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

Chapter 31 Strict Wife Control

"Ranran, you said yesterday that Liu Jiaojiao and the others also came to France. Is it because of the new project?"

Su Yiran had a question in her mind, and after holding it in for a long time, she couldn't help but ask, "I think this restarted project is related to my father."

Liu's father was ambitious, but she also had some understanding of the project. The project proposal was made more than ten years ago, and it was suddenly stopped halfway through, without any person with the surname Liu participating.

"Did you discover something?"

Meng Ran looked at her and said, "Actually, I noticed that Gu Chengjing's family attaches great importance to this project. Of course, our Meng family also attaches great importance to it. After all, it is a project worth hundreds of billions or even trillions. Everyone wants a piece of the pie. But I find something strange about it. I can't quite put my finger on it. A woman's intuition is always accurate. I'll have my brother sound out the situation later."

"it is good."

Su Yiran nodded.

That evening, I had intended to invite Meng Ran to have dinner with me, but Meng Jinxing called me away.

No sooner had Meng Ran left than Gu Yanli returned.

It was snowing heavily outside. Snowflakes landed on his shoulders, and melted instantly as soon as he stepped inside, soaking his coat with water.

"Mr. Gu is back."

Su Yiran ran over with a smile and took off his coat for him. "My friend just left, and I was worried that I would have no one to have dinner with. It's just perfect that you're back. Isn't that a coincidence?"

The so-called showing courtesy for nothing is either cheating or stealing.

Since disembarking from the cruise ship last time, Su Yiran has become much more "reserved." This sudden change made Gu Yanli unable to resist taking a second look at her.

"You've caused trouble?"

"What are you talking about!"

Su Yiran pouted, "In Mr. Gu's eyes, am I just a troublemaker?"

"Absolutely."

Gu Yanli chuckled, reached out and patted her little head, then went inside.

Su Yiran, clutching the clothes, frowned as she watched his retreating figure and followed him. "Mr. Gu, could you please stop touching my head? It'll stunt my growth."

Just like a dog!

When the owner comes home, the dog will wag its tail and wait at the door for its owner to return, and then the owner will reward the dog by scratching its head.

So what did he take her for?

Pooh!

"It's already quite tall; it doesn't need to grow any longer."

Gu Yanli washed his hands and came out. He looked at the little woman standing outside and waved to her, "What are you still standing there for? Aren't you hungry?"

Here.

More like it!

He was just short of making a suggestive remark.

Once a certain premise is established, no matter what Gu Yanli does, people will unconsciously project their own experiences onto it.

Su Yiran shook her head, put down the clothes in her hands, and went over to ladle out the soup. "Mr. Gu, please try it and see if the soup I ladled out is sweeter?"

The soup was very hot and steaming.

The man's gaze shifted upwards and landed on Su Yiran. "You want to ask about the project?"

Su Yiran couldn't hide her thoughts, and Gu Yanli was clever enough to notice anything unusual.

"You can ask directly if you want to ask; there's no need to beat around the bush."

Now that the truth has been revealed, Su Yiran no longer needs to hide anything. "You deliberately let me see those documents last time. Why did you do that?"

"Yiyi, I'm a businessman, and I never do business that loses money."

Gu Yanli said, “This project was stopped by my father. There were many interests involved, so he had no choice but to stop it. Your father was a member of the team, and the project plan disappeared on the night your father passed away. Over the past ten years, countless versions of the ‘plan’ have appeared. No one knows better than you, his own woman, whether they are true or false.”

"So you married me just for this?"

Su Yiran was completely confused.

Gu Yanli countered, "Do you believe that?"

"Do not believe!"

Su Yiran denied it outright, saying, "You're a businesswoman. This is obviously a losing proposition. It's not worth it."

Su Yiran didn't care why Gu Yanli wanted to marry her; neither of them had pure intentions, and neither had the right to accuse the other.

"So, who came up with that plan?"

"The Liu family."

Those two simple words instantly relieved Su Yiran.

It's highly likely that her mother brought it to the Liu family's house.

"Did you find anything about the car accident back then?"

Su Yiran looked at Gu Yanli and asked, "Was it an accident, or was it done intentionally?"

"Do you have someone you suspect?"

Gu Yanli's casual remark sent Su Yiran's heart pounding: "It really wasn't an accident."

She knew it wasn't an accident.

She had mentioned it to her mother before, and her mother would scold her for being out of her mind. Later, she told Uncle Zhong, and Uncle Zhong also emphasized that it was an accident.

Gu Yanli took out his phone and made a call. A minute later, Chen Lie walked in with a document.

"lady."

Chen Lie handed the documents to Su Yiran. "These are photos of the scene of Mr. Su's car accident. After the accident, there was a heavy rainstorm, and all the evidence was washed away by the rain and disappeared. There were no surveillance cameras nearby either. Now, trying to find it again is like looking for a needle in a haystack."

Su Yiran looked down at the documents. The scene of the car accident was a mess and very blurry. Only the wreckage of the car could be vaguely seen, along with the police investigation results at the time.

Because no information was found at the scene, it was determined to be an accident.

Because the driver died at the scene, there was no resolution other than some compensation.

That night.

Su Yiran had a nightmare. She dreamt of the day her father had his car accident. In the pouring rain, he was calling for help. The sound of the rain grew louder and louder, gradually drowning out her father's voice until it was completely drowned out by the rain.

“Yiyi!”

The woman beside him was muttering to herself in a soft voice, her forehead covered in cold sweat and her whole body trembling.

"Is that so?"

Gu Yanli patted her face and called her name several times. Seeing that she was still immersed in her dream, he realized something was wrong and quickly pressed the intercom to call a doctor.

Su Yiran was having a nightmare.

With the doctor's intervention, the person in bed gradually improved.

In the latter half of the night, Su Yiran slept soundly.

When Su Yiran woke up, the first thing she saw when she opened her eyes was Gu Yanli lying next to her.

She had just tried to get up when she found herself completely encircled in Gu Yanli's arms, unable to move.

"woke up?"

A man's voice came from above.

"Let me go."

Su Yiran looked up and met his gaze, "I..."

The man silenced her with a kiss, silencing her.

Gu Yanli's movements were light yet domineering, allowing her no resistance whatsoever, yet he wouldn't actually hurt her.

“Gu…Gu Yanli…”

Su Yiran placed her hands on his chest, softly calling his name, and finally reluctantly took a bite.

hiss……

Gu Yanli winced in pain, released her, pursed his lips, and tasted blood in his mouth.

"It seems Yiyi wants everyone to know what we did last night?"

"Isn't that good? I just want everyone to know that not just anyone can sit in Mrs. Gu's position."

"So domineering?"

Gu Yanli laughed and said, "Does Madam want everyone to know that I'm henpecked?"
