Chapter 1: Replacing Jian Ran's Identity

Hot...hot...

Her whole body felt like it was being roasted by fire, devouring Jian Ran's sanity.

The room was dimly lit, and she couldn't see the man's face clearly.

In the darkness, a cold breath swept over, enveloping Jian Ran's petite body in the tall and sturdy figure of the man.

"Ah..."

A piercing pain spread throughout her body.

Vaguely, she saw that the man's back seemed to have a soaring eagle, fierce and sharp.

And at this moment, the man was like an enraged beast, rampaging wildly. Jian Ran bit her lip tightly, letting tears flow into the pillow.

After an unknown amount of time, the man left her body and fell asleep beside her.

Jian Ran fumbled for her clothes in the darkness and put them on before leaving in a sorry state.

Back at the Jian family, she met her half-sister Jian Rou at the door.

Seeing the hickey on her neck, Jian Rou pretended to sympathize and said, "Oh, sister, where did you go? Mom and I were so worried about you."

"Enough nonsense, have I done what you asked? Can you save my mother now?" Jian Ran said coldly.

This was a deal between her and Song Wenli.

Her mother was seriously ill and needed 200,000 yuan for surgery.

Song Wenli, this heartless woman, used her mother to blackmail her. If she didn't go to meet Director Wang, they wouldn't save her mother.

Song Wenli was the mistress who took her mother's place. Her mother, being kind-hearted, couldn't outwit her and was forced to step down, allowing Song Wenli to marry into the Jian family with Jian Rou, who was three months younger than Jian Ran.

And her father, Jian Jianguo, listened to Song Wenli's every word. So in order to pay for her mother's surgery, she could only turn to Song Wenli and her daughter.

And that's how this devastating scene came to be.

Just then, Song Wenli rushed over, saw Jian Ran, and slapped her in the face. "You little slut, how dare you stand Director Wang up?"

She had finally managed to get in touch with Director Wang and wanted to secure a good role for Jian Rou in his new movie. But Director Wang took a liking to Jian Ran, so she promised to give him Jian Ran.

Who knew that this little slut Jian Ran would dare to play tricks!

Jian Ran widened her eyes, covering her painful face and said coldly, "I've already done what you told me to do. Do you want to go back on your word and not give me the money?"

"You little slut, do you dare to lie to me? Director Wang waited for you for hours and now he's furious. Where the hell did you go?" Song Wenli's tone was sharp, and she wished she could tear Jian Ran apart.

Jian Ran looked at her in shock, "It's impossible. I just came from..."

Song Wenli quickly pulled open her collar and saw the red marks below Jian Ran's neck. She went crazy, pulling Jian Ran's hair and roaring, "You little slut, who did you fool around with? How dare you defy me? Don't you want to save your mother?"

Jian Ran felt a cold air rising from under her feet, and she froze.

What? That person just now wasn't Director Wang?

Then...who was that person?

No, they must be lying to her!

Jian Ran shook her head, looking incredulous.

Jian Rou also had an expression of anger.

Ever since Director Wang saw Jian Ran, he couldn't forget her. He knew she was still a virgin, and she was pure and beautiful. He had long been lusting after her.

Who would have thought that this little slut would promise to accompany Director Wang for one night, but then change her mind at the last minute? She deserved to die.

If she missed Director Wang, wouldn't her dream of becoming a star be shattered?

"Mom, let's go find out what Director Wang thinks." Jian Rou gritted her teeth and said.

"Yes, let's appease Director Wang first, then deal with this little slut."

Jian Ran suppressed her emotions, grabbed Song Wenli's clothes, and pleaded, "We made a deal. I went to accompany Director Zhang for one night. Can you give me the 200,000 yuan? I don't know what happened, but I went to that hotel as requested for my mother's surgery..."

Song Wenli gritted her teeth in anger, "You went to sleep with some random man instead of Director Wang. And now you have the nerve to ask me for money?"

"Jian Ran, let me tell you the truth. Your fox-like mother died on the way to the hotel! She heard that you went to sleep with an old man for her medical expenses and couldn't bear it. She died of anger!"

"No...that's impossible...you're lying..." Jian Ran sat on the ground, completely stunned.

Seeing Jian Ran's pained expression, Song Wenli felt relieved. For years, she had been suppressed by Jian Ran's mother, Xu Jing, and couldn't see the light. Now she could finally hold her head high.

After Song Wenli finished speaking, she locked Jian Ran in her room.

Just then, there was an urgent knocking on the door.

Ten or so men in black suits entered the courtyard, followed by a bespectacled man who walked quickly towards them.

This posture really scared Song Wenli and her daughter.

Who were these people?

"What...what do you want?" Song Wenli asked bravely.

The bespectacled man glanced at them and asked, "Excuse me, is Miss Jian who stayed in room 666 at the Emperor Hotel last night here?"

Emperor Hotel? Wasn't that the hotel Director Wang had arranged? But it's 999, not 666!

Could there be a misunderstanding? These people didn't look like good people!

Jian Rou, afraid of trouble, frowned and said, "No, you've got the wrong person."

The man took out a piece of jade with the word "Jian" on it, and on the back was a red seal with the words "Jian Jianguo."

"This was dropped by Miss Jian when she stayed in room 666 last night. Our president was drugged, and then he...with Miss Jian..." The man found it difficult to continue, but everyone understood what he meant.

Jian Rou widened her eyes.

Wasn't this piece of jade Jian Ran's?

Jian Jianguo had obtained a piece of high-quality jade and had someone carve a jade pendant for Jian Rou. In order to avoid gossip, he also used some leftover material to make one for Jian Ran, but the quality was very poor. Unexpectedly, this little slut had been wearing it all along.

So, Jian Ran slept with a president last night? Ugh, how could this slut be so lucky?

Jian Rou was extremely jealous, but she still forced a surprised smile and said, "Ah?! So my jade pendant is with you. It was a birthday gift from my father!"

She took the jade pendant, looking delighted to have it back.

Jian Rou cautiously asked, "May I ask who your president is?"

"Gu Tingjue of the Hao Ting Group," the bespectacled man said proudly.

"What? The Hao Ting Group? Gu...Gu Tingjue?" Jian Rou was completely stunned, looking incredulous.

In Jiangcheng, who didn't know Gu Tingjue?

He was already the richest man in Jiangcheng, the president of the Gu family, and he was young and handsome. He was the dream lover of countless girls.

And Jian Ran actually had the luck to sleep with Gu Tingjue?

"Yes, Miss Jian, we're really sorry about what happened last night. Our president said he would repay you well. If you have any requests, you can contact me. My name is Cheng Yang, I'm Mr. Gu's assistant," the bespectacled man handed her a business card and then left with the men in black.

Once they left, Jian Rou almost collapsed to the ground. She couldn't accept this reality.

"Mom, that slut Jian Ran actually slept with Gu Tingjue, the super president Gu Tingjue..."

Song Wenli was also very surprised.

The person in charge of the Hao Ting Group, the pride of the heavens!

"Mom, our opportunity has come. If we can climb up to Gu Tingjue, we won't have to worry for the rest of our lives. Maybe I'll become the president's wife in the future. So, that slut can't stay..."

Song Wenli nodded. No one could become a stumbling block for Rou'er!

"Rou'er, I'll contact someone to sell her off so she can never come back..." Song Wenli became more and more excited as she spoke.

"Yes, that's how it's done," Jian Rou said with a malicious smile.

Inside the room, Jian Ran trembled, hugging herself tightly.

Song Wenli's words kept echoing in her ears.

No, she had to leave this place! She had to find her mother!

Jian Ran tied the bedsheet into a knot and slowly slid down from the balcony. Though she was scared, her determination outweighed the cruelty of that mother and daughter.

Finally, she landed and quickly ran out of the Jian family villa. Lost in despair, she was completely unaware of her surroundings.

Just then, a sports car raced towards Jian Ran. When she turned around, it was too late.

"Bang!"

Jian Ran's body was sent flying and landed not far away. Overwhelmed by pain, she quickly lost consciousness.

Song Wenli and her daughter rushed over and saw the figure in a pool of blood. Jian Rou smirked triumphantly, "Mom, the old saying still holds true. How did you know she would try to escape?"

"Hmph, she's still too naive. We have surveillance cameras in every corner of the house. Now that she's been in a car accident and the culprit has fled, no one will know about this. It seems she won't survive! Let's leave quickly!" Song Wenli said, pulling Jian Rou away.

Not long after, a car passed by and immediately stopped to rescue the person lying on the ground.

Jian Rou dressed up carefully and couldn't wait to meet Gu Tingjue.

This man was truly exceptional, and the thought of him possibly becoming her husband made her ecstatic.

When Gu Tingjue saw Jian Rou, his brows furrowed involuntarily.

Why did she seem different?

That night, she had a faint floral scent, but today she was heavily perfumed, with a strong fragrance.

But no matter what, he was at fault that night. After all, she had lost her innocence to save him.

"Miss Jian, I apologize for that night. How about this, to make it up to you, you can make any request," Gu Tingjue's magnetic voice sounded.

Jian Rou's eyes brightened at his words, and she put on a coy look. "Mr. Gu, I know you were drugged that night. I don't want anything, I'm not that kind of woman!"

She was casting a wide net to catch a big fish.

Gu Tingjue's brows furrowed even more at her words. "Miss Jian, you should think it through carefully."

"If possible, I hope Mr. Gu can date me. After all, I've lost my innocence, and in the future..." Jian Rou's eyes turned red as she lowered her head.

Gu Tingjue was momentarily stunned, pondered for a moment, and nodded in agreement, "Alright."

Chapter 2: : Glorious Return

Five years later

Jiangcheng International Airport

The crowd jostled and pushed, and a slender figure emerged, pushing a luggage cart with two large suitcases. Two children followed closely beside her.

The woman was beautiful and slender, with a casual bun on her head. Her delicate features and fair skin made her look pure and captivating, capturing everyone's attention.

The two children, about four or five years old, were equally attractive. The boy on the left wore a white shirt, blue suspenders, and jeans, with a baseball cap that made him look handsome.

The little girl on the right was as delicate as a doll, with a ponytail tied up. Her thick bangs covered her fair forehead, and a butterfly-shaped bow was tied to her ponytail, making her eyes clear and bright, and irresistibly cute.

As they walked out, the onlookers couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

"Are they twins? They look so good!"

"They look like models. Who are their godlike parents? They have great genes!"

...

But they seemed accustomed to such attention.

"Mummy, when will big brother come back?" The little girl asked with a soft and sweet voice.

"Well, well, big brother still has an advertisement to shoot. Aunt Tang Jing will come back with him." The woman gently touched the little girl's head and replied tenderly.

Yes, it was Jian Ran. After five years, she had finally returned!

Jian Ran saw everything familiar, but her eyes gradually turned cold, and her thoughts drifted away.

Five years had passed, and she had returned to this city that had once broken her heart.

Back then, she had agreed to sell herself for twenty thousand yuan to pay for her mother's medical expenses. Unexpectedly, due to a mix-up, she entered the wrong room and had a passionate night with a stranger. After that night, she became pregnant, and to make matters worse, she was carrying rare triplets.

When she found out, the doctor said it was too late for an abortion as it would endanger her life, so she had no choice but to give birth. But as time went on, she grew to love these children more and more.

Jian Ping and Jian An were her sons, and Jian Le was her daughter.

All three children were talented. Jian Ping had a calm personality and was skilled in computer programming, showing remarkable talent at such a young age.

Jian An was more lively and had recently been discovered by talent scouts. He was now a little star.

Jian Le was innocent and adorable, a little foodie who loved drawing.

These three children were the best gifts that heaven had given her!

Over the years, she was most grateful for her good friend Lan Lan. It was because of her that she had what she had today.

When she ran out of the Jian family villa back then and got into an accident, it was Lan Lan who saved her. Her mother's attack had left her devastated, but it was Lan Lan who encouraged and helped her to study abroad.

So, she chose her favorite major in fashion design. Through hard work, she won several international awards and became a renowned fashion designer known as JR internationally. However, she kept a low profile, and not many people knew about her true identity.

After winning the awards, many well-known foreign companies approached her, but Jian Ran remained unmoved.

Coincidentally, the design department of Jiangcheng's leading company, Haoting Group, was recruiting a chief designer. To avoid unnecessary complications, she concealed her identity as JR and applied with her experience as an award-winning designer. She was immediately hired, so she chose to return to her home country.

Five years had allowed her to mature and become more resilient. She could no longer run away; it was time to face everything.

Moreover, she had learned that Jian Rou was about to hold an important press conference, and she had prepared a "big gift" for her!

"Mummy, what's wrong with you?" Jian Ping noticed that Jian Ran was lost in thought and couldn't help but speak up.

"It's nothing. Let's go. Aunt Lan Lan is probably waiting for us at home." Jian Ran snapped back to reality and said gently.

"Mummy, I need to go to the restroom." Jian Le suddenly looked urgent.

"Then let Mummy take you." Jian Ran offered.

"No need, Mummy. I'll take her. You can call for the car. Didn't Aunt Lan Lan arrange for a car to pick us up?" Jian Ping calmly said, and then he led Jian Le towards the restroom.

Jian Ran nodded. In fact, all three children were independent and intelligent. She had no worries at all.

Jian Le went to the ladies' restroom alone. As she walked out after washing her hands, she bumped into someone at a corner. She had been careful, but the other person seemed to be in a hurry and rushed in without looking.

Jian Le almost fell, but she quickly grabbed the person's skirt.

Before she could steady herself, the person scolded her.

"You little brat, can't you watch where you're going? And you got your dirty hands on my skirt."

After saying that, Jian Rou forcefully shook off Jian Le's hand.

Jian Rou was furious. She had just returned from International Fashion Week, and this was the first time she wore this dress. It was a limited edition by the designer JR, and she wore it today because she was going to meet Ting Jue.

She didn't expect to be touched by this dirty little brat. How unlucky!

"Auntie, you bumped into me first." Jian Le frowned and said, her hand now red from being slapped.

This aunt was really mean, not cute at all!

"You little brat, how dare you talk back? Do you know how expensive this dress is? It's a limited edition by the international master JR. Forget it, you wouldn't understand. Be careful when you walk, or I won't be polite to you." Jian Rou warned harshly, then checked the time. Ting Jue would be here soon, and she had convinced him to come. She couldn't waste any more time.

"My mommy is a fashion designer. She can design a dress for you. The clothes she designs are really beautiful." Jian Le proudly retorted. Her mommy was amazing!

Jian Rou sneered and said, "You think your mommy is a fashion designer just because she can sew a few clothes? This dress is a limited edition by the international master JR. Forget it, you wouldn't understand. Be careful when you walk, or I won't be polite to you."

With that, Jian Rou quickly walked into the restroom.

Jian Le made a face at her retreating figure. Hmph! This mean aunt would regret it. Her mommy was amazing! She looked forward to seeing her make the aunt lick her toes!

Jian Le didn't want to keep her mommy waiting, so she quickly left.

Jian Ping noticed her frowning and asked, "Why did it take so long?"

"Girls are a bit more troublesome!" Jian Le replied mischievously. She didn't want them to know about what had just happened, so they wouldn't worry.

Jian Ran was about to go look for them when she finally saw them and felt relieved.

She had just made a phone call, and the car that came to pick them up was already waiting outside.

As soon as they came out, they saw the car, and Jian Ran led them into it.

The car left the airport and headed towards the city center.

"Bang..."

Just then, the car suddenly screeched to a halt, followed by a loud crash.

Jian Ran had only one thought in her mind: she hadn't checked the almanac before leaving today, and now they had gotten into an accident...

Chapter 3: : Narrow Road of Enemies

Jian Ran saw the car stop and quickly checked on Ping Ping and Le Le. Luckily, they were fine, so she opened the car door.

Seeing that their car had veered off and hit the nearby railing, while the other car only had a minor scratch, Jian Ran looked up and froze. The other car was a limited edition Maybach, and if they had really collided, the consequences...

She felt a cold sweat on her back.

But when she saw the scratch on the other car, she still felt a pang of guilt. After all, the driver had kindly come to pick them up, so she should take responsibility for this. Nervously, she walked up to the other car.

Gu Ting Jue heard the sound of brakes and became impatient. He didn't even want to come to the airport to pick them up today, but Jian Rou called and even alarmed his mother, so he reluctantly came. And now, they encountered an accident again, testing his patience to the limit.

Then he saw a woman walking towards them, and his brows furrowed.

A female driver?

Jian Ran approached and then bowed apologetically.

The driver glanced at Gu Ting Jue, not knowing what he meant.

Gu Ting Jue finally lost his patience and opened the car door, stepping out with a low, cold voice that lacked any warmth, "You were the one driving?"

Jian Ran saw the man in front of her and was stunned. How did this man seem so familiar? Like she had seen him somewhere before?

Right, this man in front of her looked exactly like Ping Ping and Le Le, as if they were all made from the same mold. He exuded a domineering aura, with deep contours, thick eyebrows and eyes, sharp silhouette, and his obsidian-like eyes scanned over, making people tremble involuntarily.

Why did they look so similar? Jian Ran furrowed her brows, feeling puzzled.

But soon, she composed herself and said in a deep voice, "Sir, I'm sorry, it was our fault. I will take responsibility for the repair costs."

Hopefully, it wouldn't be too outrageous.

"Is this about money? Can my time be measured in terms of money?" Gu Ting Jue's voice was low and imposing, devoid of anger.

Now he finally looked at Jian Ran directly, and his heart trembled. Her delicate features and clear gaze, along with her elegant temperament, gave him a comfortable feeling.

Gu Ting Jue had seen all kinds of people, but he had never seen such a pure woman before, and she gave him a faint sense of familiarity.

This is ridiculous!

Gu Ting Jue sneered in his heart. He probably hadn't been with a woman for too long.

"Sir, what do you want then?" Jian Ran's tone was indifferent and distant.

Gu Ting Jue inexplicably said, "Leave me your phone number, and I'll contact you once the car is repaired."

He didn't know why he blurted out these words. After all, a scratch was a minor issue, and he wasn't the kind of person who would be so calculative.

"Alright." Jian Ran readily agreed.

That's the best. She didn't have time to waste here. After speaking, she took out a pen and paper, wrote down a phone number, and handed it over.

Gu Ting Jue playfully accepted the note.

Then, he watched as Jian Ran hurriedly turned and left.

Watching her figure, a faint smile appeared on Gu Ting Jue's lips. Interesting, no woman had ever treated him like this before.

For whatever reason, this woman had caught his attention.

Jian Ran returned to the car and rubbed her temples, instructing the driver to start the car.

After half an hour, they finally arrived home.

Lan Lan happened to be busy with something today and couldn't come, but she would come to pick them up as soon as she finished. She even booked a private room to welcome them.

It had been a while since they had seen each other, and now that they were reunited, they couldn't help but embrace each other, expressing everything without words.

"Ran Ran, don't leave anymore. Settle down here." After all, this was their hometown.

Jian Ran pursed her lips and nodded, "Okay, help me look for a house."

"You can stay at my place, there's more than enough space." Lan Lan generously offered.

"It's not that convenient. It's also far from the company." Everyone had their own privacy, even if they were good sisters, they should maintain some distance.

"Alright, I'll keep an eye out." After Lan Lan finished speaking, she turned around and went to find Ping Ping and Le Le. "Babies, Auntie is back!"

Jian Ran couldn't help but laugh. Lan Lan doted on the three siblings a lot.

And An An would arrive the day after tomorrow.

Jian Ran started packing her luggage.

At this moment, there happened to be a newspaper on the table.

Jian Ran picked up the newspaper slowly and casually glanced at the contents, a slight smile appearing at the corner of her mouth.

It seemed that Jian Rou had been doing well these past few years and had become the top actress in the entertainment industry.

Thinking about what she and her mother had done to her and her mother five years ago, Jian Ran couldn't hide her hatred.

Suddenly, a photo on the newspaper caught her attention.

In the photo, Jian Rou was getting out of a Maybach, bidding farewell to the man in the car while bending over. And the man's side profile was captured by the paparazzi.

The man's profile had a resolute contour, with an aura of arrogance and dominance. He was extremely handsome, and at first glance, he seemed extraordinary. The way he looked at Jian Rou was also gentle.

And the headline of the newspaper read, "Jian Rou and her boyfriend's stable relationship, are they getting engaged?"

Jian Ran continued reading and found out that Jian Rou's boyfriend was the CEO of the Gu family?

Although she had been abroad, Jian Ran had heard of the Gu family, especially the current head, Gu Ting Jue, who was low-key in public but dominated the business world, with industries all over the globe.

How did Jian Rou manage to get involved with him? They had no connection at all.

She was confused, and when she looked at the photo again, a ridiculous thought came to her mind. Did this man's side profile really resemble an enlarged version of her son?

Absurd!

Why would she have such a thought?

She shook off these strange thoughts.

Tomorrow was Jian Rou's new drama press conference, and the "surprise" she had prepared would make an appearance!

...

The next day

Jian Rou wore a white haute couture dress, adorned with precious jewelry, exuding elegance and radiance.

She had taken over Jian Ran's identity that night, using her innocence as a threat to gain Gu Ting Jue's support. She went from being a nobody in the entertainment industry to becoming the top actress, with a limitless future.

Now, she could finally bask in her success and be the winner in life.

Today was her new drama press conference, and this drama was tailor-made for her by Gu Ting Jue himself. She was the female lead, and the director she collaborated with was the renowned Zheng.

Facing the reporters, she gracefully smiled and softly said, "Thank you all for coming. I will work hard to bring better works to the audience..."

"Mama!"

Before Jian Rou finished speaking, a childish voice suddenly rang out, followed by a small figure rushing forward and hugging her leg.

The scene fell silent, and everyone watched this scene in confusion, feeling bewildered.

Mama?!

Chapter 4: : That Uncle Looks a Lot Like Me

Jian Rou was dumbfounded, standing there in a daze. Where did this child come from?

She took a closer look at the child and realized how much he resembled Ting Jue.

Her heart skipped a beat. Could it be that Ting Jue had a child with another woman?

No, that couldn't be possible. Ting Jue wasn't that kind of person!

After snapping back to reality, she quickly pulled the child away. "Little friend, you've mistaken me for someone else. I'm not your mommy!" Jian Rou explained hastily.

What kind of international joke was this? How could she possibly have such a big child?

Was this little devil blind?

"Wuwuwu... Mommy, why don't you recognize me? I'm your beloved Ping Ping, why don't you want me and Daddy anymore?" The little boy, who looked about four or five years old, sobbed with snot and tears, making people inexplicably heartbroken.

As soon as the reporters present heard this, they immediately lost their composure.

Oh my god!

This was a sensational news!

"Jian Rou has a child?"

"Unbelievable, is it President Gu's? They look so alike!"

"No way, the child is already this big? I've never heard of such a big child."

After all, both of them were celebrities, and any little movement they made was known to everyone, let alone something as big as having a child.

The press conference instantly became chaotic because of this.

Just at that moment, a tall and upright figure walked in. He was dressed in a well-tailored, expensive suit, with a perfect facial structure and deep, profound eyes exuding a cold aura.

Ting Jue's eyebrows furrowed, and he coldly asked, "What's going on here?"

He didn't want to come to the press conference today, but Jian Rou had been persuading him on the phone. Thinking about the night they spent together years ago, he felt guilty and decided to come.

However, the scene in front of him puzzled him. His cold gaze immediately fell on Jian Rou.

The situation became chaotic and out of control. Jian Rou felt like she couldn't wash away her shame even if she jumped into the Yellow River.

When Jian Rou was swept by his gaze, her whole body trembled. She hurriedly explained, "Ting Jue, I... I don't know what's going on either. I don't know this little devil, he... he mistook me for someone else."

Jian Rou was panicking, desperately wanting to drive this little devil away.

Where did this damn little devil come from? He embarrassed her in front of everyone.

The little boy, clinging to her leg, tightened his grip upon hearing her words. He cried with a broken heart, "Mommy, why are you so heartless? You don't like me, why did you give birth to me? And who is this man? Is it because of him that you don't want me and Daddy anymore?"

The little boy pointed at Ting Jue beside them, tears streaming down his face.

This little boy was Jian Ping. He came here today to accompany his mom and humiliate the scumbag!

However, he was also a bit puzzled. Why did this uncle look so much like himself? Could there be a connection between them? Well, he would investigate when he got back.

Ting Jue glanced at the little boy and was also taken aback. Did he see a faint sense of familiarity? It seemed like he had seen him somewhere before.

Jian Rou was furious. She shouted in anger, "You little devil, stop talking nonsense. I don't know you at all. Did someone send you here to cause trouble?"

It must be that Lin Wei, that bitch, right? She had always been competing with her in the company, trying to outdo her. Could it be that she sent this little devil to ruin her new drama's press conference?

"Mommy, I'm really sad. You climbed up to a rich man for your future and abandoned me. I'm so pitiful!" The little boy sobbed uncontrollably, but in a place where no one could see, a mischievous glint flashed in his eyes.

The people around them started to discuss.

They never expected Jian Rou to be this kind of person. It was truly a case of not knowing someone's true colors!

How could she abandon her child for wealth and glory?

Everyone's strange gazes made Jian Rou feel extremely ashamed!

She wished she could find a hole to hide in.

This damn little devil, she really wanted to tear him apart.

She called her bodyguard to take the little boy away, but Ting Jue's cold voice reprimanded, "Stop this nonsense!"

His eyes were as cold as ice shards. Jian Rou, seeing this, panicked even more. She grabbed Ting Jue's arm and hurriedly explained, "Ting Jue, it's not what you think. This little devil framed me. Don't worry, I will investigate and find out the truth..."

If she found out who plotted against her, she would make sure they regretted it.

Just as they were struggling, the big screen behind the press conference suddenly lit up, attracting everyone's attention.

A video started playing on the screen, confusing everyone. Was it a preview of the new drama?

But then, an ambiguous voice came from the video, leaving everyone dumbfounded.

What shocked them even more was that the female lead in the video was none other than Jian Rou!

She was passionately kissing a rogue-looking man, lying on a bed, with their clothes disheveled!

Ah... Ah...

This... This couldn't be described as shocking anymore!

Oh my god, how could this happen? Everyone was dumbfounded.

Ping Ping quickly turned away. This was not suitable for children!

Jian Rou stared at the video, completely stunned.

She suddenly screamed in madness, "Who is it? Who is trying to frame me? Turn it off, turn it off immediately..."

Who was the bitch trying to harm her?

After saying that, she immediately looked at Ting Jue. His expression was dark, and his gaze was like a sharp arrow.

Ting Jue never expected to see this scene today. He had investigated and found out that Jian Rou was the one who saved him that night, out of guilt and a sense of compensation, he had always fulfilled Jian Rou's requests.

He didn't have a woman he liked, so when Jian Rou wanted to be in a relationship with him, he agreed. But he never expected Jian Rou to treat his kindness so poorly. It was truly despicable!

No one had ever dared to play with him like this!

Jian Rou was in a panic. She hurriedly explained, "Ting Jue, listen to me. It's not what you think. I was just acting with that person, it's not real..."

"Jian Rou, you have disappointed me. You've gained enough over the years. From now on, take care of yourself!" Ting Jue said coldly, giving her a disdainful look before leaving.

Everyone was once again stunned.

But they also understood. Who could bear to have a woman with such a past?

They heard that the two of them were about to get engaged, but now this scandal happened. Ting Jue, as a proud son of heaven, definitely couldn't accept it.

Jian Rou watched Ting Jue's departing figure, feeling both anxious and angry.

She was furious and quickly walked up to the little boy. "Tell me, is this your scheme?"

It must be this little devil...

After questioning him, without saying a word, she raised her hand and was about to slap the little boy's face with force.

Unfortunately, her raised hand was suddenly grabbed tightly by someone. They squeezed it hard, causing her to scream in pain. "Who is it?"

Before she could turn around, the person whispered mockingly in her ear, "My dear sister, long time no see. Are you surprised by the gift just now? Is it a pleasant surprise?"

This voice...

Jian Rou quickly turned her head, her eyes filled with disbelief.

"You... How can you be here? Aren't you dead?"

Chapter 5: : The Surprise from Sister, Do You Still Like It?

Jian Ran, that despicable woman, wasn't actually dead. She appeared right in front of her?

She suddenly panicked, luckily Zeng Jue had left. If he had discovered that she was an imposter, the consequences would be unimaginable! The incident from back then must not be exposed!

No, she must find a way to get rid of this despicable woman.

Jian Ran didn't expect that after just a few years, Jian Rou would become so arrogant.

"Today is my sister's new drama release conference. How could my sister be absent? We should support each other as sisters. I came here to give my sister a big gift. Do you still like the gift I just gave you?" Jian Ran slightly curled her red lips, exuding an irresistible beauty.

"So it was you, you despicable woman. Jian Ran, open your eyes wide and see what my current identity is. Soon, I will be the wife of the Gu family's president. A lowly woman like you isn't even worthy of being my shoe polisher, yet you dare to come here and cause a scene... Get out of here immediately! This is not a place where you can come!" Jian Rou's composure was starting to crumble. She despised Jian Ran's confident appearance, feeling powerless against her.

Wasn't this despicable woman supposed to have died in a car accident?

She had lost so much blood, how could she be standing in front of her now?

"Are you sure that after today's incident, you can still become the wife of the Gu family's president?" The prestigious families of the upper class paid great attention to social status. A shameless actress like her probably wouldn't be able to enter their refined circles!

Seeing the gazes of the people around them all focused on them, Jian Rou anxiously pulled Jian Ran to a secluded place, then let go of her hand and sternly warned her, "You better leave Jiangcheng immediately, or else you'll regret it! Don't believe me? You can try!"

She now had money and Zeng Jue as her backing, she feared nothing!

Jian Ran casually replied, "Sorry, but I'll be staying in Jiangcheng from now on. This isn't a place where you can dominate. Don't worry, we might see each other often in the future."

"You... You'll regret this." A trace of malice flashed in Jian Rou's eyes.

"Hehe, I really want to see that! I'll be waiting!" Jian Ran smirked, then suddenly grabbed Jian Rou's chin, applying some force. Jian Rou's expression was filled with pain.

Jian Ran coldly laughed and left.

Jian Rou watched her leave, stomping her foot in anger.

She wouldn't let this despicable woman off the hook.

Soon, she saw the little boy who had been with Jian Ran also leave.

Wait! That boy who looks so much like Zeng Jue is with Jian Ran? They know each other? What's their relationship?

Could it be... that brat is her son? The one she conceived that night?

Jian Rou's heart started to panic again, and the seeds of doubt were planted.

No, she had to investigate and find out the truth.

She wouldn't let this despicable woman have her way.

Hmph! This despicable woman really underestimates herself. It would be as easy to crush her as crushing an ant. If she didn't believe it, she could try!

Jian Rou watched their departing figures, anger almost bursting from her eyes. It was all because of their appearance that Zeng Jue had misunderstood her!

No matter what, she wouldn't let them continue staying in Jiangcheng!

After leaving the press conference, Jian Ran breathed a sigh of relief. She felt much better after seeing Jian Rou's furious expression.

This was just the beginning, wait and see!

"Mummy, how do you think my acting was?" Ping Ping smiled and asked for praise.

"Well, my dear, you did great!" Jian Ran gave him a thumbs up. "Let's go, we'll buy some desserts. Lele is waiting for us at home."

"Okay, I want to eat mousse cake and egg tarts." Ping Ping usually appeared mature, but he was still a child. When he heard about delicious food, he couldn't help but feel excited.

"Let's go, you can buy whatever you want today." Jian Ran patted his head and said with a smile.

In the cozy dessert shop, Ping Ping happily picked out desserts. The glass display reflected his little face, and he paused for a moment, suddenly thinking of something. He looked confused and asked, "Mummy, I met someone today who looks a lot like me. Could he be my daddy?"

Daddy?

Jian Ran was taken aback. The child had asked this question before, but she didn't know the answer. She had just brushed it off with a laugh. She didn't expect Ping Ping to bring it up again.

She paused for a moment, then said, "Sorry, my dear, I don't know either. But the world is so big, there are many people who look alike. Don't worry, Mummy will love you even more."

Ping Ping nodded unhappily, but he still felt dissatisfied. They looked so similar, even if he wasn't his father, there should be some connection!

No, he would investigate and find out when he got back.

"Choose quickly, we're going home!" Jian Ran urged.

"Okay!"

The two of them happily continued to choose desserts.

Back at home, Lele saw them return with desserts and was overjoyed. She was a little glutton after all.

In the evening, in a high-end restaurant in Jiangcheng, the private room was filled with laughter from the adults and children!

Tonight, Lan Lan treated them to dinner to celebrate.

"Lan Lan, thank you for your treat." Jian Ran was touched. She owed a lot to her help over the years, otherwise she wouldn't be where she was today.

"Silly, we're good sisters, and I'm the godmother of the children! Why are you saying such unfamiliar words?" Lan Lan laughed and said. However, seeing Jian Ran's achievements, she was also very happy.

"Thank you." All the gratitude was expressed in silence.

"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 more days. I want to arrange a place to live and the children also need to go to kindergarten before I report." Jian Ran responded.

"That's good. I wish you all the best! Cheers!" Lan Lan raised her wine glass.

"Cheers!"

Ping Ping and Lele also raised their glasses and drank their beverages.

"An An, when will you arrive tomorrow?" Lele pouted and asked. The three of them rarely separated, so they were a bit unaccustomed to it.

"In the afternoon. We'll go pick him up together." Jian Ran reached out and pinched Lele's little nose.

"Yay!"

The next day, Jian Ran woke up early, quickly tied up her hair with a hairband, and headed towards the bathroom.

These days, she had a lot of things to handle, so she was quite busy.

Ping Ping had already gone to wash up, while Lele was still lying in bed, acting spoiled.

"Mummy, hug... hug..." Lele rubbed her sleepy eyes with her hands and even yawned. She looked very cute.

Jian Ran walked over, picked her up, and kissed her little face, quickly changing her into a dress.

The three of them started eating breakfast. "Ping Ping, Lele, stay at home and don't run around. Mummy has something important to do today, so you have to be good!"

"Okay." The two of them replied in unison.

Jian Ran felt relieved. She did have important things to do now. She had only had some thoughts before, but now she couldn't wait to investigate and find out the truth.
