"Jian Ran? Are you Jian Ran? I’m Chu Yingying..."

After looking at Jian Ran, Chu Yingying examined her for a moment and quickly recognized her.

Jian Ran gazed at the exquisitely made-up woman in front of her and, after a moment of serious thought, quickly remembered.

Chu Yingying, she and Han Siming’s high school classmate...

Wealthy heiress...

At first, she wasn’t, belonging to the mistress who rose to prominence, she was an illegitimate daughter, living in utter poverty, with a father who was a typical nouveau riche.

Later on, he made a fortune in real estate.

Afterward, Chu Yingying was taken back to her family.

Jian Ran’s eyes darkened...

In fact, she never had any fondness for this Chu Yingying.

She remembered how, at the start of high school, she would always stick close to her and speak ill of other girls.

Back then, Jian Ran had no interest in women who gossiped.

Now, even more so.

She vaguely remembered... when the Jian family was in trouble... her smile was brighter than anyone’s, and she told other classmates.

She had seen through her long ago, that she was no good, the Jian family was bound to collapse.

With the past events vividly before her eyes, if it were any other day, Jian Ran would have rushed forward to slap the woman hard across the face.

Now, all that was left for Jian Ran was an air of nonchalance.

"Miss Chu, long time no see."

When Jian Ran said this, she did not reach out her hand.

Because...

Shaking hands with people like her, she would need to wash her hands with disinfectant once home.

Then, when she would hold Tang Bao afterward, she would feel terribly sorry for Tang Bao.

Chu Yingying watched the petite woman before her, the corners of her mouth curling up.

Heh... Jian Ran seems to be doing not too badly.

She even has a child now, this child... couldn’t be with this man, could it?

Eldest brother... Chu Yingying’s expression changed as she knew Han Siming’s family history and couldn’t help but speculate that this man must be Gu Mochen.

Chu Yingying originally thought the man before her had a handsome figure, quite enchanting, with a "Kingly Aura" that looked down upon the world.

But she never thought that this person would actually be Gu Mochen...

He is alarmingly handsome.

Chu Yingying swallowed hard, this Gu Mochen... wasn’t he married already?

There was also a Mrs. Gu, and now the rumors are that Mrs. Gu is pregnant. So what exactly is Jian Ran’s situation now, a mistress?

Climbing the social ladder? Already has a child?

At that thought, Chu Yingying’s lips pursed with derision once again as she lifted her delicate eyebrows.

Back then, she had set her sights on Han Siming, trying by all means to seduce him, but Han Siming remained unmoved.

After they split, now she had steadied her feelings, and Han Siming was soon to be hers.

"Mr. Gu... Hello, it’s the first time we meet. Please take good care of me."

Chu Yingying looked at Gu Mochen with an attitude of nodding and bowing.

Seeing this, Jian Ran could only feel disdain in her heart.

Gu Mochen, however, furrowed his brows, his smile not reaching his eyes.

"Hmm."

Gu Mochen, just like Jian Ran, did not reach out to shake Chu Yingying’s hand either.

Chu Yingying’s originally extended hand became incredibly awkward, and she found herself at a loss for a moment.

Gu Mochen’s arms cradled Tang Bao, who could not resist speaking in a delicate voice, "Daddy... that auntie smells so strong, has she not bathed for several days?"

"Hmm?"

"I’ve heard that some people, if they don’t bathe, will spray themselves with lots of perfume. That way, they smell really sweet and can cover up the bad smell."
