The Cunning CEO's Contract Wife

Chapter 273 You're still alive

Lin Ran looked at Fu Sinian's expression and then looked at her own hand with suspicion.

Did she knock someone's brains out with that slap?

Lin Ran blinked, feeling a little guilty.

"Um, Fu Sinian, are you alright?"

Fu Sinian realized his mistake and coughed awkwardly twice.

"Of course, I was just thinking about something else."

"Since you want to negotiate the contract in person, then go ahead. I trust you."

This unwavering expression warmed Lin Ran's heart, and she took a deep breath and made her promise.

"Don't worry, I will definitely sign the contract and get it back."

Lin Ran was unaware that, in order to give her the opportunity to negotiate the contract, Fu Sinian used his position in the company for the first time to suppress any dissenting voices.

"I trust Lin Ran; she is an excellent employee."

The group members who came along also expressed their belief in Lin Ran.

With the strong support of these people, Lin Ran and the others naturally had no objections.

On the day the contract was discussed, Fu Sinian surprisingly went with Lin Ran.

Noticing Lin Ran's gaze, Fu Sinian offered a somewhat flustered explanation.

"It's not that I don't trust you, I just want to see how you negotiate contracts, to observe."

While you're at it, check if anyone is bullying you.

Of course, Fu Ssu-nien said the last sentence to himself.

As the president of FG, he was extremely nervous, fearing that Lin Ran would refuse to let him go with her.

"Let's go then."

Fortunately, Lin Ran didn't say anything. She just picked up her phone, checked the time, and got into the car.

Fu Sinian breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly got into the car.

The two decided to discuss the contract at a high-end club. Lin Ran looked at the glamorous signboard and a hint of sarcasm flashed in her eyes.

She curled her lips into a smile, pushed open the door, and walked straight into the private room she had arranged.

Fu Ssu-nien, standing behind her, looked more like an assistant.

Fortunately, he himself doesn't care about these things, and even seems to enjoy them.

Inside the private room, Wang Mei had been sitting for five minutes. She glanced at her watch impatiently and spoke arrogantly.

"What kind of lousy company is this, daring to be so late? It's really annoying."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Ran pushed open the door and walked in.

Wang Mei didn't even bother to lift her head.

"coming?"

"Then I'll just get straight to the point. You know the Xiao family, right?"

"of course I know."

Wang Mei paused for a moment, feeling that the voice was somewhat familiar, but she assumed she had misheard and didn't pay much attention, continuing with her own explanation.

"Good to know. I'm Mr. Xiao's mother-in-law. You have to give me some face, otherwise don't blame me for saying something to Mr. Xiao."

Lin Ran listened to her in silence, then couldn't help but chuckle.

No wonder Wang Mei was able to sign so many contracts.

When she found out the news, she thought Wang Mei had mutated, but now it seems that she is still the same as before, except that she has a powerful backer.

"Mr. Xiao, unfortunately, we don't care. Manager Wang, do you still want to discuss the contract properly?"

Wang Mei, who was always successful, never expected that someone would reject her. She looked up angrily, but froze when she saw the face in front of her.

"Ghost...Lin Ran?"

Lin Ran smiled slightly, her red lips curving into a smile. She sat down on a stool and tapped the table a few times.

"Yes, it's me. Long time no see. How have you been?"

The timid figure in his mind gradually overlapped with the woman in front of him.

Wang Mei's face turned pale instantly, and she pointed at Lin Ran but couldn't say a word.

"you you you you……"

"Speak properly, or don't blame me for being impolite if you keep pointing your finger at me."

Before Lin Ran could react, Fu Sinian behind her couldn't hold back any longer and directly grabbed Wang Mei's finger, prying it back inch by inch.

"You're still alive, Lin Ran, you're really lucky."

Wang Mei's hand hurt a little from being pried open, and she hurriedly pulled it back, but her words were anything but merciful.

"You're disappointed to see me alive, aren't you?"

Lin Ran snorted coldly, her eyes growing colder and colder with each passing moment.

"Wang Mei, I came back this time to let you know that my mother and I are not to be trifled with."

Wang Mei glanced at Fu Sinian briefly, noticing that his clothes didn't even have a brand name, and a hint of disdain flashed in her eyes. Even when she spoke to Lin Ran, she reverted to her usual self.

"Lin Ran, didn't you come back at this time just to steal Xiao Jingchen away? Too bad, he's already engaged to our Chu Chu, so your return is useless."

Lin Ran lowered her eyes slightly, concealing the self-mockery in them.

She suppressed the pain in her heart and put on a smile.

"Really? That's wonderful news."

"However... I don't care."

Looking at Lin Ran's still calm demeanor, Wang Mei felt a growing suspicion.

"Don't care? Don't pretend. If I didn't care, why would I be back at this time?"

"You're clearly just jealous of Chu Chu and want to steal Xiao Jingchen away!"

As Wang Mei spoke, she kept a close eye on Lin Ran, trying to see a hint of panic in her eyes.

But Lin Ran just sneered, her eyes cold and indifferent, showing no sign of sadness.

She tapped the table impatiently.

"I'm here today to discuss contracts, not to talk about useless things."

"Are you going to continue negotiating this contract or not?"

Seeing that Lin Ran looked like she was about to leave, Wang Mei panicked.

This contract is a huge opportunity; she's not about to give it up so easily.

But it was impossible for her to actually have a proper discussion about the contract with Lin Ran; all she could do was curse her viciously.

"You little bitch, you're always ruining other people's good things!"

"No wonder Xiao Jingchen doesn't like you. Look at you, how can you compare to our Chu Chu?"

"Someone like you should be given to Chuchu..."

Seeing that Lin Ran did not refute her, Wang Mei became even more enthusiastic, even forgetting that there was another person in the private room.

Fu Sinian clenched his fists from the very first sentence Wang Mei uttered. He narrowed his eyes, his usually gentle face now filled with coldness.

It finally started moving when Wang Mei said her third sentence.

He slammed his fist on the table, watching the expensive surface crack, and then expressionlessly shook his hand.

"If you dare say those things again, you'll end up like this table, understand?"

Wang Mei was indeed frightened. She looked at the table, then at Fu Sinian, a hint of fear welling up in her eyes.

"You... how could you touch me? I'm Xiao Jingchen's mother-in-law! He won't let you get away with this!"

"Then you can try."

Fu Sinian grinned at Wang Mei, his eyes full of malice, and even waved the fist he had just used to slam the table, his actions full of warning.
