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

Chapter 99 Gu Yanli, Aren't you meddling too much?

"How could I forget?"

Su Yiran looked at Gu Yanli, recalling their meeting when he falsely accused her in front of Meng Jinxing.

“You said your necklace went missing and you suspected me of stealing it. I will never forget that.”

She will remember this for the rest of her life.

"Think again."

Gu Yanli took her hand and placed the necklace in her palm. "Take a good look."

"What do you mean?"

Su Yiran looked at Gu Yanli with a puzzled expression, then her gaze fell on the necklace on her hand.

She looked at it carefully for a long time, but couldn't see anything special about it.

If I had to say something special...

That means it's extremely expensive.

Aside from being expensive, it has no downsides.

Gu Yanli stood in front of her, then suddenly turned to the side, the light shining directly on the necklace on her hand.

The barely noticeable words on the necklace shone through the light onto her palm.

Yi Ran & Yan Li.

"This is……"

Su Yiran then noticed the words on it, "This necklace... we hadn't known each other for long, how could you..."

"Who said we haven't known each other for long?"

Gu Yanli took the necklace from her hand, bent down, and put it around her neck. "Speaking of which, we've known each other for much longer than you've known that guy surnamed Sheng."

Her neck felt cool and refreshing. She reached out and touched the necklace, looking down at it.

Su Yiran frowned as she listened to Gu Yanli's words, "What do you mean? We've known each other for a long time?"

Gu Yanli nodded, thought for a moment, then bent down and gestured to his knees to indicate the height. "When we first met, you were only this tall, and you couldn't even walk steadily. You would fall three times out of every five steps. Every time you fell, you would cry loudly. When you cried, you liked to grab my clothes and wipe your tears."

"..."

Su Yiran bit her lip as she listened to Gu Yanli's words.

She remembered that she grew slowly when she was a child and was much shorter than other children her age, but she had no recollection of what Gu Yanli was saying.

"You're talking nonsense, I have no recollection of that at all?"

"So you're heartless. When we were little, you always followed me around calling me 'brother,' but now that we're grown up, you turn your back on me. Tell me, what else is that but heartlessness?"

"But I really can't remember anything... It's also possible that I injured my head and I really forgot."

"So you just forgot about me?"

"..."

Su Yiran pouted and muttered under her breath, "I can even mistake my own mother..."

No wonder Sheng Jiahe said those things when he saw "Mom".

It turns out she was the only one who couldn't see it.

"Okay, I won't say any more."

Gu Yanli reached out and gently rubbed her furrowed brows.

Because of his work, Su's father had visited the Gu family manor several times. He disliked Gu Yanli when he was a child. Once, he sneaked into Su's father's car and went home with him, where he met Su Yiran when she was a child.

As time went by, Gu Yanli would appear at the Su family's house every few days.

“This necklace was specially designed by me. I originally intended to give it to you personally, but I was assigned to go abroad at the time and couldn’t get away, so I asked your father to give it to you. But later, I saw this necklace at an auction.”

"So this is your excuse for arbitrarily framing me?"

Su Yiran frowned. "It wasn't me... When I came to the Liu family, all my things were taken by my mother... and then she gave them away... I don't know how I ended up at the auction."

She doesn't have a very clear memory of the necklace, firstly because she was young at the time, and secondly because she only had it for two or three days before taking it away.

She only remembered having a necklace, but if asked to describe exactly what it looked like, she wasn't sure she could.

"I know."

"You know it, yet you still lie!"

"I don't like you getting too close to other men."

“We had no relationship back then, aren’t you being too nosy?”

Gu Yanli listened to her and smiled, "So, back then, it was Yiyi, but now that we have a relationship, it's about using power to interfere in your affairs?"

"...I didn't say anything."

Su Yiran denied it and quickly changed the subject, "You still haven't told me that you knew the answer a long time ago, why didn't you tell me the truth?"

"Yiyi, I am selfish."

Gu Yanli said, "There are some things you will only believe after you discover them yourself. Besides, you've even forgotten about me. If I tell you these things and scare you away, I'll have lost out."

Su Yiran twitched the corner of her mouth. "That's just sophistry."

"Yes."

Gu Yanli admitted that he was afraid—afraid that she wouldn't believe him and would distance herself from him.

A loud knocking came from outside the door, and Madam Lan's voice rang out, "Gu Yanli, what have you done to Yiyi? Open the door right now!"

Madam Lan's voice was loud and carried into the room through the door.

Su Yiran looked towards the door, then at Gu Yanli, "Mom is still outside."

“Ever since you entered our family, Mom’s eyes and heart are only for you. On the contrary, I, her own son, am dispensable.”

Judging from the noise outside, if the door hadn't been locked from the inside, she would have beaten her up with a stick.

"Gu Yanli."

Su Yiran reached out and took Gu Yanli's hand. "No matter what, thank you."

"I'm still investigating your mother's matter, don't worry."

"it is good--"

The knocking on the door continued, even becoming more aggressive.

Gu Yanli lifted the person off the table, looked at her face, and said softly, "I'll go open the door."

"I'll go."

Su Yiran took the initiative to open the door.

"Gu Yanli!"

Madam Lan was knocking on the door when it suddenly opened. She was about to burst into a tirade when she saw the small figure appear behind the door. The curses that were about to come out of her mouth were swallowed back down. "Yiyi, how are you? Did he bully you?"

Su Yiran shook her head, "Mom, I'm fine."

"With such red eyes, how could you be alright?"

Madam Lan looked at her with heartache and comforted her, "Did Gu Yanli threaten you and not let you tell me the truth? Don't worry, even if the sky falls, your mother will support you. Under my watchful eye, that guy won't be able to bully you."

"I'm fine, Mom. He didn't bully me."

"Really?"

"real."

Seeing Su Yiran's determination, Madam Lan didn't say anything more.

Gu Yanli appeared behind Su Yiran, a smug smile on his face.

This scene was witnessed by Madam Lan.

"You kid!"

Just as Madam Lan was about to go in to confront him, Su Yiran stopped her. "Mom, I'm hungry. Is there anything to eat?"

"Yes, Mom was so angry with that kid that she forgot. The food is ready in the kitchen, let's go down and eat."

"Okay, Mom, I'll go change my clothes first."

Su Yiran turned around and went back to her room.

Madam Lan watched the departing figure, then walked over and patted Gu Yanli on the shoulder. "What happened?"
