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

Chapter 61 Life-saving grace

"It's been a few days since I last saw you, and you do look unwell, little Jiao Jiao."

Su Yiran sat down on the edge of the bed with a smile, a move that instantly startled the two people in the ward.

"Su Yiran, what are you doing!"

Gu Chengjing looked at Su Yiran nervously.

Liu Jiaojiao subconsciously moved to the side, afraid that she might take her anger out on her if she was unhappy, but she was overthinking it.

With such a small space as a hospital bed, if Su Yiran really wanted to make a move, no matter how hard she tried to dodge, could she possibly escape?

Su Yiran took in their reactions. "Young Master Gu is so nervous. It seems you really love Jiaojiao. Do you think I'm some kind of monster?"

Liu Jiaojiao gave an awkward smile, "How could that be? Brother Chengjing just..."

"What is it?"

Su Yiran's eyes curved into a smile as she looked at Liu Jiaojiao. She leaned down and whispered in her ear, "Jiaojiao, you're really something. You actually used your own unborn child to set up a scheme. But the result was quite good. After all, saving a life is the best way to win a man's sympathy!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Jiaojiao's face turned pale, and she looked at her with panic in her eyes. She subconsciously glanced at Gu Chengjing in the distance, but fortunately, it was only at a volume that the two of them could hear.

She lowered her voice, "What nonsense are you talking about!"

Su Yiran's smile widened. "I was just talking nonsense. Why are you so nervous, little Jiaojiao?"

"You...you bombed me!"

Liu Jiaojiao realized what was happening and gritted her teeth.

"My sister confessed without being asked, so who can she blame?"

Previously, Su Yiran felt sorry for Liu Jiaojiao's unborn child, after all, it was a living life, but now it seems quite pitiful.

What a terrible mother!

In order to marry into the Gu family, she was willing to use her own children.

"Yiran has arrived."

At the same time, Liu's father heard the noise and came over.

Su Yiran gave him a deep look with a half-smile, then looked away when she heard him speak, and said with a faint smile, "Uncle Liu."

Looking at his pale-faced daughter on the hospital bed, Liu's father pursed his lips and then smiled, "Your mother was just talking about you. Why don't you go and see her? A mother and daughter can talk; they're always connected by heart, and there's no such thing as a grudge that lasts overnight."

"Okay, Uncle Liu, I'll head over now."

Su Yiran walked out of the ward with a smile, but stopped abruptly at the door. "Oh, right..."

Liu Jiaojiao's heart was in her throat as she watched Su Yiran warily, afraid that she might say something out of her mouth.

"Young Master Gu doesn't take good care of Jiao Jiao. Her hands were ice cold when I touched them just now. He didn't even bother to put some clothes on her."

Su Yiran took in Liu Jiaojiao's expressions, finished speaking slowly, and left the ward.

She carefully put what she was holding into her bag and then went into another ward.

Liu's mother was not surprised by Su Yiran's arrival. She smiled and waved to her, "Yiran is here. Come and sit here with your mother."

Su Yiran walked over and sat down. "How are you today, Mom? Does your wound still hurt? Let me take a look at your injury."

"Need not."

Liu's mother waved her hand. "The nurse applied the medicine to me, and I feel much better. Yiran, I was not nice to you yesterday. I was in a bad mood and took it out on you. I apologize to you again. As soon as I said it, I regretted it, but you had already left by then."

"Don't worry, I didn't take it to heart."

Su Yiran smiled faintly, "Mom, I've always had a question in my mind."

Upon hearing this, Liu's mother paused for a moment, then said, "Go ahead."

“Logically speaking, I am your biological daughter. Why is it that since I came to the Liu family, you have treated Liu Jiaojiao better than your biological daughter, as if she is more like your biological daughter than I am?”

Su Yiran looked at her.

"..."

Liu's mother's face stiffened for a moment, then she recovered slightly. "We are living under someone else's roof, having to live at the mercy of others. In order for us to survive in the Liu family, I naturally have to treat Jiaojiao well. I know that I have wronged you all these years, but I have no choice. You don't know how many people have looked down on me after your father passed away. I do this just so that you won't look down on me."

As Liu's mother spoke, she recalled the past, her eyes reddening and tears streaming down her face.

"I'm sorry, Mom, I was being unreasonable."

Su Yiran handed her a tissue. "When I was little, you and Dad were very busy and didn't have time to spend with me. On my birthday, you gave me a cat, which I loved. I took it everywhere I went. But one day, it disappeared, and I cried for a long time. You comforted me and said you would buy me another one later, but all these years later, you have never kept that promise."

Upon hearing this, Liu's mother lowered her head and wiped away her tears. "I've always kept this in mind, but Jiaojiao doesn't like small animals, so..."

"I understand my mother's difficulties, but I was just saying it."

"Mom's wishes are always the best..."

The two chatted for a while, and Liu's mother mentioned Gu Yanli a couple of times during the conversation, "Yiran, you have a good relationship with Mr. Gu. If you have the chance, ask him to help Liu's. He can just give any of the projects he has eliminated to Liu's, and it can bring Liu's back to life."

"I'll tell you when I have the chance."

It was getting late, so Su Yiran left the ward.

She had just left the ward when she looked at the person inside through the window, and her face darkened.

She loved cats and dogs since she was a child, but her mother was allergic to cat and dog fur, so her father never allowed these furry animals in the house, let alone gave her a cat as a gift!

How could Mom forget something like this?

And the injury on her back...

Outside the hospital.

When Su Yiran got into the car, Gu Yanli was in an international conference. He noticed that she was in a bad mood and patted her head, "Have you been wronged again?"

Su Yiran pouted, "Does Ayan have mind-reading abilities?"

"I know a little." Gu Yanli smiled and looked at her intently. "Yiyi, you don't need to worry or get angry over unimportant things and people, because they're not worth it."

"really."

Su Yiran didn't understand the deeper meaning in Gu Yanli's words and nodded.

Perhaps because of the medicine she took during the day, Su Yiran felt drowsy on the way back and eventually fell asleep in Gu Yanli's arms.

She woke up the next morning.

“Ah Yan…”

Su Yiran opened her eyes, looked at the man in front of her and opened her mouth, but before she could speak, her lips were covered, and the words that were about to come out were blocked back.

After a brief but intense morning, Gu Yanli was full of energy.

Su Yiran woke up at seven o'clock and wouldn't be able to go down for her first meal of the day until almost noon.

In the restaurant, she kept her head down and ate her meal, not giving Gu Yanli a single glance.

Gu Yanli chuckled softly, which reached Su Yiran's ears. She bit her lip, looked up at him with displeasure, and said nothing.

I'm sulking and angry!
