The Cunning CEO's Contract Wife

Chapter 381 This little girl called me grandpa

Xiao Jingchen originally didn't intend to pay attention to Ye Chuchu, but when he heard her bring up what happened that night, his expression changed immediately, and he remembered some things.

If he hadn't been deceived by Ye Chuchu and her daughter, how could he have missed out on Lin Ran, and how could the two of them have been separated for so many years?

All of this is because of the woman in front of me!

Ye Chuchu was unaware that Xiao Jingchen already knew the truth. Seeing him standing there in a daze, she assumed he had softened his heart and suddenly let out a cold laugh.

"Xiao Jingchen, haven't you always suspected who that person was that night? I will never tell you in this lifetime... cough cough cough, after I die, this secret will be buried forever, and you will never know who that woman is in this lifetime!"

After saying this, Ye Chuchu coughed violently a few times, then collapsed to the ground.

Seeing the fire growing larger, Xiao Jingchen's expression tightened. He hugged Lin Ran in his arms and rushed back to where they had come from.

The entire warehouse was filled with smoke, and even Xiao Jingchen couldn't tell where he was. He could only run in one direction based on his instincts.

"Ahem, Xiao Jingchen?"

Halfway there, Lin Ran woke up because of the shaking. The heat around her made it hard for her to open her eyes, but she could still tell who the man in front of her was.

Her hand trembled violently, but the next second Xiao Jingchen covered her mouth.

"Don't speak, cover yourself with your clothes."

Xiao Jingchen stared at the wall of fire in front of him, his eyes dark and menacing.

If they can break through, the two of them can be saved.

But this place was even more terrifying than when he came in; waves of fire shot straight toward the roof, and it seemed impossible to get past.

Just as Xiao Jingchen was about to use his body as a barrier to run past, Zhou Qing's faint voice suddenly came from the surroundings.

"Mr. Xiao, are you there?"

Xiao Jingchen's eyes lit up, and he coughed a few times, his voice extremely hoarse.

"I'm here."

The sound from the other side suddenly disappeared again. After a long while, a water gun forcefully opened a small path through the middle.

Although the fire was gone, the temperature inside did not drop at all.

However, this is already much better than the previous situation.

The roof beams overhead collapsed due to the fire and landed at their feet.

Xiao Jingchen knew he couldn't delay any longer. He glanced at the weak Lin Ran in his arms, wrapped his arms around her, and rushed out.

The water from the water gun turned into scalding hot water when it hit my body.

Xiao Jingchen gritted his teeth, trying to clear his muddled mind for a moment.

The two still managed to break through, but Xiao Jingchen collapsed to the ground, exhausted.

Lin Ran was also completely sobered up by this fall.

She gripped Xiao Jingchen's sleeve tightly, her voice weak.

"Niannian, Niannian has been thrown out by Ye Chuchu! She's in the back mountain! Go save her!"

After saying this, Lin Ran's head lolled to the side and she fainted.

Xiao Jingchen managed to say a few words before fainting.

On the path behind the mountain, an elderly man walked with faltering steps, stopping every now and then to look at the grass by the roadside, then shaking his head and sighing before continuing on his way.

"Waaah, Mommy..."

The faint crying coming from the bushes startled the old man. His upturned triangular eyes were full of impatience. He used his cane to push aside the bushes little by little and saw Nian Nian lying there, covered in dirt.

"Where did this little girl come from?"

The old man's eyes lit up, a hint of excitement flashing in them, but he quickly suppressed his joy and walked over with a straight face.

"Hey, little girl, whose child are you?"

As the old man asked, he leaned closer and discovered that Nian Nian had a fever, her whole body flushed red.

He was a doctor, and his expression changed immediately upon seeing this. He picked up Niannian from the ground and looked around.

"Which shameless bastard abandoned his child here?"

It was completely quiet all around; there wasn't a sound.

The old man reached out and touched Niannian's forehead, then solemnly took down the basket, intending to put Niannian inside.

Unexpectedly, the little guy suddenly grabbed his clothes and made a hoarse, gurgling sound.

"grandfather……"

The old man was stunned, and there seemed to be a very faint trace of emotion in his eyes.

He paused for a moment, then put the basket back on his back and struggled to carry Nian Nian home step by step.

Behind them was the burning warehouse.

The old man lived in a dilapidated brick house. Although it was run-down and run-down, it was clean enough.

Every year, it was placed on the only bed in the house.

"You little rascal, consider that 'Grandpa' you called me as payment for my medical expenses."

The old man muttered to himself, then turned and left, taking a box from a cabinet in the inner room.

The box contained acupuncture supplies; the slender needles gleamed coldly, and the old man picked them up.

His trembling hands suddenly became steady after he picked up the needle.

With one hand holding down little Niannian to prevent her from moving around, he used the other hand to insert the needle without hesitation.

In no time, more than a dozen needles appeared on Nian Nian's body.

Seeing that the time was almost up, the old man pulled out the needles one by one.

After doing all this, his forehead was covered in sweat.

Niannian seemed more comfortable on the bed, snuggling up and fast asleep.

The old man couldn't help but chuckle, picked up his pipe, and went outside, puffing away...

Meanwhile, the fire in the warehouse was finally extinguished.

Because Ye Chuchu had spread gasoline around the area, it caused a lot of trouble when putting out the fire.

By the time the fire was completely extinguished, Ye Chuchu, who remained in the warehouse, had been burned beyond recognition.

Zhou Qing handled these matters skillfully, and even though Ye Chuchu was already dead, she was still accused of murder.

At the same time, Xiao Yunsi, upon hearing the news, only paused slightly in his work before calmly resuming his tasks.

Although he is not the president now, Xiao Jingchen's unexplained absence has already caused resentment within the company.

Xiao Yunsi knew that this was the time for him to appear.

He was the successor personally chosen by the old man, so no matter how dissatisfied everyone was, they still had to listen to him.

In just a few days, the company's direction changed.

All the praise she had for Xiao Jingchen turned into complaints.

Some say he is cold and ruthless, others say he is cruel and ruthless; among these are many rumors deliberately spread by Xiao Yunsi.

The person they were talking about was currently lying in the hospital receiving treatment.

Having recklessly entered the fire, Xiao Jingchen was injured and remained unconscious for a whole day.
