Chapter 159: Can’t eat and walk around
As Old Master Gu spoke, he unconsciously lowered his voice further, "Name your price and get it to me."
"..."
Su Yiran just looked at him, blinked innocently, and didn't say anything.
Old Master Gu frowned after not hearing a response for a long time. "Whether it's okay or not, just give me an answer. Don't be like a mute and stay silent."
"..."
Su Yiran was shocked, "I can speak now?"
"..."
Old Master Gu took a deep breath. "Speak!"
Su Yiran let out a long sigh of relief and said loudly, "What did you just say? I've been a little hard of hearing lately, so I can't hear you very well. Could you say it again?"
"..."
Old Master Gu stared at her, his face dark.
"Are you angry?"
Su Yiran smiled and said, "You want that painting? Did you buy it from me?"
Why are you shouting so loudly!
Old Master Gu frowned.
With so many people outside, doesn't he have any shame?
“Tell me how much to spend, it will come from my private treasury, all of it is your private savings.”
Su Yiran listened, feeling somewhat embarrassed.
She shook her head. "No, it's not about the amount of money. Last time, because of this garden, Ayan found out and locked me in the house for several days. If he does the same thing again, I'll be in big trouble."
Grandpa Gu grunted, "I didn't realize you were afraid of Ayan!"
“I’m really scared, sir. I’m a very timid person. I tremble all over when I hear the name A-Yan.”
"..."
At the same time, a bodyguard came in and said, "Mr. Gu is here. Come this way."
Grandpa Gu panicked and hurriedly had the garden courtyard moved away.
Gu Yanli knocked on the door and came in.
"Old Gu."
"Ayan is here."
Old Master Gu looked at the man who came in and said, "Your wife just arrived, and you followed right after. Are you afraid I'll hurt her?"
"where."
As soon as Gu Yanli entered, his gaze fell on Su Yiran. He took her hand and said, "My wife is a lively person. I won't disturb your peace and quiet. I'll take her back first."
"It's getting late, why don't we eat first...!"
"Then I won't disturb you any longer, sir. I'll head back now."
Su Yiran knew what Old Master Gu was thinking, and as soon as she finished speaking, she turned and left.
There must be a reason why Gu Yanli collects paintings. If Old Master Gu wanted them, he could have simply bought them at an auction for a high price. Why go through the trouble of buying them from her?
Wanting a painting but not being willing to pay a high price? There's no such thing as a free lunch.
Do you really think she's some kind of vengeful person?
We have to catch her alone and take advantage of her!
In the car.
Gu Yanli kept staring at her.
Su Yiran felt uneasy under his gaze, her momentum weakened, and she frowned, "Why are you looking at me like that? It's creepy."
"Have you forgotten what I told you last time?"
"What did you say?"
"..."
"Oh, I remember."
Seeing that his expression was off, Su Yiran quickly patted her head and said, "Look at my head, I need to eat something to nourish my brain."
Gu Yanli gently pinched her cheek, "I think you're a bit dim-witted!"
How could you swear at me!
Su Yiran said aggrievedly, "I'm so honest and cute, how could you scold me? It will make me sad."
"..."
"Besides, Old Master Gu asked me to go this time. He is an elder, and I couldn't refuse, so I had no choice but to go."
Su Yiran looked at him, "You're not really going to chain me up, are you?"
Gu Yanli frowned. "I do have that plan."
"Is it too late for me to run away from home now?"
"...What do you think?"
"……That's too late."
On board a pirate ship.
Su Yiran quickly took out her phone.
Gu Yanli raised an eyebrow at her flustered appearance. "What are you trying to do now?"
"Find your mother, or you'll just sit here and wait to die!"
"Su Yiran, you!"
Gu Yanli snatched the phone away, saying, "You're always calling for your mother, are you still a child?"
"Isn't that right? Could it be that Ayan thinks I'm too old?"
As Su Yiran spoke, she suddenly sighed, "Sure enough, once you get married, men show their true colors and become nothing."
"..."
Gu Yanli was truly at a loss with her, and handed the phone back to her, saying, "Aren't you anything now?"
"No, no, no."
Su Yiran waved her hand and took the phone.
"You even told on her to Mom?"
"No, no!"
"Are you happy?"
"I'm happy."
Su Yiran nodded vigorously.
……
The last time I saw Liu Jiaojiao was on my way to see Ayu, after hearing those words in the restroom.
Ayu's divorce from her husband was finally over. She had just come out of the police station when she saw Su Yiran and smiled, "Yiran, when did you arrive? Have you been waiting for a long time?"
"No, I just arrived."
Su Yiran said.
Ayu said, "It was just a signing time, but there was a girl inside crying and sobbing. It seemed like she had been a victim of domestic violence. She was covered in bruises and looked quite pitiful. It seemed like they were asking her to take care of something, and that her husband had mental problems."
"Mrs. Gu?"
Su Yiran frowned.
He has mental problems.
Gu Chengjing also has mental health issues.
"Yes, that's it."
Ayu nodded.
Su Yiran was silent for a moment, then looked at Gu Jing, "How is Gu Chengjing?"
Gu Jing said, "It can't be cured, we can only control the condition."
Su Yiran bit her lip tightly, and when she looked up, she suddenly saw a large group of people entering from the front.
She recognized them; they were Gu Chengjing's mothers.
"Ayu, you get in the car first."
As Su Yiran spoke, she walked into the police station.
"lady."
Gu Jing stepped forward and stopped her, saying, "That's Mrs. Gu, it's their family matter. You have no relation to that Mrs. Gu, it's inappropriate."
Su Yiran stopped and looked up at the noisy group of people.
"Comrade, this is my daughter-in-law. She's not quite right in the head. I'm sorry for the trouble. I'll leave with my people now, and the lawyer will handle the rest."
Mother Gu dragged and pulled the person away.
"I'm not sick, your son is sick. Every part of my body is bad, and it's all thanks to you!"
Liu Jiaojiao struggled, then suddenly saw Su Yiran beside her, who lunged at her like a madwoman, crying, "Sister, sister..."
"Be bold!"
Gu Jing frowned, stood protectively in front of Su Yiran, and pushed her away immediately.
When Gu's mother saw Su Yiran, her heart skipped a beat. She smiled and said, "Why is Madam Gu here? My daughter-in-law's behavior was inappropriate. Please don't hold it against her."
"Passing by."
Su Yiran said calmly, her gaze falling on Liu Jiaojiao's injuries.
There wasn't a single good one.
That was way too heavy-handed.
When Liu Jiaojiao saw Su Yiran, it was like seeing a savior. "Sister, sister, save me! Gu Chengjing is sick. I can't go back. He'll beat me to death. Sister, please help me for the sake of the more than ten years I've called you sister. I don't want to die."
