Chapter 89: Full Support
"It's my fault. I didn't keep an eye on Yilan when I took her out to dinner, and she broke a piece of art in the club." Huo Juncheng took all the responsibility on himself, which made Lin Yilan standing next to him feel quite embarrassed.
Lin Yilan took Grandma Huo's hand and said, "Grandma, you can't blame Huo Juncheng for this. It was me who was trying to scare Lin Pinyan with the jar, so it broke. This has nothing to do with him. If you're angry, punish me, just me. This has nothing to do with Huo Juncheng."
Both of them wanted to take all the responsibility on themselves, which shocked Mrs. Huo.
Mrs. Huo shook her head helplessly. "It would be great if you two could always be so good to each other. Don't get angry all the time. If you two keep arguing and getting angry, even the best relationship will gradually fade."
Grandma Huo's words made Lin Yilan blush and speechless. Wasn't it she who had wrongly accused Huo Juncheng of being a scumbag without any evidence before?
Now that such a big thing has happened, she never expected that Huo Juncheng would be willing to help her without any hesitation.
"Not anymore in the future. Grandma and Madam Zhang should call and ask for an invitation." Huo Juncheng supported Grandma Huo's arm and walked towards the phone in the living room.
The phone call between Mrs. Huo and Mrs. Zhang was very brief. They exchanged a few pleasantries first. Mrs. Zhang was delighted to hear that the Huo family was also going to attend the charity dinner.
"There's no need for an invitation. Just let Juncheng take you there at 8 o'clock the day after tomorrow evening. With my old face here, the Zhang family won't kick you out no matter what." Old Madam Huo said with a faint smile, squinting her eyes, and then she stood up and walked towards the warehouse.
Old Madam Huo took out a hand-held piece of sea-salvaged glass from the warehouse. Given the status and position of the Huo family, it would be a bit unreasonable if they didn't take anything with them.
However, no matter what the final price of this sea-salvaged glass is, the money will not go into the Huo family's account, but will be directly donated by Mrs. Zhang to the impoverished mountainous areas.
After knowing this, Lin Yilan held the wenge box in her hand as if it were a hot potato.
Lin Yilan looked at Huo Juncheng beside her tentatively and asked, "How much is this thing worth?"
"It will only be more expensive than that green-glazed porcelain, and it will never be cheaper." Huo Juncheng said calmly after glancing at the item in Lin Yilan's hand.
In other words, they not only have to spend money to buy the jar back, but also have to pay for a more expensive sea-salvaged glass handle.
Lin Yilan held the item tightly in her arms, refusing to let it be auctioned off no matter what. "Grandma, can't you choose a cheaper one? This one is so expensive, I, I really can't bear to part with it!"
"Okay, these are all sent to the mountains to buy things for the children. Money is only material possessions, let alone a hand-held item. It will be worth a lot of money if there is a market for it. If there is no market, it is just a piece of broken glass." Old Madam Huo persuaded Lin Yilan and asked someone to bring a bunch of desserts to Lin Yilan.
"They say eating some sweets can make you feel better. You haven't looked very good these past few days. I think it must be because you've been so busy with this matter. As long as grandma is here, you don't have to worry about anything. As long as I'm still breathing, I will definitely protect you."
After Mrs. Huo's persuasion, Lin Yilan was a little happier, but she was still thinking about the charity dinner in her heart.
After leaving the Huo family, on their way back to the villa, Lin Yilan suddenly thought of something. She turned around and glanced at Huo Juncheng: "Chu Xi, she and Peter Zhang have already gone to the United States together, right?"
Huo Juncheng nodded silently. "I have already deposited the final project dividend into her account in advance. Chu Xi is a smart woman, so don't worry too much."
"Have you ever thought that Chu Xi's feelings for you are not simple? It's not just admiration." Lin Yilan looked at Huo Juncheng and asked.
"So what if it is, so what if it isn't? Those are her business and have nothing to do with me." Huo Juncheng answered decisively.
Lin Yilan looked out the window, feeling mixed emotions.
Until the day of the charity dinner, Lin Yilan got up early in the morning and began to dress herself up frantically.
She was willing to attend this dinner event today. Since she was willing to do so, she must be happy to dress herself up.
It’s just that Sister Xiu prepared a large table of delicious food, and Lin Yilan was busy putting on a facial mask and choosing clothes for herself, so she had no time to take care of anything else.
"I've arranged a stylist for you. Just go and have your meal." Huo Juncheng held Lin Yilan's shoulders and forcibly led her out of the cloakroom.
Lin Yilan sat at the dining table with no appetite at all. She looked at Huo Juncheng and said, "Is there anything I need to remember? For example, Madam Zhang's preferences, and some basic etiquette knowledge. We still have an afternoon, why don't you send me to learn etiquette now? I'm worried about what would happen if I lost face for you."
Lin Yilan was worried, mostly because she was too nervous.
Huo Juncheng sighed and shook his head. He picked up a piece of hairtail for Lin Yilan and said, "Let's eat. Sister Xiu made all your favorite dishes. The stylist will be here soon after dinner."
Just as Huo Juncheng said, not long after the meal, a group of stylists arrived at the villa in a mighty procession.
It was the same team that Huo Juncheng sent last time, a group of young and energetic girls.
"I think it would be best if Madam dressed elegantly for the charity dinner tonight."
"Nonsense, the lady's personality is not like that. The styling should be designed according to her personality. Are you professionals or not?"
Originally, Lin Yilan was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, but after hearing the chattering of these girls, Lin Yilan's mood changed and she was not as nervous as before.
"No matter what style you choose, can you please hurry up and don't let me be late?" Lin Yilan looked back at them.
After a few hours, Lin Yilan walked out of the dressing room.
She wore a velvet French gown and a gray pearl necklace that perfectly accentuated her slender swan neck.
Her long hair fell on her shoulders, making her look formal but not old-fashioned.
She really looked like a lady. Lin Yilan glanced at the gold filigree bracelet on her wrist.
"Let's go." Huo Juncheng had also changed his clothes and was standing outside the door in a suit and tie waiting for Lin Yilan.
Lin Yilan put her hand on Huo Juncheng's arm and they got into the car together.
