The Cunning CEO's Contract Wife

Chapter 46 What a coincidence!

After leaving, Ye Chuchu didn't go far. She found a place to hide the check and then went back.

Seeing that she was quiet and didn't try to touch him like she did yesterday, Xiao Jingchen didn't say anything more.

The next morning, as Xiao Jingchen ate his breakfast, his eyes glanced at the table where he had put the checks the day before.

He saw Lin Ran put the check there yesterday, and now it's gone.

Ye Chuchu had been secretly watching him, and naturally noticed that he was staring at the table.

Thinking of the check she had taken, Ye Chuchu felt a pang of panic and carefully began to speak.

“Brother Xiao, it seems that my sister took the check.”

"Ah, I'm not sure if I saw it wrong."

Ye Chuchu pretended to be conflicted and said it, then looked at Xiao Jingchen with disdain and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

She wouldn't let any opportunity to smear Lin Ran slip by.

When Xiao Jingchen went downstairs, he saw Lin Ran standing downstairs again. This time, he didn't say a word, got into his car, and left the hotel.

Lin Ran stood at the door for a few seconds, then turned back without hesitation.

It was Xiao Jingchen who didn't want to take her to work; it wasn't that she wanted to slack off. The headquarters would probably find a reason to deduct her salary.

For several days, Lin Ran did nothing here until she heard from Zhou Qing that her business trip was over.

Lin Ran didn't bring much when she came, and naturally there wasn't much to pack when she left. She was already waiting downstairs.

Soon, Xiao Jingchen and Ye Chuchu came downstairs together.

"Sister, come back with us."

Seeing that Xiao Jingchen had no intention of paying attention to Lin Ran, Ye Chuchu's eyes darted around, a calculating thought forming in her mind. She pulled him to a stop.

Xiao Jingchen raised his eyes impatiently, his gaze towards Lin Ran filled with disgust.

"Chuchu, don't worry about her, she can go back on her own."

After saying that, he put his arm around her and strode away.

Ye Chuchu was secretly delighted, but on the surface she looked worried.

"Isn't that a bad idea, Brother Xiao? What if my sister encounters danger all by herself?"

Xiao Jingchen looked down at Ye Chuchu, whose face was full of worry, and his heart softened.

The girl he liked was indeed the kindest.

"No need, she doesn't deserve to be with us."

It wasn't until that familiar car disappeared from sight again that Lin Ran suddenly understood the meaning of Xiao Jingchen's words.

Is he going to buy his own ticket and fly back?

That bastard! Why didn't he say so sooner!

Lin Ran sighed, frowned, and took out her phone to check the earliest flight. Fortunately, there was still time.

She quickly bought the ticket and hailed a taxi.

"Driver, I'm catching a flight, could you please drive faster?"

Lin Ran was pretty and spoke nicely, so her master naturally wouldn't make things difficult for her. He nodded and stepped on the gas.

The car suddenly lurched forward, and if Lin Ran hadn't already fastened her seatbelt, she suspected she would have been thrown out.

I wanted to ask the driver to slow down, but seeing his determined look, I swallowed my words.

Well, this master craftsman should know what he's doing.

It has to be said that the driver was indeed very fast, arriving fifteen minutes faster than Lin Ran had anticipated.

The advantage of not having any luggage became apparent at this point; she passed through security with ease and looked for her seat by the numbers on her ticket.

"Number 22... Number 22 is in the back."

Lin Ran finally found number twenty-two, only to discover that a very familiar person was sitting next to her.

"Xiao Yunsi?"

The man whose name was called looked up, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

"Lin Ran? What a coincidence."

"Yes, what a coincidence, I'm number twenty-two."

Xiao Yunsi smiled slightly, stood up and let Lin Ran sit down, a calculating glint flashing in his eyes.

"You didn't go back with President Xiao?"

Xiao Yunsi put down the newspaper in his hand, turned his head to look at Lin Ran, and his tone was more doubtful.

"Well, I'm just a lowly employee, how could I be with President Xiao?"

Lin Ran didn't expect to run into someone she knew here, and her nervousness immediately dissipated.

The two chatted and laughed all the way until they got off the plane.

A man sitting behind them looked at the photos he had taken on his phone and smiled with satisfaction.

Are you going back to the company? Want to come together?

Xiao Yunsi invited Lin Ran, thinking he would definitely not be refused, but to his surprise, she shook her head.

"I have some other things to do, so I won't be going back to the company for now. I'm leaving now."

Lin Ran learned about her mother's surgery in the next city. Now that she was finally back, she was determined to go to the hospital to see her.

Thinking that the doctor said the surgery went smoothly, Lin Ran couldn't help but feel excited. As soon as she got out of the car, she rushed to the ward.

But as soon as her hand touched the doorknob, she heard the woman's angry curses from inside the house, which made her more suspicious.

My mother has been in a coma, and there are no other patients in the ward. So who is speaking?

A bad feeling welled up in Lin Ran's heart, and she pushed open the door and went inside.

The woman inside the room hadn't expected anyone to suddenly come in, and she hadn't even let go of the patient's hand.

"You disgusting thing, you've been unconscious for so long, why didn't you just die!"

Lin Ran's heart clenched as she watched her still unconscious mother being choked by a woman who was also cursing under her breath.

"mom!"

"Who are you, and why are you treating my mother like this?"

Lin Ran walked over in a few steps and saw the bruises on the wall next door. She knew this wasn't the first time this woman had done this. A huge anger ignited in her heart, and she reached out and forcefully pushed the woman aside.

"Ms. Lin...Ms. Lin."

The woman's face stiffened, and her complexion turned noticeably paler.

Now she knew Lin Ran's identity perfectly well, and thinking about what she had just done, her hands trembled.

Lin Ran tucked her mother's arm under the covers before looking up at the woman standing to the side, her face chillingly cold.

“Ms. Lin, I’m the caregiver who just started working here a few days ago, I…”

The woman tried to explain awkwardly, but Lin Ran wouldn't listen and interrupted her with a cold snort.

"That's enough, I don't want to hear it. You're fired now, get out of here."

"No way, Miss Lin, how can you just fire me like this!"

Upon hearing that she had lost her job, the woman panicked and completely forgot what she had just done.

"You're not leaving? Then I'll call the police. What you just did is illegal, understand?"

"Whether you leave now or not, you've already been fired, understand?"

Lin Ran's tone left no room for negotiation. She looked at her mother on the hospital bed with heartache. Such a bright and cheerful woman was now tormented by illness and looked disheveled.
