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

Chapter 57 Su Yiran, can't you have any backbone?

Throughout the entire office, Gu Yanli sat next to Su Yiran, applying medicine to her face without saying a word.

Su Yiran's heart skipped a beat.

The ointment felt slightly uncomfortable on the wound. She frowned and sniffed, "It hurts."

A sob came from above. Gu Yanli looked up and met her red eyes. "She really deserves a beating and a lesson."

Su Yiran cried even harder, "I'm already like this, and you're still criticizing me? Do you think I wanted to get hurt?"

"It's because you're too attractive. Every girl who walks by can have her eye on you. I was just annoyed, but who knew... I'd get tricked."

She actually messed up in front of Gu Yanli's suitors, which was very embarrassing for her.

Gu Yanli looked at her, his anger rising. "I see you're enjoying yourself."

I saw her crying so hard downstairs before, and I really thought she was seriously injured.

"I'm really in pain, can't you just say something to comfort me instead of criticizing me?"

Su Yiran looked at him with a wronged expression, "I've never seen a husband like this before."

Gu Yanli met her gaze, then looked at her knees, and sighed, "What would you like to eat? Have someone bring it over?"

"Let's have some small cakes."

Su Yiran knew that Gu Yanli was no longer holding a grudge against her. Her eyes curved into crescents, tears mixed with laughter, "I want to eat at the same restaurant we ate at last time."

"Is that restaurant really that good?"

"Delicious! I love it!"

"understood."

Gu Yanli responded, turned around and told someone to prepare, then sat down to continue working.

Looking at Gu Yanli, who was working diligently, Su Yiran thought of the woman downstairs who was faking an accident, and asked doubtfully, "When you saw her wearing so little and having such a good figure, didn't you feel any impulse?"

For a moment, the man paused, his pen slamming heavily on the table. He looked up and asked, "In Madam's eyes, am I really that indiscriminate?"

"..."

Su Yiran forced a smile to ease the awkwardness, "I didn't mean that, I was just curious how you usually deal with women who take the initiative to provoke you?"

Gu Yanli's lips curled up. "Does Madam mean herself?"

"..."

Su Yiran was speechless.

She almost overlooked one thing: she did indeed provoke Gu Yanli at the beginning.

She murmured, "Will you marry them too?"

"..."

“Then I don’t want to be a mistress. If you find other women, I’ll find other men too. I can’t let myself be taken advantage of.”

Before Gu Yanli could speak, Su Yiran continued to speak to herself.

Gu Yanli frowned and called her name, "Su Yiran!"

"I heard you, I just won't say anything."

Su Yiran obediently shut her mouth, turned her back to him, and mumbled again, "At worst, I'll just look for it quietly."

She didn't believe that Gu Yanli could find out without anyone noticing.

"You can try it."

A man's voice came from above.

In the blink of an eye, Gu Yanli appeared behind her and overheard her words.

"I'll give it a try. Who told you to be so mean to me every day? I'll find a man who's gentle and kind to me and can make me happy."

Unfazed by him, Su Yiran retorted, "Then use your money to support him!"

"..."

Gu Yanli was so angry at Su Yiran's words that he laughed. "Su Yiran, can't you have any backbone?"

He even dared to confidently say that he would use his money to cheat on him!

"What's the use of backbone? Money is all you need."

How strong her backbone is depends on how much money she has.

"..."

The office door was not closed, and the secretary was about to knock with a small cake in her hand when she suddenly heard these words at the door, which startled her so much that she hesitated to knock.

Su Yiran noticed the person who came in and let her in.

The secretary, who had just delivered the cake, thoughtfully opened the door and suddenly started whispering about what she had overheard, "Do you know what I just heard?"

"What? Tell me quickly!"

The office is always full of gossip, but because of the special people they usually interact with, they dare not discuss it unless they really can't help it.

Like today.

"I just heard the wife say in front of the husband that she was using his money to support a male mistress!"

"what?"

The office instantly buzzed with excitement. "If Madam really said that, what's the gentleman's reaction? Is he very angry?"

"On the contrary, it's lifeless."

"Sir, are you being so magnanimous now? You're not even angry about something like this?"

……

When Chen Lie returned from his outing, he heard their discussion. He glanced at the closed office door and coughed lightly. "Have you forgotten the rules? What should you say, and what shouldn't you say? Can't you keep your mouth shut?"

Upon hearing the display, everyone returned to their workstations, and the topic ended there.

Chen Lie had always been by Mr. Gu's side, and he saw things more clearly than they did.

Some things that the lady can say, if said by someone else, would have a different outcome.

If Mr. Gu were to hear these words, none of these people would be able to stay in the Gu Group.

Su Yiran was eating her small cake, unaware of what was happening outside.

For the next few days, Su Yiran stayed at home to recover from her injury. The ointment was very effective, and the wound visibly healed.

After breakfast, Mrs. Lan made a video call.

"Yiyi, I had someone bring some things back with me. I don't know what you like, so take a look. Keep the ones you like and throw the rest in the storeroom. They'll come in handy someday."

The happiest person when she and Gu Yanli got their marriage certificate was Madam Lan.

She went on a world tour, but in the past few months, Su Yiran has received gifts from Madam Lan, which she had brought back from all over the world, almost every few days.

"thanks Mom."

Su Yiran smiled as she looked at the people on the screen. The camera was shaking, as if they were in a car. "Mom, I want to go play too."

Mrs. Lan was overjoyed, "Great! I'm here now..."

"Is your knee even better yet, and you're already thinking about going out to play?"

In the study, Gu Yanli listened to the sounds from the front, raised an eyebrow, and went over to convert the video into audio.

"Yiyi, why can't I see your face?"

It seemed like Madam Lan's internet connection was slow; it took a long time before her voice came through. "Yiyi, what's wrong? Are you hurt? Who bullied you? Did that brat Ayan bully you again?"

Hearing Madam Lan's words, Su Yiran looked up and met Gu Yanli's gaze, nodded, and said aggrievedly, "When you're not here, Mr. Gu bullies me, scolds me, glares at me, and yells at me every day..."

"This Ah Yan..."

Madam Lan said, "I will keep this in mind. I will go back and settle the score with him and vent your anger."

"Mom is so kind."

Su Yiran smiled, looked at Gu Yanli beside her, and whispered, "It seems that Mr. Gu's status at home is not very high."

Gu Yanli's eyes crinkled into a smile, his expression widening as he hung up the phone. "Mrs. Gu, have you considered the consequences of distorting the truth in front of the parties involved?"
