Chapter 13 Mother is more valuable than son
Gu Yanli remained calm, but he emphasized each word.
"Is Mr. Gu jealous? Or angry?"
Su Yiran sighed and said aggrievedly, "This is not my fault. After you said 'as I wish,' you disappeared. I thought Mr. Gu was just teasing me, like teasing a cat or dog outside. I tried to contact you and sent you messages, but you didn't reply. Go ask around, what kind of boyfriend ignores his girlfriend like this?"
As she spoke, she took out her phone, opened the chat history, and waved it in front of Gu Yanli. The man glanced at her screen, a slight smirk playing on his lips, then took out his phone and shoved it in front of her.
[The message has been sent, but was rejected by the other party.]
Su Yiran stared wide-eyed at the glaring exclamation mark, looked down at her phone to check her notes, and gasped.
She actually blocked Gu Yanli without anyone noticing!
"Miss Su, aren't you going to explain?"
"It was a typo, absolutely a typo!"
Su Yiran looked slightly embarrassed, forced a smile, and held his hand in a flattering manner, "I just kept refreshing the page because you hadn't replied to my messages for a long time, and I accidentally touched it. I'll remove you from the blacklist right away."
Su Yiran operated the device in front of him, "Look, it's out. Why don't you try sending a message?"
"So, according to Miss Su, I deserve it?"
Gu Yanli raised an eyebrow, gripped his phone, opened the settings, and added the person to the blacklist.
Su Yiran looked at him, "..."
Does this man really need to hold a grudge like that?
She did it by accident, but he did it on purpose, and even blocked her right in front of her!
Is it something you're doing to annoy her?
Fortunately, she was magnanimous and didn't hold it against him.
"However, Mr. Gu, you should really discipline your nephew. He was really mean to me just now and even tried to hit me."
Su Yiran wouldn't let any opportunity to complain slip by. "If you don't believe me, ask Assistant Chen. Did he see it?"
Chen Lie, whose name was called, twitched the corner of his mouth. He had indeed seen what happened just now, but it was hard to say who was fiercer.
"Young Master Gu's behavior was indeed inappropriate."
Chen Lie said.
Gu Yanli didn't speak, but looked at Su Yiran with his eyes turned to the side. After a moment, his phone rang. He looked away, glanced at the caller ID, and answered the call.
Unsure of what the other person said, Su Yiran noticed that Gu Yanli suddenly glanced at her and then replied, "Understood."
After ending the call, Su Yiran leaned closer and asked, "Is Mr. Gu unhappy?"
Gu Yanli flicked her forehead with his fingertip, "How dare you ask?"
"Ah, it hurts!"
Su Yiran rubbed her forehead, angrily saying, "Mr. Gu, do you have a tendency to commit domestic violence? You hit people all the time, it hurts a lot. If you get disfigured, you'll have to take responsibility!"
"Squeamish!"
Gu Yanli shook his head helplessly, "Miss Su still has a chance to regret it now."
"No regrets."
Su Yiran pouted, muttered something under her breath, and rubbed her head with her back to Gu Yanli, sulking.
I don't know when I fell asleep.
Sleep until the next morning.
Gu Family Manor.
Su Yiran woke up on the soft bed, stretching lazily. The curtains opened automatically, revealing a boundless sea. A gentle breeze stirred the surface, creating ripples.
There was a knock on the door, and a maid's voice came through, "Miss Su, the master and Mrs. Lan are waiting for you to have breakfast together."
Su Yiran opened the door, "Mrs. Lan?"
The maid nodded. "Madam Lan is the master's mother."
It turned out to be the case.
Su Yi later learned that she was from the He family in Kyoto and her name was He Lan.
At the manor, after Gu Yanli's father passed away and Gu Yanli took power, she was called "Old Madam" for a period of time. However, his mother thought it sounded too old-fashioned, so she started calling her Madam Lan.
However, she is still consistently referred to as "Madam Gu" in public.
Su Yiran finished getting ready and went downstairs. As soon as Madam Lan saw her, she walked over happily and took her hand. "Yiyi, tell me, what did you do yesterday? When that boy Ayan brought you back, you were sleeping soundly. Were you exhausted? I specially had someone make some soup for you to nourish yourself."
Seeing the other woman's malicious smile, Su Yiran knew she was having impure thoughts. "No, you misunderstand. Besides, this is our second meeting. If Mr. Gu notices something's wrong and finds out about what happened at the hotel last time..."
"What's there to be afraid of? He's busy with a meeting in his study and won't be coming down anytime soon."
Madam Lan told Su Yiran to relax.
Thieves are always guilty.
Madam Lan's visit to the Shenghao International Hotel last time was no accident. If Gu Yanli finds out that she was the one plotting behind the scenes, all her efforts will be in vain.
"Alright, I know my son. How could I not know what he's thinking?"
Madam Lan pulled Su Yiran to sit down and personally served her a bowl of soup. "If he has no intention of doing this, no amount of forcing him will work."
Su Yiran sensed something was off about her words and opened her mouth to ask, when she saw the man appear on the spiral staircase.
Gu Yanli came down from the study and walked towards the dining room.
Su Yiran lowered her head and drank the soup. Madam Lan whispered in her ear, "I often drank this soup when I was pregnant with Ayan. It was very effective. Listen to me, you have to use a child to keep a man's heart."
"puff!"
The rich soup got stuck in her throat, causing Su Yiran to choke.
She composed herself, and a hand reached out, offering her a tissue.
Gu Yanli's fingers were slender and long, with distinct knuckles, and extremely beautiful.
It really proves the saying that people with good-looking faces are unlikely to be bad-looking in other aspects as well.
Su Yiran took the tissue and wiped her mouth. "Mr. Gu, are you done with your work?"
Gu Yanli hummed in agreement, looked at the soup in front of him, glanced at his mother, and naturally understood everything.
Madam Lan was perceptive and did not stay in the restaurant to disturb the two of them.
Gu Yanli spoke up, "This soup is too thick and not suitable for drinking in the morning. Change it."
Upon hearing this, the servant stepped forward and took the soup away.
"Need not."
Su Yiran defended herself, saying, "I think this soup is delicious. It was prepared for me by your mother herself, so I can't let it go to waste."
Gu Yanli looked up at her possessive expression and curled his lips into a smile. "Miss Su, are you planning to use your child to gain status?"
"is it not OK?"
Su Yiran made no attempt to hide her thoughts.
Gu Yanli just smiled and didn't say anything.
Su Yiran spent the whole day wandering around the Gu family manor, feeling extremely bored. Gu Yanli had disappeared since breakfast, and the servants in the manor treated her with utmost respect, but none of them had a chance to speak to her.
That evening, Gu Yanli was still nowhere to be seen.
Meng Ran asked Su Yiran to come out and invite her to a cruise ship banquet.
It lasted for three days and three nights.
Su Yiran was bored, so she agreed. She was about to tell Gu Yanli and edit the message when she saw the red exclamation mark. Suddenly, she remembered that he had blocked her!
Goodness!
