Chapter 138 Is it you who are bullying her?
Chapter 138 Is it you who are bullying her?
Xiao Jingchen stood in front of Lin Ran and looked her up and down. He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that she was not injured.
He raised his eyes, his cold, sharp gaze sweeping over the surrounding security guards, and let out a sneer.
"So it's you who tried to bully my wife?"
Everyone knew Xiao Jingchen's identity, and they all lowered their heads, not daring to respond.
Lin Ran curled her lips into a smile, like a child who had found a powerful backer, and began to complain.
"Jingchen, the card you gave me has been stolen."
"Miss Jiang said those were her things."
Following Lin Ran's words, Xiao Jingchen turned his gaze to Jiang Rao and immediately noticed the bank card clutched in her hand.
“Brother Jingchen, that’s not it. I thought she secretly took your card, that’s why she said that.”
Jiang Rao gritted her teeth, explaining with a humiliated expression, and handed the card back.
"What happened today was all a misunderstanding, it was my mistake... Miss Lin."
Jiang Rao clenched her fist tightly at her side, her lowered eyes filled with resentment and hatred.
"This card is mine."
Xiao Jingchen answered, took the card back, and then put it into Lin Ran's hand.
"It's hers now."
A blush crept onto Lin Ran's fair face, her heart bubbling with sweetness.
It turns out that besides her mother, there are other people who would protect her like this.
This man is her husband.
"You should all leave now, what are you all doing gathered here?"
The man who came with Xiao Jingchen dispersed the surrounding security guards, and the crowded store finally became much more spacious.
Taking advantage of the chaos around them, Xiao Jingchen leaned close to Lin Ran's ear and whispered, "Why did you suddenly come here?"
Lin Ran blinked and lowered her voice as well.
"I came here to buy a work uniform. We're going to sign a contract tomorrow."
Xiao Jingchen was taken aback; he hadn't paid attention to these things before.
"Wrap up all the clothes in the store that she can wear."
Lin Ran was stunned by these words. She wanted to stop him, but when she met the man's gaze, she couldn't say anything. She could only watch helplessly as the shop's staff got busy folding up the clothes.
Including the one she had her eye on.
"From now on, you won't need to go out for these small things; just tell the maid at home."
After a pause, Xiao Jingchen glanced at Jiang Rao and spoke meaningfully.
"To avoid running into that kind of trouble again."
Troublesome, Xiao Jingchen said she was troublesome.
Jiang Rao's pupils suddenly contracted, and she looked over in disbelief, her eyes filled with tears.
He looked heartbroken.
But Xiao Jingchen refused to spare her another glance.
Jiang Rao bit her lip hard, turned around and ran away. Tian Minmin hurriedly followed behind her.
Jiang Rao stopped at the corner of the stairs, glanced at Tian Minmin beside her, and angrily reached out and pinched her hard.
"Damn Lin Ran, it's all your fault for seducing Brother Jingchen."
"Why don't you just die? Why don't you just die!"
Jiang Rao did not hold back her strength at all, using both hands to exert force and venting her dissatisfaction.
Tian Minmin used all her strength to keep herself from screaming, silently gritting her teeth and enduring the pain.
She had long been accustomed to this kind of life.
If Jiang Rao is even slightly unhappy, he will vent his anger on her.
Her clothes were covered in bruises, all from Jiang Rao pinching her when she was unhappy.
She could not resist, nor did she have the right to resist.
Back at the villa, Lin Ran looked at the newly renovated wardrobe, reached out and touched it, unable to stop smiling.
Lin Ran's heart pounded as she recalled how Xiao Jingchen had protected her.
Everything was proving one thing: she was still attracted to that man.
After Lin Ran's tense preparations, the day for negotiating the contract finally arrived.
Before leaving the house, she carefully straightened her clothes in front of the mirror, making sure there wasn't a single wrinkle, and then checked all the documents before she felt at ease.
Because the distance wasn't far, Lin Ran went directly there in Xiao Jingchen's car.
Even though it was the most familiar environment, Lin Ran inexplicably felt nervous.
Her hands kept pinching the hem of her clothes, and the once clean and neat clothes were now wrinkled.
Xiao Jingchen noticed her anxious and uneasy expression.
"Don't worry, it's just a small contract."
As Lin Ran took her fifteenth deep breath, Xiao Jingchen finally couldn't help but interrupt her.
"Besides, with me here, what are you worried about?"
With me here...
Lin Ran seemed to have thought of something, so she quietly looked up and glanced at Xiao Jingchen, a slight smile playing on her lips.
This statement was surprisingly useful.
Lin Ran's heart actually calmed down.
The contract negotiation process was not as complicated as Lin Ran had imagined; in fact, with Xiao Jingchen's help, she completed it even better than expected.
Even the usually strict Xiao Jingchen was impressed by her.
The client was very happy and signed the contract without much negotiation.
They even boldly extended an olive branch to Lin Ran.
"Ms. Lin, if you are not satisfied with your treatment at Xiao's, our company welcomes you to switch jobs at any time."
Lin Ran smiled and quietly pointed to Xiao Jingchen sitting on the other side.
"Mr. Fang, be careful not to upset me, your boss, if you say that. Then I'll really lose my job."
After saying that, he pretended to sigh in difficulty, which made President Fang laugh nonstop.
After the contract was signed, Lin Ran left with Xiao Jingchen.
As soon as she stepped out the door, Lin Ran looked up at the sky and couldn't help but laugh.
Xiao Jingchen slightly raised his eyes, looking at Lin Ran's bright smile. Something stirred in his heart, and as if restrained, a smile also appeared on his lips.
As the sun set, their figures were bathed in golden light, and their gazes were filled with a sweet and intimate atmosphere.
Seeing this scene, Zhou Qing took out her phone and snapped a picture, then casually put her phone away when Xiao Jingchen looked over.
He thought his movements were smooth and flawless, but after returning to the company, Xiao Jingchen kept him behind alone.
"Take it out."
Zhou Qing's heart skipped a beat, her eyes filled with guilt, but she pretended to be nonchalant.
"What is that, Mr. Xiao?"
I hope no one saw him taking those photos.
"Ah."
Xiao Jingchen curled his lips and chuckled.
"Give me your phone."
Upon hearing these five words, Zhou Qing's face fell. He silently handed over the phone and considerately pulled up the photo.
Looking at the photo, Xiao Jingchen's eyes showed a rare hint of tenderness.
"Nice shot."
"A bonus this month."
Ok?
Zhou Qing secretly reached out and pinched her arm, then rubbed it while wincing.
The pain isn't a dream!
