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

Chapter 220 Abandoning Husband and Son

Su's father looked at her intently and said, "The Gu family has many enemies. I don't agree to you getting involved in this mess."

"He will protect me."

"You say he can protect you, but have you forgotten what happened four or five months ago?"

"..."

Su Yiran gasped sharply.

"What are you saying? I... don't understand."

“You’ve kept it a secret very well, but nothing stays hidden forever. Federer is ruthless and won’t let this go. Your Uncle Zhong is gone… that’s the best example.”

"what?"

Su Yiran's eyes immediately reddened, incredulous, "You heard about it?"

“A month ago, his ashes were sent back and buried in his hometown. He had no children in his life, and I personally arranged for his burial.”

These words left Su Yiran speechless for a long time.

Gu Yanli probably knew about this, but he hadn't revealed a single thing to her.

“I’m going to Shenzhen in a week. I’ve wronged you all these years. I just want you to be happy, but I know I have no right to interfere with your decision… Think it over carefully. Once you’ve made up your mind, we’ll go to Shenzhen together.”

"Why go to Shenzhen? Isn't Kyoto good enough?"

"I've lived in Kyoto my whole life, and now I just want to change my way of life."

"..."

"Also, your mother's car accident, although it wasn't directly related to the Gu family, was still inextricably linked to them. I don't deny how good Gu Yanli was to you, but if you choose to stay in the Gu family, you might have to live in fear for the rest of your life. Is that the life you want?"

*

The day her father woke up, he told Su Yiran about her mother. There were too many factors involved in that car accident back then. If all the blame is placed on Gu Yanli, wouldn't that be too unfair to him?

He was just a child back then.

"The master is back."

Su Yiran stared at the baby in the crib, her thoughts drifting, until the nanny said something to her, bringing her back to her senses.

Gu Yanli looked at the baby sleeping soundly in the crib and asked the nanny to take the baby to the nursery.

"what happened?"

Gu Yanli walked up to Su Yiran and rubbed her furrowed brows. "You went to see your father? Didn't you say you were going to stay for dinner? You're back so early. Did something unpleasant happen?"

"I... Ayan, there's something I want to ask you, and you have to tell me the truth."

"Okay, you say."

How did Uncle Zhong die?

"…You know everything?"

“I know I shouldn’t be soft-hearted, but you were in Federer’s hands. If he hadn’t helped me behind Federer’s back, I might not have been able to escape. So I want to know, what happened after I left? Was it an accident or something?”

"The car accident, the car involved in the collision, is registered under Federico’s name, and all the evidence now points to the other driver being drunk."

Gu Yanli told the truth, "The situation was special at the time, and I didn't want to upset you because of this, so I chose not to tell you."

"Dad is going to Shenzhen."

Su Yiran hesitated for a moment before saying, "He doesn't want to stay in Kyoto... He wants me to come with him."

"..."

Upon hearing this, Gu Yanli's face stiffened, and his brows furrowed. "Then what do you mean? Are you planning to abandon your husband and children?"

"..."

Abandoning her husband and children?

That's a good question.

“I might abandon my husband, but if I leave, I will definitely take An’an with me; he is my son.”

"But he's my son too!"

Gu Yanli held her hand. "You'd rather have An'an than me, is that right?"

"An'an is much cuter than you."

"Then I don't care."

Gu Yanli said, "If you dare to leave with my son without a word, I will personally catch you and lock you in a room with an iron chain. You won't be able to go anywhere."

"are you crazy!"

"You drove him to madness."

"You're being unreasonable, I'm not talking to you anymore, I'm going to see my son!"

"An'an is asleep, don't disturb him."

Su Yiran got up to leave, but after taking only two steps, Gu Yanli pulled her back. "Leave Dad to me. Don't worry. Even if he doesn't want to stay in Kyoto and goes to Shenzhen, we can still go to Shenzhen to see him."

"...I'll leave it to you?"

Su Yiran clearly didn't believe Gu Yanli. "What do you plan to do? Dad doesn't like you, so you probably won't even get to see him."

"I have my own way of handling this. This is not something you should worry about. Just wait patiently for my good news."

"Why all the secrecy?"

Su Yiran pouted and didn't ask any further questions.

Her father didn't want her to stay with Gu Yanli, simply because he was worried about her safety, but she had already waded into this mess and there was no way to avoid it.

It's no longer something that can be solved simply by her leaving Gu Yanli.

Gu Yanli acted quickly. It's unclear what he said to his father, but his father's attitude was much better than it had been a couple of days ago. Although his attitude towards Gu Yanli remained the same, he no longer mentioned making her leave the Gu family.

Su Yiran knew that her father was acting this way simply because of her mother's situation.

A week later, Dad went to Shenzhen with Sheng Jiahe.

Gu Nian'an was still young, and Su Yiran was not suitable for traveling far, so they did not send them to Shenzhen.

The gallery's business has improved a lot recently, especially thanks to Peng Wenjing's friends who have been very supportive of her business.

Meanwhile, Meng Ran had been pressured to go on blind dates and had been hiding at the Gu family manor.

"I'm so annoyed."

Meng Ran sighed, "I'm only twenty-four or twenty-five, still young, but they keep pushing me to go on blind dates, as if I'll never get married. Oh, by the way, Wang the big star is trending again, have you seen it?"

"No."

Su Yiran shook her head. "She's a public figure, isn't it normal for her to trend on social media?"

"It's normal for her to trend on social media, but the last time it caused a huge uproar because of the rumors of her engagement to Peng Wenjing, so if the rumors are confirmed this time, the buzz will only be even greater."

I've been busy with the gallery lately, so I haven't had time to follow entertainment news.

Su Yiran went online to take a look.

at the same time.

The main entrance of the Peng Group.

Wang Yanxi walked straight in as soon as she got out of the car, but unexpectedly, she was caught red-handed by reporters who had been lying in wait.

"Wang Yanxi is there, quick!"

Suddenly someone shouted, and the reporters swarmed around her faster than she could run.

A bunch of cameras were pointed at her face, asking her questions that were trending on social media and that netizens were paying attention to.

Behind her sunglasses, Wang Yanxi lowered her eyes.

The assistant immediately protected Wang Yanxi, saying, "Excuse me, reporters, Ms. Wang is not giving interviews right now, thank you."

She was surrounded by multiple layers of security, but thanks to the Peng family's protection, she had a chance to escape.

"Keep a close eye on their side, don't let them distribute it indiscriminately."

Wang Yanxi was getting a headache from the noise and instructed her assistant, "Especially the headlines."

After all, those people will come up with any kind of headline just to get attention and grab people's eyeballs.
