The Cunning CEO's Contract Wife

I'll sign after reading Chapter 29

Ye Chuchu's approach was very effective, and that very evening Xiao Jingchen had someone draft the divorce agreement.

"Mr. Xiao, the old man hasn't woken up yet, is what we're doing..."

Zhou Qing held the printed divorce agreement in her hand and carefully began to speak, but she did not see the increasingly deep look in Xiao Jingchen's eyes after hearing her words.

"Zhou Qing."

A cold voice came from behind him, and Zhou Qing froze, swallowing the words he hadn't finished saying.

He talked too much.

Xiao Jingchen didn't say anything more, gave Zhou Qing a deep look, and left with the divorce agreement.

The study door slammed shut, and Zhou Qing seemed to come to his senses and finally let out a sigh of relief after a long while.

Cold sweat dripped from his forehead down his cheek and into his hair.

He must have been insane to say those things.

Meanwhile, in the bedroom, Lin Ran was still frowning in her sleep, her small face full of fear.

Xiao Jingchen stared at her coldly for a while, then unceremoniously pulled back the blanket.

"who!"

The sudden chill woke Lin Ran abruptly; her eyes shimmered with sleepiness.

"Why did you come here?"

A few seconds later, Lin Ran became much more awake. Looking at Xiao Jingchen standing by her bedside, her tone unconsciously became a little awkward.

After all, the two of them didn't get along very well yesterday.

"This is the divorce agreement. Sign it."

Xiao Jingchen didn't even bother to glance at him, and simply tossed the document in his hand over.

Lin Ran's breath hitched, a bittersweet feeling welling up inside her. She bit her lip to suppress the hurt she felt.

"I won't sign."

"Ah."

Xiao Jingchen gave a cold laugh, seemingly unsurprised that she would say those words, but the disgust in his eyes deepened even more.

This woman clearly can't let go of the Xiao family's money; otherwise, why wouldn't she be willing to get a divorce?

"Lin Ran, you have no right to refuse."

Xiao Jingchen's words were cold, just like his personality.

Lin Ran couldn't help but look up, but could only see Xiao Jingchen's cold profile.

"I have a request; I'll sign if you agree to it."

After a long pause, Lin Ran said something in a low voice, with a hint of melancholy.

"explain."

Xiao Jingchen's eyes were filled with sarcasm.

She was about to reveal her purpose, but she didn't know how much money this woman wanted.

"I need to go to the hospital to see Grandpa. Can you take me there?"

After a pause, as if afraid that Xiao Jingchen wouldn't believe her, Lin Ran added another sentence.

"I'll sign it right away as soon as I see Grandpa's face, and it won't delay your business at all."

Xiao Jingchen was taken aback, a hint of surprise appearing in his eyes.

He thought Lin Ran would ask for money, a house, or even company shares, but he never expected that this woman would make such a request.

However, this emotion was quickly suppressed.

"Lin Ran, why are you being so hypocritical?"

Hearing Xiao Jingchen's question, Lin Ran felt a slight pain in her heart, but she stubbornly repeated her request, and even dared to make a threat at the end.

"I won't sign unless you agree to my request."

Xiao Jingchen's eyes were as dark as ink. After a long while, he snorted coldly and had someone deal with Lin Ran.

When they first returned to the villa, Lin Ran was carried up by Xiao Jingchen. But given the current situation, she was too embarrassed to say anything and could only limp downstairs by herself.

Xiao Jingchen's outstretched hand froze in mid-air.

His eyes were fixed on the trembling figure, but he felt increasingly annoyed. He snorted coldly, walked past Lin Ran, and got into the car.

"You'd better hurry, time waits for no one."

Lin Ran gritted her teeth, her already frighteningly pale face now appearing almost transparent.

Standing by the car, Zhou Qing felt a little reluctant, but since his young master hadn't said anything, it wouldn't be appropriate for him, as an assistant, to go up.

Fortunately, Lin Ran walked faster after going downstairs, although she was still limping.

By the time she got into the car, she was in so much pain that she was covered in sweat.

Xiao Jingchen stared intently at Lin Ran's sweat-dampened temples, and after a long while, he coldly cursed.

"hypocritical."

Lin Ran felt a pang in her heart, but she didn't say anything more.

The old man's ward was in the VIP room on the top floor. The room was not only large, but also very quiet.

Lin Ran looked at the pale-faced old man on the hospital bed and felt a pang of guilt.

If it weren't for saving her, Grandpa wouldn't have been pushed by Ye Chuchu and wouldn't be lying in the hospital.

Perhaps the guilt in Lin Ran's eyes was too obvious, even Xiao Jingchen was somewhat moved, but only slightly.

He will never forget that the old man's current state is all thanks to this woman.

"Have you seen enough? If you have, hurry up and sign."

"Ah."

Lin Ran sighed, picked up the divorce agreement that Xiao Jingchen had placed aside, and without even looking at what was written on it, turned directly to the last page.

Just as the pen tip touched the paper, the door to the ward was pushed open, and the butler beside the old man walked in.

"Young Madam, please sign the document later."

"Young master, I have something here for you to see."

Lin Ran paused for a moment, watching Xiao Jingchen leave, and did not continue writing her name.

"Butler Xiao, is there anything I can help you with?"

Xiao Jingchen was somewhat annoyed that his business had been interrupted, and his tone of voice was indifferent.

"Young Master, are you going to divorce the Young Madam?"

Butler Xiao didn't mince words and asked directly.

"Yes."

Xiao Jingchen's dark pupils were filled with determination, without the slightest hesitation.

A knowing glint flashed in Butler Xiao's eyes, but he took out a document and handed it over.

"This is the old master's will, young master, please take a look."

Xiao Jingchen's heart skipped a beat, a bad premonition flashing through his mind. He picked up the will and started to read it.

Sure enough, a clause in the will clearly stated that if he divorced Lin Ran, he would not receive a single share of Xiao's company.

"good very good."

Xiao Jingchen sneered, his eyes filled with cold, fierce anger.

He couldn't understand why the old man, who was just a vain and ruthless woman, had become so obsessed with Lin Ran, forcing him to marry her and even threatening him with shares.

He even protected her in his will!

"Young Master, these are all the Master's wishes."

"Really? Did he know when he wrote his will that he would be pushed down by the very person he was protecting so much?"

Butler Xiao glanced at the ward instinctively. He didn't believe Lin Ran would do such a thing, but he couldn't bring himself to say it.

Xiao Jingchen held the thin sheets of paper in his hand, his expression inscrutable, his thin lips pressed together in a cold manner.

"Grandpa must have had a reason for doing this."

Just then, a gentle voice came from behind. Xiao Jingchen looked up and saw the voice, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

It was Xiao Yunsi who arrived.
