The Cunning CEO's Contract Wife

Chapter 25: Selling 2 at a time

Seeing Lin Ran nod, Ye Chuchu smiled with satisfaction and reached out to pat her arm.

"Not bad, it seems you do know what you should and shouldn't do."

As soon as she finished speaking, Ye Chuchu suddenly threw off the covers, stared at Lin Ran's legs for a long time, and then suddenly smiled, her tone becoming more malicious.

"Why didn't you die outright? You only injured your leg. You got off easy."

Lin Ran paused for two seconds, then suddenly understood something and reached out to grab Ye Chuchu's wrist.

"It was you, wasn't it? You're the one who tried to ruin me!"

"Sister, you need to provide evidence before you speak. I didn't do anything."

Ye Chuchu smiled, gently pried Lin Ran's fingers off her, and turned to leave the room.

She had to tell her mother the good news quickly.

That evening, Lin Ran licked her dry lips and looked at the water glass on the other table with longing in her eyes.

She hasn't touched water since returning from the hospital. Ye Chuchu even sent away the maids who used to come to the house to take care of her. She wasn't even given a sip of water, let alone dinner.

Bang!

The bedroom door was suddenly pushed open, and Ye Chuchu walked in carrying a bowl of porridge. Although it was just ordinary white porridge, it was a rare delicacy for the starving Lin Ran.

"Sorry, I was tidying up the room and almost forgot you haven't had dinner yet."

Ye Chuchu spoke softly and considerately, but Lin Ran's alarm bells went off, and she looked at her warily.

Here's some porridge for you.

A hint of malice flashed in Ye Chuchu's eyes. She carried the porridge step by step over, but when Lin Ran reached out to take the bowl, she dropped it on the ground.

"Sister, if you don't want to eat, then don't eat. Why do you have to throw the food on the ground?"

Ye Chuchu exclaimed in feigned surprise, and the maid who was guarding outside quickly came in upon hearing the commotion.

"Young Madam, how can you not eat?"

"I……"

Lin Ran was completely stunned. Just as she was about to explain, Ye Chuchu stepped in front of her.

"Never mind, you can pack up and leave first. Maybe I'm not that hungry yet."

Lin Ran watched as the food in front of her was thrown on the ground. Only after the maid left did Ye Chuchu stop looking so pitiful.

"Ye Chuchu, I want some water."

Lin Ran took a deep breath before saying those words, but she never expected that Ye Chuchu would actually bring over a glass of water and place it on the bedside table as if it were a favor.

"Here, don't say I've mistreated you in the future."

Ye Chuchu looked down at Lin Ran, and seeing that she had no intention of resisting, she felt bored and turned to leave the bedroom.

At the far end of the corridor was Xiao Jingchen's bedroom, and he hadn't come out since he went in.

Ye Chuchu stared at that spot for a long time, a determined smile appearing on her face.

Clang clang clang.

The knocking brought Xiao Jingchen, who was engrossed in his work, back to reality. He frowned and looked up.

"Are you there? I'm here to deliver coffee."

"Enter."

Xiao Jingchen assumed it was a maid and continued looking at the documents in his hand without looking up until a hint of perfume wafted into his nose.

"Brother Xiao, you've been working for so long, why don't you have a cup of coffee and take a break?"

Before coming in, Ye Chuchu had specially changed into a tight-fitting outfit, so that her chest could be seen as soon as she bent over slightly.

"Brother Xiao".

Seeing that Xiao Jingchen didn't speak, Ye Chuchu boldly moved even closer, as if she wanted to stick to him.

"Get out of here!"

Xiao Jingchen's face turned completely dark, and the anger in his eyes almost materialized.

"Your Ye family is quite capable, isn't it? Selling one daughter isn't enough, are you planning to sell a second one as well?"

Ye Chuchu was surprised that Xiao Jingchen would be so angry. After a second of stunned silence, she burst into tears.

Large tears fell, but she stubbornly bit her lip, refusing to make a sound.

"My sister made me come. I didn't want to, but she said if I didn't come, she would..."

As Ye Chuchu spoke, she bit her lip, looking pitiful as if she had been coerced.

Xiao Jingchen laughed in anger, but the annoyance in his eyes was no less.

"Very good, as expected, someone who would do anything for money."

Xiao Jingchen stood up, not even glancing at Ye Chuchu standing to the side, and left the study.

Just as Lin Ran was starting to feel sleepy, the bedroom door was suddenly flung open, startling her awake.

"Xiao Jingchen? What brings you here?"

Xiao Jingchen met those slightly surprised eyes, paused for a moment, and then his face darkened again.

"Lin Ran, would you do anything for money?"

"You even exchange your own sister for money, is that right?"

"What money? What selling your sister?" Lin Ran looked at Xiao Jingchen blankly, unaware that her expression would only make him angrier.

"Are you still going to keep pretending? Wasn't it you who made Ye Chuchu come to my study dressed like that?"

A look of understanding flashed in Lin Ran's eyes. Ye Chuchu must not have given up and had done something else.

"I didn't tell her to go. I don't know anything about it."

"I don't know, Lin Ran. Do you think I'll believe you?"

Xiao Jingchen looked down at her, his eyes full of disdain.

"A woman like you is truly vicious, not even sparing her own family."

Lin Ran, with a stubborn streak that seemed to come from nowhere, mustered her courage and looked up at Xiao Jingchen.

"I told you, I didn't do any of these things. Maybe Ye Chuchu went to you on her own. What good would it do me to let her go?"

"Benefits? There are too many benefits, such as your favorite money."

Xiao Jingchen leaned down, grabbed Lin Ran's chin, and said, word by word.

"I said I didn't, and I just didn't!"

Lin Ran was also very stubborn and refused to admit it no matter what.

She didn't do it, so why should she admit to it?

A hint of impatience flashed in Xiao Jingchen's eyes, and he released his hand with some disdain.

"Lin Ran, there will be no next time."

Lin Ran wanted to argue, but Xiao Jingchen had already left the bedroom, leaving only his heartless back and endless darkness.

Just like her current situation.

In the study, Ye Chuchu stood to the side with her eyes lowered after hearing footsteps. She only spoke cautiously when she saw Xiao Jingchen enter.

"Your sister probably just likes you too much and is afraid of hurting you, that's why she did this. Don't be too angry."

When Xiao Jingchen heard her mention Lin Ran, a mocking smile appeared on his lips.

In the afternoon, the woman agreed without hesitation to his request for a divorce at any time.

They'd do something like that just for money.

The Ye family are indeed insatiable.

"You get out too, and don't come back in again."

Although Ye Chuchu felt regretful, she knew the current situation and obediently left the study.
