Chapter 615 No Evidence
Mr. Zhang hated Huo Juncheng so much, but he had no evidence. He wanted to trick Huo Juncheng into confessing, but he didn't expect Huo Juncheng to not fall for it at all.
"Huo Juncheng, just wait and see what you have to say when the police find out about you." Mr. Zhang said angrily.
Huo Juncheng didn't take Mr. Zhang's threats seriously at all. He raised his eyebrows and said, "Mr. Zhang, I didn't do anything. Not to mention the police, even gods wouldn't be able to find evidence."
Mr. Zhang clenched his fists, snorted, and pushed the door open and left with unvented anger.
On the other side, Xi Lulu was already standing in front of Xu Ziwen and talking to him.
"Master, I came here this time to ask if our theater should still be open. There are so many actors in the theater waiting to eat."
The audience who went to the theater all went there for Xu Ziwen. Now that Xu Ziwen is never in the theater, there are fewer audiences.
Many actors in the theater are unwilling to work anymore after seeing their salaries reduced, and many capable actors are already thinking about going to other theaters.
Although Xi Lulu is Xu Ziwen's apprentice, she is young and a girl, and she can't control the situation in the theater, so she came to ask Xu Ziwen's opinion.
Xu Ziwen didn't want to talk about work at home. He frowned, straightened his clothes and stood up. "Let's talk about this outside. It's hard to explain it in just a few words."
If the theater closed, it would need to give the staff some time to find new jobs. Besides the staff, there were also concerns about the theater's venue, funding, and how to inform the old audience that the theater was closing. If it continued to operate, how the theater could continue to operate without Xu Ziwen's support was also a big problem.
If they discussed it at home, with so many people here, it would be difficult for Xu Ziwen and Xi Lulu to talk, so it would be better to go out and find a quiet place to talk slowly.
Having said that, Xu Ziwen was about to take Xi Lulu out.
But before the two of them even left the house, Grandma Huo walked up to Xi Lulu and grabbed her, "Miss Lulu, why are you leaving right after you arrived? You said it's a rare opportunity for you to come visit Grandma and Master, why don't you stay for a simple meal?"
"Grandma Huo, we have something important to discuss. Next time Lulu comes, let's sit down and have a good meal." Xu Ziwen tried to smooth things over.
Grandma Huo curled her lips and her face fell. "What do you mean by next time? I'm an old man, how many next times can I wait for?"
"Grandma Huo, what are you talking about?" Xi Lulu's face changed, and she took Grandma Huo's arm. "You are so young, you will definitely live to be a hundred years old."
Grandma Huo wanted to keep Xi Lulu at home for dinner, which was exactly what she wanted. If Huo Juncheng was there during the dinner, wouldn't she be able to see Huo Juncheng again?
Besides, Grandma Huo is the relative that Huo Juncheng respects the most. Even if Huo Juncheng is not at the dinner table, it is still a profit if he can appease Grandma Huo.
"Grandma Huo, there's no rush about eating. I need to discuss some serious matters with Lulu now. It's not easy to discuss with so many people at home." Xu Ziwen felt a little embarrassed.
"Okay, okay, it's fine if you want to go out. I'll go with you, okay?" Grandma Huo waved her hand, as if she had made a big concession.
In fact, Grandma Huo had just overheard the conversation between Xu Ziwen and Xi Lulu. She was worried that the theater would really close. After all, that was the theater where Xu Ziwen had worked for so many years, and she was also a regular customer of that theater.
Grandma Huo didn't want the theater to close. She had insisted on keeping Xi Lulu because she was worried that the theater would not be able to continue operating.
If the theater closed due to financial problems, Grandma Huo felt that she could help.
Xu Ziwen didn't want Grandma Huo to interfere in the theater's affairs, but he couldn't persuade her, so he had to change his words, "Okay, then let Lulu stay for lunch."
Xi Lulu looked happy.
The other women were a little unhappy when they heard that Xi Lulu was going to stay for lunch. They didn't want to eat at the same table with Green Tea.
At the dinner table, Xi Lulu wanted to sit next to Grandma Huo, but Chu Siran quickly pushed her aside.
"Xi Lulu, you are a guest and this is the seat for the host. Isn't it a bit impolite for you to sit here?" Vivian said with a smile as she sat aside.
"We're all good kids, so why distinguish between host and guest? If Lulu wants to sit here, let her. It's rare for me to see her."
"It's okay for others not to distinguish between host and guest, but Lulu is Master Xu's apprentice, she wouldn't be so ignorant of the rules." Lin Yilan had already sat next to Grandma Huo, with a smile on her face as she spoke.
This wave of open praise and hidden criticism made Xi Lulu extremely angry but there was nothing she could do.
"Xi Lulu, didn't you come here to talk about something? Why did you start eating before you talked about it?" Chu Siran disliked Xi Lulu and was a straightforward person. After sitting down, he said directly in a bad mood.
"Siran, you're so silly. Miss Xi might be hungry, so she wants to eat first." Vivian was very elegant even when eating, and there was no hostility in her tone of voice.
It was precisely because she teased Xi Lulu in such a polite tone that Xi Lulu had no place to vent her anger.
Chen Jie was eating beside him, but his big watery eyes were always fixed on Xi Lulu.
Xi Lulu was furious at being confronted by the three women, but she had to pretend to be harmonious in front of Grandma Huo, so she could only swallow the bitter pill.
"I'm full." Chen Jie left the table not long after the meal started.
Children don’t eat much, and Chen Jie is very well-behaved, so Lin Yilan asked Chen Jie to leave the table.
Xi Lulu didn't take the child seriously. After all, it wasn't Lin Yilan's child for Huo Juncheng. She didn't even notice the look Chen Jie gave her just now.
"Grandma Huo, please have this." Xi Lulu was busy trying to curry favor with Grandma Huo. Although she didn't sit next to her, she still diligently put food on her plate.
"Xi Lulu, why don't you use serving chopsticks when picking up food? Do you want Grandma Huo to eat your saliva? Besides, do you know what Grandma Huo likes to eat? Do you want you to pick up the food for Grandma Huo when the Huo family's chef cooks it?" Chu Siran had sharp eyes and started to speak to Xi Lulu.
"I didn't..." Xi Lulu was at a loss.
When Vivian saw Xi Lulu's embarrassed look, she just smiled and said nothing.
"We're all family, there's no need to be so particular." Grandma Huo waved her hand and spoke for Xi Lulu.
With Grandma Huo present, Xi Lulu didn't dare to lose her temper, and Chu Siran couldn't say anything more to Xi Lulu. Lin Yilan gave Chu Siran a look, and Chu Siran also restrained himself and didn't continue to make things difficult for Xi Lulu.
Xi Lulu had just taken two bites of her meal when she noticed something moving in her trouser pocket, tickling her thigh through the fabric of her clothes.
But she was still at the dinner table, so she could only secretly put one hand into her pocket.
"ah!"
Everyone was still eating, but Xi Lulu suddenly dropped her bowl and jumped up from her seat screaming.
