The Cunning CEO's Contract Wife

Chapter 96 Mr. Xiao must have his reasons for doing this.

Ye Chuchu felt tired after only a few days at work. Rather than sitting in the office daydreaming, she preferred to go shopping.

However, she only dared to think about these things casually in her heart. In order to get closer to Xiao Jingchen, she would not give up this job.

She never expected to hear this when she returned to the villa after a long day.

She was downstairs when Zhou Qing spoke and heard everything clearly.

His previously carefree expression turned pale instantly, and he dropped the water glass he was holding.

The old man has woken up, which means that what she did before will be exposed, right?

Ye Chuchu immediately felt that the villa was full of danger. She looked upstairs and, after confirming that no one was paying attention, quickly left the villa.

Late at night, there was a knock on the door of the Ye family villa. Several servants opened the door impatiently, and their expressions were somewhat surprised when they saw Ye Chuchu.

"Young Miss, why are you back?"

Ye Chuchu had no time to pay attention to him and hurriedly went upstairs to Wang Mei's room.

"Chuchu? Why are you back at this hour?"

Wang Mei looked behind her and, seeing no one else, pulled her into the house.

"Mom, something terrible has happened! That old geezer is coming back! He's actually woken up!"

Ye Chuchu looked flustered, her hands tightly gripping Wang Mei's sleeve.

"What? He actually woke up?"

Wang Mei's expression changed, and she immediately became nervous.

Although Old Master Xiao and Xiao Jingchen didn't have a good relationship, she knew that the old master still had the authority to make decisions about the Xiao family.

It's not a good thing that they angered the old man.

Wang Mei frowned and thought for a long time, a hint of determination flashing in her eyes.

"Chuchu, if Xiao Jingchen really brings this up, just say you know nothing about it, understand?"

"No matter what, you absolutely cannot let Xiao Jingchen despise you."

"Mom will be counting on you from now on."

Upon hearing this, Ye Chuchu hugged Wang Mei with a look of deep emotion, and the mother and daughter embraced affectionately.

But Wang Mei didn't see the smug glint in her obedient daughter's eyes, out of her sight.

Just to be on the safe side, Ye Chuchu also moved back to the Ye family home from the villa, ostensibly because she missed her mother.

On the top floor of the Xiao family's building, Ye Chuchu, as always, tossed the documents in her hand onto the table, checked the time, and carried coffee into Xiao Jingchen's office.

No sooner had she left than Zhou Qing went over, organized and packed up the documents, left a few backup files, and then left.

"Brother Xiao, this is coffee I made especially for you. I hope you won't mind it."

Ye Chuchu shyly handed the cup forward.

"By the way, Brother Xiao, someone just delivered some documents. I'll bring them in for you now."

Ye Chuchu continued talking to herself, and from beginning to end, Xiao Jingchen didn't even raise his head, nor did he say a word to her.

A few minutes later, Zhou Qing came in and brought over the documents he had just received from Ye Chuchu.

Xiao Jingchen glanced at it briefly, then, noticing something, gave a cold smile.

"There is indeed a problem."

He pulled out one of the documents, pointed to a number, and sneered, "The decimal point here is shifted one place to the right. Once this is signed, even if we sell the Xiao family, we won't be able to afford to pay for it."

Zhou Qing looked in the direction he was pointing, and her expression changed.

Clearly, he understood as well.

"Go and find out who made this document. Remember, don't alert them."

Xiao Jingchen remained calm. Zhou Qing responded and hurriedly left, her admiration for her boss rising to a new level.

Sure enough, President Xiao must have his reasons for bringing Ye Chuchu to work here.

With all the evidence in place, Zhou Qing quickly tracked down the "undercover agent".

Apart from him and Xiao Jingchen, no one else in the company knew anything, and they were not even aware that a colleague had disappeared without a trace.

Meanwhile, Xiao Jingchen, who should have been relaxing for a while, was frowning and staring at his phone, looking at the names saved on it with disgust on his face.

"Mr. Xiao, shouldn't we answer the old man's call?"

Zhou Qing listened to the ringing bell for a long time before finally speaking cautiously.

"Ah."

Having received permission, Xiao Jingchen snorted and said nothing more.

The next second, the old man's loud voice rang out from the phone.

"Xiao Jingchen, why did you leave me here?"

"I'm telling you, if you..."

"Lin Ran and I will come pick you up tomorrow."

Xiao Jingchen completely ignored the old man's dissatisfaction and said something in a flat voice, but to his surprise, the old man really didn't say anything more, and the phone was hung up.

A minute later, the bell rang again.

"Come pick me up now, and bring Ranran with you."

Xiao Jingchen frowned subconsciously, looked at the documents in front of him, and after a long while, he responded.

"understood."

After hanging up the phone, Xiao Jingchen pinched the bridge of his nose, his voice full of exhaustion.

"Go and take Lin Ran to the parking lot. We'll be there now."

Zhou Qing looked up in surprise. This was the first time Xiao Jingchen had ever put down his work to do something else.

So, Lin Ran, who was working hard, was suddenly called out.

"Assistant Zhou, what exactly are we going to do?"

Lin Ran asked with some dissatisfaction, "Zhou Qing just said that Xiao Jingchen wanted to see her, but now it's clear that she wants to leave the company."

She hasn't finished her work yet!

"Madam, it's the old master calling. He says he wants you and Mr. Xiao to pick him up right now."

"It's Grandpa."

Lin Ran repeated it, and the annoyance on her face immediately dissipated a lot.

Seeing her face change so drastically, Zhou Qing felt a pang of sympathy for her boss, Xiao.

The elevator suddenly fell silent; even though it was only a dozen floors away, time seemed to slow down.

"Well, actually, Mr. Xiao asked Miss Ye to come to the company to find out the hidden mole in the company, there is no other reason."

After a long pause, Zhou Qing couldn't help but blurt it out.

Seeing Lin Ran's somewhat surprised look, she silently prayed that President Xiao wouldn't find out about this. Then, she gritted her teeth and told him everything that had happened in the past few days.

"So that's it."

Lin Ran blinked, her tone tinged with admiration.

Sure enough, how could someone like Xiao Jingchen neglect his work because of his feelings?

Thinking about her attitude towards Xiao Jingchen yesterday, Lin Ran felt a little guilty, which was unusual for her.

So, the moment Lin Ran saw Xiao Jingchen in the parking lot, she gave him a sweet and obedient smile, full of flattery.

Xiao Jingchen's heart softened, but he showed no other expression on his face. He simply opened the car door and urged them on.

"Hurry up, Grandpa is getting impatient."
