Chapter 8 - The Price of Regret

Su Yiran felt a surge of grievances in her heart. She had never doubted that the person she had been longing to see come back had been deceiving her.

"Gu Zeyan, are you getting engaged? Why did you lie to me?"

Gu Zeyan ignored her and put his arm around his mother, brought her to the sofa and coaxed her humbly.

"Mom, mom, don't be angry. Seeing is not always believing. I know my limits!"

Mrs. Gu was comforted, her anger was vented, and her emotions gradually calmed down.

"It's good that you know the importance of this. Our family's business depends on the Mu family. If we can't get married to the Mu family, three generations of the Gu family will have worked for nothing!"

Gu Zeyan bowed his head and admitted his mistake. After a while,he rremembered Su Yiran who was standing stiffly on the ground.

"Yiran, go back first, I'll explain to you later."

He pressed the elevator door and took her into the elevator.Su Yiran went downstairs crying. She squatted on the side of the road holding her cell phone and cried for a long time, watching the passing cars and not seeing any one of them coming to pick her up.

Gu Zeyan actually drove her out.

She really regretted breaking up, and Li Chengyan would never let her suffer such grievances.The night wind blew on her burning cheeks. Su Yiran looked at the familiar number in the address book, hesitating in her heart, should she call Li Chengyan?

At this moment, she thought of her best friend's words, 'This is just a trick of the stinky man to play hardto get. The one who bows his head first will lose.'

She sat on the curb and cried for a while. Gu Zeyan still didn't come out to give her an explanation. Su Yiran finally couldn't bear the entanglement in her heart and walked into a roadside shop.

"Boss, my phone is out of battery, can I borrowyours to make a call?"

The boss lent her a cell phone, and Su Yiran entered the familiar number.

The call was connected, and Song Yuan's voice came from the other end. Su Yiran suddenly couldn't hold it anymore at that moment, and said with tears in her eyes,

"Li Chengyan , it's me. Can you come out and pick me up?"

The voice on the other end of the phone had no emotional ups and downs, sounding indifferent and distant.

"It's not convenient for me right now. Please ask Gu Zeyan to pick me up."

After saying that, Li Chengyan hung up the phone.

Su Yiran returned the phone, stunned. Did Li Chengyan really not want her anymore?

She doesn't believe it.

He was just angry because of the hurtful words she said. Su Yiran believed that he would come to beg her within three days, after all, the wedding was coming soon.

Li Chengyan hung up the phone and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, feeling that his efforts over the past three years were not worth it.

The next day was Saturday. When Li Chengyan opened his eyes, he seemed to see seven words: Seven days to the wedding!

Zhao Rui called and said that he had an appointment with Professor Tang and they would visit Professor Tang 's home in the morning.

Li Chengyan secretly put the card given by his father into the bedside table in the master bedroom, bought some gifts at the supermarket, and met Zhao Rui downstairs at Professor Tang's house.

Professor Tang has reached retirement age, but he is unwilling to retire and is still working on the front line, becoming a re-employed teacher.The old man was very dissatisfied with Li Chengyan .

"Do you still remember that you have a teacher?"

Li Chengyan scratched his brow.

"Professor, I really can't face you..."

Three years ago, Professor Tang's studio had a project that needed a technical expert, so Professor Tang approached Li Chengyan and wanted him to take over.

However, Li Chengyan refused because Su Yiran's father happened to be sick during those days, and he had to go to the hospital to accompany every day, so he was too busy to handle the task.

Later, the project of Professor Tang's studio was favored by investors and is now in the stage of preparing for listing.

He didn't dare mention those things in front of the professor.

Professor Tang snorted.

"That's good to know. I'll introduce someone to you later. I guarantee you'll be able to chat with each other!"

As they were talking, there was a knock on the door.Professor Tang went to open the door.

"Speak of the devil and he will appear. Come, let me introduce you to Mu Shiyuan, your junior fellow apprentice. He is the most satisfying student I have brought out in the past few years."

Mu Shiyuan showed delight.

"You two are the senior brothers Song Yuan and Zhao Rui that the professor often mentions? The examination system you made for the school is still in use at your University!"

Professor Tang rolled his eyes at him.

"Who mentions them often?"

They smiled at each other, and after a chat, Mu Shiyuan was very interested in the game they were currently making and looked forward to joining in.

Li Chengyan and Zhao Rui also had a certain understanding of Mu Shiyuan.

This older boy who was about to graduate was a few years younger than them. His professional level was not lower than those who had worked for two years. He had a certain talent in mathematical logic and would definitely achieve great things in the future.

The three of them exchangedcontact information.

After leaving the professor's house, Li Chengyan did not take the car with them. He wanted to walk alone.He had to figure out a way to deal with the bride problem, which was with the bride problem, which was driving him crazy.

On the other side, Su Yiran was awakened by a knock on the door.

She rubbed her sleepy eyes and went to open the door, and the people outside were her parents and younger brother.

Su Yiran's father, SuHai, got straight to the point.

"Your brother has fallen in love with a girl recently. The girl is very satisfied with him, but she asked for a dowry of 388,000 yuan plus hardware. The family is still short a little bit, so you should find a way to make up for it!"

Su Yiran suddenly woke up.

"How much do you still need?"

Wang mei felt like she was back home, picking up the fruit on the table and eating it.

"We still need 370,000 yuan for the betrothal gifts and hardware. My daughter, whether the Su family can have an heir depends on you. As a sister, you can't just ignore it!"

Su Yiran wanted to cry but had no tears. This is what you call just a little bit away?

"Mom, I don't have that much money. You know I can't even support myself with that little salary every month."

Su Hai rolled his eyes at him.

"We still have Xiao Chengyan. Go ask Xiao Chengyan for it."

Su Yiran 's face turned red with anxiety.

"Dad...I broke up with him. I have no money."

Su Yiran regretted it.

If she had not broken up with Li Chengyan , she could have directly transferred the money on his card to her brother for emergency use. If it was not enough, she could have found a way to use his credit card to withdraw some cash.

She really can't afford that much money.

"What, broke up?"

Wang mei was so angry that her voice rose severaldecibels.

"Why don't you discuss it with us beforemaking a decision? Although you won't live a rich life with Xiao Chengyan, at least he can help your brother when he needs it. No matter what, you have to find a buyer first before you divide it, right?What about your brother's betrothal money now?"

Su Hai walked around on the ground for a few circles, pointing his index finger at her.

"You are so confused! Is this house left to you?"

Su Yiran nodded and said,

"Yes."

My younger brother Su You said anxiously,

"Sister, why don't you go and ask your brother-in-law to give you a divorce? I have already agreed with him on a date to propose marriage, and you will have to pay the betrothal gift at that time. You can get married to your brother-in-law first, get the betrothal gift from him, and then file for divorce. I can just make up for it!"

Su Yiran 's mind was in a mess.

"Don't worry, let me think of a solution first."

Now Li Chengyan has blockedher and he is still angry. If she goes to him to ask for money, she will feel inferior to him in the future.

Su Yiran thought of Gu Zeyan in her mind.
