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

Chapter 68 Gu Yanli, Your Nephew Bullied Me

"..."

Su Yiran stomped her foot and turned her back to Gu Yanli.

The next second, Wang Yanxi called again, and Su Yiran hesitated to answer, feeling guilty.

Finally, he replied with four words—

There's nothing I can do to help!

In the afternoon, Su Yiran received a call from her mother. It was Liu Jiaojiao's day to be discharged from the hospital, and her mother wanted her to come home for a meal and bring Gu Yanli along.

She didn't tell Gu Yanli about this, and simply refused, saying he was too busy.

Offering unsolicited hospitality is likely a trap; the meal might be a trap.

Even if Gu Yanli doesn't go, she can't escape.

At seven o'clock in the evening, she returned to the Liu family home on time.

"Yiran is back."

When Liu's mother saw Su Yiran enter, she smiled and walked over, her gaze falling on what was behind her. "Didn't Mr. Gu come?"

Su Yiran said calmly, "He's busy."

"Yes, look at my brain, you told me before, but Mom forgot."

Liu's mother smiled and pulled Su Yiran inside, "Today we're celebrating Jiaojiao's discharge from the hospital, so we bought a cake. We're just waiting for you to cut it together."

Su Yiran walked into the living room and saw Liu Jiaojiao and Gu Chengjing, as well as the cake on the table.

The cake was exquisite, and the filling was cantaloupe.

As she spoke, Liu's mother placed the knife into the hands of the two women. "You and Jiaojiao both like cantaloupe. It's rare for you two sisters to like the same fruit, so I bought this cake. What are you waiting for? Hurry up and cut the cake."

Su Yiran looked at the cake in front of her, curled her lips, and cut the cake without making a sound.

She doesn't like cantaloupe, but not to the point that she can't eat it; she just finds it disgusting.

Her mother forgot what she didn't like to eat; she had already gotten used to it.

But Gu Chengjing and Liu Jiaojiao definitely knew that she didn't like cantaloupe.

Su Yiran ate half of the cake in her hand and smiled, "This cake tastes good. Which store did you buy it from? I'll bring one back for Mr. Gu later."

Gu Chengjing glanced at her with a strange look in his eyes.

Liu Jiaojiao was frustrated because she hadn't met her expectations, and she felt a lump in her throat that she couldn't swallow.

Mr. Liu spoke up, "Does Mr. Gu also like cake?"

Su Yiran curled her lips and opened her mouth, but before she could speak, Gu Chengjing interrupted her, "Your uncle doesn't like sweets, Yiran, you don't even know that?"

Upon hearing this, the other three people all turned their gazes to Su Yiran.

Especially Liu's mother, "Yiran, what's going on? You've been with Mr. Gu for quite a while, how come you don't even know what he likes and dislikes? I'm not trying to criticize you, but to win someone's heart, you must first win their stomach."

Su Yiran twitched the corner of her mouth.

If it weren't for Gu Yanli's influence, she wouldn't have had the chance to receive such a kind look from her mother.

"What you're saying means that Young Master Gu knows his uncle very well?"

Su Yiran countered by asking Gu Chengjing, "Why don't we go find Mr. Gu and ask him if he likes sweets or not?"

"I……"

Gu Chengjing said guiltily, "I was just kindly reminding you that you are Jiaojiao's older sister, and I was worried that you might unintentionally offend your uncle, which would implicate the Liu family."

"Young Master Gu is overthinking it. What I like, Mr. Gu likes too. What I don't like, he'll dislike too if I just whisper in his ear. So, Young Master Gu, be careful what you say and do in the future. I hold grudges!"

"..."

This meal was destined to end unhappily.

She wouldn't have come back to be treated like this if her mother hadn't personally called to ask her to come home for dinner.

Su Yiran ate a little something, and looking at the loving family of four, her heart felt increasingly heavy, so she made an excuse to leave.

At the entrance of the Liu family's residence.

A Rolls-Royce pulled up in front of her, and Chen Lie got out of the passenger seat and opened the door for her. "Madam, you don't look well. Are you feeling unwell?"

"fine."

Su Yiran shook her head, lowered her head, and got into the car.

As soon as she got into the car, Gu Yanli pulled her to his side. Seeing her resentful face, he gently smoothed her brow with his fingertips. "Since you know you'll be unhappy coming back, why make yourself miserable?"

Gu Yanli's silence only made things worse. Once he spoke, Su Yiran's grievances welled up like a flood, her eyes reddening uncontrollably. She turned to look at him and asked, "Gu Yanli, do you even like sweets?"

Su Yiran felt extremely stifled. She took a deep breath and said, "Your dear nephew insists that you don't like sweets and that I don't understand you. So, do you like them or not?"

"like."

Gu Yanli reached out and ruffled her hair, looking at her angry face, "He deliberately made things difficult for you, and you still fell for it."

I hate your nephew!

"I hate it, too."

"Would you like some cake?"

Gu Yanli glanced down at the time and looked at her. "That restaurant you mentioned last time is still open. Let's go see what new dishes they have."

Su Yiran met his gaze, bit her lip, and nodded, "Then it's settled. You're the one who wants to go, and I'm just going with you."

"it is good."

Gu Yanli nodded with a smile in his eyes.

On the way to the cake shop, Su Yiran's mood gradually calmed down.

The cake shop had indeed launched new cakes, and not just one type. Su Yiran picked out several pieces. "Delicious, Ayan, try them!"

Su Yiran directly fed the spoon to Gu Yanli's lips, and the man obediently opened his mouth and ate it.

"It's really good."

Gu Yanli nodded, looked around, picked out a few items at random, and asked Chenlie to send them to Gu Chengjing.

"Why!"

Su Yiran objected, "Wild boars can't eat fine chaff. It's a waste to give him such a delicious cake. It would be better to..."

She looked at the waiter and said, "Do you have any cakes that are close to their expiration date, the kind that are really sweet and cloying? Give me five of them."

Gu Chengjing doesn't like sweet things, and he barely touched the cake at dinner.

Gu Yanli looked at her, a smile playing on his lips, but said nothing.

Before leaving the cake shop, she specifically instructed, "You must make sure Gu Chengjing finishes all of these; he can't miss a single bite."

"Okay, ma'am."

The display responded.

……

Su Yiran last saw Qiao Sen a month ago. In a couple of days, he will be holding an exhibition in Shenzhen. Since the exhibition is about to start, he can't get away, so he asked his assistant to send him an invitation.

Since Johnson was famous, his exhibition was sure to be a gathering of experts, so she agreed on the spot.

The invitation was received yesterday, and Su Yiran and Meng Ran arrived in Shenzhen the following morning.

She had never been to Shenzhen before and wanted to take the opportunity to explore the city before the exhibition started.

Back at the hotel, Meng Ran lay wearily on the bed. After a moment, she turned to Su Yiran and said, "You left Kyoto so suddenly without even saying goodbye. Aren't you afraid Mr. Gu will have a problem with that?"

"He's too busy to care about me."

The Gu Group is so busy that Gu Yanli hasn't been home for two days.

She didn't tell him she was coming to Shenzhen this time, but you can't blame her for that.

She called him before boarding the plane, but he didn't answer.
