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

Chapter 156 Pushing the envelope

"...I like it, I like it."

Old Master Gu's expression improved, and he hurriedly moved the garden courtyard away, fearing that she might change her mind and not give it to him again.

Old Master Gu got back to the point, "Such a big gift, tell me, what is it?"

"What are you saying? I've been married to Ayan for so long but I've never met you before. I came here specifically to pay you a visit."

Su Yiran smiled, looking cautiously at the stick in his hand, "Grandpa, this stick of yours... people shouldn't be so violent. You can talk things out, talk things out properly."

resorting to beatings and scoldings is a rude approach.

Old Master Gu threw down his cane. "Sit down!"

"Alright, these old men."

Su Yiran walked over with a smile, "I heard you were very serious before, and I was scared before I came here, wondering how I would get along with you. I didn't expect you to be completely different from the rumors."

"Oh, what kind of person do you think I am?"

"He's a...lovable old man."

"……you!"

Old Master Gu glanced at her and said, "If you can't speak properly, then shut up!"

What a lovely old man!

It damages his image.

"I'm sorry, sir, look at me, I've said the wrong thing again."

Su Yiran smiled and apologized, then got back to the point, "I came to see you today because I really have something to ask you... I heard that Master Gu and Ayan don't get along very well. Do you know what happened between them?"

Grandpa Gu looked at her, seemingly expecting her words. "What good is it for you, little girl, to ask an old man like me about this? How would I know about your family's affairs?"

"That's not how it's said. You're an elder in the Gu family. How could you not know about something like this?"

Su Yiran thought about making tea for Old Master Gu and brought it over, saying, "Of course, I know my sudden visit is abrupt, but I have my own difficulties, and you must help me."

Grandpa Gu sighed as he watched her make tea. "I'll have Ayan become a tea master and teach her how to make tea properly. It's unbearable to watch."

"Yes, you're right. I heard you have a lot of good tea in your collection. Why don't you teach me? There's no time like the present, let's do it today, shall we?"

"..."

Pushing the envelope.

Grandpa Gu frowned. He genuinely felt that Su Yiran was impolite, but he couldn't find any fault with her, so he could only come to four conclusions.

"No, you're too stupid, I can't teach you!"

Old Master Gu grunted, "Speak quickly if you have something to say, don't disturb my peace!"

Su Yiran met Old Master Gu's gaze, smiled, and then said, "I've heard that Ninth Master Gu has a close relationship with Federico of France. Are you aware of this?"

Upon hearing this, unsurprisingly, Old Master Gu's expression changed, and he became serious, saying coldly, "I don't care who Ayan marries, but as the mistress of the family, she cannot sow discord among the family members. Otherwise, I will not let her off lightly!"

Apart from those in power, members of the Gu family are not allowed to collude with other forces in order to prevent certain thoughts from spreading and affecting the entire Gu family.

Everyone knows Federico's reputation.

If Master Gu really colludes with Federer, the consequences will be unimaginable.

"It's not that I'm stirring things up, but Ayan was injured twice recently, didn't you know?"

Su Yiran said, "Natural disasters are one thing, but if it's a man-made disaster, then it's hard to say."

Old Master Gu's face turned pale.

"You mean those two things are related to Master Gu? And even to Federer?"

"Whether it's related or not, you can find out by checking. No matter how much I say, it's not as convincing as seeing it with your own eyes."

Su Yiran was silent for a while, touched her belly, and continued, "When I was in France, I ran into Federer. He wanted to use me to threaten Ayan. If it were just me, it wouldn't be a big deal, but I was afraid of hurting the baby in my belly, and Ayan's baby. I was afraid that Master Gu would join forces with Federer to hurt Ayan and the Gu family's children. That's why I came to ask about the conflict between Ayan and Master Gu. Only by finding the root of the problem can we solve it."

Old Master Gu's eyes flickered, his gaze landing on her flat stomach. "You're pregnant?"

"Yes, a little over two months."

Su Yiran nodded.

Before Old Master Gu could speak, the bodyguard knocked and entered, saying, "Old Master, Mr. Gu has arrived."

Gu Yanli has arrived!

Su Yiran suddenly tensed up.

She came to see Old Master Gu today without telling Gu Yanli. Will he be angry?

"Are you nervous?"

Old Master Gu glanced at her.

Su Yiran nodded honestly, "He's a really fierce man. If he finds out that I came to see you without his permission and gave away the garden he's collected for many years, he definitely won't let me off the hook. Grandpa, you have to help me."

"He can't possibly hit you, can he?"

Old Master Gu said, "Let him in."

"no!"

Su Yiran quickly grabbed Old Master Gu's clothes, "Old Master, this is just a small favor, it's only a matter of a word, you wouldn't just stand by and watch someone die, would you?"

Old Master Gu smirked. "I dislike meddling in other people's business. Let go!"

"I won't let go."

Su Yiran had no choice but to resort to her trump card: "If you don't agree, I'll take the Garden Garden away, and then none of us will get any benefits!"

"...I've already had that thing put away, you can't take it away!"

“I can’t take it away, but when Ayan comes in later, I’ll tell him and see if he can take it away.”

"you!"

Seeing her so angry, Old Master Gu turned and ordered, "I'm resting, I won't see her."

"Yes."

The bodyguards went out.

"Is this okay?"

Old Master Gu said in a muffled voice, "Aren't you going to let go?"

"Yes, yes...!"

Su Yiran smiled and let go, even thoughtfully smoothing out his wrinkles. "You're such a good person. It's just that Ayan is suddenly missing something. It's not good that there's nothing to cover it up with."

"..."

Old Master Gu's face darkened. "You brat, you insisted on giving that to me, and I already helped you get rid of the person. Now you're telling me this? I've never seen anyone so stingy!"

"Where are you from?"

Su Yiran said, "To express my filial piety to you, and to avoid people thinking that you accepted Ayan's favoritism, I'll give you a discount. This price will be the end of this matter."

Su Yiran placed all five of her fingers on the table.

Grandpa Gu frowned. "You have quite an appetite."

"You should know that on the market, you might not be able to get that thing even if you added a zero to my price. In the end, you still made a profit."

"...So I should thank you?"

"You're welcome!"

"you……"

The moment Old Master Gu saw Su Yiran, he felt a headache coming on. "Someone, prepare money for Madam Gu and see the guest out!"
