Page 686 of Assistant to My Contracted Husband

Gu Mochen narrowed his long, inky orbs slightly as an intense chill settled around him, his gaze sharp as a sword as he swept it towards Dong Qin before him.

"Apologize."

Dong Qin: "..."

Gu Mochen’s aura was so powerfully sharp that it was terrifying...sending shivers down one’s spine.

Even though Dong Qin was Gu Mochen’s stepmother in name, with no small amount of age or experience, she still couldn’t help shivering in the face of Gu Mochen’s demeanor.

"Mo Chen... what I just... I didn’t see her... also... she is your daughter? She calls you daddy?"

Gu Mochen looked at Dong Qin with a stubborn determination, beginning to speak.

"Of course... Otherwise, what do you think? Is she Han Siming’s?"

Dong Qin’s heart was exposed by the man’s straightforward words, and she awkwardly averted her gaze.

"Originally... Siming and Jian Ran were in a relationship, whose child this is... is not certain."

Dong Qin’s heart was also in disarray...

It was the lunch break, and there weren’t many employees around, but since it was Gu Mochen and Dong Qin arguing, the other employees only dared to watch from afar, not daring to approach.

They didn’t know what exactly had happened...

Nor why there was suddenly another child out of nowhere.

...

Jian Ran watched Dong Qin daydreaming, her lips twitching slightly in scorn as she spoke.

"Mrs. Dong, you’re always thinking of seeking an heir for your son... to inherit Gu Wei’s fortune... That I can understand, but Tang Baobao, she is not a boy, nor is she Han Siming’s child... so please get rid of the thoughts in your heart."

After pausing for a moment, Jian Ran spoke softly, "Also... apologize, my daughter... although she’s not from some distinguished family, it doesn’t mean that you can kick and hit her as you please..."

Jian Ran’s beautiful eyes were bright as she looked at Dong Qin.

Even if she herself had been wrongly accused of plagiarism by Lan Xing, she could endure it.

The last straw... was seeing Tang Baobao being bullied.

Dong Qin, seeing Jian Ran and Gu Mochen standing their ground, making it look like the issue wouldn’t be resolved without an apology, had a hard time deciding.

Wang, the maid at her side, whispered a reminder, "Madam... Just apologize, otherwise... we won’t be able to leave... It’s better to retreat now and save ourselves from trouble."

Dong Qin pressed her lips together.

"Heh... Mo Chen, little friend... Just now, grandma wasn’t paying attention... sorry, ah... so sorry..."

Jian Ran’s lips curled slightly. Bullying her daughter... and just a verbal apology would suffice?

A glint of sharpness passed through Jian Ran’s beautiful eyes.

"It’s getting late... Mo Chen... Jian Ran, I’ll be leaving first..."

Having said that, Dong Qin made to leave the hall, but Jian Ran deftly tripped her up with her foot...

Immediately after, Dong Qin was seen crashing into the marble floor of the hall in an embarrassing tumble, with a loud thud, the force of it not at all light.

Jian Ran’s eyes narrowed slightly, watching the woman sprawl before her and curling her lips at the sight.

"Mrs. Dong... you know what they say... ’He who does nothing wrong fears not the knocking at his door’... you’ve done so many misdeeds, it’s only natural that retribution follows..."

Dong Qin: "..."

Dong Qin felt as if all her internal organs were about to be thrown out from the fall, crying out in agony.

"It hurts so much..."

"Madam... How are you?" Wang rushed over to her side, full of concern.

Jian Ran, on the other hand, looked on with cold eyes, her lips curled in a sneer filled with mockery as she watched Dong Qin’s pretentious agony.

Dare to bully her daughter... she would make her pay dearly.

Gu Mochen watched Jian Ran with satisfaction as she avenged her grievances, his thin lips quirking slightly.
