Chapter 88: Chapter 65: Watching the Play

“Jingzhou, look, the two of them standing together, how well-matched they are.” Liu Yan said, her face brimming with sincerity, “I really owe you an apology.”

La Jingzhou glanced at her.

Liu Yan became even more earnest, “I was too embarrassed to mention it to you, but honestly, I’ve always been bothered by those rumors out there. You wouldn’t believe how ugly the talk is. They say Bai Shilan is a canary kept by you, that you’ve used the company’s resources to promote her. Otherwise, with her acting skills and qualifications, there’s no way she could have had access to so many good opportunities.”

“They also say that you’re engaged to me because you want to scheme after the Liu Family’s fortune. Once you get your hands on the property, who knows what my fate will be.”

Liu Yan’s words drifted lightly, causing La Jingzhou’s expression to change slightly. For the moment, he was too preoccupied to pay attention to Bai Shilan, and he hurriedly said, “Xiaoyan, you know that’s all nonsense. How could you not know how I feel about you?”

Liu Yan let out a sigh, “Sometimes, I really wonder if you truly like me at all. After all, you’re always so aloof towards me.”

La Jingzhou’s expression grew taut as he said quickly, “That’s not true. It’s just my nature, and you know it.”

Liu Yan offered him a sweet smile, “That’s why I’m apologizing! I used to not understand you and almost misunderstood you. But today, I realized that Miss Bai’s affections are not for you at all, but for Ye Lin. So all those previous rumors involving you two must be false. There’s really nothing between you and Bai Shilan.”

La Jingzhou:

He didn’t know whether to be relieved or angry.

Liu Yan’s diversion caused him to look back at the scene, where Bai Shilan and Ye Lin had suddenly vanished without a trace!

Where had they gone?

La Jingzhou’s expression turned grim instantly!

Bai Shilan was his woman. Although he could never marry her, he absolutely could not tolerate her seeking out other men. That would be a direct insult to him.

“Jingzhou, are you looking for Miss Bai and the Second Young Master Ye?” Liu Yan reminded him considerately, “I think the Second Young Master Ye’s clothes got dirty, and Miss Bai is accompanying him to change.”

La Jingzhou felt as if he was seething with jealousy!

Ye Lin was changing clothes!

And Bai Shilan had gone with him?

What was she trying to do?!!

Liu Yan continued to speak with a light tone, “Ah, I didn’t expect them to be so close. This young couple probably won’t come back for a good while.”

Young couple.

Probably won’t come back for a good while.

La Jingzhou’s face turned green with irritation, but he managed to force a smile, “The two of them are unlikely to be involved in that way; I haven’t heard Shilan mention it.”

Liu Yan said with a smile, “Then you, as a boss, are not doing your job properly. Are you too fierce, causing the staff to be afraid to tell you the truth? Jingzhou, it’s normal for young people to date. We shouldn’t interfere too much.”

La Jingzhou was driven to madness.

Not interfere too much?

So was he supposed to just let Bai Shilan throw herself at another man?

No, no, no. There must be some misunderstanding here!

Shilan couldn’t possibly betray him.

It must be Ye Lin who used some trick, forcing Shilan.

He couldn’t just wait like this.

“Jingzhou, what’s wrong with you? You look terrible,” Liu Yan said, seemingly concerned for him, but in reality, she was reveling in his misfortune.

Luckily, La Jingzhou’s rage made him oblivious to her tone.

La Jingzhou managed to squeeze out a smile and said, “Xiaoyan, Bai Shilan is a top female star; if news of her and Ye Lin were to get out, the impact would be huge. I better go and talk to her first, and prepare a PR plan.”

Worried that Liu Yan would object, he thought of a plethora of arguments to convince her.

Unexpectedly, Liu Yan just nodded her head.

Liu Yan spoke with a beaming smile, “That’s true. After all, both Bai Shilan and Ye Lin have such high popularity. If pictures of them get taken by accident, it could become quite troublesome to handle. Come on, I’ll go with you to check on them.”

La Jingzhou nodded swiftly.

He wanted to stealthily check the upstairs room.

But unexpectedly,

Liu Yan called out in the direction of Ye Bolin.

“President Ye, President Ye.”

Suddenly, everyone turned their gaze onto him.

As soon as they saw La Jingzhou,

The expressions of the crowd became mocking.

Only Liu Yan would be fooled in circles by La Jingzhou; the matter between him and Bai Shilan was common knowledge within the circle.

Now.

His own canary had flown away with someone else.

It was unknown what La Jingzhou was feeling.

La Jingzhou sensed those gazes and his face turned increasingly ugly!

His eyes filled with resentfulness.

This Liu Yan, what was she shouting for!

Now it was great, the whole room was watching his embarrassment.

Ye Bolin had already enthusiastically approached: “President La, Miss Liu, you’re finally here. Last time you came over, I regretted not being able to entertain you. This time, I’ve finally made up for it. President La, you must have a lot of fun tonight.”

Ye Bolin and Liu Yan exchanged a glance.

Mhm.

Tonight.

They assured that they would make La Jingzhou have a great time!

Liu Yan said with a smile, “President Ye’s banquet is indeed very interesting. Oh, by the way, President Ye, we just saw Shilan assisting Young Master Ye Lin upstairs. Did something happen?”

“Oh, my brother seems to be feeling uncomfortable, and Miss Bai, being kind-hearted, went to care for him,” Ye Bolin replied.

La Jingzhou couldn’t help but say with a dark face, “If Ye Lin is unwell, why should Shilan be the one to care for him? Is this how the Ye Family treats its guests?”

Ye Bolin said with a smiling face, “You’re misjudging me here. Our Ye Family doesn’t have such intentions. However, as everyone saw just now, Miss Bai, in her eagerness to catch up with my younger brother, actually burst out with extraordinary power and jumped over three whole meters! Her persistence towards my brother really moved me.”

La Jingzhou’s face grew darker.

Laughter started to arise from the crowd.

Bai Shilan jumping onto Ye Lin, humorous level: 10%.

La Jingzhou witnessing it, humorous level: 100%.

Devoting oneself to a canary, only to get stabbed in the back? This drama was simply too entertaining.

“It’s all a misunderstanding,” La Jingzhou gritted his teeth and forcibly said, “Where did they go now? I need to discuss official business with Shilan.”

“Oh, is that so?” Ye Bolin smiled slightly, “Then let me take you up to see.”

Ye Bolin turned to lead the way.

La Jingzhou always felt something was off…

But!

He really couldn’t tolerate the thought of Bai Shilan and Ye Lin being in a room together, he lifted his leg and without hesitation, followed, and Liu Yan also followed with a smile.

The others saw this.

Shoot.

What to do now?

A great show seemed to be unfolding next.

If they followed to watch, it would seem they lacked composure.

If they didn’t watch, they would regret it for life!

They were hesitating.

Then they saw Ye Xiao had already swiftly followed, cracking some sunflower seeds in her hand.

The most exaggerated part was.

The CEO of the Gu Family, Gu Yan.

Actually considerately reached out his hand to catch the sunflower seed shells Ye Xiao had finished eating.

Everyone: “???”

What’s the situation now?

Ye Xiao and Gu Yan?

Wait a minute!

That’s not important!

The important thing is! The drama is about to begin!

The crowd hurriedly followed. Whether they were composed or not was another matter; first, they had to follow and watch the drama unfold!
