The Cunning CEO's Contract Wife

Chapter 47 I'll take care of it myself

Seeing Lin Ran's resolute expression, the caregiver knew there was no room for negotiation, and her pleading turned into vicious cursing.

"You won't listen to any explanation! Fine, I'm leaving. Let's see who's going to take care of this trouble after I'm gone!"

The woman left the ward cursing. Lin Ran's face darkened, but seeing her weathered mother on the bed, she ultimately did not chase after her.

But just a few minutes later, the ward door was kicked open with a bang, and Wang Mei walked in without any restraint.

"Lin Ran, how could you send the caregiver away? Who will take care of your mother if she leaves?"

A sharp voice rang in her ears. Lin Ran frowned, her eyes almost overflowing with dissatisfaction. She carefully covered her mother's ears before raising her head.

The caregiver who had just left followed behind Wang Mei, seemingly backed by someone. She had a smug look on her face and even snorted coldly when she saw Lin Ran's gaze.

"Keep your voices down, my mom is still here."

Wang Mei looked at the person on the hospital bed with disgust in her eyes, and her voice was even louder than before.

"You should explain the caregiver situation first."

"You're so ungrateful! This is a caregiver I hired at great expense. You think you can just let her go like that!"

Lin Ran sneered inwardly, but remained indifferent on the surface.

"She laid a hand on my mother. I'm already being very lenient by not calling the police on such a vicious caregiver."

After a pause, Lin Ran looked up and stared directly at the person standing behind Wang Mei, her tone carrying a hint of warning.

"I'll give you one more chance to leave, or I'll call the police."

Lin Ran waved her phone and gave a threatening smile.

Wang Mei hadn't expected this. Looking at Lin Ran, she hesitated for a moment but didn't say anything more.

The caregiver was already feeling guilty, and seeing that Wang Mei didn't say anything, she didn't dare to stay any longer and left the ward without looking back.

“If you fire her, you won’t get your money back, and I don’t have the money to hire a new caregiver.”

"I'll ask you for the money once I find it."

Lin Ran's lips curled into a mocking smile, and she spoke in a calm voice.

"How much is it?"

"Three hundred thousand!"

Wang Mei was unwilling to miss this opportunity to ask for money, so she rolled her eyes and gave a number.

Lin Ran nodded and responded.

"Three hundred thousand."

"Yes, 300,000. Caregivers are very expensive these days, you don't know."

Seeing that she had no doubts, Wang Mei's tone became more enthusiastic.

"Just give it to me now, so I can find a new one."

Wang Mei extended her hand without hesitation, but Lin Ran tilted her head, her face full of a smile that Wang Mei couldn't understand.

Not a single cent.

"No?"

Wang Mei's expression changed, and her eyes were full of disdain as she looked at Lin Ran.

"If we don't have one, we can't hire a caregiver. Our family's money doesn't grow on trees, so don't even think about getting money from the Ye family."

Lin Ran lowered her eyes and sneered, speaking casually.

"It's okay, you don't need to invite anyone, I can take care of it myself."

Yes, Lin Ran made this decision when she saw what the caregiver had just done.

I'll worry no matter who takes care of her, so I might as well take care of her myself.

"You can leave now. There's nothing more for you to do here."

After making up her mind, Lin Ran unceremoniously kicked Wang Mei out of the ward and slammed the door shut before Wang Mei could react.

Wang Mei almost got hit in the nose by that door, and after realizing what had happened, she started yelling and cursing.

"Lin Ran, you little bitch! How dare you kick me out!"

"You shameless bastard!"

"Ma'am, this is a hospital. Please don't shout."

Wang Mei glanced at the young nurse who had appeared beside her without her noticing, her eyes meeting with a dismissive look.

"Who do you think you are? What's wrong with me shouting a few words here?"

Hearing this arrogant tone, the nurse was quite angry, and her cheeks began to turn red.

"If you don't leave now, I'm calling security!"

Wang Mei frowned, about to speak, when she noticed that there were quite a few people around her, pointing and staring at her.

She prides herself on breaking into the social circles of wealthy women; wouldn't it be embarrassing if people saw her being kicked out of the hospital by security?

Thinking this through, Wang Mei didn't raise her voice any further. She just glared at them resentfully, snorted, and left the hospital.

Of course, how could she let that little bitch Lin Ran off so easily? She rubbed her eyes hard outside the Ye family's door until they were red and swollen before going inside.

Ye Minghua looked up when he heard the voice and his face immediately turned cold when he saw Wang Mei's expression.

"What happened? Didn't you go to the hospital?"

"Minghua, I..."

Wang Mei walked over with a wronged expression, took Ye Minghua's hand, and started crying.

"I ran into Lin Ran when I went to the hospital just now. Not only did she beat up the caregiver we hired, but she also scolded me."

Wang Mei knew that Ye Minghua cared most about her, so after saying those words, she started crying again and refused to speak no matter what he asked.

"Alright, stop crying. I'm going to go see what she's up to!"

Ye Minghua patted her shoulder reassuringly, then got up and left.

At the hospital, Lin Ran carefully moistened her mother's lips with a cotton swab dipped in water, and clicked her tongue in dissatisfaction when she heard the door being pushed open.

Why are there always so many annoying people coming to bother them, mother and daughter?

"Lin Ran!"

Ye Minghua looked at her coldly, without a trace of warmth in his eyes, even though the person lying on the bed was his former wife.

"What are you here for?"

Lin Ran put down what she was holding, stood up and looked straight at Ye Minghua. Ye Minghua's clear gaze made her feel a little flustered.

Snapped!

A crisp slap echoed in the ward.

Wang Mei, who was hiding outside, smiled with satisfaction upon hearing the voice.

It's no wonder that this bitch got beaten up for going against her.

Lin Ran bit her lip, reached out and touched her cheek, which was a little numb from the beating, and sighed softly.

"You came here just to hit me?"

"What are you saying? You're such a grown man, and you can't even show the most basic respect for your elders. I'm beating you today to make you come to your senses."

Respect your elders.

Lin Ran almost burst out laughing when she heard these four people.

However, mindful that her mother was still nearby, she didn't even utter a word of rebuttal, but simply kept her head down in silence.

Ye Minghua was surprised by her reaction, frowned but didn't say anything more.

"You need to be more sensible in the future. At least you should show some respect to your elders, okay?"

Lin Ran kept her head down, neither speaking nor making any movement, as if she were completely ignoring him.
