Chapter 266 Hold Me! (The End)
"No."
Meng Ran shook her head, biting her lip and clenching her hands tightly. She hesitated for a long time before speaking, "No matter what, it's my fault, but I had no choice. I'm sorry, Yi Yi, I... I really had no choice at the time. I was so scared. I had to listen to them and call you."
She regretted it when she made the call, but she didn't dare tell the truth.
"The Ling family?"
Su Yiran took a deep breath.
"I do not know."
Meng Ran shook her head, "At the time, several men grabbed me and said they wanted me to call you and ask you to come out, otherwise they would... they would..."
"..."
Judging from her reaction, Su Yiran roughly guessed what she was trying to say.
“I don’t know why they insisted that I meet you. If I had known they had bad intentions, I would never have made that call.”
As Meng Ran spoke, she took Su Yiran's hand and said, "Yiyi, I'm sorry, I'm so sorry, I'm really sorry..."
"What's the point of saying this now?"
Su Yiran pursed her lips and withdrew her hand. "That gallery... why didn't you discuss it with me beforehand? If you were short of money, you could have just told me. Even though I wasn't in Kyoto at the time, Ayan was. The gallery has been around for so many years; we built it up step by step. How could you just buy it like that?"
"I...I'm sorry."
Meng Ran lowered her head, "My brother was suddenly in a car accident, Meng's stock price plummeted, and the board of directors is putting immense pressure on me. I really have no choice, and I can't possibly go to you again, I..."
"Car accident?"
Upon hearing this, Su Yiran frowned and took a deep breath. "When did this happen?"
"You haven't been in trouble for long."
As Meng Ran was speaking, the door to the private room was suddenly pushed open from the outside, and Gu Yanli appeared in front of her.
"Ayan?"
Su Yiran turned around and met Gu Yanli's gaze.
"I've been looking for you for so long, what are you doing here?"
As Gu Yanli spoke, he instinctively pulled the person behind him.
"Mr. Gu."
Meng Ran stood up timidly, her head down, not daring to look at Gu Yanli at all.
"Who gave you permission to be here?"
The man's voice was cold, so cold that Su Yiran gasped. She grabbed his hand, "Ayan, you..."
“I wasn’t talking to you.”
Gu Yanli glanced at her, his tone indifferent, which startled Su Yiran.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Gu, I'll leave immediately."
Meng Ran's face turned pale, and she lowered her head and left them.
"you……"
Su Yiran watched her retreating figure and subconsciously wanted to follow her, but before she could take a step, she was pulled back by the man beside her.
"The banquet is over, let's go back."
Gu Yanli's expression was deep, his lips tightly pressed together, as he watched her hand leave the banquet.
"Yiyi..."
Just as she stepped outside, she ran into Wang Yanxi, who was returning. "What's wrong? Did you explain things clearly to Ranran?"
Before Su Yiran could speak, Gu Yanli lowered his eyes and glanced at her with displeasure. "You let her in?"
Wang Yanxi knew that Gu Yanli was not someone to be trifled with, but this behavior still frightened her. She opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say.
"Ayan".
Wang Zeshen has arrived.
"Mind your own business and don't meddle in other people's affairs."
Gu Yanli glanced at Wang Zeshen, left a message, and pulled Su Yiran into the car.
"What did you do?"
Wang Ze asked in depth.
"What's wrong with me?"
Wang Yanxi felt confused and looked at her brother, "What did I do wrong? I just saw that Yiyi and Ranran had a conflict and wanted them to clear things up."
"Meng Ran?"
Wang Zeshen frowned as he listened, "From now on, you should mind your own business."
"What's wrong?"
"Yiran's disappearance last time was definitely related to Meng Ran."
"What?! I don't know that!!"
Nobody told her that, how would she know?
But how could Ranran be involved in the disappearance?
……
Gu Family Manor.
Gu Yanli got out of the car first, took a couple of steps, and when he realized there was no movement behind him, he turned around, looked at the person still lingering in the car, shook his head helplessly, walked over, and held out his hand, "Want to spend the night in the car?"
"Sleeping in the car is better than having to deal with your attitude."
Su Yiran pouted.
"Are you still angry with me?"
Gu Yanli bent down and squatted beside the car. "You're usually so intolerant of even a speck of dust, so why are you being so lenient with Meng Ran now?"
"I just want to figure out why."
Su Yiran said, "Did you already know about her brother's car accident?"
"Ah."
Gu Yanli nodded. "Is it my fault for not telling you?"
"..."
"Relenting?"
"..."
"Is it because of Meng Jinxing that you softened your heart, or is it simply because of what happened a while ago and you don't want to hold a grudge against Meng Ran?"
"……I……"
Su Yiran lowered her head and remained silent.
"What are you all standing there for? An'an is crying and making a fuss, and her father-in-law has been trying to comfort her for a long time... Gu Yanli, are you bullying Yiyi again?"
Madam Lan's voice came from not far away.
"dad?"
Su Yiran was stunned. "Why is my dad here?"
"I just had someone pick them up today."
As Gu Yanli spoke, he held her hand and said, "Let's go back. If we don't go back, Mom will give me trouble again."
"My dad isn't..."
"I've explained it clearly, so don't worry."
"Huh? You said that?"
"Do not believe?"
"When did you say that?"
"I won't tell you... I'm going back to see An'an."
"You won't even say anything, why are you being so stingy..."
Su Yiran pouted, just about to get off the bus. Her legs were numb from sitting in one position for too long.
Gu Yanli noticed something was wrong with her and asked, "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
"My legs are numb."
"..."
"A Yan..."
"Ok?"
"My legs are numb."
"so what?"
"hug me."
