276: Chapter 276: Cesarean Scar on the Abdomen, Update 1 (8)_1 276: Chapter 276: Cesarean Scar on the Abdomen, Update 1 (8)_1 “Dong Qin has been looking at me unfavorably since four years ago, and my work at the Gu Family company was bound to be exposed sooner or later…

When that time comes, I’ll have to wait for Dong Qin and Lan Xing to force me out.

Rather than that, I might as well climb up.

At least…

I really can’t lose my job at the Gu Family company right now.”

At least…

Now Tang Bao is only three years old, really in a very unstable situation.

Jian Ran could compromise on everything for Tang Bao.

Gu Mochen narrowed his eyes slightly, finding many things he liked about Jian Ran.

For example, not admitting defeat, for instance, not fearing loss.

Gu Mochen’s thin lips pursed, “Everything is possible.

Today, you managed to secure eight design proposals in one afternoon.”

“Yes, but…

This afternoon, it was thanks to you, President Gu, I don’t know if you’d be willing to lend me a hand?”

Jian Ran couldn’t detect the undertones in Gu Mochen’s words.

Logically speaking, Lan Xing was the person Dong Qin put in charge to supervise Gu Mochen.

Gu Mochen should have gotten rid of him long ago, yet he kept him around, which only meant that Gu Mochen was planning to play the long game for a bigger catch.

With someone like Lan Xing around, how could Dong Qin not be lured out?

A mocking smile hooked on the corner of Jian Ran’s mouth.

Actually, she really wanted to say…

She and Gu Mochen were on the same side and should form an alliance on this matter, supporting and helping each other.

Gu Mochen watched Jian Ran deep in thought, his gaze indistinctly falling on her, his lips slightly hooked.

“Jian Ran, without my help, how confident are you?”

“To tell the truth, I am not confident at all.”

Jian Ran answered honestly without avoiding the question, looking at Gu Mochen with a small, exquisite face.

Gu Mochen’s eyes brimmed with beauty and depth, extremely profound, mesmerizing to behold.

“Hmm?

Then why do you think I would help you?”

The underlying message in Jian Ran’s recent words was quite simple, seeking help.

Jian Ran listened to Gu Mochen’s blunt words with open, honest eyes.

“If I remember correctly, President Gu, you once told me that taking down this manager position is a rare and common goal we share.

After all, having Lan Xing under your nose without a proper reason to remove him, doesn’t sit well with you, does it?”

“Secondly…

First of all, I truly despise unfair competition, but since Lan Xing began to employ tactics first, even though I can’t be as shameless as her, I can’t afford to be naïve, can I?”

“Finally…

Well, I just hope for a little opportunity from you, President Gu.

It’s not necessary for you to literally handhold me.

When the time comes, I still want to rely on my own abilities.”

Gu Mochen narrowed his eyes…

His gaze landed on Jian Ran, filled with approval.

Jian Ran could distinctly feel the scrutiny from the man’s profound eyes on her, as she straightened her back, feeling very certain.

Gu Mochen would certainly offer his help.

Indeed, a moment later, Gu Mochen casually withdrew his gaze from Jian Ran, his deep eyes as vast as the dark blue sea.

“Alright, I will help you, Mrs.

Gu.”

Jian Ran: “…”

The meaning behind Gu Mochen’s words was clear: he was helping her because she was Mrs.

Gu.

The smile on Jian Ran’s lips stiffened, whereas the smile on Gu Mochen’s lips became even more pronounced.

…

The exquisite dishes were quickly served.

Since she was going to dine with Tang Bao shortly, Jian Ran ate relatively little.
