Page 623 of Assistant to My Contracted Husband

"Madam Dong... The reason I’ve asked you here today is to help me prove my innocence in front of everyone.

.. These design drafts of Jian Ran and Bon’s collaboration, weren’t they the ones I sent to your home half a year ago, before Jian Ran had even joined the Gu Family, for you to help me decide on? "

Jian Ran: "..."

Half a year ago?

Half a year ago my ass.

These drafts were clearly given to Lan Xing just two weeks ago.

Listening to Lan Xing’s tearful complaints, Jian Ran now pretends in front of others like she’s completely unfamiliar with Dong Qin...

Heh... truly... collusion in desperation.

The others, hearing the phrase "half a year ago," were all shocked.

Does this mean Jian Ran really did plagiarize?

After all... Dong Qin and Jian Ran aren’t enemies, so why would she frame Jian Ran?

...

Jian Ran watched quietly as Dong Qin sat in Lan Xing’s place, their seats directly opposite each other, which meant that when Dong Qin spoke, she was looking right at Jian Ran with a mocking and disgusted gaze.

"Of course... I won’t hide from everyone that I’ve always personally liked Lan Xing’s design level. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have promoted Lan Xing to be the head of the design department. I had already seen all these drafts half a year ago."

Jian Ran: "..."

Jian Ran pursed her lips. Now that Dong Qin had said so, everyone naturally believed what Lan Xing had claimed.

It seems that, although there’s no solid evidence, they are determined to pin the label of plagiarism on me.

Unless... I can present other more convincing evidence that I’m not lying.

Jian Ran’s gaze darkened... even if the hard drive were repaired, the computer restored, proving that the drafts on her computer dated earlier than Lan Xing’s...

But that wouldn’t be enough to slap them in the face.

After all... according to Lan Xing, this happened half a year ago.

...

Dong Qin, seeing Jian Ran’s silent demeanor, thought she was completely baffled and spoke with disdain.

"I won’t hide from everyone that the type of person I despise the most is one who looks clean and delicate but engages in plagiarism.

Such behavior is absolutely not allowed in the Gu Family design department.

The last time Lan Xing came to report this to me, she mentioned a newcomer.

.. trying to climb the ranks by any means necessary, not only plagiarizing but also seducing her superior.

.. and even having private interactions with the superior’s wife. .. such actions cannot be tolerated."

Jian Ran: "..."

Heh...

Now, no one knows that I’m actually Mrs. Gu.

So according to Dong Qin, I’m seducing Gu Mochen, cozying up to Mrs. Gu.

Jian Ran remained silent, her beautiful eyes coolly watching the increasingly flustered Dong Qin, waiting for her final statement.

Secretary Zhou’s expression grew worse by the minute. This couldn’t go on.

After all, Mr. Gu had entrusted his wife to her, and as soon as something happened to Mr. Gu, these people had come knocking, acting arrogantly.

Clearly, they had premeditated this...

"Madam Dong, nothing has been settled yet. Is it not too early to speak now?"

The corners of Secretary Zhou’s mouth twitched, forming a faint curve.

Dong Qin then narrowed her eyes and said sharply.

"It’s not early... I think the truth is right in front of us. Who dares to question what I’ve said here? I am Gu Wei’s wife, Gu Mochen is my son, I am the matron of the Gu Family. Would I be irresponsible to my own company?"
