Chapter 96: Seeing injustice and speaking out
Chu Siran took a bottle of water from the car and handed it to Lin Yilan. They carefully avoided the media and walked out of the underground garage.
What they never expected was that just as the car drove onto the road and reached the first traffic light, Chu Siran's car was blocked at the intersection.
There was a Mercedes-Benz G parked across the road in front of him. Chu Siran got out of the car, cursing, "How are you driving? Do you have eyes? You don't even look at the traffic lights, do you?"
"Siran, why have you been avoiding me?" Zhang Aoran asked Chu Siran directly as soon as she saw him getting out of the car. Chu Siran never expected that it would be Zhang Aoran who bumped into her car.
Chu Siran opened the car door without a second thought. When she was about to get in, Zhang Aoran grabbed her arm and said, "Siran, you haven't told me yet what I did wrong. Tell me, I can change it, but can you please stop hiding from me?"
"I'm not hiding from you. I have something important to do right now and don't have time to chat with you here. I'll come to you for coffee when I'm free." After saying this, Chu Siran wanted to get in the car, but Zhang Aoran still held his arm tightly.
Lin Yilan in the car wanted to help but was unable to do so. Suddenly, Zhang Aoran leaned over and saw Lin Yilan sitting in the passenger seat.
Zhang Aoran immediately understood everything. He pointed at Lin Yilan and asked, "Ms. Lin, you are Mr. Huo's fiancée. I have never met you before, and I don't know how I offended you. Why did you and Siran lie to me that night at the charity dinner?"
At this critical moment, Chu Siran thought of something and used all her strength to push Zhang Aoran aside.
"It's because my name is Chu Siran and your name is Zhang Aoran. My mother asked someone to tell my fortune before, and the person said that it would be unlucky for me if my husband has the same name as mine." Chu Siran's train of thought is indeed unique.
Lin Yilan was shocked by her words.
Chu Siran and Zhang Aoran were openly arguing at the intersection. Lin Yilan didn't know whether to help them or not, but she couldn't leave if she didn't help.
There was a traffic jam behind their car, and the car horns kept honking, which made Lin Yilan feel upset.
A sudden brake sound startled Lin Yilan. Lin Yilan looked out the window and saw a flashy convertible Mustang parked on the left turn lane.
Lin Yilan didn't even need to think to know who was sitting in the car, Zheng Ronglan!
Zheng Ronglan pulled open the car door and slammed it hard. He strode to Chu Siran's side, protected Chu Siran behind him without hesitation, and punched Zhang Aoran in the face several times.
Zhang Aoran was stunned by Jung Yonghwa.
Chu Siran took the opportunity to point at Zheng Ronglan beside him and said, "He is my boyfriend. I didn't tell you before because I wanted to save your face. Look, you insisted on pulling me on the street. If my boyfriend gets angry and hits you, you deserve it!"
After saying this, Chu Siran didn't dare to stay and got into the car. Zheng Ronglan gave Zhang Aoran a fierce look and drove away with Lin Yilan and the others.
Only then did Lin Yilan realize that Chu Siran's arms were still shaking after she got in the car.
"Drink some water first to calm down. We're not in a hurry. Zheng Ronglan is coming here." Lin Yilan said as she handed her mineral water to Chu Siran.
Chu Siran waved her hand, calmed down, stepped on the accelerator and drove quickly towards Huo Juncheng's home.
What they never expected was that before Lin Yilan even arrived at the villa, Madam Zhang had already called Grandma Huo to question her.
"I wonder what kind of person this Chu Xi is. She never stops causing trouble whenever she shows up. Or is it that you, Juncheng, are having a romantic encounter recently?" Zheng Ronglan opened a bottle of dark beer in the refrigerator, drank it, and complained to Huo Juncheng.
Huo Juncheng is now very busy because Chu Xi has returned from the United States.
Peter Zhang went to Huo Juncheng to ask for accountability, but he couldn't just talk to Peter Zhang about Chu Xi being beaten.
"I'm talking to you, can't you pay attention to me? Isn't there a time difference between Peter Zhang and us? Doesn't he need to sleep?" Zheng Ronglan walked straight to Huo Juncheng and threw a bottle of beer in his hand to him.
Huo Juncheng remained silent for a long time before he spoke indifferently, "This matter is a bit tricky."
Is it because of Pete Zhang?
Lin Yilan pondered over and over again with her cell phone in her hand. When no one noticed her, she walked to the balcony of the study with her cell phone.
She sent a message to Pete Zhang.
"Mr. Pete, I heard the company has been having a lot of trouble lately. I originally wanted to share some quick tips with you, but I wonder if you have time."
After editing, Lin Yilan converted it into English and sent it to Peter Zhang.
Peter Zhang didn't reply to Lin Yilan for a long time. Just when Lin Yilan was about to give up, Peter Zhang sent a voice message.
"That Chu Xi has no professional ethics at all. How could Mr. Huo allow such a person to be sent on a public mission? Although I am very angry, Master, you can rest assured that it will not affect our cooperation. You can also reassure Mr. Huo. Mr. Huo, please send someone over to hand over the work at hand. After that, I will have a lot of free time."
Lin Yilan opened the voice message on her phone and listened to it for him in front of Huo Juncheng.
Huo Juncheng seemed to be thinking, "Then what is this quick secret recipe you mentioned?"
"I've already told him to do horse stance for two hours in the morning. I've also looked up some information. I'm not making this up or trying to trick him, so don't think too much about it." Lin Yilan was waving her cell phone happily around the house.
Huo Juncheng closed the laptop and rubbed his temples with one hand. This happened too suddenly, and one thing after another, catching him off guard.
Just when Huo Juncheng was feeling upset, Grandma Huo called and asked Lin Yilan to go back with him for lunch.
Zheng Ronglan also wants to take one along.
Zheng Ronglan pointed at himself and asked in surprise, "Are you sure grandma just said that I should go too?"
Huo Juncheng glanced at him and hummed.
The four people looked at each other. In fact, everyone knew why Grandma Huo suddenly made this call. It was probably because Zheng Ronglan beat Zhang Aoran up and it was related.
"I'll go too. Everyone has their own share of responsibility. Today, Zheng Ronglan stood up for me. That Zhang Aoran is like a dog-skin plaster. I was just thinking that Zheng Ronglan fought well!" After saying that, Chu Siran quickly stood up with his bag.
Seeing that no one was about to leave, she quickly said, "Let's go. Are the Huo family so stingy? How much rice can a weak woman like me eat in one meal?"
