The Cunning CEO's Contract Wife

Chapter 308 I Won't Just Give Up on My Fate

Even if she is very capable at work, it doesn't mean that FG headquarters will do everything in its power to protect her.

"Ha, I can't possibly fire Lin Ran. She didn't do those things at all."

Fu Sinian hung up the phone with a fierce expression, but when he turned around and saw Lin Ran, his expression softened slightly.

"Don't worry, I won't fire you."

"Fu Ssu-nien, I will not be coming to the company for a while."

Lin Ran said this in a calm tone, as if she wasn't the one being scolded.

"Damn it, Lin Ran, you don't need to resign because of her at all. What she said is all lies. The truth will always come to light."

Compared to Fu Sinian's excitement, Lin Ran raised her head with some confusion, looking at him blankly.

"Huh? I didn't say I wanted to resign."

"Then what you just said..."

He paused halfway through his sentence, then carefully considered what Lin Ran had just said, and realized that she hadn't actually mentioned resigning.

Lin Ran slightly curled her lips, but her face was cold.

“I won’t just give up like this. Since Li Yinyin dares to openly oppose me, I don’t believe she has no one backing her up.”

"If they want to make a move against me, they should think twice before they do. I'm not someone they can easily bully."

"As for going home, I'll rest for a few days and go fishing while I'm at it."

Lin Ran shrugged, her face showing no sign of anything amiss, but her eyes were cold.

Fu Sinian originally wanted to say that he would help her resolve this matter, but after glancing at Lin Ran's current expression, he hesitated for a moment and swallowed those words.

"Okay, if you need any help from us, just let us know."

"Okay, don't worry, I'll be going now."

Lin Ran packed a few things and left the company, but the matter was much more serious than she had imagined. As she walked down the street, she was constantly met with mocking glances.

She could only cover half her face with her collar and hurriedly returned home.

Given the current situation, I'm afraid she won't even be able to go pick her up every year.

It's fine for her to be treated like this, but if it extends to Nian Nian as well...

Lin Ran felt extremely upset just thinking about this matter. After hesitating for a long time, she took out her phone and scrolled through it for a while.

Her finger hovered over Xiao Jingchen's name for a long time before she was about to send a message when the phone rang.

It was Xiao Jingchen calling.

For some reason, Lin Ran secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"I'll help you with that online issue. Don't go out for now."

As soon as the call connected, Xiao Jingchen spoke with a hint of worry, his urgent voice filled with unexpected concern.

Lin Ran paused for a moment before speaking.

"No need, I'll handle this myself."

Inside Xiao's office, his eyes darkened, and he tapped his index finger nervously on the table a few times before finally answering.

"Then I'll help you deal with those people online, don't refuse."

"Also, I'm going to pick up Niannian later, so don't go out."

This time, Xiao Jingchen hung up the phone before Lin Ran could answer.

Lin Ran looked at her phone, a hint of helplessness in her expression.

She hesitated for a moment, then typed a message and sent it to Xiao Jingchen.

Xiao's PR team is quite good. Since there's something free to use, wouldn't it be foolish for her to look for something else?

She checked the time; there was still some time before school ended every year, enough time for her to handle those matters.

An hour later, Lin Ran responded with a video posted on her personal account.

However, her response was not to what Li Yinyin had said, but rather to the outrageous comments circulating online.

Those comments that were originally just for fun received court summonses at the same time.

Lin Ran sued them all!

At first, they thought Lin Ran was joking, but after receiving the calls one by one, they realized that things were not so simple.

Within just a few hours, the abusive comments online had completely disappeared.

Of course, this does not mean that Lin Ran has been cleared of suspicion; it just means that those people can't afford to offend her, so they can only secretly curse her offline.

Having just finished dealing with these matters, the door lock was turned, and Xiao Jingchen led Lin Niannian in.

"Mommy, Mommy, you're really home!"

The little guy's eyes lit up when he saw Lin Ran, and he let go of Xiao Jingchen's hand and ran over in a flash.

"Mommy, Mommy, Uncle said you'd make me eggs today, right?"

Lin Ran was taken aback. She looked up and met Xiao Jingchen's helpless gaze, and immediately understood everything.

She reached out and ruffled Niannian's hair, then softly responded.

Xiao Jingchen was a little envious of the scene before him, but thinking of his own plan, he obediently put Niannian's schoolbag aside.

"I've delivered the person, I'll be leaving now."

After saying this, Xiao Jingchen moved away in small steps.

"Thank you for today. Please stay for dinner."

Lin Ran hesitated for a moment, but still asked the person to stay.

She regretted it as soon as she said it, especially when she saw Xiao Jingchen turn around without even touching the doorknob. He said he was sorry, but his movements were very smooth as he sat down on the sofa.

Lin Ran immediately understood that he was doing it on purpose.

But the words had already been spoken, and she couldn't take them back. She could only sigh and resign herself to going to the kitchen.

With limited food in the refrigerator, Lin Ran could only cook a few simple dishes.

When she brought out the dishes, she saw Xiao Jingchen patiently helping Nian Nian build blocks.

Under the warm yellow light, his sharp features softened slightly, revealing a hint of tenderness.

Lin Ran stared at them for a long time before speaking, her voice hoarse.

"time to eat."

She hurriedly put down the vegetables in her hands, turned around and went back to the kitchen.

Behind the door, a thin mist rose in Lin Ran's eyes. After a while, she wiped away her tears with her hand and brought the steamed egg that Nian Nian had asked for every year to the living room.

Everything seemed as if nothing had happened, but only Lin Ran herself knew the truth.

Her sealed heart is being pried open little by little.

After dinner, Xiao Jingchen helped Lin Ran tidy up, took one last reluctant look, and then left.

"Don't go out tomorrow morning, I'll come and deliver Niannian's things."

Lin Ran wanted to say that it wasn't necessary to go to so much trouble, but Xiao Jingchen had already left without giving her a chance to refuse. She opened her mouth, but all her words turned into a sigh.

Lin Niannian rubbed her eyes, which were already hard to open, and then slumped against Lin Ran, acting all coquettish.

"Mommy, Mommy."

"This uncle is very nice to me, I like him very much."

"If only...he were my dad."

Lin Ran's heart skipped a beat, and when she looked down, Niannian was already asleep.

She carefully carried the child back to the bedroom, gently stroked her head, and murmured, "What if... he is Dad?"
