The Cunning CEO's Contract Wife

Chapter 57 1 The whole family is shameless

Lin Ran listened silently to the urging from the phone, her expression inscrutable.

"Ms. Lin, we have managed to get three days. If you still cannot pay the fee after three days, there's nothing we can do."

The person on the phone spoke very tactfully, but Lin Ran still understood what she meant.

If she can't raise the money within three days, her mother will be kicked out of the hospital.

"I will hand it in on time."

Lin Ran opened her mouth, her voice frighteningly hoarse, and then hung up the phone after saying those words.

Looking at the work that was still unfinished, Lin Ran rubbed her temples wearily and sighed.

It was her oversight yesterday; she never expected Wang Mei to be so shameless.

Thinking of her mother, who was still unconscious in the hospital, Lin Ran's eyes turned completely cold.

This time, she will not swallow these grievances; she will personally take back what belongs to her.

Half an hour later, a taxi stopped outside the Ye family's villa.

Looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar place before her, Lin Ran took a deep breath and pushed the door open to go inside.

"Oh, miss, you can't just go in."

The maid at the door recognized Lin Ran and became extremely anxious when she saw her walk straight into the house.

"What's the fuss about?"

Lin Ran had just stepped into the living room when an arrogant voice came down from upstairs.

Wang Mei had just received a call from her daughter, who said she was bringing Xiao Jingchen back to discuss their wedding. She was overjoyed and was currently choosing clothes in her bedroom.

Hearing the noise, he came downstairs with an unhappy expression. He immediately saw Lin Ran standing in the middle of the living room, and a look of panic flashed in his eyes.

"What are you doing here?"

Lin Ran looked up at Wang Mei, who was dressed in an elegant and luxurious manner, and her eyes were full of undisguised mockery. She smiled coldly and said, "Of course, you've come to take my things away."

"your things?"

Wang Mei frowned impatiently, walked down step by step, looked Lin Ran up and down, and after a while, sneered.

"This is the Ye family home. How could your things be here? Besides, your things were taken away back when we got married."

Wang Mei's voice was very shrill and harsh to the ear; even Ye Minghua upstairs frowned and came downstairs.

"what happened?"

“Minghua, it was Lin Ran who suddenly came back saying she wanted to take back her things. I just gave her a few words of advice.”

"You took the 200,000 yuan from the hospital, didn't you?"

"Give it back to me, and I'll leave right away."

Lin Ran didn't want to argue with them here. She only had one purpose in coming here today: to get back her mother's medical expenses. As for anything else, she didn't care at all.

"What two hundred thousand? I don't know anything about that. Get the hell out of here!"

Upon hearing Lin Ran mention money, Wang Mei's face darkened immediately, and she waved her hand impatiently.

"That's my mother's life-saving money. I won't leave until you give it to me today."

Lin Ran had already considered this possibility before coming, and when she heard Wang Mei say this, she was not in a hurry at all, and sat on the sofa with a calm expression.

"I'm not in a hurry."

Wang Mei felt a surge of anger seeing her like this.

The thought of Ye Chuchu returning later made him even more anxious.

"I've already spent that 200,000 yuan. I bought a bag for my Chuchu, and there's not a single penny left."

"Get out of here and stop getting in my way."

After hesitating for a moment, Wang Mei waved her hand impatiently.

She wasn't lying; she really did intend to use that money to buy a bag.

Upon hearing this, Lin Ran abruptly raised her head, her eyes fixed on Wang Mei. Seeing that Wang Mei's expression didn't seem to be lying, Lin Ran felt a pang of pain in her heart, as if she had lost something important.

That was clearly her mother's life-saving money, but Wang Mei not only took the money, but also bought Ye Chuchu a bag.

Why!

"That's my money! What right do you have to spend it! What right do you have to buy a bag for Ye Chuchu!"

Lin Ran roared in pain, her hands trembling uncontrollably.

Wang Mei was also startled. Seeing Lin Ran's devastated state, she showed no remorse but instead sneered, "It's only two hundred thousand, why are you being so stingy?"

"Anyone who didn't know better would think I took two million from you."

Not only Wang Mei, but even Ye Minghua's expression showed a hint of confusion.

"Two hundred thousand? You're making a mountain out of a molehill. You're not behaving like the Ye family at all!"

Lin Ran's eyes were filled with sadness, and a series of grievances were about to spill out, but she held back.

Her mother was still waiting for her to come back at the hospital; how could she let herself panic?

"Since you think 200,000 is not a big deal, then give the money back to me."

"Can't you understand human language? I just said, the money has already been spent!"

Wang Mei's tone was full of impatience as she saw that Wang Mei was still bringing up the matter of repaying the money.

"You spent my money, so of course you have to pay me back. What? Is the Ye family so big that you can't even come up with 200,000?"

“I don’t care what you did with that 200,000 yuan, or what methods you used, you must return my mother’s life-saving money to me now.”

After a pause, Lin Ran looked up, curled her lips into a cold smile at the two of them.

"Otherwise, I'll tell Xiao Jingchen that I wasn't a virgin when I got married."

"You should know the consequences of deceiving the Xiao family."

Lin Ran said slowly, and seeing Wang Mei's face change immediately, he knew that he had made the right bet.

Wang Mei was already drenched in a cold sweat from fright.

Ye Chuchu only managed to stick close to Xiao Jingchen by using Lin Ran's identity. If that man found out it was all a lie...

Wang Mei shuddered at the thought of that man's methods.

Ye Minghua's face was frighteningly cold. He knew Xiao Jingchen's methods better than anyone else. How could that man possibly allow himself to be deceived like this?

"How can you talk such nonsense!"

"What kind of nonsense are you spouting? Don't say it again."

Lin Ran smiled, knowing she had made the right bet, and was about to speak when a sweet, delicate voice came from behind her.

"Mom, Dad, I'm home."

Xiao Jingchen let Ye Chuchu hold his wrist, his expression calm, revealing nothing of his thoughts.

His gaze flickered when he caught sight of Lin Ran standing in the living room.

Did this stupid woman know he was coming and wait here on purpose?

Thinking of the project he had been sent away, Xiao Jingchen curled his lips into a smile, his expression unchanged. He simply took Ye Chuchu's hand and walked past Lin Ran.

Ye Chuchu's face lit up with joy, and she lowered her head shyly.

Lin Ran was preoccupied with the 200,000 yuan and naturally didn't react to Xiao Jingchen.

"Give me the money, and I'll leave right away."

Lin Ran looked at Ye Minghua's flustered appearance and curled her lips in a mocking smile.

Now she wasn't worried that Ye Minghua wouldn't pay, after all... Xiao Jingchen himself was right there, and he wouldn't dare gamble with the Ye family's money.
