Chapter 84 Not Important
Su Yiran met Liu Jiaojiao's gaze openly, her lips curling into a cold smile. "Jiaojiao, you're quite well-informed. You even know about Mr. Gu's affairs. I wonder if Mr. Gu would be angry if he knew you were inquiring about his private matters without his consent?"
Liu Jiaojiao wasn't intimidated by her. "Sister, everyone knows about your relationship with Gu Yanli. Don't threaten me. I'm just trying to be helpful. Please hold on tight to Mr. Gu and make as much money as you can. Even if you fall out with Mr. Gu one day, you'll still have some money to rely on so you won't end up in such a miserable situation."
"Then I thank you very much for your kindness, Jiaojiao. I will talk to Mr. Gu when I get back and ask him to give me more money for the sake of his niece-in-law."
"you……"
Liu Jiaojiao didn't see the expression she wanted on Su Yiran's face, and her face turned pale.
The banquet continued. A waiter whispered something in Liu Jiaojiao's ear. She glared at her, then took Gu Chengjing's arm and went inside.
Looking at the lively atmosphere inside the banquet hall, Su Yiran asked, "What kind of event is being held inside?"
The assistant thought for a moment and said, "I heard that a very important person is returning to China. I think he is a researcher. This is a welcome dinner for him."
"researcher?"
Su Yiran pondered these four words quietly.
The assistant had to leave early.
Su Yiran had just stepped into the elevator when a hand suddenly blocked the elevator door. She looked up and saw the man in front of her, raising an eyebrow.
Gu Chengjing stepped into the elevator.
The two stood on opposite sides.
"Yiran, my uncle is not suitable for you."
Gu Chengjing suddenly spoke up, turning his head to look at her.
Su Yiran knew that running into Gu Chengjing wouldn't end well, and for him to say such things so bluntly, he really was Gu Yanli's good nephew.
"Young Master Gu, you didn't come all the way down here just to tell me this, did you? If I remember correctly, your wife is still upstairs. Aren't you afraid she'll get jealous if she finds out?"
"I'm serious."
Gu Chengjing looked at her intently and said, "You don't understand his character at all. You'll regret it if you rashly get involved with him, because he has ulterior motives towards you."
Su Yiran raised an eyebrow. "Then why are you telling me all this?"
Gu Chengjing's expression was serious. "Yiran, we had feelings for each other before, so naturally I don't want you to get hurt just to get revenge on me."
This was the first time Su Yiran had ever seen Gu Chengjing like this. Putting aside whether his words were inappropriate, the fact that he repeatedly smeared her uncle's reputation made her look at him in a new light.
He was a very filial nephew.
The elevator doors opened, and Su Yiran stepped out, only to have the other person block her way.
"Indeed..."
"Has Young Master Gu ever considered that my contact with Gu Yanli might also be for ulterior motives?"
Su Yiran took a deep breath and looked at him with a smile, "Don't think too highly of yourself, okay?"
"Yiyi..."
"Young Master Gu, please watch your address. What if Mr. Gu hears this..."
"He won't know, Yiyi. I'm telling the truth. You have to believe me. I won't hurt you."
As Gu Chengjing spoke, he moved closer to her. She frowned and subconsciously backed away. In an instant, a force pulled her around the waist.
Su Yiran looked up following the force of the movement and met the gaze of the person who came up to her. "What a coincidence."
The large group of people followed closely behind Gu Yanli. His sudden action caused everyone present to widen their eyes in shock.
Especially Gu Chengjing.
His face turned pale. "Uncle, what brings you here?"
Gu Yanli raised an eyebrow, his cold gaze falling on Gu Chengjing. He glanced at him and asked, "Do you need me to have you thrown out?"
"No, no need..."
The moment Gu Chengjing saw Gu Yanli, he felt a chill run down his spine, his mind went blank, and he scrambled away from the scene.
"Why are you being so fierce... Since Mr. Gu has something to attend to, I won't bother you any longer."
Su Yiran smiled at Gu Yanli, then glanced at the group of people behind him. She pushed him aside, nodded to the people behind her, turned and left the hall.
Gu Yanli glanced at the display behind him, then turned and chased after them.
"I heard you didn't bring a driver. It's getting late, I'll have someone take you home."
Gu Yanli held her hand. "Why are you being so polite to Gu Chengjing today? Didn't you see he has ulterior motives?"
It was windy outside, so Su Yiran tightened her clothes. "In public, he wouldn't dare to eat me up, would he? I'm his aunt now, he shouldn't do anything so outrageous, right, Uncle?"
"...Don't shout!"
Gu Yanli, his face dark, slapped her forehead in annoyance. "Why have you never been so polite to Gu Chengjing before? Have you changed your ways?"
Is my ex-boyfriend's uncle going to settle scores on behalf of his nephew?
Su Yiran approached him step by step, "As expected, people related by blood are different."
"You're talking nonsense again!"
As Gu Yanli listened to her words, for a moment he really wanted to sew her mouth shut with a needle and thread to stop her from saying such nonsense and incoherent things.
"I'm not wrong."
Su Yiran met Gu Yanli's gaze and retorted, "Your nephew is always badmouthing you in front of me. As the person in charge, shouldn't you explain yourself?"
"Do you believe it?"
"letter."
"..."
They're heartless; they can't be tamed.
Aren't you curious about what he said about you?
"unimportant."
"..."
Well, they have the resources, so they can be that arrogant!
His "Buddhist" attitude surprised Su Yiran, but it was normal. He didn't take Gu Chengjing seriously at all, so what he said was naturally unimportant.
She twitched the corners of her mouth. He wasn't curious, but she insisted on saying it, half true and half false. "He said you're not right for me, that you're with me for ulterior motives, and that he wants me to leave you. He said he can help me if I need it."
"Yeah, indeed."
Gu Yanli nodded, "He has something on his mind."
"..."
Hearing his words, she pouted, looked at the crowd behind the man, and asked, "Why are you here today?"
"There's a welcome banquet."
"So it was you who hosted the welcome dinner for the researchers. I thought it was that scumbag Gu Chengjing."
She found it strange at the time. Gu Chengjing didn't have any connections, so how could he know so many researchers? But strange as it was, it was hard to say if he really had that ability.
It turns out she overestimated him.
However, since Gu Chengjing is here, he must know that Gu Yanli is also here. So, his deliberate approach to her just now was because he calculated that Gu Yanli would come down.
If Gu Yanli sees her being ambiguous with Gu Chengjing, given his previous attitude towards her and Sheng Jiahe, she won't have a good time.
Fortunately, she was careful and prevented him from succeeding.
However, Gu Chengjing is truly ruthless. If Gu Yanli gets angry with her, he will inevitably take it out on himself.
