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

Chapter 8 You are different from other girls

Attached message: [Mr. Gu, the necklace is too expensive. My boyfriend will be unhappy if he sees it. I'm currently at the coffee shop across from the Gu Group building. Do you have time? I'd like to return it to you.]

As soon as the message was successfully sent, a shadow blocked the light in front of Su Yiran.

The son of Uncle Liu's friend, whom Mom had mentioned, appeared before us.

He was 25 years old, three years older than her.

He's quite good-looking and looks very young; if someone said he was a minor, Su Yiran wouldn't have any doubts.

"Hello, my name is Yan Lianhe."

"Su Yiran."

After a brief self-introduction, the two stopped talking.

After finishing their coffee and exchanging only a few words, Su Yiran understood Yan Lianhe's meaning.

He had no intention of going on a blind date; he was only pressured by his family and forced to go through the motions.

Just what she wanted!

"Miss Su, you are very beautiful and must have many suitors. Why are you going on a blind date?"

Being praised for her good looks made Su Yiran feel genuinely pleased.

Indeed, she was outstanding in appearance from a young age, and one man after another pursued her. At that time, she was just a girl, a girl who didn't know anything, and a few kind words from a man could easily seduce her.

However, she also had to thank her good sister, who broke up all those "good marriages".

"Isn't Mr. Yan the same? He was unwilling, but he had no choice but to do it."

Yan Lianhe nodded, then shook her head. "I went to the Liu family with my father and met a girl who was about your age. I can't say what she was like, but I don't like that kind of girl. But Miss Su, you are different from her."

Among the girls of similar age to her, the only one still in the Liu family is Liu Jiaojiao.

Su Yiran looked up at the man in front of her. Out of the corner of her eye, a familiar figure came into view. Their eyes met in an instant.

Gu Yanli stepped out of a luxury car and, surrounded by a crowd, entered the Gu Group Building.

The two were separated by a road.

"What are you looking at?"

Yan Lianhe noticed Su Yiran's unusual behavior and followed her gaze, just in time to see the backs of a large group of people.

His phone rang, and after hurriedly answering the call, he looked apologetically at Su Yiran, "Ms. Su, I'm sorry, I have an urgent meeting and I have to leave first."

Su Yiran nodded. Just then, she also received a text message. She smiled and the two left the coffee shop together.

However, the other person's direction seemed to be the same as hers.

"You...work at the Gu Group?"

Yan Lianhe nodded, "My dad sent me here to gain some experience. I'm going up now."

Su Yiran pursed her lips and followed him inside.

She walked to the front desk, smiled at the receptionist, and pointed in the direction Yan Lianhe had left, "What was he doing here?"

The information regarding group employees is internal and cannot be disclosed to the public.

"May I ask who you are looking for?"

The receptionist watched her warily, already prepared to have security kick her out.

"Miss Su."

As Chen Lie stepped out of the elevator, the receptionist looked at her and called out, "Assistant Chen, this lady..."

"Mr. Gu's guest."

Chen Lie gave a brief explanation, then turned to Su Yiran, "Ms. Su, Mr. Gu sent me to pick you up."

"guest?"

Su Yiran listened to Chen Lie's introduction to her at the front desk, smiled slightly, said nothing more, and walked straight into the elevator.

The Gu Group building is located by the sea, and the elevators are transparent to the outside world. Turn around and you will see the boundless sea.

"Assistant Chen, does Gu Chengjing work here too? Is there a chance I'll run into him here?"

Chen Lie didn't know why she asked that, so she told the truth, "Young Master Gu has already suspended Mr. Gu from his job. He will not appear here again, so you don't need to worry about running into him."

Su Yiran sighed, "That's a real pity."

What do you mean?

I regretted asking the question the moment I finished.

"Wouldn't it be great if he could see my relationship with his uncle? He can't see it anyway, don't you think it's a pity?"

"..."

Display shut up.

"But it's okay, there will be a time when he calls me 'little aunt'."

"..."

Chen Lie led people to the top floor, knocked on the tightly closed office door, and only opened the door after hearing a sound from inside.

"Mr. Gu, Miss Su..."

Arrived.

Before she could finish speaking, Su Yiran walked past Chen Lie and stood in front of Gu Yanli. "Mr. Gu, you have no sense of chivalry at all. My foot is injured, and you just left me alone in the hotel to fend for myself. A man like you will never find a girlfriend."

Chen Lie stood inside, feeling somewhat awkward. Seeing that Gu Yanli hadn't given any instructions, he tactfully left the office, closing the door behind him.

"However, given Mr. Gu's excellent natural qualities, even if he has a bad temper, is insensitive, and has no chivalry towards women, there will still be women flocking to him."

Gu Yanli put down the documents in his hand, looked up, and met her gaze. "You're one of those people too?"

The man's eyes were deep, yet held an indescribable seriousness.

"Yes and no."

Su Yiran said, "Those women are after your money. No matter how tempting your body is, to be honest, I like it. But what I value more is your status. A status that can surpass Gu Chengjing's is what makes me more interested."

Of course, if she had to choose, she would rather choose Gu Yanli than Gu Chengjing.

Unless she has something wrong with her head.

In terms of wealth, power, and money, Gu Yanli is far superior to Gu Chengjing.

Why did she still choose Gu Chengjing?

"Miss Su is quite frank; she really doesn't shy away from it at all."

Gu Yanli's response to Su Yiran was expected: "But why should I let you use me?"

"It's not about exploitation, it's about mutual benefit."

Su Yiran walked up to Gu Yanli and leaned against the desk. "Mr. Gu, do you dare to say that you have absolutely no feelings for me?"

"..."

Gu Yanli remained silent.

“Last night, you could have just left me in the car, it wouldn’t have been right. But why did you keep following me? Were you worried that something might happen to me and you wouldn’t be able to explain it to the Liu family, or to Gu Chengjing?”

Su Yiran said, "Neither of these two possibilities exists. The only possibility is that you are worried about me and afraid that something might happen to me, so you have been following me."

You even noticed the injury on my foot and had someone buy me ointment. Mr. Gu, can you honestly say you have absolutely no good feelings towards me?

"Miss Su, you are different from other girls."

"Oh?"

Su Yiran curled her lips, intrigued by his words, and leaned closer, "How is it different?"

"You have no self-respect at all."

"..."

It's this again. Does he have nothing else to say besides this?

That Gu Yanli!

"So, Mr. Gu, do you think being unreserved is a strength or a weakness?"

What do you think, Miss Su?

"I think it's an advantage."
