Daddy CEO's Beloved Wife

Chapter 542 7 Feet Deep



Chapter 542 7 Feet Deep

Ran Xueyi couldn't tell what the woman called Miss Chen wanted at a glance. Miss Chen seemed to appear to be expressing her gratitude genuinely with her words. She especially exudes the na?ve and innocent aura around her that could make anyone let their guard down around her.

But that was precisely what alarmed Ran Xueyi.

She didn't know whether she was constantly surrounded by people who had evil thoughts towards her or that she was just being overly guarded, but she didn't like being close to a stranger she met just for a few minutes.

However, Miss Chen was a step faster.

Miss Chen's smile became wider and wider, as the thought of bringing harm to someone unrelated to her could make Cao Yujin pleased with herself.

Just then…

A hand settled on her waist, pulling Ran Xueyi towards a hard, muscular wall behind her.

While no one could still react to his action, Song Yu Han stretched out his other hand and gripped Miss Chen's wrist tightly until a shriek came straight out of her throat.

"Ahhhk!"

Miss Chen tilted her body on one side as the pain on her wrist became even more intense by the seconds that passed.

"What are you doing?! Ah, you're hurting me!" Miss Chen half-screamed and half-groaned.

As she screamed, those who were closer to where they stood turned their attention towards them. They saw a foreigner holding a woman's hand. They frowned in concern, but nobody stepped forward to inquire what happened.

Miss Chen panicked as she was caught and tried to shout again, "Help! He's lying! This guy is trying to molest me!"

Molestation? At the party?!

This immediately caught their attention again. This time, more people were piqued by what was happening, as the party was getting boring.

"Did she say she was being molested?"

"Is it real?"

"Could be…"

"But could anyone be so arrogant and bold to do that in the party?"

"Should we help her?"

"Wait… look at that man."

Everyone whispered amongst themselves, deciding whether to take action and help the woman. Some didn't believe it, however.

Especially after seeing the trio that surrounded the woman who shouted.

From the top of their heads to the tip of their shoes, the trio that was around the woman looked exquisitely charming and enchanting. With each person possessing different qualities to their features and beauty.

They frowned when they realized this.

Cao Qing turned to the crowds with a smile. He offered a quick explanation to the small commotion they caused, "Please don't let this distract you. My friend just caught someone trying to steal from him. Sorry, sorry."

The people recognized Cao Qing instantly. He was, after all, a family member of the host of the party. They smiled back at him understandingly before turning around. Some of them continued to watch.

"Let her go."

Ran Xueyi looked at Miss Chen emotionlessly as she told him to let her go.

Frowning in disagreement, Song Yu Han reminded her, "She tried to harm you just now."

As he said this, he twisted Miss Chen's hand so that the needle in her ring shone under the lights on the ceiling.

Cao Qing cursed out when he saw the needle, "Damn it, how vicious can you be?" he then turned to Ran Xueyi and said in support to Song Yu Han's words, "Ran Xueyi, sister, I think you should listen to your husband. It's better to not let go of her lest she harms you again."

Ran Xueyi shook her head despite their dissuasion. She said, "Now that her intention is exposed, there's no way she would succeed in harming me."

Song Yu Han looked at her for a brief moment as if to confirm with her that that's what she really wanted before immediately letting Miss Chen go as if her wrist was something dirty, he badly needed to discard.

He believed Ran Xueyi. Besides, he was there to protect her even if she was wrong.

Ran Xueyi continued to stare at Miss Chen, who was sweating profusely at the pain throbbing on her wrist, as well as the fear of what they'll do to her now that her intentions were revealed.

She was even more afraid of what will happen if they went to Cao Yujin and told her of her failing her task.

"Does it hurt?" Ran Xueyi's voice sounded above her head, making Miss Chen focus her attention back to her.

She was surprised at Ran Xueyi's question. Miss Chen shuddered and stilled when Ran Xueyi's cold fingers touched her hands.

Miss Chen stuttered as she answered, "Y-yes."

"I don't think so…" Ran Xueyi stepped forward. Behind her, Song Yu Han and Cao Qing's bodies were taut and tense, as if they would leap to action the moment Miss Chen made a move to attack her.

Miss Chen turned pale and couldn't help but step back as Ran Xueyi stepped forward again. A part of her was compelled to stay where she stood and focus on Ran Xueyi.

Ran Xueyi did not take her eyes off Miss Chen as she said, "You never know what real pain is until you experienced it first-hand." Suddenly, the corners of her lips were upturned as she glanced down at the ring on Miss Chen's hand, "Here, let me help you out."

Before Miss Chen could say a word, Ran Xueyi 'helped' Miss Chen bring her two hands together, as if to pray.

Then, Miss Chen, felt the prickling pain of the needle stab through her other palm. A gasp tore from her throat, but it was swallowed as the words that left Ran Xueyi's lips whispered to her ears.

"Pray, Miss Chen. Pray…" Ran Xueyi said. "Not to any God. But to Cao Yujin. And that she may help you this time."

Miss Chen's lips uttered some unintelligible words, but the drug from the needle worked too fast for her to convey what she wanted to say clearly.

In less than thirty seconds, Miss Chen's eyes rolled to the back of her head and the strength in her body were gone as it tilted backwards.

Cao Qing moved his feet quickly to catch Miss Chen. When he finally saved her from bashing her head against the floor, he sighed and turned to Ran Xueyi.

"What do you want to do next?" Cao Qing had already expected that Song Yu Han's wife was not ordinary. So, her words and action just now did not surprise him.

"Send her to Cao Yujin. She's the one who started this, she needs to put an end to it as well," Ran Xueyi raised her eyebrows and looked at him, her tone flat.

Cao Qing nodded. He didn't expect for Ran Xueyi to show compassion to somehow who lost herself to her fear and tried to harm someone else.

These types of people, like Miss Chen, call themselves weak against the strong and wealthy. But in truth, they were woven from the same fabric. Their true nature only comes out when they think they are above someone else.

In addition, what Miss Chen did earlier, have no hesitation in it. It seems that she was not new to harming someone with the same method.

So, was pity and compassion necessary towards someone like Miss Chen?

Ran Xueyi shook her head. In their world, only those who held sympathy towards someone who once harmed them can answer that question.

Sadly… they're all located seven-feet deep in the ground.
