Chapter 143: A Visit
Lin Yilan thought that she would avoid trouble after teaching Li Xiang a lesson outside the restaurant this time, but she didn't expect that the Li family would send someone to visit her the next day.
Looking at the sudden appearance of Mrs. Li, Lin Yilan felt that her current situation was not optimistic.
"Mrs. Huo, I'm here today for nothing particularly important. I just want to ask your young mistress why she's being so mean to my eldest son."
As Mrs. Li spoke, she deliberately glanced deeply at Lin Yilan who was beside Grandma Huo. Lin Yilan noticed Mrs. Li's unfriendly look and curled her lips helplessly.
Ask her why she has to feel bad for her son? Haha, why doesn't she ask her son what good things he has done? Would she beat someone up for no reason? Who does she think of Lin Yilan?
Ever since Grandma Huo heard that Madam Li was visiting, she knew that it was definitely not a good thing. However, when she heard Madam Li say that Lin Yilan beat Li Xiang, Grandma Huo was still surprised. She glanced at Lin Yilan beside her, but did not say anything.
Seeing that neither Grandma Huo nor Lin Yilan said anything, Madam Li assumed that the Huo family felt guilty, so she began to talk to herself again: "My son has been covered in wounds since he met with Miss Chu last time. I asked him at the time, but he didn't explain clearly. I was curious at the time, our Li family..."
Madam Li said, her eyes never leaving Lin Yilan. "Our Li family just came here to expand our business, and we don't have any enemies at all. Why was my son beaten? Was it Madam Huo who caused all that trouble?"
"Um."
Lin Yilan nodded obediently without saying anything more. She was puzzled. It was clearly the Li family who was in the wrong, so why were they here to accuse her?
"It's good that Madam Huo has admitted it. Now let me ask you, has my son offended you in any way? Why are you so upset with my son that beating him once isn't enough, and you're beating him again?"
"Well, he certainly didn't offend me..."
Before Lin Yilan could finish her words, Madam Li interrupted her, "Since my son has never offended you, why did you hit him? Although our Li family may not be as wealthy as the Huo family, we are not pushovers, and we are not for you to bully whenever you want!"
Seeing that Madam Li was getting more and more excited, Grandma Huo stopped her and said, "Madam Li, why are you so excited? Why don't you let Yilan explain herself clearly?"
As Grandma Huo spoke, she looked at Lin Yilan who was standing aside. She believed that Lin Yilan would never hit anyone for no reason, let alone the eldest young master of the Li family.
When Lin Yilan saw Grandma Huo looking at her, she swallowed nervously. It was obvious that the Li family was in the wrong, but Mrs. Li was too good at talking, and Lin Yilan inexplicably felt guilty about it.
Lin Yilan took a sip of the water on the table, took a deep breath, and then slowly said, "Mrs. Li, why don't you ask your son what he did? You come to the Huo family to find me without asking anything. Don't you think that what you did is a bit inappropriate?"
Lin Yilan did not directly mention the dirty deeds that Li Xiang had done. She was also trying to save face for the Li family. However, this Madam Li did not seem to appreciate it. She only heard her chattering again:
"Mrs. Huo just said that my son Li Xiang didn't do anything to offend you. So even if he did, there's no need for you to beat him up, right? I know my son likes to play, but..."
"Yes, he didn't offend me, but he offended my friend!" Lin Yilan looked at Mrs. Li's aggressive look and couldn't bear it anymore, so she started to retort Mrs. Li directly.
"Since you know your son is playful, you should have kept him under control. If he came for a blind date with the second daughter of the Chu family, then he should have gone on a good blind date. But putting drugs in someone else's drink, shouldn't that be punished?"
Madam Li had not expected Lin Yilan to say this, and she felt a little embarrassed. "Even so, this is a matter between the Chu and Li families. What does it have to do with your Huo family and you, Lin Yilan?"
this……
Lin Yilan didn't expect that Madam Li would be so unreasonable. According to Madam Li's logic, if her friend was bullied by others, should she just stand aside? She really had the urge to go up and punch Madam Li!
"Alright, this matter is our Huo family's fault. I apologize to you on behalf of my granddaughter-in-law. However, it's time for you, the Li family's son, to take care of him. Butler, please send him away."
Grandma Huo grabbed Lin Yilan, who was about to get angry, and said these words calmly. Mrs. Li saw that there was no need for her to stay any longer, so she left the Huo family with her small bag.
Seeing Madam Li walking away, Lin Yilan complained to Grandma Huo with some dissatisfaction, "Grandma, it's clearly that Li Xiang who is dirty and vulgar. I did nothing wrong. Why are you apologizing to her?"
"After Madam Li learned the reason for this incident, she knew she was in the wrong. However, this was not a glorious matter, and Madam Li must have felt embarrassed. Grandma did this just to give Madam Li a way out."
Lin Yilan finally understood when she heard Grandma Huo say this.
However, she had just witnessed how powerful Mrs. Li was in making unreasonable arguments, and she was really speechless.
"Look, it's a good thing that Grandma and Juncheng have assigned you bodyguards. If you encounter something like this, you can let the bodyguards take action. Otherwise, wouldn't that Miss Chu be in danger at that time?"
Lin Yilan laughed awkwardly. Whether it was the first time she beat up Li Xiang and was called to the police station, or the second time she beat up Li Xiang and was visited by Mrs. Li...
If she hadn't had so many bodyguards around her, it seemed like this wouldn't have happened. But how could she tell Grandma Huo that she didn't want these bodyguards?
Grandma Huo obviously noticed that Lin Yilan was frowning and looked helpless. She asked with some concern, "What's wrong, Yilan? Are you feeling unwell or worried?"
Hearing Grandma Huo's question, Lin Yilan shook her head awkwardly. Grandma Huo pressed on, "Are you still worried about what happened just now? Don't worry, I'll have Juncheng take care of the Li family's business in the future. You actually dared to bully my granddaughter-in-law. You're really too bold."
"No, grandma, actually I am..."
"What is it?"
"That's right...that's right...can you please stop having these bodyguards follow me?" Lin Yilan saw Grandma Huo looking at her in surprise and quickly added, "It's mainly because there are too many people. It's too inconvenient for me to move around with so many people following me..."
"Well, I see. Then you can choose a few people to follow you. Grandma was inconsiderate. Having over fifty bodyguards following you is indeed a bit too much."
When Lin Yilan heard Grandma Huo say this, her eyes lit up instantly. Although she couldn't completely get rid of the bodyguards, she was already very satisfied to have fewer bodyguards.
