Page 676 of Assistant to My Contracted Husband

Jian Ran spoke with sincere honesty, evoking sympathy.

When Jian Ran spoke about not caring for fame and fortune, she actually harbored doubts within her heart.

Hmm... If there was a salary increase, that would be even better...

Promotion and pay rise often go hand in hand; one is hardly seen without the other.

Dong Qin knew that Jian Ran was intentionally exaggerating the severity of the matter to force her to apologize in public.

What a clever and witty little girl...

Dong Qin truly felt that she had been mistaken in her judgment at first.

She thought the little girl was stubborn, but not only that... over time, the girl had become adaptable and cunning, playing dumb to catch the wise, and her skills were formidable.

A glint of sullenness flashed through Dong Qin’s eyes. Upon hearing Jian Ran’s words, she pursed her lips, her narrow eyes brimming with rage and fury, yet she had to force a smile in front of others.

Seeing the woman who clearly wanted to lash out but had to restrain herself, Jian Ran put on an act of being wronged and continued to speak.

"Mrs. Dong... could it be... that you are really as others say, someone who bullies others by abusing your power for personal gain...?"

At this point, Jian Ran’s eyes welled up as she looked pitifully at the furious Dong Qin in front of her, feigning innocence, a stark contrast to the aggressive woman from before.

Dong Qin: "..."

Today... being pushed onto the stage like a duck driven to the roost, Dong Qin understood that she had to apologize.

She couldn’t escape it at all...

Dong Qin narrowed her eyes upon hearing Jian Ran’s words, her hands clenching into fists, especially when her gaze landed on Jian Ran’s abdomen, she felt an itch in her teeth with hatred.

Son-born privilege, huh?

Heh... the waters of the Gu Family run deep... She’ll see how Jian Ran manages to end up.

...

Experience does outdo youth after all. Dong Qin stood up and walked over to Jian Ran, immediately extending her hand to take Jian Ran’s hand, her voice pretending to be very sincere.

"Ranran, listen to you... don’t call me Mrs. Dong anymore... just call me ’auntie’... I only have two sons, and I’ve always wished I had a daughter... Seeing how bright and spirited you are, I really wish I had a lovely daughter like you."

Jian Ran listened to the woman’s nauseating voice and her lips curled up in a cold sneer.

Two sons... Dong Qin was including Gu Mochen as one of hers.

She considered him as such so openly... was Gu Mochen aware of this?

Heh... she truly didn’t see herself as an outsider.

Besides... mentioning a daughter... in her heart, she probably wished she could strangle me right now.

Jian Ran pursed her lips, watching the woman hypocritically holding her hand. She narrowed her eyes nonchalantly and then actively withdrew her hand from the woman’s grip. Having Dong Qin hold it made her scalp tingle and upset her entirely.

"Um..."

"This plagiarism incident... is something auntie did wrong. I was deceived by someone untrustworthy, thinking that Lan Xing was an honest child. I didn’t expect that she.

.. would be such a person... Sigh, I truly didn’t know that she did such disgraceful things while she was the head of the design department. "

Jian Ran heard this and feigned surprise, stretching out her hand to cover her lips.

"Oh... Mrs. Dong, you didn’t know... As far as I know, it was you who personally promoted Lan Xing from an employee to the position of manager. I thought that everything she did was with your guidance and assistance by her side."

Because of Jian Ran’s words, Dong Qin was so angry she could vomit blood.
