Chapter 426: Do you have the nerve to go back?
Long Cheng also appeared in the dark because of a text message from Lin Yilan. He sat opposite Lin Yilan somewhat awkwardly, and straightened his body somewhat stiffly.
"What do you want to eat? It's not quite right. It's hard to follow me like this every day."
"It's not hard. This is Long Cheng's responsibility."
Lin Yilan was actually quite grateful to Long Cheng. If Long Cheng hadn't been there when she left Qin Chaotian's house last time, she really didn't know what to do.
Apart from being a little talkative and reporting everything to Huo Juncheng, everything else is fine.
Lin Yilan asked for a bottle of white wine and poured it for Long Cheng: "Let's drink together?"
Long Cheng definitely wouldn't dare drink with Lin Yilan. He also had to protect her! If something happened on the way, he wouldn't be able to explain it to Huo Juncheng. He politely declined Lin Yilan: "No, no one will be driving for a while, I'll just eat some crayfish."
"Okay, then, you eat, I drink, and you pay the bill later. Hehe."
Long Cheng: "...This is really a great way to save money."
"There's nothing I can do." Lin Yilan was very melancholy. "I'm the boss of several companies now. I have to give a lot of company money to my employees every month. If I don't save some money, what will happen to my waiters?"
"Madam, you're really good at it."
"There's nothing I can do. I'm tired of being poor." She had offended Huo Juncheng now, and it was not good for her to always ask him for money. She had to keep some for herself.
Long Cheng noticed that Lin Yilan was a little different today. He wanted to ask her what was wrong, but he didn't dare to get too close to her.
He stuffed his doubts into his heart and just lowered his head to eat in silence.
Lin Yilan took two photos and posted them on her Moments, along with a selfie: "Be in a good mood every day, YE!"
Chu Siran is an internet addict and a gossip freak! Seeing Lin Yilan's dynamic, she immediately gave her a like: "Baby, where are you now? Going to the night market alone? Why am I so unconvinced? Hurry up and show me the photo of the guy across the street."
Lin Yilan quickly replied: "Do you want to come out and drink together?"
"Okay, give me the address and I'll be there right away."
Chu Siran rushed to the snack stand where Lin Yilan was in almost half an hour. She looked at the table full of crayfish shells, then glanced at Long Cheng beside her, and felt that something was wrong.
Huo Juncheng, the wife-doting maniac, is not here?
Could he allow another man to get close to Lin Yilan? It seemed so unrealistic.
Chu Siran rubbed her eyes, then forced a smile as she sat down next to Lin Yilan. She had long since recovered from Qin Chaotian's betrayal, and she didn't mention Qin Chaotian to Lin Yilan again.
Seeing that Chu Siran was in good condition, Lin Yilan was happy for her. She filled a glass of wine for Chu Siran and placed it next to her: "You seem to be quite free recently, why don't you go and look after the branch during this time."
"What? You came to me for this matter!" Chu Siran really wanted to run away, but it was too late.
Lin Yilan analyzed the current situation with Chu Siran: "I might be very busy recently. Not only the branch, but you have to take care of this store too! Run back and forth."
"You posted on your Moments late at night to lure me here, this is the reason, right?" Chu Siran had seen through everything!
"It's not about this. Long Cheng and I don't have any money, so I asked you to pay the bill."
Chu Siran, Long Cheng: "..."
Lin Yilan took another sip of wine, then stood up and left, still talking to Long Cheng: "Don't follow me!" Long Cheng had no choice but to let Lin Yilan disappear from his sight first. He simulated the route she took and followed her.
Chu Siran felt that Lin Yilan had been a little different recently, and she spoke very little to her. She thought it was because she had been healing and neglecting Lin Yilan, and she immediately fell into self-blame.
…
Qin Chaotian returned to Haicheng with his assistant and received an anonymous text message from someone saying that Chu Xi was recently with Song Siyu. The text message also gave Qin Chaotian Chu Xi's address.
Qin Chaotian sent a message to Chu Xi, giving her one day to return to the Qin family.
Chu Xi looked at the text message and thought about everything that happened in the small town, feeling more and more frightened.
She was really afraid of Qin Chaotian... It was enough for her to go from liking him to being afraid of him!
"Didn't I make it very clear to you before I left? We should not continue this relationship! I will find someone to draft our divorce agreement." Chu Xi replied and turned off the phone.
Song Siyu came up to bring food to Chu Xi. Seeing that she looked unhappy, she asked, "Did Qin Chaotian look for you?"
Chu Xi looked at Song Siyu in surprise: "How did you know?"
"Yes, it was Smith who did it." She told Chu Xi directly without hiding anything.
"Smith? Why would he do that?"
"Because it can win Qin Chaotian's favor." Song Siyu took a deep breath and sat beside her with a cold expression: "Chu Xi, you don't have to think too much! This actually has nothing to do with you. You don't need to put so much pressure on yourself."
"Don't you feel stressed?" Chu Xi really felt that Song Siyu was talking without any pain in her waist! None of this had anything to do with her. She didn't know about Qin Chaotian's "strange disease". She could indeed speak from an outsider's perspective, but now... everything was different.
Chu Xi didn't want to continue hanging out with Song Siyu. Her strong sixth sense told her that if she continued hanging out with Song Siyu, she might not even know how she died.
"Song Siyu, I'm going back." Chu Xi stood up, packed her clothes, turned around and was about to leave the apartment. Song Siyu wanted to stop her, but just as she raised her arm in the air, she put it down in an instant.
Song Siyu's smile was superficial. She said, "Okay, I'll take you there. It's hard to get a taxi this late."
"Thanks."
Song Siyu drove Chu Xi out of the apartment complex and soon drove into the main street of Haicheng. Chu Xi was at her wit's end. She wanted to escape but didn't know who could help her... At this moment, a figure emerged in her mind - Chu Siran.
There was no need to think about Chu's parents. After what happened at the wedding, they were undoubtedly disappointed in her.
But Chu Siran is different...she will at least give herself another chance.
Chu Xi cleverly sent her real-time walking direction to Chu Siran and typed a line of words: [Sister, can you help me? I can't get away right now, I really need your help.]
Chu Siran was drunk, and he glanced at his phone and called Chu Xi without thinking much.
Chu Xi picked up the phone and pretended to know she was wrong, apologizing repeatedly to Chu Siran. Chu Siran felt that something was wrong and stopped her: "Chu Xi, you called me in the middle of the night just to apologize? Where are you now? Just tell me directly, don't give me any empty words."
"Sister... I don't mean anything else. I really need you. Please take me home, okay?" Chu Xi didn't dare to say it clearly, so he could only hang up her phone and then type to her.
"Home? Do you think you'd be able to go back home after doing so many disgusting things?"
