you know, it’s just a title, huh, from Miss Jian to Madam, and suddenly your price goes up…”
Jian Ran: “…”
Jian Ran felt utterly disheveled.
According to Secretary Zhou’s logic…
It was because her title had changed that Gu Mochen gave her a raise.
Jian Ran felt bitter inside.
Why…
After working so hard and conscientiously, she ended up getting only a 52 yuan raise in total.
That’s the disparity.
Jian Ran tugged the corner of her lips, forcing out a hint of a smile.
“Then, Secretary Zhou, congratulations to you, mmm…
If you had told me that earlier, knowing it would work…”
“Sure, sure…
Madam, if you ever give birth to a little prince for President Gu, I think he’ll likely throw a celebration for everyone, even handing out bonuses to us all.”
Jian Ran tugged her lips again, this celebration for the whole world, yet she had no part in it.
She didn’t understand why she couldn’t feel happy about it.
“Mmm…”
Jian Ran and Secretary Zhou took the elevator straight down to the first-floor lobby, and since the parking garage was quiet, Secretary Zhou had parked right outside the lobby entrance.
Jian Ran’s gaze fell on where she had been attacked yesterday, and her beautiful eyes flickered…
Yesterday, Gu Mochen was stabbed right there by Chu Yingying.
At the thought, Jian Ran still felt a sense of lingering fear in her heart.
“Stop right there.”
Just as Jian Ran and Secretary Zhou were about to leave the lobby, a chilling female voice called out from behind them, low and hoarse…
Clearly the voice of an older woman, arrogant and imperious, like a queen.
Jian Ran’s lips curled into a cold smile, what a coincidence.
Jian Ran pursed her lips, exchanged a quick glance with Secretary Zhou, and then turned around to face Dong Qin and Lan Xing, her eyes cold and her mouth sporting a faint curve.
“Madam Dong, what’s the matter for stopping me so suddenly?
I believe…
I made myself very clear in the meeting room, didn’t I?
Mmm…
Could it be that age has brought deafness, your hearing’s not that good?”
With those words, Jian Ran struck right at Dong Qin’s sore spot, her voice carefree as she watched the woman’s face turn angry, her smile brightening like a warm sun in winter.
“You…”
Dong Qin was livid, just about to raise her hand, when Jian Ran preemptively said,
“Madam Dong…
Don’t blame me for not kindly warning you, mmm, this is the Gu Family after all…
People here might not know who Mrs.
Gu is, but they sure know who Madam Dong is.
If Madam Dong publicly hits someone…
and it’s a minor employee of the Gu Family, I imagine…
it will definitely make the front-page headlines tomorrow…
I’m truly, utterly looking forward to it.”
“You…”
Dong Qin was even more outraged, not expecting Jian Ran to turn the tables on her so eloquently, infuriatingly sharp-tongued.
Back then…
four years ago, when this woman tied her hair in a ponytail, she was just as sparing with her words, and her sharp tongue spared no one.
“Jian Ran, you really are something, not realizing the truth until death stares you in the face.”
Jian Ran’s lips twisted into a cold smirk, hearing Dong Qin’s words, then directly responded,
“Mmm, Madam Dong, I can’t understand what you’re saying…
It’s clearly you who started targeting me…
even going as far as slapping the plagiarism label on me, and now you’re saying that I don’t see the truth until it’s too late…
I’ve always been kind-hearted, not stooping to the level of someone half buried in the ground like you…
Mmm, look at those wrinkles on your face…
fear they really mean…
you’re about to enter the grave.”
Jian Ran’s smile was radiant, seemingly concerned that her words weren’t venomous enough, she added another sting,
“To be blunt…
I’m saying you’re old.”
Secretary Zhou: “…”
The way Madam is acting is really badass.
Lan Xing had also not expected Jian Ran to openly provoke Dong Qin, growing somewhat…
uneasy.
Jian Ran really had an imposing aura.
Jian Ran wasn’t actually fearless; it was just that always appearing apprehensive made the other party truly believe she was scared.
They even…
wanted to have her killed.
Such a woman was truly vile.
Jian Ran couldn’t help but look at the woman in front of her with rolling disgust in her heart.
“Hmph…
you…
you shameless woman, when I made Siming break up with you, it was the right decision.”
Upon these words, Jian Ran’s lips curled with sarcasm.
After four years, she was very glad that she had broken up with Han Siming.
Otherwise…
she feared spending every day facing such a woman would leave her with nothing in this life to cherish.
“Mmm…
the feeling is mutual…
Remember to remind Han Siming, when we meet again, to call me ‘sister-in-law’.”
With that, Jian Ran checked the time on her phone and directly cut to the chase,
“It’s getting late, Madam Dong…
I have things to do, I’ll take my leave now.”
“Wait, Jian Ran, don’t you have any respect for elders?
Since I am your stepmother, as well as Gu Mochen’s, without my orders, you’re not allowed to go anywhere.”
She really took herself as the authority.
Jian Ran narrowed her eyes slightly, not bothering to respond, and headed straight for the lobby exit.
“Gu Mochen…
why did he suddenly go on a business trip to Italy?
Did something happen?”
Jian Ran paused in her steps as she heard Dong Qin’s questioning voice from behind.
Some things could be kept from others, but not necessarily from someone like Dong Qin.
Jian Ran tugged at her lips, then with a hint of mockery, turned around, her voice irresistibly charming,
“Mmm…
of course, there’s a reason…
He had to buy a crib for the little treasure in our belly…”
At this, Jian Ran beamed sweetly, witnessing Dong Qin’s face turn pale, then smirking with satisfaction, she left the two women behind and walked towards the exit.
Secretary Zhou suddenly felt a burst of exhilaration and quickly followed Jian Ran’s footsteps.
Leaving Dong Qin and Lan Xing nearly bursting with rage.
