The Cunning CEO's Contract Wife

Chapter 33 Discipline Your Daughter Properly

Lin Ran kept her head down and didn't say a word after getting into the car, pressing her body close to the door to keep as far away from Xiao Jingchen as possible.

However, when she heard the name Ye family, her body trembled uncontrollably, and her lowered eyes were filled with a deathly stillness.

Is she still going back to that place?

Xiao Jingchen naturally didn't miss her movements. Seeing her curled up in a ball, that strange emotion welled up again.

This unfamiliar emotion kept swirling around him, and Xiao Jingchen frowned.

He hated this feeling of being out of control.

"Can we not go back to the Ye family?"

Lin Ran's voice suddenly broke the silence in the car, but it was too soft, and Xiao Jingchen was preoccupied with his own thoughts, so he didn't hear it clearly.

"how?"

"Xiao Jingchen, nothing happened between Xiao Yunsi and me. Could you please not send me back to the Ye family?"

Perhaps because Xiao Jingchen's expression was still relatively normal, Lin Ran couldn't wait to repeat what she had said, and raised her head with the last glimmer of hope.

Perhaps, Xiao Jingchen will listen to her.

But when she met those cold eyes, she realized how naive her thoughts had been.

The handsome man slowly reached out and, under Lin Ran's gaze, grabbed her fair neck, his tone cruel.

"Lin Ran, do I look like a fool?"

Xiao Jingchen's eyes were full of mockery, and even while doing such a terrifying thing, his expression remained very calm.

The oxygen in her lungs dissipated little by little, and Lin Ran's lifeless eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of gray, devoid of any hope.

"laugh."

For some reason, Xiao Jingchen suddenly let go of her hand and turned to look out the window.

When Xiao Jingchen arrived, Ye Minghua was just about to leave.

Seeing him walk in, her heart skipped a beat, but she maintained her composure and went to greet him.

"Mr. Xiao, what brings you here so early in the morning?"

Xiao Jingchen didn't even glance at him, and went straight to the living room, sitting down on the luxurious sofa.

Ye Minghua looked at his gloomy face, then at Lin Ran following behind him, and immediately understood everything.

He has a habit of reading the newspaper every morning, so of course he saw today's headline news.

He was initially somewhat skeptical, but now it seems things are getting a bit tricky.

Before he could come up with a solution, Xiao Jingchen raised his head, tapped his long, slender fingers lightly on the sofa twice, and gave a half-smile.

"Mr. Ye, are you so busy with work that you don't even have time to discipline your daughter?"

Ye Minghua froze. Although he tried his best to remain calm, cold sweat poured down his back, and his hands, hidden in his sleeves, trembled uncontrollably.

"If you really don't have the time, I don't mind helping you manage the Ye family's company."

"Mr. Xiao is joking..."

Ye Minghua forced a smile, but to her surprise, Xiao Jingchen's face immediately darkened.

Do I look like I'm joking?

Ye Minghua had witnessed Xiao Jingchen's ruthless methods of destroying companies, and he shuddered involuntarily. His voice trembled slightly as he hurriedly spoke.

"President Xiao, please calm down. I will definitely teach her a lesson and make sure she doesn't do anything so shameful again."

"Ah."

Xiao Jingchen didn't even bother to lift his eyelids when he heard this. He pursed his thin lips and forced a cold smile.

But the smile didn't reach his eyes.

"Mr. Ye had better remember his words and discipline his daughter properly."

"Yes, yes, Mr. Xiao, don't worry, I will definitely take good care of it."

Having achieved his goal, Xiao Jingchen slowly stood up and left the Ye family under Ye Ming's slightly frightened gaze.

Lin Ran didn't say a word from beginning to end. She knew that no matter how much she said, Xiao Jingchen wouldn't believe her.

Suddenly, a pair of black leather shoes appeared in front of her, and Lin Ran's body tensed up immediately. She carefully raised her head.

"dad……"

"Shut up! I don't have a daughter as disgraceful as you."

Ye Minghua had just been humiliated by Xiao Jingchen, so when she saw Lin Ran, she naturally vented her anger on her.

"Dad, I didn't do those things..."

"Shut up!"

Ye Minghua raised his hand high and slapped the other person without hesitation, showing no mercy whatsoever.

The immense force knocked Lin Ran over, causing her to fall to the ground. Her leg, which was not fully healed, slammed against a nearby table, and her head, still dazed from the blow, clearly felt the pain.

She was in so much pain, but she couldn't scream; she could only let out muffled groans of agony.

"Minghua, she's Xiao Jingchen's woman, you'd better be careful when you make a move."

Wang Mei came down from upstairs at some point, looking down at Lin Ran lying on the ground. She pleaded for him, but her gloating eyes were undisguised.

"Hmph, she doesn't deserve it. How could President Xiao possibly look at a little bitch like her?"

"If it weren't for her, I wouldn't have been threatened by Xiao Jingchen just now!"

Ye Minghua grew angrier as he spoke. Looking at Lin Ran on the ground, his eyes were filled with cold disgust, and he kicked her again without any politeness.

Lin Ran cried out in pain, curling up into a ball like a little shrimp.

"Sigh, you can't be angry with your father. It's your own fault for being shameless and doing such a thing."

Wang Mei spoke up sarcastically.

Lin Ran took a deep breath; no matter how much pain she felt physically, it was nothing compared to the pain in her heart.

"Alright, Minghua, don't be angry about this anymore. Go to the company quickly."

Wang Mei gently comforted Ye Minghua. He checked the time and realized it was getting late, so he tidied up and prepared to leave.

"Keep an eye on her and don't let her run around."

"Do not worry."

A glint of light flashed in Wang Mei's eyes as she smiled and saw Ye Minghua off.

Ye Chuchu was the last to wake up. She knew nothing about what was happening outside. She went downstairs and saw the person lying on the ground, and started shouting.

"Mom! Who is this?!"

"Mom, come here quickly!"

Ye Chuchu howled twice, then mustered her courage and went closer, only to discover that the person on the ground was actually Lin Ran.

Now her fair and delicate face is swollen so badly that it's unrecognizable.

"Lin Ran, what are you doing in my house!"

Ye Chuchu was still holding a grudge against Lin Ran for kicking her out of the Xiao family villa, so her tone was naturally not very pleasant.

Lin Ran took a deep breath, the wound on her face throbbing with pain from the movement.

"Chuchu, look at the newspaper on the table."

Wang Mei shouted something into the house, but her eyes looked a little strange as she closed the door.

Why did she feel like someone was watching her when she went out just now?

"That little slut, seducing Brother Xiao wasn't enough, she even seduced other men!"

As soon as she finished reading the newspaper, Ye Chuchu started shouting.

She looked so angry, as if she were the one who had been cheated on.

Lin Ran couldn't help but chuckle, though her voice was very soft, Ye Chuchu still heard it.
