Jian Ran left home and immediately took a taxi to the Dihao Hotel. Pingping's words from yesterday had reminded her, and actually, she had thought of this idea ever since she came back—she wanted to check who stayed in room 666 five years ago?
If she knew who it was, she would also know who the father of her babies was.
In fact, she herself could raise the children, but now that they were growing up, they would occasionally ask about this matter. She was also very curious and hoped that the person was not someone deceitful and dishonest.
However, her intuition also told her that the person was not like that. Room 666 was a presidential suite, after all, not just anyone could afford to stay there, and even though it was dark at the time, she could vaguely sense the other person's noble aura.
When she got to the front desk, she told the staff the date and room number. The staff's face changed, his expression a bit strange, but he still typed on the computer, then shook his head and said, "I can't find it."
Jian Ran frowned, "How can that be? Shouldn't there be a record?"
"Because it's been a long time, and the hotel system has been updated, we really can't find it, and, miss, I'm checking for you secretly—hotels have regulations. This is the privacy of guests that we must keep confidential." The front desk staff said with a troubled face.
"Then okay, thank you." Jian Ran's face was filled with disappointment, as if someone had drenched her with a bucket of ice-cold water to her face.
Then she left, feeling dejected.
Oh well! Maybe it's for the best not to know. What if he is not a good person?
Jian Ran had barely left when the front desk staff immediately made a phone call, "She was here!"
Jian Rou was at home, anxiously thinking about how to explain the press conference to Gu Tingjue, but at this moment, she received a phone call from the hotel front desk, which made her even angrier and scared!
No, she had to find a way to get rid of that woman!
After ending the call, she grabbed her cell phone and violently threw it against the wall. Her appearance looked somewhat fierce.
Hearing the commotion, Song Wenli came out of the room to see the phone shattered on the floor. She hurried over and asked anxiously, "Baby, what's wrong?"
"Mom, that bitch Jian Ran is back, and she has a kid with her that looks a lot like Tingjue. Do you think the kid could be from that night..."
Jian Rou was very puzzled in her mind; she had already had someone investigate.
"How could it be such a coincidence? Where is that bitch now? We should have cut the weeds and dug out the roots back then, ah!" Song Wenli said annoyed.
"Right! That bitch is so smug now, I don't know where she gets her confidence from, I could crush her with one finger!" Jian Rou's eyes were dark and malicious, wishing she could tear Jian Ran into pieces right now.
"Yes, don't let that little bastard off either. We can't let Tingjue know about this brat's existence. And remember, you still need to be careful and start with Aunt Gu." Song Wenli schemed at the side.
Jian Rou pursed her lips and nodded in agreement; indeed, she needed to quicken her pace. The position of Mrs. Gu could only belong to her!
...
After Jian Ran and Lan Lan left the house, only Pingping and Lele were at home. However, they had always been very independent, so Jian Ran felt reassured.
After breakfast, Pingping saw them walk away from the balcony and then returned to his room to turn on his computer, with his five small fingers rapidly typing on the keyboard, soon unlocking the computer.
He had been preoccupied with something for a while, and now he finally had time to investigate.
Pingping quickly opened an unnamed website with a lot of information available for browsing.
He continued to type on the keyboard, with data flashing across the screen in a dizzying flurry of code, and after a while, he finally stopped.
Gu Tingjue's personal information soon came out, he was the president of Haoting Group! Although he always kept a low profile, his information was still accessible online.
Pingping wanted to retrieve his photo to have a look, but found there were no frontal shots, and those side profile photos were very blurry.
Looking at the data displayed, it seemed as if he and mommy had no intersection, so he couldn't be his dad?
Pingping suddenly became somewhat despondent.
Suddenly, his gaze swept across an important piece of information, what? He was going to marry that bad woman from yesterday?
The more Pingping looked, the angrier he got. Although he was still young, he had occasionally heard mommy and godmother mention this bad woman named Jian Rou, who had trapped mommy. If it weren't for godmother, mommy probably wouldn't have survived.
And now, the instigator was Gu Tingjue's fiancée. With Gu Tingjue's help, her career had soared, becoming even more arrogant.
Pingping rubbed his palms together, "Hmph," he snorted. Before, it wasn't convenient to take action overseas, but now that he was back, he wouldn't let off anyone who bullied mommy.
So that bad woman Jian Rou wants to be the president's wife? Well, he might as well have a go with that president!
Who let him fail to see people clearly, he deserves a lesson.
He quickly opened a secret website, then entered some codes, after which the smile at the corners of his lips grew wider, a mischievous glint in his eyes, just wait!
At this moment, Gu Tingjue was sitting by his solid wood desk, tapping the table lightly with his hand, while his assistant Cheng Jun stood not far away reporting the situation. But even after finishing the report, Gu Tingjue remained silent, leaving Assistant Cheng confused, yet not daring to leave.
Finally, he remembered something and asked, "When will the designer we hired from overseas report to the company?"
Cheng Jun quickly responded, "President Gu, Designer Jian has already arrived in Jiangcheng City. Although the company planned to pick her up from the airport, she declined. However, she has replied and will report to the design department on Monday. Although not as outstanding as JR, Designer Jian has also won many international awards and is certainly one of the top designers."
Gu Tingjue nodded, "That's good. I hope her joining will bring brilliance to the design department. If there's any news about JR, don't miss the opportunity. At any cost, bring her over. Our fashion design needs to move towards internationalization gradually!"
Gu Tingjue spoke without a hint of emotion on his face.
Currently, Haoting Group was developing comprehensively, leading the way in various industries.
Real estate, hotels, and jewelry businesses were already quite stable—the next focus was on fashion.
Food, clothing, shelter, and transportation, clothing comes first, right?
"Yes, President Gu," Cheng Jun responded respectfully.
Gu Tingjue stood up, facing the floor-to-ceiling window, his tall figure looking somewhat lonely.
For some reason, Jian Rou suddenly popped into his mind, and he frowned. Over the years, his emotions had become stagnant water; she had been so kind to save him at first, but these years, she had endlessly siphoned benefits from him. Was she really the same woman who saved him all those years ago?
Gu Tingjue couldn't help but sigh softly.
Just as Cheng Jun was about to leave, someone knocked at the office door. The door opened, and the head of the technical department, Ding, rushed in with a look of sheer panic, "President Gu, it's terrible, our company's network has been attacked!"
Cheng Jun's face changed immediately, then he hurriedly asked, "What about the engineers from the technical department?"
Without exaggeration, the technical department of Haoting Group was full of talent, and their defense system was industry-leading. How could it have been so easily breached?
