Page 583 of Assistant to My Contracted Husband

"You... you... you’ve hidden it so well, you’re terrifying," the woman said.

Jian Ran looked dispassionately at the woman in front of her and pursed her lips.

"Everyone has their private life and their little secrets. I believe that my marital status is not something I should go around shouting about to everyone... These are my basic rights."

She paused briefly, then her beautiful eyes rested on the woman before her as she continued,

"Lan Xing... if I’m not mistaken, I know that you and Dong Qin are plotting something. Remember, what goes around comes around, and what I want to say is... don’t get too deep into it, or you might not be able to get out."

Having said this, Jian Ran’s lips curved into a bright, faint smile.

"By the way... Lan Xing, I wonder if you still remember this place?"

At these words, Lan Xing’s heart jolted again, and she swallowed hard.

"I... I don’t remember."

"Luckily, I have a rather good memory... When I first came to the Gu Family, not wanting to make enemies unintentionally, all I did was come out of Gu Mochen’s office, yet you insisted on splashing scalding coffee on me.

You accused me of trying to seduce Gu Mochen and then pretended in front of everyone that it was just an accident. "

Lan Xing: "..."

Jian Ran remembered it well, particularly because... Gu Mochen was also there when she changed clothes.

The two of them were in the restroom, and, being alone together, it was awkward.

Lan Xing trembled nervously.

She had only thought that Jian Ran had some connection with Gu Mochen and was just one of his women on the side, someone who could not be brought out into the open.

The real master of the house was still Mrs. Gu of the Gu Family.

But now... Jian Ran was far from some improper woman; she was the renowned Mrs. Gu.

Lan Xing feared that one careless move could bring disaster upon herself.

When that time came...

There would be absolutely no room for maneuver.

"Mrs. Gu... Jian Ran... just forget about what happened before, it was all unintentional on my part, not what I truly wished for. I was just giving you a warning as a superior."

Jian Ran, hearing this, looked at the woman who was telling blatant lies without any remorse and continued,

"Oh? Hmm, a superior giving an employee a warning... I wonder if the Gu Family knows about this superior of yours who is full of lies, like... being very close to Mrs. Gu... being one of Mrs. Gu’s own people."

"My memory isn’t that bad, but I truly don’t remember you being one of my people."

Lan Xing: "..."

Lan Xing felt as if she had been slapped hard and invisibly, the force behind it immense.

It almost made her head spin.

Lan Xing swallowed hard, sweating profusely from her back, her entire body trembling severely.

Originally... she had just wanted to use Mrs. Gu’s name as backing to show off in front of everyone.

She never imagined it would backfire so completely.

This... Mrs. Gu was none other than Jian Ran before her...

She had actually boasted in front of Jian Ran about how familiar she was with Mrs. Gu.

"I... Jian Ran..."

Jian Ran looked at the woman in front of her who was completely bewildered and had lost her color, and she didn’t want to pursue the matter further. She pursed her lips.

"If there’s nothing else, I’ll be going. Oh, and... thanks to Manager Lan Xing for personally kneeling down to clean my shoes at the Gu Family’s annual event. It was such a stark contrast to how you usually strut around, trampling on people’s dignity. Truly like two different people."
