The Cunning CEO's Contract Wife

Chapter 26 The Old Man Falls into a Coma

Early the next morning.

Xiao Jingchen stretched his stiff body. After what happened last night, he had no mood to rest, so he simply stayed in the study all night.

However, all his clothes were still in the bedroom, so he would have to go back to change.

Thinking of Lin Ran, Xiao Jingchen frowned deeply, his eyes filled with impatience. After a long while, he reluctantly opened the bedroom door.

The person in the bed seemed to still be fast asleep, and the light from outside shone through the curtains.

Xiao Jingchen saw her pale face and a strange feeling rose in his heart.

But soon, he suppressed those emotions, changed his clothes and left the bedroom. The person on the bed kept his eyes closed the whole time, his lips tightly pressed together as if he were enduring great pain.

"Mr. Xiao, Mr. Xiao said today that he is coming back to visit his wife."

Xiao Jingchen paused, a cold glint flashing in his eyes, and his words were equally icy.

"Let him come if he wants."

"I still have company matters to attend to, so I won't stay here."

After saying this, Xiao Jingchen took a long stride and left the villa.

Zhou Qingshu behind him wanted to say something, but when he looked up at the man's indifferent back, he swallowed his words.

Forget it, this is a matter between the father and son. He's just a small assistant, so it's best not to say anything.

No sooner had Xiao Jingchen left than Ye Chuchu appeared in her pajamas, a lazy smile on her face.

"Is Brother Xiao awake?"

"Miss Ye, the young master has already gone to the company."

Although the maid disliked Ye Chuchu, she was, after all, her mistress's sister, so she could only suppress her dissatisfaction.

"You're gone? So early?"

Ye Chuchu's voice suddenly changed, becoming sharp and grating.

"neat."

Wang Mei's slightly reproachful voice came from behind, and Ye Chuchu impatiently suppressed her emotions.

"Mom, it's all your fault. If I had come out earlier, I could have seen Brother Xiao."

Hearing her daughter's complaints, Wang Mei's face was full of indulgence, and she waved her hand to dismiss the surrounding servants.

"Chuchu, remember this, these things need to be done slowly, understand?"

"I know, Mom."

The mother and daughter ate a luxurious breakfast under the care of their servants, just like the owners of the villa.

"Let's go, we should go up and see her."

Wang Mei wiped her mouth with satisfaction, deliberately imitating the manners of the noblewomen she had once seen.

When the two entered the bedroom, Lin Ran was already awake and was reaching for the water glass on the table. Just as she was about to grab it, a hand suddenly appeared and moved the glass back a considerable distance.

"Sister, why aren't you coming down for dinner?"

"Oh dear, I forgot, your legs are no longer able to walk."

Ye Chuchu made a sarcastic remark, looking at the person on the bed with disdain in her eyes.

Lin Ran pursed her dry lips, looked up at the two people in front of her, and tried to make her tone sound as calm as possible.

"I want to drink."

"Then drink it. Are your legs crippled and you can't even move your hands?"

Looking at Lin Ran's vulnerable appearance, Ye Chuchu's face was full of smugness, as if she were the mistress of this villa.

"Ye Chuchu, don't forget that I am Xiao Jingchen's wife now. Aren't you afraid of how you treat me..."

Lin Ran gritted her teeth and accused the two in a hoarse voice, but before she could finish speaking, Ye Chuchu slapped her.

Jealousy, anger!

Although Ye Chuchu already knew that Xiao Jingchen did not like Lin Ran, she still couldn't control her jealousy when she heard this woman using her status to suppress her.

"Lin Ran, you shameless woman! You must have seduced Brother Xiao, otherwise why would he marry a woman like you!"

Lin Ran lay weakly by the bedside, feeling dizzy and wanting to vomit, but since she hadn't eaten anything, she only gagged a few times.

A faint pain throbbed in Lin Ran's leg. She blinked, but a cold smile crept onto her lips.

"Ye Chuchu, no matter what you say, I'm the one who's married to Xiao Jingchen now."

After a pause, Lin Ran touched her face, feeling the pain but laughing even more happily.

Do you think Xiao Jingchen will hold a grudge against you because I was injured?

A casual remark threw Ye Chuchu into a panic, but she was more furious than afraid, and she walked to the bedside in a few steps.

Before Lin Ran could react, someone grabbed her wrist and pulled her down.

"Well."

Lin Ran let out a painful groan, but refused to bow her head to Ye Chuchu, letting the woman hit and scold her as she pleased.

"Lin Ran, you bitch, let me tell you, the position of Mrs. Xiao will be mine sooner or later."

"I'll show you what's what, I'll show you how to seduce Brother Xiao!"

Ye Chuchu hit Lin Ran again and again.

But Lin Ran gritted her teeth and refused to utter another cry of pain.

Grandpa Xiao initially thought Lin Ran was resting because everything downstairs was quiet.

But as he got closer, he seemed to hear a woman's sharp, cursing voice.

The elderly man panicked and quickened his pace, rushing into the bedroom.

The girl he had been carefully protecting was being pinned to the ground and beaten by Ye Chuchu, who kept spitting out one swear word after another.

"Stop! Stop right now!"

Grandpa Xiao was so angry that he took a few steps over to stop him.

"You old bastard, get out of my way!"

Ye Chuchu, who was already in a frenzy, didn't care about anything else. When she saw someone trying to stop her, she instinctively pushed them.

Old Master Xiao was old and already unsteady on his feet. After being pushed like that, he suddenly fell to the ground and fainted.

"grandfather!"

Lin Ran's eyes widened, her gaze turning bloodshot. Ignoring the pain coursing through her body, she crawled over with all her might.

"Grandpa, wake up, Grandpa!"

Lin Ran's voice trembled violently. She had never felt this panicked when she was being beaten, but when she saw Old Master Xiao lying on the ground without any reaction, a huge panic spread throughout her body.

"Use your phone, call an ambulance immediately!"

Lin Ran tried her best to calm herself down and dragged her injured legs to the bedside to get her phone.

"I...I didn't mean to, I didn't mean to."

Ye Chuchu finally calmed down and stared blankly at her hands.

On the other side, Lin Ran had already gotten her phone and was about to make a call.

Ye Chuchu panicked and snatched the phone away without hesitation, throwing it aside.

"Ye Chuchu, you're crazy! You'll kill Grandpa!"

Lin Ran had no time to talk to Ye Chuchu; her eyes were only on the cell phone that could save her life.
