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

Chapter 227 Gu Yanli, have you changed your ways?

"What do you think?"

Charles looked into Liu Mei's eyes, then irritably tossed her aside. "I'm just trying to warn you, don't think that just because you've hooked up with Mrs. Gu, you can save your father. He doesn't deserve to live in this world."

What did you do to my father?

Hearing his words, Liu Mei immediately became alert and looked up at him. "You said that as long as I listen to you, you won't harm my father. You broke your promise!"

"I told you to obey, did you?"

Charles sneered, "If you had really listened to me in the private room, you wouldn't have gone out. Sister, I know you're stubborn."

"I was really feeling unwell at the time."

Liu Mei grabbed his hand, "As, I only went out because I didn't want to embarrass you."

"My sister has always been a good talker."

Charles looked at her with a smile, "Unfortunately, I'm not the same As who used to follow you around every day. I'll stay here before we disembark. If I find you misbehaving again, you'll never see your father again."

After saying that, the man turned and left.

"As... Charles!"

Liu Mei watched his retreating figure, one hand clutching her stomach, her brows furrowed in pain.

……

Gu Yanli talked about business until very late, and when he returned, Su Yiran was already asleep.

She didn't sleep very soundly. She vaguely heard someone beside her. After struggling for a while, she opened her eyes and looked at the man in front of her. "Why did you take so long to come back?"

His voice was tinged with displeasure.

It was as if she was blaming him for ruining her sweet dream.

"I'm sorry, I disturbed you."

After taking a shower, Gu Yanli lay down next to Su Yiran and pulled her into his arms. "From now on, don't interfere in Charles's affairs."

"why?"

Su Yiran looked up at him and asked, "Are you upset that I'm meddling in your business and causing you trouble?"

"Don't say things like that again. I just don't want you to make yourself unhappy."

Gu Yanli rubbed her head. "Their situation is complicated. Let them resolve it themselves. If you interfere, it might backfire."

"..."

Su Yiran couldn't refute this.

She could tell something was off when Charles took the person away.

"alright."

Su Yiran nodded. "There's one more thing, Nalin. Not only did you blacklist her, but you also sent her to a mental hospital?"

Mental hospitals are places where even healthy people can develop illnesses from staying there.

"Who?"

Gu Yanli was stunned. "There are too many people who have been blacklisted. I can't remember them all."

"..."

Su Yiran glanced at him speechlessly.

That’s all.

If you can't remember, that's fine.

Actually, I don't believe someone like Nalin, who would throw sulfuric acid at her for no reason, isn't mentally unstable.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Gu Yanli asked again, "Who is it? Why aren't you saying anything? How am I supposed to know if you don't tell me?"

"..."

Su Yiran twitched the corner of her mouth and turned her back to him, "Don't bother me, I want to sleep."

"Going to bed so early?"

Gu Yanli whispered in her ear, "We haven't had any time alone together since An'an came into our lives."

"..."

Su Yiran chose to ignore it automatically.

Don't listen, don't listen, the bastard chants sutras.

"Yiyi..."

Gu Yanli pulled the person back, "Let's talk. It's kind of scary to talk to just me."

"..."

Su Yiran looked up, "What did you say?"

"A romantic getaway for two?"

"……Do not!"

Su Yiran refused outright.

"Don't you miss me?"

The man's low, husky voice whispered in her ear, his warm breath spraying all over her neck, tickling and making her feel very uncomfortable.

"Gu Yanli, did you take some kind of stimulant today? Staying up so late at night!"

"Doping?"

Gu Yanli thought for a moment and nodded, "That works too, it'll add some fun."

"..."

This guy might be acting strangely today.

Su Yiran met Gu Yanli's gaze and suddenly remembered what had happened before, "I haven't settled the score with you for the photos yet, you have to give me back the photos!"

"What picture?"

Gu Yanli looked at her with an innocent expression.

"Are you trying to play dumb with me? You think you don't know what kind of photos they are? Gu Yanli, so what if you're a nice guy and a bit lecherous? I like looking at electronic men, so what? Is that illegal? You even stole my phone and tampered with my photos. Don't you have any shame?"

This is her only hobby, and he wants to stifle it!

It's totally unfair.

"Shame on you."

Gu Yanli nodded, "I just feel sorry for you."

Su Yiran seemed to have heard a novel answer and immediately perked up, "What do you mean by that?"

"It must be so painful to see something but not be able to touch it."

"Yeah, it's so painful, Ayan. You understand me best. Sometimes when I see those photos, I wish I could crawl into them."

"So, I'll grant your wish now."

"Ok?"

Su Yiran stared at Gu Yanli in shock, "You've changed your ways?"

"I can't let my wife suffer, no matter who else is at fault."

Gu Yanli smiled, took her hand, and held her against his chest, strong and firm.

"So, which is better, having a male mistress or having a mistress?"

Su Yiran twitched the corner of her mouth for a moment.

She really thought Gu Yanli had changed his ways, but it turns out he's still just as petty.

"Gu Yanli, how childish are you?"

“My wife is always eyeing other men. I’m just defending my dignity. How is that childish?”

"..."

Su Yiran looked away. "Stop fooling around, I want to sleep."

"Yiyi..."

Gu Yanli looked at her with a pitiful expression, "Keep me company, and I'll grant you one request, anything."

"...But I don't want anything."

Seeing Gu Yanli's appearance, Su Yiran felt a pang of sympathy. "Then tell me, what do you want to give me?"

"..."

Gu Yanli pondered for a moment and said, "Aren't you used to Gu Jing being by your side? Let him continue to follow you."

"Need not."

Su Yiran shook her head, "I'm not used to him anymore."

"what happened?"

"Don't you know how many times he's been punished because of me?"

"..."

Gu Yanli's expression shifted, and he explained, "This is his job. He didn't do his job well, so he should be punished. I can't cover for him; that wouldn't be fair to the others."

"So if he didn't follow me, he wouldn't have encountered this kind of thing."

"Yiyi is still blaming me."

"I don't blame you, I only blame myself. It was my carelessness that caused all this trouble."

"So when rumors started circulating about the Sangleviga Estate, you chose not to tell me?"

"..."

Su Yiran was stunned. "You knew?"

"I know what kind of person you are. Those words are not even for you to hear."

Gu Yanli gently ruffled her long hair. "Not many people know about what happened back then. Aren't you curious about who spread the rumor?"

Su Yiran bit her lip.

Not many people know about that; it can be deduced easily using a process of elimination.
