Page 629 of Assistant to My Contracted Husband

Sometimes, Jian Ran felt she was being over-sensitive.

But... in a battle of personas, you can’t afford to lose your presence.

After all, if your aura slips, then no matter how hard you try to claw it back later, it’s useless.

So, now, since the other party had produced a witness and evidence claiming she was pregnant, and she couldn’t immediately produce solid evidence to refute it, it was better to hit the opponent where it hurt.

The corners of Jian Ran’s mouth twisted into a sardonic smile. Since Dong Qin was most afraid of her being pregnant, she was going to make her live in constant trepidation.

Yes, Gu Mochen didn’t just go to Italy to buy a baby crib for the child, he also bought baby bottles and decorated a nursery.

...

Secretary Zhou knew his place, hovering around Jian Ran, creating the illusion that Jian Ran was truly pregnant.

...

As she settled into the passenger seat of the car, Secretary Zhou couldn’t help but give a thumbs up and praise, "Miss Jian, you were truly amazing just now. Dong Qin’s face went completely dark, and Lan Xing, his face turned pale from fright."

Jian Ran: "..."

Listening to Secretary Zhou, Jian Ran thought it over carefully and realized that seemed to be the case.

"Hmm, why is Dong Qin so terrified of me being pregnant with a boy?"

"To speak the truth, it’s not about old customs, but there is a difference between boys and girls, and there are rules in the Gu Family, madam, perhaps you are not aware."

Jian Ran listened as Secretary Zhou addressed her sometimes as Miss Jian and other times as madam, and she couldn’t help but laugh, nodding her head.

"Hmm, what is it?"

"Well, there was a rule in the Gu Family that Mr. Gu, upon getting married, could take twenty percent of the shares in his wife’s name."

Jian Ran’s beautiful eyes widened: "..."

Wife?

"Madam, didn’t you know? When the old master and the old madam got married, they split the Gu Family’s shares... and allocated twenty percent of the shares for their future daughter-in-law, which is you. So after you married Mr. Gu, he acquired it."

"With the thirty percent left by the old madam plus your twenty percent, Mr. Gu became the largest shareholder of the Gu Family, and hence... he took the helm of the Gu Family."

Jian Ran: "..."

It seemed... her focus wasn’t really on this point.

Jian Ran tugged at the corner of her mouth, unable to resist asking: "Hmm... so you’re saying that the twenty percent of the shares that Gu Mochen holds are mine?"

"Yes."

Jian Ran’s eyes lit up. How much money would that twenty percent of the shares be worth?

Jian Ran pursed her lips...

Upon reflection, although she wasn’t interested in wealth that wasn’t her own, she still had a natural curiosity.

"Secretary Zhou, could I bother you to tell me the market valuation of these shares?"

"It’s probably a few hundred billion, haha, completely incomparable to Carlo."

Jian Ran: "..."

What do you mean incomparable... one is a multinational in Europe, the other is domestic... of course they can’t compare.

But a few hundred billion, that’s a fantastically dreamy number.

Jian Ran now fully understood, so that’s why Dong Qin hated her to the bone, because she had inadvertently helped Gu Mochen marry and directly take these twenty percent of the shares from the Gu Family.

Thus, a real grudge had indeed formed.
