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

Chapter 6: Aren't you going to take responsibility for me?

Meng Ran rarely drank alcohol, but she got drunk after just one cup.

Meng Jinxing helped Meng Ran into the car, glanced at the time, and then looked at Su Yiran, "It's getting late, I'll take you home first."

"Need not."

Su Yiran waved her hand, subconsciously taking two steps back, which aggravated her injured foot, causing her to limp...

"careful!"

Meng Jinxing reached out to support her, holding her arm. His gaze shifted downwards, and under the dim streetlights, he noticed a red blush on her ankle. He pursed his lips and said, "Your foot is injured. I'll take you to the hospital."

Su Yiran calmly withdrew her hand, "It's just a sprain, I'll put on some ointment when I get back and it'll be fine."

"But……"

Meng Jinxing was still worried, and just as he was about to speak, a Maybach pulled up in front of them. A man got out of the car, and his words, "Miss Su," broke the delicate tension between the two.

Su Yiran recognized him; he was Gu Yanli's assistant. Then…

Her gaze instinctively drifted towards the back of the car, but the doors were tightly closed, and she couldn't see anything.

"Assistant Chen?"

Meng Jinxing was surprised to see the display here. "What are you doing here? Mr. Gu, he..."

Chen Lie said, "Sir left something with Miss Su and asked me to retrieve it."

Meng Jinxing asked, puzzled, "Yiyi, do you know Mr. Gu?"

It was purely coincidental that Gu Yanli was here today. The Meng family is one of the top wealthy families in the capital, but it can't compare to the Gu family. The Meng and Gu families have been cooperating recently, and when he sent out the invitation, he naturally prepared one for Gu Yanli as well. He never expected that Gu Yanli would actually come.

"see once."

Su Yiran bit her lip, listening to Meng Ran's restlessness in the car, and interrupted Meng Jinxing's puzzled thoughts, "Brother Jinxing, Ranran is not feeling well after drinking. I will take a taxi home by myself later. You can take her home first."

Meng Jinxing gave her a deep look and nodded, "...Then be careful, and send me a message to let me know you're safe when you get home."

"it is good."

Su Yiran nodded and watched them leave.

She had known Meng Ran for over ten years, and she had also known Meng Jinxing for over ten years, but the two of them had met very few times, especially recently, when Meng Jinxing was sent to the Italian branch, and the number of times they met had become even fewer.

To Su Yiran, Meng Jinxing was an unfamiliar older brother.

But she wasn't unaware of Meng Ran's thoughts.

"Miss Su is so reluctant to leave, should I send someone to call her back?"

The rear door of the car was opened by Chen Lie, facing her directly.

Su Yiran turned around at the sound. Under the dim light inside the car, the man's facial features had a touch of gentleness, but could not hide his innate coldness and aloofness.

"Is Mr. Gu jealous?"

Su Yiran smiled and naturally got into the car, sitting next to Gu Yanli. "It's really strange that I, Su Yiran, have such great ability that you can't sleep in the middle of the night and come to block me."

"Miss Su, aren't you a little too confident in yourself?"

Gu Yanli said calmly.

The explanation at the front reads, "Mr. Gu is very busy, and he came to see you now because he did leave something with you. Mr. Gu bought a piece of his collection, a necklace worth fifty million, which was in his car during the day..."

Su Yiran understood.

She smiled at Gu Yanli, "Mr. Gu suspects that I took... no, I mean, stole your necklace worth fifty million?"

Gu Yanli pursed his lips, then gently opened his eyes, which had been closed in a state of rest. "Miss Su, don't you have any?"

"..."

You're nothing!

Su Yiran had never done anything like stealing before, let alone a 50 million yuan necklace, right under Gu Yanli's nose. She was audacious, but not stupid enough to risk her life!

"Mr. Gu, you wouldn't be trying to avoid responsibility by making up some excuse, saying that I accidentally stole your necklace, and then not hold me accountable, just to wipe the slate clean, would you?"

"Mr. Gu is very shrewd; I admire him."

"Actually, Mr. Gu, you don't need to go to so much trouble. We are both adults, and this happened when both of us were sober and willing. I only value you because you are Gu Chengjing's uncle, which puts you ahead of that scumbag. Who wouldn't like that? But if we can't reach an agreement, then we don't need to. The entire capital is not just home to men from your Gu family."

Gu Yanli pursed his lips, listening to her long string of words, "Miss Su is referring to Meng Jinxing?"

“I’m referring to a lot of people, Mr. Gu, do you want me to name them one by one?”

Su Yiran glanced at him. If looks could kill, she would have already stabbed Gu Yanli to pieces!

"parking!"

Su Yiran felt a lump in her throat and yelled, startling the driver, who quickly pulled over to the side of the road.

Su Yiran didn't linger for a moment and stormed out of the car.

At four in the morning, the summer night in Kyoto was still a bit chilly. A cold wind blew against her, and she couldn't help but shiver.

Forget about people, we can't even find a single car.

No one is accepting ride-hailing orders.

She walked alone by the roadside.

He muttered to himself, cursing Gu Yanli.

"He's small, but he has quite a temper."

Gu Yanli appeared behind Su Yiran. She stopped and looked at him sullenly, "Mr. Gu, do you still have the habit of following people in the middle of the night?"

"I've been ungrateful for my good intentions."

Gu Yanli walked over to her, took off his coat, and said, "I'm not so petty as to hold a grudge against a girl. Get in the car, I'll take you home."

"Anyone who offers to take a girl home in the middle of the night is not a good person."

"..."

"Oh... Mr. Gu was never a good person to begin with."

"..."

Su Yiran reluctantly got into the car, and as the vehicle drove off, she looked at the man beside her.

"Mr. Gu, are you taking me home to your home?"

Gu Yanli paused, seemingly not expecting her to say such a thing, and remained silent for a moment, "It's better for a girl to be a little reserved."

"Does Mr. Gu prefer reserved girls?"

Su Yiran suddenly stared at him with wide eyes.

Su Yiran knew that Gu Yanli was good-looking, but at this moment, she felt that he was different.

It looks good, but now, it carries a hint of something else that's hard to describe.

Silence fell in the car.

The driver and the display in front wished they could hide themselves, pretend they were invisible, and dared not make a sound.

Su Yiran didn't expect Gu Yanli to answer her in the first place.

After all, he ignored what she said during the day.

But when she thought about what Gu Chengjing had done to her, how he had gotten involved with her stepsister, how he had drugged her, and how he had given her to other men, she felt a surge of anger and couldn't shake the feeling of unease.

She looked up at the window; at four o'clock, only this one car was driving on the entire street.

Su Yiran bit her lip, turned to look at Gu Yanli, pondered her words for a long time, and took a deep breath.

"Mr. Gu, are you sure you don't want to take responsibility for me?"

Is it because I'm not good-looking?

"Or do you have feelings for another girl?"
