The Cunning CEO's Contract Wife

Chapter 357 Lin Qing Returns

Lin Qing was stunned for a few seconds before she reacted and greeted Sui Sui somewhat nervously.

These two children, Mingnian and Suisui, are about the same age, so why do they look so different?

Sui Sui seemed to sense something too. She blinked her eyes and suddenly leaned over, mimicking Niannian's gesture by rubbing against Lin Qing's hand.

"Grandma is very beautiful."

Lin Qing was taken aback. Looking at Sui Sui's obviously ingratiating eyes, her heart melted instantly.

No matter what kind of personality the child has, he is her beloved grandson.

"Sui Sui is so good at talking, she always knows how to make me happy."

"Grandma, Grandma, we praise you every year, and you can talk so well every year!"

"Yes, yes, you too, you two are both good kids."

With the two children involved, the atmosphere immediately softened.

Seeing this, Xiao Jingchen breathed a slight sigh of relief, glanced at the time, and a barely perceptible smile appeared on his lips.

"Sui Sui, Niannian, take your grandma inside to rest. I'll go fetch your mommy."

"Know it!"

The two children exchanged a glance and were about to push Lin Qing's wheelchair when the servants in the villa saw this and quickly came over and pushed Lin Qing into the house.

"Oh my, young master and young lady, you should just ask us to do this kind of thing. Please don't do it yourself."

"If I get hurt again, I won't be able to explain this to the master and young master."

Sui Sui and Niannian didn't say anything more, they just nodded and answered obediently.

"Okay, Auntie!"

Outside FG Company, Xiao Jingchen's gaze softened as he saw that familiar figure.

"Why are you here?"

Lin Ran had originally come out with Xiao Lu. When she saw Xiao Jingchen standing there, she thought something had happened at home again, so she hurriedly ran over.

"I had nothing better to do, so I came to pick you up from get off work."

Xiao Jingchen chuckled softly, opened the car door, watched Lin Ran get in, returned to the driver's seat, and said nothing more before stepping on the gas and driving back to the villa.

During this time, no matter how Lin Ran asked, Xiao Jingchen just smiled and refused to say anything.

Lin Ran's excitement turned into annoyance.

"Xiao Jingchen! Are you mute? Why won't you answer any of my questions?"

"You'll see for yourself when you go in."

Seeing Lin Ran's annoyed expression, Xiao Jingchen's lips twitched. He almost lost control and blurted everything out, but fortunately he managed to hold back.

Lin Ran was furious upon hearing this. She gritted her teeth and walked into the living room, intending to assess the situation before giving him another dressing down. However, upon seeing the person sitting in the living room, she was still somewhat dazed. After a long while, she weakly called out.

"mom?"

Lin Qing couldn't help but laugh a few times at her incredulous expression.

Since she fell ill, she has always maintained a calm and composed demeanor whenever she sees her daughter. This is the first time I've seen her so emotionally expressive.

That's right, that's how a normal person behaves.

"Xiao Jingchen, what's wrong with you..."

Lin Ran's voice choked with emotion as she looked at the man standing behind her, her eyes filled with gratitude.

Especially when she remembered how loudly she had cursed him on the street, her guilt deepened.

"This is what you wanted to do, as I said, I will help you accomplish it."

The atmosphere in the living room gradually became strange. Even Lin Qing, an elder, vaguely felt that something was wrong, let alone the two little ones.

Especially Niannian, with her two chubby little hands covering her face, but her two eyes were sticking out, staring at the two of them without blinking.

"Mommy, how embarrassing!"

"Alright, Niannian, let your brother take you upstairs to play."

Lin Suisui smiled happily, winked at Lin Ran, and pulled Niannian upstairs.

Even Lin Qing called the maid to push her back into her room.

The living room was suddenly left with only the two of them.

Lin Ran glanced at Xiao Jingchen, her face flushed with an alluring blush.

As Xiao Jingchen approached step by step, Lin Ran's heart began to beat faster.

"Ranran..."

Xiao Jingchen spoke with deep affection.

"What...what happened?"

Lin Ran's heart was in her throat, her eyelashes trembling as she eagerly awaited what would happen next.

"The investigation results for those drugs are in, and I've also prepared the evidence that those people drugged them. Just say the word, and I'll send them both to prison immediately."

Lin Ran never expected that Xiao Jingchen would say these things. After a brief moment of stunned silence, a complex feeling welled up in her heart.

So Xiao Jingchen really takes her words seriously.

"I'll give you time to think it over. Tell me when you've made up your mind."

"Or, you could ask your mother for her opinion."

Just as Lin Ran was about to nod, she suddenly realized something, turned her head in surprise, and stared at Xiao Jingchen with wide eyes.

What did you just call my mom?

"Of course it's Mom. We're husband and wife, so your parents are my parents too."

Hearing Xiao Jingchen say this, Lin Ran opened her mouth, but couldn't find the words to refute him.

"Um, I'll go tell my mom about this first."

Lin Ran blushed slightly, a rare sight on her face. She turned and ran away, finding Lin Qing's room and slipping inside.

"Ranran? What brings you here?"

Hearing Lin Qing's obviously teasing tone, Lin Ran's face flushed again.

"Mom, how can you talk like that too!"

"By the way, I have something very important to tell you."

To avoid further teasing from her own mother, Lin Ran awkwardly changed the subject and revealed the truth about the poisoning.

Lin Qing's gentle expression gradually changed, her face filled with disbelief.

She knew Ye Minghua didn't like her anymore, and even knew how he treated their daughter, but she never suspected anything else.

Ye Minghua would actually poison that woman for her sake.

Thinking of all the offenses she had suffered over the years, Lin Qing almost burst into tears.

She blinked hard, trying not to lose her composure in front of her daughter, but after holding back for a long time, tears still streamed down her face uncontrollably.

"mom……"

Lin Ran felt a pang of sadness watching this. She opened her mouth, but in the end, she said nothing and silently stayed by his side.

A silent sob echoed in the bedroom.

After a while, Lin Qing finally stopped.

His usually indifferent face was now filled with hatred in his eyes.

The love that had been there since childhood finally vanished completely at this moment, even turning into hatred.

There was also a hint of guilt that was barely perceptible.

If she hadn't been blind to fall for Ye Minghua, how could her Ranran have suffered so much injustice from childhood to adulthood?

"Mom, if you really can't bear to part with them, I'll let them off this time."

Lin Ran was originally determined to take revenge, but seeing Lin Qing's heartbroken state, her resolve softened.
