Chapter 82 The Illusion of Happiness
Lin Yilan glanced at Huo Juncheng fiercely, "When did I become a pillar of support in his family?"
"Really, sister-in-law? You hit me last time, but do you know how much I suffered in the hospital? Why haven't you calmed down yet? People say that a prime minister has a big heart!" Zheng Ronglan looked at Lin Yilan pitifully.
Lin Yilan wanted to say something, but when she saw Zheng Ronglan, she thought of the last time she beat him up without any reason.
She still felt somewhat guilty.
The atmosphere was very harmonious, at least before Chu Xi appeared.
Even Lin Yilan had forgotten what Chu Xi and Shen Shenyan had said to her.
Chu Xi wore a long white sequined dress, her vibrant red hair cascading down to her waist. Her face, thickly made up, revealed a charming and alluring look. Her beauty was captivating, and her every frown and smile seemed to capture a man's heart.
Just as Lin Yilan was lost in thought, Peter Zhang suddenly walked towards Chu Xi and put his arm around her waist: "You look so beautiful today."
"Stop it, so many people are watching us." Chu Xi whispered softly in Peter Zhang's ear.
The two of them walked straight towards Lin Yilan, talking and laughing.
Lin Yilan was a little surprised. She was the one who said she liked Huo Juncheng a few days ago, and now she was the one snuggling in another man's arms!
"This time your company and I are going back to the United States to review the situation, so let Miss Chu Xi accompany us." Peter Zhang said to Huo Juncheng, while looking at Chu Xi in his arms meaningfully.
Huo Juncheng's expression suddenly changed, but before he could speak.
Chu Xi was the first to speak. She raised her glass and clinked it with Peter Zhang. "Boss Huo will definitely send me over. Mr. Peter, you have to treat our summary team well, otherwise Boss Huo will feel bad for us employees."
"Of course!" Peter Zhang responded decisively.
Now Lin Yilan was left standing there, unable to say a word. Without anyone noticing, she walked towards the hotel garden with difficulty.
The high heels don't fit my feet well and have rubbed the heels.
So Lin Yilan felt a lot of pain when she walked, but even so she held on.
However, she didn't know why, but she always felt that the relationship between Huo Juncheng and Chu Xi was very strange and subtle.
"Sister-in-law!" Suddenly, Zheng Ronglan's voice came from behind her.
Lin Yilan glanced back and saw Zheng Ronglan jogging towards her.
"Juncheng still has to deal with Peter Zhang and his gang of foreigners, so he asked me to come and see you." Zheng Ronglan said while panting.
Lin Yilan shrugged her shoulders as if nothing had happened, "Look at what I'm doing."
"Actually, there's nothing wrong between Chu Xi and Jun Cheng. Chu Xi went to Peter Zhang's hotel last night in order to secure the contract. At most, it can be considered that Jun Cheng owed her a favor."
Zheng Ronglan's description was so calm and casual, it was as simple as telling a joke.
But at this moment, there was a buzzing sound in Lin Yilan's mind!
Chu Xi took the initiative to go to the person in charge of Party A and offer herself to Huo Juncheng so that he could get a project. That was more than just a favor! No wonder Huo Juncheng looked so strange when Peter Zhang asked Chu Xi to go back to the United States with him!
This is something that Huo Juncheng cannot make up for no amount of money!
"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, what's wrong with you?" Zheng Ronglan shouted in panic when he saw Lin Yilan's uneasy look.
Lin Yilan sneered: "Is it just a favor? I'm afraid that because of this favor, Huo Juncheng will be entangled with this woman for the rest of his life."
"What are you talking about? Chu Xi is just a prostitute in the nightclub. Jun Cheng's fiancée, and the future Mrs. Huo, can only be you. Don't think too much."
"Am I thinking too much?" Lin Yilan looked at Zheng Ronglan with some anger and asked back.
At this moment, Huo Juncheng's voice rang out from behind her: "She volunteered, and I also gave her a profit quota for this project. This is an exchange of interests, there is no other relationship."
Lin Yilan looked back at Huo Juncheng in surprise. She couldn't believe that these words came out of Huo Juncheng's mouth.
"Can money measure everything? You talk about money with people, and they talk about feelings with you. What should you do? Today you think that Chu Xi's innocence can be exchanged for your business, and you give her money. This is an exchange of interests. Next time, what will you exchange for the benefits? What is your bottom line?" Lin Yilan looked at Huo Juncheng with red eyes, questioning word by word.
Huo Juncheng was furious. It was such a simple matter, why did Lin Yilan think so complicatedly?
"If you have anything to say, come home and talk to me first. There are so many guests outside. Where are you going to save our reputation?" Huo Juncheng suppressed his anger and said to Lin Yilan.
Lin Yilan reluctantly followed Huo Juncheng back to the banquet hall.
What Lin Yilan never expected was that one day, she would hide her emotions deep in her heart and pretend to be nothing and socialize with these people falsely.
The wives of the company's top executives, as well as business celebrities and socialites from all walks of life, surround her.
After drinking one glass of wine after another, Lin Yilan felt a little drunk, not knowing whether it was the effect of the alcohol or her inner drive.
Lin Yilan planned to go to the bathroom to wash up and clear her head.
She stopped a passing waiter and asked, "Hello, how do I get to the restroom?"
"Just turn left in front and walk to the end and you'll be there." After saying that, the waiter hurried away from Lin Yilan.
Lin Yilan walked slowly inside, holding onto the wall. She didn't know when her heels started bleeding.
Lin Yilan bent down to unbuckle her shoes, then took them off and held them in her hands.
Suddenly, she heard a rustling sound and someone whispering.
"Jincheng..."
Huo Juncheng?
She kicked open the door of the box in front of her. Inside, Huo Juncheng was standing there, and Chu Xi was hugging him tightly.
"Madam, no, this is not what you think!" Chu Xi saw Lin Yilan breaking in and immediately knelt on the ground.
Lin Yilan was so angry that she couldn't listen to Chu Xi's explanation.
She was the one who said she liked Huo Juncheng, and she was also the one hugging Huo Juncheng now. Since she was determined to be a mistress, you can't blame her, Lin Yilan, for wanting revenge!
Lin Yilan just raised her hand when Huo Juncheng stopped her, "Enough!"
"Enough? This is what you call an exchange of interests, right? Huo Juncheng, are you disgusting? As a dignified CEO, how can you do such a dirty thing?" Lin Yilan held back the tears in her eyes and pointed at Chu Xi in front of her and questioned.
