Chapter 249 Engagement
Chapter 249 Engagement
Ye Chuchu, who originally planned to go out for fun, was forced to change direction and go to the Xiao family because of that woman's words.
After all, so many people witnessed their conversation. If she did nothing, wouldn't people say something about her?
Although she didn't care about these things, it didn't mean that Xiao Jingchen didn't care either.
Ye Chuchu got out of the car, straightened her clothes in front of the mirror, and then went upstairs.
There weren't many people at the company on the weekend, and Ye Chuchu didn't care about their situation, heading straight for Xiao Jingchen's office.
She was about to push the door open when she suddenly remembered what Xiao Jingchen had said. Her hand stopped pushing the door open, and she gently knocked on the door.
"Brother Jingchen, may I come in?"
"Enter."
As soon as Ye Chuchu finished speaking, Xiao Jingchen's voice came out.
She smiled and pushed open the door to go inside.
"Brother Jingchen, thank you for all those bags. I really like them, but there are just too many. I can't possibly use them all."
Even though she really liked those things, Ye Chuchu deliberately frowned and pretended to be troubled.
Xiao Jingchen chuckled softly, but said nothing. He simply put down the documents in his hand and looked up at Ye Chuchu. His intense gaze made her heart skip a beat.
"Brother Jingchen, I heard you fired an employee because of me?"
"Actually, there's no need for that. It doesn't matter what they say. I just need Brother Jingchen to understand me."
Ye Chuchu lowered her head sadly, unaware of the fleeting malice in Xiao Jingchen's eyes.
"You don't need to worry about that matter. Since you're here, come with me to the Ye family."
Xiao Jingchen's tone was still very gentle, but Ye Chuchu felt that something was not quite right. Before she could think about it, she was taken away.
After arriving at the Ye family's residence, Ye Chuchu finally understood why Xiao Jingchen had asked her to come along.
This isn't about cooperating with the Ye family; it's clearly about handing over money directly.
Ye Chuchu stared at them in disbelief until the contract was signed.
Ye Minghua's smile became somewhat stiff, and he kept looking at Ye Chuchu, his eyes full of affection.
As expected of Ye Minghua's daughter, she is indeed much more useful than some other people.
Driven by self-interest, Ye Minghua seemed to have completely forgotten how much Lin Ran had suffered to lend them money.
"Brother Jingchen, thank you so much for helping me."
Ye Chuchu blushed, her eyes filled with burning love as she looked at Xiao Jingchen.
But what Xiao Jingchen said the next second made her freeze completely in place.
"Mr. Ye, I'm here not only to discuss the contract with you, but also for something very important."
“I’ve known Chuchu for so long, and I understand her feelings, so… I want to get engaged to her.”
Xiao Jingchen's eyes were gentle, and his tone was captivating, but Ye Chuchu always felt that something was amiss.
Ye Minghua didn't think too much about it; in fact, he felt that he could gain more benefits this way, so he readily nodded in agreement.
"Mr. Xiao and my Chuchu are a match made in heaven, and it would be wonderful if they could get engaged now."
"Since Mr. Ye says so, then I'm relieved."
Xiao Jingchen revealed a very faint smile as he left the company with Ye Chuchu.
"Brother Jingchen, you said you're getting engaged? Did I hear that right?"
In the car, Ye Chuchu suppressed her almost uncontrollable emotions and cautiously looked at Xiao Jingchen.
“I understand what you mean. My sister hasn’t come back yet. When she does, I will give her back the place that belongs to her.”
Ye Chuchu spoke tentatively, her gaze never leaving Xiao Jingchen's face. Only after confirming that there was no hesitation in his eyes did she secretly breathe a sigh of relief.
"Don't say those things anymore. You're going to be my fiancée from now on."
"Zhou Qing, go to the Ye family and take Chu Chu home."
Overwhelmed by this immense joy, Ye Chuchu felt dizzy and kept wanting to ask more questions, but when she turned her head and met Xiao Jingchen's gaze, all the words stuck in her throat, and she couldn't utter a single one.
Only after seeing the person off did Zhou Qing dare to speak.
"Mr. Xiao, Miss Lin hasn't been found yet. Would it be... inappropriate for you to get engaged to Miss Ye now?"
Zhou Qing glanced at Xiao Jingchen through the rearview mirror, feeling that something was amiss.
Xiao Jingchen chuckled, looked up to meet Zhou Qing's gaze, and spoke with a hint of mockery in his tone.
"Zhou Qing, you're getting dumber and dumber."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Qing slammed on the brakes, the tires screeching against the ground.
"Mr. Xiao, did you do all this on purpose?"
Seeing Xiao Jingchen's non-denial, Zhou Qing suddenly realized.
No wonder he felt that President Xiao had changed so quickly, as if he were a completely different person.
"Investigate what happened that night, but don't let anyone know. Find out who... was that person."
Xiao Jingchen took out a necklace from his clothes, stared at it for a long time, then clenched it tightly and put it back, his voice fierce.
Zhou Qing responded and restarted the car.
Meanwhile, in Country F, Lin Ran looked at her two children with a smile in her eyes.
"Year after year, every year, I am your mother."
The two children looked very similar. They giggled when they heard Lin Ran's voice, their bright, black grape-like eyes staring at her.
“Ah, Aba…”
Every year, she waves her two little hands, as if trying to grab something.
Sui Sui, standing to the side, seemed quite quiet, her chubby, fair face slightly puffed up.
"Ranran, how are you feeling?"
"These two little guys are really well-behaved. They're only a little over a month old, but they're always smiling whenever they see you."
As he spoke, Grandpa Xiao picked up Niannian and nuzzled her face against him.
Even though Mingming is still a child, Lin Ran felt that she could clearly see the word "disdain" on her face.
The names of the two children were decided by Lin Ran and the old man after discussion.
The older brother's name is Lin Suisui, and the younger sister's name is Lin Niannian.
Lin Ran said she hopes that the two of them can be safe and happy year after year.
The old man naturally had no objections.
Although both children are very smart, they are still children after all.
The old man and Lin Ran teased them for a while, and then they saw them yawning uncontrollably.
"Grandpa, let me carry them back to bed."
The old man glanced at the two chubby faces with some reluctance, then nodded.
“Master, you see these two children every day, how come you never get tired of them?”
“Then I am my two precious great-grandchildren, how could I possibly get tired of looking at them?”
The old man snorted smugly and sat on the sofa waiting for Lin Ran to come out.
