The Cunning CEO's Contract Wife

Chapter 242 She has never lied



Chapter 242 She has never lied

As soon as she closed the door, the grievance on Ye Chuchu's face vanished, leaving only a sinister look.

So what if she was pregnant? She still died in the sea along with Xiao Yunsi's illegitimate child.

In that sense, she should probably thank Xiao Yunsi. If it weren't for what he did, she wouldn't have been able to get rid of Lin Ran so easily.

Ye Chuchu brushed a stray hair behind her ear with her fingers, watching Zhou Qing hurry into the office, a knowing smile on her face.

Sure enough, all men in the world are the same; even if Lin Ran is really pregnant, she will still be suspected.

Ye Chuchu stood at the door for a while longer before turning around and returning to her desk.

Inside the office, Zhou Qing looked at Xiao Jingchen with a nervous expression and spoke apprehensively.

"Mr. Xiao, is there something urgent that you called me back?"

Xiao Jingchen chuckled softly upon hearing this, a hint of unreadable emotion flashing in his eyes.

He tapped his index finger lightly on the table a few times, his tone puzzled.

"What? Can't I call you unless there's something important?"

"No, Mr. Xiao, that's not what I meant."

"Sorry, I made a mistake."

Zhou Qing panicked and immediately apologized.

Xiao Jingchen didn't say anything more, but silently handed over the documents in his hand.

Zhou Qing glanced at it briefly, and his expression changed.

The lady is pregnant; no wonder Xiao Jingchen is in such a hurry.

"Go and investigate everything that Xiao Yunsi and Lin Ran have ever been in contact with."

"Remember, it's all of them."

Xiao Jingchen emphasized the last two words, his tone stern.

Zhou Qing seemed to see herself in the moment when she first met Xiao Jingchen. She lowered her head in fear, took the documents, and left the office.

"Hey, Zhou Qing, what did Brother Jingchen say to you?"

Outside the office, Ye Chuchu stood in front of Zhou Qing without any hesitation.

"I'm sorry, Miss Ye, this is a task personally assigned by President Xiao, and I cannot disclose it."

Zhou Qing's face turned cold. If it weren't for this woman always causing trouble, the president and his wife wouldn't be arguing every day, and things wouldn't have turned out this way.

Ye Chuchu was surprised that Zhou Qing dared to refuse, and her expression changed immediately. Taking advantage of his inattention, she snatched the document away.

Although Zhou Qing reacted quickly and snatched the item back, Ye Chuchu had already clearly seen the words on it.

It was indeed related to Xiao Yunsi.

When Zhou Qing left again, Ye Chuchu didn't stop him. She simply sat back down in her seat with a smug look in her eyes.

Seeing that it was almost noon, Ye Chuchu got tired of sitting there and turned to leave with her bag.

Just over half an hour later, she returned with her lunchbox.

“Brother Jingchen, how can you not even eat? I know you're worried about your sister, but you still need to eat…”

Ye Chuchu walked in carrying a lunchbox, only to find that the office was empty.

She gritted her teeth and casually tossed the lunchbox onto the table.

"Seriously, he wasn't here. All that talking was for nothing. I'm exhausted."

After a pause, Ye Chuchu sat back down on the sofa, completely unaware of the slightly ajar door to the break room in the office.

Xiao Jingchen stared at the scene before him with a complicated expression, feeling as if something inside him had shattered, causing him great pain.

He took a deep breath and walked out with a cold expression.

"Brother Jingchen? What are you doing inside? I thought you weren't here."

Ye Chuchu stood up in a panic, her gaze towards Xiao Jingchen filled with a cautious probing.

"What are you here for?"

Xiao Jingchen did not answer his question, his deep gaze fixed on her.

“I was afraid you would worry too much about your sister and forget to eat, so I specially made some food and brought it to you.”

Ye Chuchu smiled and handed the items over.

"You can leave now. Don't come in unless it's absolutely necessary."

Just as Ye Chuchu was about to lean over and help Xiao Jingchen open the lunchbox, she was suddenly struck by these words and looked over with a wronged expression.

"I understand, Brother Jingchen. I won't do it again."

As Ye Chuchu spoke, she glanced at the computer in front of Xiao Jingchen.

There were several brightly lit photos of women on it.

Ye Chuchu silently clenched her hands, gritted her teeth, and left the office.

That Lin Ran, even in death she's still restless. So many days have passed, and Xiao Jingchen still refuses to give up on her!

Ye Chuchu's eyes darted around, and as if she had thought of something, a sarcastic smile appeared on her lips. She turned and left the company.

Shortly after she left, Zhou Qing rushed back with a document in his hand.

"Mr. Xiao, we've investigated all those matters."

Zhou Qing, with a complicated expression, handed over what she was holding.

Perhaps because Xiao Yunsi's power had waned, those who had previously relied on him left one after another.

When Zhou Qing went to investigate, things became much easier. Those people spilled everything out like beans pouring from a bamboo tube.

As he listened to what Xiao Yunsi had done, and recalled Xiao Jingchen's previous reaction, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

He silently handed over the documents and turned to leave without hesitation.

For the rest of the time, even he was not suited to be present.

Xiao Jingchen did not stop him.

To be precise, his entire attention was now glued to the documents in his hands.

He had seen the same thing countless times.

But the object in his hand was unusually heavy, so heavy that he had no strength to open it.

Xiao Jingchen felt every nerve in his body was throbbing with pain, and the boundless suffering almost crushed him.

After a long while, he slowly moved and slowly opened the document.

From the very first page, every word on the document caused him a sharp pain in his heart.

He clenched his fists and forced himself to read on, word by word. Each word felt like a sharp blade, slowly slicing open his heart, and unbearable pain overwhelmed him.

From the very first meeting between Xiao Yunsi and Lin Ran until every misunderstanding he made afterward, everything was pre-arranged.

As for Lin Ran, just as she herself said, she was innocent.

Bang.

Xiao Jingchen slammed the documents in his hand onto the table, his bloodshot eyes filled with resentment.

He kept recalling Lin Ran's mournful gaze.

I recalled the things he had said.

He regretted every single word he said.

She never lied to him!

Xiao Jingchen's vision blurred, and before he could even call for help, he collapsed to the ground, his face looking terribly pale.

Outside the door, Zhou Qing still caught that almost inaudible sound. Without bothering to knock, he barged in.

"Mr. Xiao!"

Seeing Xiao Jingchen lying unconscious on the ground, Zhou Qing quickly took him to the hospital.
