After being dumped, I turned around and married my ex-boyfriend's younger brother.

Chapter 256 Sweetheart

Seeing that Shen Yi was about to interrogate her, Su Yiran spoke up first, "I really didn't know that the horse your sister was riding would suddenly become violent, I..."

"But why did I hear that she got into this mess because she was pursuing you?"

Shen Yi's tone was indifferent, as if she was convinced that this matter was inextricably linked to her.

However, she couldn't refute that point.

She was so focused on her surroundings that she momentarily forgot there was someone following her and unconsciously rode a little faster.

Shen Yan did get into trouble because she was trying to catch up with her.

"So what do you want?"

Su Yiran looked at him and said, "To spare your sister from further harm, I've already ruined myself like this, even disfigured. Do you know how important a girl's face is?"

Shen Yan's injury wasn't serious; at most, she only had a few scrapes.

"What, so concerned about your appearance? Do you have someone you like?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Yi leaned down to look at her, "Who is she? Where is she from?"

Su Yiran looked up and met eyes that were inches away from hers, and was startled. "What are you doing!"

"What should I do?"

Shen Yi chuckled, "Is it inconvenient to talk about your sweetheart?"

"..."

Su Yiran frowned. "You seem quite concerned about who my sweetheart is. Could it be that you have feelings for me?"

"It's quite interesting indeed."

Shen Yi nodded, catching Su Yiran off guard, who stared at him blankly.

"You're not simple."

Shen Yi said, "If it were an ordinary person, they would be terrified upon learning that they had been abducted. But you actually have the leisure to ride horses and play around. Don't you find that too strange?"

"What's so strange about it? Can't I be brave? But you're the one who's talking strangely. You went through all that trouble and spent a million to buy me from human traffickers just to take care of your sister. A nanny is worth so much, don't you think it's a huge loss?"

“It’s really a waste to have a nanny, but Yan Yan needs a sister-in-law.”

"..."

Su Yiran's heart pounded.

“But your intentions are impure, and you are not suitable to marry into this family.”

"Thank you, but I know I'm not suitable. Please don't even think about marrying me. I'm not good enough for you! And these legs of mine, if they don't heal properly, they could become crippled. Mr. Shen, are you going to support a cripple for the rest of your life?"

"It's not impossible. After all, we've already spent a million, so we won't miss your mouth to eat."

"...Thank you so much, thank you so much from the bottom of my heart."

"You're welcome."

Shen Yi stood up, preparing to leave, but then stopped, as if remembering something, and turned to look at her. "What is your relationship with the Gu family of Kyoto?"

"what?"

Kyoto Family!

"nothing."

Shen Yi met her surprised gaze and said, "Considering you're injured, I'll let you rest for a few days. Just stay here for the next few days."

"..."

Su Yiran rolled her eyes at him, no longer wanting to talk to him.

They locked her in the room, ostensibly to let her rest.

It's really ridiculous.

But since she couldn't leave the room, she had even less chance to go out.

She could only place her hopes on Shen Yan.

Fortunately, no sooner had Shen Yi left than Shen Yan knocked on the door and came in.

"elder sister."

Shen Yan walked over to her and looked at her hands and feet. "I'm sorry, sister. I wasn't careful and caused you to get scolded by brother again."

Didn't you say you were going to protect me? Where are you protecting me now?

Su Yiran muttered to herself, but ultimately didn't say it aloud.

She disliked the Shen siblings, but Shen Yan was only a few years old; she couldn't possibly hold a grudge against a little girl.

"Are you and Shen Yi really siblings?"

Su Yiran asked.

Somewhat unbelievable.

The two are at least twenty years apart in age.

"Sister, you've already asked this question before, why don't you believe me?"

Shen Yan tilted her head to look at her.

"What about your parents?"

"My parents... have both passed away."

Shen Yan hugged Su Yiran and said, "I have never seen my parents since I can remember. My brother raised me. He is very good to me. You will marry my brother and become my sister-in-law. We will be a family."

"Did your brother tell you?"

"No, I chose you. I like you, and my brother doesn't seem to dislike you like he does with other women, so you're going to be my sister-in-law. Sister, can I call you sister-in-law from now on?"

"Can't!"

Upon hearing this, Su Yiran was so frightened that she quickly spoke up to stop him, "Your brother and I have no relationship now, and we never will. You can't say things like that."

"Why?"

Shen Yan didn't understand. "Is there anything wrong with my brother? He's handsome, rich, and everyone listens to him. If you became my sister-in-law, you definitely wouldn't suffer any grievances. Or was it that my brother spoke too harshly before and made you angry, so you don't like him anymore?"

"..."

I've never liked it.

"Don't mention this again, or I'll get upset."

Su Yiran frowned and spoke earnestly.

"Okay, sister, I won't tell you."

Shen Yan was not in a good mood.

“That’s a good child.”

Su Yiran patted her head and smiled, "You just said that I'm not like other people that your brother hates. Who are you referring to as other people? Does he also keep many people in your house?"

"Not much, you're all alone now, sister."

Shen Yan said, "My brother originally didn't want you to stay, but I like you, so I pestered him for a long time before he agreed to let you stay here."

"He didn't want me to stay, so he spent money to buy me from someone else. What does that mean?"

“I don’t know. My brother has rescued a few before, but he always sent people to take them away. Those people are so awful. They like to kidnap girls and sell them to Uncle Liu in Jingdong.”

"Sixth Uncle?"

Su Yiran was completely confused. "Who is he? What does he want with these girls?"

"I don't know. My brother never lets me ask about these kinds of things."

As Shen Yan spoke, she looked at Su Yiran's feet and said, "I'll go to the kitchen and get you something to eat. The uncle in the kitchen cooks really well."

"……Okay, thank you."

Su Yiran nodded, watching Shen Yan's departing figure.

She didn't know anything about this area, nor did she know who Shen Yan's sixth uncle from Jingdong was.

But why buy so many girls out of the blue?

This area is remote, has a poor security situation, and is frequented by illegal businesses.

That Uncle Jingdong's business must be shady.

She's too busy taking care of herself to worry about anything else.

I just heard that Shen Yan insisted on keeping her here. If Shen Yan had spoken up, she might have been able to leave.

Therefore, we really need to work on Shen Yan.
