Gu Receives a Wedding Ring Please Favorite As soon as Jian Ran spoke, the design department began to whisper among themselves.
“What?
Mrs.
Gu actually supports Jian Ran so much?
Emma, I didn’t expect Jian Ran to actually climb such a high branch.”
“Psh, it seems like Lan Xing doesn’t have that good of a relationship with Mrs.
Gu after all, she was just bragging before.”
“Yeah, she was so arrogant in front of us, what a joke.”
Lan Xing’s face turned from green to white, looking extremely unsightly.
She hadn’t expected that bitch Jian Ran to actually have a personal relationship with Mrs.
Gu.
Jian Ran curved her lips into a smirk.
Lan Xing really had shot herself in the foot, her beautiful eyes clear as water, staring straight at Gu Mochen.
“Mo Chen?”
Today, she had to clear her name, otherwise, carrying the reputation of being a seductress, she would have a hard time moving an inch within the Gu Family.
Gu Mochen’s thin lips curled slightly, his large hand landing on Jian Ran’s slender waist, applying a bit of force.
“Of course, I hope that Jian Ran isn’t interested in married men, and even less so in unmarried men.”
Jian Ran: “…”
The man’s tone was clearly referring to Qin Mu.
Jian Ran shifted her gaze away unnaturally, the man’s warm palm causing her to tremble slightly.
“Mm.”
Seeing the woman’s slightly defeated demeanor, Gu Mochen’s lips curled up with satisfaction, his gaze burning and profound.
“Accompany me to the hall.”
“Okay.”
Hearing that Jian Ran and Gu Mochen were about to leave, Lan Xing’s eyes, although filled with envious venom, still nodded and bowed in utmost respect.
What skills or virtues does this woman have to be able to accompany President Gu by his side?
“President Gu, Mrs.
Gu, take your time.”
Jian Ran: “…”
Usually, it was Lan Xing who had the superior attitude, so this was the first time Jian Ran had seen her like this.
Truly opportunistic.
The design department, seeing the affectionate couple Gu Mochen and Jian Ran, especially Mrs.
Gu’s transcendental and refined demeanor, also hurriedly greeted them with deep respect.
“President Gu, Mrs.
Gu, hello.”
“Mm.”
Jian Ran’s lips curled into a faint smile, squeezing out a bit of nervous sweat, fearing she would give herself away in front of familiar people.
She didn’t want to be Mrs.
Gu, she just wanted to be Jian Ran.
As the flagship company of Yuncheng City, the Gu Family attracted numerous dignitaries to the event.
Jian Ran, arm in arm with Gu Mochen, mingled with the crowd, engaging in social pleasantries.
Within the crowd, Qin Mu’s figure was nowhere to be seen.
Jian Ran’s eyes darkened slightly.
Given Qin Mu’s laid-back nature and his cynical attitude, he probably couldn’t stand such social settings and had left early.
Thinking that Tang Bao had Qin Mu for company at home put Jian Ran at ease.
By Gu Mochen’s side, Jian Ran deeply felt the man’s composure and strategic thinking.
Not having worn high heels for a long time, Jian Ran soon felt her legs trembling severely, and she could only lean on Gu Mochen for support.
“Mrs.
Gu, this is a little token of my appreciation.
Our family’s Mr.
Wang still relies on President Gu.”
Business dealings were counted off between the men, while among the women, it was about jewelry and red envelopes.
Jian Ran’s heart stirred slightly, the envelope was thin, most likely a check.
Gu Mochen glanced sideways at Jian Ran, who pursed her lips and took the initiative to speak.
“Thank you, but you are too kind.”
After saying this, Jian Ran returned the red envelope to Mrs.
Wang.
Mrs.
Wang felt a bit regretful, as she had wanted to grow closer.
Her gaze shifted to Jian Ran’s empty left hand and she quickly asked, “Mrs.
Gu, your fingers are so slender and fair, truly beautiful.
Why aren’t you wearing a wedding ring?”
Jian Ran: “…”
With Mrs.
Wang’s exclamation, everyone’s attention immediately focused on her; indeed, there was no decoration on her left ring finger.
Jian Ran’s expression changed slightly; being married, it was against reason not to wear a wedding ring.
“Mrs.
Wang really is attentive.
My wife feels it’s a bit uncomfortable to wear,” Gu Mochen explained.
Hearing Gu Mochen’s explanation, Jian Ran nodded in agreement and said, “Yes.”
Jian Ran forced a small smile, her hands interlocked together.
However, such an excuse obviously didn’t hold up; but how could the esteemed President of the Gu Family not afford to buy a wedding ring?
Gu Mochen narrowed his eyes slightly, his thin lips parted as he continued, “Secretary Zhou, bring out the lady’s wedding ring.”
“Yes, President Gu…”
Jian Ran’s beautiful eyes widened in surprise as she saw Secretary Zhou proactively hand over an exquisite gift box to Gu Mochen, who opened it in front of everyone’s eager eyes.
Inside was a startlingly large pink diamond, flat and pear-shaped with simple lines that oozed elegance.
It had been meticulously polished to a luminous sheen.
“President Gu…
is…
is this the Eye of the Idol Diamond?”
Someone in the crowd had recognized the identity of the diamond.
“Correct.”
“Legend has it that it’s the ‘ransom’ that the Kashmiri chief gave to the Sultan of Turkey as requested by Princess Lashataha.”
Jian Ran: “…”
Jian Ran had heard about it; the Eye of the Idol was rumored to have been bought at a high price by a reclusive rich man.
Who exactly it was, nobody knew, but people marveled at the magnanimous gesture.
And that person was Gu Mochen.
Wealthy…
Jian Ran narrowed her eyes, thinking that Gu Mochen’s wealth really had nothing to do with her.
If only her salary could increase from time to time, and perhaps with some bonuses, she would be perfectly content.
Well, despite being Mrs.
Gu in name, she was one in name only.
However, she hadn’t expected that Gu Mochen would actually have the wedding ring prepared, which was indeed foolproof.
“Give me your hand.”
As Jian Ran was lost in thought, she heard the man’s deep, magnetic voice by her ear.
Her beautiful eyes widened as they met the man’s deep, dark eyes, his hand holding the diamond ring, the implication quite clear.
Jian Ran: “…”
The diamond is too expensive, if it were lost, or stolen, she couldn’t afford to compensate for it.
“President Gu…
Mo Chen, I’m not used to wearing it, how about…”
Jian Ran’s reluctance had already aroused the envy and jealousy of the socialites and demure ladies present.
This was a sky-high priced diamond, something all women dreamt of.
Yet Mrs.
Gu was rejecting it.
“I…”
Before Jian Ran could say more, she saw the man extend his fair, large hand and grasp her small one.
Then, the man’s fair, large hand slowly slid the Eye of the Idol onto her left ring finger.
The ring reached the knuckle of her left ring finger, and Jian Ran instinctively pulled back a little.
It is said that the ring finger is connected to the heart, sacred and utmost.
Should she really wear it?
