Chapter 265 Contradictions
Su Yiran stood aside and listened silently, not daring to make a sound.
Gu Yanli raised an eyebrow at Madam Lan's words, glanced at the time, and chuckled softly.
"Are you mute? Can't you speak?"
Madam Lan kicked Gu Yanli in annoyance. "Who was it that said we shouldn't stay out too late last time? Look at the time! It's two in the morning! How old are you? Don't you have any sense of time? It's so late, how dangerous is it for Yiyi to be out here? I don't care how late you stay out, but you dared to take Yiyi away and come back so late, Gu Yanli, I'm asking you, what are you trying to do?"
"..."
After Madam Lan launched into a tirade, Gu Yanli was speechless for a moment. He timidly walked past her, then took Su Yiran's hand and ran upstairs.
Madam Lan frowned as she watched the two figures walk away. "Gu Yanli, I'm talking to you!"
Gu Yanli made up an excuse, "I heard you, Mom. You should get some rest!"
"Mom, it's getting late, you should go to sleep!"
As soon as Su Yiran finished speaking, Gu Yanli pulled her back to the room and closed the door.
She turned to look at him, a smile playing on her lips, "I never thought you'd end up like this."
Gu Yanli smiled and asked, "What do you think Mom will do next?"
"What do you mean?"
Su Yiran didn't understand.
Gu Yanli just smiled, pulled her to the window, drew back a curtain, hid behind the wall, and secretly looked out the window, "Look outside."
"What are you looking at?"
Su Yiran looked puzzled and turned her head to look out, just in time to see a car driving out of the manor. "W-who is going out so late?"
Gu Yanli raised an eyebrow. "What do you think?"
"..."
Su Yiran met the man's gaze and realized what he meant, "Mom?"
Gu Yanli nodded.
"Where is Mom going so late?"
Where can we go?
Gu Yanli said, "You think she stayed up all night just to catch us coming home late? She was probably just about to go out when she bumped into us on our way back."
"..."
It turned out to be the case.
Su Yiran understood and nodded, "Mom is amazing. I need to learn from her later. That move was really clever."
"Yo."
Upon hearing this, Gu Yanli patted her forehead, "Don't waste your energy. Who can you fool with those little tricks?"
"Then can't you do what you did today, knowing full well what Mom is thinking but not calling her out, and then when it's my turn, pretend you don't know anything?"
"impossible."
Gu Yanli pinched her cheek and closed the curtains. "Go take a shower quickly."
"No..."
Su Yiran sat on the sofa. "I'm so tired, I don't want to move."
"Shall I wash you?"
"I do not want."
"why?"
"To show your courtesy for nothing is to be either an adulterer or a thief!"
"Since you asked me to help you, shouldn't I get something in return?"
"I do not want!"
"Then go take a shower yourself."
"Wait a minute, I'm so tired, let me rest for a while."
"It's so late."
"You know it's late? I said I was coming back a long time ago. Who didn't want to come back?"
"Oh, so this is my problem? Who insisted on drinking milk tea, and even specified that particular brand? I had to travel halfway through Kyoto to find it. Let's not blame each other."
"..."
Su Yiran pouted and looked at him with a wronged expression, "Are you blaming me?"
Do you think I'm blaming you?
"Yes."
"..."
Gu Yanli met her gaze, pinching her cheeks with both hands. "Are you sure?"
"Well……"
Su Yiran grunted, "You're threatening me!"
"Then don't you think so?"
"……no!"
Su Yiran was in pain from being pinched, so she glared at him irritably before he let go.
"If my face is swollen when I wake up tomorrow morning, I'll tell Mom that you pinched it!"
"Are you using your mother to pressure me again?"
"Mind your own business, as long as it works!"
"...Go take a shower quickly, then go to bed."
"No rush, why are you in such a hurry!"

Su Yiran saw Meng Ran again a week later.
She attended the banquet with Gu Yanli.
I ran into her by chance.
"I mean."
The moment Meng Ran saw Su Yiran, her mind went completely blank. She remained silent for a long while before finally asking, "How have you been lately?"
When Su Yiran and Gu Yanli were together, the man saw Meng Ran, his face immediately darkened, and he pulled her away.
"Ayan."
Su Yiran looked at him.
"Don't see this kind of person again."
Gu Yanli spoke up.
Su Yiran looked at him without saying a word.
She never contacted Meng Ran during this time; she was avoiding it and afraid to face it. But there must be a reason for this.
There will always be a day when we face it.
During the banquet, while Gu Yanli was talking to others, Su Yiran slipped out to look for Meng Ran. After searching around, she couldn't find her and learned that she had been kicked out.
Without even thinking, it's obvious who did it.
Gu Yanli had her thrown out.
"Mrs. Gu?"
As Su Yiran's thoughts drifted, a voice interrupted her, and she looked up.
A man walked towards her.
She looked at the newcomer, who seemed somewhat familiar, and paused for a moment before realizing, "A-Yang?"
"You still remember me."
Ah Yang smiled and said, "Miss Wang is waiting for you inside."
Su Yiran looked in the direction he pointed and said, "Okay, thank you."
Su Yiran nodded and was about to walk over when she caught a glimpse of A Yang's scarf, which looked quite nice.
She stopped and pointed to his scarf, "I'll take one of these, put it on Ayan's tab, thank you."
A-Yang didn't react at first, and only then did he belatedly thank her, "Okay, thank you, Mrs. Gu."
This is his first order of the night.
This scarf costs seven figures.
"You're welcome."
Anyway, it wasn't her who paid for it.
Su Yiran waved her hand and walked into the private room.
"Ayan..."
She spoke, but as soon as she went in, she saw a familiar face.
She was stunned.
She never expected that Meng Ran would be with Wang Yanxi.
Wang Yanxi knew about the gallery incident and that there was a conflict between the two of them. She waved to Su Yiran and said, "What are you still standing there for? Come here."
Su Yiran met Meng Ran's gaze and walked over.
"You two have been together for so many years. Speak up about anything and don't keep it bottled up inside. It's not good for either of you."
As she spoke, Wang Yanxi left the private room for the two of them and got up to leave.
Inside the private room, the two remained silent for a long time.
Meng Ran spoke up, "Yiyi, I know you don't want to see me right now, and I didn't want to bother you anymore either. But I saw Ayan at the door just now, and she insisted on letting me in, so I..."
Her voice was very soft, and by the end, it had completely stopped.
"You know that's not what I want to hear."
Su Yiran bit her lip and finally spoke the words that had been weighing on her mind for so long, "I haven't dared to contact you these past few days. I can't believe that my friend of over ten years would betray me. Ranran, we shouldn't have any conflicts, right?"
