EBE Chapter 355 You were cheated
Chapter 355 You were cheated
Xiao Jingchen was clearly more meticulous than Lin Ran. After receiving the medicine packet, he did not send someone to deliver it directly. Instead, he divided the package into four parts, had one part taken away, and hid the other three parts separately.
Lin Ran watched his movements obediently, her eyes sparkling.
Xiao Jingchen even felt as if he had suddenly returned to the sweetest days of the two of them a few years ago.
"Ranran, do you know you're tempting me?"
Normally, Lin Ran might have left shyly or scolded Xiao Jingchen, but this time was completely different.
Lin Ran actually raised her head and smiled at Xiao Jingchen, her eyes full of cunning.
"Of course I know."
Xiao Jingchen's breathing quickened. He took a deep breath and approached Lin Ran step by step, but was pushed away just as he was about to make a move.
Lin Ran laughed freely and pointed upstairs.
"I have to go take care of Niannian now, goodbye."
After saying that, she turned and left.
Xiao Jingchen stared at her back for a long time, his grievances turning into a sigh.
What else could he do? One was his wife, and the other was his beloved daughter. He could only endure it.
Meanwhile, the scene on the other side was completely different.
Ye Minghua took what he had obtained back with a smug look on his face and threw it in front of Wang Mei.
"Here you go. I already told you it's just a small matter, you don't need to worry at all."
"Minghua, thanks to you, otherwise that brat would have succeeded."
When Wang Mei saw that he had actually brought the things back, her expression immediately improved, and even her words carried a hint of ingratiation.
But when she touched the medicine packet, her expression suddenly changed.
"Minghua, did you snatch this from that brat? Are you really sure?"
Upon hearing Wang Mei's question, Ye Minghua's face immediately fell.
"What do you mean by that? Do you think I would need to lie to you about such useless things?"
Wang Mei didn't say anything. She opened the medicine packet with a sullen face, and her expression turned extremely ugly when she saw the tobacco leaves inside.
She realized something was wrong as soon as she touched it.
That packet of medicine had been in the lampshade for so long, how could the kraft paper still look brand new? Even without dust, the color should have darkened slightly.
Ye Minghua was scammed!
She took a deep breath, hid her slightly trembling hands under her sleeves, and looked at the pair of items on the table with an unreadable expression.
Ye Minghua was speechless.
He knew the smell of those tobacco leaves all too well; they were from the cigars he kept in his bedroom.
Recalling the taste of that thing, Ye Minghua's face showed a hint of nostalgia, but the next second it turned into a look of jealousy and hatred.
If it weren't for that brat Lin Ran, he wouldn't have ended up in this situation.
Wang Mei originally wanted to discuss with Ye Minghua what to do next, but when she saw him staring at the tobacco leaves on the table with a nostalgic expression, she couldn't control her temper and took a deep breath.
Ye Minghua finally came to his senses and realized that it was indeed his fault, but he still acted as if he didn't care.
"Minghua, why don't you go and beg Lin Ran again? Maybe she'll be in a better mood and let us go?"
Wang Mei's expression changed several times before finally settling into a calm one, as if she were genuinely considering Ye Minghua's well-being.
Without a doubt, Ye Minghua refused.
He had already lost face in front of Lin Ran once, how could he tolerate losing face a second time?
Seeing Wang Mei's helpless expression, Ye Minghua simply went back to his room, showing no intention of helping at all.
Although Wang Mei had already guessed what he was going to do, her heart still grew cold after it actually happened. As she watched Ye Minghua walk into the bedroom and close the door, a sarcastic smile appeared on her lips.
After confirming that there was no movement inside the house, Wang Mei quickly packed a few things and went downstairs.
She stood there waiting for a while, and then Ye Chuchu rushed over.
"Mom, what serious thing happened? Where's Dad?"
Upon hearing Ye Chuchu mention that heartless man, Wang Mei's face darkened, and she pulled her directly into the car.
"Don't ask so many questions, Chuchu. You have to believe that Mom would never hurt you."
After a pause, seemingly not wanting Ye Chuchu to be completely unaware, she revealed that Lin Ran had already obtained the evidence.
Ye Chuchu's expression changed upon hearing this.
She was well aware that if this matter were discovered, it would not be a minor incident like before.
Thinking that Lin Ran had forced her to go abroad, Ye Chuchu clenched her fists with jealousy and resentment, her eyes filled with unwillingness.
Ye Minghua, who was left behind, did not really give up. Instead, he took out his phone and kept contacting his old friends.
Although they cannot compare to the power of the Xiao family, they still hold some influence in the capital. Hiding him shouldn't be too difficult.
He thought it was easy, but he didn't realize that under Xiao Jingchen's arrangement, not to mention his cronies, even his real friends wouldn't lend a hand at this time.
Ye Minghua asked each question one by one, and finally, with a stiff expression, he slammed his phone to the ground.
Realizing that there had been no sound outside for a long time, he hesitated for a moment, then pushed open the door and went out.
The living room was completely empty; there wasn't a soul in sight, not even a ghost.
Ye Minghua suddenly understood something, his expression changed, and he abruptly yanked open the door.
Outside the door, Zhou Qing wore a polite smile, but when she saw Ye Minghua come out on his own, a hint of surprise flashed across her face.
"Mr. Ye, our General Manager Xiao would like to invite you over for tea."
Even though the Ye family is now bankrupt, Zhou Qing's tone remained very respectful.
To Ye Minghua, this tone sounded sarcastic.
"I'm not going over there, make way, I'm leaving."
Ye Minghua broke out in a cold sweat and turned to walk in another direction, but the exit was blocked by the people behind Zhou Qing.
He didn't even have time to struggle before he was led into the car.
Meanwhile, Wang Mei and Ye Chuchu finally arrived at the airport and were about to go through the ticket check when they were blocked in the road by several people.
"Mrs. Ye, Miss Ye, would you mind making this trip?"
The man at the head of the group looked somewhat familiar to Ye Chuchu, and it took her a while to realize that he was one of Xiao Jingchen's men.
She panicked, exchanged a glance with Wang Mei, and the two ran off in different directions.
Unfortunately, despite their well-thought-out plan, they were met with professionally trained bodyguards. They were caught after only a few steps and thrown into a car parked at the entrance.
"Help!"
Ye Chuchu shouted loudly at the crowd, but the next second, the man actually took out his ID and slowly spoke in her despairing gaze.
"Sorry, we're catching criminals."
