Page 677 of Assistant to My Contracted Husband

Jian Ran did it on purpose... Jian Ran must have done it on purpose...

She pretended to be innocent, but her words were actually sharp and to the point.

Dong Qin listened to the laughter and whispers from below, which was filled with discussions. Initially, nobody knew, but now, well, everyone knew.

Dong Qin’s face looked terribly unpleasant, as she forced a smile at the corners of her mouth.

"Auntie... Auntie was indeed short-sighted, deceived by... false appearances..."

Upon hearing this, Jian Ran curved her lips slightly.

"Yes... when people get older, their vision tends to blur... Mrs. Dong, I understand... I truly do understand," Jian Ran said.

Dong Qin: "..."

Jian Ran took pleasure in seeing Dong Qin infuriated yet unable to say anything, just fuming in anger, her beautiful eyes soft and changing like water.

"Uh... Look at me, I really can’t speak properly.

.. I don’t even know how to sugarcoat my words, sigh.

.. I’m just honest... I say it as I see it.

.. So when I see the wrinkles on your forehead, I can’t help but tell the truth, Mrs. Dong.

Don’t be angry... Lan Xing might be silver-tongued, but I’m not so skilled in flattery.

.. I just focus on getting things done," Jian Ran said.

Jian Ran overshadowed Lan Xing and then shamelessly praised herself.

Secretary Zhou couldn’t help but give Jian Ran a thumbs up upon hearing this. Indeed, the lady of the house was the best.

Dong Qin suppressed the fury in her heart, wishing she could tear Jian Ran to pieces, yet she kept insisting that she wasn’t angry, not angry at all.

"Ran Ran... Auntie hasn’t seen someone as adorable as you in many years."

Jian Ran: "..."

Both of them harbored their own thoughts.

Just yesterday, they were openly confrontational, but today they are here... engaging in a war of words.

The onlookers might think it was affection... but only a few astute people could see the undercurrents.

In the workplace, it’s always a game of move and countermove, of deceit and trickery.

"Well then, auntie, you should apologize to me. I’ve been waiting for a long time. Originally, as an elder... it wouldn’t be appropriate for you to do this, but seeing how sincere you seem, I... I’ll agree to it then," Jian Ran said.

Dong Qin: "..."

After speaking, Jian Ran sat down like the victim, letting Dong Qin stand in front of her.

Having pushed the conversation to this point, Dong Qin gave a resentful look at the woman in front of her, then forced a small face of contrition.

"This matter... it’s all my fault... I was deceived by others earlier.

Jian Ran is innocent. All these things were orchestrated by the design department of Lan Xing.

I want to clear Jian Ran’s name once again.

From now on, no one in the design department, including everyone in the Gu Family, is allowed to gossip," Dong Qin declared.

Jian Ran listened to the woman’s lukewarm words, knowing they were not sincere.

Jian Ran curved her lips slightly, probably feeling that it was about enough... After all, you can’t push someone too hard, almost is just fine.

Even a cornered dog will jump over a wall, let alone someone as sinister and cold-blooded as Dong Qin.

Jian Ran spoke as if she understood the situation.

"Thank you, Mrs. Dong, for being so sensible... I’m very grateful, um... today... in order to clear my name, I even invited some media journalist friends," Jian Ran announced.

After finishing, Jian Ran’s gaze fell onto the journalists in the corner of the conference room and she spoke.

"My journalist friends... what do you think... Is today’s news report okay?"

"It’s great, it’s really good... This news has a huge angle... and Mrs. Dong also made an appearance... A company director personally apologizing to an employee is definitely explosive news, it’s fantastic," the journalists replied.
