Chapter 77: Collapse of Trust
However, all of this was news that Chu Xi had ordered to be spread. She knew very well what was most important between lovers. Once the trust between them collapsed, it would be impossible for them to go back to the way they were before.
"I heard that Mr. Huo is planning to make that hostess his wife. You don't know, but when I saw Huo Juncheng's fiancée online, she's really not on the same level as that hostess!"
"Isn't Huo Juncheng's fiancée also from a prominent family? But why does she look like a country girl? On the other hand, that hostess looks like she's from a wealthy family."
"If I had known this would happen, I should have quit my job and come work for Tonight. Who knows, I might even have a chance to become Mrs. Huo."
......
Lin Yilan just went to the nurses' station to get some medicine and could hear the nurses discussing the gossip about her and Huo Juncheng.
She stopped and walked back to her room. She didn't want to hear any more news about Huo Juncheng.
There was a knock on the door. Lin Yilan looked up and saw that it was Grandma Huo!
"Grandma, why are you here?" Lin Yilan had just sat down on the bed when she quickly stood up and walked towards Grandma Huo.
Madam Huo smiled slightly and told Lin Yilan to go back and lie down quickly: "You little girl, if Jun Cheng hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known about it. Why didn't you tell grandma right away when you suffered such a big offense?"
Lin Yilan found it difficult to speak in response to Mrs. Huo's questioning.
They are no longer a family in the future, so why should she tell Grandma Huo about her own affairs and cause her more trouble?
"It's quite boring staying in the hospital, right? Why don't you find a few opera troupes to come over and entertain you?" Mrs. Huo looked at Lin Yilan and said with a smile.
Lin Yilan pursed her lips and shook her head.
"Grandma, you don't have to worry about me. You see, I can eat and drink well. It's a pity for you to come to the hospital to see me." Lin Yilan said and lowered her head silently. When she thought that she and Grandma Huo would no longer be a family in the future, her heart was filled with sadness.
"Granddaughter-in-law, grandma knows what you are thinking right now. Sometimes what you see may not be the truth, so don't believe those rumors on the Internet. You know, no matter what happens, our Huo family will only recognize you as our daughter-in-law. No matter what means others use, don't even think about entering the Huo family's door!" Old Madam Huo said seriously in a loud voice.
When Mrs. Huo saw that Lin Yilan still didn't react at all after what she said, her heart skipped a beat. She was afraid that her eldest grandson had really hurt Lin Yilan's heart this time.
"Grandma, do you want to eat some apples? These apples are very fresh and delicious. I'll help you wash the apples." Lin Yilan said as she stood up with the apples and walked towards the door.
She absentmindedly washed the apple and walked back. As soon as she entered the door, Lin Yilan saw Huo Juncheng coming over without knowing when.
Huo Juncheng sat upright on the sofa. When he saw Lin Yilan come in, he just glanced at her without saying a word.
His attitude was as if the person who was having an affair outside was Lin Yilan. Lin Yilan was very unhappy, but she still forced a smile and handed the apple in her hand to Mrs. Huo.
"Grandma, didn't you say you wanted to invite a theatre troupe? I'll recommend a few to you, but don't let them come to the hospital. It's nice for you to listen to some music at home when you have nothing to do." Lin Yilan said as she sat down on the sofa opposite Huo Juncheng.
"It's all fine. I just think you're too bored in the hospital, don't you? Granddaughter-in-law, do you have any nice songs to recommend to grandma?" Old Madam Huo seemed unaware of Lin Yilan's abnormality.
Lin Yilan gave Huo Juncheng a meaningful look and said casually, "Of course my favorite is the play with Xue Rengui and Wang Baochuan. Grandma should find someone to sing this song. Huo Juncheng should listen to it too. It's really well sung."
She clearly meant something, but Mrs. Huo still agreed directly: "Okay, it's almost noon now, what would your granddaughter-in-law like to eat for lunch?"
"Grandma, it's getting late, and this hospital is full of germs. You should go back and have a good rest. The hospital provides nutritious meals, so you don't have to worry about me here." Lin Yilan was obviously ordering her to leave.
From the moment Huo Juncheng entered the room and saw Lin Yilan, the two of them were silent. Old Madam Huo knew very well that the knot between the two would definitely not be untied in a short time.
Old Madam Huo stood up from the sofa, looked at Huo Juncheng and Lin Yilan, and said, "I won't delay your sweet love. I'll go back first. Juncheng, I'm handing my granddaughter-in-law over to you. If Yilan makes any mistakes again, I won't forgive you!"
After saying this, Mrs. Huo slowly walked out of Lin Yilan's ward.
Before leaving, Mrs. Huo glanced at Lin Yilan again, wanting to say something but stopping herself.
Even if there really was a problem between the two of them, it was all caused by Huo Juncheng, and she knew it very well.
Mrs. Huo had been gone for a while, and Lin Yilan was too lazy to pretend. She pointed to the door of the ward and said, "You can go back. Don't worry, I'm not the kind of person who likes to tell tales. I won't tell the old lady that you left."
"Yilan, do you have to do this?" Huo Juncheng stood up instantly and stood in place with his eyes fixed on Lin Yilan.
Being questioned by Huo Juncheng like this, Lin Yilan instantly seemed to explode with anger and pointed at Huo Juncheng and asked in response, "What do I want? Let's not talk about you and Lin Pinyan for now. Let's just talk about you and Chu Xi. You have to be responsible for Chu Xi, right? Just because you want me to help you heal your body, you have to marry me? Huo Juncheng, if you don't treat me sincerely, you don't have to! As long as you explain it clearly, I will still help you with your health!"
These words felt more like a humiliation to Huo Juncheng.
What kind of person is he? How could he marry Lin Yilan just to ask her to help him cure his chronic illness?
"You are too ridiculous. I have already resolved everything between Chu Xi and I! I have also told you very clearly. What exactly do you want me to do before you trust me?" Huo Juncheng's eyes were red, and he was a little disheartened.
Huo Juncheng originally thought that if he could let Lin Yilan calm down during this period of time, she would be able to think things through and figure it out.
Unexpectedly, Lin Yilan's attitude towards him became even worse than before.
"Mr. Huo, you'd better get out of here quickly. You're going to make me die of anger here. Given your current physical condition, you won't live long even if I die! So, for your own sake, you'd better leave quickly!" After saying this, Lin Yilan pushed Huo Juncheng towards the door.
Huo Juncheng stopped and turned to glance at Lin Yilan. He glared at Lin Yilan and said, "You were the one who wanted me to leave, Lin Yilan, don't regret it!"
Tears welled up in Lin Yilan's eyes. Only after Huo Juncheng left did she whisper, "Regret! The thing I regret most in my life is meeting you, Huo Juncheng! Is there anything I regret more than this?"
She held back her tears but forced herself to hold them back.
Who is she, Lin Yilan? She can't fall so easily.
