The Cunning CEO's Contract Wife

Chapter 262 I Want to Go to the Company Too

Ye Chuchu couldn't help but blush as she listened to the voice coming from her phone.

“Brother Jingchen, I heard that the land in the north of the city is now in the hands of the Xiao family, and my father wants to…”

Ye Chuchu only said half of what she wanted to say, and her tone even carried a hint of embarrassment.

"I know this is a bit much, but Dad told me I had to talk to you about it."

With a single, casual remark, Lin Ran completely absolved herself of any responsibility for the matter.

It doesn't matter who brought this up.

There seemed to be a long silence on the other end. Just when Ye Chuchu thought that this was impossible, Xiao Jingchen's voice suddenly came over.

"Okay, I'll arrange it."

Xiao Jingchen gritted his teeth and said, but Ye Chuchu was so excited that she didn't notice anything amiss.

"Thank you, Brother Jingchen. I'll tell Dad now."

"Ah."

Xiao Jingchen stared at his phone casually, a hint of sarcasm in his eyes.

After hanging up the phone, his expression softened again as he looked at the photos on his phone.

He gently stroked the screen, his tone tender and affectionate.

"Wait a little longer, wait a little longer..."

At the Ye family villa, Ye Minghua and Wang Mei sat nervously on the sofa. When they saw Ye Chuchu coming downstairs with her phone in her hand, their hearts jumped.

"How about it?"

Ye Minghua was an impatient person. Seeing that Ye Chuchu was not speaking, he couldn't help but ask her.

You should know that the land is going to be developed into a high-end villa area. Even a regular residential area would be enough to make a fortune, let alone high-end villas.

As long as they acquire this land, they won't be too embarrassed, let alone become a large company, or even if they go up against the Xiao family.

This is why Ye Chuchu was willing to say those words.

Seeing that Ye Chuchu refused to speak, Ye Minghua's hope instantly vanished.

He didn't say anything, but just sighed and sat down.

A hint of joy flashed in Wang Mei's eyes, and she eagerly pulled Ye Chuchu's arm to make her sit down.

"How did it go, Chu Chu? Did Xiao Jingchen agree?"

Just as Ye Minghua was about to say something sarcastic, he saw Ye Chuchu nod with a smug look on her face.

His mind went blank for a moment.

"W-what did you say?"

"Mr. Xiao agreed?"

Seeing Ye Minghua's excited expression, a flash of disgust crossed Ye Chuchu's eyes, but she still nodded.

Ye Minghua's hands trembled with excitement, and he looked at Ye Chuchu with a hint of fanaticism.

"My dear Chuchu, my good daughter, hahaha—"

"Let's see who dares to look down on the Ye family's company this time."

Seeing his expression, Ye Chuchu frowned and nudged Wang Mei, who remained unresponsive, as if to give a hint.

The mother and daughter exchanged a glance and immediately understood each other's meaning.

"Minghua, there's something I'd like to discuss with you."

"what?"

Immersed in joy, Ye Minghua didn't notice anything amiss, assuming that Wang Mei, like before, wanted to ask him for some money to buy jewelry and bags.

"I also want to work for a company. How about you arrange a position for me?"

When it came to the company, Ye Minghua immediately dropped his nonchalant demeanor. He glanced at Wang Mei, his tone revealing undisguised disdain.

"You? You want to go to the company? What could you possibly do there?"

"Wouldn't it be better to stay at home and be a wealthy housewife?"

Perhaps he was too excited and forgot that his smooth journey was all thanks to the relationship between Ye Chuchu and Xiao Jingchen.

Sure enough, after he finished speaking, a look of disbelief flashed in Wang Mei's eyes.

Although neither she nor Ye Minghua were good people, they had shared a bed for so many years, and yet this was how this man perceived her.

Wang Mei clenched her fists tightly to keep from exploding. She smiled gently at Ye Minghua, her tone tinged with helplessness.

"Actually, I didn't want to go to the company either, but as you know, Chu Chu and Xiao Jingchen are engaged."

"If others knew that I, as Chuchu's mother, only indulged in pleasure at home, it would be hard to look good."

"Everything I did was so that Chu Chu could be with Xiao Jingchen in a better way."

Wang Mei was very good at reading people's expressions, and she knew what to say to get Ye Minghua to give in, so her tone became even softer.

"Look, if I go to the company, not only will Chuchu have face, but you'll also have face, right?"

As Wang Mei spoke, she sat down next to Ye Minghua, and her soft, boneless hands slowly massaged his shoulders.

Ye Minghua's eyes indeed turned strange. He glanced at Wang Mei hurriedly and pulled her upstairs.

Ye Chuchu looked at this scene without the slightest embarrassment; instead, she revealed a calm smile.

She knew that Wang Mei's entry into the company was basically a done deal.

Ye Chuchu proudly tossed her hair, picked up the latest handbag, and went to find her girlfriends.

As for work? She's already made an appointment with Xiao Jingchen, so there's no need for her to go to that boring place every day anymore.

While Ye Chuchu was indulging in a life of extravagance and enjoyment, Lin Ran from Country F was holding Sui Sui, whose fever was rising again, and was at a loss.

Even though the doctor had already given the medication and the child was clearly better, the fever returned in the middle of the night.

Lin Ran watched as little Sui Sui had tube after tube of blood drawn from her, and she was so heartbroken that she couldn't speak.

But she could only grit her teeth and endure it, watching the doctor treat her.

"Okay, the fever will break soon."

"Press the blood drawing site a little longer, and let me know immediately if anything happens."

After tossing and turning for half the night, Lin Ran held Sui Sui in her arms until his body temperature gradually dropped before she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Lin Ran felt heartbroken seeing the large bruises on Lin Ran's arm, which was as white as a lotus root, from the blood draw. However, she had no way to fix it.

Despite being utterly exhausted, Lin Ran didn't even dare to close her eyes.

As soon as she relaxes even a little, Sui Sui's miserable appearance will appear in her dreams.

She watched as Sui Sui silently went onto the operating table, only to come down as a cold corpse.

Lin Ran could only hold Sui Sui, who was still warm and breathing, tightly; only in this way could she calm her panicked heart.

Fortunately, except for that one time in the middle of the night, Sui Sui slept soundly the whole time, and even woke up in the middle of the night to drink half a bottle of milk.

The old man was startled when he brought breakfast to the ward.

Lin Ran, who was fine last night, is now in a sorry state, her hair looks like a bird's nest, and her eyes are bloodshot.

"Ranran, give Suisui to me, you go and rest for a while."

The old man took the child without question and only breathed a sigh of relief after seeing Lin Ran lie down to rest.
