Page 574 of Assistant to My Contracted Husband

But the bills continued to pile up, battering Jian Ran incessantly...

Jian Ran felt as if all her limbs were being pounded, her head swirling. And it wasn’t just that—breathing had become extremely difficult.

After a long time, she finally heard Dong Qin’s extremely annoyed voice rise.

"Jian Ran, don’t fucking push your luck... In this life... I think you will never have this much money again... Heh, now, I’m splurging on you—this is me giving you face, do you understand?"

Jian Ran: "..."

She had offered to give someone money, but was rejected...

They clearly stated they didn’t want the money, nor did they want her son.

Yet this woman became furiously ashamed.

Now she desperately tried to keep the person, using money to humiliate...

How can there be such a ruthlessly vicious woman?

Jian Ran even felt that she had been blind to have fancied Han Siming.

Jian Ran was in a terrible state, her hair disheveled, traces of blood remaining on her cheeks, still delicate and beautiful, yet not losing her grace; instead, she looked dignified, composed even in danger.

"Is that so? I used to respect you as an elder... now I realize... I take it back... you don’t deserve it... Since all you see is money, why don’t... you take your money and your son, and live well, Han Siming... I, Jian Ran, don’t want him... not now, nor will I ever again."

After finishing her words, Jian Ran’s lips curled into a bright, radiant smile.

It added a touch of softness and tragedy.

It was her who didn’t want his son.

Under Dong Qin’s dumbfounded gaze, Jian Ran stepped directly on the banknotes that had just been thrown at her, and then... without looking back, she staggered towards the door.

Dong Qin: "..."

The fucking bitch.

Originally thought it was a very simple matter...

Yet she had encountered a stubborn one.

Dong Qin was seething with anger.

Stubborn trash.

...

The memory stopped abruptly.

When Jian Ran came back to her senses, she had unconsciously walked up to Dong Qin.

Her small hand was still clasped in Gu Mochen’s palm...

Jian Ran’s eyes darkened...

In the past, she merely saw this elegant and dignified woman as Han Siming’s mother.

But she didn’t know her name...

Turns out, she was Dong Qin.

In name... she was Gu Mochen’s stepmother, and... now her own stepmother as well.

Jian Ran’s lips curled into a scornful sneer, laced with irony...

This woman...

She despised so much that even a glance at her now, though her heart remained as calm as still water, could not help but make her feel nauseous.

She even... had forgotten how she managed to leave the private room that night.

Gu Mochen knew that Jian Ran had a past encounter with Dong Qin, a flicker of darkness crossing his deep eyes...

Previously, he had not sent someone to inform Dong Qin, but it was only a matter of time before she would learn of Han Siming’s trouble.

And this time, Han Siming’s situation did not look optimistic.

In Gu Family, Dong Qin was not idle, pulling strings at Lan Xing behind the scenes. Lan Xing was like a puppet, under the control of the woman before him.

...

Dong Qin’s gaze fell on the fresh and elegant woman before her, her eyes widened in surprise, and then she looked again at the man beside her, Gu Mochen, her face changing color.

This... isn’t that Jian Ran?

How could Jian Ran be with Gu Mochen...

Could it be that they knew about four years ago... what happened between them...

As Dong Qin’s thoughts reached this point, her heart jolted with fear, but she managed to keep her facade composed, looking casually at the woman before her.
