Chapter 616: Show Me the Colors
"Xi Lulu, if you don't eat, others will! Why are you making such a fuss?" Chu Siran immediately got angry and spoke first.
Xu Ziwen's face was not in good spirits either. After all, she was his apprentice, and he would be ashamed if she didn't follow etiquette. "Lulu, how can you be so rude!"
"No, there's something in my pocket." Xi Lulu's facial features were slightly distorted, and she looked scared.
"No matter what's in your pocket, don't act mysterious and disgust me here." Chu Siran snorted. She didn't believe that Xi Lulu had really encountered any trouble. This was obviously another trick she used to attract other people's attention.
"Lulu, what's wrong with you?" Lin Yilan asked kindly when she saw that Xi Lulu looked really ugly.
"I don't know what it is, but it moves." Xi Lulu was so scared that she was about to cry. "I just touched it and it was still slippery."
Grandma Huo was nervous and quickly ordered, "Quickly get Lulu some pants to change into, and have someone check what's in her pocket."
After a while, Xi Lulu came out wearing new pants. The servant checked her pants and found several earthworms in her trouser pockets.
Lin Yilan knew that Huo Juncheng was the only one in the family who had earthworms. He raised some earthworms as bait for fishing. However, Huo Juncheng was not at home, so it was impossible that he had put the earthworms in Xi Lulu's pocket.
Even if Huo Juncheng was at home, Lin Yilan believed that Huo Juncheng had no interest in doing such a childish trick.
Everyone was eating at the table just now, so no one would have the opportunity to quietly put earthworms in Xi Lulu's pants pocket. The only one who had the opportunity and the motivation was...
Lin Yilan turned her head and found Chen Jie playing in the corner. She discovered that he was laughing at the frightened Xi Lulu.
Seeing Chen Jie's smile, Lin Yilan understood who did it.
But she didn't like Xi Lulu, and Chen Jie was just a child, so she wouldn't pick Chen Jie out to teach him a lesson at this time.
When Chu Siran saw Xi Lulu's panic-stricken look, he felt very happy and excited.
After Xi Lulu finished processing the earthworms, everyone stopped eating. Xi Lulu and Xu Ziwen continued to discuss the theater's business, while the other women gathered together to continue chatting.
Chu Siran patted Lin Yilan's shoulder and said with a smile.
"Lin Yilan, you're really something! How did you come up with this stupid idea? Look at Xi Lulu's expression. She looks like she's been through a lot of hardship. It makes me feel good just watching her. Hahahaha."
"Lin Yilan is not such a petty person, and she would not play such a trick to scare people." Vivian is a smart person. Although she doesn't know who did it, she is sure that Lin Yilan would not do such a thing.
"Not you?" Chu Siran looked at Lin Yilan in confusion.
Lin Yilan smiled helplessly, "Do I need to use such a boring trick to deal with a green tea girl? If I really did it and I was discovered, Grandma Huo would just think I was a petty woman. What good would that do me?" Lin Yilan patiently explained to Chu Siran.
"If it's not you, then who else could it be?" Chu Siran's mind didn't wrap around for a moment.
Lin Yilan looked at Chen Jie, "Chen Jie, come here."
"What's wrong?" Chen Jie walked over and looked at Lin Yilan with his big, harmless eyes blinking.
"Tell me, was it you who put the earthworm in Xi Lulu's pocket just now?" Lin Yilan stared into Chen Jie's eyes and asked seriously.
Chen Jie snapped his fingers and nodded randomly.
"When did you release it?"
"I played it when you were having dinner and Sister Siran and Xi Lulu were talking. You were all talking at the time and no one noticed me." Chen Jie did not hide anything he had done and spoke honestly.
"So I've become half an accomplice." Chu Siran smiled and teased.
"Tell me, why did you do this? Why did you scare Xi Lulu?" Lin Yilan's face was serious. Maybe it was because Chen Jie was usually too sensible and occasionally showed his childish side, which Lin Yilan was a little uncomfortable with.
Chen Jie's eyes flickered for a moment and then he raised them again.
"My manager tells me the order number and I understand it by the order number."
"I don't like Xi Lulu, and Yilan, you don't like Xi Lulu either, so I will help you teach that bad woman a lesson and let her know how powerful I am!" Chen Jie said bluntly.
"You're not going to take pictures and get caught?" Chu Siran's attention shifted. "What if Xi Lulu isn't afraid of earthworms? Then all your efforts will be in vain, right?"
"Chu Siran, your focus is really weird." Vivian held her forehead.
"Chen Jie, why don't you like Xi Lulu?" Lin Yilan asked Chen Jie.
She always thought that Chen Jie was very sensible, so even if Chen Jie was a little naughty sometimes, she would not blame Chen Jie too much. However, since she adopted this child, she had to educate this child well.
Chen Jie shook his head, speechless.
Chu Siran snorted, "Children are smarter. They can sense when someone is annoying."
Chu Siran interpreted Chen Jie's dislike for Xi Lulu as simply Xi Lulu being unhappy. She didn't have that deep of a mind and wouldn't think about it too carefully. Weiweian was different. Chen Jie couldn't explain it, and she felt even more that there was something fishy about this kid.
Moreover, Chen Jie had once shown her such a mature smile, but now he behaved so well-behaved and ignorant in front of Lin Yilan, which was very abnormal.
It's normal for a child to have that kind of bewildered expression. But to Vivian, Chen Jie's expression looked like a disguise. Vivian thought it might be because she filmed so many scenes that she could detect a person's expressions so deeply.
After all, he is just a child and shouldn't do anything outrageous.
Vivian stood aside and said nothing.
"Chen Jie, do you know you're wrong?" Lin Yilan's face was a little solemn. "Even if you hate someone, as long as she hasn't hurt you, you can't hurt her. Do you understand?"
Chen Jie blinked his eyes, "But Yilan, you don't like Xi Lulu either."
"So you are helping me out in this way?" Lin Yilan felt a little blocked in her heart. Chen Jie, such a young child, is on her side, which means that the child is close to her, which is of course a good thing.
But we can't let him learn bad things like this.
Chen Jie nodded without saying anything.
"Adults will handle their own affairs. They don't need your help. Promise me that you won't do this kind of prank again!" Lin Yilan educated Chen Jie seriously.
"But..." Chen Jie pursed his lips, looking very unhappy, "I thought you would praise me for helping you teach Xi Lulu a lesson..."
Lin Yilan's heart softened. Chen Jie has always been a good boy. She must be very sad to educate him so seriously.
"I know you want to help me, but this is a prank only bad kids would do. Let's forget about it this time. But don't do it again in the future, okay?" Lin Yilan's tone softened a lot.
Chu Siran on the side curled her lips. She didn't think Chen Jie did anything wrong. There was no need to show any etiquette when dealing with a guy like Xi Lulu. What's more, Chen Jie was just a little naughty.
