Chapter 15 : The Unfilial Daughter
- Jian Ran arrived at the hotel according to the address. It was no wonder that Jian Jianguo, being wealthy and influential, would arrange his birthday celebration at a five-star hotel.
- By the time she arrived, many guests had already gathered inside, bustling and lively.
- Although Jian Ran had made some effort to dress up, she still appeared somewhat elegant and out of place among the fragrant clothes and beautiful hairstyles here.
- If it weren't for her appropriately dressed dress, people might have mistaken her for a waitress, right?
- In fact, Jian Ran didn't want to see them again, but there were still unresolved matters.
- To be honest, she had seen through Jian Jianguo. When he kicked her mother and her out of the house and wanted to marry Song Wenli, she had already regarded him as her nominal father.
- The main reason she came today was to reclaim the shares her mother had left for her. It wasn't about the money, but rather the sentiment behind it. She couldn't let them take advantage of her mother's kindness.
- After entering the banquet hall, Jian Ran quickly spotted Song Wenli and her daughter. Today, these two were the center of attention, weren't they?
- Song Wenli was wearing a beautiful cheongsam, accentuating her well-proportioned figure. Her hair was elegantly styled, and her delicate makeup concealed the fine lines around her eyes. One couldn't tell that she was almost 50 years old without careful observation.
- As she walked, she held a wine glass and accepted everyone's blessings.
- Jian Rou, on the other hand, was beaming with joy. She had risen from a small actress in the 18th tier to become the reigning queen of the entertainment industry, all thanks to her fiancé, Gu Tingjue. With him as her backing, all the socialites and celebrities liked to flatter and please her.
- Look, there were already many people surrounding her. Today, Jian Rou was also the center of attention. She wore a deep V-neck red dress, revealing her fair back. Her figure was graceful and alluring, and her heavy makeup made her look extremely charming.
- As the host, Jian Jianguo was also surrounded by a group of friends.
- Seeing this, Jian Ran smiled lightly and walked towards Jian Rou.
- That's right, she came today to make things difficult for them. Didn't they say she was unfilial?
- The feeling of being complimented was really good. Jian Rou always had a smile on her face. She occasionally glanced at the entrance, wanting to see when Gu Tingjue would arrive.
- However, when she looked over, her smile froze on her face. She widened her eyes in disbelief. Jian Ran was slowly walking towards her.
- How was this possible?
- How could she know? Moreover, she wasn't invited, so how could she enter?
- Jian Rou's heart trembled, feeling overwhelmed. Why did she come at this critical moment?
- The banquet hall was full of guests today. What did she want to do?
- Jian Rou was anxious. She said "sorry" to everyone and quickly made her way through the crowd to Jian Ran. Angrily, she asked, "What are you doing here?"
- To be honest, she didn't want to see Jian Ran at all. Every time she saw her, nothing good happened.
- She was still furious about the humiliating scene that happened in the Haoting Group's hall.
- Unexpectedly, this despicable person appeared in front of her so quickly.
- Jian Ran smiled lightly and calmly replied, "Didn't you say I was unfilial? How could I not come to celebrate Dad's birthday?"
- "Get lost! Leave immediately! You're not welcome here!" Jian Rou's eyes seemed to be spewing fire.
- "Don't worry, I came here to talk about the company's shares with you. It's a lively gathering today, and it wouldn't hurt for everyone to know." Jian Ran said coldly.
- Jian Rou's face immediately changed color. "What shares? Don't daydream!"
- "You know very well whether it's a daydream or not. It's clearly written on paper. At that time, it was the dowry brought by my mother, and it was the company that was established. I have a fair share. What? Do you want to monopolize it?" Jian Ran's lips curled up slightly. Seeing Jian Jianguo's face turning red and white, she felt a sense of satisfaction.
- "You unfilial daughter, get out now, or I'll call security." After saying that, he signaled to the security personnel nearby.
- Soon, two men in black stood beside Jian Ran.
- Jian Ran knew that this was their territory, and she couldn't confront them head-on. After all, there was still a long way to go, and she came today to give them a warning. So she calmly responded, "What? Do you want to make a scene for everyone to see?"
- At this moment, Song Wenli walked over. Her eyebrows were furrowed high. She had noticed the commotion here earlier. When she saw Jian Ran, she immediately became furious. However, with people around, she had to suppress her anger.
- "Jian Ran, today is your father's birthday. If you have something to say, say it later. If you sincerely came to celebrate, then we welcome you. But if you're here to cause trouble, don't blame me for being impolite."
- One had to admit that experience was the best teacher. Song Wenli's words were impeccable, leaving no room for criticism. Most likely, everyone would think that she understood righteousness, right?
- Naturally, Jian Ran wouldn't argue with her. She would save her strength for the crucial moment.
- "That's right. I am very sincere." Jian Ran's expression remained calm.
- "You...!" Jian Rou couldn't hold back her anger and was about to curse.
- "Rou'er..." Song Wenli interrupted her.
