Qiao Jiabao's pupils trembled, and he stared at Cen Juan in surprise and fear.
When she saw Qiao Jiabao's eyes, Cen Juan's face turned a little colder, because Qiao Jiabao's eyes did not have the surprise and warmth of a child seeing his mother. Instead, there was a sign of him hiding away!
"What? Don't you miss your mother?" Cen Juan asked unhappily.
Qiao Jiabao started to run backwards, but was grabbed by Cen Juan by the back of his neck.
"Jiabao! Look who I am, I am your mother!" Cen Juan shouted in disbelief. Deep down, she couldn't accept Qiao Jiabao's reaction when he saw her.
Qiao Jiabao opened his eyes wide, and his big black eyeballs seemed to be about to fall out of his eye sockets.
"Aren't you happy to see your mother?!" Cen Juan pinched Qiao Jiabao's thin shoulders tightly and shook him back and forth.
Qiao Jiabao was tossed around by Cen Juan like a piece of gummy candy, but he always looked terrified and refused to say a word.
He will never forget the scene where his mother slapped him and pinched his arms wildly in order to please that man.
"Speak!" Cen Juan's voice rose again, like a wild beast wanting to eat Qiao Jiabao.
Qiao Jiabao opened his mouth and uttered a word after a long while: "Let me go!"
Cen Juan was completely annoyed by this sentence. She pinched Qiao Jiabao's arm tightly and twisted it hard. Qiao Jiabao's face immediately became extremely painful, and he bit Cen Juan's arm hard.
"Ah! Bastard, you dare to bite me!" Cen Juan yelled, and at the same time let go of Qiao Jiabao.
Qiao Jiabao ran away, and Cen Juan's men wanted to chase him, but were stopped by Cen Juan.
"Let him run. Don't worry, he won't be able to run far. He will definitely go back to the orphanage." Cen Juan had already predicted that Qiao Jiabao would have nowhere to go except the orphanage.
"Boss, let's go to the orphanage and block him now!" The subordinates immediately understood Cen Juan's meaning.
Cen Juan extended her hand and said, "Don't worry. Our main target right now is Gu Tingchen. Qiao Jiabao is being kept in an orphanage for the time being. I'm his mother, and he'll come back to me sooner or later."
"How's the land going?" Cen Juan asked seriously with a darkened look in her eyes.
The subordinate answered truthfully: "Gu Tingchen always offers a price one percent higher than ours."
"Hmph, it seems like he's determined to get this piece of land. Just give it to him. We don't want it anymore. Let's stop." Cen Juan sneered, a look of triumph in her eyes.
"Boss, you are so wise. Even if Gu Tingchen buys this land now, it will be many times higher than the market price, so he will lose money if he buys it." The subordinate's eyes lit up and he took the opportunity to flatter Cen Juan.
Cen Juan sneered complacently. This was exactly the effect she wanted. She would only be happy if Gu Tingchen paid her money, or even went bankrupt!
So soon, Cen Juan stopped bidding, but at this time, she received a message from the seller, telling her that Gu Tingchen had already released the news to the public, saying that the Gu Group had failed, and Cen Juan had to buy this land whether she wanted to or not!
"What's the logic? Are you trying to force me to buy or sell?" Cen Juan was annoyed.
The seller's voice was filled with impatience. "Boss Cen, the Gu Group has already given up. You can't beat them."
"What if I just don't buy it?" Cen Juan frowned.
"Then you can just wait to pay the penalty for breach of contract. It's more cost-effective to buy the land. At least you get the land." The seller hung up the phone.
Only then did Cen Juan understand that the Gu Group had withdrawn long ago, and that the 1% price in the later period was completely false information released by him!
"Damn it!" Cen Juan cursed angrily.
Originally, she wanted to play Gu Tingchen into the game, but she didn't expect that in the end, it was Gu Tingchen who played her into the game!
The subordinate knew that it was his own fault that caused Cen Juan to pay compensation, so he stepped forward to apologize tremblingly: "Boss, I'm sorry..."
Before he could even finish saying the word "I'm sorry", Cen Juan kicked his subordinate to the ground, stomped on him with her high heels, and kicked him wildly, making him scream in pain.
"Damn it! Why don't you just die!" Cen Juan was tired of kicking and finally withdrew her feet.
However, his subordinate had been kicked so badly that he didn't dare to resist at all. Soon, he was carried away.
The ground was covered in blood. Cen Juan wiped her heels without any care, with a perverted and cold look in her eyes.
"Gu Tingchen! Just wait for me!" Cen Juan growled viciously.
At the same time, Gu Group.
Gu Tingchen sat at his desk with a huge floor-to-ceiling window behind him. The sunlight shining in from his back made his face look a little gloomy.
Wu Wei walked in and told Gu Tingchen that they had won the contest again.
Gu Tingchen raised his eyebrows, "It was expected."
"I monitored the call with the seller and found out that he called the other party Boss Cen."
"Is it Boss Cen or Boss Chen?" Gu Tingchen frowned slightly, somewhat doubting his ears.
Wu Wei recalled briefly, his eyes becoming certain, "It should be Boss Cen."
Gu Tingchen's lips moved slightly as he recited these three words. Suddenly, Cen Juan's figure appeared in his mind. He curled his lips and sneered, "So it's her. If you want to play, you can. I'll play with her."
"Who are you talking about?" Wu Wei was still kept in the dark.
Gu Tingchen immediately packed up his things and looked up at Wu Wei. "Leave all the work at hand to Mo Cheng. Go back and be responsible for protecting the safety of Jiang Ranran and the children, especially Qiao Jiabao."
"Qiao Jiabao?" Wu Wei confirmed again in surprise.
Since when did he become responsible for Qiao Jiabao's safety?
"Well, this Cen Juan is Qiao Jiabao's mother. I think she will definitely go to the orphanage to ask for the child." Gu Tingchen guessed Cen Juan's thoughts. At the same time, Gu Tingchen also concluded that Qiao Jiabao might not be willing to go with Cen Juan.
Wu Wei nodded and agreed to everything.
Soon, the Gu family's defenses increased, and even Jiang Ranran's company strengthened its surveillance system, as well as the orphanage. As long as Wu Wei could think of a place, the security system was strengthened.
As long as a suspicious person appears, Wu Wei will intervene immediately.
The movement was so big that it quickly attracted Jiang Ranran's attention. After Gu Tingchen returned home, Jiang Ranran immediately chased him and asked, "Has anything happened recently? Why do I see Wu Wei increasing security everywhere?"
"It's Cen Juan. I guess she's going to make trouble." Gu Tingchen said without hiding anything.
"Cen Juan?" Jiang Ranran repeated the name, and suddenly realized that she might be the one who abused Qiao Jiabao. She couldn't help but feel a pang of pain in her heart. What was she doing? Was she going to bring Qiao Jiabao back and abuse him again?
Gu Tingchen told Jiang Ranran about his battles with Cen Juan over the past few days. Jiang Ranran couldn't help but be surprised. Cen Juan was just a noble lady who had never done any housework. How could she have such a powerful influence?
