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

Chapter 58 Is Madam going to complain again?

Su Yiran tilted her head back, meeting Gu Yanli's gaze with an air of arrogance, "Now I have my mother backing me up, if you dare to bully me, I'll..."

"Go and complain?"

Gu Yanli pinched her cheek, "Do you think someone on the other side of the world can protect you?"

"...It's none of your business!"

Su Yiran pouted, picked up her phone, and got up to leave the study, but a pair of hands gripped her wrists tightly. "Where are you going?"

"I want you to take care of it!"

Su Yiran paused, pulled her hand out of the study, and as soon as she stepped outside, she saw Chen Lie coming up.

"Hello, madam."

"Hello, Assistant Chen."

Su Yiran nodded and went downstairs.

Chen Lie watched her retreating figure, knocked on the study door, and only went in after receiving a response from inside.

Mrs. Lan sent Su Yiran many travel videos. She was sitting on the sofa in the living room, watching them with great interest, when she received a call from Meng Ran.

She said she saw her mother at the hospital; it looked like she'd been in a car accident, and it seemed quite serious.

Su Yiran was stunned for a moment, then rushed to the hospital immediately.

The mother's injuries were superficial and not serious. When Su Yiran arrived, the nurses were treating her wounds. The most serious injury was that of Liu Jiaojiao, who was still in the operating room.

The car was involved in a rear-end collision. At the time, the mother, Liu Jiaojiao, and Gu Chengjing were in the car. The mother was in the back seat and was less injured. When the accident happened, Liu Jiaojiao protected Gu Chengjing immediately, which resulted in the loss of her unborn child on the spot.

"Mom, how are you?"

Su Yiran frowned as she watched the nurse apply medicine and bandage her. After all, she was her mother, and she wanted her to be alright more than anyone else.

Her injuries were concentrated on her arms and back.

She looked at her battered back, then paused as if she had thought of something.

"So you still consider me your mother!"

Looking at Su Yiran, Liu's mother sneered, "I must have had the worst luck in eight lifetimes to have given birth to you!"

Su Yiran listened to her words in disbelief.

She had heard many such things before, but never one so absolute.

Meng Ran was startled by these words, and smiled to ease the atmosphere, "Auntie, I brought you some things. I hope you can recover well. Yi Yi and I have something to do, so we'll be leaving now."

Because of what happened at the gallery last time, Liu's mother was still angry and ignored her.

Meng Ran put her things on the table, then pulled Su Yiran away from the ward.

"Yiyi..."

Meng Ran looked at her worriedly, "Auntie is just in a bad mood after this happened. Just listen to what she said and let it go. Don't take it to heart."

Su Yiran bit her lip and nodded, "How many times have I heard these kinds of words over the years? I've long since come to terms with it."

People without desires have no worries. Perhaps she was too greedy. No matter how many times she went through it, she still wanted to find the long-lost maternal love in her mother.

In the end, it only made them disliked.

"Let's go back."

Meng Ran sighed and pulled Su Yiran to leave, but Gu Chengjing suddenly appeared in front of them, blocking their way.

"Gu Chengjing, what's wrong with you?"

Meng Ran frowned as she looked at the newcomer.

Gu Chengjing ignored Meng Ran and turned his gaze to Su Yiran. "Su Yiran, your sister is lying in the operating room. Her life hangs in the balance, and you haven't even said a word of concern. Do you have any conscience at all!"

Su Yiran met Gu Chengjing's gaze. "If it weren't for Liu Jiaojiao lying in the operating room, do you think I would still be here talking to you like this?"

She disliked Gu Chengjing, but their child had just died, so she wasn't going to, and couldn't bear to, argue with the father of a child who hadn't even been born yet.

"Gu Chengjing, the car accident has nothing to do with me. Nobody wants this to happen. Please don't try to morally blackmail me."

Su Yiran didn't want to talk to him anymore, so she walked past him and went straight into the elevator.

"Su Yiran, don't think that everything will be fine just because you've hooked up with Gu Yanli now. A man's novelty has a limited lifespan. He's not as good to you as he seems."

The elevator doors closed, shutting out the sounds from outside.

"who!"

Meng Ran was angry. "He just lost his own child, and he still has time to meddle in your affairs. He can't stand that you're doing better than him. Yiyi, let me tell you, this is the most realistic mentality of men!"

Seeing others living better than me is worse than eating shit!

"Don't worry, I won't let someone who doesn't want to be involved affect my mood."

Su Yiran forced a smile.

Meng Ran noticed her absent-mindedness and assumed that she was upset because of what had just happened.

Su Yiran's mind flashed to her mother's back. She bit her lip, opened her mouth, and was about to say something when the elevator doors opened.

"Assistant Chen?"

The elevator doors opened, revealing a display stand at the entrance, carrying large and small gift boxes.

Seeing this, Meng Ran asked in confusion, "What a coincidence, do you have a relative at the hospital?"

Su Yiran also noticed what he was carrying, and after just one glance, she guessed what it was.

"Madam, Miss Meng."

Chen Lie greeted her respectfully, then turned his gaze to Su Yiran, saying, "The master is waiting for you outside."

Su Yiran nodded in agreement and stepped out of the elevator. "Thank you for your help."

"It's all what I should do."

Chen Lie stepped into the elevator, and the elevator doors closed.

Outside the hospital, a Rolls-Royce was parked conspicuously to the side, its familiar yet domineering and distinctive license plate immediately recognizable to Su Yiran.

She looked up, gazing intently at the person opposite her; nothing could be seen behind the privacy glass.

Meng Ran, standing beside her, whispered, "Mr. Gu is very thoughtful. Knowing that you two don't get along, he didn't personally intervene because he didn't want to put you in a difficult position."

Since someone's come to pick me up, I'll head back now. Poor me, all alone, with no one to keep me company.

Meng Ran smiled, patted Su Yiran, and left. As they passed the Rolls-Royce, the car door slowly opened, and the man appeared in Meng Ran's sight.

"She's in a bad mood, so Mr. Gu will have to put in a lot of effort to coax her."

Gu Yanli nodded slightly and looked at Su Yiran who was walking over.

Meng Ran had already walked away, and Su Yiran stood outside, pouting, "You guys were whispering to each other behind my back?"

"Are you unhappy?"

Gu Yanli looked at her, reached out and pulled her up. His palm was icy cold. He frowned as he looked at her thin clothes and turned up the car's temperature. "What do you want to eat tonight?"

Su Yiran shook her head. "I've never eaten a meal cooked by you before."

Upon hearing this, Gu Yanli raised an eyebrow, his laughter echoing in her ear, "Aren't you afraid it's some kind of culinary disaster?"

"Have you never done this before?"

Su Yiran met his gaze, "Or what are you good at? I'd like to try."

"What I'm good at... I'll have to think about that."

That put him in a difficult position.

He has hardly ever been in the kitchen since he was a child, let alone cooked for himself.
