EBE Chapter 203 Who are you?
Chapter 203 Who are you?
Lin Ran and Lü Ying walked for a short distance before arriving at a residential area.
She looked up and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.
Lvying seemed to have guessed what she was thinking and explained with a smile.
"This place looks a bit run-down, but it's still a place I rented where I can rest. You won't mind, will you?"
Lin Ran smiled somewhat embarrassedly.
"No, I just felt that something was familiar, that's all."
"Thank you for letting me come and rest."
Although Lin Ran was exhausted and worried about Xiao Jingchen, she did not forget to thank him.
Luying's room was on the third floor. Although it was small, it was clean and tidy, and looked very cozy.
It was Lin Ran's first time visiting someone else's home, so she was inevitably a little reserved. Fortunately, Lü Ying was an easygoing person and would occasionally joke with her, and the two quickly became familiar with each other.
"Okay, okay, I only have instant noodles left at home. You can eat and then go rest. I have to go to school."
“Um, then I…”
Upon hearing this, Lin Ran instinctively tried to leave as well.
As a guest, how could she stay in the house after the host had left?
But Luying pushed her back down, pretending to be angry.
"Okay, okay, if you keep doing this I'll really get angry. Anyway, there's nothing in my room. Just remember to close the door properly when you leave."
After saying this, Lüying left without lingering, carrying her schoolbag.
Looking at the steaming instant noodles in front of her, Lin Ran felt a pang of sadness, and tears welled up in her eyes again.
She wondered how Xiao Jingchen was doing now. She needed to rest well and find him as soon as possible.
After leaving the residential area, Lv Ying did go to S University, but after entering the campus, she went to the restroom and came out looking completely different.
Her expression was indifferent as she turned and left the school through another side door.
They changed clothes many times along the way before finally arriving at the villa's basement.
Xiao Jingchen sat in the middle of the room, his eyes still fixed on Lin Ran's back on the screen.
"Boss, it seems that Xiao Yunsi hasn't made any moves."
"Furthermore, no one accompanied the lady; she seemed to have come alone."
When Lü Ying spoke of Lin Ran, her tone seemed somewhat hesitant.
"Boss, she doesn't look well, should we..."
Before he could finish speaking, Xiao Jingchen shot him a glare.
Greenie knew she had said the wrong thing, so she pursed her lips and stood aside.
Xiao Jingchen glanced at the screen again, a resolute glint in his eyes.
He didn't know what other tricks Xiao Yunsi was hiding, and he was keeping these things from Lin Ran to protect her.
If Xiao Yunsi were to make a move, he might not be able to protect Lin Ran.
"Get ready. Since Xiao Yunsi isn't going to make a move, we should give him a gift in return."
After a long pause, Xiao Jingchen spoke, and the basement lights flickered as if in agreement with him.
"No, Mr. Xiao, I haven't fully recovered yet. What will I do if you go back?"
Zhou Qing struggled to get out of bed, her voice shrill, as if she had been abandoned.
The people in the room all showed expressions of disgust, and even Xiao Jingchen was amused by his appearance and shook his head with a smile.
On the other side, Lin Ran rested in the room for a while before leaving, leaving some money on the table before she left.
She opened her phone, looked at the map, and headed towards a hospital she had never been to before.
She longed for a miracle, hoping to see Xiao Jingchen at the next hospital, even if he was injured.
But fate seemed determined to work against her. She searched every hospital in the entire S city, but still found no clues.
"Xiao Jingchen, where have you been...?"
Lin Ran's last line of defense collapsed completely. She returned home in a daze and didn't even go to the Xiao family again.
Of course, no one at the Xiao family would notice that she wasn't at the company now.
President Xiao's position was firmly occupied by Xiao Yunsi, who was busy consolidating his power and had no time to care about Lin Ran's movements.
"Mr. Xiao, Aina from the US will be coming tomorrow to discuss a contract. Please make your preparations."
"This is a very important contract for the Xiao family, so please make sure you are well prepared."
Song Nuan was very dissatisfied with Xiao Yunsi, but as a lowly employee, she had no right to say anything and could only do her best to support him.
But her words were extremely grating to Xiao Yunsi's ears.
He revealed a wicked smile without restraint, his eyes deep and unfathomable.
"Secretary Song, what do you mean by this?"
"Are you saying that I'm not capable enough to support the Xiao family?"
Song Nuan originally planned to leave directly, but upon hearing Xiao Yunsi's words, she turned her head with a puzzled expression.
After confirming that he wasn't joking, she sighed deeply.
"Mr. Xiao, that's not what I meant."
"Since that's not what you meant, then say less of that kind of thing in the future. I don't like hearing it."
Xiao Yunsi spoke arrogantly, but he didn't notice Song Nuan's increasingly worse complexion.
"Since Mr. Xiao thinks so, then I have nothing more to say."
Song Nuan said coldly, unwilling to explain anything further, and turned to leave.
A flash of jealousy crossed Xiao Yunsi's eyes, and he suddenly smashed the teacup on the table to the ground.
This Song Nuan has been causing trouble ever since he took this position.
Isn't this just looking down on him?
Fine, then he'll prove it: he, Xiao Yunsi, is no less capable than Xiao Jingchen!
The next morning, Xiao's building looked different from usual, with many more decorations.
Xiao Yunsi stood downstairs to wait and welcome Aina's arrival.
Aina is the most famous jewelry company in the United States. The company name is Karina.
Since Xiao Jingchen took over the Xiao family business, he has started cooperating with Aina.
Twenty percent of Xiao's annual revenue comes from that partnership.
Although Xiao Yunsi did not like Xiao Jingchen, he had to admit that this cooperation could not be lost.
Lost in thought, several cars stopped in front of the Xiao family's house.
Xiao Yunsi's expression hardened, and he took a few steps forward with a faint smile on his face.
At the very front was a bright red sports car. The door opened, and a woman in a long red dress stepped out.
Xiao Yunsi's eyes lit up, and he quickly went to meet him.
"Hello, Aina, welcome to the Xiao family."
Aina reached out and smoothed the hair behind her ear. Her sky-blue eyes looked at Xiao Yunsi, paused for a few seconds, and asked in a puzzled tone.
"Who are you? Where is Xiao?"
This blunt question made Xiao Yunsi stiffen, and a hint of murderous intent flashed across his eyes, but his smile grew even brighter.
