The Cunning CEO's Contract Wife

Chapter 114 What is your identity?

Although Xiao Jingchen did not go over, his eyes kept looking at Lin Ran's location.

Seeing that her face was flushed from drinking, a dark glint flashed in her eyes, and she gave Zhou Qing a wink.

This woman usually seems quite assertive, so why is she being so obedient now?

Xiao Jingchen thought with some annoyance, completely unaware of his own worry for her.

"Miss Lin, are you unable to drink anymore? It's only been a few cups, you're not lying to me, are you?"

Jiang Rao noticed Lin Ran's discomfort, but showed no intention of letting her off the hook.

Since they dared to steal her man while she was away, they should pay some price.

Jiang Rao placed the bag on the table beside her wrist, personally handed Lin Ran a glass of wine, and looked like she was going to force her to drink it.

“Miss Jiang, Lin Ran doesn’t seem to be feeling well. Why don’t I drink this wine?”

Before Zhou Qing arrived, Xiao Yunsi stepped forward and stood in front of Lin Ran, explaining gently.

Jiang Rao frowned, stared at him for a while, a hint of confusion still in her eyes.

They've clearly forgotten who he is.

"Xiao Yunsi, you don't need to worry about me."

Lin Ran looked at the person blocking her way and her heart softened, but she still spoke up to persuade him.

Jiang Rao wants to see her make a fool of herself, and apart from Xiao Jingchen, no one can stop her.

"Xiao Yunsi?"

Finally, Jiang Rao remembered his identity, and the disdain in her eyes became even more obvious.

"Who do you think you are, trying to be a hero and save the damsel in distress?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Jiang Rao suddenly felt a chill, as if she were being stared at by a venomous snake. She looked at Xiao Yunsi, but found that he was still as gentle as ever, and the chill from before had disappeared.

It was as if she were imagining things.

No one noticed the fleeting killing intent beneath Xiao Yunsi's gentle gaze.

"I don't have any special status; I'm just here to help a friend."

Xiao Yunsi stopped talking and drank the wine on the table one glass after another.

A large crowd had already gathered around, including Ye Chuchu.

She had already found out this person's identity when Jiang Rao returned to China.

Although she was a little annoyed that such an outstanding rival had suddenly appeared out of nowhere, she soon realized something else.

Jiang Rao inquired about Lin Ran, wasn't it because she wanted to deal with her?

She could watch the two of them fight each other, and then she could easily flatten them.

Seeing the tense atmosphere, Ye Chuchu could hardly suppress her excitement.

Jiang Rao was stunned by Xiao Yunsi's decisive action, but she quickly recovered and looked at him and Lin Ran with complicated eyes.

"It seems I underestimated you; you actually managed to have both of the Xiao family members under your control."

"Lin Ran, what a clever trick."

As Jiang Rao spoke, she glanced at the two of them with an ambiguous look.

Lin Ran originally didn't intend to have any conflict with her, but perhaps because she had drunk a bit too much, she became a little tipsy and took a few steps forward to stand in front of Xiao Yunsi.

"Miss Jiang, instead of spending your time criticizing me, you should take a good look at yourself."

"You're not just making me drink because you're jealous of me, are you?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the entire banquet hall fell silent.

It was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Jiang Rao's face turned pale and then red, and she looked at Lin Ran in disbelief.

This matter was not a secret, but even if everyone knew it, no one had ever dared to say it so directly. Lin Ran's words were a direct slap in the face.

Jiang Jun realized something was wrong, so he stopped wasting words with Xiao Jingchen and walked over in a few steps.

Even though his hair was already gray, he still looked somewhat creepy standing there with a cold face.

But Lin Ran, who had been drinking, wasn't afraid and stared back without any hesitation.

Xiao Jingchen also walked over at this moment, glanced at Xiao Yunsi standing behind Lin Ran, his eyes were dark and unfathomable, and after a pause, he looked at Lin Ran again.

"Brother Jingchen, look, this is how the employees at the company bully me!"

"Are all of Xiao's employees this unruly now?"

Upon seeing Xiao Jingchen approach, Jiang Rao immediately lost her arrogant demeanor and pitifully tugged at his sleeve, acting coquettishly.

They even deliberately avoided mentioning Lin Ran's identity, only saying that she was an employee.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Jun also looked at Xiao Jingchen.

"Mr. Xiao, our company still needs some rules and regulations, otherwise wouldn't we be going to get out of control?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jingchen immediately understood their meaning.

He looked at Lin Ran with a complicated expression, only to find that she was also looking at him.

Xiao Jingchen tightened his grip on his sleeve and spoke heavily.

"One month's salary will be deducted, and a warning will be issued."

Click.

Lin Ran seemed to hear the sound of her own heart breaking.

The last glimmer of hope in his eyes was completely extinguished.

She curled her lips into a mocking smile, her eyes devoid of any emotion.

Sure enough, in Xiao Jingchen's eyes, she was nothing more than an object that could be discarded at any time.

"I've learned my lesson from Mr. Xiao. I'm not feeling well, so I'll be leaving now."

Lin Ran spoke slowly and deliberately, her eyes fixed on Xiao Jingchen. After she finished speaking, she didn't look at him again and turned to leave the hall.

Xiao Jingchen instinctively wanted to chase after him, but Jiang Rao grabbed his arm.

The impulse in his mind suddenly subsided, and he abruptly stopped in his tracks, making a gesture towards Zhou Qing.

Zhou Qing nodded and chased after him, but unexpectedly, Xiao Yunsi also followed him out.

"Brother Jingchen, what are you thinking about?"

Seeing that Xiao Jingchen was staring in the direction Lin Ran left, Jiang Rao felt a panic and even forgot the distance they should keep, almost pressing herself against him.

"It's alright, let's go, the board of directors is still waiting for us."

Xiao Jingchen subtly distanced himself from Jiang Jun and led him back to their original positions.

With the disturbance over, the banquet quickly came to an end. Jiang Rao, who had been pleading to go play with Xiao Jingchen first, stopped talking after being glared at by Jiang Jun.

It wasn't until she was on the bus home that Jiang Rao finally spoke up, expressing her dissatisfaction.

"Grandpa, why did you stop me just now?"

"You silly girl, how can you act so recklessly? Why did you go looking for Lin Ran today?"

Upon hearing that name, Jiang Rao's expression changed, but she ultimately threw herself into Jiang Jun's arms.

"Grandpa, I'm just angry! Why is she allowed to marry Brother Jingchen? He's clearly mine!"

Jiang Jun, who was initially a little angry, saw his granddaughter acting cute and all his anger vanished when he saw her acting like this, leaving only helplessness in his voice.

"I know you're a little angry, but you can't disregard Mr. Xiao's feelings."

"She's your brother Jingchen's woman now. If you lay a hand on her, you're just slapping your brother Jingchen in the face!"

Jiang Rao's expression changed, and she didn't say anything more.
