She kept her distance, and so Gu Mochen had not investigated any information about her, which naturally did not include knowing about Han Siming’s affair.

“Actually… President Gu, Miss Jian used to belong to a prominent family too, she is the daughter of Jian Anguo…

The Jian Family had some cooperation with the Gu Family before, do you remember?”

Jian Anguo, The Jian Family…

that man who had a hand in both politics and the business world to varying degrees.

He had a daughter at home, a prized jewel, said to be extremely doted on by her father…

Gu Mochen’s eyes narrowed as he pondered for a moment, soon arriving at an understanding; afterward, he heard that Jian Anguo had fallen from grace four years ago, and then the Jian Family gradually faded out of sight.

“Hmm, continue, so Jian Ran took one million before and used it on Jian Anguo, right?”

“Yes, two years ago, Jian Anguo needed a large sum of money for the second trial…

The timing coincided with Miss Jian agreeing to marry you.”

“Hmm.”

Gu Mochen pressed his lips together, a glint of emotion flashing through his eyes.

Jian Ran…

His lips tightened slightly; indeed, this woman had left a peculiar impression in his heart.

“At the same time, four years ago, when Jian Anguo’s incident occurred, followed by the disappearance of Miss Jian’s mother, it wasn’t long before Miss Jian broke up with Siming.

At that time, it was said…

The Jian Family was destitute, truly penniless, and most relatives were worried about causing trouble and kept their distance.”

Gu Mochen pursed his lips, understanding that when a tree falls the monkeys scatter; it was a very normal occurrence.

“Hmm.”

“But what’s peculiar is that Miss Jian’s family ran into trouble during her freshman year of college, but she insisted on continuing her studies.

Not long after the turmoil settled, she chose to drop out instead, and there has been no news of her for a long time.

Also, two years ago, Jian Anguo’s second trial did require a lot of money, costing several hundreds of thousands, but not a million.

However, further investigation revealed that Miss Jian seemed to be always short of money, leaving us unsure where she spent it.”

Hearing Secretary Zhou’s words, Gu Mochen furrowed his brows.

“Why can’t these most basic details be found out?”

“Reporting to President Gu, Miss Jian has been extremely low profile since the Jian Family’s incident, so, my apologies, this is all we can find out for now.

This period doesn’t include whether Miss Jian changed her identity to avoid Han Siming or Qin Mu.”

Hearing Secretary Zhou’s words, Gu Mochen’s gaze grew deeper, Jian Ran, how many more secrets are you hiding from me?

“Hmm, I understand now.”

“Yes, President Gu, then I’ll take my leave first.”

“Alright.”

…

When Jian Ran returned to the design department, she always felt as if someone was thinking about her, and couldn’t help but sneeze.

Who could be thinking about her?

Jian Ran couldn’t resist stretching out her hand to touch her nose, only to see Secretary Zhou approaching her respectfully; Jian Ran quickly stood up.

“Secretary Zhou, what’s the matter?”

“Miss Jian… Since President Gu has given you two raises this month, I’m here to show you the raise documentation.”

Jian Ran’s lips twitched slightly, that’s right, one time five yuan, another time twenty yuan.

Gu Mochen was clearly appeasing someone asking for alms, but even the smallest meat is still meat.

Jian Ran’s lips curved, and she whispered, “Right, in total twenty-five yuan.

Thank you, Secretary Zhou.”

“You’re welcome, to serve Miss Jian—it’s my honor.”

“Then do you know that your boss is so stingy?”

Secretary Zhou: “…”

That…

I’m not quite sure.

President Gu is usually quite generous, but I don’t know why he is so meticulous when it comes to Miss Jian’s salary and bonuses.

It might be that he enjoys teasing her a bit too much

“Actually, President Gu does care about Miss Jian quite a bit…

Hehe.”

Jian Ran didn’t feel too affected by Secretary Zhou’s words; being by Gu Mochen’s side for a long time, Secretary Zhou had developed a habit of smiling without genuine mirth.

Like now…

His smile didn’t reach his eyes.

…

The other female staff in the design department, seeing Secretary Zhou coming, couldn’t help but gather round to gossip.

“Secretary Zhou, you never mentioned before that Mrs.

Gu is actually a designer, and that her work is so outstanding.”

Hearing the other women’s teasing words, Secretary Zhou unconsciously glanced towards Jian Ran’s location and coughed, “Mrs.

Gu prefers to keep a low profile.”

“Yeah…

She wants to stay low key, yet she managed to make Yuncheng City’s most eligible bachelor her husband.

She has no right to be low key.”

Jian Ran: “…”

These people, really, need to give her a few hundred jolts every day.

Jian Ran tugged at the corner of her mouth.

“Actually, if you stop paying attention to her, gradually she’ll become less interesting.”

“That’s right, Miss Jian.

We fully agree with Mrs.

Gu’s words,” Secretary Zhou naturally supported completely.

“Sigh, I still wish I could be colleagues with Mrs.

Gu.”

Hearing the woman’s words, Jian Ran felt an inexplicable thump in her heart.

“Cough, cough, it’s a bit stuffy here, you two, I’ll go out for some fresh air.” Jian Ran, almost fleeing, dashed out of the office.

A place with too many women is full of gossip.

…

“Miss Jian…” A voice called from behind her, causing Jian Ran to pause, and she saw a handsome man approaching.

It was Pan Ming, the manager from the administrative department.

Seeing Jian Ran’s cool and delicate appearance, Pan Ming quickly blushed and appeared somewhat flustered.

“Jian Ran…

I was wondering…

cough, if you have a boyfriend.”

Jian Ran: “…”

Is this…

a confession?

The next moment, before Jian Ran could even think about responding to Pan Ming, she saw Gu Mochen’s tall figure approaching her, her expression subtly changing.

Why such a coincidence?
