The Cunning CEO's Contract Wife

Chapter 281 Don't Argue Because of Me

Lin Ran cleaned up the mess until midnight, which meant she overslept in the morning!

She glanced at the time and hurriedly got out of bed.

By this time, Nian Nian should already be awake, and might have even had breakfast.

Lin Ran thought to herself, but when she opened the door and looked downstairs, there was no one there!

"Every year?"

Lin Ran shouted in a panic and opened the door to the next room.

The little girl was still snuggled in her blankets, fast asleep.

Lin Ran breathed a sigh of relief and carefully went to the bedside to wake the person up.

It seems those two people really disturbed Nian Nian's rest last night, otherwise, how could Nian Nian, who usually gets up so early, have slept for so long today?

Thinking this, Lin Ran's dissatisfaction with a certain person increased even more.

As for other reasons... Lin Ran naturally never even considered them.

Such a well-behaved child every year, would he stay up late at night to do something else?

In bed, a hint of guilt flashed across Niannian's face as she realized she had overslept because she had been chatting with Lin Suisui the night before.

Lin Ran hurriedly tidied up the two of them, then dropped Niannian off at kindergarten just in time before taking a taxi to the company.

Fortunately, most of FG's employees are acquaintances, so even though Lin Ran was a little late, no one noticed.

But as soon as she sat down, she saw Fu Sinian with a bandage wrapped around his arm, struggling to modify a file on his computer with his left hand.

"Fu Sinian, your hand..."

Lin Ran had a guess in her mind, but she wasn't sure, so she cautiously asked a question.

A rare hint of embarrassment flashed across Fu Sinian's face. He blinked and stammered for a long time before failing to explain himself clearly.

"I accidentally fell on my way home last night, but it's nothing serious."

Lin Ran stared at him silently for a long time, then sighed deeply.

"Fu Ssu-nien, next time you lie, can you come up with a more plausible reason?"

"I'm sorry, it was all because of me yesterday. How's your injury?"

Although Lin Ran didn't want to admit that she had a relationship with Xiao Jingchen, she couldn't escape the fact that Fu Sinian was injured.

Thinking this way, her guilt deepened.

Because of this momentary lapse in concentration, she failed to see the fleeting look of triumph in Fu Sinian's eyes.

"You don't need to apologize to me, this has nothing to do with you."

"Besides, I don't want you to argue because of me."

This classic "green tea" remark almost made Su Yi, who was sitting next to him, burst out laughing.

But when Fu Sinian glanced at him, he could only forcefully suppress the smile on his face, which twisted into a grimace.

Lin Ran also sensed that something was amiss, but when she met Fu Sinian's sincere gaze, she choked on her words and couldn't utter a single sentence.

"He and I...have nothing to do with each other."

“It didn’t happen before, and it won’t happen again, so you don’t need to say such things.”

After saying this, Lin Ran didn't even know why she felt a little uncomfortable. She pursed her lips, turned around, and went back to her desk.

"President Fu, Team Leader Lin, there's a woman at the company entrance who wants to come in. She says she's Team Leader Lin's sister and insists on coming in."

"I really couldn't stop her; she's waiting in the reception room now."

As soon as the words "younger sister" were uttered, Lin Ran's expression changed. Without having time to explain to anyone, she went to the reception room.

The moment Lin Ran saw Ye Chuchu, her eyes were filled with hatred.

"Lin Ran, you're actually still alive."

Ye Chuchu's face showed undisguised surprise.

After Wang Mei told her the news, she asked someone to investigate. Although she didn't know how Lin Ran survived those three years, the thought that she hadn't experienced any pain made her insanely jealous. Moreover, how could someone like her, who only went to an ordinary university, be able to work at a big company like FG?

"Are you disappointed that I'm alive?"

Lin Ran smiled defiantly, her tone mocking.

"But you shouldn't do anything else as my sister in the future. My mom didn't give birth to any sister for me."

As soon as Lin Ran finished speaking, the onlookers around them roughly understood the situation and stared at Ye Chuchu with different expressions.

"So she's shameless. I was wondering how Ranran could have such a sharp-tongued and mean-spirited younger sister."

Su Yi was best friends with Lin Ran, and knew a little about her family situation.

Therefore, from these few words, he understood Ye Chuchu's identity, and the sarcastic words came out of his mouth almost without thinking.

"Who do you think you are, daring to speak to me like that!"

Over the past three years, Ye Chuchu has been practically pampered, so she naturally couldn't stand what Su Yi said and subconsciously started to threaten him.

"Believe it or not, I'll make sure you can't stay in Kyoto."

Ye Chuchu thought that after she said those words, these people would cry and beg her to let them go, just like the others before.

Su Yi only paused for a few seconds before bursting into laughter.

"No, this isn't the Xiao family's place. Don't you feel embarrassed saying these things?"

"Sister Ranran, I really don't think you two have anything to do with each other, otherwise why would she be so stupid?"

Su Yi clutched his stomach and burst into laughter. Although the others didn't laugh out loud, their expressions showed that they were also holding it in.

Ye Chuchu's expression changed, and she glared fiercely at Lin Ran.

"You wait for me!"

After saying this, Ye Chuchu turned and left, her disheveled appearance completely different from when she came in.

Lin Ran stared at her retreating figure, somewhat lost in thought.

She couldn't believe that Ye Chuchu had come to the company to see her just to say a few unimportant words.

This is nothing like her.

Fu Sinian seemed to sense her worry and leaned slightly toward her ear.

"Don't worry, Xiao Jingchen would never go against our company for her sake. Even if that day comes, FG will not abandon any employee."

In fact, Fu Sinian wanted to say that he would not give up on Lin Ran, but thinking of Lin Ran's previous reaction, he changed his words.

Lin Ran didn't listen, only nodding casually, but her heart was filled with increasing unease.

Outside FG Company, Ye Chuchu stared grimly in the direction of the building.

It really was Lin Ran; she really didn't die, she came back.

Even though the sun was shining brightly in the sky, Ye Chuchu felt a chill all over her body.

She couldn't guarantee that Xiao Jingchen would treat her the same way after he found out about this.

Perhaps... they'll even make her leave and let Lin Ran move back into that villa.

Ye Chuchu clenched her hands silently, her eyes filled with greed.

She would never allow this to happen!
