The Cunning CEO's Contract Wife

Chapter 219 Aren't we friends?

Xiao Jingchen's expression was also not good at this moment. Although Lin Ran had not done anything wrong, he felt as if something was blocking his heart, and he was extremely uncomfortable.

"Mr. Xiao, should we call them back?"

Seeing that Xiao Jingchen remained silent, Zhou Qing could only tentatively ask a question, but to his surprise, Xiao Jingchen's expression worsened, and his gaze seemed to want to tear him apart.

"Whatever she does, let's go to the company."

Xiao Jingchen snorted coldly, threw the thing in his hand on the ground with a thud, and turned to leave the living room.

Ye Chuchu was also startled by the sound, but this time she didn't follow it. Instead, she couldn't wait to go home.

"Brother Jingchen, my feet hurt terribly, so I won't be going to the company with you this time."

Ye Chuchu looked extremely uncomfortable. If Xiao Jingchen had just glanced at her, he would have noticed something was wrong. However, he was preoccupied with Lin Ran and couldn't care less about anything else. He hurriedly gave a reply and left.

For the first time, Ye Chuchu wasn't unhappy about Xiao Jingchen's neglect; instead, she couldn't wait to see him leave.

After the car noise gradually faded away, Ye Chuchu hurriedly hailed a taxi to go home.

Wang Mei already knew that Ye Chuchu had spent the night with Xiao Jingchen, and she seemed somewhat surprised to see her arrive so early in the morning.

"Chuchu, why are you back so soon?"

Wang Mei gave Ye Chuchu a knowing look, and only calmed down when she noticed that Ye Chuchu's expression was a bit off.

"What's wrong? Why do you look like that?"

"Did that bitch Lin Ran do something again?"

Ye Chuchu and Wang Mei are indeed mother and daughter; they think exactly the same when faced with problems.

"No, Mom, Lin Ran didn't come back last night."

Ye Chuchu's voice carried a hint of inexplicable panic.

"She went to the West Asia Hotel."

Upon hearing this, Wang Mei's expression changed, her face darkening as she pondered something.

"Come on, let's go over and take a look."

Within seconds, Wang Mei made her decision and took Ye Chuchu to the hotel without hesitation.

At the same time, Xiao Yunsi also received the message.

The man, who was originally gentle and refined, now had a wicked smile on his lips. He swirled the red wine in his hand, and a dark glint flashed in his eyes.

Something seems to have happened between Xiao Jingchen and Lin Ran these days, but no matter how hard he tries to investigate, he can't find out anything.

However, one thing is certain: they must have had a fight.

Xiao Yunsi chuckled softly, downed the red wine in one gulp, and drove away from the villa.

Since Lin Ran has already done this, it would be a waste for him not to seize this opportunity to make Xiao Jingchen misunderstand.

Lin Ran was unaware of all of this.

She is resting in the house.

She had been working overtime non-stop lately, and coupled with her restlessness, her condition was extremely poor.

But it seemed as if God was deliberately trying to prevent her from resting.

Lin Ran was still a little dazed and hadn't even closed her eyes when a frantic knocking started on the door.

"coming."

Lin Ran responded listlessly, nestled in the soft blankets, and sighed softly before resignedly standing up.

As soon as the door opened, Lin Ran's eyes widened in surprise. She instinctively tried to close the door, but Wang Mei and Ye Chuchu had already walked in, followed by two men.

Lin Ran hesitated for only a moment before obediently taking a few steps back, showing no intention of stopping her.

Ye Chuchu came prepared, and she had no choice but to comply.

"You bitch, you really are here. What? What are you planning to do?"

The moment Ye Chuchu saw Lin Ran, her face contorted with anger, and she spoke without any restraint.

"Don't you know perfectly well what I'm going to do?"

Although Lin Ran did not intend to have a conflict with them, she would not let herself be manipulated like this.

She sat down on the sofa quite naturally, seemingly not taking Wang Mei and her daughter seriously at all.

"Of course we know, but unfortunately you can't leave today."

Wang Mei, being an adult, remained calmer than Ye Chuchu for a long time. She waved to the two men, and Lin Ran turned to run away, but was caught and brought back.

"How dare you? There are surveillance cameras outside!"

Lin Ran's arms were held tightly, and no matter how much she struggled, she didn't budge.

"So what if there are surveillance cameras? I can remove the previous ones, and I can do the same now."

A flicker of lingering fear crossed Lin Ran's eyes.

She was so calm just now because it was safe enough here, but things are different now. How could she forget what kind of person Wang Mei was!

Ye Chuchu looked down and caught a glimpse of the panic that flashed quickly in Lin Ran's eyes, and couldn't help but smile smugly.

"Lin Ran? You never thought you'd have a day like this, did you?"

"You think you can take it from me? You're not worthy."

"I'll tell you a secret, last night Jingchen and I already..."

Ye Chuchu deliberately blushed, which would lead anyone to misunderstand.

Not to mention Lin Ran.

Her already pale face turned even paler.

It even makes one wonder if she might faint at any moment.

"Alright, Chuchu, stop wasting time talking to her. Let's take her away first."

The two had already made their decision when they arrived. Since Lin Ran had come here on her own, wouldn't it save them a lot of trouble by kidnapping her without anyone noticing?

The mother and daughter swaggered out the door and, with Lin Ran gagged, were about to leave through the back door.

None of them expected that someone who shouldn't be there at all would suddenly appear.

"Xiao Yunsi? What are you doing here?"

Ye Chuchu's tone was filled with undisguised disgust. She frowned at the man blocking the doorway, paused, and then her expression suddenly changed.

"You didn't come here for Lin Ran, did you? Could it be that you two really..."

Xiao Yunsi smiled, but did not deny it. He glanced at Lin Ran, who was being held by two men, and secretly winked.

"Ye Chuchu, I don't care what your relationship with Xiao Jingchen is, but you shouldn't touch my people."

Xiao Yunsi's phrase "my person" is extremely ambiguous.

Lin Ran instinctively wanted to retort, but her mouth was gagged, making it impossible for her to even hum a few words, let alone explain.

Ye Chuchu was taken aback at first, then burst into laughter as if she had discovered some treasure.

"Lin Ran, you really are a slut. Not only do you cling to Brother Jingchen, but you also prey on an illegitimate child of the Xiao family. You really are despicable."

The words "illegitimate child" undoubtedly ignited the anger in Xiao Yunsi's heart. A sinister glint flashed in his eyes, but his smile became even brighter.
