The Cunning CEO's Contract Wife

Chapter 181 Remember to Call President Xiao

That thing? Which thing was it?

Lin Ran frowned slightly, her tone puzzled.

Which matter are you referring to?

"Stop pretending. Didn't you ask the old man to bring people to smash all the gifts that Brother Jingchen gave me?"

Seeing Ye Chuchu's annoyed expression, Lin Ran suddenly burst out laughing.

"Did those things you were showing off get smashed? I didn't do it, but I'm actually quite happy to see you in trouble."

"Of course, you can also assume that I did it."

Looking at her like this, Ye Chuchu's eyes flashed with deep thought.

This wasn't like Lin Ran at all; at least before, she would never mock him so openly.

Besides...

Ye Chuchu frowned, about to speak, but many colleagues had already arrived in the office. She could only grit her teeth and turn to leave.

She originally planned to come to the company early to cause some trouble for Lin Ran, but she didn't expect that Lin Ran would also arrive early today.

But it doesn't matter, there's still a long time. She didn't believe Lin Ran could be so lucky every time.

Meanwhile, on the top floor, Xiao Jingchen was already sitting in his office. Before he could even catch his breath, the door was pushed open.

Ye Chuchu ran in, wiping away her tears.

"Brother Jingchen, sob sob..."

Seeing the tears on her face, Xiao Jingchen subtly took a few steps back before speaking.

"what's up?"

"It was Grandpa. I don't know if Grandpa misunderstood something, but he called a bunch of people to the house and smashed all the gifts you gave me."

Ye Chuchu lowered her head, looking aggrieved, and said something pointedly.

"If it were anything else, I wouldn't mind, but those things were gifts from Brother Jingchen, I..."

Before Ye Chuchu could finish speaking, she lowered her head and started crying again.

The sobbing sound annoyed Xiao Jingchen, and he impatiently tapped the table.

"I'll have Zhou Qing make it up to you."

Ye Chuchu's pupils dilated, a hint of surprise in them.

She didn't say those things to get Xiao Jingchen to give her a gift, but rather...

"Okay, you go out first."

Ye Chuchu clenched her fists at her sides, but she had no right to refuse, so she could only turn and leave.

She wondered if it was just her imagination, but Lin Ran and Xiao Jingchen both seemed a bit off today.

As the day came to an end, Ye Chuchu left work absentmindedly, only to see Ye Minghua downstairs.

He was driving a new car and wearing a black suit, and he really did look like a successful person.

Ye Chuchu knew that the Ye family was able to turn the tide and even improve its situation because of Xiao Jingchen's help.

Without Xiao Jingchen, let alone a new car, the Ye family wouldn't be able to afford even the new clothes Ye Minghua was wearing.

Ye Chuchu composed herself, called out "Dad" in a clear voice, and ran over.

Ye Minghua, with a loving expression, reached out and patted Ye Chuchu's head, completely unaware that the hair beneath his hand had become disheveled because of his movement.

Before the two could finish speaking, Lin Ran also came out of the company. Unlike Ye Chuchu's reaction, her first reaction to Ye Minghua was disgust. She then decisively pretended not to know him and walked past them.

"Lin Ran, you unfilial daughter, do you even respect me as your father anymore?"

Ye Minghua lost face, especially with so many people standing around. His face turned ashen, and he lost his temper.

He simply forgot that Lin Ran was no longer the submissive and submissive person she once was in the Ye family.

"Lin Ran, you stop right there! Can't you see me?"

Seeing that Lin Ran ignored him, Ye Minghua impatiently called out again.

Lin Ran's colleagues all looked over curiously. She took a few deep breaths before she could finally calm down.

She slowly turned her head to look at Ye Minghua, her disgust undisguised.

"Of course I saw you, you're such a big person. Did you need something?"

Because of Ye Minghua's two shouts, everyone around had noticed this side, and upon hearing Lin Ran's words, they couldn't help but laugh.

Ye Minghua's face turned ashen. He subconsciously raised his hand, but the next second he realized that he was not in the Ye family home, so he could only awkwardly withdraw it and cough to cover up his embarrassment.

"Lin Ran, no matter what, we are father and daughter. We need to talk things over properly. What do you think?"

Ye Minghua spoke sincerely, looking like a good father who was worried about his daughter.

Lin Ran couldn't stand his fake facade, but she really didn't want to make a scene in front of so many people, so she could only suppress her nausea and walk over.

Ye Chuchu opened the car door first, sat in the passenger seat, and looked at Lin Ran standing next to her with a hint of smugness in her tone.

"You should sit in the back; the front passenger seat isn't a place for you."

Lin Ran nodded knowingly and sat down in the back row without hesitation.

"I understand, I'm fine sitting in the back and enjoying myself, right?"

Ye Chuchu was stunned for a few seconds before she realized what Lin Ran meant, and her fists clenched tightly.

Ye Minghua led everyone directly to the Ye family villa, but Lin Ran stood at the door with no intention of going in.

"Just say what you have to say here. I'm not in the mood to be a guest at your house."

This time, Ye Minghua didn't force her to go in; he just gave her a command.

"The Ye family is hosting a banquet this weekend. Why don't you come and attend?"

Is the Ye family hosting a banquet?

A hint of surprise flashed across Lin Ran's face, but compared to that, Ye Minghua's invitation to the banquet was obviously more puzzling.

"Remember to call Mr. Xiao when you come over."

Upon hearing this, the surprise in Lin Ran's eyes slowly faded.

That makes sense. If he didn't have a specific request, Ye Minghua would never have been so kind as to invite her to any banquet.

"I'm not going to the banquet, and I won't bring Xiao Jingchen with me either."

Lin Ran gave her answer without hesitation, glancing contemptuously at the two people in front of her.

"Of course, I will pray that the Ye family will go bankrupt soon."

"Rebellious girl!"

Ye Minghua was furious and pointed at Lin Ran, cursing her fiercely.

He had so humbly stated his request, and Lin Ran, as his daughter, not only failed to help him, but also dared to say such rebellious things.

Compared to Ye Minghua's anger, Lin Ran was much calmer.

She looked up and glanced at them, then suddenly smiled.

"I'm a rebellious daughter, and you're no better."

"Also, instead of asking me for help, why don't you ask your good daughter for help? Maybe she will help you."

After saying that, Lin Ran ignored Ye Minghua's expression and turned to leave.
