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

Chapter 167 What do you want?

Yan Yuan was somewhat dazed, her heart was pounding, and she felt a tightness in her chest.

I used to stay in hotels, and I didn't see Tang Yanzhe often, sometimes not even for several days.

Without him, time was all her own.

However, if you move into the Tang family home, you can see Tang Yanzhe every day.

No, you can't!

"This is not appropriate, Mr. Tang."

Yan Yuan said, "Besides, I'm also sensitive to new environments. If I change to a new environment, I won't be able to rest well, and I'll feel uncomfortable again."

"This is not an excuse; we have to adapt eventually."

what?

Yan Yuan frowned.

What does he mean?

What does it mean to always have to adapt?

"Forget it, let's call it a day and go back to rest."

Tang Yanzhe did not insist and turned to leave.

"...Thank you, Mr. Tang."

Yan Yuan felt a sense of relief and breathed a sigh of relief.

……

Su Yiran still softened her heart.

Gu Yanli's men personally escorted Liu Jiaojiao back. After learning the reason, Gu's mother naturally refused to acknowledge Liu Jiaojiao's identity in order to avoid trouble.

To some extent, Liu Jiaojiao got what she wanted.

But her days won't be easy.

With no one to rely on, that family is unlikely to let the matter rest and might resort to underhanded tactics behind his back.

For now, leaving Kyoto is her best option.

Even if you can't beat them, you can still avoid them.

That very night, Liu Jiaojiao approached her.

She was still working at the gallery at the time.

When Gu Jing saw this person, he frowned and said, "Our lady will not see you. Please leave!"

"I……"

Liu Jiaojiao was unwilling to leave, so she waited outside.

The gallery wasn't very big to begin with, and Liu Jiaojiao waited outside all afternoon. People inside the office kept talking about it, so it naturally reached Su Yiran's ears.

She went outside and saw Liu Jiaojiao.

"elder sister……"

Liu Jiaojiao tried to step forward, but was blocked by a wall of people.

Su Yiran still felt somewhat uneasy after what happened in Haishi last time.

"You go."

"Sister, let's talk."

Liu Jiaojiao looked at her sincerely.

Su Yiran met her gaze, remained silent for a moment, and then said, "Come in."

"lady?"

Gu Jing's expression changed. The previous incident was still fresh in his mind. If anything went wrong today, he would be a sinner!

"fine."

Su Yiran said softly.

Reception room.

Liu Jiaojiao walked in timidly, and Su Yiran poured her a cup of tea. "What do you want to say?"

"Sister Yiran, I..."

Liu Jiaojiao had barely finished speaking when Su Yiran interrupted her, "I have absolutely no connection with your Liu family now, so stop calling me 'sister,' it's annoying."

“Okay, sister… no, Madam Gu.”

Liu Jiaojiao said softly, "If I told you that I knew nothing about what my parents did, would you believe me?"

"letter."

Su Yiran looked at her, "Otherwise, you wouldn't be sitting here talking to me like this."

"...I see, thank you."

Liu Jiaojiao paused for a moment, then chuckled softly in silence, "I know I did a lot of things to wrong you when I was little. When you and your mother... when my mother and I came to the Liu family, I hated you so much, hated you both, for taking my father away..."

"Don't talk about those old stories, I don't want to know."

Su Yiran said coldly, "If you came to me just to say this, please leave."

"No, it's not."

Liu Jiaojiao shook her head, "It's not because of that, it's because... I suspect that Gu Chengjing and his family are colluding with someone who also has the surname Gu."

"Gu?"

Su Yiran remained silent.

"His surname is Gu. What happened in Haishi was impulsive on my part, but I don't know what came over me. How did I end up in Haishi and even lay a hand on you..."

"What do you mean? Did someone drug you to use you against me?"

"I suspect... I don't know if you believe me, but his mother suddenly became very nice to me before. She personally made soup for me and even served it to me. After drinking it, I felt drowsy and only felt better after taking a nap..."

As Liu Jiaojiao was speaking, she suddenly remembered, "Yes, they called that Ninth Master Gu very respectfully."

"Master Gu?"

"Yes, that's it."

Su Yiran gasped, then asked Gu Jing to find a few photos for Liu Jiaojiao to identify, "Which one is it?"

Liu Jiaojiao looked at the photos carefully, completely ignoring the photo of Gu Jiuye himself at the top.

At this moment, Su Yiran frowned and looked at her intently.

But soon, Liu Jiaojiao pulled out one of the photos, "It's him, I've seen him a few times."

Su Yiran took the photo. "Is he Master Gu?"

"Yes...right? Isn't that right? That's what I've heard them call me."

Liu Jiaojiao was unsure.

"I see."

Su Yiran clutched the photo tightly.

The person in the photo isn't Master Gu, but one of his men.

If Liu Jiaojiao wasn't lying, then Master Gu is indeed very cautious.

"What are you planning?"

Su Yiran looked at her again, "What do you want by telling me all this?"

"Mrs. Gu."

Liu Jiaojiao bit her lip and didn't beat around the bush, "I want to leave Kyoto, but the Liu family is gone, and I have no money, so..."

It turned out to be the case.

Su Yiran raised an eyebrow.

Liu Jiaojiao was pampered since childhood and had never experienced hardship. If she had to say she had suffered, it would probably be during the time she was married to Gu Chengjing.

It seems normal for her to ask for money.

"If what you just said is true, I won't treat you unfairly."

"Thank you, thank you, Mrs. Gu."

Su Yiran dismissed the man and then handed the photo to Gu Jing, saying, "Check this person's whereabouts during this period."

"Yes, ma'am."

Gu Jing nodded, holding the photo, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Should we tell the master about this?"

"...If I don't let you talk, you won't talk?"

Su Yiran glanced at him. "What, are you listening to me now? Tell me, it's not like it's anything shameful. Why should I be the only one worrying about the Gu family's affairs? Let him investigate properly too."

"Okay, ma'am."

Gu Jing turned and left.

"Wait a moment."

Just as Gu Jing walked out, Su Yiran suddenly called out to him, "I'm going to P City tomorrow."

She's been feeling strange and uneasy these past couple of days, with a feeling that something is about to happen.

City P.

Upon hearing those two words, Gu Jing's expression changed slightly. "Why don't you tell the master first?"

"I'm just going to P City, a round trip, a day is enough, why do you need to tell me?"

Su Yiran's face darkened. "Last time he told me he wouldn't prevent me from seeing Uncle Zhong. Are you saying he's lying to me again?"

"No, I don't dare."

Gu Jing lowered his head and said, "I'll go prepare."

Gu Jing left.

As Su Yiran watched his retreating figure, she noticed that Gu Jing acted strangely when he heard that he was going to P City.

I wonder if Uncle Zhong's condition has improved in the past month.
