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

Chapter 35 Wife

They are family, but not relatives.

Su Yiran raised her eyes and stared at him for a long time. Her brows relaxed, her long eyelashes trembled, and her thin lips parted slightly. "I used to think that the men of the Gu family were fickle, philanderers, and smooth talkers. I didn't expect there to be such a deep-feeling person. But he is still just as smooth talkers. That is what all the men of the Gu family have in common."

Upon hearing this, Gu Yanli frowned. With his deep eyes, the man reached out, grasped her waist, and lifted her to sit on the soft carpet on the balcony, leaning down to look at her at eye level.

Su Yiran twitched the corner of her mouth, instinctively leaning back, "W-what are you doing..."

Gu Yanli held her head with one hand, "I don't remember where I made my wife angry again. You actually compared me to Gu Chengjing. I look down on him, and you still compare me to him. This slap in the face really hurts."

Su Yiran's breathing slowed, and her mind went blank.

He said "my dear wife," not "my wife."

Su Yiran truly admired Gu Yanli's silver tongue; any casual remark he uttered could leave someone bewildered and at a loss for words.

"Oh no, oh no, it hurts so much here, I can't even go out and see anyone."

Su Yiran met Gu Yanli's gaze and pointed to the bite mark on her neck, which hadn't faded at all after so long.

Gu Yanli looked at her neck, his smile widening. He placed his fingertips on the bite marks and gently rubbed them. "It looks very nice. Symmetry on both sides makes it very beautiful."

"..."

That's absolutely insane!

Su Yiran pushed Gu Yanli away and jumped off the balcony. Before her feet even touched the ground, she was tightly embraced.

"Let's talk this out. You'll only hurt yourself if you do this!"

Gu Yanli pinched her cheek in annoyance, carried her back to bed, looked down and saw her feet, which were wearing socks, and chuckled, "You've become health-conscious now."

Previously, Su Yiran would never wear socks indoors. No matter what, she would refuse to wear them. Fortunately, it wasn't cold inside and there was a carpet, so no one bothered her.

It's quite a sight to see it now.

"That's right, I have to live a long time. When you die, all of these will be mine. Then I'll keep a lot of men, and I'll make sure there's a different one every day."

"Then I'd better try to live a few more years, otherwise my wife will cheat on me."

Hearing his words, Su Yiran instinctively pulled her feet back and hid them under the covers.

She used to envy people who didn't get chilblains because they didn't have to suffer from them.

Gu Yanli took in her every move, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously turned up.

There was a knock on the door.

"Sir, someone outside claiming to be your nephew wants to see you."

Who else but Gu Chengjing would dare to claim to be Gu Yanli's nephew?

However, the two are indeed related by blood.

“Mr. Gu, your nephew.”

Su Yiran, clutching the blanket, watched Gu Yanli with an air of amusement. "You two haven't seen each other in a long time, Mr. Gu, aren't you going to go and see them?"

"Mrs. Gu, you seem very happy. Don't forget, that was your ex as well."

Gu Yanli said, "Why don't we go see your ex together?"

“I don’t care. I feel like hitting someone whenever I see him. If something happens on Mr. Gu’s turf, I’m afraid it will be hard to explain to his family.”

"If he's inferior in skill, why would I need to explain? Doesn't he feel ashamed?"

"Mr. Gu is truly heartless, not even helping his own nephew. I wonder who you will side with if I were to fight Gu Chengjing? Or will you just stand by and watch?"

Su Yiran immediately threw out a question that could cost her dearly.

Gu Yanli patted her head, "Aren't you afraid of hurting your own hands if you fight with that kind of man? You're so thick-skinned."

"..."

Su Yiran couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Those outside, not hearing an echo for a long time, wisely left.

Later that evening, Gu Yanli was summoned to his study by a phone call, and Su Yiran vaguely realized that she had forgotten something.

It wasn't until after dinner that she belatedly realized what had happened.

She left the Liu family there for an entire afternoon, not even knowing if they had left.

After dinner, Su Yiran went for a walk and happened to run into the Liu family.

She had always thought that the Liu family only included Liu Jiaojiao and Uncle Liu when they came to France, but she didn't expect there to be another familiar face.

"Indeed!"

Liu's mother spotted Su Yiran coming out of the villa at a glance, strode over, and a slap landed unexpectedly on her face.

The crisp sound of the slap lingered in Su Yiran's ears for a long time.

"Madam, are you alright? I'll go get a doctor."

Upon seeing this, the bodyguards ran over and restrained the man.

The bodyguard spoke in French, which Liu's mother did not understand. "Let me go! I am the mother-in-law of the Gu family. If you offend me, Chengjing will not let you off the hook."

The bodyguard switched to Chinese and said, "We don't know anyone named Chengjing or anything like that. This is the host's estate, not a place for guests like you to act recklessly."

"It hurts..."

The bodyguards didn't hold back, quickly subduing her and causing her to cry out in pain. "I didn't mean to offend Mr. and Mrs. Gu. To put it nicely, she's just your husband's mistress, a mere concubine. Does she even deserve to be the owner of this manor?"

"No rudeness!"

The bodyguard roared angrily.

Su Yiran covered her face, listening to her biological mother's words, looking at her incredulously at her pained expression, and finally couldn't bear it. She whispered, "Let her go."

Even though she did and said many hurtful things, she couldn't bring herself to do anything to her because of their blood ties.

After the bodyguard released her, Liu's mother raised her hand to slap Su Yiran, but she grabbed Su Yiran's hand and said in an icy tone, "One slap wasn't enough? You want to do it again? Mom, that's enough."

If it weren't for their relationship, and for ethical reasons, she would have slapped Liu Jiaojiao to get revenge for that slap.

"Well, so you've managed to climb up to Mr. Gu's coattails and now you dare to challenge your own mother? I guess I've wasted all these years raising you."

Suppressing her anger, Liu's mother said, "Did you do what happened to Jiaojiao? She's your sister. What right do you have to kick her out? I advise you to stop now. When I see Madam Gu later, I can plead with her to let you go."

"Then I'll thank you in advance, Mom."

Su Yiran let out a cold laugh.

She had seen it clearly; she would rather believe that a sow could climb a tree than believe that her own mother would stand by her side.

"However, Madam Liu will have to wait a long time. Madam Gu is with Mr. Gu right now and has no time to see you."

Su Yiran said, "Just a heads up, it's windy at night in the manor, and it's far from the city. I advise you to find a hotel soon, otherwise your whole family will have to sleep on the streets."

Mother Liu frowned. "What do you mean?"

"It means exactly what it says: sharing happiness and hardship. Don't you understand, Mom?"

Su Yiran glanced at the other person and said coldly, "From now on, I don't want to see any member of the Liu family in the manor."
