Chapter 189 No One Is Allowed to Lash Out at the Old Man
As soon as Xiao Jingchen finished speaking, not only was the maid shocked, but several of his subordinates also looked over in surprise.
It should be noted that this matter was already quite serious, yet President Xiao only forbade her from working at Xiao's company, which can be described as extremely magnanimous.
"Still not leaving?"
The maid paused for a moment, then turned and left in a panic.
When Lin Ran arrived, she saw her leaving in a flustered manner. She paused for a moment, then looked at Xiao Jingchen standing there with a hint of doubt in her eyes.
“Her mother is an old person here, and besides, Grandpa is fine this time, so we let her off this time. Besides…”
A hint of coldness flashed in Xiao Jingchen's eyes, and he didn't say anything more, but Lin Ran understood what he meant.
How could a mere maid, who had stayed in the villa for so long, possibly do such a thing? She was just taking the blame for someone else.
"I just made some soup. I'm going to take it to Grandpa at the hospital later. Would you like some?"
"it is good."
Xiao Jingchen's expression softened considerably, and he followed Lin Ran back to the living room.
On the other hand, the maid knew that being forgiven was already a great thing, so she left the villa with only some clothes and dared not take anything of value.
She was worried about her younger sister at home, so she took a taxi home as soon as she left.
"Sister, you are back."
As soon as the door opened, a little girl rushed over, speaking in a very affectionate tone.
She hugged her sister excitedly and then looked at her wrist.
The bracelet was still there, untouched.
"Xiao Fen, you didn't say anything you shouldn't have, did you?"
Suddenly, a voice rang out from the sofa. Xiao Fen trembled and looked over shakily, a hint of panic flashing in her eyes. She then instinctively hugged her younger sister tightly.
“Miss Ye, I didn’t say anything, and the young master knows nothing.”
"Didn't say anything? Do you think I'm stupid? With the old man in trouble, how could Xiao Jingchen possibly let you off the hook?"
Ye Chuchu refused to believe a single word Xiao Fen said. How could someone like Xiao Jingchen let her leave so easily?
As if remembering something, Ye Chuchu smiled and looked up.
"Okay, I believe you, but you can't stay here. How about I send you abroad?"
Hearing Ye Chuchu say that, Xiao Fen breathed a sigh of relief.
Even if she hadn't said those words, Xiaofen understood that she couldn't stay here any longer, and it was a good thing that someone was willing to send her away.
She hesitated for only a few seconds before raising her head with a determined look and nodding vigorously.
"Miss Ye, I am willing to leave."
"If you're willing, that's great. Now pack your things and I'll find someone to take you away."
Hearing Xiaofen agree so readily, Ye Chuchu breathed a sigh of relief.
Just as the two relaxed, the door was kicked open.
Zhou Qing led a few people in and barged in.
Ye Chuchu froze for a second, her first reaction was to run away, but this was just a dilapidated old neighborhood with only one gate to go out. At this moment, she was blocked by Zhou Qing and the others, and there was no way to get out.
Zhou Qing also spotted Ye Chuchu at a glance, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.
He paused for a moment, then walked over to Xiao Fen, who was standing to the side, without saying anything.
"Mr. Xiao said he asked me to see you off. Now pack your luggage, and the others will help you carry it."
Xiao Fen paused for a moment, a hint of guilt flashing in her eyes, and then took her younger sister to the bedroom to pack their things.
Suddenly, only Ye Chuchu and Zhou Qing remained in the small living room.
"Miss Ye, what are you doing here?"
Ye Chuchu originally wanted to sit on the sofa and pretend to be dead, but Zhou Qing's shout forced her to stand up. She pursed her lips and explained in a low voice.
"I just felt sorry for them and wanted to ask if I could help them."
"But now it's all good. With Brother Jingchen here, I don't need to worry anymore. I'll be going now."
After Ye Chuchu finished speaking, she fled the place as if she were escaping.
No matter how fast she ran away, Xiao Jingchen still found out about it.
Ye Chuchu was called into the office as soon as she arrived at the company.
"Brother Jingchen, is there something you need from me?"
Ye Chuchu secretly glanced up and saw the cold expression on Xiao Jingchen's face, which made her even more flustered.
Even the smile on his face became forced.
"Ye Chuchu, I can give you any compensation you want, but there's one thing: you're not allowed to lay a hand on Grandpa again."
Xiao Jingchen's tone was soft, yet carried a hint of undeniable seriousness.
Ye Chuchu felt even more panicked.
As expected, Xiao Jingchen found out about this.
Even so, she still held onto her last hope and looked over with a puzzled expression.
"Brother Jingchen, I don't know what you're talking about."
"I'm too worried about my grandfather to possibly lay a hand on him."
Ye Chuchu looked completely innocent, but Xiao Jingchen didn't feel sorry for her as before. He pursed his thin lips, and his voice was still chillingly cold.
"No need to explain, I won't pursue that matter."
"Don't let me find out about this again."
"You go out."
After saying those two sentences, Xiao Jingchen refused to speak any further. Even if Ye Chuchu wanted to say something more, she could only shut her mouth and turn to leave the office.
This was the first time in a long time that Xiao Jingchen had lost his temper with her so much.
Ye Chuchu was annoyed. She sat in her seat for a long time, fuming, before turning around and going downstairs.
No one stopped her along the way, after all, everyone knew that Ye Chuchu and President Xiao had a close relationship, and no one would want to go and make a fool of themselves.
Meanwhile, in the hospital, Lin Ran stood helplessly outside the ward, watching the scene inside.
No one knows what Butler Xiao said, but the old man looked very unwilling and refused to drink the bowl of medicine no matter what.
After looking at it for a while, Lin Ran sighed helplessly and pushed the door open to go inside.
Almost instantly, the old man, contrary to his usual behavior, snatched the medicine bowl, took a big gulp, and mumbled something under his breath.
"That's right. The old man only drinks his medicine so obediently because he sees the young mistress."
Lin Ran first put the soup she was carrying aside, and only spoke after watching the old man finish his medicine.
"Grandpa, didn't you promise me yesterday that you would take your medicine properly? Why are you not listening to me today?"
Lin Ran's tone was stern, and her eyes were fixed on Old Master Xiao. It didn't seem like she was visiting an old man, but rather like she was scaring a child.
"Who said I didn't take my medicine? Look, I've already taken it all."
After a pause, the old man seemed to realize that his words were not very convincing, and chuckled, trying to brush the matter off.
