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

Chapter 108 What's the point of saying all this now?

"Uncle Zhong, last night I..."

What happened last night had been weighing on Su Yiran's mind, but as soon as she spoke, Uncle Zhong interrupted her, "Let's eat first, we can talk about other things later."

"……it is good."

Su Yiran nodded and agreed.

She didn't ask any more questions after the meal.

after the end.

It was Uncle Zhong himself who brought it up.

Did I bump into you and hurt you last night?

Uncle Zhong reached out, wanting to touch her forehead, but his hand hovered in mid-air before he finally lowered it.

"I am fine."

Su Yiran shook her head and laughed, "I'm not made of tofu, I'm not that fragile."

“Last night… I’m sorry, Uncle Zhong apologizes to you.”

"What's wrong, Uncle Zhong? Has something happened? Tell us and we'll figure out a solution together."

Uncle Zhong looked at her for a long time before continuing, "I also want to apologize for the injury on the back of your head."

Injury to the back of the head?

Hearing Uncle Zhong's words, Su Yiran's heart suddenly started racing. "What does my injury have to do with you? It's all the Liu family's fault..."

"it's me."

Uncle Zhong interrupted her, his two short words delivering a blow to Su Yiran's head.

"You...you're talking nonsense. Has something happened recently? We..."

“Yiyi, what I said is true. Gu Yanli knows about this.”

……

Su Yiran sat in the French restaurant until evening, and people came and went around her, but she was still there.

"Back then, I was on good terms with your father, but my purpose was the same as the Liu family's: to get their project proposal. At that time, their team was leaderless, and not only me and the Liu family, but many outsiders were watching."

Su Yiran's mind was in turmoil, as if countless tangled threads were tightly binding her, making it hard for her to breathe.

“You were on good terms with your father, but I was young then and didn’t have much contact with you. Why did you…”

“In the days following your father’s passing, I went to your house and sneaked into the study to find that project proposal, but coincidentally, you were in the study at that time.”

Uncle Zhong said, "Once you're discovered, your fear will be amplified. I was afraid you'd tell, so I took advantage of your inattention and struck you hard."

Hearing his words, Su Yiran felt as if all her strength had been drained away. "Then why... have you been so good to me all these years? Why are you saying these things to me now?"

"Afterwards, I searched your house again but found nothing. Later, I heard that you went to the Liu family. When I first approached you, I did want to use you to get the project plan. But after spending more time with you, I realized that money and power were not important... It was only later, with the appearance of Gu Yanli and your relationship with him, that my resentment that I had suppressed for more than ten years resurfaced. If I can't have it, the Liu family shouldn't have it either."

Gu Yanli knows about this, and he'll definitely find a chance to tell you sooner or later... I've thought about it for a long time, and I've decided to tell you in person. I admit I coveted what your father had, but I haven't done anything else to harm your family.”

Uncle Zhong tried to take her hand, but she dodged it. He apologized, "I'm sorry, Yiran. I regretted it as soon as I hit you with that stick. Luckily, you're not seriously injured."

"What's the point of saying this now?"

Su Yiran gave a self-deprecating sneer.

He had repeatedly told her not to investigate the past, and she thought he was worried about her safety. Later, he agreed to let her investigate, and she was genuinely happy that someone understood her. However, all of this was just him using her to take revenge on the Liu family.

"Approaching me in an attempt to obtain a solution from me? You think too highly of me."

To this day, she still doesn't know where they've been hiding the project plans for the past ten years or so.

"So, where is my mother?"

"I do not know."

Uncle Zhong shook his head, "I've searched for them all these years, but there's been no news. I'm afraid the chances of them dying are slim."

"You bullshit!"

Su Yiran's face paled, and her gaze towards the other person turned much colder.

Uncle Zhong lowered his head and didn't say anything.

"still have a question."

Su Yiran took a deep breath. "Why did you come to France?"

"If I can't stay in China, Gu Yanli won't let me go."

"So you think that by hiding in France, Gu Yanli will let you off the hook?"

"What do you mean?"

Su Yiran met Uncle Zhong's gaze. "Uncle Zhong, let's go. Let's leave France and go anywhere."

She still softened her heart.

All of France is within Gu Yanli's sphere of influence, so Uncle Zhong's appearance here is undoubtedly walking into a trap.

She didn't want to dwell on the past, except for the Liu family.

"Yiyi, I..."

"Please don't call me that."

Su Yiran withdrew her gaze and lowered her eyes. "You should leave quickly. Once Gu Yanli's people arrive, it won't be so easy for you to leave."

She left the Sangleviga estate without permission, and after such a long time, they must have noticed.

Gu Yanli is probably going to get angry again.

"Yiran, it's Uncle Zhong's fault for letting you down."

Uncle Zhong looked at her intently, then got up and left the restaurant.

Su Yiran sat there for an unknown amount of time, the empty wine bottle on the table lying face upside down.

Until the phone rang.

Gu Yanli called.

She was silent for a moment before answering the call.

"Yiyi, you..."

"Did you already know about Uncle Zhong's matter?"

Su Yiran spoke first.

Gu Yanli did not deny it. "You saw him?"

"Ah."

Su Yiran responded, "Let's leave the past behind."

Gu Yanli said, "Yiyi, you're still too soft-hearted."

"So what can I do, Gu Yanli? Tell me, what can I do?"

Su Yiran took a deep breath. "After my family's accident, I treated the thief as my mother. He is the only person who has been good to me in the past ten years, besides Meng Ran. I can't turn my back on him."

As she spoke, her sobs filled the screen.

Gu Yanli sighed helplessly, "You've been drinking again. Just stay put, someone will pick you up later."

"No... I don't want to go back."

Su Yiran shook her head and staggered to her feet. "I need to find Ayan. Ayan is filming nearby. I need to go... I need to go see her!"

"Yiyi, stop fooling around!"

"I'm not making trouble!"

"Yiran, listen to me, stay put and wait here!"

"I've been very obedient, so please don't yell at me anymore!"

"Okay, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have yelled at you, but you..."

Su Yiran frowned as she listened to the voice on the phone. She hung up, hailed a car on the side of the road, and mumbled a place name in her daze.

Although she was drunk and confused, she still remembered where Wang Yanxi's scenes were filmed.

One is on the east side, and the other is on the west side.

Su Yiran sat in the back seat and obediently fastened her seatbelt.
