The Cunning CEO's Contract Wife

Chapter 248 The Price of Provoking Me

Xiao Jingchen acted as if he hadn't seen anything and got into the car with Ye Chuchu.

It was the weekend, and the market was packed with people. The arrival of the two people undoubtedly caused quite a stir.

Despite the envious glances from others, Ye Chuchu became much bolder in her actions.

"Brother Jingchen, let's go upstairs, there are too many people here."

Her face was flustered, and she tightly gripped Xiao Jingchen's sleeve.

Seeing his neat clothes now wrinkled from being pulled, a barely perceptible hint of annoyance flashed in Xiao Jingchen's eyes.

"Let's go."

The two went upstairs, and Xiao Jingchen subtly withdrew his hand.

Fortunately, Ye Chuchu didn't realize that her eyes were already captivated by the new handbags.

Despite her excitement, she still remembered that she should pretend to be serious. Even though her eyes were glued to the bags, she still shook her head when Xiao Jingchen asked her.

"want to?"

"No need, Brother Jingchen, I'm not interested in these things."

"I called you out just so I could spend more time with you."

"is it?"

Xiao Jingchen chuckled softly, a hint of amusement in his eyes.

The details of their trip together swept through all the news like a sandstorm.

Some people even discovered that Xiao Jingchen had canceled a meeting specifically to accompany Ye Chuchu.

One group of people are envious, while another group just feels annoyed.

"There's no time when we can't go shopping! Do you know how long we prepared for that meeting? One sentence from her and all our efforts were wasted!"

This message was sent by an employee of a certain company.

As soon as these words were spoken, they were immediately met with resistance from a group of mindless people.

"What does that have to do with Ye Chuchu? If you want to blame someone, blame President Xiao."

"Exactly, exactly. I think you're just jealous."

The presence of a point of contention further boosted the news's popularity.

Back in his office, Xiao Jingchen looked at the messages with a cold expression, his true thoughts unreadable.

"Mr. Xiao, should I take care of it?"

Zhou Qing stood to the side and asked cautiously.

"Need not."

Xiao Jingchen sneered, paused, and then tapped the comment in a flat voice.

"Go and investigate who this person is, and then... fire them."

Zhou Qing paused in her nodding motion, her gaze towards Xiao Jingchen filled with a hint of confusion.

"Mr. Xiao, she's just..."

"Zhou Qing, carry out the order."

A slightly annoyed voice sounded in her ear. Zhou Qing pursed her lips, responded softly, and turned to leave.

The office fell silent, leaving only Xiao Jingchen alone.

He sighed, took out his phone and stared at it for a long time, his face as dark as ink.

After a long while, he placed the phone against his chest, as if to feel its warmth.

Meanwhile, at the Ye family home, Ye Chuchu went upstairs with a furious expression.

Although she said she didn't want them, it was really too much for Xiao Jingchen not to buy her a single one!

Seeing how angry she was, Wang Mei was about to ask her something when a strange voice suddenly came from the doorway.

"Excuse me, is this Ms. Ye Chuchu's home? We're here to deliver something as instructed by Mr. Xiao."

Ye Chuchu paused for a moment, as if she remembered something, then quickly composed herself and walked out.

"I am Ye Chuchu. What did you all send me?"

The man bent down slightly, clapped his hands towards the door, and soon a shelf full of bags was carried in.

"These were all sent over by Mr. Xiao. Miss Ye, where would you like to put them?"

Ye Chuchu was stunned for a few seconds before she reacted, her face beaming with an undisguised smile.

"It's fine to put it in the living room."

Ye Chuchu raised her chin demurely and sat down on the sofa as if she didn't care, but her gaze could no longer see anywhere else.

It took the group more than ten minutes to move all those things.

Once everyone had come out, Ye Chuchu excitedly went over to touch this and look at that, unable to stop smiling.

"Chuchu, it seems that President Xiao really cares about you this time, he actually bought you so much."

Hearing her say that, Ye Chuchu lowered her head shyly, looking embarrassed.

"Mom, please don't say that."

"You can say that when I marry Brother Jingchen."

"However, thanks to Xiao Yunsi, if he hadn't killed that little bitch Lin Ran, I might have gone down many more wrong paths."

Ye Chuchu looked at all the bags for a long time before picking out the latest model and carrying it on her back.

"Mom, I'm going out."

Looking at herself in the mirror, Ye Chuchu nodded in satisfaction, then turned and left.

Having acquired so many new bags, how could she not go out and show them off?

Just as Ye Chuchu stepped out of her house, a woman blocked her way.

"Miss Ye, I know I was wrong, I really know I was wrong. Could you please plead with me and not let Mr. Xiao fire me?"

Ye Chuchu frowned, looking at her skirt that had been dirtied, and her face immediately turned cold.

"I don't understand what you're saying, get out of here."

"Do you know how expensive my clothes are? How dare you put your dirty hands on them?"

"Miss Ye, please let me compensate you. Please ask Mr. Xiao to let me go. My whole family depends on my salary to support us. I really can't lose this job."

The woman cried her heart out, and a crowd quickly gathered around her, but she still stood in front of Ye Chuchu.

"What exactly happened? How can I plead for you if you don't tell me?"

As more and more people gathered around, Ye Chuchu's red lips curled up slightly, revealing a smile.

"Hey, why are you crying? I didn't say I wouldn't help you, but at least you should tell me why."

Hearing Ye Chuchu say this, a glimmer of hope rekindled in the woman's eyes, and she told her everything that had happened.

"Miss Ye, I know I was wrong. Please plead for me. I really can't lose this job."

Ye Chuchu lowered her eyes to hide the hatred in them, but her face was gentle as she took out a tissue and wiped away her tears.

"Alright, I'll plead for you."

Seeing the joy in the woman's eyes, Ye Chuchu suddenly smiled, leaned closer, and said the next sentence in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

"Don't worry, not only Xiao's Group, but other companies won't hire you in the future. This is the price you pay for messing with me."

"Learn from this experience."

The woman was completely stunned. She looked at the person in front of her, unable to believe that she would say those words with such gentleness. By the time she came to her senses, Ye Chuchu had already disappeared.
