After the divorce, my ex-husband's cousin tricked me into getting a marriage certificate.

Lin Mengchuan's face flushed red with embarrassment and anger. "You eavesdropped on my conversation with my dad?"

Qiao Ran scoffed, "It's your own fault for not closing the door. I could also say that you deliberately left the door open so I could hear."

Lin Mengchuan gritted his teeth, "Since you've already heard it, I don't need to hide it anymore. That's right, for the sake of the company's interests, I will not divorce you, so you will still be Mrs. Lin."

Qiao Ran laughed angrily, "Go to hell, Mrs. Lin. Since you don't want a peaceful breakup, then let's see each other in court."

Lin Mengchuan was furious. "Qiao Ran, you really don't know what's good for you! Do you think it will do you any good if the news of your divorce is exposed? The media will only write that you're a discarded wife of a wealthy family, and you'll become the laughing stock of the entire Jingbei City!"

“That’s none of Young Master Lin’s business,” Qi Muci suddenly blurted out, raising his chin and glancing sideways at Lin Mengchuan. “Since Young Master Lin has already chosen the young lady beside you, don’t bother Ranran anymore.”

Ranran? Upon hearing this affectionate address, Lin Mengchuan's eyes darkened further. "Cousin, you're not planning to take on this abandoned woman, are you? Aren't you afraid it will damage your image?"

Qi Muci said calmly, "Young Master Lin should worry about your image. You've cheated on your wife and had an illegitimate child. You even want your wife to support your absurd idea of ​​having two women serve one husband."

"Do you think a human would do something like this? Even a dog wouldn't do something like this."

Fu Chao led Zhao Mengmeng and Ding Ding over and overheard what Qi Muci was saying. Then he saw the man and woman in front of him.

All three of them understood.

Zhao Mengmeng rushed over, pointed at Lin Mengchuan's nose, and started cursing: "You're that scumbag surnamed Lin? How dare you come here? And you, you're Ranran's childhood friend?"

"Great! The scumbag and the bitch have teamed up. Today, I'm going to teach you two a lesson for my best friend!"

Zhao Mengmeng used both her hands and feet, punching and kicking at Lin Mengchuan and Lin Fei.

Qiao Ran was completely dumbfounded.

Zhao Mengmeng grabbed Lin Fei's hair and pulled hard, cursing, "You shameless mistress, you actually seduced the husband of a mistress and even gave birth to a bastard child, do your parents know how despicable you are..."

Lin Fei screamed repeatedly, calling out, "Meng Chuan, save me! Meng Chuan..."

Lin Mengchuan snapped out of his daze and reached out to grab Zhao Mengmeng.

Fearing that Zhao Mengmeng would get hurt, Qiao Ran raised her foot and kicked Lin Mengchuan hard, sending him flying.

Lin Mengchuan fell to the floor, howling in pain.

Zhao Mengmeng was stunned.

Qi Muci gasped, thinking that his worries were unnecessary; it seemed that he didn't need to hire bodyguards for Qiao Ran.

"Meng Chuan, how are you?" Lin Fei ran to Lin Meng Chuan's side to check on him, then turned around and scolded Qiao Ran, "Qiao Ran, you've gone too far. I was the one who went to find Meng Chuan. If you want to vent your anger, take it out on me."

Qiao Ran curled her lips and looked down at Lin Fei, "Do you think I'm stupid? Hit you? What if something happens to the baby in your belly and you cling to me like a leech? What am I supposed to do then?"

Lin Fei glanced at the people behind Qiao Ran and said angrily, "You just wait, I'm calling the police right now."

When Qiao Ran heard the words "call the police," her eyes lit up. "Go ahead and call the police! I'll notify the media to come and watch. I'll definitely talk to the media and give you both tomorrow's headlines."

"Lin Fei, didn't you want to be in the limelight? This is the perfect opportunity for you. I've even come up with the headline for you: Lin Group heir cheats on his wife while pregnant and forces her to confess."

"Great!" Ding Ding clapped her hands and exclaimed, "Ranran, this title is brilliant! I'll help you get them trending on social media."

Lin Fei was furious. She had only wanted to threaten Qiao Ran, but she hadn't expected to be outmaneuvered instead.

Lin Mengchuan suddenly stood up, glared angrily at Qiao Ran, straightened his clothes, and strode away.

Lin Fei quickly jogged after Lin Mengchuan, calling out, "Mengchuan, wait for me!"

Qiao Ran turned around and smiled at the manager, who was huddled in the corner like a turtle, and said, "Manager, please lead the way."

The manager quickly straightened up and said with a smile, "Please follow me, everyone."

Zhao Mengmeng and Ding Ding ran a few steps to catch up with Qiao Ran, each supporting one of Qiao Ran's hands.

Zhao Mengmeng: "Queen, slow down, the floor is slippery."

Ding Ding: "Has the Queen been practicing kung fu these past two years? How much of your strength did you use in that kick just now?"

Qiao Ran said calmly, "Fifty percent, these high heels affected my performance."

Ding Ding: "How about we consider making our comeback with the hottest fantasy period drama genre right now?"

Qiao Ran: "Okay, you can help me check it out."

Dingding: "Okay."

Following behind, Fu Chao whispered to Qi Muci, "Brother Qi, Miss Qiao really opened my eyes today. She looks so delicate; I always thought she was the kind of beauty who needed protection..."

Qi Muci smiled proudly, "This is the Ranran I know. Remember to ask the manager for the surveillance video from earlier, and also, gather evidence of Lin Mengchuan's infidelity."

"Also, give the evidence of that woman's pregnancy to the company's lawyers so they can prepare for a divorce lawsuit. Then, talk to the company's publicity department and have them prepare for public relations with the media in advance."

“Okay, Brother Qi…” Fu Chao hesitated, “Brother Qi, if Young Master Lin’s mother, who is also your aunt, finds out that you’re helping Miss Qiao with her divorce case, won’t the conflict between your two families get even worse?”

Qi Muci: "We've already severed ties, how much worse can things get?"

Fu Chao choked, no problem.

After entering the private room, Zhao Mengmeng and Ding Ding deliberately made Qiao Ran sit next to Qi Muci. The two insisted on taking charge of ordering the food and asked Qiao Ran to accompany Qi Muci to have some tea to moisten his throat first.

Qiao Ran rushed to pour tea for Qi Muci, "Brother Qi, I'm so sorry to have made you laugh. Will this affect your relationship with the Lin family? I really didn't know about the relationship between your two families."

Qi Muci: "Don't worry, our family has long severed ties with their family, there's no affection between us. But you, don't let yourself be wronged, and don't be afraid of them. Remember, you still have me."

Qiao Ran's heart skipped a beat, and her ears felt slightly hot.

“What I mean is, you’ve already decided to sign with our company, so you’re one of our artists. I’m your boss, and I have a responsibility to protect you,” Qi Muci quickly said.

Qiao Ran raised her teacup to Qi Muci, saying, "Thank you, Brother Qi. I will definitely work hard in my acting to repay you and the company."

Qi Muci smiled and clinked glasses with Qiao Ran.

In the parking lot, Lin Mengchuan angrily climbed into the car and ordered the driver, "Go home."

Lin Fei rushed over and sat down, saying in a reproachful tone, "Meng Chuan, why are you running so fast? I'm pregnant, I can't keep up with you like this. What if something happens to me? How are we going to explain this to your parents?"

Lin Mengchuan was furious, and Lin Fei's incessant chatter only made him more irritated. "Knowing you're pregnant, why don't you stay home? Why do you insist on pestering me to come out?"

Knowing he was in the wrong, Lin Fei lowered his eyes, looked around, and deliberately said, "If I hadn't called you out, how would I have known that Qiao Ran was that kind of woman? She's not even divorced yet, and she's already out flirting with men."

"And that person is your cousin. I think she already knew that Qi Muci was your cousin, which is why she deliberately approached him. Judging from how intimate they were, they must have spent the night together."
