She looked at Lin Qingran anxiously, her eyes filled with the fear of something terrifying, like a frightened little rabbit.

Lin Qingran watched her deeply moving performance with an indifferent expression, and unconsciously raised her hand to applaud her.

She parted her thin lips slightly, a hint of mockery in her eyes.

"It's been three years, and your acting skills have indeed improved a lot. You're quite suited for the entertainment industry."

Lin Xiaoruo bit her lip hard, and because she bit it so hard, white marks appeared on her lips as if she had lost blood.

"Sister, actually, there's nothing between Mo Xuan and me, you've just misunderstood. Sister, life abroad is so hard, so could you please not send me abroad..."

She squatted down in front of Lin Qingran, her face full of pleading, perfectly portraying the posture of a weakling.

The man standing to one side suddenly turned serious. Just as Lin Xiaoruo's hand was about to touch Lin Qingran's leg, his expression hardened, and he pulled her up.

“You don’t need to be so subservient in front of her; you are equals.”

Lin Qingran raised her eyes and glanced at him casually.

"How can some things be completely equal? ​​As the president of the Emperor Group, doesn't Mr. Gu understand this principle?"

"People are actually divided into different classes."

Gu Moxuan's eyes grew increasingly sharp, and the marks of his clenched teeth were clearly visible on his face.

She didn't take his anger seriously at all, and smiled gently as she glanced at him.

"So how can she and I be equals?"

Wang Ma stood aside, listening to Lin Qingran's words, and lowered her head slightly.

"Miss......"

Lin Xiaoruo bit her lip lightly, a smile flashing in her eyes, and quickly spoke hesitantly.

"I never knew my sister had always thought this way. So, in your eyes, people like Wang Ma and me are just inferior beings?"

Lin Qingran smiled gently.

Lin Xiaoruo's attempt to sow discord between her and those around her is rather clumsy.

She glanced at Wang Ma standing behind her and reached out to take Wang Ma's hand.

Her actions completely surprised Wang Ma. Wang Ma was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help but smile.

"Miss......"

She looked at Wang Ma with gentle eyes, then glanced calmly at Lin Xiaoruo.

"In my view, social classes are not measured by status or position, but by a person's character."

Gu Moxuan coldly watched her smiling face, his palms clenching involuntarily. Then he snorted and glanced at her.

"If we divide it like that, then on my side you're a completely inferior person."

Lin Qingran raised an eyebrow, her eyes unchanged, and casually looked up at the man who had spoken, saying in a detached tone.

"Then I really have to thank President Gu for allowing me to still be ranked as a low-level person in your eyes."

Upon hearing this, Gu Moxuan's face darkened, and anger followed.

Lin Xiaoruo gripped his arm tightly and gently shook her head at him.

"Mo Xuan, let's go first. My sister must be in a bad mood right now, so let's not provoke her."

Lin Qingran curled her crimson lips into a smile. Seeing that the man had truly stopped arguing with her after she had persuaded him a few times, she then spoke softly.

“You can take him away, but you can’t stop him from coming back here.”

“Fundamentally, Lin Xiaoruo, you have never won against me in any way.”

Lin Xiaoruo gritted her teeth secretly, wishing she could go forward and tear off Lin Qingran's ambiguous smile.

Gu Moxuan scoffed coldly, looking at Lin Qingran with disdain.

"Do you really think you're so desirable that I have to come to you?"

"With just a flick of my wrist, countless women would flock to me!"

Lin Qingran pursed her lips, looked calmly at Gu Moxuan, and then made a "please" gesture.

Gu Moxuan's expression darkened; he was completely helpless against her.

His palms clenched into fists, and he glared angrily at Lin Qingran, saying, "You'd better not regret this."

Lin Qingran curled her lips into a smile, her eyes clear and showing no sign of regret.

Lin Xiaoruo felt uneasy and tugged at Gu Moxuan's arm.

"Mo Xuan, let's go."

Gu Moxuan pulled his arm out of her hand, angrily straightened his coat, and strode away.

Lin Xiaoruo, wearing high heels, chased after him, looking nothing like a patient.

The air grew quiet, and Lin Qingran yawned, her eyes glistening with tears.

Seeing this, Wang Ma said softly.

"Miss, should we call the young master back...?"

Lin Qingran pursed her lips, her eyes filled with determination, and after a while, she said in a cold voice.

"Why did you call him back? Did he find out I'm pregnant?"

She frowned, remained silent for a moment, and then spoke in an unusually ethereal tone.

"This time, I will absolutely not allow anyone to hurt my child. Not even Gu Moxuan."

Wang Ma lowered her head.

She knew that Lin Qingran had been wavering between divorcing Gu Moxuan and now that she had a child, she had become more determined.

It's clear how much of a blow the events of two years ago were to her, to the point that she's unwilling to mention them again even now.

Since the two had their argument, Gu Moxuan hadn't come to Sixiang Garden for several days.

Sixiang Garden has returned to its usual desolation.

Lin Qingran's foot injury has almost healed.

Cheng Ya always entrusted Si Xiang Yuan with handling company matters.

On this day, Cheng Ya brought an uninvited guest to Lin Qingran.

Lin Qingran sat on the sofa, looking calmly at the woman sitting opposite her, who was wearing huge sunglasses.

"Miss Huo came to see me so early in the morning. Is she dissatisfied with my proposal?"

Huo Wanqing was dressed in expensive trendy brands, and her beautiful lips were slightly upturned.

"I'm very satisfied. Now all the reporters' attention has been drawn to the body double, and everything is peaceful here."

As she spoke, she took off the sunglasses that were hanging on her face, which almost covered most of her face, revealing her face with heavy Western-style eye makeup.

Her appearance is the kind of striking beauty, so this kind of eye makeup suits her perfectly.

Lin Qingran glanced at her indifferently, then looked away, picked up the teacup on the table, placed it in her palm, and seemed to be thinking about something.

Huo Wanqing glanced at the tea, her face full of disgust.

"Do you have any soft drinks? Only old folks like to drink tea."

Lin Qingran glanced at her indifferently and spoke softly.

"I only have tea here, nothing else. Miss Huo, please bear with it; you probably won't be here long before you leave."

Huo Wanqing frowned, looking at her with displeasure.

"Is this how you treat your VIP guests? Do you know how many people want to host me but don't even have the chance? Aren't you afraid I'll retaliate against you for treating me like this?"

Lin Qingran remained expressionless as she put down her teacup, making a crisp clinking sound.

"Miss Huo, your curiosity should be satisfied now that you've seen me. I don't have time to entertain you here, so you should find someone who is willing to receive you."

Huo Wanqing smiled, her expression exceptionally arrogant.

Do you know who the person who wants to host me is?

Lin Qingran remained calm.

It must be someone connected to her, which is why Huo Wanqing had such an eager expression as she came to provoke her.

It's Lin Xiaoruo...

still......

"It's your husband."
