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."
