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

Chapter 235 I'll Treat You to a Drink

"..."

Madam Lan watched Gu Yanli's retreating figure with an indifferent expression. "What's wrong with that kind of place? It's not like we're doing anything shameful. Why can't we go? Gu Yanli, a man should be more magnanimous. Don't be so petty. It's easy for girls to dislike you."

Gu Yanli ignored the sounds behind him and called Su Yiran after returning to his room, but the call was always busy.

Finally, the call went through on the third attempt.

"A Yan..."

Su Yiran's voice came through the phone.

"So you're finally willing to answer the phone?"

On the other side, Su Yiran raised an eyebrow at Gu Yanli's sarcastic tone and explained, "My phone had no signal just now, so I didn't hear it. I'm sorry."

"I do not accept your apology."

Gu Yanli said calmly, "Where have you been? Your son is hungry."

"..."

Another busy signal came through the phone.

"..."

Gu Yanli frowned even more deeply, muttered a curse under his breath, and then quickly fell silent when he realized his son was still beside him.

……

gallery.

Su Yiran had just stepped out of the elevator when she saw her phone call suddenly end. Feeling confused, she was about to call back when she saw Liu Ying approaching.

"Sister Yiran, Miss Wang has arrived."

Su Yiran put down her phone. "Please let her in."

"Yes."

Liu Ying pushed open the door and went out, only to see Wang Yanxi walk straight in.

“I just went to your house, I was just looking forward to seeing your son, but I heard you weren’t home, so I thought you were here.”

As soon as Wang Yanxi came in, she casually tossed her handbag onto the sofa and took off her sunglasses. "You're really generous. The child is still so young, yet you still manage to go out so early."

Su Yiran said softly, "He's at home, I don't need to worry about him."

Wang Yanxi knew who "he" referred to.

"It's you instead."

Su Yiran looked at her and asked, "Why did you come here? Have you finished your work on the film set?"

"My scenes were finished yesterday, and I don't have anything to do today, so I came to find you. Let's go together this afternoon."

Wang Yanxi smiled and said, "It's Peng Wenjing. I'd like to ask you for some advice."

"..."

really.

A visit without a reason is never a good one.

"I'm very busy, I don't have time."

Su Yiran refused.

"Yiyi, don't worry, I won't take up much of your time. It's just a phone call, very simple."

Wang Yanxi held Su Yiran's hand, "My dear Yiran, please help me. If you don't help me, I'll just stay here and not leave."

Annoyed by the noise, Su Yiran said, "Tell me what it is first."

“Peng Wenjing will also be attending the wrap party today. Have Mr. Gu call him and find some excuse to send him away.”

Wang Yanxi held her hand tightly, "Please, if I attend the same event as him and people find out, they'll start gossiping again. I'm already overwhelmed by all this."

"This is the wrap party for the film crew. There shouldn't be any reporters there, so why would they..."

"Yes, you have no idea how outrageous they are."

Wang Yanxi was exasperated. "A while ago, we were at a banquet on a sunset cruise ship. It was supposed to be very private, but somehow, they managed to photograph me and him together. It was just us. It's unbelievable."

"..."

Listening to her words, Su Yiran roughly guessed what was going on. "Didn't you ever think that this has little to do with paparazzi reporters?"

No matter how capable those reporters were, they couldn't possibly get on the cruise ship, let alone take photos and bring them out safely.

"So I'm nipping all possibilities in the bud now. As long as I'm not with Peng Wenjing, they won't have any topics to stir up, and I can rest peacefully for a while."

Wang Yanxi placed all her hopes on Su Yiran, "Yiyi, it's just a small favor. You talk to Mr. Gu and if this is done, you, no, your whole family will be my saviors!"

"..."

Su Yiran wanted to refuse.

After all, Gu Yanli hadn't been in a good mood these past two days, but she couldn't persuade her otherwise, so she had no choice but to bite the bullet and call Gu Yanli.

Hearing that the other party had agreed, Wang Yanxi felt completely relieved.

Only Su Yiran found it inexplicable.

When did Gu Yanli become so easy to talk to?

The sun rises from the west.

Su Yiran was very busy, and when she was busy, she put all her doubts to the back of her mind.

3pm.

Su Yiran and Wang Yanxi arrived at the club together.

All the actors, investors, and sponsors were present.

Although Su Yiran's gallery has some reputation in the industry, it is insignificant compared to other well-known brands.

When Wang Yanxi returned from her stroll, she saw Su Yiran sitting in the corner and walked over. "Since you're here, shall I show you around and introduce you to everyone?"

"Don't go."

Su Yiran shook her head, "I have social anxiety."

"..."

Wang Yanxi looked at her in shock, as if she had heard a joke. "You have social anxiety? I'd rather believe the sun rises in the west tomorrow than believe your nonsense!"

"What I said is true."

Su Yiran nodded seriously.

Wang Yanxi was speechless. Just as she was about to say something, she was called away.

Su Yiran returned to peace and quiet.

There will be plenty of time for socializing at the banquet later; now is my time.

But the next second, a glass of wine suddenly appeared in front of Su Yiran.

"This lady."

A man appeared in front of her and pushed the glass of red wine in his hand toward her, saying, "I'll treat you to a drink."

"..."

Su Yiran looked up and her gaze fell on him. He had blond hair, wore an earring, a gold chain around his neck, and a gold ring on his hand.

That's so tacky.

This was Su Yiran's first impression.

And this old-fashioned charade is completely outdated, yet he's still using it.

It's even more outdated now.

Su Yiran glanced at him. "I don't drink, thank you."

The man became even more persistent, handing her the wine again. "I'm the second male lead in this drama. Give me some face, let's be friends. If I get any good opportunities in the future, I'll introduce you to them first."

"..."

Su Yiran raised an eyebrow.

So they mistook her for one of those unknown actresses?

"I think you're just as good-looking as the lead actress, and I can't bear to see you keep playing minor roles."

As the man spoke, a hand suddenly reached out.

"What are you doing!"

With lightning-fast reflexes, Su Yiran dodged his groping hand and instead grabbed a glass of red wine from the table, splashing it on his face. "Are you out of your mind?!"

The commotion was quite loud and was spotted by a group of people who had just entered.

Wang Zeshen looked up and immediately saw the figure in front of him. He glanced at the man beside him and said, "Brother Yan, it's your wife."

Gu Yanli's gaze was fixed on what was in front of him, his eyes darkened slightly, and his thin lips were pressed tightly together. "That man should be from your company."

Upon hearing this, Wang Zeshen's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately ordered someone to investigate.

There were too many people in the company; he couldn't remember who was there.

A moment later, the assistant returned and nodded to him.
