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

Chapter 131 Settlement of Accounts

A soft, gentle voice came from behind, stunning Su Yiran into standing still.

She slowly turned her head and saw Mrs. Lan sitting on the sofa in the living room.

Madam Lan stood up from the sofa and walked towards her. "Why are you so late coming back? You didn't even ask Ayan to pick you up. It's not safe for a girl to be out alone so late at night."

Su Yiran met the other person's gaze and said, "Mom, Ranran and I went out to eat and lost track of time. We came back late. I'm sorry, Mom."

"What's there to apologize for? If you're not going to enjoy this at your age, are you going to wait until you're seventy or eighty?"

Madam Lan touched her face. "I was just worried about you. Ayan is also being inconsiderate, not even worried about his wife not coming home so late."

“Ayan has been very busy lately. He left Gu Jing with me. I’m fine.”

Su Yiran smiled and said, "Didn't you go out? Why are you back?"

"It's all because of you. You suddenly hung up on me. I thought you were being bullied by that kid again, so I rushed back immediately."

"I'm fine. I'm sorry, Mom, I made you worry."

"Actually, the main reason I came back this time is to let you see my friend's grandson."

Madam Lan suddenly handed her the phone and said, "Look how cute she is, so fair and tender. When I left, my friend laughed at me, saying I was just wandering around aimlessly. Yiyi, don't worry, Ayan is just too proud to admit his mistake. I'll handle his illness, and I promise you won't be wronged. Don't worry!"

The baby in the photo was indeed adorable. Su Yiran looked down at it for a long time, not paying attention to what Madam Lan was saying. By the time she realized what was happening, it was too late. "What..."

"It's okay, it's late, go upstairs and go to sleep."

"……it is good."

Su Yiran nodded blankly and went upstairs.

Just as she was about to open the door to go back to her room, she noticed that the study light was still on.

Gu Yanli is still inside.

She looked away and went into the room.

After washing up, she lay down on the bed.

In her sleep, she vaguely heard the sound of a door opening. She was too tired to pay attention, so she turned over and continued to sleep.

A short while later, the other side of the bed dented.

The man lay down and turned to hold the person in his arms.

Su Yiran woke up and shifted her body unhappily.

"woke up?"

A man's voice came from above, "Where did you go tonight?"

Su Yiran said calmly, "You should know best where I'm going. I'm feeling very uncomfortable, please let go of me."

Gu Yanli frowned, stood up and looked at her, "Are you feeling unwell? Where do you feel unwell? I'll have the doctor come over."

Su Yiran looked up and met the man's gaze. "I'm very uncomfortable with you holding me like this, Mr. Gu. I just want to get a good night's sleep. Please be kind enough to stop, that's all."

"..."

Upon hearing this, Gu Yanli looked at her intently for a long time before finally whispering, "Get some rest," and then stopped bothering her.

Without Gu Yanli's interference, Su Yiran quickly fell asleep.

I didn't sleep well that night.

My stomach feels a little uncomfortable, but I can bear it.

It wasn't until dawn that I calmed down.

Su Yiran did not sleep in. After getting up, she went downstairs to have breakfast with Madam Lan.

"Yiyi, why are you up so early? Couldn't you have slept a little longer?"

Madam Lan looked at Su Yiran, who had appeared in the restaurant, and smiled as she pulled her to sit down. "Where's Ayan? Why isn't he coming down for breakfast?"

"I didn't see him. He has a habit of exercising in the morning, so he probably did some exercise."

Su Yiran didn't want to continue the topic, so she quickly shifted Madam Lan's attention, "I saw a painting a while ago that would suit you very well. It's in the gallery now. I'll bring it back for you to see if you like it."

"If she likes it, how could Yi Yi have bad taste?"

Madam Lan smiled at her, "Do you know that it's Ayan's birthday next month?"

Birthday?

Su Yiran had specifically inquired about his birthday beforehand, but she was still taken aback when she heard it was next month.

Time really flies.

"Mom, how does he celebrate his birthday every year?"

Su Yiran asked, taking out her notebook, "Tell me who you'd like to invite, and I'll write it down..."

"No please."

Madam Lan stopped Su Yiran's movements. "Don't invite anyone. Ayan doesn't like crowds. I usually throw a big party for him, but he doesn't show up on the day. I, as his mother, have no choice. What do you think? How about the two of you go out to celebrate, or whatever you suggest? Ayan won't refuse."

"……it is good."

Su Yiran nodded.

There had been many problems between her and Gu Yanli lately, and this sudden turn of events left her head spinning and completely confused.

After breakfast, Su Yiran went to the hospital to see her father.

I hadn't been here for a while, and when I asked the doctor about my father's condition, there was no improvement.

She stayed in the hospital for a long time.

She didn't return until late afternoon.

"Is that so?"

As soon as Su Yiran stepped out of the hospital, she saw a figure walking towards her.

Sheng Jiahe's appearance was unexpected.

She hesitated for two seconds, then bent down and got into the car as the person approached.

"Let's go."

Su Yiran ignored the man outside and instructed the driver to start the car.

Sheng Jiahe watched the car disappear into the distance, standing there, holding his phone, ready to send her a message, but his finger lingered on the send button for a long time before he finally gave up.

Su Yiran went home expressionless.

I am restless and uneasy.

Sheng Jiahe's sudden appearance in Kyoto made her feel that something was about to happen.

Gu Yanli had said last time that he wouldn't object to her seeing Sheng Jiahe, but his words kept changing, and she no longer dared to gamble.

She didn't want Sheng Jiahe to be hurt because of her.

He did nothing.

After taking a shower, Su Yiran came out and saw Gu Yanli in the room. She subconsciously glanced at the time.

ten o'clock.

He's quite early today.

She looked away and picked up the hairdryer to dry her hair.

"Let me do it."

Gu Yanli walked behind her and took the hairdryer away.

Su Yiran looked up at him, then snatched the hand away from his. "Your hand is injured, this isn't suitable for you to do. I'll do it myself."

Her tone was indifferent, followed by the soft sound of a hairdryer.

Gu Yanli didn't leave; he stood there waiting for her to dry her hair.

Su Yiran ignored him, got up and put the blankets away, then prepared to lie down in bed.

Gu Yanli's eyes remained fixed on her. "Did you see Sheng Jiahe today?"

Upon hearing these words, Su Yiran's heart skipped a beat.

really.

Is this a prelude to settling scores?

Su Yiran countered, "Really? I don't know."

Gu Yanli continued, "It's at the hospital."

"...I was probably in such a rush on the way back that I didn't notice."

Su Yiran's expression remained unchanged.

She didn't say a single word to Sheng Jiahe from beginning to end.

She didn't know what had gotten into Gu Yanli today, that he was so fixated on this matter.
