Chapter 156 My sister didn't do it on purpose.
Ye Chuchu remained calm and slowly looked up at Lin Ran.
"Sister, you need to provide evidence before you speak. I don't know anything about this."
"However, it would be better if someone like you died sooner rather than later, so you wouldn't have to watch yourself being abandoned."
Lin Ran pursed her lips, her eyes fixed on Ye Chuchu, her emotions churning within them. After a long while, she smiled.
"Ye Chuchu, what brings you here this time?"
“If you were really so sure that Xiao Jingchen loves you, you wouldn’t have come here, am I right?”
Lin Ran spoke with certainty, and she didn't miss the fleeting panic in Ye Chuchu's eyes, her smile deepening.
"Lin Ran, do you really think Xiao Jingchen loves you?"
"You're wrong. He loves me. To him, you're just a tool. If that old man hadn't liked you, you two wouldn't have been the ones getting married!"
Hearing her mention Old Master Xiao, Lin Ran's eyes immediately turned cold as she stared at Ye Chuchu, enunciating each word clearly.
"Show some respect to your grandfather."
"Grandpa? What kind of grandpa is he? Not to mention me, even Brother Jingchen doesn't like him."
Ye Chuchu rolled her eyes in a very inelegant manner, her tone completely unconcerned.
It seems everyone knows that Xiao Jingchen and Old Master Xiao were not on good terms before.
Lin Ran opened her mouth as if to refute, but the words stuck in her throat and she couldn't say them.
She seemed to have no reason to refute it at all.
Seeing this, Ye Chuchu became even more arrogant, standing by the hospital bed and staring down at Lin Ran.
“Now I work with Brother Jingchen every day, and not only that, he also drives me home.”
"If you still have any shame, take the initiative to divorce him, so that you don't have to leave in a bad way."
Ye Chuchu leaned down slightly, looked at Lin Ran's provoked expression, and smiled smugly.
The footsteps outside grew closer. Ye Chuchu glanced at Lin Ran, who seemed lost in thought, and poured out the still-scalding hot soup from the thermos.
"Sister, have some of the soup I made myself."
As soon as she finished speaking, the door was opened, and Ye Chuchu screamed, spilling the entire bowl of soup all over her arm. The bowl also fell to the ground and became a mess.
Lin Ran was stunned. She looked at Ye Chuchu, who was sitting on the ground with a wronged expression, and seemed to understand something. She then looked up at the door.
Sure enough, Xiao Jingchen was standing there, and he must have seen everything that just happened.
"Brother Jingchen, don't blame my sister, she definitely didn't mean it."
Ye Chuchu's eyes were slightly red, and hot soup splashed onto her clean clothes, filling the ward with the rich aroma of meat.
Lin Ran opened her mouth, about to explain, when the fishy smell reached her nose. She frowned and couldn't help but gag.
Xiao Jingchen's heart tightened, and he took a step to go over and see what was going on, but was stopped by Ye Chuchu, who was sitting on the ground.
She pitifully raised her head, revealing tears in her eyes without it seeming forced, and the redness and swelling on her arm from the burn were even more noticeable.
"Brother Jingchen, my arm seems to hurt a little."
Xiao Jingchen paused for a few seconds, then looked at Lin Ran. Seeing that she was alright, he hesitated for a moment before reaching out to help Ye Chuchu up.
Only upon closer inspection did I notice that the burns on her arm were quite severe, and there were even blisters.
Xiao Jingchen frowned, seemingly feeling somewhat guilty.
He had said just a few days ago that he would never let Ye Chuchu get hurt again, but he never expected that just two days later, she would be hurt so badly in front of him.
"Let's go, I'll take you to get it sorted out."
Ye Chuchu was secretly happy, but her face still showed a worried expression as she secretly glanced at Lin Ran, who was still in bed.
"What about my sister? I don't know what happened to her just now. Maybe she wasn't feeling well, which is why she didn't want to drink the soup."
"Stop talking, go and treat your wound first."
Xiao Jingchen frowned, a hint of impatience flashing in his eyes, and pulled Ye Chuchu away from the ward.
When Lin Ran looked up to explain, she only saw the backs of the two people. She was stunned for a moment, then looked around the room.
There were no cameras, which meant that only she and Ye Chuchu knew what had just happened.
Lin Ran slumped down, her fists clenching and unclenching.
She wondered if Xiao Jingchen would really listen.
The ward door wasn't closed, and a gust of cold wind blew in. Lin Ran looked up at the corridor and gave a bitter smile.
It seems there's no need for her to explain anything anymore; Ye Chuchu has probably already told Xiao Jingchen everything.
Just as she had guessed, Ye Chuchu did indeed talk about what had just happened after she left.
"Brother Jingchen, does my sister not like me very much? Otherwise, why would she be so angry when I gave her soup?"
Ye Chuchu's tone was dejected, as if she had been hit hard. Her fair face was scrunched up, and she spoke in a pitiful voice.
Xiao Jingchen merely glanced at it indifferently and then found a nurse to help her.
"It's just a burn, nothing serious. Don't get it wet for now, apply the ointment regularly, and it should be fine in less than a week."
The nurse was skilled and finished treating the wound in just a few minutes, and Xiao Jingchen finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"If you're injured, go home and rest. You don't need to come to the company for the next few days."
Xiao Jingchen's voice was cold, sounding less like he cared and more like he wanted to get rid of him.
Clearly, Ye Chuchu had also realized this. Her face stiffened, and she stared blankly at Xiao Jingchen.
“Brother Jingchen, I still want to go see my sister again.”
"No need, I'll go there myself. You can go first."
Xiao Jingchen interrupted her, his tone leaving no room for argument, and left before Ye Chuchu could react.
Ye Chuchu stomped her foot, and the ointment in her hand was thrown hard to the ground.
"Damn Lin Ran! You bitch! Even after all this, you still want to seduce my Jingchen brother."
Taking advantage of the fact that there were no acquaintances around, Ye Chuchu spoke without restraint, even startling the nurse who had just cleaned her wounds, who hurriedly moved away from her.
When Xiao Jingchen returned to the ward, the floor had already been cleaned. Lin Ran was lying on her side on the bed, motionless, but she looked over when she heard the sound.
“Xiao Jingchen, that was Ye Chuchu just now…”
"It's alright, no need to explain."
"You should get some rest. I won't bother you anymore."
Xiao Jingchen interrupted Lin Ran's explanation, his eyes unreadable, and turned to leave after uttering those two sentences.
If he could, he would certainly want to stay, but Lin Ran probably doesn't want to see him right now.
Rather than leaving them both in an awkward situation, it would be better to let Lin Ran rest properly and explain what happened when she returns home after she has recovered.
Little did he know that in Lin Ran's eyes, he was unwilling to listen to her explanation, or rather, she had already decided in her heart that she would lie.
