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

Chapter 49 Ah Yan, I want a hug

The few drinks had almost no alcohol content, so Su Yiran wasn't drunk. However, if she didn't vent her anger, she would be unhappy for the next few days. Rather than making herself unhappy, she might as well make them unhappy.

It's much better to use Gu Yanli's hands than to do it yourself.

Besides, she was criticized because of Gu Yanli, so why should she have to suffer this alone?

This isn't like her at all!

"You should be reserved. This is something you taught me, Ayan."

Su Yiran sat upright. "My public image is that of a gentle and kind woman, a soft-spoken and virtuous wife and mother. If I were to lay a hand on someone, they would gossip behind my back that I am a shrew!"

"..."

Gu Yanli couldn't help but laugh when he saw her sitting so seriously. "Stay away from Wang Zeyuan in the future."

"why?"

Su Yiran pouted and looked at Gu Yanli with innocent eyes.

"He can't outmaneuver you, don't lead him astray."

Gu Yanli glanced at her, noticing how awkwardly she was sitting there, and asked, "Aren't you tired?"

"..." Su Yiran twitched the corner of her mouth, "When you're out and about, you have to be mindful of your image. You can't embarrass Mr. Gu."

Gu Yanli frowned. This unusual behavior gave him a bad feeling.

It wasn't until he got home that Gu Yanli realized something was wrong.

"Ayan, I want a hug."

Su Yiran lingered in the car, reaching out to Gu Yanli to carry her out. She wouldn't get out unless he carried her. At that moment, her cheeks were flushed.

drunk.

He even claimed to have a good alcohol tolerance, but he's really stubborn!

Su Yiran looked at the unmoved man in front of her, and sobbed softly, feeling wronged, "Ayan, don't you like me anymore? It's okay, I'm fine on my own, fine..."

"Drink less from now on."

Gu Yanli bent down and carefully lifted the person out, then turned around and saw a head peeking out.

He Rui hid behind the car, his eyes peeking at them.

Gu Yanli noticed him and frowned, "What time is it? Why aren't you asleep? Don't you have school tomorrow?"

He Rui walked out timidly, pointed at Su Yiran, and asked, "Uncle, what happened to Aunt? Did you bully her?"

"She's tired."

It's hard to say who's bullying whom.

Gu Yanli instructed the servants, "Take Arui downstairs to rest. He's not allowed to stay up this late again!"

"Yes."

The maid pulled He Rui back, saying, "Young Master Rui, I'll take you back to rest."

He Rui stared at his uncle's retreating figure, bit his lip, and glanced at the maid beside him. "My uncle is so fierce. Will he bully my aunt?"

"This……"

Bully?

What kind of bullying are you referring to?

"The master treats his wife very well, so young master Arui can rest assured."

He Rui looked at the servant for a long time, then nodded, "Alright."

Gu Yanli carried the person upstairs, who giggled incessantly, "So good, so good..."

Gu Yanli placed the person on the bed and asked in a low voice, "What's good?"

Su Yiran refused to let go, clutching his clothes with both hands, "Ayan is so good, Ayan is the best, Ayan is the best to me in the world!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she looked up, opened her mouth and bit his neck, giving him a light but firm bite. "We're even."

"..."

The teeth marks aren't severe; they'll disappear in less than two days.

I remember it after all.

Gu Yanli curled his lips and chuckled softly in her ear, "We can't settle this."

-

Su Yiran received a call from the gallery, saying that someone was causing trouble.

She rushed over immediately, but before she even got there, she saw a large crowd of onlookers gathered at the entrance.

Su Yiran didn't go in. She saw the people causing trouble inside from afar, and the familiar faces made her heart ache.

"I'm your boss's mother! Get your boss out here, right now!"

When Liu's mother appeared in the hall, she saw broken bottles scattered all over the floor and knew that her mother had been making a fuss for some time. In her hand was a painting that Meng Ran had recently purchased from France.

It's considered the store's prized possession because it's priced much higher than the others.

The wedding between the Gu and Liu families is imminent, just as they wished, yet they still come to cause trouble. Could it be...?

Su Yiran had a guess and went inside. "You should be careful with that painting you have. I heard that the Liu family is not doing well recently. If there is any problem with this painting, I can't say whether the Liu family can afford to compensate for it with its current resources."

The Liu family is now surrounded by creditors. If it weren't for the relationship between the Gu and Liu families, would they be so foolish as to cause trouble for others?

Upon hearing this, Liu's mother glanced at Su Yiran who had just entered and said, "You're threatening me? I'm your mother!"

“Mom, I’m just keeping my personal and professional life separate.” Su Yiran said calmly, avoiding the broken pieces on the floor as she walked into the reception room. “If you don’t want to be the butt of jokes, then stay there.”

Liu's mother opened her mouth, glanced at the dozen or so pairs of eyes staring at her outside, but ultimately, pride trumped everything, and she angrily went into the reception room.

A moment later, someone knocked on the door and brought in coffee.

It was a rather unfamiliar face.

Su Yiran paused for a moment before realizing who she was.

Yan Lianhe mentioned that she had sent someone in last time. She had seen him once from afar before going to France, but didn't have a deep impression of him. Now, looking at him closely, he was indeed quite good-looking.

Su Yiran withdrew her gaze and looked at her angry mother in front of her. "Why did you come today?"

More precisely, she wanted to ask how she ended up here.

How did she know she had an art gallery here, and even accurately say that she was the owner?

"Su Yiran, you've really gotten a lot of guts since you got involved with Mr. Gu."

Liu's mother looked around. The gallery was quite large and uniquely decorated. "They actually opened a gallery without our knowledge. It looks like business is good."

Su Yiran lowered her head and took a sip of coffee, then smiled and said, "Even if business is good, it won't end up in our working-class pockets. Mom has made a mistake."

"Who are you trying to fool!"

Liu's mother said, "Jiaojiao told me that this gallery is yours. All the other socialites and ladies know this, but you kept it from me. Su Yiran, I am your mother. I treat you like my daughter, but you treat me like a thief?"

Liu Jiaojiao?

Su Yiran pondered the name for a moment.

Liu Jiaojiao knew she owned an art gallery, probably because she overheard her introducing the gallery to those wealthy ladies on the cruise ship last time.

So what if I heard it?

Anyway, she can't keep it a secret forever.

"Since you treat me like a daughter, you don't need to beat around the bush when you speak."

Su Yiran said directly, glancing at the time, "Mom, I can't do what you asked. My time is precious. Please leave."

Liu's mother's face darkened. "I haven't even said what it is, and you're already saying it can't be done? Su Yiran, do you even respect me as your mother?!"

"Your whole heart belongs to the Liu family, but do you truly consider me your daughter?"

Su Yiran retorted, "Do you think that once you marry into the Liu family, they will treat you sincerely? You think Liu Jiaojiao treats you like a mother, but do you know what she says about you behind your back?"
