Page 577 of Assistant to My Contracted Husband

...

Listening to Dong Qin’s instigating and morally pretentious scolding, Gu Mochen’s lips curled into a sneer, and he rebutted her sharply and cleanly.

"Hmm... as it happens, Jian Ran is Mrs. Gu."

He paused, his dark eyes certain, and he affirmed, "My woman, from beginning to end, has only been Jian Ran."

Dong Qin: "..."

What exactly was going on here?

Dong Qin was completely frozen in place.

Utterly incredulous at Gu Mochen’s words, she remained rooted to the spot...

This Jian Ran...

She had actually married Gu Mochen.

She was Gu Mochen’s wife... the mysterious Mrs. Gu that rumors spoke of.

Initially, it was her marriage to Gu Mochen that helped him obtain the shares of the Gu Family, allowing him to have the qualifications to take control of the Gu Family.

Dong Qin couldn’t snap back to reality for a moment, thinking about the scheme she designed back in the day...

These two people didn’t know at all, because... due to a subordinate’s error, she failed to capture any photos.

Thus, the matter has since faded into oblivion.

Some things, already four years past, should not be mentioned again, Dong Qin awkwardly averted her gaze, and said in a hushed tone, "Is that so... Ranran, you married Mo Chen, why didn’t you tell Auntie, even though you didn’t end up with Siming, Auntie still likes you, this young lady."

Jian Ran watched Dong Qin thoughtfully, her expression changing, a glint of darkness flickering in her eyes, always feeling that Dong Qin was scheming, speculating.

This woman, who tells people what they want to hear, could not be trusted at all.

Jian Ran’s lips edged into a sneer.

"Thank you for the high regard, Auntie, but I think... the thing from back then turned out just as you wanted, didn’t it?"

Gu Mochen then reached out to take Jian Ran’s small hand, pulling her protectively into his embrace.

"Presumably... Siming won’t need to introduce his sister-in-law to him anymore... as you said, they were quite familiar with each other before..."

Dong Qin: "..."

She had just tried to take the opportunity to mock Gu Mochen, but had not expected to be sharply counterattacked by him.

Jian Ran supported her husband’s lead, her lips forming a bright and radiant smile, shining brilliantly.

"Hmm, they say a woman is bound to meet a few jerks before she gets married... thank you, Auntie, for Han Siming from your family... although he is not a jerk, but because I’ve encountered so many, I have grown."

After speaking, Jian Ran looked at Gu Mochen, her smile becoming even more radiant.

That jerk was clearly meant for Dong Qin, and indeed, after hearing this, Dong Qin’s face became increasingly ugly, alternating between pale and flushed.

Gu Mochen: "..."

It truly was the smile of a beauty that could overthrow states and cities.

And even her way of insulting someone avoided using any dirty words.

Gu Mochen’s lips curved in satisfaction, his large hand encircling Jian Ran’s slender waist.

"It’s getting late, since you have come, we will leave first, after all, Siming is no longer a child.

.. although he did save Jian Ran’s life, Jian Ran is after all his sister-in-law, and it’s not proper to keep running to the hospital.

.. furthermore... the person who hit him was Chu Yingying, whom you arranged for him to meet on a blind date, I think, there’s a debtor for every debt, it’s no one else’s fault. "

After a pause, Gu Mochen continued, "I think, a man shouldn’t casually gamble with his own life as a ploy, trying to pull at a woman’s heartstrings with a love card, right? You know what kind of person Siming is better than I."
