The Cunning CEO's Contract Wife

Chapter 23 I'll come and take care of you

Lin Ran never expected that she would see Xiao Jingchen when she opened her eyes.

"water……"

When Lin Ran opened her mouth, she realized that her voice was frighteningly hoarse, like a withered tree, and her body ached as if she had been run over by something.

The water by the bed seemed to have been there for a while, and Lin Ran felt her throat get better after drinking the warm water.

"Thank you."

Xiao Jingchen frowned as he looked at the pale-faced woman in front of him, his eyes filled with complicated emotions. After a long while, he sighed softly.

"Get some rest."

Lin Ran was stunned. Before she could react to what Xiao Jingchen meant, she felt a pain in her leg.

"Ouch, what happened to my leg?"

Lin Ran looked like a startled fawn, staring wide-eyed at her legs covered by the blanket, her voice trembling uncontrollably.

She remembered.

That driver deliberately crashed into a large truck coming from the opposite direction!

"Someone's trying to kill me! Help me!"

Lin Ran frantically grabbed Xiao Jingchen's hand, her clear black and white eyes filled with fear.

Xiao Jingchen originally wanted to shake him off, but for some reason, looking at those eyes filled with tears and fear, he inexplicably spoke up to comfort them.

"What's wrong? Explain yourself more clearly."

"That driver did it on purpose; he caused me to crash into the oncoming car."

Lin Ran spoke slowly and deliberately, completely unaware that the man's gaze was fixed intently on her.

"Nonsense, this was just an accident."

After listening, a cold glint flashed in Xiao Jingchen's eyes, and he spoke without hesitation.

"The driver suddenly had a medical episode while driving, which is why the accident happened. Don't think about things that aren't relevant."

Lin Ran opened her mouth as if to refute, but couldn't utter a single word.

"My Ranran, you've finally woken up!"

A strong, resonant voice rang out, and the door to the ward was flung open with a bang. Old Master Xiao strode in briskly.

"Grandpa, slow down."

Lin Ran instinctively wanted to go over and help him, but Old Master Xiao was faster and pushed Xiao Jingchen aside.

"It's good that you're awake, it's good that you're awake, you scared me to death."

Looking at the old man's slightly red eyes, Lin Ran felt a pang of guilt.

"I'm sorry, Grandpa, I've made you worry."

If she had listened to Xiao Jingchen and taken Zhou Qing's car, this wouldn't have happened.

Xiao Jingchen stared at the warm scene, but for some reason felt a little uncomfortable.

"Since Grandpa is here, I'll be leaving now. I won't disturb you any longer."

"Bastard boy!"

The old man casually picked up a water glass from the table and threw it at Xiao Jingchen. Xiao Jingchen stood still, letting the glass shatter at his feet.

"Your wife was in a car accident, and you're still thinking about your job? I think you have no heart at all!"

The more Grandpa Xiao spoke, the angrier he became, his old face turning red with anger.

Lin Ran quickly helped the old man catch his breath.

"Grandpa, just let him go. There are so many doctors here, we don't need him to take care of us."

"But……"

"Okay, Grandpa, having you with me is enough."

Lin Ran winked at the old man, looking playful and cute.

Xiao Jingchen watched the interaction between the two expressionlessly, glanced down at the broken pieces on the ground, and turned to leave the ward.

Lin Ran did not stay in the hospital for long. After her condition stabilized the next day, she returned to the villa.

Xiao Jingchen also came over under the old man's coercion, reluctantly pushing Lin Ran's wheelchair.

"How about I do it myself?"

Lin Ran looked up at Xiao Jingchen's gloomy face and said cautiously, reaching out to try and move the wheelchair forward herself, but he pulled her back.

"You want me to make Grandpa angry?"

Lin Ran was stunned for a moment, then turned her head to look to the side and saw that Old Master Xiao's men were staring at them.

I didn't notice, I'm sorry.

Lin Ran said softly, but Xiao Jingchen seemed not to hear her and continued pushing his wheelchair forward.

"Oh, my Ranran, you're finally back! I hope nothing happened."

A sharp, piercing sound suddenly entered Lin Ran's ears, and when she looked up, she saw Wang Mei and Ye Chuchu guarding the door.

"Why are you here?"

Lin Ran's undisguised disgust startled Wang Mei for a moment, but the next second she laughed as if nothing had happened.

"What are you saying? You were in a car accident, and I brought your sister here to take care of you."

As Wang Mei spoke, she gave Ye Chuchu, who was standing behind her, a push.

"Chuchu, hurry up and say a few words to your sister."

Lin Ran looked over and saw that Ye Chuchu not only had exquisite makeup, but also wore a brand-new outfit and ten-centimeter high heels.

Dressed like this, how can you say you're here to take care of someone?

Lin Ran silently lowered her head, concealing the mockery in her eyes.

"Brother-in-law, are you tired? Why don't you let my mom push you?"

Ye Chuchu seemed not to have heard Wang Mei's words, her eyes fixed on Xiao Jingchen.

"Get out of the way."

Xiao Jingchen spoke coldly, not even deigning to glance at her, and pushed Lin Ran around him.

"Excuse me, Miss Ye, could you please move aside?"

Zhou Qing was carrying medicine prescribed by the doctor. She followed Xiao Jingchen back to the villa, leaving only the mother and daughter standing in the courtyard.

"Mom! Look at them, they're completely ignoring me!"

Ye Chuchu was used to being pampered in the Ye family, and she couldn't stand this kind of humiliation. She stomped her foot and complained to Wang Mei.

"Don't rush, Chuchu. Once we move into the villa, you'll have plenty of time to win over Xiao Jingchen."

Wang Mei lovingly tucked a stray strand of hair behind Ye Chuchu's ear, her tone brimming with confidence.

"Yes, Mom, you're right."

The mother and daughter talked for a while, then ignored the maid's attempts to stop them and went into the villa.

"Madam Ye, Miss Ye, you shouldn't come in without our young master's orders, should you?"

"I am the mother of your young mistress. Are you trying to kill me by treating me like this?"

Wang Mei put on airs, pulled Ye Chuchu to sit on the sofa, and acted as if she were in her own home.

They had been here once before, and this time they were much less likely to be stared at.

The maid who had just stopped the two of them stared at them nervously, fidgeting with the hem of her clothes.

"Assistant Zhou, those two people claimed to be the young mistress's mother and sister, and I couldn't kick them out..."

Upon seeing Zhou Qing coming downstairs, the maid quickly went over to him.

"Never mind that, go do something else."

Zhou Qing glanced at the two people sitting on the sofa and sighed softly.

He knew all too well how shameless these two were, so he'd better be careful until President Xiao came down.
