50: Chapter 50 Lan Xing Kowtows to Mada Gu_1 50: Chapter 50 Lan Xing Kowtows to Mada Gu_1 Noticing that everyone’s gaze was converging on her, Jian Ran clenched her small hand.
4 years had passed, and even at the re ntion of a surna, she knew that the elder Mr.
Qin was referring to Han Siming.
“Sorry, my hand slipped, I…
I’m going to the restroom.”
Jian Ran forced a smile with trembling in her voice, while Gu Mochen narrowed his eyes, watching her flee in a flurry.
His dark eyes flickered with an unfathomable light as he whispered a few words to Secretary Zhou beside him.
Qin Mu watched Mrs.
Gu’s retreating figure with a furrowed brow.
Although it was their first eting, she felt inexplicably familiar.
“Grandpa, let’s not bring up the past of Ran girl.
Anyway, I’ve laid it out here, in this world, the only woman I’m interested in is Ran girl!
I’ll leave my driver to take you back.
I’m going to leave now.
President Gu, I’ll take my leave first.”
“Alright.”
Gu Mochen curled his lips, his inky eyes growing deeper as he glanced at Qin Mu before him.
If Jian Ran heard what Qin Mu had just said, he wondered what she would think.
The thought of his woman being coveted by another man was far from a pleasant feeling.
The old Mr.
Qin was quite annoyed by Qin Mu, grumbling at his unconcerned back, “You brat, she’s not interested in you.”
“President Gu, I’m sorry for the spectacle.
My grandson is completely hung up on the Jian girl.
He’s been the sa since he was little.
The girl from the Jian family has her heart set on soone else, not this brat at all.”
Upon hearing the words “has her heart set on soone else,” Gu Mochen’s gaze grew even darker.
…
Restroom:
After quickly washing her face with cold water, Jian Ran hurriedly put on a mask, afraid of being recognized.
Secretary Zhou sent a second gown, and Jian Ran imdiately changed into it right there in the restroom’s changing room.
It had to be said that Gu Mochen had excellent taste.
The light green cheongsam, with its finely handcrafted stitches nearly invisible and its complex craftsmanship, was stunningly beautiful and had its own unique charm.
Wearing it, Jian Ran’s innate elegance was showcased to the fullest.
Jian Ran offered a bitter smile.
Just now, she had been far too careless.
She still couldn’t remain as calm and unruffled as Gu Mochen in handling affairs.
Pressing her lips together, Jian Ran made so quick adjustnts and opened the restroom door, only to unexpectedly encounter Lan Xing.
Why was she here?
“Mrs.
Gu, hello, I am Lan Xing, the head of the design departnt.
I’ve long admired you and greatly admire your work.”
Jian Ran: “…”
It was Jian Ran’s first ti seeing Lan Xing bowing and scraping in front of her, an obsequiousness that was nauseating.
The sycophantic deanor was a stark contrast to the arrogant and sharp-tongued woman she was used to dealing with on a daily basis.
It took Jian Ran a mont to co back to her senses.
“Hmm.”
Anxious not to be discovered by Lan Xing, Jian Ran briefly acknowledged and wanted to leave imdiately, but Lan Xing, undeterred by the cold reception, was determined not to beco a laughingstock among her peers in the design departnt if she couldn’t connect with Mrs.
Gu.
“Mrs.
Gu, please wait a mont, I…
I have sothing important to report to you.”
Jian Ran: “…”
Jian Ran looked at Lan Xing blocking her path and furrowed her brows.
“What is it?”
“The design departnt recently took a fancy to a vixen, nad Jian Ran.
She looks like a little temptress, and I believe she has designs on President Gu.”
Jian Ran: “…”
This…
did Lan Xing have no sha at all?
Was it her who harbored improper intentions toward Gu Mochen?
It was clearly Gu Mochen who had been shalessly persistent.
Jian Ran’s anger surged within her at the sight of Lan Xing, who was clearly stirring up trouble, inventing things out of thin air.
Suppressing the anger in her heart, Jian Ran responded indifferently.
Lan Xing looked at the sowhat indignant woman before her, eyeing the skin beneath Jian Ran’s mask, so white and delicate, truly a beauty to behold.
So envious.
“Mrs.
Gu, my loyalty to you is unwavering, my dedication complete.
Rest assured, I know you’re not often at Gu Family, unaware of Mr.
Gu’s whereabouts, and I am definitely your best informant.”
“Should there be any whisper of change, I will report to you at once.”
Lan Xing was just short of nodding and bowing.
Jian Ran: “…”
What was initially rage, now turned into amusent at the woman’s flattery.
Out of the corner of her eye, she noticed several people from the design departnt sneakily glancing at her and Lan Xing…
“Mrs.
Gu, your shoes are dirty, let clean them for you.”
Jian Ran: “…”
Jian Ran didn’t want to stay, but as she was about to leave, she saw Lan Xing kneeling on the ground, wiping her shoes with a handkerchief.
Her own wine glass had shattered earlier, and droplets of red wine had stained the tops of her shoes.
This sight instantly conjured the words “loyal lackey” in Jian Ran’s mind…
Lan Xing polished Jian Ran’s shoes until they nearly glead, only then standing up.
“Mrs.
Gu, that Jian Ran can’t stay.
If you whisper in Mr.
Gu’s ear…
Jian Ran, ah, she’s always looking to throw herself into a man’s arms.”
Jian Ran: “…”
A thief’s heart is never at rest.
Kneading her small hands, Jian Ran looked at Lan Xing, who had taken flattery to the extre.
If she could, she would have rebuked the woman harshly.
Jian Ran wanted to turn away and leave, but Lan Xing clung to her like a persistent plaster.
Not far away, Gu Mochen narrowed his eyes and strode in the direction of the restroom.
Jian Ran let out a sigh of relief, never before had she found Gu Mochen so charming in an instant.
Lan Xing, seeing him, nodded respectfully and bowed deeply.
“Mr.
Gu.”
“Mmm.”
Gu Mochen scanned Lan Xing briefly, then his gaze fell on Jian Ran, her light green cheongsam enchanting, this woman was truly a natural beauty.
Jian Ran lowered her voice, feigning coquettishness, “Just now, this manager ntioned that there’s soone nad Jian Ran in the design departnt who’s always clinging to you.”
Jian Ran was quite satisfied with her voice changing; it was quite distinct from her normal tone, and Lan Xing probably wouldn’t recognize it.
Gu Mochen’s eyes swept towards Lan Xing, his lips curling with mockery.
Speaking ill of Jian Ran in front of her, Lan Xing was really quite foolish.
Jian t Lan Xing’s smug lips, and raising her voice to make sure the other employees of the design departnt heard, she continued, “I trust Jian Ran’s character, she has no interest in married n.
Gu Family values talent and should not lose them over unfounded sars.
Mo Chen, don’t you agree?”
Her soft call of “Mo Chen” sent a hot current swirling in Gu Mochen’s dark eyes, and an urgent desire surged up from the pit of his stomach.
