The Cunning CEO's Contract Wife

Chapter 150 Finally woke up

Outside the ward, Xiao Jingchen listened to Zhou Qing's report with a frown. After a while, a mocking smile appeared on his lips.

"Okay, I'll go there now."

After hanging up the phone, Xiao Jingchen glanced at the ward and left after confirming that Lin Ran had not yet woken up.

Not long after, Xiao Jingchen reappeared in the basement. Jiang Rao, who had been acting crazy, seemed to have suddenly come to her senses and stared at Xiao Jingchen with a crazy longing in her eyes.

"Brother Jingchen, you've finally come to see me."

"I knew it, you still like me, don't you? How could you possibly like that bitch Lin Ran?"

Jiang Rao spoke frantically, unaware of Xiao Jingchen's increasingly sinister gaze.

"Jiang Rao, who exactly ordered you to attack Lin Ran?"

Seeing that she had calmed down, Xiao Jingchen slowly asked her a question.

"Nobody, it's just that I hate her. She stole my things!"

Jiang Rao was stunned for a moment, then roared at Xiao Jingchen, looking like a madwoman.

"It's okay if you don't tell me, I'll find out myself."

Feeling the phone vibrate, Xiao Jingchen completely lost his patience. He turned and left, giving Zhou Qing a wink.

The latter nodded in understanding.

Jiang Rao was blindfolded and plunged into complete darkness, which completely panicked her.

"What are you trying to do? My grandfather is Jiang Jun, a shareholder of the Xiao Group! What right do you have to treat me like this?"

Zhou Qing couldn't help but laugh upon hearing this.

"Shareholders, unfortunately, that was in the past."

After saying this, he didn't give Jiang Rao a chance to speak again, and took out a rag and stuffed it into her mouth.

The basement fell silent, with only the sound of a few people walking around.

With her eyes and mouth covered, Jiang Rao tensed up immediately. She was pushed into a small box and curled up inside.

Even more frightening, the box door was closed.

Jiang Rao's eyes widened behind the black cloth, and she struggled desperately with her limbs, but the space inside the box gave her no room to struggle. She could only listen to the footsteps getting farther and farther away.

Darkness and silence tormented Jiang Rao constantly.

Meanwhile, after receiving the call, Xiao Jingchen's eyes flashed with joy, and he drove at breakneck speed to the hospital.

Inside the ward, Lin Ran had woken up. She stared blankly at the busy nurses and doctors beside her, her eyes full of confusion.

Wasn't she pushed off a cliff by Jiang Rao?

Does that mean there are hospitals in heaven?

Lin Ran frowned as she pondered, but then a sharp pain shot through her head.

"Madam Xiao, you don't need to get so agitated. It's not good to overuse your brain after just waking up."

Madam Xiao?

Yes, she is Xiao Jingchen's wife.

Wait, Xiao Jingchen!

Lin Ran recalled the figure that had rushed towards her like a madman, and her face was filled with panic.

"Where is Xiao Jingchen? How is he? Hasn't he woken up yet?"

Having not spoken for so long, Lin Ran's voice was incredibly hoarse and filled with worry.

The nurse was startled and was about to explain when the ward door was suddenly flung open.

Slightly out of breath, Xiao Jingchen walked in and a hint of joy flashed in his eyes when he saw Lin Ran sitting there perfectly fine.

"Xiao Jingchen!"

Lin Ran was stunned, blinked, and tears immediately fell. After watching Xiao Jingchen walk over, she hugged him tightly.

"Waaah, I thought I'd never see you again."

Wet tears stained his bespoke suit, but Xiao Jingchen didn't find it unbearable. The doctors and nurses in the room left very consciously and even thoughtfully closed the door for them.

"Alright, everything's fine now, isn't it?"

Lin Ran did not answer, but continued to hold Xiao Jingchen, burying her head deeply in his chest.

At first she was genuinely upset, but now it's different; now she feels ashamed.

As if he understood something, Xiao Jingchen forcibly lifted her head.

"Stop keeping it bottled up, you little crybaby."

Lin Ran pursed her lips, unusually refraining from arguing back, and the two of them suddenly fell silent.

Why did you go out that day?

"Didn't you say you were going to sleep in the house all morning?"

"I……"

Lin Ran bit her lip, avoiding Xiao Jingchen's probing gaze.

She didn't want to hide anything from Xiao Jingchen, but there was one thing she just couldn't tell him.

"My head hurts so much, I can't remember."

She closed her eyes, collapsed onto the bed with a pained expression, clutched her head, and tossed and turned on the bed, glancing at the man's face every now and then.

Lin Ran was unaware that Xiao Jingchen had already seen through her clumsy acting, but he did not expose her; instead, he stared at her intently for a long time.

"Don't worry, this won't happen again."

Lin Ran was taken aback, not understanding what he meant.

"Jiang Rao has gone abroad and will not be coming back."

"She went abroad? Why, isn't she..."

Given Jiang Rao's personality, how could she possibly want to go abroad because of this?

Lin Ran wanted to ask more questions, but Xiao Jingchen answered a phone call and left, leaving her with no choice but to swallow all her doubts.

Perhaps the company has an emergency.

Lin Ran thought to herself with some unease, ignoring Xiao Jingchen's somewhat cold attitude just now.

Still feeling weak after waking up, Lin Ran leaned against the pillow and stared blankly for a while before falling asleep again.

Meanwhile, Jiang Rao, who had been detained for two days, was also released.

She no longer had the demeanor of a young lady; she could only look at people with a mix of tears and laughter.

The confinement had driven her mad; all she could do was stare at people and giggle, which was much more pleasant to look at than her previous arrogant self.

Jiang Jun was completely unaware of this. He didn't even bring any luggage, only a bank card that was enough for him and Jiang Rao to live on, which he clutched tightly in his hand.

Thinking about meeting his beloved granddaughter soon, Jiang Jun's aged face showed a genuine smile.

So what if the Xiao family isn't around? He still owns property abroad, and with the money he has, even if the father and son do nothing, it's enough for them to live on.

That smile vanished completely upon seeing Jiang Rao.

He stared blankly at the somewhat deranged girl in front of him, unable to recognize her for a long time.

"Rao Rao? My Rao Rao."

Seemingly sensing a familiar presence, Jiang Rao slightly raised her eyes and stared at Jiang Jun for a long time, but there was no trace of familiarity in her eyes; she just subconsciously smiled foolishly.

"Mr. Jiang, the plane has arrived. Please take Miss Jiang with you."

Jiang Jun clenched his fist, his mouth slightly open as if he wanted to say something, but when he met Zhou Qing's calm and indifferent gaze, he ultimately swallowed his question.

Well, as long as his Rao Rao is still alive, there is hope.

Besides, he's just an old man now; what right does he have to insist on Xiao Jingchen?

After the plane took off, Zhou Qing stood there for a long time before turning around and leaving.

From this point on, Jiang Jun and Jiang Rao will completely disappear from the Xiao family.
