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

Chapter 72 If you've been harsher to He Rui, don't be harsher to her again.

Su Yiran's smile carried a sly, stealthy quality. Gu Yanli took in the change in her expression and raised an eyebrow. "Madam, you should rest early. No need."

Su Yiran's sudden attentiveness must mean she's up to something.

"Yes, I do. My head hurts if my hair stays wet for too long."

Su Yiran jumped off the bed, ran to get the hairdryer, pulled Gu Yanli to sit down, plugged it in, and dried his hair directly.

The man's hair was short, and it dried quickly.

Su Yiran put down the hairdryer and looked at him seriously. "Ayan, there's something I need to tell you."

Gu Yanli waved his hand and lay down on the bed. "I'm tired. We can talk about it tomorrow."

"But I'm not tired yet."

Su Yiran leaned closer, "It's Meng Ran's WeChat Moments, she..."

"Not tired?"

Gu Yanli narrowed his eyes, rolled over and pinned her down. "How come I didn't know my wife had so much energy these days? I remember she used to fall asleep all the time?"

"..."

Su Yiran met Gu Yanli's gaze, realized what he was talking about, her face flushed red, and she avoided his eyes, "Don't change the subject, I'm talking to you about something important."

“What I’m saying is also important,” Gu Yanli said. “It can’t be that only what Yiyi says is important, and what I say isn’t.”

"That's not it at all..."

Su Yiran bit her lip and forced herself to continue her topic, "What Meng Ran's friend wanted to say was that Sheng Jiahe is just an ordinary friend of mine, but people have misunderstood... Ayan, Meng Ran was present every time I met Sheng Jiahe, and she can prove my innocence."

"She's your friend, but you're in cahoots. You can't trust what she says."

Gu Yanli said, "I can believe for now that you have no feelings for him, but I maintain my opinion that he has feelings for you."

What do you mean by "you can believe it temporarily, but you won't believe it later"?

"Who can predict what will happen in the future? After all, Madam Gu is so lustful. I think that guy surnamed Sheng is a complete gigolo, very suitable as your usual choice for a younger brother."

"He's older than me!"

"That's the young man."

"..."

"You're into both older and younger women, aren't you, Mrs. Gu?"

"I'm not going to talk nonsense with you. I'm tired, I'm going to sleep!"

"But I'm not tired anymore, what should I do, Yiyi?"

"……goodbye."

"Ok?"

……

Originally scheduled to stay in Shenzhen for five days, Gu Yanli suddenly came over, firstly to settle accounts with her, and secondly to inspect the situation of the Shenzhen branch of the Gu Group.

Three more days passed in this stay.

Su Yiran returned to Kyoto more than a week later. When He Rui saw her return, he rushed into her arms and exclaimed, "Auntie, why are you only coming back now?"

"What's wrong? Did someone bully you?"

Su Yiran looked at He Rui, and subconsciously glanced at Gu Yanli who came in behind her.

He Rui snuggled closer to Su Yiran, "Uncle has been unhappy these past few days and even yelled at me!"

Gu Yanli stopped in front of them, his deep gaze falling on He Rui, which frightened him so much that he ran back to his room.

"..."

Su Yiran watched the departing figure, then looked at Gu Yanli and asked, "Mr. Gu is in a bad mood, is he taking it out on a child?"

"If you don't take it out on him, you will?"

"..."

That's not necessary.

If you've been harsh with He Rui, don't be harsh with her again.

The next morning, Su Yiran arrived at the gallery early, just to wait for the opportunity.

Meng Ran had just stepped into the office when she saw the person in front of her and turned to run away.

"Meng Ran!"

Su Yiran looked at her, picked up the vase on the table, and said, "If you dare to take one step, I'll smash this!"

Su Yiran knew that Meng Ran liked to collect things. She had bought this vase at a high price a year ago and kept it in her office. It was a real treasure.

"Don't, don't."

Meng Ran walked back with a smile, took the vase from Su Yiran's hands, and placed it far away where Su Yiran couldn't reach it for the time being.

"Meng Ran, I thought you just turned off your phone, I didn't expect you to block me!"

Su Yiran looked at her and said, "You've really gotten me into trouble. Mr. Gu has been bringing this up with me these past few days, and I can't explain it to him anymore."

"The innocent will clear themselves, and besides, I'm just giving you more opportunities to communicate."

"Meng Ran!"

"Okay, okay, keep your voice down, my dear, I'm going deaf."

Meng Ran surrendered, closing the office door behind her. "It was unintentional. I don't know how it got to Mr. Gu's ears. By the time I found out, it was too late to undo it..."

Su Yiran twitched the corner of her mouth. "So you just blocked me?"

"...I'll release you right now!"

Meng Ran fiddled with her phone for a while, then handed it to her for inspection. "It's been released, but it's still under special scrutiny."

"..."

Su Yiran glanced at it, then curled her lips in disdain, "Who cares about your special attention?"

"I like it."

Meng Ran smiled at her and got back to the point, "By the way, those painters I met at the Shenzhen exhibition last time, they and their friends are all interested in collaborating with our gallery. They've arranged to meet up tonight. Shall we go together?"

Su Yiran glanced down at the time.

"You have plans for tonight?"

Meng Ran asked, "With Mr. Gu?"

"No way..."

Su Yiran shook her head. A message popped up on her phone, and her smile faded. "Who made plans with him? Go!"

"Hey, what happened? Did someone stand you up?"

"No!"

Su Yiran left Meng Ran's office dejectedly.

Gu Group.

Gu Yanli stared at the message he had sent, which had gone unanswered for over ten minutes, and pursed his lips tightly.

Angry?

Just as the man was about to make a call, Chen Lie knocked on the door and came in, so he put his phone down.

Chen Lie handed over two documents, saying, "Sir, these are the documents Madam requested."

Gu Chengjing raised an eyebrow, his gaze falling on the file bag. The hospital's name on it was particularly eye-catching, and his eyes darkened.

"You hand it to her yourself."

"Okay, sir."

Chen Lie responded, "Young Master Gu is here. He wants to see you and says he's delivering wedding invitations."

"Leave the invitation."

"……OK."

Chen Lie nodded, took the documents, and went out.

Leaving the invitation means that the person can leave.

The gentleman wasn't close to Young Master Gu before, but he wasn't this cold. It seems that it was only a few years ago, after Young Master Gu and Madam established their relationship, that the gentleman became so unfriendly to him.

"Assistant Chen."

Gu Chengjing, who was waiting outside, saw Chen Lie come out and walked over. "My uncle..."

Chen Lie: "Sir has urgent business and would like you to leave the invitation here. Mr. Gu, you may return now."

"I won't take too long, so... okay then."

Gu Chengjing wanted to insist, but thinking of his uncle's temper, he immediately gave up. Just as he handed the invitation to Chen Lie, he turned around and saw someone coming out of the elevator.

"Su Yiran!"

He rode in his uncle's private elevator, which he had never ridden before!
