The Cunning CEO's Contract Wife

Chapter 141 The Illness is Mysterious

Snapped!

Jiang Jun angrily swept all the documents off his desk, his chest heaving violently.

He thought that with the matter escalating so much, even if Xiao Jingchen wanted to protect that woman, he wouldn't be able to. But he never expected that a completely unrelated person would suddenly appear to take the blame.

"Grandpa, didn't you say there wouldn't be any accidents this time? Why is that bitch back at the company?"

Jiang Rao walked in with a dissatisfied look on her face. Seeing the mess in the room, her expression did not change at all. She hugged Jiang Jun's arm and acted coquettishly.

"Grandpa, you promised me you would let her leave the company."

Faced with his granddaughter's coquettish behavior, Jiang Jun's expression changed, and he suppressed the anger in his eyes and spoke to comfort her.

"Don't worry, Rao Rao, Xiao Jingchen is yours. That bitch won't take him away like that."

"Grandpa will definitely find a way to get her out of the Xiao family, and it would be best if she disappeared from Xiao Jingchen's side completely."

"Yes, I knew Grandpa was the best to me."

It's easier said than done.

Jiang Jun specifically assigned someone to keep an eye on Lin Ran, hoping she would make a mistake so he would have a reason to kick her out, but he didn't expect to see her come to work for several days in a row.

Meanwhile, on the other island, Lin Ran stared nervously at the tightly closed door, her hands clasped in front of her chest as she prayed incessantly.

"Please make sure you're alright."

The corridor lights flickered on and off, and even though the doctor had said it wasn't a major surgery, Lin Ran was still incredibly anxious.

Lin Ran felt as if an eternity had passed before the operating room door finally opened.

"Doctor, how is my mother?"

The doctor who came out was blond and blue-eyed, and he didn't look too relaxed.

Lin Ran's heart sank, and she bit her lip, leaning closer to ask.

“Miss Lin, your mother is doing very well now, but…”

The man seemed hesitant, glanced around, and continued in broken Chinese, "Your mother's illness doesn't seem to have developed naturally, do you understand what I mean?"

Lin Ran's heart sank, and she slowly nodded, her expression inscrutable.

She had some doubts before, but now that the doctor had said it so bluntly, a dull pain throbbed in her heart.

How dare Ye Minghua?

No matter what, Lin Qing is his wife, how could he...

"Miss Lin, are you alright?"

Noticing the change in Lin Ran's emotions, the doctor looked at the girl in front of him with concern.

"Sorry, I was distracted just now. Thank you for treating my mother."

Lin Ran snapped out of her daze and gave the person a faint smile.

The man seemed to want to ask something more, but seeing her still not-so-good complexion, he fell silent.

Because of this matter on his mind, Lin Ran did not stay on the island for too long this time, and left after watching Lin Qing wake up.

Now, whenever she thinks that there might be another reason for her mother's illness, her heart aches terribly, and she wishes she could fly back to the Ye family right now to find out the truth.

Of course, she did so.

Looking at the incredibly familiar front door of her home, Lin Ran felt a chill run down her spine.

She would never want to step into this place again unless absolutely necessary, but...

She suppressed the disgust in her eyes and walked in expressionlessly.

Unexpectedly, Ye Minghua was not at the company at this time.

The two looked at each other and froze on the spot.

"Minghua, do you think I look good in this?"

As Wang Mei spoke, she came downstairs and her expression stiffened when she saw Lin Ran suddenly appear in the living room.

"Why is she back?"

Lin Ran pursed her lips, glanced at Wang Mei, then looked away, her eyes full of mockery.

The dress she was wearing belonged to Lin Qing, but she was taken to the hospital before she could put it on.

Thinking of this, Lin Ran tightened her grip, using all her strength to prevent herself from revealing her emotions.

Do I need to tell you I'm going home?

Although Lin Ran doesn't intend to cause trouble now, it doesn't mean she will ignore Wang Mei's provocation.

However, compared to Wang Mei's disgust, Ye Minghua's expression was not unpleasant.

There was even some joy.

"You're back just in time."

"The company is short of money right now, can you give me five million to tide me over?"

Ye Minghua's matter-of-fact tone amused Lin Ran. She looked up at her nominal father, her eyes full of sarcasm. Countless words swirled in her throat, but she didn't utter a single one.

"I have no money. If you want money, go find your good daughter."

Wang Mei's initially impatient expression changed after hearing Ye Minghua's words, and her gaze towards Lin Ran became more greedy.

She was very clear about the current situation of the Ye family. Xiao Jingchen said he would help, but he could only maintain the company's most basic operation. As for making a profit, it was harder than climbing to heaven.

She's even started selling her jewelry!

"Chuchu is still very young. You are her older sister. Shouldn't you contribute some money to the family?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Ran couldn't help but laugh, her tone sarcastic, "She's still young? Wang Mei, don't you find that ridiculous?"

She glanced at Ye Minghua, who was filled with anger, and the last shred of hope she had for her "father" vanished.

"I only came back to look for some things. Don't worry, I won't get in your way."

Lin Ran spoke calmly, and then turned to go upstairs.

She had to go check out Lin Qing's old room. If the illness was indeed related to certain people, there would definitely be clues in the room.

"You unfilial daughter! I've raised you for nothing!"

"Look at yourself now! You don't look like a daughter of the Ye family at all!"

Hearing Ye Minghua's angry roar behind her, Lin Ran paused slightly.

"If I could, I would prefer that we had absolutely no connection."

After saying that, Lin Ran quickened her pace and headed towards the innermost room.

Wang Mei was stunned for a few seconds, then suddenly came to her senses and took a few steps forward to block Lin Ran's way.

"Since you say the Ye family has nothing to do with you anymore, then you'd better get out of here right now."

Lin Ran was forced to stop, frowned and looked at the person in front of her with an impatient expression.

"I'm just here to find something, move aside."

“This is my mother’s room. Her things do not belong to the Ye family.”

Upon hearing this, a flicker of panic flashed across Wang Mei's eyes. She stood in front of the door with her entire body, showing no intention of moving aside.

"What do you mean 'your mother's room'? This is just a storage room; you won't find what you're looking for here."

The words "storage room" struck Lin Ran's heart like a hammer.

Lin Qing fell ill suddenly, and no one touched anything in the room, not even Lin Ran, who rarely went into that room.

Now Wang Mei is saying this place has been turned into a storage room, how can she accept that?
