Daddy CEO's Beloved Wife

Ran Xueyi continued to adoringly rub her stomach as they went downstairs to the dining hall. Her mother didn't seem to take notice of it, or perhaps, she just didn't care about what her eldest daughter was doing.

If Mother Ran actually knew what was inside her daughter's mind and womb, she'd probably go ballistic and demand she abort the baby once it turns into a fetus!

After ordering the chef to make a quick supper for her daughter, Mother Ran finally asked what she had been longing to ask her daughter ever since she returned from the countryside.

"How are your grandparents?" she asked inquiringly. Mother Ra. Observed her daughter's face and saw nothing was wrong.

"They're doing alright."

"Do they have any plans to come here to the city? It has been a while since they've come to visit us." Mother Ran frowned with worry.

In the eyes of other people, they would think that Mother Ran was extremely concerned with the current patriarch and matriarch of the Ran family. But in her eyes, Ran Xueyi knew that her mother had other thoughts.

Since the moment Li Jing married Ran Mo Zheng, everyone thought that she was the Cinderella in the modern era. She was just a secretary with no family backing and didn't get to graduate college. She was only able to get the secretary position because Ran Mo Zheng's friend recommended her to him.

At that time, Ran Mo Zheng was still young and had just taken the position as the vice president of the Ran Corp., but when he saw Li Jing for the first time, he fell for her beautiful face and innocent smile.

He hired her and made her into his secretary. In no less than a month, their feelings for each other grew to the point that Ran Mo Zheng decided to get out of the engagement he originally had with another woman who came from the same wealthy background as he does.

Grandfather Ran and Grandmother Ran were extremely angered by his decision and threatened to take his position as vice president from him. However, Ran Mo Zheng insisted and knew that his parents couldn't take him away from being their heir as they had no other son or legal heir who could take his place.

Ran Xueyi's grandparents also knew about this fact and did not know what to do. In the end, they didn't agree to their marriage nor tried to stop him. However, they never showed their faces at their wedding and only showed up when Ran Xueyi was born.

Li Jing initially thought that once she gave birth to a child, they would come back to the family mansion in the city and like her. However, she didn't know that her scheme to control and seduce Ran Mo Zheng was seen through by his parents and didn't change their views on her even after two children were born in their family.

But despite their hatred and dislike towards Li Jing, they loved and adored the eldest daughter, who was never afraid of this old couple and often came to the countryside to visit and care for them.

And now that Ran Xueyi had just returned from the countryside, Ran Xueyi knew that her mother was thinking of using her to get her grandparent's heart.

In the past, Ran Xueyi tried to make her mother's image good in front of her grandparents. But now... Ran Xueyi didn't plan on doing that ever again.

Let's see who will lose this game.

Ran Xueyi stared at her mother and shook her head as she said sarcastically, "Mother, grandpa and grandma are doing well in the countryside. Why would they want to come to the city where all the pollution and dirty things are everywhere?"

That's right. Her grandparents are old already. Ran Xueyi won't allow anyone to corrupt them.

Mother Ran didn't seem to hear the sarcasm and hidden meaning in her words. "But Ran Yue's birthday is in just a few days. Don't they have plans to come to celebrate it with her?"

"Who knows... Maybe if Ran Yue visited the countryside and begged them to come. Then, they might come here." Ran Xueyi told her mother and sneered.

Ran Yue has never stepped a foot in the countryside and disdained the thought of going there as though it was the dirtiest place in the world. Ran Yue didn't want to show anyone that her grandparents lived in the countryside and embarrass herself as an actress.

However, what Ran Yue didn't know was that nothing was really different from the city and the countryside. On the contrary, her grandparents' house in the countryside was bigger and wider than their mansion in the city, and they owned a vast land in the countryside, making them a landlord in the countryside.

But Ran Xueyi won't enlighten Ran Yue since the latter detested coming there for the sake of her celebrity image.

Mother Ran was struck dumbed at her words. She then said, "That's right. Maybe if Ran Yue calls them and asks them to come, they will attend her birthday party." She took out her phone and said, "I'll call Ran Yue and tell her to call your grandma."

p Ran Xueyi watched as her mother made a fool out of herself in front of her like a clown. In time, the chef served a plate of steak and red wine on the table.

After thanking the chef, Ran Xueyi took a sip from the rim of the wineglass and coldly smiled.
