Page 575 of Assistant to My Contracted Husband

"Ranran... is that you?"

Jian Ran: "..."

This address of "Ranran" was truly flattering and surprising to Jian Ran.

After all... the term women liked being called was the likes of "bitch."

Gu Mochen furrowed his brows...

"Auntie, hello... it’s been a long time since we’ve met."

Jian Ran’s lips curved into a shallow smile as she saw Dong Qin again, her old wounds tearing open once more.

But... the path she had chosen was not to forget or to commemorate, but to face it with such an indifferent composure.

Thinking about it now...

She really had to compete with a woman like Dong Qin, and the final victory must be in her hands.

After all... she was decades younger than her...

It’d be more than easy to play her to death.

"Mo Chen... how come you and Ranran are together... You... didn’t you get married?"

Dong Qin feigned surprise as she spoke, her smile not reaching her eyes, seemingly affectionate but filled with venom in her words.

Jian Ran had long understood this kind of woman all too well.

Gu Mochen, of course, had faced many such encounters and remained composed.

"Hmm? Is there a problem?"

"Oh my... it’s really not Mom..."

Dong Qin wanted to claim she was the mother and successfully saw Gu Mochen’s eyes turn icy, exuding a daunting chill, which startled her, prompting her to quickly change her words.

"It’s really not that I’m criticizing you.

.. Although it’s said ’the red flag at home stands unwavering, while the colored banners outside flutter freely’.

.. you shouldn’t be so brazen. I heard that Sister Siming is pregnant.

.. with the months counted, it’s not a short time now.

.. I don’t know if it’s been found out whether it’s a boy or a girl. "

Jian Ran pursed her lips, her heart full of mockery towards Dong Qin.

To put it bluntly, Dong Qin wanted to probe Gu Mochen...

Whether the baby that Mrs. Gu was carrying was a boy or not.

After all... in a wealthy family, if it’s a boy, that’s the heir.

That’s a significant matter.

Although it’s said to pass on to the worthy, the old saying still holds, to leave the family property to the eldest son and legitimate daughter.

Jian Ran’s hand clenched, and hearing Dong Qin speak like this, she didn’t say a word, just stood quietly by Gu Mochen’s side.

But...

Seeing Dong Qin again, her palms were sweaty, and she couldn’t help trembling.

The past humiliations...

She still needed some time to recover from them.

Gu Mochen slightly squinted his eyes, looking at the woman in front of him who was flattering and probing with her tone, and he calmly responded.

"We haven’t had a check yet, but... whether it’s a boy or a girl, I’ll like it regardless. It’s nobody else’s concern."

Dong Qin’s face looked a bit ugly, that "nobody else" was clearly referring to herself.

The Gu Family was a juicy piece of meat, especially in Gu Mochen’s hands for many years. It had been prospering. Originally, Han Siming had gone abroad for studies and she couldn’t compete, so she always arranged for moles like Lan Xing to be hidden within the Gu Family.

Now, Han Siming had returned after completing his studies.

Such a juicy piece of meat...

She would never let it go, no matter what.

Thinking of this, Dong Qin’s eyes filled with sinister intentions.

"By the way, Mo Chen, you still don’t know about this Ranran, do you?

She... used to be Siming’s girlfriend...

Alas... unfortunately her father got involved in corruption.

.. went to jail... Her family background is not clean at all.

As for playing around with women outside, auntie must remind you.

.. don’t be so careless with your play."

Jian Ran: "..."

It was truly a vicious slap across her own face.
