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

Chapter 36 He's Different...

"Yes."

The bodyguard responded and quickly prepared to clear the person out.

In disbelief, Liu's mother broke free from the bodyguards' control, but the bodyguards at the Sheng Levija Manor were all Europeans, tall and burly, and she was no match for them at all.

"Su Yiran, I'm your mother! How can you kick your mother out? Don't you have any conscience?"

Su Yiran coldly looked at the disheveled person, a nonchalant smile playing on her lips. "You've eaten my conscience, doesn't your mother know that?"

She was thankful that she was her biological mother, otherwise her hand would have been ruined when she slapped her, and her mouth would have swelled up when she uttered the first word to her.

She is not Liu Jiaojiao; she cannot put on airs like Liu Jiaojiao, acting one way in front of others and another behind their backs.

She can act on a whim; the kinship between them is her shield.

Su Yiran lost interest in strolling around and turned back. The doctor arrived shortly after.

The face that was hit was only a little red, but not very serious. I got some ointment and it helped to relieve the pain.

Gu Yanli had an emergency meeting, and by the time he learned what had happened, it was already past midnight.

The room was pitch black. The door opened, and a figure quietly walked in. The woman on the bed was fast asleep, her breathing steady. He sat on the edge of the bed, looking down at her face. In the darkness, it was not hard to see that her left cheek was unusual.

He reached out, wanting to touch her face, but hesitated for a moment, worried about hurting her, and then withdrew his hand.

He stood up, took out his phone, made a call, and glanced up, his eyes catching sight of the ointment on the table...

*

The next morning.

Su Yiran was awakened by a chill that came from the soles of her feet.

She opened her eyes and saw the man sitting at the foot of the bed, and two little pig trotters sticking out of the blanket.

Sleepiness vanished in an instant. Su Yiran sat up in bed, met Gu Yanli's gaze, and stared blankly for a long time before instinctively pulling her feet back under the covers.

"you……"

Su Yiran hid her feet well. "Does Mr. Gu have a habit of scaring people first thing in the morning?"

The ointment is helpful, but it only provides temporary relief and does not have a rapid effect in reducing swelling.

Her feet weren't fat, but they swelled up to twice their original size, which looked quite frightening.

Gu Yanli held the ointment in his hand, his gaze fixed on her face. "You've been hiding it all this time, is it because of this? Why?"

Su Yiran avoided his gaze, "I didn't..."

"Why don't you dare look me in the eye when you speak?"

Gu Yanli used his clean hands to lift the blanket, wanting to take her feet out to continue applying the medicine, but they wouldn't come out no matter what.

"I will do it myself."

Su Yiran snatched the ointment from Gu Yanli's hand, turned her back, and applied the ointment herself.

Ugly, so ugly.

"I come."

Seeing her awkward expression, Gu Yanli snatched the ointment from her hand. "If I hadn't asked Meng Ran, I wouldn't have known what happened. I had no idea that Yi Yi, who is usually fearless, would be so concerned about saving face?"

"How do you know me……"

Hearing Gu Yanli's words, Su Yiran's face turned even redder. "She really is ugly... Ranran is really something, saying everything. I've forgotten who she's actually friends with."

Meng Ran knew perfectly well that she didn't want Gu Yanli to know that her feet were swollen due to frostbite, but she still told him anyway.

The elbow is turned outwards.

"You think I wouldn't know just because Meng Ran didn't say anything? It's just a matter of spending a little more time finding a doctor to take a look."

Gu Yanli's smile deepened, "It's just that there will be one more person to see these chubby feet then."

"no!"

Su Yiran bit her lip, "You can't let anyone else know."

"I'm reluctant to let it happen either," Gu Yanli said while applying the medicine. "How old were you when you started getting chilblains?"

Su Yiran thought for a moment and said, "I don't remember very clearly, it should be after I came to the Liu family with my mother."

As for which year she had been with the Liu family, she really couldn't figure it out.

The first year, or the second year.

When her father was still alive, he would wrap her up warmly every winter and not let her touch cold water, so she naturally didn't get frostbite. But after she came to the Liu family, her mother focused all her attention on Liu Jiaojiao, and she lacked food and clothing all winter. It would be strange if she didn't get frostbite.

Fortunately, I later met Meng Ran.

"Ranran and you are the only ones who know I get chilblains. Even my mother doesn't know."

When she first got chilblains, she didn't understand anything. She only knew that her feet hurt and were very uncomfortable. When she mentioned it to her mother, her mother just said that she was being dramatic and gave her a good scolding.

Later, no matter if she felt unwell, she would not tell her mother.

When I'm not feeling well, I don't want to upset myself further.

Gu Yanli looked up at her, staring at her for a long time before speaking, "Meng Jinxing doesn't know either?"

"..."

The sudden appearance of this name left Su Yiran stunned. She then smiled and said, "I didn't know. So, Mr. Gu, do you feel honored that you are the only member of the opposite sex who knows about this?"

Speaking of the opposite sex, she had a good relationship with Uncle Zhong since childhood, but children are always concerned about their image, so she was too embarrassed to talk to him about such things. As she grew up, she no longer felt there was anything wrong with it, and she would never talk about it again.

"my pleasure."

Gu Yanli carefully applied the medicine.

Su Yiran looked down at the man in front of her. She had never imagined that someone would take such good care of her.

I never imagined that someone so high and mighty would be so meticulous.

Meng Ran had been in France for a while and had long since recovered from the gunfight when she first arrived. Taking advantage of Meng Jinxing's free time, she asked him to go out for a stroll.

Su Yiran hadn't been out for a long time, so she agreed.

After breakfast, Su Yiran went back to her room to get ready, choosing clothes, doing her hair, and putting on makeup. After all that, Gu Yanli's brows furrowed even deeper.

"Is Madam going out shopping?"

Gu Yanli looked at her, "Are you sure you're not seeing other men behind my back?"

He'd seen Su Yiran leave before; she'd just changed her clothes and gone out without any complicated procedures.

Su Yiran carefully finished applying her eyeliner before casually saying, "I'm going out with Ranran and the others today, so of course I have to look beautiful."

"them?"

Gu Yanli seized on a key phrase, "Besides Meng Ran, there's also... Meng Jinxing?"

When he mentioned that name, the air around him seemed to drop several degrees.

Su Yiran nodded, ignored him, and continued applying makeup.

Seeing Su Yiran's indifferent attitude, Gu Yanli felt even more annoyed.

"I happen to be free today, so I'll go out for a walk with you..."

"Need not."

Before Gu Yanli could finish speaking, Su Yiran interrupted him, saying, "Don't you know your place? If you were here, Ranran definitely wouldn't have had enough fun."

"Then why is it acceptable just because Meng Jinxing is here?"

Gu Yanli was unconvinced.

"He's different."

"..."

Gu Yanli didn't say anything more, turned around and left the room.
