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

Chapter 102 I'm in charge

Back at the Gu family manor, while Gu Yanli was changing clothes in his room, Su Yiran immediately complained.

He spoke with great conviction, but hardly a word of truth came out.

"That kid is a real headache."

Madam Lan frowned and comforted her, "Don't worry, Yiyi, Mom will teach him a lesson for you later, and I will make sure you don't suffer any injustice."

"Uh-huh."

Su Yiran sniffed and nodded, "Mom is the best to me, Yiyi loves Mom the most."

The man who appeared at the bottom of the stairs listened to the whole thing. As he walked down, he said, "She never tells the truth. You actually believe her?"

Upon hearing this, Su Yiran turned to look at the man walking over and let out a muffled groan.

"Mom, look at him, he dares to talk about me like that in front of you, and he must be even worse behind your back. He bullies me every day, and I can't even argue with him or beat him..."

"He hit you again?"

Madam Lan frowned, "This kid, I really..."

Madam Lan's expression changed as she looked at the man approaching.

Gu Yanli smirked and dragged the woman in front of him, who rarely spoke the truth and deserved a beating, off the sofa.

"What are you trying to do? I'm still here. Let go of Yiyi!"

"Mother……"

Su Yiran looked at Madam Lan with a wronged expression, trying to push Gu Yanli away, but the more she struggled, the stronger he became.

There's no way to get rid of it.

“When couples are having disagreements, it’s the perfect time to nurture their relationship. If the mother wants to have a grandchild soon, she should mind her own business.”

boom--

Upon hearing this, Su Yiran's face flushed red.

She never expected that Gu Yanli would have the audacity to say such a thing in front of Madam Lan.

Madam Lan's face stiffened. "Well... that's true. I'm just an outsider when it comes to matters between you two. You should resolve it yourselves. I have an appointment, so I'll be leaving now."

Mrs. Lan hurriedly left the living room.

"Mom, I...aren't you going to abandon me?"

Su Yiran watched the departing figure.

"I don't care."

Gu Yanli suddenly leaned down and whispered a sentence in her ear, which startled Su Yiran.

"Gu Yanli, how could you say such things in front of Mom? How am I supposed to face her after this?"

"The Mrs. Gu I know isn't so thin-skinned. Besides, when you were talking badly about me behind my back, did you ever think that you were trying to ruin my relationship with my mother?"

As Gu Yanli spoke, he looked down into her eyes.

Their eyes met, they were so close, yet separated by only a sheet of paper.

"I……"

Su Yiran hesitated for a moment, about to speak, when the man in front of her grabbed her head with one hand and sealed her lips with his.

After an unknown amount of time, Su Yiran's mind went blank before Gu Yanli finally let go of her.

"Consider this Mrs. Gu's apology to Mr. Gu."

"There's no such thing as an apology that you force yourself to do."

Su Yiran muttered to herself, "Besides, Mom might not believe everything I just said."

Her words were full of holes, and Madam Lan wasn't stupid; she was already quite credible if she believed three or four parts of it.

She was just going along with her.

She is still self-aware of this.

"Whether you believe it or not is my mother's business, but Madam really did speak ill of me."

Gu Yanli stroked her long hair. "It's a fact, there's no escaping it."

"Hmph, what kind of petty man is that!"

Su Yiran sullenly pushed Gu Yanli away, stomped her feet, and went upstairs, only to find out—

"Madam, you've gone the wrong way."

Su Yiran then realized what was happening, glared at the man downstairs, turned around with a bitter face and went to the other side, returning to her room.

Over the next few days, the art exhibition was successfully held, and Su Yiran was extremely busy.

After finally making it to the end of the art exhibition, she collapsed onto the sofa in her office.

"Yiyi, Yiyi—"

Before I saw the person, I heard his voice first.

Meng Ran rushed in from outside, saw the person slumped on the sofa, went over and pulled them up to start working again, "Guess how much we made from this art exhibition?"

Meng Ran held up a number, "Ten million!"

"Oh."

Su Yiran responded with a faint "yes".

"What's your reaction? I know you, Mrs. Gu, don't care about this little bit of money, but this is the most successful event we've ever held. In the past, we couldn't even make back the costs."

"I know."

Su Yiran looked at Meng Ran and said, "Didn't you notice that there were a few familiar faces here this time?"

"What acquaintance?"

Meng Ran froze, met her gaze, and suddenly realized, "Someone is helping us behind the scenes?"

"if not?"

Su Yiran pouted, "Our scale this time isn't large, so not many people know about it."

"Your family?"

"..."

Su Yiran did not deny it.

I've met them before when I attended events with Gu Yanli. They're all renowned collectors. People of their caliber wouldn't need to come in person if they wanted something, but today…

It's just blatant flattery.

"Husband and wife are one. You must have been very busy these past few days. Go home and spend some time with your partner. I'll take care of the rest of the work here."

Meng Ran smiled and urged the people to leave.

"you……"

Su Yiran looked intently at Meng Ran, "There's something I almost forgot, how are things between you and Song Yanqing?"

Meng Ran coughed lightly, "What do you mean, how?"

“I saw that he came today too.”

Su Yiran looked at Meng Ran with optimism, "Tell me honestly, which day you went to the airport, did you catch up with her?"

"Don't even mention that day, just thinking about it makes me angry!"

Meng Ran sighed.

When she received Su Yiran's call that day, she immediately had someone check which airport Song Yanqing was at. When she ran over there, she saw him and called out to him.

She made sure he heard her voice, but he went inside without looking back, as if she were a ghost, running away as fast as he could.

Enraged, she immediately bought a ticket for the same flight and chased after him.

If he had just turned around, she wouldn't be so angry.

On the plane, she switched seats with the woman next to him in business class and sat directly next to him.

"Miss Meng, you don't need to do this."

Meng Ran was amused by his words. "Mr. Song, do you live by the sea? Why are you so nosy? I like sitting here. If you have a problem with it, just keep it to yourself!"

"I……"

Throughout the entire journey, Song Yanqing truly did not utter a single word.

This made Meng Ran even angrier.

As soon as they got off the plane, they blocked them in the restroom.

Meng Ran asked, "Song Yanqing, what's wrong with you? We were fine just a few days ago, why did you suddenly leave without saying goodbye?"

The restroom was bustling with people, and the commotion attracted a lot of attention.

"Miss Meng, please have some self-respect."

"Can't you respect yourself!"

Ignoring the stares of others, Meng Ran said, "Mr. Song toyed with my feelings and then just threw them away. What do you take me for?"

Song Yanqing avoided eye contact, saying, "We're not a good match."

"Who said we're not a good match, my brother?"

Meng Ran retorted, "This is our business, what does it have to do with him? Are you going to live with him in the future?"

"No, it's not..."

"Since it's not, why are you still concerned about it?"

"..."
