Chapter 77 Take care of yourself
"Yiyi?"
The sound in her ear brought Su Yiran back to her senses.
Liu's mother looked at her as if to say, "What are you thinking about, so engrossed?"
Lost in memories, Su Yiran took a deep breath and asked, "I was wondering, how is your injury from last time? Have you been having regular checkups?"
"It seems my precious daughter still cares about me the most," Liu's mother said with a smile. "I'm fine now. The doctor said my injury wasn't serious. Don't worry, I'm all better now."
Su Yiran's gaze fell on her back. "I think I'll take a look first, I..."
"Need not."
Mrs. Liu refused, but then someone knocked on the door, and a servant's voice came, "Madam, Mr. Gu has arrived."
"Mr. Gu?"
Upon hearing this, Liu's mother paused for a moment, then met Su Yiran's gaze. "It seems Mr. Gu has come to see you. Let's go down together and not keep Mr. Gu waiting."
Su Yiran smiled and was about to get up when the water glass on the table spilled onto her clothes.
"ah……"
Liu's mother frowned and exclaimed in surprise, "Did you get burned?"
"fine."
Su Yiran waved her hand, looking at her soaked clothes, "Mr. Gu is a germaphobe. He'll be unhappy when he sees me like this. Please go down first, I'll tidy up."
"Alright."
Liu's mother neither agreed nor disagreed.
Offending Mr. Gu will bring bad luck to the entire Liu family.
"Get ready and come down quickly."
"it is good."
Su Yiran responded, watching the figure hurriedly leave the room, her smile faded, she got up and went outside, listening to the conversation downstairs, before carefully entering another room.
Her gaze fell on the safe at the very back of the wardrobe in the room.
The safe uses fingerprint recognition, but it also has a spare key. She took the spare key out of her pocket, looked around to make sure no one was there, and then opened the safe door.
Inside the safe, besides half a cabinet full of gold bracelets and cash, there was a stack of documents.
She glanced through the documents; they were all confidential files from the Liu family, and at the very bottom was a business card.
The paper is somewhat yellowed, so it's probably quite old.
"Yiyi..."
Su Yiran was holding the business card when she suddenly heard a sound outside. Without thinking too much about it, she quickly took a picture and slipped out to her room.
There was a knock on the door soon after.
"Yiyi, are you dressed?"
Su Yiran quickly took out a clean set of clothes from the wardrobe.
"Mom went inside."
As the doorknob turned, Su Yiran's heart leaped into her throat. She changed her clothes and rushed out the door before she could come in, saying, "I'm all changed, Mom."
"Just change it..."
Liu's mother looked at her clothes again and frowned. "These clothes are from a few years ago and they've faded from washing. Go and change into something else right away."
Su Yiran explained, "Mom, this is the only piece of clothing I can find that I can wear."
She had no private space in the Liu family, including her room. Whenever Liu Jiaojiao was unhappy, she liked to go into her room and destroy her things. All her other clothes were cut into rags, except for this one.
It's probably in a corner that was missed during the cutting process.
Mrs. Liu's face stiffened. Meeting her gaze, she could guess what was going on, and looked away. "Go down first, don't keep Mr. Gu waiting."
Given the power and status of the Gu and Liu families, Gu Yanli sat on the sofa with a calm expression, his eyes closed, his lips tightly pursed, and a look of weariness on his face. Even though he was just sitting there without saying a word, the air around him was filled with the oppressive feeling of someone in a superior position.
Mr. Liu stood respectfully to the side, his eyes cautiously watching the man on the sofa, cold sweat dripping from his forehead, not daring to breathe loudly.
He had only said one sentence when Gu Yanli gently raised his eyes, his gaze as cold as an abyss, and gave him an unpleasant glance. His back was already soaked with sweat.
In particular, the bodyguards that Gu Yanli brought were all expressionless and tall; they could crush him with just a little force.
When Su Yiran came downstairs and saw the scene in the living room, she was stunned for two seconds.
Although Gu Yanli was always accompanied by bodyguards when he went out, they always followed at a distance.
This was the first time she had seen Gu Yanli so assertive in the country.
Gu Yanli opened his eyes, glanced at the woman coming downstairs, and stood up. "Finished with work?"
Su Yiran nodded.
"Go home."
Gu Yanli took Su Yiran's hand and turned to leave.
"Mr. Gu, please wait a moment."
Mr. Liu, whose legs had gone weak from fright, suddenly spoke up, "What happened yesterday was just the two sisters playing around. Mr. Gu went too far and scared Jiao Jiao so much that she can't even get out of bed."
These words made Su Yiran raise an eyebrow.
She expected them to bring this up, but she didn't expect them to be so blunt about it in front of the person in question.
Gu Yanli remained silent, and Liu's father turned his gaze to Su Yiran, "Yiran, that's your sister, say something."
"Yes……"
Su Yiran gripped Gu Yanli's hand, bit her lip, and looked at him with a wronged expression, "Mr. Gu, that's my sister."
Gu Yanli lowered his eyes, meeting Su Yiran's gaze, and said coldly, "You also think it's too heavy?"
Su Yiran nodded, tightening her grip on the man's hand. "Yes, little Jiaojiao has always been pampered by her mother and Uncle Liu since she was little. After suddenly experiencing this, she's still lying in bed. She's so pitiful."
Gu Yanli frowned, shook off her hand, and the air suddenly seemed to drop several degrees.
"Are you trying to teach me how to do things? I'll give you five minutes to clean up this mess in your house, or else you'd better watch yourself."
As soon as he finished speaking, the man turned and left, followed closely by his bodyguard. The living room was instantly empty.
Su Yiran watched his retreating figure, a tear rolling down her cheek. She turned to the two of them and said, "Mom, Uncle Liu, it's not that I didn't want to plead for Jiaojiao. You've both seen Mr. Gu's temper; he's always a man of his word. I had no choice."
"This……"
The two exchanged a glance; this scene was clearly unexpected.
Liu's mother spoke up, "Yiyi, you and Mr. Gu, you two..."
"As you can see, I have no say in his presence."
As Su Yiran spoke, tears streamed down her face. "I envy Jiaojiao. Young Master Gu treats her so well. Her life will definitely be wonderful after she marries him. If it weren't for what happened recently, I would be the one marrying Young Master Gu."
Mr. Liu's face stiffened. He glanced at the time and hurriedly urged, "Yiran, Mr. Gu has a bad temper. You should usually go along with him. Hurry up and go out. Don't keep him waiting, or he'll get upset again."
Su Yiran looked at him hesitantly, "But Uncle Liu, about Jiaojiao's matter..."
Mr. Liu waved his hand, "I have my own plans for this, so you don't need to worry about it."
"Alright, it's my fault for being a useless older sister and not being able to help Jiaojiao. I'll go out now."
Su Yiran sighed with difficulty and reluctantly left the Liu family.
