Jian Ran, that bitch, was actually still alive and had the audacity to show up in front of her?
She suddenly became panicked. Fortunately, Tingjue had left. If he discovered she was an imposter, the consequences would truly be unthinkable! The incident from back then could not be revealed!
No, she must find a way to get rid of this bitch.
Jian Ran had not expected that, after a few years of not seeing her, Jian Rou had become so arrogant.
"How could I miss my sister's new drama launch as the older sister? As sisters, I must definitely show support. I am here to bring a big gift to my sister. Did you like the gift from earlier?" Jian Ran's lips curled slightly, her beauty beyond description.
"So it was you, this bitch, who did it. Jian Ran, open your dog eyes and look clearly at who I am now? I will soon be the wife of Gu Corporation's CEO. A bitch like you isn't even qualified to carry my shoes. You dare to come here and make a scene. Get out of here now! This is not a place for you!"
Jian Rou was instantly thrown off, hating Jian Ran's confident look the most, feeling utterly powerless against her.
This bitch was supposed to have died in a car accident, wasn't she?
After bleeding so much, how could she possibly be standing here unharmed?
"Are you sure that after today's incident, you can still become the wife of Gu Corporation's CEO?" Those noble families place great importance on status—a wanton actress like you, I doubt could grace their halls!
Seeing the gazes of the people around them turning towards them, Jian Rou, driven mad with rage, dragged Jian Ran to a secluded spot, then flung her hand away, warning her viciously, "You better leave Jiangcheng City immediately, or you will regret it! Don't believe me? Just try!"
She now had the money and the backing of Tingjue and was fearless!
Jian Ran replied nonchalantly, "Sorry, I will be staying in Jiangcheng City from now on. This isn't a place where you can cover the sky with one hand. Don't worry, we will probably see each other often."
"You... you will regret not drinking a toast only to be forced to drink a penalty one," a vicious look flashed in Jian Rou's eyes.
"Ha, I actually want to try and see! Just wait and see!" Jian Ran said as she suddenly reached out and pinched Jian Rou's chin, her grip quite strong, causing Jian Rou to look pained.
Jian Ran smirked coldly and then strode away.
Jian Rou watched her leaving figure, stamping her feet in anger.
This damn bitch, she would never let her off.
Soon, she saw that little boy from earlier also leaving with Jian Ran.
Wait! The kid who looked a lot like Tingjue was with Jian Ran? Did they know each other? What was their relationship?
Could it be... that the brat was her son? The one conceived that night?
Jian Rou's heart became unsettled again and the seeds of doubt were planted.
No, she must investigate this thoroughly.
No matter what, she would not allow this bitch to get what she wanted.
Hmph! This bitch is really overestimating herself. It would be as easy for her to crush her as stepping on an ant. Just wait and see!
Jian Rou, staring at their departing figures, almost had sparks of rage flickering in her eyes, filled with resentment. It was because of their appearance that Tingjue had misunderstood her!
No matter what, she would not let them continue to stay in Jiangcheng City!
Leaving the launch event, Jian Ran took a deep breath and felt much more comfortable. Just seeing Jian Rou seething with anger was very satisfying for her.
This was just the beginning. Just wait and see!
"Mommy, how was my acting?" Pingping asked with a smile, seeking praise.
"Hmm, baby, well done!" Jian Ran gave him a thumbs up, "Let's go, we'll buy some desserts. Lele is waiting at home for us."
"Okay, I want a mousse cake and egg tarts." Pingping, who usually seemed quite mature, was nevertheless a child, and couldn't help but get excited about the treats.
"Let's go, you can buy as much as you want today." Jian Ran stroked his head and said with a smile.
In the cozy sweet shop, Pingping happily picked out desserts, the glass of the dessert showcase reflecting his little face. He paused for a moment, suddenly thought of a question, and then asked with some doubt, "Mommy, I met someone today who looks a lot like me. Could he be Dad?"
Dad?
Jian Ran was startled upon hearing this, as the child had asked this question before, but the truth was she also did not know the answer, so she had shrugged it off with a laugh. Unexpectedly, Pingping was bringing it up now.
She paused for a moment, then said, "I'm sorry, baby, I really don't know either. But the world is so big, there are many people who look alike. Don't worry, Mommy will love you guys twice as much."
Pingping nodded somewhat unhappily, but deep down he was not satisfied. Looking so alike, even if the man wasn't Dad, there must be some relationship, right?
No, he had to figure it out once they got back.
"Hurry up and pick, we need to go home!" Jian Ran urged.
"Okay!"
And so, the two of them cheerfully went to select desserts.
When they got home, Lele was thrilled to see them back with desserts in hand.
Desserts were also Lele's favorite—she was a little glutton.
In the evening, at a high-end restaurant in Jiangcheng City, laughter from adults and children kept coming from a large private room.
Tonight, Lan Lan was treating them to dinner to welcome Jian Ran and her children.
"Lan Lan, you shouldn't have gone to all this expense," Jian Ran said, her heart touched, grateful for her help over the years; without it, she wouldn't be where she was now.
"Silly, we're best friends, and I'm also the godmother of the kids! Why are you speaking so formally?" Lan Lan laughed as she spoke, but she was also happy to see Jian Ran's achievements.
"Thank you." All the gratitude was unspeakable.
"By the way, when are you going to report to the company?" Lan Lan suddenly remembered and casually asked.
"Next Monday, today is Wednesday, so there are a few days left. I want to arrange our living situation and get them settled into kindergarten, and then I'll go report in," Jian Ran replied.
"That's good, wishing you all the best! Cheers!" Lan Lan raised her glass of red wine.
"Cheers!"
Pingping and Lele also raised their cups, drinking their beverages.
"When is An'an coming tomorrow?" Lele asked, pouting her little lips. The three of them were rarely apart, so they weren't used to it now.
"In the afternoon, we'll go pick him up together," Jian Ran answered, pinching Lele's little nose.
"Yay!"
The next day, Jian Ran got up early, swiftly tied her hair back with a rubber band, and walked towards the bathroom.
She had many things to deal with these days, so she was quite busy.
Soon after, Pingping and Lele also woke up, and Jian Ran had already made breakfast for them.
Pingping had gone to wash up, while Lele was still lying in bed, acting spoiled.
"Mommy, hold...hold me..." Lele rubbed her sleepy eyes and yawned softly, looking adorable.
Jian Ran walked over, picked her up, kissed her little cheek, and quickly dressed her in a skirt.
The mother and children started to have breakfast. "Pingping, you and Lele stay at home, don't run around; Mommy is busy with important matters today, you two need to be good," Jian Ran said.
"Okay," the two replied in unison.
Jian Ran felt reassured; she indeed had an important matter to take care of. Previously, she had only entertained some thoughts, but now she couldn't wait to investigate thoroughly.
