The Cunning CEO's Contract Wife

Chapter 137 This is my card

Lin Ran looked at the waiter's obsequious manner, her voice filled with anger.

"Is this how you treat your customers?"

"That was clearly the dress I liked first."

Jiang Rao and Tian Minmin stood aside watching the show with great interest. Both of them had suffered losses in front of Lin Ran, and now that they finally had a chance to turn the tables, they were both extremely excited.

The waiter was also good at reading people and could tell at a glance that there was a conflict between the two. He also took a closer look at Lin Ran's clothes.

Forget about brand names, it doesn't even have a trademark; it probably came from some street stall.

Then look at Jiang Rao next to her; she's dressed in designer brands, and even Tian Minmin next to her isn't wearing anything cheap.

In short, they were all people she couldn't afford to offend.

Thinking this, she looked at Lin Ran impatiently.

"Look at what cheap clothes you're wearing, and you still dare to say you want to buy clothes from here."

"Don't brag about it and then not buy it. I have the utmost contempt for people like you."

Lin Ran stopped talking and couldn't help but laugh out loud.

She originally thought that she could at least receive fair treatment in this kind of shop, but she didn't expect that the people here were also like this, looking down on people.

"So you really have to give her this dress?"

Upon hearing the question, the waiter paused for a few seconds, a strange sense of unease rising within him.

"This outfit is priced at 800,000, can you afford it?"

Eight hundred thousand?

Lin Ran paused for a moment, then subconsciously looked up at the hanging garment.

She had expected the clothes to be somewhat expensive, but she hadn't anticipated them to be this expensive.

Seeing her stunned expression, the waitress's unease vanished completely, and she proudly tilted her head back.

"What? Now you realize you can't afford it, you poor wretch."

"Only someone like Miss Jiang deserves such clothes. As for you... go somewhere cool and stay there."

Jiang Rao was quite pleased with the waiter's flattery. She took a few steps forward and looked at Lin Ran with a playful expression.

"What? You're not going to say anything now?"

"That's true. Last time you only took one million from my grandfather. You must have never met a family like yours before, where a piece of clothing costs eight hundred thousand."

Recalling the humiliation she suffered at the banquet, Tian Minmin's eyes were filled with resentment. She deliberately walked past Lin Ran and bumped her bag with her elbow.

Caught off guard, Lin Ran was knocked to the side.

The manager, who happened to be inspecting the store, frowned when he saw this.

Perhaps it was because she had seen so many people, but Lin Ran always seemed somewhat familiar to her.

Before she could think about it further, her gaze was drawn to the black spot on the ground.

Lin Ran's bag fell to the ground, and a black card fell out of it.

The manager's heart skipped a beat. He abandoned his spectator's mood and walked over in a few steps.

Not only the manager, but even Jiang Rao was stunned.

How could she not know what the black card represented? Even she, her family couldn't get her hands on that card.

It's obvious that this card belongs to Xiao Jingchen.

Realizing this, the hatred in Jiang Rao's eyes became even more pronounced.

"Excuse me, miss, is something the matter?"

The manager originally wanted to help Lin Ran pick up the card, but Jiang Rao was one step ahead and grabbed the card in her own hand.

"So, Lin Ran, you not only took my grandfather's money, but you even dared to steal my card?"

Jiang Rao said without changing her expression, as if the card really was stolen from her by Lin Ran.

Lin Ran took a deep breath and took her bag from the manager.

"Jiang Rao, do you think everyone is a fool?"

"This card clearly fell out of my bag, how dare you say it's yours?"

Jiang Rao's body stiffened, but she gripped the card even tighter.

"This is mine. You stole my things, and you'll go to jail."

Lin Ran sneered and pointed to the surveillance camera above her head.

"Since you claim it as yours, then produce the evidence."

"There's a surveillance camera overhead, so we can check it out and get a clearer view."

Jiang Rao looked up, her eyes filled with even more panic.

"There's no need to check any surveillance footage. I'm telling you, this is mine, so it's mine."

"I am Jiang Rao, and my grandfather is Jiang Jun. Do you dare disobey me?"

The security guards had already gathered around when the manager arrived. Upon hearing Jiang Rao's words, they were all stunned, looking at Lin Ran, unsure whether to take action.

The manager was more conflicted than the security guards.

After getting closer, she finally remembered Lin Ran's identity: she was President Xiao's wife and Jiang Jun's granddaughter. She couldn't afford to offend either of them.

Seeing the tense atmosphere, she quietly slipped aside and dialed her boss's number.

It's best to leave such tricky matters to someone else to handle.

At that moment, in an office on the top floor, a boss glanced at the message on his phone, then looked at the man sitting opposite him, his expression quite strange.

"Just tell me if you have anything to say."

Xiao Jingchen looked at the man opposite him who seemed to want to say something but hesitated, his brows furrowed and his tone somewhat dissatisfied.

"Um, Mr. Xiao, it seems your wife has had a conflict with someone."

The man hesitated for a long time before speaking, and trembled as he felt Xiao Jingchen's gaze suddenly turn cold.

"where?"

It seems that a conflict occurred at the clothing store next door with Ms. Jiang.

It's Jiang Rao again.

Xiao Jingchen narrowed his eyes, anger churning within them, and put down the documents in his hand before standing up.

"lead the way."

"Okay Mr. Xiao."

The man straightened up and quickly led the people to the store.

Even from a distance, Xiao Jingchen spotted Lin Ran at a glance.

And the security guards surrounding her.

Xiao Jingchen's eyes darkened, and his pace quickened considerably.

"What are you standing there for? Arrest her and take her to the police station right now!"

Jiang Rao, her voice brimming with excitement, urged the security guards on. With her back to the shop door, she was completely oblivious to the footsteps behind her, her eyes fixed on Lin Ran with excitement.

Even if she can't be convicted, this insult is enough.

She also wanted to make Lin Ran taste what it felt like to be humiliated in public.

In contrast to her, Lin Ran was indeed a little flustered, but she breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Xiao Jingchen walking quickly towards her, and a hint of excitement appeared on her face that she herself did not notice.

"Oh? I wonder who Miss Jiang is planning to arrest?"

The voice from behind made Jiang Rao stiffen, her heart leaping into her throat. She slowly turned her head.

“Brother Jingchen, what’s wrong with you…”

Xiao Jingchen walked past Jiang Rao without even sparing her a glance, heading straight for Lin Ran.

The manager, hiding in the corner, stared blankly at the scene and swallowed hard.

What's going on? She should have only called her boss, right? How come even President Xiao is here now?
