Page 576 of Assistant to My Contracted Husband

At the entrance of the hospital room:

Jian Ran looked at the woman in front of her spouting nonsense, and a mocking smile curved at the corners of her lips.

This Dong Qin...

was truly persistent in her evildoing, now slandering her in front of Gu Mochen.

It seemed... she was under the misconception that Gu Mochen intended to promote her as the head of the design department, aiming to drive a wedge between Jian Ran and Gu Mochen.

Jian Ran’s smile was a faint arc, dealing with someone like Dong Qin by hurling insults and slapping faces...

Indeed...

She had absolutely no interest.

Dong Qin was kissing up to Gu Mochen, but her flattery had hit the horse’s hooves instead.

Because not only was she Gu Mochen’s woman on the outside, but she was also the rumored Mrs. Gu.

With that thought, Jian Ran’s demeanor turned even colder.

Upon hearing these words, Gu Mochen’s entire aura turned icy, frighteningly so, his dark eyes emitting a chilling glare.

Jian Ran... now was the woman he cared about the most...

This woman, daring to slander Jian Ran in front of him,

was truly seeking death.

At the thought, Gu Mochen’s sharp gaze swept towards Dong Qin in front of him, causing her to inexplicably shudder.

Gu Mochen... although she had married into the Gu Family for several years,

Gu Mochen... had always been an unfathomable sort of person...

Two years ago, they got the marriage certificate, she successfully acquired shares of the Gu Family, took the helm, and now the Gu Family was thriving.

That Mrs. Gu, she had tried every means to find out who she was.

But to no avail.

Now... Gu Mochen, relying on Jian Ran, was about to take over the position of head of Lan Xing’s design department directly.

This man had grown powerful, and now, thinking about uprooting her entirely from the Gu Family.

She didn’t care whether the Gu Family was Gu Mochen’s mother’s dowry or not, what she wanted, she must have...

She wanted to be the most powerful woman in Yuncheng City.

Even though Dong Qin was accustomed to large-scale scenes, the intimidating aura emanating from Gu Mochen still made her somewhat nervous, and she spoke with caution.

"Mo Chen, Auntie has said all this, don’t be angry, ah. After marrying your father, Auntie has sincerely treated you as her own son. Auntie really likes you... and loves you dearly, that’s why she advised you kindly."

Gu Mochen, upon hearing Dong Qin’s words, curled his lips in a sneer.

Regarding him as her son, she probably only wanted to take away the Gu Family.

Gu Mochen responded in an extremely calm manner, "In this lifetime, even if my mother were alive, I would have her cherish Jian Ran, and not to gesture instructively at her. Now... you dare to gesture instructively at Jian Ran... you are utterly unqualified to do so."

Dong Qin: "..."

Dong Qin did not expect Gu Mochen to be so direct and blunt with her, her expression changing.

"Mo Chen... there’s Mrs. Gu in your family, an outside woman, illegitimate and unfitting."

Her implication was that Jian Ran was just one of the random women Gu Mochen played with outside.

This Gu Mochen wasn’t any sort of good man either.

Playing with women was not an issue for him at all.

...

Jian Ran, however, because Gu Mochen brought up his mother, was somewhat stunned as Gu Mochen rarely mentioned his mother in front of her.

Moreover, his mother would never blame her... This was undoubtedly the greatest affirmation a man could give to his wife.
