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

Chapter 27: Shameful Relationship

"This is our madam's engagement gift to Young Master Chengjing and Miss Liu. We wish the two of you a long and happy marriage and many children."

The necklace in the box caught Su Yiran's eye, and she almost burst out laughing.

This was a gift that Gu Yanli had asked Chen Lie to bring back for her a couple of days ago. She tried it on and shook her head, "It's too old-fashioned and doesn't suit me."

The display stand was still praising, "Madam is naturally beautiful, she looks good in anything. These pearls are of rare quality and are quite expensive..."

"You like it? It's yours."

Su Yiran looked at him.

"No, no, I wouldn't dare."

Chen Lie shook his head vigorously, "This is a gift from the master. If the master finds out, I'll lose my job."

This necklace is right here.

She gave the things she didn't want to Liu Jiaojiao.

I feel really good about it, but the price is so high, it's a real shame.

Su Yiran leisurely sipped her red wine, when she heard the voice beside her.

"How come I've never heard of Mr. Gu getting married? When did it happen?"

Several wealthy women whispered, "I only found out today that Mr. Gu and Mrs. Gu send gifts separately. Could it be that they are having marital problems?"

"Eighty percent yes."

Su Yiran leaned closer to listen, "The Gu family is one of the top wealthy families in Kyoto. Their marriages are all arranged by family alliances. What kind of feelings could there be? He's just marrying a woman and keeping her at home, while he still plays around outside. I heard Mr. Gu has another woman by his side, and that woman seems to be..."

"What are you ladies talking about? Could I come along with you?"

Su Yiran walked over with a smile, her eyes blinking.

Su Yiran's sudden appearance startled everyone. The wealthy woman in purple at the head of the group felt a sharp pang in her heart, her smile froze, and she waved her hand, "It's nothing, it's nothing..."

Another wealthy woman, engrossed in gossip, pressed for details, "Who is that woman outside Mr. Gu? She..."

"cough!"

The wealthy woman in purple nudged the other woman, signaling her to shut up, and then glanced cautiously at Su Yiran, "Miss Su, we have something to attend to, so we'll be leaving now."

After saying that, he pulled the others away from that place of trouble.

Su Yiran's smile remained unchanged.

She and Mr. Gu frequented many occasions together, and where there are people, there is gossip. Her "improper" relationship with Gu Yanli had long been known throughout their circle.

Turning her head, she saw Madam Gu take the pearl necklace, holding it in her hand like a treasure, her face beaming with smiles that made the wrinkles on her face almost fall to the ground. "Such a precious gift, I'm sorry to trouble Assistant Chen to thank Madam Gu for me. Whenever she has time, I will definitely bring Chengjing to visit and express my gratitude."

“Our lady…”

Chen Lie's gaze fell on Su Yiran, who nodded and then changed her words, "Our lady has been quite busy lately, she will contact you when she has time."

"Okay, okay, thank you for your trouble."

After seeing the display off, Madam Gu took the pearl necklace and went upstairs.

Su Yiran glanced at the crowd, put down her wine glass, and quietly followed them.

"Mom, this necklace suits you perfectly."

In the tea room, Madam Gu put the necklace she was wearing around Old Madam Gu's neck and recounted in detail what had happened in the hall earlier.

Madam Gu seemed to be deep in thought. "The Gu family patriarch did not hold a grand wedding. Presumably, this Madam Gu is not favored. But her status is what it is. We should prepare good gifts and make friends with her. Last time, because of Su Yiran's instigation, Chengjing was kicked out of the Gu Group by Ayan. This is a good opportunity. You should pay attention to it."

"I got it, Mom."

Mrs. Gu nodded, "As long as we get the project proposal from the Liu family, Chengjing's entry into the Gu Group will be much smoother. If it weren't for this, what status does the Liu family have? Would they even be worthy of being associated with my Gu family? Chengjing is such a disappointment. If he had obediently married Su Yiran, he could have done whatever he wanted in the future. Su Yiran is honest and has no one to rely on in Kyoto. A few sweet words would have been enough to fool her. In a few years, she could have left with nothing, saving him a lot of trouble. Now..."

Madam Gu paused for a moment, then continued, "As long as the engagement banquet hasn't started, there's still a chance to change things. Su Yiran and Ayan have an ambiguous relationship, and she's just a mistress who can't be seen in public if she stays by his side. As long as she's willing to give in, everything will be easy to handle."

Su Yiran's eyes darkened as she stood outside the door.

Sure enough, these people are all driven by self-interest.

The project plan that the Liu family mentioned is probably related to the project that Gu Yanli recently restarted.

For them, marrying her or Liu Jiaojiao was the same, because even if they married her, the Liu family would only fawn over the Gu family, and the project proposals in their hands would naturally fall into their hands.

No one will suffer any loss.

She's just easier to control.

Su Yiran had just come out of the tea room when she heard a commotion outside.

A heavily pregnant woman was being kept outside by bodyguards.

“I’m pregnant with Mr. Gu’s child. He has to take responsibility for me and the child in my belly.”

Madam Gu was so angry that her face turned pale. "Calm down. Chengjing has always been a man of integrity and would never do such a thing."

The Gu family values ​​reputation above all else, so they immediately kept the woman out and explained that she had no relation to the Gu family.

The woman printed out hundreds of intimate photos of herself and Gu Chengjing, so now she couldn't shirk responsibility.

Madam Gu was about to vomit blood. She hurriedly beckoned people into the banquet hall, her gaze falling on Su Yiran, "Yiran, you..."

"I have thought through Aunt Gu's suggestion."

Su Yiran looked at her and said, "Even if it's a shady relationship with Mr. Gu, it's better than dealing with these messes every day. Mr. Gu is still waiting for me, so I'll leave first."

"Ah, Yiran..."

Madam Gu frowned, opened her mouth, and was about to speak when she saw a luxury car pull up at the door. Chen Lie got out of the passenger seat and said, "Madam, you seem to be in a good mood."

"It's all thanks to your efficient work that I have the heart to hear."

Su Yiran smiled and got into the car.

Mrs. Gu was too far away to hear what they were saying, and by the time she caught up, the car had already driven right past her.

"Hey!"

Madam Gu, already in a bad mood from being chased by exhaust fumes, was now even more annoyed. "Su Yiran, you just wait! Marrying my son is giving you face, and you don't know what's good for you. If the real master finds out you exist, see how you die!"

Pooh!

In the car.

Su Yiran leaned back in the back seat, dozing off. When she woke up, she looked out the window, pinched her brow, and asked, "This isn't the way back. Where are we going?"

"Go to the airport."

Chen explained, "The gentleman is waiting for you at the airport."

"..."

Su Yiran instantly snapped out of her daze. "No, this is so sudden. Where are we flying to? I... I haven't prepared anything."

"The things have been prepared over there, so you don't need to worry."

Chen Lie didn't specify where they were going, and Su Yiran didn't ask any further questions, but she felt a sense of emptiness in her heart.
