You tricked me into raising your son? You'll divorce me and become my aunt.

After the Dragon Boat Festival holiday, my senior classmate Gu Mingzhou returned.

Ruan Ning and Gu Mingzhou agreed to meet at his company early the next morning.

The next day.

Ruan Ning got up early and went out without having breakfast.

She took a taxi to the vicinity of her senior's company, checked the time, and realized there was still a while before Gu Mingzhou's company started work.

She went to a breakfast shop and ordered a bowl of Chongqing noodles, which she ate slowly and at just the right time.

She and Gu Mingzhou had not seen each other for three years.

When she married Fu Tingchen and gave up her teacher's project, Gu Mingzhou strongly opposed it.

But she insisted on doing things her own way.

In the end, Gu Mingzhou did not attend her wedding and never contacted her again.

Three years have passed in the blink of an eye, and Ruan Ning is somewhat dazed.

She went to the front desk and gave her name.

The receptionist smiled and said, "Ms. Ruan, Mr. Gu is waiting for you in his office. Please come with me."

Ruan Ning was a little nervous before entering Gu Mingzhou's office.

The main problem is that I don't know how to face my senior brother.

Her senior had taken good care of her in the past, but she gave up her teacher's project for a man and cut off contact with her senior.

Her marriage is now a mess; she's been cheated on for so long and still doesn't realize it.

She also helped her husband's mistress take care of his son.

If this gets out, people will laugh their heads off.

If her teachers and senior classmates found out that the marriage she had fought so hard for, which involved giving up everything, was so dramatic, she would probably lose all face.

"Knock knock knock—" The receptionist knocked on the office door.

"Mr. Gu, Miss Ruan has arrived."

"Come in," came Gu Mingzhou's voice from inside.

The receptionist opened the door for Ruan Ning. "Miss Ruan, please come in."

"Thanks."

Ruan Ning walked into the office.

Gu Mingzhou looked up from behind the computer and met her gaze. "You're here."

"Senior brother."

"Sit down." Gu Mingzhou stood up, holding a document in his hand, and walked from behind his desk to the rest area.

"Here is some information about this project. Please take a look."

Ruan Ning took the document and sat down on the single sofa next to her.

Gu Mingzhou sat down and started boiling water to make tea.

Ruan Ning watched with great interest.

Gu Mingzhou did not make a sound to disturb her.

Half an hour later, Ruan Ning finished reading.

"How is it?" Gu Mingzhou asked.

"I understand the general situation, and it's pretty much what I expected."

Gu Mingzhou raised an eyebrow, a look of surprise flashing in his eyes.

"I thought you hadn't been exposed to cutting-edge technology for three years, so you might be a little unfamiliar with the project materials at first. I didn't expect you to still be as gifted as ever."

Ruan Ning smiled.

"Although I haven't participated in any experimental projects in the past three years, I have been paying attention to information and papers on cutting-edge technologies."

"Not bad." Gu Mingzhou nodded approvingly. "What are your thoughts on this experimental project?"

Ruan Ning recounted the story in detail.

The two had a pleasant conversation.

The morning passed just like that.

Gu Mingzhou was surprised that Ruan Ning, who had given up scientific research for three years after getting married, still had such a good understanding of cutting-edge scientific theories.

"Your theoretical knowledge is very solid, and some of your insights are quite profound. What you lack is practical experience. I happen to have a technical position open in my experimental team, which has a lot in common with your professor's project. Your professor's project won't officially start until next year. Would you like to come and give it a try at my company in the meantime?"

Ruan Ning agreed almost without hesitation, "Okay, but I'm currently working on a big project, and I'll resign once that project is successfully completed."

"it is good."

After saying that, Gu Mingzhou raised his wrist and looked at his watch.

"It's lunchtime, how about we grab a bite together?"

"it is good."

Ruan Ning and Gu Mingzhou went to a nearby Western restaurant.

What a coincidence! I ran into Fu Tingchen and Bai Xinyao here.

Gu Mingzhou also saw Fu Tingchen and Bai Xinyao, and asked curiously, "Hey, am I seeing things? Isn't that your husband? Who's that woman next to him?"

Ruan Ning did not answer Gu Mingzhou's question, but said expressionlessly, "Senior brother, let's go to another restaurant."

As she was about to leave, she saw a man in a suit and tie approach Fu Tingchen and start a conversation.

"Mr. Fu, what a coincidence, you're here for dinner too. Do you remember me? I'm the deputy general manager of Xincheng Technology. We met at the Hangzhou Science and Technology Exhibition last time."

As the man spoke, his gaze shifted to Bai Xinyao, who was sitting opposite Fu Tingchen, and he smiled obsequiously, saying, "This must be Mrs. Fu. Mrs. Fu and you are a perfect match, a match made in heaven."

Bai Xinyao smiled slightly and said, "Hello."

Fu Tingchen did not deny it.

Having witnessed all of this, Gu Mingzhou turned to Ruan Ning with a puzzled look.

"Let's talk somewhere else." Ruan Ning turned and walked out of the restaurant.

Ten minutes later, at another restaurant.

Upon learning the truth, Gu Mingzhou frowned. "So what do you plan to do now?"

"divorce."

Gu Mingzhou paused for a moment, then asked, "Have you thought it through?"

Ruan Ning nodded. "Yes, I've already had a lawyer draft the divorce agreement."

Gu Mingzhou didn't ask any further questions, only saying, "It's your own business, you can decide for yourself."

Ruan Ning returned to the company in the afternoon.

She now works at Fu Tingchen's company.

She was a full-time housewife when she first married Fu Tingchen.

Later, she felt that being a full-time housewife was a bit boring and wanted to go out to work.

At that time, she was deeply in love with Fu Tingchen and wanted to be closer to him, so she came to work at his company.

However, Fu Tingchen did not want to make their relationship public.

Apart from Fu Tingchen's assistant, no one in the company knew that she was the president's wife.

As soon as Ruan Ning arrived at the company, she noticed that several colleagues who were usually on good terms with her were giving her meaningful glances.

"What's wrong?" Ruan Ning asked curiously.

"Congratulations, Ruan Ning. You don't need to worry about Hongtian's project anymore." Yao Fei, Ruan Ning's female colleague who didn't get along with her, walked towards her.

Ruan Ning frowned slightly. "What do you mean?"

Yao Fei and Ruan Ning are the supervisors of Project Team 1 and Team 2, respectively, and are competitors within the company.

At this moment, a colleague who was on good terms with Ruan Ning came over.

"Ruan Ning, you don't know yet, do you? A new director has been parachuted into our department. During the meeting this morning, General Manager Fu said that the Hongtian project you were in charge of will be handed over to the new director."

Upon hearing this, Ruan Ning was stunned.

She spends most of her time outside discussing business and visiting clients, and is not often at the company.

Therefore, she wouldn't need to clock in at the company every day or attend unnecessary meetings. Fu Tingchen hadn't told her about the newly appointed director.

The Hongtian project was a major client project that she had spent three months and countless efforts to finalize.

Did Fu Tingchen just hand the project over to someone else like that?

Almost instantly, Ruan Ning guessed who this newly appointed director was.

Yao Fei said, seemingly comforting but actually gloating, "Hey Ruan Ning, don't be too sad. We all thought you would be promoted to director after Director Wang was promoted and transferred, but we didn't expect a new director to be parachuted in."

After saying that, Yao Fei laughed and brushed past Ruan Ning.

Ruan Ning clenched her fists and walked towards Fu Tingchen's office.

Fu Tingchen's office door was ajar.

Just as Ruan Ning was about to knock on the door, she heard a sound coming from inside the office.

"Tingchen, I heard that Ruan Ning went through a lot of trouble to get this Hongtian project signed. Aren't you afraid Ruan Ning will cause trouble for you if you hand it over to me?"

This is Bai Xinyao's voice.

She guessed correctly; the newly appointed director was indeed Bai Xinyao.

Then, Ruan Ning heard Fu Tingchen's voice.

"It's alright, Ruan Ning has always been obedient and sensible."

"Besides, she doesn't really live off her salary, so she doesn't need the commission. It doesn't matter who's in charge of this project, I believe you can do a great job too."

Hearing this, Ruan Ning couldn't bear to listen anymore.

She pushed open the office door. "Mr. Fu, I have an objection."
