Chapter 2 : Glorious Return

• Five years later
• Jiangcheng International Airport
• The crowd jostled and pushed, and a slender figure emerged, pushing a luggage cart with two large suitcases. Two children followed closely beside her.
• The woman was beautiful and slender, with a casual bun on her head. Her delicate features and fair skin made her look pure and captivating, capturing everyone's attention.
• The two children, about four or five years old, were equally attractive. The boy on the left wore a white shirt, blue suspenders, and jeans, with a baseball cap that made him look handsome.
• The little girl on the right was as delicate as a doll, with a ponytail tied up. Her thick bangs covered her fair forehead, and a butterfly-shaped bow was tied to her ponytail, making her eyes clear and bright, and irresistibly cute.
• As they walked out, the onlookers couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.
• "Are they twins? They look so good!"
• "They look like models. Who are their godlike parents? They have great genes!"
• ...
• But they seemed accustomed to such attention.
• "Mummy, when will big brother come back?" The little girl asked with a soft and sweet voice.
• "Well, well, big brother still has an advertisement to shoot. Aunt Tang Jing will come back with him." The woman gently touched the little girl's head and replied tenderly.
• Yes, it was Jian Ran. After five years, she had finally returned!
• Jian Ran saw everything familiar, but her eyes gradually turned cold, and her thoughts drifted away.
• Five years had passed, and she had returned to this city that had once broken her heart.
• Back then, she had agreed to sell herself for twenty thousand yuan to pay for her mother's medical expenses. Unexpectedly, due to a mix-up, she entered the wrong room and had a passionate night with a stranger. After that night, she became pregnant, and to make matters worse, she was carrying rare triplets.
• When she found out, the doctor said it was too late for an abortion as it would endanger her life, so she had no choice but to give birth. But as time went on, she grew to love these children more and more.
• Jian Ping and Jian An were her sons, and Jian Le was her daughter.
• All three children were talented. Jian Ping had a calm personality and was skilled in computer programming, showing remarkable talent at such a young age.
• Jian An was more lively and had recently been discovered by talent scouts. He was now a little star.
• Jian Le was innocent and adorable, a little foodie who loved drawing.
• These three children were the best gifts that heaven had given her!
• Over the years, she was most grateful for her good friend Lan Lan. It was because of her that she had what she had today.
• When she ran out of the Jian family villa back then and got into an accident, it was Lan Lan who saved her. Her mother's attack had left her devastated, but it was Lan Lan who encouraged and helped her to study abroad.
• So, she chose her favorite major in fashion design. Through hard work, she won several international awards and became a renowned fashion designer known as JR internationally. However, she kept a low profile, and not many people knew about her true identity.
• After winning the awards, many well-known foreign companies approached her, but Jian Ran remained unmoved.
• Coincidentally, the design department of Jiangcheng's leading company, Haoting Group, was recruiting a chief designer. To avoid unnecessary complications, she concealed her identity as JR and applied with her experience as an award-winning designer. She was immediately hired, so she chose to return to her home country.
• Five years had allowed her to mature and become more resilient. She could no longer run away; it was time to face everything.
• Moreover, she had learned that Jian Rou was about to hold an important press conference, and she had prepared a "big gift" for her!
• "Mummy, what's wrong with you?" Jian Ping noticed that Jian Ran was lost in thought and couldn't help but speak up.
• "It's nothing. Let's go. Aunt Lan Lan is probably waiting for us at home." Jian Ran snapped back to reality and said gently.
• "Mummy, I need to go to the restroom." Jian Le suddenly looked urgent.
• "Then let Mummy take you." Jian Ran offered.
• "No need, Mummy. I'll take her. You can call for the car. Didn't Aunt Lan Lan arrange for a car to pick us up?" Jian Ping calmly said, and then he led Jian Le towards the restroom.
• Jian Ran nodded. In fact, all three children were independent and intelligent. She had no worries at all.
• Jian Le went to the ladies' restroom alone. As she walked out after washing her hands, she bumped into someone at a corner. She had been careful, but the other person seemed to be in a hurry and rushed in without looking.
• Jian Le almost fell, but she quickly grabbed the person's skirt.
• Before she could steady herself, the person scolded her.
• "You little brat, can't you watch where you're going? And you got your dirty hands on my skirt."
• After saying that, Jian Rou forcefully shook off Jian Le's hand.
• Jian Rou was furious. She had just returned from International Fashion Week, and this was the first time she wore this dress. It was a limited edition by the designer JR, and she wore it today because she was going to meet Ting Jue.
• She didn't expect to be touched by this dirty little brat. How unlucky!
• "Auntie, you bumped into me first." Jian Le frowned and said, her hand now red from being slapped.
• This aunt was really mean, not cute at all!
• "You little brat, how dare you talk back? Do you know how expensive this dress is? It's a limited edition by the international master JR. Forget it, you wouldn't understand. Be careful when you walk, or I won't be polite to you." Jian Rou warned harshly, then checked the time. Ting Jue would be here soon, and she had convinced him to come. She couldn't waste any more time.
• "My mommy is a fashion designer. She can design a dress for you. The clothes she designs are really beautiful." Jian Le proudly retorted. Her mommy was amazing!
• Jian Rou sneered and said, "You think your mommy is a fashion designer just because she can sew a few clothes? This dress is a limited edition by the international master JR. Forget it, you wouldn't understand. Be careful when you walk, or I won't be polite to you."
• With that, Jian Rou quickly walked into the restroom.
• Jian Le made a face at her retreating figure. Hmph! This mean aunt would regret it. Her mommy was amazing! She looked forward to seeing her make the aunt lick her toes!
• Jian Le didn't want to keep her mommy waiting, so she quickly left.
• Jian Ping noticed her frowning and asked, "Why did it take so long?"
• "Girls are a bit more troublesome!" Jian Le replied mischievously. She didn't want them to know about what had just happened, so they wouldn't worry.
• Jian Ran was about to go look for them when she finally saw them and felt relieved.
• She had just made a phone call, and the car that came to pick them up was already waiting outside.
• As soon as they came out, they saw the car, and Jian Ran led them into it.
• The car left the airport and headed towards the city center.
• "Bang..."
• Just then, the car suddenly screeched to a halt, followed by a loud crash.
• Jian Ran had only one thought in her mind: she hadn't checked the almanac before leaving today, and now they had gotten into an accident...
