Dominant Marriage: The CEO's Overbearing Love

Chapter 282 - 260 Little Uncle’s Girlfriend

Gu Qimiao forced a bitter smile. If the problem could be solved so easily, she wouldn’t have been troubled for so long. She didn’t want to live this way with him either.Xiaoxiao pulled her aside and said, "By the way, Gigi, did you hear about Lu Qianwen?"

Gu Qimiao frowned slightly, looking at Xiaoxiao in confusion. What happened to Lu Qianwen? The last time she saw her was when she was almost framed by her.

Peeling an orange, Xiaoxiao said, "She committed suicide. I don’t know the reason, but the news suddenly came out like that."

Gu Qimiao still couldn’t believe it, "Suicide?"

"Yes, it’s been several days. You didn’t know? The funeral has already been held, and it was quite grand."

Gu Qimiao was puzzled. She seemed quite proud the last time they met. How could something like this happen all of a sudden?

Seeing her confusion, Xiaoxiao whispered in her ear, "I heard that she was raped and couldn’t accept reality, so she committed suicide."

Hearing this, Gu Qimiao suddenly thought of that day. Wasn’t that the method she had planned to use on her? If she couldn’t even accept it herself, why would she impose it on others?

Instinctively, she glanced around the room but didn’t see Liang Zixuan. Could it be that Shen Yanchen did something that day?

"Where is... Liang Zixuan?"

Xiaoxiao looked around, "No idea, I haven’t seen her since I came back. Maybe she’s with my second brother."

Just as she was speaking, they saw Shen Yiran’s car pull up outside, but only he got out.

Gu Qimiao’s attention was constantly on Shen Yanchen. She kept glancing at him, but he never looked back at her, sitting on the other side chatting with someone who seemed to be an elder.

Just before mealtime, Shen Yi’an and Su Yan arrived downstairs. But what grabbed everyone’s attention wasn’t them, but another woman getting out of the car.

She looked familiar, probably the famous actress Xu Leya, who had won many awards and was well-regarded in the entertainment industry.

Xu Leya was holding Su Yan’s arm, looking like a perfect couple. Shen Yiran walked in alone behind them, frowning and talking on the phone as if he was unhappy about something.

The first thought Gu Qimiao had upon seeing this scene was that it was quite a pity. After all, in the past, seeing Su Yan and An’an, they were always so intimate, and on-screen, they were the best couple. Fans generally thought they were a real couple, but no one had ever confirmed it.

Suddenly seeing Su Yan bring another woman back made everything feel somewhat off, like something was suddenly missing.

Grandma seemed very happy to see Su Yan bring his girlfriend back and eagerly invited Xu Leya inside.

To Su Yan, this place was home. Shen Dad and Shen Mom never saw him as an outsider either. Shen Mom treated Xu Leya as if she were her own daughter-in-law, warmly welcoming her.

Su Yan just stood beside Xu Leya, elegant and calm, unhurried and unflustered, yet he shot a subtle glance at Shen Yi’an when no one was looking.

Watching her hang up the phone in frustration, kick off her high heels, and walk into the house barefoot without even bothering to find slippers, he couldn’t help but frown.

If it were before, he would have scolded her. But this time, he didn’t bother, or rather, he hadn’t cared about her much recently.

She seemed to notice his change too and had somewhat distanced herself from him.

Shen Yi’an walked in, headed straight for Gu Qimiao and Xiaoxiao, grabbed a bunch of grapes, and started complaining, "It’s almost the New Year, and they still gave me so many assignments. I’ve already told them to push them off, but they keep piling up!"

Xiaoxiao comforted her, "It’s because you’re famous. It’s a good thing. Besides, haven’t you rarely spent New Year at home before?"

Shen Yi’an fell silent, glancing toward Su Yan’s direction. Most of the elders were around him and that woman, and it made her feel suffocated.

In previous years, she would film with Su Yan, and it always felt fine. But this year, she did all the assignments alone, and there was no cooperation with Su Yan anymore.

He was being sweet with his "little wife," leaving her to rush through her assignments alone, and it made her unhappy no matter how she thought about it.

Xiaoxiao poked fun, "Isn’t that Xu Leya? Little Uncle’s girlfriend?"

An’an nodded, "They’re always together, so annoying to watch!"

Gu Qimiao couldn’t help but laugh, thinking, wasn’t An’an always clinging to Su Yan before? It seemed like An’an was a bit jealous now.

Thinking about the fact that they were relatives, Gu Qimiao figured it might be her imagination.

Once everyone was there, they started to have dinner. Gu Qimiao had been worried about how to face Shen Yanchen, as they hadn’t seen each other in a long time and hadn’t exchanged a word. It felt awkward.

Later, she found that she was overthinking. He didn’t care about her at all, sitting with the elders, while she, Xiaoxiao, and An’an sat in a corner, talking about their own things.

With a new member in the family, naturally, the topic centered around Xu Leya. Grandma said, "I’ve watched the show you starred in. My daughter-in-law and I were waiting for each episode every day!"

Xu Leya politely smiled, looking quite modest, but An’an interrupted discontentedly, "Grandma, why don’t you watch the shows I’ve acted in?"

Grandma said, "Little girl, you’re really trying to compete! I watch every show you’re in, haven’t missed any!"

An’an felt a bit more satisfied after hearing this. While peeling a big shrimp, she looked at Shen Yiran and asked, "Where’s Dudu? Why didn’t he come today?"

Shen Yiran glanced at her but didn’t respond. Eventually, everyone’s gaze followed Shen Yi’an to him.

It seemed like asking about Dudu was naturally his responsibility.

However, since leaving the hospital last time, he hadn’t gone to see her again, and Dudu hadn’t come looking for him either, as if they had completely cut ties.

Since Shen Yiran didn’t answer, Shen Mom said, "A few days ago, her mom mentioned that Dudu is getting married over the New Year. She’s probably with her boyfriend."

Xiaoxiao was the first to react, "Dudu is getting married?!"

In her memory, Dudu wouldn’t marry anyone but her second brother. Everyone knew this. How could she suddenly be marrying someone else?

The last time they met at Shen Yiran’s place, she said she was thinking of ways to make things work.

What happened during her time in the hospital?

Shen Yiran seemed to have just learned this news too. Although he met her so-called fiancé last time, hearing the definite news blocked his heart.
