"What did you say?" Lu Ran couldn't believe it.
"It's true," Dong Jielin said calmly. "The computer Pei Nian is using used to belong to Sandra. Heh... You know who Sandra is, right?"
Lu Ran was stunned for a moment.
Sandra was once an outstanding salesperson, at her peak carrying half of the sales department. However, because of her exceptional abilities and good looks, she was envied by many, including Dong Jielin.
Dong Jielin was afraid that Sandra's outstanding qualities would attract the attention of the company's higher-ups, or more precisely, Qin Yu, so she always regarded her as a thorn in her side.
To make it easier to monitor her, Dong Jielin secretly tampered with her computer.
Whenever Sandra uses her computer to write documents, reports, or even chat with people, these records can be transmitted to Dong Jielin's computer.
Later, Sandra had to leave her job to recuperate due to poor health, and the computer remained unused.
Until Pei Nian sat down at that workstation...
"So, you know everything she wrote and said from the very beginning?"
"Yes." Dong Jielin's lips curled slightly. "But she's a strange person; she doesn't usually write on the computer. It was just that one time she worked overtime all night..."
That time, when she worked overtime all night, Pei Nian didn't bring her diary, and her anxious expression caught Dong Jielin's eye.
Because she was always aloof and rational, and remained calm even when something terrible happened, Dong Jielin felt something was unusual this time.
Then, without anyone noticing, she connected to the monitoring equipment and started monitoring Pei Nian's computer.
“I saw what she wrote at the time, saying that her older sister treated her very well, that she worked at her sister's company, and that her mother could rest assured…”
"At first I didn't understand what was going on." Dong Jielin's lips curled slightly. "Then it dawned on me, sister... isn't she just Little President Lu? Pei Nian was brought in by Zhou Nan, and Zhou Nan, ha, who else but Little President Lu could order her around?"
Lu Ran's expression grew increasingly grim.
"Miss Lu, my analysis should be correct, right? What else could she be but the old chairman's illegitimate daughter!"
"Enough!" Lu Ran didn't want to hear any more.
She didn't know how she got out of the prison. The moment she stepped outside, the sunlight was blinding. She instinctively raised her hand to shield her eyes from the light and suddenly felt as if she was only suited to stay in the shadows.
Her hatred for Pei Nian was reignited.
She originally thought Pei Nian came from a lowly background, but now... she is actually Lu Lishan's daughter!

Huo Junyu was handling official business in his study, while Jiang Mianmian leaned back on the sofa, quietly admiring the man working diligently.
She smiled and touched her increasingly protruding belly.
As her pregnancy progressed, she became less mobile, so she simply stopped going to the company and left everything to her husband.
Huo Junyu didn't ask for anything else, he just wanted his allowance to increase a little more...
“Honey,” Jiang Mianmian went behind him and gently massaged him, “you’ve had a tough time these past few days.”
Huo Junyu smiled and pulled her hand, letting her sit on his lap.
Jiang Mianmian had gained a lot of weight; the two of them were indeed heavier than one person, but this heavy feeling was like he was embracing the whole world in his arms.
Huo Junyu gently kissed her forehead.
I would never feel tired working for her my whole life.
“Everything is fine at the company, you don’t need to worry,” he said softly. “The real estate data has been good lately, but I think we shouldn’t abandon our core business. After all, the Lu family made its fortune with Qingshan Entertainment, so I’ve invested in three more movies and had the entertainment department sign new talent.”
"Okay!" Jiang Mianmian nodded. "You can decide."
Huo Junyu placed his hand on her belly. Now that she was further along in her pregnancy, he could feel the baby move occasionally. Just then, the baby moved again, as if sensing its father and greeting him.
"Oh, right, Junyu, I have a secret to tell you..." Jiang Mianmian smiled brightly and whispered in his ear, "Our baby... is a girl!"
"What?" Huo Junyu's heart skipped a beat, and he didn't react for a long time.
He was so happy he couldn't even laugh anymore.
"Are you sure? How did you know?"
Jiang Mianmian smiled shyly, "I kept pestering that doctor to check for me! She kept saying there were rules against checking the sex of the fetus, but after the examination, she told me to prepare a princess bed!"
Huo Junyu was so excited he almost gave Jiang Mianmian a princess carry.
He remembered his mother saying that their Huo family was dominated by men and had more sons than daughters since the older generation. In Huo Zhixing's generation, apart from Huo Zhixin, everyone else was a man!
Needless to say, there are two good sons, him and Huo Junyang, and there is also a curse that Mom has to have seven sons before she can have a daughter!
So after giving birth to the two of them, Mom stopped there and didn't dare to continue.
My dad has always had a slight regret about not having a daughter.
Now, he has a daughter!
Huo Junyu was overjoyed and couldn't wait to call and bother his entire family right now!
"Calm down!" Jiang Mianmian said, both amused and exasperated. "Sometimes ultrasounds aren't accurate; they might make a mistake..."
"No, no!" Huo Junyu was certain. "I knew it was a daughter!"
"Then don't say anything," Jiang Mianmian said reproachfully, looking at him playfully. "Once the baby is born, a few more months won't make a difference!"
Huo Junyu smiled and gently hugged her.
His wife wouldn't let him tell anyone, so he kept his joy to himself. But he needed to start preparing baby supplies now. The doctor had mentioned a princess bed, right? He'd buy the best princess bed, hang dreamy curtains all around, so that the Huo family's little princess would truly feel like a princess from the moment she was born.
“By the way, honey,” Jiang Mianmian looked at him, hesitated for a moment, and finally asked hesitantly, “Ranran, she…”
"Can't you still let her go?"
Jiang Mianmian shook her head with a troubled expression.
To be honest, her feelings for Lu Ran were complicated. Lu Ran was her sister who had once shared hardships with her, but now she had become a pariah, repeatedly challenging her bottom line.
She wanted Lu Ran to receive the punishment she deserved, but she also didn't want her to suffer too much.
“Wife,” Huo Junyu looked at her, his voice low, “I have found her.”
Jiang Mianmian was surprised, "Really?"
"Hmm." Huo Junyu said in a low voice, "I offered to ensure the safety of Dong Jielin's family on the condition that she would find a way to lure Lu Ran out... I didn't expect that she would actually succeed."
In fact, the policewoman recognized Lu Ran the moment she entered the prison that day and reported her whereabouts to Huo Junyu.
Including what Dong Jielin said to Lu Ran.
Jiang Mianmian asked him, "What method did Dong Jielin use?"
Huo Junyu licked his lips and remained silent.
He didn't know how to tell Jiang Mianmian about this.
But he was even less certain whether the matter was true or false.
