"I'm with your husband now, I'm getting married to him!"

In front of Lin Ran, the coffee was still steaming, wafting lazily, just like the impression she gave at the moment.

According to the standard playbook of wealthy family romance novels, Lin Ran should now pick up her coffee and mercilessly splash it on the woman across from her, then proceed to put on a theatrical drama of the year, tearing a mistress apart with bare hands.

Regrettably, the real world deviates from novels, besides, she isn't the female lead in this incident.

Or rather, she isn't the TRUE female lead!

So after hearing the other party's comment, Lin Ran simply raised her eyebrows indifferently and nonchalantly said to the woman:

"Great! Congratulations, but, that's your issue."

The woman sitting across was taken aback, seemingly never expected Lin Ran to react this way. It's as if she had readied herself with seventy-two combat techniques, but her adversary does not play by the rules at all, completely dumbfounding her with a single comment right off the bat.

The woman sat there, quietly sizing up Lin Ran—her skin fair like porcelain, eyebrows slightly raised and lips slightly pursed. Only her eyes, seemingly calm, gave off an inexplicable aloofness that sends chills down anyone's spine within a three-meter radius.

One should know, no woman would remain so calm when a mistress comes knocking on her door.

And yet, the person before her…

The woman hesitated:

"You should get a divorce! How can I marry him if you don't divorce?"

"Oh!" Upon hearing this, Lin Ran nonchalantly shrugged her shoulders: "I’m sorry, but that's his issue!"

"…"

The expression on the woman's face finally started to crack:

"I'm with your husband every day, we're very close!"

"Hehe."

At the sound of that, Lin Ran couldn't help but chuckle:

"That's your business with him, no need to report it to me! But since you've reported it, I'll approve it.

Oh, right, I should remind you to be mindful of contraception. Don't end up with a child when you can't afford to have one."

"You... How do you know we can't afford it?"

The woman was at a loss. She had been so confident before, but now, in the face of Lin Ran, the words she was about to say began to stumble.

"Because he gave all his money to me!"

Lin Ran spoke as if it were the most casual thing in the world, with a smirk at the corner of her mouth, charming yet with a slightly wicked air:

"Even if he did give you any, it was with my permission. Think about it - a man who's had too much rice will always want some spicy hot pot on the side.

Although he knows it's trash, he can't restrain himself. I have to give him some trash money, right?"

"I... I'm going to have a baby, want to see if you divorce or not!"

"Of course I won't divorce. When you're giving birth, let me know. I'll bring people from the court over. Bigamy is a crime, you know!"

Leaning lazily in her chair, Lin Ran's deep brown eyes remained unnerving, yet the light they cast was as sharp as two finely honed blades, effectively disarming the woman facing her.

"Can... can you accept your husband being with another woman?"

"Sure, I can!"

Lin Ran still had the hint of a smile and said:

"Free chicken is always more cost-effective than the ones you have to pay for. I can use the money that he saves to buy a chicken to supplement myself.

So...

Cheers to your freebie lasting a long time!"

After saying this, Lin Ran slowly stood up and walked away without looking back.

The weather in September was still scorching, but whether it was due to the excessive air conditioning in the cafe or something else, the woman felt a bone-chilling coldness.

This woman…

The so-called "original partner" was not someone she could handle!

…

Lin Ran walked out of the cafe and expressionlessly approached a black sedan parked on the side, opened the passenger door, and climbed in.

In the driver's seat was a woman with exquisite makeup and professional attire. She clearly carried the demeanor of a skilled professional. She was the real leading lady in the incident that just happened - the official wife who was cheated on!

And Lin Ran was nothing more than a stand-in.

"Lin Ran, you indeed did not disappoint me!"

The woman takes off her headphones. Every occurrence that just happened in the cafe, she heard it clear as crystal through these headphones.

Ignoring the context, Lin Ran raised her hand to rub her neck:

"Linda, your matter is settled, but what about mine?"

Upon hearing this, the woman addressed as Linda had a momentary twitch in the corner of her eye, but still replied,

"Don't worry, I have already arranged for your entry into Hong Ji."

"In three days, I will be waiting for your call."

Having said that, Lin Ran proceeded to open the car door and stepped out.


The street was crowded with people and vehicles that streamed incessantly. As Linda watched Lin Ran's cold yet somewhat somber figure disappear into the crowd through her car window, she was left utterly confused as to why the boss would want to hire such a living devil into the company, and in this way of all possible ways, no less!

She needs to remember, in those years in Beicheng, no one could match the wildness of Lin Ran.

Thinking of this, Linda couldn't help but shake her head, trying to guess the boss' intentions was always beyond her!

She regained her focus, Linda took out her phone and dialed a number.

The call was picked up swiftly:

"Hello?"

A deep and heavy voice came from the receiver, cold as if wrapped in ice. Even through the phone, Linda could still feel a bone-chilling coldness.
