The Cunning CEO's Contract Wife

Chapter 307 Nobody Listens to the Truth

When Old Master Xiao saw Lin Ran nod, his expression became even stranger.

"Grandpa, is something wrong?"

Lin Ran thought for a long time, but still didn't know what they had done wrong, so she could only ask in confusion.

"It's nothing. I just suddenly remembered that I have some things to do here. You guys should get some rest."

you?

Lin Ran paused for a second, then suddenly realized that the old man had misunderstood something. Just as she was about to explain, the video call was disconnected.

Xiao Jingchen couldn't help but smile slightly, but when he saw Lin Ran's gaze sweep over, he quickly suppressed that smile.

"Your dinner is in the kitchen, I'll be going now."

I thought Xiao Jingchen would find another reason to stay, but I didn't expect him to leave so decisively.

Lin Ran only snapped back to reality when the door slammed shut.

Was she a little too fierce just now?

Outside the door, Xiao Jingchen stood there waiting for a long time but didn't hear Lin Ran's voice trying to persuade him to stay. He could only sigh deeply and leave.

It seems that restoring the relationship to its previous state is harder than climbing to heaven.

Lin Ran was completely unaware of these thoughts. She walked into the kitchen and looked at the warm food, and felt a sense of warmth in her heart.

However, this warmth only lasted for one night.

The next day, as soon as she arrived at the company gate, Li Yinyin rushed over with her hair disheveled.

His disheveled appearance made it seem as if he had been wandering outside for several years.

Lin Ran was startled and took several steps back before stopping.

"Lin Ran, Lin Ran, I beg you, I apologize, please let me go back to work at the company."

Li Yinyin caught a glimpse of Lin Ran's actions, a hint of malice flashed in her eyes, but when she looked up again, she was crying pitifully.

It was during working hours, and even though everyone around was in a hurry to get to work, they couldn't help but stop and take a look when they saw some juicy gossip.

This is exactly the effect Li Yinyin wanted.

She knelt down on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly, so hard that she almost knocked herself unconscious.

Lin Ran frowned, not understanding what Li Yinyin was trying to do.

"Lin Ran, I have a mother at home who is sick and needs surgery. Please, give me a chance. I promise I will never talk about you again."

Hearing her words, Lin Ran's gaze turned colder and colder.

She slightly curved her lips, looked at the person whose forehead was already bleeding, and asked with a hint of doubt.

"But I'm just a team leader. Firing you was the CEO's order. How can I let him take it back?"

"But I was kicked out because I talked about you, Lin Ran. I will never talk about you again. Please let me go back."

Li Yinyin's face stiffened, her eyes darting around in a panic, and the next second she started banging her head back to work.

"If you don't let me go back to work, my mother will definitely die from her illness, Lin Ran. I'm begging you, you don't want anything to happen to my mother, do you?"

This blatant moral blackmail made Lin Ran's face turn completely cold.

Despite the pointing fingers and whispers around her, her tone remained surprisingly calm.

"I'll say it one last time, your dismissal was the president's decision, it has nothing to do with me."

Lin Ran coldly uttered these words and turned to walk towards the company.

Surprisingly, Li Yinyin didn't chase after him; instead, she knelt stiffly on the spot and started crying.

This is too strange.

If Li Yinyin really needed this job, why would she stop as soon as she entered the company?

Lin Ran suppressed her doubts and dealt with her work first. However, just a few hours later, Su Yi, who was secretly slacking off, suddenly stood up with a nervous expression.

"Ran-jie, look at this, isn't this Li Yinyin and you?"

Lin Ran paused, took the phone, and glanced at it.

It was exactly what happened outside the company gate this morning.

However, the video didn't stop after she entered the company; in fact, the progress bar was still more than halfway through.

Lin Ran's eyes flickered, and she finally realized where the unease in her heart came from.

The second half of the video is almost entirely Li Yinyin's monologue.

She tearfully confessed that she had accidentally said something "bad" about Lin Ran, and coincidentally, Lin Ran had an unspeakable relationship with a certain CEO, so the poor girl was fired.

Lin Ran took a deep breath, her fingers trembling slightly as she looked at the comments section.

Just as she expected, the comments section was full of people saying that she was shameless for bullying a poor girl like that.

There are even quite a few people who spread rumors without warning.

Seeing that her expression was off, Su Yi hurriedly snatched the phone away, glanced down at it, and his own expression was also very unpleasant.

"Sister Ranran, don't worry, I'll talk to the boss right away, and this matter will be explained soon."

Lin Ran nodded, but knew that this matter would not be so easy to resolve.

As expected, Fu Ssu-nien issued an explanation on the company's official Weibo account as soon as he learned of the matter.

But no one was willing to listen to this explanation; everyone seemed to be on Li Yinyin's side.

Even FG's shares have been affected.

Ye Family Villa.

Ye Chuchu looked at the comments with satisfaction, unable to suppress the smile on her face.

"You did a good job. I'd like to see how that bitch Lin Ran tries to take it from me this time."

Li Yinyin's heart leaped into her throat when she saw Li Yinyin's vicious expression.

She kept twisting the hem of her clothes with both hands, and after hesitating for a long time, she finally spoke with a nervous expression.

"Um, Miss Ye, about the money you promised me before..."

Ye Chuchu raised her eyes impatiently, "Alright, since you did a pretty good job, I'll transfer 200,000 to you."

Upon hearing this number, Li Yinyin opened her mouth, a hint of surprise on her face.

"But Miss Ye, you promised me 500,000 before, didn't you?"

"Five million?"

Ye Chuchu looked up and sized up Li Yinyin, her disgust in her eyes undisguised.

"Two hundred thousand is a lot of money for you, right? You only filmed a video, I did everything else. Giving you two hundred thousand is already a lot."

"But……"

Li Yinyin opened her mouth again, but was startled by Ye Chuchu's cold gaze, and swallowed her words back, a few tears welling up in her eyes.

“Li Yinyin, I’m giving you two choices. First, take the 200,000 and leave. Second, I’ll give you one million and burn it for you.”

Li Yinyin hadn't expected Ye Chuchu to be so fierce. Her head felt dizzy, but she knew that her life was more important.

She stumbled and fell away from the Ye family villa, her limbs feeling weak.

Meanwhile, in the FG office, Lin Ran calmly observed the public opinion, her face expressionless.

All her explanations now seemed like cover-ups, and no one was willing to listen to her.
