Chapter 14 : Calculations

• When Jian Rou stormed off in anger, Jian Ran felt a sense of relief.
• Cheng Jun also breathed a sigh of relief. That ancestor finally left.
• Then he turned to Jian Ran and said, "Sorry, Designer Jian."
• "It's okay, it has nothing to do with you. Well, you can go back to work now. We'll go upstairs." Jian Ran said gracefully.
• "Okay." Cheng Jun nodded. The farce finally came to an end, and he was really relieved.
• Tang Yuanyuan nodded at Cheng Jun and quickly followed Jian Ran.
• "Sister Ran, you were amazing just now. You really made Jian Rou lose her temper. It was so satisfying to watch!" Tang Yuanyuan admired Jian Ran like she was her new idol.
• "It's nothing. People like her need to be dealt with in the same way. Otherwise, she'll think you're an easy target." Jian Ran said calmly.
• She knew Jian Rou's weakness, which was Gu Zong. But that was normal, as Jian Rou was a woman who was greedy for vanity.
• "Yeah, but you should still be careful next time. I don't think she'll let it go easily." Tang Yuanyuan reminded her.
• "It's okay, I know. Thank you." Jian Ran started to focus on her work and put the incident behind her.
• Finally, it was time to get off work. Jian Ran drove her newly bought second-hand car to the kindergarten.
• As soon as she arrived at the entrance, she saw her three precious children waiting there.
• Jian Ran felt guilty. She had been stuck in traffic and wasn't familiar with the route, so she was late.
• "Mommy, why are you late? You said you would be the first one to pick us up." Lele pouted, looking unhappy.
• Her pout was almost a meter high.
• Pingping and Anan also looked helpless. Kindergarten was really boring, such a waste of time.
• But because Mommy insisted, they had no choice.
• "Yeah, Mommy promises she won't be late next time." Jian Ran said firmly.
• After returning home, Jian Ran immediately prepared dinner and then helped the children take a bath and study.
• It was already nine o'clock by the time she finished everything.
• Just as she sat down, the phone rang. She looked at it and saw that it was a long-distance call.
• She smiled and answered, "Still not sleeping?"
• "Not yet. I calculated the time and knew you would be free at this time. So, have you arranged everything for your return?" A gentle voice came from the other end of the phone.
• "Yes, everything is arranged. Don't worry about me, I'm fine." Jian Ran smiled and said, "You don't have to worry about me, I'm doing well."
• The person on the other end of the phone was Su Yi'an. He had helped Jian Ran a lot when she was abroad and was also the godfather of her children.
• "That's good. You've all abandoned me now. I'm so pitiful." Su Yi'an pretended to be pitiful.
• "You're welcome to come back anytime." Jian Ran said with a smile. In her heart, he was like family.
• "Yeah, I'll come back once I finish my work. It's time for me to pursue my own happiness. I'll give you a surprise then!" Su Yi'an responded. It was time for him to pursue his own happiness, and he wanted to surprise her!
• After chatting for a while, they hung up the phone.
• ...
• Jian Rou went straight home after leaving the Haoting Group.
• As soon as she entered the house, she slammed her handbag onto the sofa and sat heavily on it.
• "Darling, what's wrong? Did you explode? Weren't you supposed to bring soup to Ting Jue?" Song Wenli came out when she heard the commotion and saw Jian Rou's gloomy face. She asked with concern.
• "I'm so angry, Mommy. What should I do? Jian Ran, that bitch, is now working at Ting Jue's company. I ran into her today. What if Ting Jue finds out about what happened back then? Then I won't have a chance to marry into the Gu family." Jian Rou anxiously grabbed Song Wenli's hand, her heart filled with fear.
• "What? How did she get a job at Haoting Group? It's a multinational company. What qualifications does she have?" Song Wenli's face turned green with anger when she heard this.
• "Yes, it's true. According to Cheng Jun, she was specially hired by Ting Jue." Jian Rou was in a hurry and felt very annoyed.
• "Let me think about how to deal with her." Song Wenli's face darkened. She wanted to tear Jian Ran apart.
• "Mommy, we need to come up with a plan to ruin her reputation and drive her out of Jiangcheng." Jian Rou said fiercely.
• "I know, by the way, will Ting Jue come this weekend?" Song Wenli suddenly remembered this important matter.
• "Yes, he said he would arrange his schedule." Jian Rou's face brightened up when she mentioned this.
• "That's good. We need to deal with that bitch, but you can't relax on Ting Jue's side, understand?" Song Wenli took the opportunity to remind her.
• "But... What if Ting Jue finds out and blames me?" Jian Rou felt uneasy when she thought about the plan for the weekend party. After all, the target was Ting Jue, who was extremely intelligent and ruthless. Once he found out that she had schemed against him, he would definitely be furious.
• "Silly child, only you and I know about this. If we don't say anything, who will know? Besides, he's the one who benefited from this. What right does he have to say anything?" Song Wenli said impatiently, "Don't hesitate when doing things."
• Jian Rou finally nodded firmly. Yes, she couldn't hesitate anymore. This was a perfect opportunity to get close to him.
• Time passed quickly, and the weekend arrived.
• Jian Ran didn't have to work and planned to stay at home with her precious children.
• Around noon, Lan Lan called, sounding mysterious.
• "Darling, guess where I am?"
• Jian Ran smiled and said, "At home? It's the weekend, why would you go to the store?"
• "No, no. Today, my old man dragged me to attend a birthday party for one of his friends. Guess who it is?" Lan Lan maintained her air of mystery.
• Jian Ran paused for a moment and thought about why she would call specifically for this. She asked with some confusion, "Could it be the Jian family?"
• She remembered that today was Jian Jianguo's birthday, her nominal father's birthday.
• "You got it right. What's even funnier is that the three of them responded in unison, saying that you're unfilial for not coming to your own father's birthday party. They let some people who didn't know the truth misunderstand you and call you names like 'ungrateful wolf'. How about it? Are you interested in coming over and giving them a surprise?" Lan Lan knew the whole story from beginning to end, so when she heard this, she was furious.
• Jian Ran frowned. She had known that they had no morals, but she didn't expect them to be so shameless!
• "Didn't you say before that your mother owns half of the company's shares? But they refuse to give them to her. Take this opportunity to make a scene. Let's see if they still have any face left." Lan Lan became angrier as she spoke.
• The whole family had no shame.
• Jian Ran nodded. Indeed, one of the reasons she came back this time was for this. It was rightfully hers, so why should they benefit from it?
• With so many people present today, let's see how Jian Jianguo would react. He was a person who cared a lot about face.
• "Okay, send me the address and I'll come right away." After hanging up the phone, Jian Ran changed into a decent dress and put on light makeup.
• She touched her children's little heads, softly instructing them, and then left.
• "Mommy, be careful outside." Anan's tender voice came, warming her heart.
• "Yes, Mommy knows." Jian Ran nodded.
• She hoped that her "surprise" wouldn't scare them.
