Chapter 45 - Mrs

Gu, You Care a Lot About Other Men (2) At that, Jian Ran smiled broadly and took her seat, causing Lan Xing’s face to turn pale once again.

“I don’t even know Mrs.

Gu at all.”

To the people of Yuncheng, Gu Mochen had absolute control, an enigma, whose true face was as mysterious as Lushan.

However, even more mysterious was Mrs.

Gu, who had married into a wealthy family two years prior.

The reason she had claimed to be close with Mrs.

Gu in front of everyone—being Mrs.

Gu’s current favorite—was to deter others from trying to seduce Gu Mochen, showing them that she was watching.

By pushing everyone else aside, she would have her chance.

Lan Xing felt her weak spot had been hit, especially since Jian Ran alluded to her having ill intentions towards Gu Mochen, throwing her into a state of panic.

With Jian Ran’s words, the other female employees immediately gathered around.

“Manager, please put in a good word for us, hehe, President Gu must really love Mrs.

Gu.

They’ve been married for two years, and he brings her to every annual party.

There’s never been any scandal.

These days, where could you find a perfect husband like President Gu?”

“Yeah, Manager, I want a raise too.”

“Manager, you’re Mrs.

Gu’s confidante, you’re so amazing.”

Because Lan Xing had spoken so loftily before, at this moment, she flushed with embarrassment and began to speak nervously.

“Alright, alright, get back to work, I’ve got it under control.”

Jian Ran’s lips curled into a sneer.

Didn’t Lan Xing know that one lie requires endless cover-ups?

She was eager to see how Lan Xing would try to cozy up to her that evening.

As soon as it was time to leave work, Jian Ran quickly packed up her things and hurried to the garage.

Soon after, Gu Mochen drove up and stopped right in front of her.

Jian Ran pursed her lips and got into the car.

Just as she got in, her phone rang.

It was a call from Qin Mu.

“Ran, tonight’s Gu Family’s annual party is at Totem.

I’m tied up and can’t come to pick you up; shall we Meet at the venue?”

“No need, I have something else, I won’t be going tonight.”

Jian Ran intertwined her fingers, silently apologizing to Qin Mu in her heart, she didn’t mean to lie on purpose.

She had already lied about her husband being dead when it came to Gu Mochen, so naturally, she had to cover up the lie, but it was definitely a white lie.

Upon hearing Jian Ran’s response, Qin Mu immediately said, “Then, I won’t go either.

I’ll pick up sweet Ran, and the three of us will go out to eat.”

At the banquet, amidst the clinking of glasses and the exchange of toasts, Qin Mu found it all rather distasteful.

Jian Ran: “…”

So irreverent, nothing like the president of Dongheng International.

“Qin Mu, you have to go.

You’re an invited partner…

besides, even though it’s the Gu Family’s annual event, all the notable figures of Yuncheng will be there.

It’s a great networking opportunity, and I think, the old master wouldn’t want you to miss it.”

Jian Ran patiently explained, causing Gu Mochen’s face at the driver’s seat to turn instantly cold.

Qin Mu eventually followed Jian Ran’s advice with delight in his heart.

“Whatever Ran says, I follow.

See you tonight then.”

“Hmm.”

Jian Ran bit her lip; in fact, they were going to see each other at the banquet that evening.

Once Jian Ran had hung up the phone, Gu Mochen narrowed his dark eyes, speaking in a seemingly indifferent tone.

“Mrs.

Gu, it seems you’re quite concerned about other men.”

Jian Ran: “…”
