Assistant to My Contracted Husband

It actually escalated to involve Bon.

This Gail... Fortunately, she knew that she was Mrs. Gu, that she was JR.

Otherwise... she would probably be fuming by now.

Jian Ran pursed her lips, her gaze shifting towards Gu Mochen lying on the hospital bed, her expression darkening, as she, Mrs. Gu, had caused trouble for Mo Chen.

The issue of plagiarism could be a major or minor one, but... regardless of its magnitude, and whether or not plagiarism occurred, the rumors it sparked were extremely unpleasant.

Thinking of this, Jian Ran’s eyes darkened, but Mo Chen on the bed remained unfazed, calmly stating,

"Mrs. Gail... I thought it was something significant... Turns out it’s just a trivial matter, irrelevant and not based on facts, I simply don’t take it to heart."

Jian Ran: "..."

Clearly, Mrs. Gail’s implication was to criticize Mo Chen, yet... Gu Mochen was like a debtor, incredibly imposing.

Was it necessary... to be so bold and righteous? He didn’t even bother explaining.

Upon hearing this, a trace of admiration flickered in Jian Ran’s beautiful eyes. She and Gu Mochen were definitely cast from the same mold; when an issue arose, they would never willingly expose their vulnerabilities, instead, they would crush the opposition with their own momentum.

By doing so... she would buy herself some time to manage the aftermath during the negotiations.

Mrs. Gail did not expect Mo Chen to respond that way... her face revealing her awkwardness.

"Mr. Gu... Please, don’t be upset. I didn’t mean to doubt you or your esteemed wife, it’s just... these design projects are worth hundreds of millions, and your wife’s work... I’ve even taken it to compete internationally. If there are any discrepancies, I believe your Carlo can handle it, but my Bon really can’t afford to."

Hearing this, Gu Mochen pursed his lips slightly, his expression softening as his narrow eyes narrowed, reflecting a hint of seriousness.

"Hmm... I understand what you’re saying, but... in a partnership, what’s important is mutual trust. Rest assured Mrs. Gail, the Gu Family will certainly give you an explanation for this matter."

"If that’s the case, then all the better... It’s an honor for me to work with you and your esteemed wife... but as businessmen... there are copyright and credits involved in the initial design agreement... Now, these designs are not solely owned by the Gu Family anymore, but also by Bon. Should there be an issue, there ought to be compensation... Although, Mr. Gu, as friends, I expect..."

Her implication was clear...

If there was a problem, Bon wanted compensation.

That was Mrs. Gail’s goal...

When there was money to be made, everyone was happy to make it together.

If there were any issues, it should be agreed upon in advance... she couldn’t take the loss, you had to fill in the gaps.

Truly an old fox.

Jian Ran’s understanding of Mrs. Gail had truly deepened.

Gu Mochen didn’t say much, but simply nodded lightly.

"Hmm... but Jian Ran’s designs... they were flawlessly showcased at the European design exhibition..."

"Understood!"

Ah... so Mr. Gu wanted to support Mrs. Gu.

Mrs. Gail quickly caught on...

In the future, Jian Ran’s design works would become even more valuable as her renown grew.

It was evident that Bon was getting the better deal.

Realizing this, Mrs. Gail hurriedly exchanged a few more pleasantries with Mo Chen before hanging up the phone.
