The Cunning CEO's Contract Wife

Chapter 121 Your granddaughter has quite a temper.

Inside the villa, Old Master Xiao sat on the edge of the bed, staring intently at Lin Ran. When he saw her eyelashes tremble, he leaned closer with excitement.

When Lin Ran opened her eyes, she saw Grandpa Xiao's magnified face. Her heart skipped a beat. If she hadn't been in some pain, she might have already rolled off the bed.

"Grandpa, what are you doing here?"

Lin Ran patted her chest, looking scared.

The old man deliberately put on a stern face, looking displeased.

"What? You don't want to see this old man? Then I'll leave now."

"No, Grandpa, I was just so excited to see you, I absolutely didn't mean anything else."

Seeing that Lin Ran seemed perfectly normal, the old man muttered a few words with a strange expression.

"You said Ranran wasn't scared, but I don't see anything wrong with her."

"Alright, get up now that you're awake. I've been craving that little cake for ages, so you'd better make me a lot today."

"I know, Grandpa."

Lin Ran smiled and replied, looking at the old man's childlike appearance with a hint of helplessness on her face.

Once everyone had left, Lin Ran suppressed her smile and touched the necklace around her neck.

She remembered everything that happened last night, including that the necklace was missing. It seems that Xiao Jingchen found it.

Lin Ran sat there blankly for a long time before finally getting up from the bed.

The bruises on her body had been carefully treated and treated with medicine. Lin Ran seemed to remember something, her face flushed, and she quickly tidied herself up and left the room.

Downstairs, Old Master Xiao was talking to someone. Lin Ran felt that the figure looked familiar, but before she could take a closer look, she walked into the room next door.

When she arrived downstairs, Butler Xiao came to greet her.

"Young Madam, the old master is having a few words with a friend and said he hopes to be able to eat cake when he comes out later."

Lin Ran withdrew her gaze and nodded to Butler Xiao.

"Don't worry, I'll make more that can be stored this time, so Grandpa can take them with him."

"Young mistress is truly filial. I'll go to the room to take a look then."

Like the old man, Butler Xiao also liked Lin Ran, this well-behaved girl, and made no attempt to hide the joy in his eyes. After giving her a few instructions, he also went into the room.

Although Lin Ran was curious, making desserts for her grandfather was more important right now.

The ingredients in the kitchen were already prepared. In fact, Lin Ran only needed to give a word and a servant would come to help. She preferred to do things herself and always did it herself.

"Get out of my way! Who do you think you are, daring to block my way? Believe me or not, I'll get my grandpa to fire you!"

A commotion came from outside the door. Lin Ran immediately recognized who was standing outside. A hint of displeasure flashed across her face. She put down what she was holding and walked out of the kitchen.

It really was Jiang Rao.

She pushed aside the servants at the door and barged in. Because of her status, the remaining people didn't dare to actually do anything and could only watch helplessly as she walked up to Lin Ran.

"It's all your fault, you vixen, seducing my brother Jingchen! Now he's made me get yelled at!"

"You deserve to die!"

Jiang Rao thought of Xiao Jingchen's cold gaze and was immediately filled with anger. She raised her hand to hit him.

Lin Ran's eyes flashed, and she slightly turned her head to dodge the slap, then raised her hand to grab her wrist.

"A vixen? Xiao Jingchen and I are a law-abiding couple. But what about you? What do you call yourself?"

Lin Ran curled her lips into a smile, speaking slowly and deliberately.

"What you call knowing three and acting three times is called knowing three."

"You bitch! What are you saying!"

Jiang Rao's eyes were bloodshot. She opened her mouth to curse and raised her other arm to strike.

"I didn't expect Jiang Rao to have such a temper."

The sudden sound startled Jiang Rao, who immediately withdrew her hand and turned around to find that Old Master Xiao was standing behind her at some point, staring at her with sharp eyes.

"Looks like I'm getting old. Now anyone can dare to lay a hand on my Xiao family."

Old Master Xiao spoke slowly and deliberately, but what he said made Jiang Jun, who was standing next to him, break out in a cold sweat.

He glanced at Jiang Rao, who looked completely lost, and smiled apologetically in a low voice.

"Old Master Xiao is joking. Rao Rao just has a bit of a fiery temper; she would never lay a hand on anyone from the Xiao family."

"Rao Rao, what just happened to you? Apologize to her right now!"

Seeing the old man's expressionless face, Jiang Jun gritted his teeth, looked up and scolded him.

Lin Ran raised an eyebrow, released Jiang Rao's hand, and stared at her with interest.

"sorry."

After a long pause, Jiang Rao managed to squeeze out a few words through gritted teeth, her eyes filled with anger.

"Forget it this time."

"My Ranran is a well-behaved and obedient girl. If I find out that anyone is bullying her, don't blame me for being ruthless."

With a warning, Old Master Xiao glanced lightly at the person beside him.

Jiang Jun quickly agreed and promised that such a thing would never happen again.

"Grandpa Xiao, how could you have been bewitched by her too!"

"You and Brother Jingchen are the same! You've both been bewitched by this vixen!"

Jiang Rao stomped her foot, turned around, and ran out.

Jiang Jun's face immediately darkened, and for the first time, he showed some dissatisfaction with his obedient granddaughter.

"It seems Jiang Rao is quite dissatisfied with my Xiao family. In that case, there's no need to say anything more. Let's leave quickly."

As soon as the old man finished speaking, Butler Xiao stepped forward and asked Jiang Jun to leave.

Even though he had so much to say, Jiang Jun couldn't bring himself to speak and could only leave.

Once all the annoying people had left the villa, Old Master Xiao's tense face immediately relaxed, and he smiled and waved to Lin Ran.

"Grandpa, the cake will be ready soon."

Lin Ran knew that the old man was doing this to support her, and a warm feeling welled up inside her, making it impossible for her to suppress the smile on her lips.

"You silly girl, do I look like the kind of person who only cares about cake?"

Hearing Lin Ran say this, the old man pretended to be serious, but he couldn't hide the smile on his face.

Lin Ran squatted down, rested her head on the old man's lap, and said in a coquettish tone, "I know Grandpa is supporting me, thank you Grandpa."

The old man was taken aback, then raised his hand and patted Lin Ran's head with affection in his eyes.

"You silly girl, remember to tell me if you suffer any grievances in the future. I'm getting old and won't be able to protect you for much longer."

"Grandpa, what nonsense are you talking about? You look perfectly fine and will definitely live to be a hundred!"

Lin Ran couldn't bear to hear the old man say these words, so she suddenly reached out and covered his mouth.

"Grandpa, if you say that again, you can forget about eating any more cakes."

"Alright, I won't say it again."

The two were chatting happily when a burnt smell came from the kitchen.

Lin Ran's expression changed, and she rushed into the kitchen.

"Oh no, the cupcakes are ruined!"
