Chapter 157 of "Assistant to My Contracted Husband" starts revealing surprises: More importantly, Jian Ran didnât possess the greed that other women had for endless desires.She... Read on!
More importantly, Jian Ran didnât possess the greed that other women had for endless desires.She kept her distance, and so Gu Mochen had not investigated any information about her, which naturally did not include knowing about Han Simingâs affair.
âActually⌠President Gu, Miss Jian used to belong to a prominent family too, she is the daughter of Jian AnguoâŚ
The Jian Family had some cooperation with the Gu Family before, do you remember?â
Jian Anguo, The Jian FamilyâŚ
that man who had a hand in both politics and the business world to varying degrees.
He had a daughter at home, a prized jewel, said to be extremely doted on by her fatherâŚ
Gu Mochenâs eyes narrowed as he pondered for a moment, soon arriving at an understanding; afterward, he heard that Jian Anguo had fallen from grace four years ago, and then the Jian Family gradually faded out of sight.
âHmm, continue, so Jian Ran took one million before and used it on Jian Anguo, right?â
âYes, two years ago, Jian Anguo needed a large sum of money for the second trialâŚ
The timing coincided with Miss Jian agreeing to marry you.â
âHmm.â
Gu Mochen pressed his lips together, a glint of emotion flashing through his eyes.
Jian RanâŚ
His lips tightened slightly; indeed, this woman had left a peculiar impression in his heart.
âAt the same time, four years ago, when Jian Anguoâs incident occurred, followed by the disappearance of Miss Jianâs mother, it wasnât long before Miss Jian broke up with Siming.
At that time, it was saidâŚ
The Jian Family was destitute, truly penniless, and most relatives were worried about causing trouble and kept their distance.â
Gu Mochen pursed his lips, understanding that when a tree falls the monkeys scatter; it was a very normal occurrence.
âHmm.â
âBut whatâs peculiar is that Miss Jianâs family ran into trouble during her freshman year of college, but she insisted on continuing her studies.
Not long after the turmoil settled, she chose to drop out instead, and there has been no news of her for a long time.
Also, two years ago, Jian Anguoâs second trial did require a lot of money, costing several hundreds of thousands, but not a million.
However, further investigation revealed that Miss Jian seemed to be always short of money, leaving us unsure where she spent it.â
Hearing Secretary Zhouâs words, Gu Mochen furrowed his brows.
âWhy canât these most basic details be found out?â
âReporting to President Gu, Miss Jian has been extremely low profile since the Jian Familyâs incident, so, my apologies, this is all we can find out for now.
This period doesnât include whether Miss Jian changed her identity to avoid Han Siming or Qin Mu.â
Hearing Secretary Zhouâs words, Gu Mochenâs gaze grew deeper, Jian Ran, how many more secrets are you hiding from me?
âHmm, I understand now.â
âYes, President Gu, then Iâll take my leave first.â
âAlright.â
When Jian Ran returned to the design department, she always felt as if someone was thinking about her, and couldnât help but sneeze.
Who could be thinking about her?
Jian Ran couldnât resist stretching out her hand to touch her nose, only to see Secretary Zhou approaching her respectfully; Jian Ran quickly stood up.
âSecretary Zhou, whatâs the matter?â
âMiss Jian⌠Since President Gu has given you two raises this month, Iâm here to show you the raise documentation.â
Jian Ranâs lips twitched slightly, thatâs right, one time five yuan, another time twenty yuan.
Gu Mochen was clearly appeasing someone asking for alms, but even the smallest meat is still meat.
Jian Ranâs lips curved, and she whispered, âRight, in total twenty-five yuan.
Thank you, Secretary Zhou.â
âYouâre welcome, to serve Miss Jianâitâs my honor.â
âThen do you know that your boss is so stingy?â
Secretary Zhou: ââŚâ
ThatâŚ
Iâm not quite sure.
President Gu is usually quite generous, but I donât know why he is so meticulous when it comes to Miss Jianâs salary and bonuses.
It might be that he enjoys teasing her a bit too much
âActually, President Gu does care about Miss Jian quite a bitâŚ
Hehe.â
Jian Ran didnât feel too affected by Secretary Zhouâs words; being by Gu Mochenâs side for a long time, Secretary Zhou had developed a habit of smiling without genuine mirth.
Like nowâŚ
His smile didnât reach his eyes.
The other female staff in the design department, seeing Secretary Zhou coming, couldnât help but gather round to gossip.
âSecretary Zhou, you never mentioned before that Mrs.
Gu is actually a designer, and that her work is so outstanding.â
Hearing the other womenâs teasing words, Secretary Zhou unconsciously glanced towards Jian Ranâs location and coughed, âMrs.
Gu prefers to keep a low profile.â
âYeahâŚ
She wants to stay low key, yet she managed to make Yuncheng Cityâs most eligible bachelor her husband.
She has no right to be low key.â
Jian Ran: ââŚâ
These people, really, need to give her a few hundred jolts every day.
Jian Ran tugged at the corner of her mouth.
âActually, if you stop paying attention to her, gradually sheâll become less interesting.â
âThatâs right, Miss Jian.
We fully agree with Mrs.
Guâs words,â Secretary Zhou naturally supported completely.
âSigh, I still wish I could be colleagues with Mrs.
Gu.â
Hearing the womanâs words, Jian Ran felt an inexplicable thump in her heart.
âCough, cough, itâs a bit stuffy here, you two, Iâll go out for some fresh air.â Jian Ran, almost fleeing, dashed out of the office.
A place with too many women is full of gossip.
âMiss JianâŚâ A voice called from behind her, causing Jian Ran to pause, and she saw a handsome man approaching.
It was Pan Ming, the manager from the administrative department.
Seeing Jian Ranâs cool and delicate appearance, Pan Ming quickly blushed and appeared somewhat flustered.
âJian RanâŚ
I was wonderingâŚ
cough, if you have a boyfriend.â
Jian Ran: ââŚâ
Is thisâŚ
a confession?
The next moment, before Jian Ran could even think about responding to Pan Ming, she saw Gu Mochenâs tall figure approaching her, her expression subtly changing.
Why such a coincidence?
