The Cunning CEO's Contract Wife

Chapter 10 Stupid Woman!

Lin Ran wiped her mouth without changing her expression before looking up at Ye Chuchu.

"none of your business."

She didn't have time to reminisce with Ye Chuchu here; she was more interested in finding a small shop to buy a change of clothes.

Ye Chuchu snapped out of her daze and saw Lin Ran's departing figure. In a panic, she chased after him, shouting, "Wait! Stop right there!"

"Lin Ran, you look terrible. Did the Xiao family kick you out? Why don't you beg me? Maybe I'll take pity on you and buy you some clothes."

Lin Ran paused, turned to look at the arrogant Ye Chuchu, and a hint of mockery appeared in her eyes.

"Ye Chuchu, if you keep talking to me like that, the Ye family's company might be doomed."

"If Ye Minghua knew it was because of you, do you think you would feel good about it?"

Lin Ran tilted her head slightly, revealing a provocative smile.

"Lin Ran, you wait. You'll be kicked out of the Xiao family sooner or later. What good is it if you marry into the family now? You'll still be kicked out, won't you?"

Ye Chuchu was initially a little annoyed, but after saying these words, she became smug again.

……

Meanwhile, on the top floor of the Xiao Group building, Xiao Jingchen stared coldly at his phone on the table. Although his face didn't show it, the tapping of his fingers on the table revealed that his mood was not as calm as it appeared.

After learning that she had been bullied, Xiao Jingchen asked Zhou Qing to buy her a custom-made outfit and even sent her a text message asking her to come over.

But that woman not only didn't reply to the message, she also didn't show up!

"Zhou Qing."

Xiao Jingchen said coldly, "Go and find that woman."

"Okay, Mr. Xiao, I'll be right there."

Zhou Qing didn't dare to delay and went to find out the direction Lin Ran had left in.

When he arrived, he happened to witness this scene.

Zhou Qing recognized his young mistress in a second. He straightened his back and walked over, saying respectfully, "Madam, President Xiao is waiting for you in his office."

Ye Chuchu's sour expression was on full display.

Lin Ran deliberately said, "Well, I don't want to waste any more time here, let's go."

After saying that, she followed Zhou Qing and left without even saying goodbye to Ye Chuchu.

This little bitch!

Ye Chuchu stomped her feet in anger!

Did she really think that marrying into the Xiao family would make her a phoenix rising from the ashes?

Just wait for me!

……

Lin Ran followed Zhou Qing for quite a distance before saying, "Assistant Zhou, what brings you here?"

Zhou Qing stared at Lin Ran for a long time before finally speaking, "Madam, didn't you see the message Mr. Xiao sent you?"

"what news?"

Lin Ran asked subconsciously, but before she could finish speaking, she suddenly remembered the message she had received at noon.

Was it really posted by Xiao Jingchen?

Zhou Qing stopped there, gesturing for him to come in, "Please come in."

Lin Ran really didn't expect that the message was sent by Xiao Jingchen, but there was no one to save her right now, so she could only bite the bullet and go in.

Lin Ran said cautiously, "President Xiao, I didn't see that message, I'm sorry!"

"What do you want from me?"

Seeing that Xiao Jingchen didn't speak but just stared at her, Lin Ran felt inexplicably uneasy.

"That's the lounge over there, go change your clothes."

Xiao Jingchen finally spoke, glancing at the dark marks on Lin Ran's clothes, and said with some disgust.

"Huh? Change clothes?" Lin Ran asked somewhat awkwardly, "But I didn't bring any spare clothes..."

"It's inside."

Xiao Jingchen frowned at Lin Ran's stupidity; he must be crazy to want to buy clothes for this woman!

"Oh, good."

Lin Ran obediently walked towards the lounge, and Xiao Jingchen added, "Don't wear these kinds of clothes out in the future, lest outsiders see them and think that my Xiao family has gone bankrupt."

"Oh."

Lin Ran responded and went to change her clothes.

This woman was so obedient that Xiao Jingchen felt like he had punched a cotton ball, unable to even muster any anger.

That's true, she's just a contract wife, what's there to be angry about!

Xiao Jingchen thought about it and felt a little ridiculous. Just as he was curling his lips into a smile, Lin Ran came out.

"Mr. Xiao, you should smile more often," Lin Ran sincerely praised. "You look really good when you smile like that."

nice?!

Xiao Jingchen's expression shifted rapidly. Was she praising him?

Who compliments a man's looks?

Although that's what he thought, Lin Ran's words came from the heart, and he could tell that.

Xiao Jingchen finally sighed and said, "You are my wife, from now on just call me Jingchen."

"This is a company, so I'll still call you President Xiao..."

Lin Ran continued speaking stubbornly, then suddenly seemed to remember something, raised her hand and looked, and realized that lunch break was over!

"Mr. Xiao, I'm going to be late for work, I have to go now!"

After saying that, Lin Ran hurriedly left the office, leaving Xiao Jingchen alone, bewildered.

Going to work is more important than him?!

The entire Xiao family is his!

What on earth is this woman thinking?!

……

When Lin Ran returned to the secretariat, Song Nuan had already assigned her a lot of work.

The work mainly involved communication and data organization. It wasn't particularly difficult, but the workload was surprisingly large. Lin Ran took a deep breath and cheered herself up. She had finally gotten this job, so she had to do her best!

Organize, summarize, send...

Lin Ran was so busy that she didn't get off work until it was time to leave. She had never felt so fulfilled before.

Relieved, Lin Ran got up to leave, just as she bumped into Li Xiaoxiao.

Just as she was about to make a sarcastic remark, she noticed the clothes Lin Ran was wearing.

It's from the same brand as what she's wearing, but while hers is a style that was phased out last year, Lin Ran's is a brand new product that was just released a few days ago.

Seeing her shocked look, Lin Ran understood. "Ah, that dress got dirty, so I just changed into another one. What's wrong?"

Li Xiaoxiao's face turned pale, and she opened her mouth but couldn't utter a rebuttal.

Did you just change into something casually?

You should know that the price of this dress is equivalent to more than half a year's salary for her!

Not to mention limited editions!

So, what she'd been showing off for so long might mean nothing to Lin Ran?

And yet, she had previously mocked others so much...

Li Xiaoxiao smiled and said cautiously, "Um, Lin Ran, what happened this morning was my fault. I apologize to you, so please don't take it to heart, okay?"

Lin Ran looked at Li Xiaoxiao's cautious appearance and couldn't help but want to laugh.

They really do treat people differently based on their status, huh?

Just because he changed his clothes, his attitude changed so much?

She took a step back aloofly. "It's not that I care, but could you please move aside? You're blocking the way."

"This……"

Li Xiaoxiao was left standing there, feeling extremely embarrassed, but she didn't dare to go after Lin Ran. Her face turned red and then white.

"This is hilarious! Some people tried to bully others with their clothing, and now they've been proven wrong!"

"Exactly, she even apologized, but nobody took her seriously at all!"

"Someone's going to lose face now!"

……

One after another, her colleagues cheered her on. Li Xiaoxiao stood there awkwardly, casting a pleading look at Lin Ran.

Lin Ran looked away.

She didn't like dealing with people like Li Xiaoxiao; she didn't hold a grudge because she felt it wasn't worth it, and she also didn't feel the need to help her.

Picking up her bag, Lin Ran left Li Xiaoxiao behind.

Downstairs, Xiao Jingchen's car was quietly parked in a secluded spot at the intersection. Zhou Qing stared intently at the Xiao family's gate. When she saw Lin Ran come out, she quickly reminded her, "Mr. Xiao, Madam is out."

"Ah."

Xiao Jingchen responded, "Call her over."

"Yes."

Zhou Qing got out of the car and said a few words to Lin Ran, then led Lin Ran, turning left and right, to the front of the car.

Lin Ran asked curiously, "Jingchen, is there something you need from me?"

Xiao Jingchen's lips twitched. What else could he want to talk to you about at this hour?

Of course, I'm going home!

Is this woman an idiot?!
