The Cunning CEO's Contract Wife

Chapter 359 I Can't Be Soft-Hearted

Ye Chuchu looked at the place where she had lived since childhood from afar, her pupils churning with pain and hatred.

"Miss Ye, I think you're willing to talk to me now, right?"

The voice in my ear was soft and gentle, with a hint of teasing.

Ye Chuchu looked up and a hint of panic flashed in her eyes when she saw Xiao Yunsi standing to the side.

She didn't want anyone to see her in this disheveled state.

"What are you doing here? Do you want to see me make a fool of myself too?"

Ye Chuchu forced herself to stand up, maintaining her last shred of pride, and looked up at people as usual.

"Miss Ye, you're too kind. I've come here to tell you some good news."

There was no mockery in Xiao Yunsi's eyes, and his tone was very sincere.

"What good thing?"

"Do you remember the collaboration I mentioned last time?"

Ye Chuchu was stunned for a moment, and suddenly remembered what Xiao Yunsi had said before.

She refused without hesitation back then, but now...

"What do you need me to do?"

After a long pause, she asked in a slightly trembling voice, a glimmer of hope appearing in her eyes.

"It's very simple. As long as you listen to me, I guarantee you will get everything you want."

The two talked for a few minutes, and then Ye Chuchu followed Xiao Yunsi into the car and left the Ye family villa.

Meanwhile, in the prison, Ye Minghua humbly pleaded with the prison guard, even taking off his watch and stuffing it into the guard's hand.

"Please, I just want to make a phone call, just for a minute, is that okay?"

The prison guard had originally intended to refuse, but when he saw the shiny watch, a hint of hesitation flashed in his eyes.

He looked around to make sure no one was coming, then took the items and handed over his phone.

"Here you go, just one minute, hurry up."

"If the higher-ups find out, you're finished."

Ye Minghua nodded repeatedly and hurriedly dialed the number he knew by heart.

So many years have passed, I don't even know if that person's phone number is still the same.

beep-

A long busy tone came from the receiver, and just when Ye Minghua thought there was no hope, a familiar voice finally came from the other end of the phone.

She was as gentle as before, but still somewhat weak.

"Who?"

Ye Minghua swallowed hard, and after a long while, he finally spoke reluctantly.

"Xiao Qing, it's me, Ye Minghua. I... I have something to ask you. Could you come over?"

On the other end of the phone, Lin Qing's smile froze instantly. She seemed somewhat incredulous. She picked up her phone again and glanced at it. After a long while, she cautiously spoke.

"Ye Minghua? Aren't you in prison? Why are you calling me?"

Hearing that Lin Qing's voice was relatively stable, Ye Minghua secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Lin Qing was still the same little girl she used to be. As long as he lowered his stance and coaxed her a little, that person would shamelessly come up to him.

After hanging up the phone, Ye Minghua's panic disappeared, and he handed over his phone with a smug look.

As long as Lin Qing is willing to help him, it doesn't matter even if Lin Ran and Xiao Jingchen disagree.

This is something that can be resolved with a letter of understanding.

On the other side, after hanging up the phone, Lin Qing sat there hesitating for a long time, her eyes full of struggle.

If she could, she hoped she would never see Ye Minghua again, but this phone call undoubtedly stirred up waves in her heart, making it impossible for her to remain calm as before.

After a long while, Lin Qing tidied herself up briefly, picked up her things, and left the villa.

On the second floor, Lin Ran and Xiao Jingchen stood by the window watching the figure gradually walk away, their hands clenching uncontrollably.

"If you're worried, I can send someone along."

Seeing Lin Ran's worried expression, Xiao Jingchen was about to arrange for someone to go with him, but Lin Ran stopped him.

"No, let her handle this herself."

Lin Ran pursed her lips, took a deep breath, and made a decision.

The grudges of the previous generation should be settled by them.

Although Lin Qing's health had recovered considerably, this was the first time she had gone so far alone. As soon as she arrived at the police station, Lin Qing wiped the cold sweat from her forehead, took a deep breath, and went inside.

Xiao Jingchen knew she was coming and had already given prior notice, so Lin Qing was not stopped and went directly to see Ye Minghua.

The man, still wearing handcuffs and leg irons, scrambled over to Lin Qing upon seeing her and grabbed her trouser leg.

"Xiao Qing, I knew you wouldn't forget me."

"Xiaoqing, Wang Mei was the one who poisoned you. It has nothing to do with me. If I had known she would poison you, I definitely wouldn't have helped her!"

Lin Qing watched Ye Minghua's wailing expressionlessly, and her somewhat agitated heart finally calmed down.

"Ye Minghua, are you telling the truth?"

"Of course it's true. We grew up together, and the bond between us is so deep. How could I possibly do something like that?"

Ye Minghua cried uncontrollably, as if those things really had nothing to do with him.

Even Lin Qing's face showed a hint of emotion, as if she had already believed these words.

"Ye Minghua, how did you treat Ranran after I got sick?"

"You know, this daughter is the one I care about most."

Something struck a nerve with Ye Minghua; he took a deep breath, and a hint of panic appeared on his face.

"Xiaoqing, you know I've always been good to Ranran. She just misunderstood me. Everything I said is true."

Lin Qing didn't speak, staring at Ye Minghua for a long time, then suddenly laughed, laughing louder and louder until tears welled up in the corners of her eyes.

"Ye Minghua, how could I possibly fall for someone like you?"

"How could someone as heartless as you possibly like someone else?"

Lin Qing suddenly stood up. Because she was dizzy, she held onto the stool for a long time before she felt a little better.

"Ye Minghua, do you think that if I see you again, I will soften my heart and let you leave this place?"

"Too bad, you guessed wrong this time. I can't do anything foolish again, I can't make the same mistake again."

Lin Qing spoke each word carefully, watching Ye Minghua being swallowed by despair, a hint of pleasure flashing in her eyes, before turning and leaving without a second thought.

Behind him, Ye Minghua was still pleading desperately. His clothes were disheveled and his hair was dirty, making him look utterly wretched. He was no longer the bright and cheerful man he remembered.

Lin Qing came out of the police station, the sunlight shining on her, warm and comforting.

All the suffering she had endured in the first half of her life seemed to have come to an end at this moment, and she, Lin Qing, was now living a new life.

In the sunlight, the woman smiled, and just as she was about to leave, she was called back and led to a small park nearby.
