange and asked quickly, "What's wrong? Is there something wrong at home?"
"No..." Chu Siran replied stiffly: "Lin Yilan, my engagement has been broken off."
"What?" Lin Yilan's head was full of question marks. Didn't she just call and ask me to accompany her to look at houses? Now she was broken off the engagement?
“What should I do…?”
"Qin Chaotian just called me and said he wants to cancel our engagement and marry Chu Xi..." Chu Siran's beautiful big eyes were instantly filled with crystal clear tears, and then those tears fell from her red eye sockets one by one like pearls.
Lin Yilan felt distressed when she saw this, but this was good news for her.
Chu Siran and Qin Chaotian are not suitable for each other. Chu Siran is kind, simple and cute, while Qin Chaotian is too cunning. If these two get married... Chu Siran will be sold out by Qin Chaotian without even knowing it.
Lin Yilan knew that Chu Siran liked Qin Chaotian, so she couldn't pour cold water on her at this moment. She rubbed her shoulders and comforted her, "Chu Siran, can you have some backbone? He's just a man, isn't he? It's his loss if he doesn't want you. Besides, didn't you say it before? Qin Chaotian has a bad reputation outside. Wouldn't it be better if he didn't want you? Why did you change your mind again now?"
"Yeah." Chu Siran's shoulders shrugged as she cried, her voice coming out in fits and starts. "That man is just not worthy of me! He has terrible character, goes back on his word, and is a liar."
"Yes! He's a liar! A big liar! He's not worthy of our Chu Siran at all!" Lin Yilan had wanted to scold Qin Chaotian for a long time! Patting Chu Siran on the shoulder, she continued to scold him, "I'll scold him with you. If you don't feel relieved, I'll take you to Qin Chaotian's house right now and beat him up in front of you! Just tell him you want a few of his ribs!"
"All of it! I want him to spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair!"
"Okay, drive!"
Chu Siran turned around angrily, wiped away her tears and was about to drive, but then got out of the car again. She was really afraid that Lin Yilan would go after the other person... Breaking someone's ribs could be considered a minor injury and the person would have to pay compensation or go to jail.
She's already like this, so don't involve Lin Yilan.
Chu Siran sighed deeply. "Forget it. A good woman doesn't fight with a man. Now that I think about it, I should be thankful I didn't marry him. It's a good thing this happened before marriage. We haven't had any contact yet. If this happened after marriage, wouldn't I be ruined? If he and Chu Xi had cheated on me while I was pregnant, wouldn't I have become the pitiful original wife? Since he's confessed, I have to respect his honesty."
Lin Yilan: “…” To sum up, this girl must be mentally ill.
However, this sudden breakup of the engagement was rather odd. How could it have come to this when the two of them had always gotten along so well? It was indeed hard to accept. Was Chu Xi plotting something behind the scenes? Or did Qin Chaotian see Chu Xi's value?
Mysteries kept interweaving in Lin Yilan's mind, but the thread kept getting bigger and bigger, and no one could solve the problem. Perhaps only they knew the truth!
"I'll accompany you wherever you want to go, but I'll drive the car." Lin Yilan got out of the passenger seat and switched seats with Chu Siran.
…
After Qin Chaotian finished the call, he notified Chu Xi first. He called Chu Xi and asked if Chu's parents were at home.
Chu Xi replied quietly, leaning against the phone: "Everyone is here. Do you want to come now?"
"Of course, Chu Siran has been notified. It would not be good if you didn't inform the other two. You wait for me at home. I will come to propose marriage soon." Qin Chaotian's gentle words rang in her ears. Chu Xi almost forgot that this gentle man was a real murderer!
