Chapter 2 I Have to Marry Even If I Don't Want to
The surgery was quick. When Lin Ran woke up, it was pitch black all around her, like hell.
"anyone there?"
Lin Ran asked softly in a trembling voice, but no one answered. She took a deep breath, slowly got off the operating table, and walked out the door.
"Hey, you're awake. If you're awake, hurry up and leave. Don't take up space."
The doctor looked at her with disdain and spoke with extreme impatience.
"Doctor, where is the person who brought me here?"
Lin Ran asked, trying to be as good-natured as possible.
"You mean President Ye? He went home a long time ago."
The doctor waved his hand, "Are you leaving or not? If you're not leaving, I'll have someone kick you out!"
"Let's go, I'm leaving..."
Despite her physical discomfort, Lin Ran turned and left the dilapidated building.
It was already afternoon when she got home. As soon as she stepped into the living room, she was slapped across the face.
Ye Chuchu crossed her arms and looked at Lin Ran with a sneer, "After doing something like that, you still have the nerve to come back?"
Lin Ran slumped to the ground, looking up at the woman in front of her. "What do you want?"
"What am I doing? Of course, I'm here to teach you a lesson on behalf of Dad!"
Ye Chuchu sneered, "Butler Li, why doesn't this kind of despicable person just die?"
Butler Li chimed in, "She's utterly shameless! If I were her, I'd just go find a place to hang myself!"
"Bitch!"
Harsh words kept entering Lin Ran's mind, and her already pale face turned even paler. She pinched her palms hard with her fingertips to keep from crying.
"Butler Li, you're just standing there? She's capable of seducing men, where's her sense of shame?"
Ye Chuchu made sarcastic remarks, and only when she saw Lin Ran's body trembling incessantly did she throw down the medicine in her hand with satisfaction.
"Here, don't say I don't care about you. This is medicine for your wound. Apply it yourself. If the Xiao family notices something's wrong when you get married, you'll be in big trouble!"
How dare you try to take something from a woman like that?
I really don't know how to live or die!
Once the Xiao family's 500 million is in hand, Xiao Jingchen will be hers sooner or later!
Ye Chuchu spat at Lin Ran and left arrogantly with Butler Li.
Lin Ran stared at the medicine on the ground, feeling a sharp, stabbing pain in her heart, as if she were being pricked by needles. All the grievances that had been building up since last night burst forth at this moment.
But Lin Ran didn't even dare to cry loudly. She knew in her heart that in this so-called family, she was just an extra person, always had been.
Lin Ran didn't know how long she cried, but she stopped when her head started to feel dizzy. She picked up the medicine that Butler Li had thrown on the ground and shakily returned to her room.
Her beautiful eyes were empty. Lin Ran entered the bathroom like a puppet, turned on the shower, and desperately washed her body.
Her fair, slender fingers slashed fiercely across the wounds and the dense hickeys...
No matter how hard Lin Ran tried, the man's scent remained, and the marks on her body could not be erased. Those marks constantly reminded her of what had happened.
"Dirty, so dirty..."
Looking at the marks on her body in the mirror, Lin Ran's tone was full of disgust. She tightened her grip until her skin turned red before stopping this self-destructive behavior.
She didn't happen to be at that hotel that night; it was Wang Mei who lied to her.
Although she didn't know who the man was, Wang Mei disliked her so much, so what good person would she be looking for?
Lin Ran gave a bitter smile, turned off the tap, and left the bathroom.
After being rinsed with hot water for a while, Lin Ran's pale face regained some color. She sat on the bed and carefully applied the ointment to her wound.
Peng!
The door was suddenly pushed open, and Lin Ran turned her head to see Butler Li's sinister face as he reached out to grab her.
Lin Ran's small frame was no match for the plump butler, and she was dragged out before she could even struggle.
Even a rabbit will bite when cornered, let alone Lin Ran. Without hesitation, she opened her mouth and bit the butler's wrist, and took advantage of the pain to let go and ran outside.
"Lin Ran, where are you thinking of going?"
Downstairs, Wang Mei stood in the doorway, watching Lin Ran struggle in a disheveled state, a hint of pleasure flashing in her eyes.
"I advise you to stop struggling, otherwise, the video from that night..."
video?
Lin Ran was stunned, her pale face flushed with anger.
"You are mean!"
"You don't need to tell me that. As long as you obediently marry Xiao Jingchen, those things will naturally not be seen by others."
Wang Mei spoke very casually, as if she was certain that Lin Ran would compromise because of this matter. As for the video... she didn't have the time to do those things.
"Whatever you want."
After a while, Lin Ran's voice, carrying a hint of determination, rang out in the quiet living room.
"What did you say?"
"I said, do whatever you want, I don't care."
Lin Ran curled her lips into a bitter smile.
So what if the video was released? She never wants to follow that vicious woman's orders again, not even once.
Looking at her resolute expression, Wang Mei was surprised and was about to say something when Ye Minghua spoke up.
"Lin Ran".
Lin Ran's heart skipped a beat when she heard that calm, expressionless voice. She turned to look at her father, curious about what he would say. Perhaps she didn't realize it herself, but deep down she still hoped that this man would protect her like her father would.
The next second, Lin Ran's beautiful idea was completely shattered.
"Just listen to me and marry him. You don't want your mother to die, do you?"
"If you don't marry her, I'll make sure she never has a moment of peace, even in death!"
Lin Ran's eyes widened in disbelief that this man would utter such cruel words. Her heart felt as if it had been gripped by a giant hand, and an excruciating pain spread throughout her body.
"You're a madman, you're a madman..."
Terrification and anger overwhelmed Lin Ran. She couldn't even think straight, and her body lunged at Ye Minghua, hitting him with all her might.
"Lin Ran, you have no choice."
Ye Minghua coldly looked at the girl rushing towards him, and spoke heartless words.
"You have to get married for your mother's sake."
A hint of anger flashed in Lin Ran's dark pupils, and tears fell like beads from a broken string. She gasped for breath, as if she wanted to say something, but no sound came out.
She turned her head to look at the doctor behind her, only to find that she was holding a syringe, and the liquid was already being injected into her body.
A familiar wave of dizziness washed over her, and Lin Ran felt as if she had stepped on a ball of cotton. She fell to the ground with a thud, her face pale, and closed her eyes.
The "relatives" around her were like indifferent bystanders, watching Lin Ran fall to the ground without anyone catching her, letting her fall like that.
"Quickly! Arrange surgery for her immediately!"
Ye Minghua beckoned to the doctor and instructed, "It doesn't matter how she is, but you must restore her body to its original condition. There absolutely cannot be any mistakes!"
