Chapter 109 Anyone with questions, just tell me.
Looking at the indignant women behind Ye Chuchu, a hint of disdain flashed in Lin Ran's eyes.
She remembered the faces of these people very clearly; they were the ones who had been desperately trying to get her drunk before the New Year.
Thinking of how she almost lost her virginity that night, Lin Ran's expression turned even colder.
"You need to provide evidence before you speak. You say I stole it, but do you have any proof?"
Lin Ran slowly stood up, her sharp gaze sweeping around her. The women all lowered their heads, not daring to meet her eyes.
"You say you didn't steal it, so where's the evidence?"
After a long while, a woman finally spoke, but instead of explaining, she questioned Lin Ran, demanding that he produce evidence.
Lin Ran scoffed, a naked mockery in her eyes.
"Please get a clear picture of the situation."
"You are the ones who suspect me, so you should provide evidence to support your suspicions, instead of making me prove my innocence."
Lin Ran's calm demeanor made the others uneasy. They exchanged glances and then turned their attention to Ye Chuchu.
"It's no use."
Ye Chuchu noticed the gazes of the others, cursed inwardly, and her face turned as black as charcoal.
"Didn't I just show you? Those photos are evidence. Isn't that enough?"
"On the contrary, what evidence do you have?"
Lin Ran narrowed her eyes slightly, about to speak, when a clear voice rang out from behind her.
"Of course, I gave her the necklace."
"If anyone has any questions, just tell me."
Xiao Jingchen's voice was indifferent, but no one present dared to meet his gaze. They all lowered their heads, looking as if they dared not speak.
"Brother Xiao, I..."
Seeing Xiao Jingchen, who shouldn't be here, Ye Chuchu felt a pang of panic. She bit her lip and looked at the man in front of her, her tone pitiful.
"Come with me."
Seeing that no one objected, Xiao Jingchen glanced at Ye Chuchu, who was about to shed tears, his tone revealing neither joy nor sorrow.
The two left silently, and the others dared not say anything more, all returning to their desks.
In Xiao's top-floor office, Ye Chuchu stood beside Xiao Jingchen with her eyes lowered. Where the man couldn't see, the jealousy in her eyes was undisguised.
But when she looked up again, her face had that pitiful look on it once more.
"Brother Xiao, I'm sorry, I was just too jealous."
"I really liked that necklace, so I did that in a moment of madness. It's all my fault."
"and……"
Ye Chuchu pouted, and tears immediately fell.
"We bought this necklace together. I misunderstood. I'm sorry, Brother Xiao. It's all my fault. Please don't be angry anymore, okay?"
Looking at the person in front of him with tears streaming down his face, Xiao Jingchen sighed helplessly.
He hadn't considered things carefully; after all, Ye Chuchu and he... he should make it up to her.
"You can tell me what you want in the future."
Xiao Jingchen said coldly, then paused and added.
"Don't cause her any trouble."
"I understand, Brother Xiao."
Ye Chuchu was initially happy upon hearing the first half of Xiao Jingchen's statement, but Xiao Jingchen's next words plunged her into despair.
Lin Ran, it's Lin Ran again! What's so good about that wretched woman that Brother Xiao misses her so much?
Watching Lin Ran leave, Xiao Jingchen gave Zhou Qing a task.
Three days later, Ye Chuchu specially wore a new dress to work. The low neckline design allowed everyone to see the necklace around her neck at first glance.
While not as precious as aquamarine diamonds, they are still quite valuable.
This was specially ordered by Xiao Jingchen to be purchased by Zhou Qing from F country, and after receiving it, it was delivered to the Ye family.
Ye Chuchu couldn't wait to put the necklace on and even bought a new dress to wear to the company.
Hearing the praises from passersby, Ye Chuchu's vanity reached its peak.
Especially after catching a glimpse of that familiar figure, he couldn't wait to walk over.
"Lin Ran, what's so special about your necklace? Have you seen mine? This was specially bought for me by Brother Xiao."
Lin Ran's eyes flashed, but her face remained calm.
"So what? It has nothing to do with me."
"Is it okay? Actually, you're furious inside, aren't you? Humph, Brother Xiao only likes me, only me!"
Lin Ran tightened her grip on her sleeve and turned to leave.
She tried desperately to tell herself not to care about these things, but she couldn't hide the bitterness on her face.
"If you don't want to laugh, then don't laugh. It looks bad."
Suddenly, a hand reached out from her side and blocked Lin Ran's way. She didn't even need to look up to guess who it was.
"Xiao Yunsi, move aside, I'm going to be late."
Xiao Yunsi's tone was helpless, but there was a hint of a smile in his eyes.
"You're almost late if you're talking to me, but why weren't you thinking about being late when you were talking to Ye Chuchu?"
"Never mind, I came here because I have something to give you."
Xiao Yunsi took a box out of his pocket and shoved it into Lin Ran's hand without saying a word.
"Here, this is a necklace I carefully selected."
"That thing around your neck was just something Xiao Jingchen bought on a whim. Such a casual gift is really not worthy of you."
After a pause, Xiao Yunsi suddenly blinked, as if he had discovered some little secret, and leaned closer.
"However, I think Ye Chuchu's dress looks like it was carefully chosen."
"Okay, I won't keep you from getting to work, I'll be going now."
Xiao Yunsi seemed to have only come to deliver a gift; he waved to Lin Ran and left.
A casual gift...
Lin Ran recalled what Xiao Jingchen had said that night and sighed silently in her heart.
She already knew, after all, Xiao Jingchen bought the necklace to appease his grandfather, so it couldn't be said that he put any effort into it.
All he needs is his image as the president of the Xiao Group.
Lin Ran gently stroked the diamond. It was such a small thing, yet it made her feel cold from the bottom of her heart.
Looking at the box in her hand, Lin Ran lowered her eyes and hesitated for a long time before putting her hand down.
She also put the gift Xiao Yunsi gave her into the bag in her hand.
She had promised Xiao Jingchen that she would follow the agreement properly.
Since you've said it, you must do it.
On the top floor, Ye Chuchu glanced at the time and cautiously entered Xiao Jingchen's office.
"Brother Xiao, do you have time now?"
Xiao Jingchen paused in his hand and put the document down.
"Go ahead."
“My mother said that I’m not getting any younger and wants us to settle our marriage as soon as possible…”
Ye Chuchu's cheeks flushed red, and she was too shy to look up.
Xiao Jingchen's expression changed slightly. He lowered his eyes and hesitated for a long time before slowly saying, "Chuchu, I will make it up to you."
Ye Chuchu was stunned, and her face immediately turned extremely ugly.
What does Xiao Jingchen mean by this?
