Daddy CEO's Beloved Wife

'Ding!'

The elevator stopped at the eleventh floor of the building where the chairman's office was located. The secretary sitting behind her table glanced in time when the doors split open to reveal who came up to the office.

The secretary frowned and asked, "Do you have an appointment with the chairman?"

Ran Xueyi smiled at the secretary and said, "Yes."

"What is your name, miss?" The secretary dutifully asked.

Ran Xueyi glanced at the door of the chairman's office and said, "Ran Xueyi... But it doesn't matter since the Chairman will surely let me in his office."

Ran Xueyi guessed right when she thought that the secretary was new. Maybe she was recruited and got the position as the chairman's secretary a year or a few years after she left the entertainment scene, or else, the secretary wouldn't be stupid enough to stop their moneywalking star at the hallway.

As she had expected, the secretary ran through the list of people that really had an appointment with the chairman and frowned when she saw no 'Ran Xueyi' on the list. She raised her head up to say that she can't allow the woman to enter, but she was too late...

Ran Xueyi had already walked up to the door of the chairman's office and pulled the door open when the secretary looked up.

"Miss! You can't go inside..."

The secretary tried to stop her, but Ran Xueyi had already entered the office. So, she could only stand beside Ran Xueyi in panic while looking anxiously at the chairman seat where an old man was holding a document in his hand.

The old man looked up; his head of grey white hair stood out the most and his cold black eyes.

"Chairman... I'm sorry for disturbing you. I tried to stop her..." The secretary fearfully told the chairman who just waved his hand to stop her.

"I know her. Get out and make sure not to let anyone enter this room," the chairman said.

The secretary was shocked and apologized once again before closing the door behind her. Somehow, she felt some kind of familiarity towards the woman who barged inside the chairmna's office but couldn't tell where she met her.

"What are you doing here?" The old man asked.

Ran Xueyi didn't quickly respond as she walked to the couch and sat on it. Then, she lifted one leg to put it over her other leg.

Then, she turned her face to glance at the old man.

"Chairman Yi... How are you?" she smiled at him.

Chairman Yi sighed and answered, "If you're asking about my health... I'm doing fine. But what are you doing here? It's been five years since you came to visit."

Ran Xueyi laughed. She looked around the office and saw how some things in the room were bought from a high-class place and the prices were naturally as high as brand name.

"I'm here to end my collaboration with Star Studios." Ran Xueyi told him.

Chairman Yi was alarmed and said cautiously, "Are you doing this because you're getting married? Ran Xueyi... although you're no longer acting and involving yourself in the industry doesn't mean that you can easily cancel your contract."

Chairman Yi was afraid that she didn't understand and continued to say, "And even if you get married, there's no problem if you don't cancel your contract with us. I'm sure young master Yang won't mind it."

Suddenly, a laugh resounded inside the room.

Ran Xueyi sneered coldly as she looked at Chairman Yi. "Chairman Yi, do you think I don't know what you're thinking right now? "Ran Xueyi can't cancel her contract no matter what. If she cancels her contract, my money-walking star will be gone'', isn't that what you're thinking deeply?"

Chairman Yi froze. He didn't think that she would bluntly say what he was exactly thinking. He coughed slightly to cover up his momentarily mistake and wanted to say something to refute her words, but Ran Xueyi's voice sounded again.

"You keep on talking about cancelling and not cancelling the contract, but Chairman Yi... Haven't you heard?" Ran Xueyi casted a wicked smile on her lips as she rested her elbow on her knee. "My contract with Star Studios expired 3 years ago."

The moment these words were spoken, Chairman Yi's expression on his face was difficult to look at. It was extremely ugly and dark as he couldn't force himself to smile or express his anger.

He actually forgot about this fact.

That's right... Ran Xueyi's contract ended three years ago. At that time, he was really busy travelling the world and making sure that the other rising artists in the Star Studios were getting enough resources while also keeping his mistresses company.

Chairman Yi thought that Ran Xueyi forgot that her contract expired since she didn't say any word about it and since Yang Baihua and her family forced her to stop from acting and showing herself in public, he assumed that Ran Xueyi won't say anything. And that's probably why he was quite daring to use Ran Xueyi's name as a forefront of the company to attract old and new fans and let them view other artists under Star Studios.

He also assumed that since she's busy getting ready for her marriage, she won't ever visit the company to talk about her contract.

Yet, here she was.

Ran Xueyi didn't allow Chairman Yi to get out of this situation and explain himself. She stood up from the couch and approached his table. She put her palm against the table and said, "And besides that... I want to end my collaboration with Star Studios and get my due payment from all the money you've taken using my name these past few years."
