Chapter 234 It was all arranged by you
Xiao Yunsi was not someone who could be easily fooled, or rather, he could see the change in Lin Ran's attitude at a glance.
He knew perfectly well why these changes had occurred, but he hadn't expected the matter to be exposed so quickly.
"Lin Ran, haven't I told you before that your acting skills are really terrible?"
Xiao Yunsi chuckled, took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it. His practiced movements showed that he had smoked quite a few cigarettes.
Lin Ran closed her eyes briefly, and when she opened them again, her gaze towards Xiao Yunsi was icy cold.
"Why did you lie to me?"
"Lying to you? Lin Ran, I'm not lying."
"On the contrary, I care about you even more than Xiao Jingchen does."
Xiao Yunsi no longer seemed to be pretending. He took a deep drag on his cigarette, leaned against the wall, and skillfully flicked the ash off his cigarette with two fingers.
"All the good things I did for you were real, Lin Ran. You're so heartless."
He shouldn't have brought it up, because once he did, Lin Ran was reminded of how she had been fooled like a fool, and she felt like dying.
Suddenly, Lin Ran seemed to realize something, and her gaze toward Xiao Yunsi became more questioning.
"All those things you did to save me before, you orchestrated them all, didn't you?"
"Tsk, I never said that. It's wrong for you to make such wild guesses."
Lin Ran was instantly overwhelmed by immense pain. She had thought that although Xiao Yunsi had lied to her, at least what she had heard before was true. But now it seemed that it was all fake, all a scheme deliberately planned by Xiao Yunsi!
"Xiao Yunsi, you're disgusting!"
Lin Ran, somewhat distraught, pushed Xiao Yunsi away and ran downstairs.
Xiao Yunsi's eyes darkened, and he hurriedly chased after them.
The two left one after the other, completely unaware that a very familiar person was sitting in a booth on the first floor.
Ye Chuchu stared in disbelief at the scene before her, her eyes gleaming with excitement.
She didn't say anything, but silently took out her phone and took pictures of the two entangled, then sent them all to Xiao Jingchen.
This was an opportunity specially sent by heaven; how could she ignore it?
Meanwhile, Lin Ran, who had already run away, was being tightly gripped by Xiao Yunsi's wrist, with such force that it seemed as if he wanted to break it.
"Xiao Yunsi, let go!"
Lin Ran was no match for him. Even when she struggled fiercely, it was like tickling Xiao Yunsi, and she felt nothing at all.
"What exactly do you want? Haven't you taken what you wanted yet?"
Seeing that he wouldn't let go, Lin Ran gave up struggling completely and looked at him coldly.
Xiao Yunsi smiled, a smile that inexplicably gave off a chilling feeling.
"I got it, but don't even think about telling Xiao Jingchen about it."
"Don't forget, you gave me this document yourself. Telling Xiao Jingchen will only make him suspicious of our relationship, and then..."
Xiao Yunsi chuckled softly, and with his other hand, he gently poked Lin Ran's stomach under her horrified gaze.
"Even if you get pregnant, he won't want the baby, understand?"
That short sentence startled Lin Ran so much that she froze on the spot.
She gritted her teeth and looked at Xiao Yunsi, her eyes filled with fear.
"How did you know?"
"Ha, if Xiao Jingchen had cared about you even a little more, he wouldn't have missed it."
"Lin Ran, you're a smart person, you should know what to do, right?"
As if issuing a warning, Xiao Yunsi released Lin Ran after saying these words, his eyes seemingly still showing a hint of disdain.
He turned and left, but Lin Ran seemed to be frozen in place, remaining motionless for a long time.
She felt both relieved and disappointed.
Fortunately, Xiao Jingchen already knew about this matter; given his shrewdness, he should have already made preparations.
As for disappointment...
Xiao Yunsi is right. If Xiao Jingchen had just glanced at her even once, how could he not have noticed the obvious change?
Lin Ran bit her lip, and tears streamed down her face.
Like a lost child, she walked away step by step, returning to the villa.
Surprisingly, Xiao Jingchen didn't seem to be working overtime today; he was sitting on the sofa, seemingly waiting for something.
Hearing the noise, he slowly raised his head, and the chilling coldness in his eyes completely panicked Lin Ran.
"came back?"
Xiao Jingchen suddenly spoke, his tone still carrying a hint of gentleness. He lowered his eyes to look at the glaring red mark on Lin Ran's wrist and sneered.
"Looks like you had a lot of fun. But Xiao Yunsi is too heartless to you, leaving such marks."
As Xiao Jingchen spoke, he grasped Lin Ran's wrist and rubbed the red mark with his fingertips until the skin there turned bright red.
“What an eyesore.”
This blatant disdain completely broke Lin Ran. She could only cry like a block of wood, her dark eyes fixed on Xiao Jingchen.
"Xiao Jingchen, don't you believe me at all?"
"No matter what, we've been husband and wife for so long, don't you trust me at all?"
Lin Ran sobbed uncontrollably, but the man in front of her still had a cold expression on his face. He narrowed his eyes slightly, suppressing any hint of tenderness in them.
"Husband and wife? You don't even deserve that!"
"Lin Ran, have you forgotten that you are just a tool I use to appease Grandpa? I have no other feelings for you besides that?"
Lin Ran looked at Xiao Jingchen with heartbreaking grief, only to see him frown and speak again.
"I misspoke. I almost forgot you still owe me money. Remember, pay me back all the money before the divorce."
Xiao Jingchen's silence felt like a knife ripped open in Lin Ran's heart, one cut after another, the pain suffocating her.
Those once bright and sparkling eyes now seemed to have lost their soul, empty like a puppet.
Lin Ran's tears seemed unstoppable.
Her face was pale, and she stumbled as she tried to turn and leave, but her steps were unsteady, and she fell to the ground after only a few steps.
Xiao Jingchen's pupils contracted, and he almost couldn't control his body, wanting to chase after her and hold her in his arms to comfort her.
Before he could make a move, Lin Ran stood up again and went upstairs step by step like a walking corpse.
That slender figure reminded Xiao Jingchen of the feeling of holding her earlier that day.
So thin, it's like he's just a skeleton.
Xiao Jingchen hesitated for a long time before getting up and following.
But Lin Ran had already returned to her room, and the moment the door closed, the suppressed sobs finally escaped.
Grief, sorrow.
Xiao Jingchen stood there with a conflicted expression, his mind filled with the photos Ye Chuchu had just sent him. In the end, he turned around and went downstairs.
He shouldn't have developed feelings for a woman who betrayed him.
