After the substitution marriage, I became the CEO's white moonlight

Gu Jinyan answered the phone and his expression gradually became solemn.

"I know, I'll go back right away."

After hanging up the phone, Gu Jinyan said to Su Li: "Sorry, something urgent happened at the company, I have to leave first."

"It's okay, go and get busy." Su Li said softly.

Gu Jinyan nodded, turned and left the garden.

Su Li looked at his departing back, feeling mixed emotions.

She didn't know why Gu Jinyan's attitude towards her suddenly changed, but she could feel that he didn't seem to completely reject her.

That evening, a black car drove into the Gu family villa. Su Li stood in front of the window, watching the figure getting out of the car, and was startled.

The person who came was Su's father.

Why did Father Su suddenly come to Gu's house? Su Li was full of doubts and uneasiness.

She hurried downstairs and saw Father Su talking with the elders of the Gu family in the living room.

Their tone seemed calm, but Su Li could sense a tense atmosphere in the air.

"Dad, why are you here?" Su Li walked to Su's father and asked softly.

Father Su glanced at her, with a complicated look in his eyes, "I came to see you and see if you are doing well in the Gu family."

"I'm fine, the Gu family treats me very well." Su Li said quickly, but she didn't dare to look into Su's father's eyes.

Father Su didn't say anything else, just patted her hands and continued talking with the elders of the Gu family.

Su Li stood aside, listening to their conversation, feeling more and more uneasy.

"We agreed at the beginning that as long as Su Li married us, our Su family would..."

"I'm already working on this matter, and there will be results soon..."

Su Li's heart was beating wildly. She vaguely guessed something, but she didn't dare to believe it, nor did she want to believe it.

Marrying in place of someone else, is all this true?

In the study, Gu Jinyan closed the document in his hand and rubbed his brows.

Since taking over the Gu Group, he has been busy with work every day and rarely has free time. Thinking of the vague gap between him and Su Li, he stood up and walked to the bookshelf, wanting to find a relaxing book to relieve his fatigue.

His eyes swept across the rows of book spines, and suddenly, a diary with an ancient style caught his attention.

The diary was sandwiched between an economics book and an English original, looking particularly out of place. Driven by curiosity, Gu Jinyan pulled out the diary.

When I opened the diary, the beautiful handwriting came into view, and there was a hint of sadness between the lines.

Gu Jinyan's eyes fell on the date, which was the text written by Su Li shortly before she married him.

"Today, my father called me to the study and told me that the Su family was facing an unprecedented crisis and only I could save the Su family..."

Su Li held the phone, her fingertips turned white, and the dim light from the phone screen reflected her pale face.

Father Su's words were like the tongue of a poisonous snake, hissing in her ears, cold and creepy.

Her mother was her only weakness, but Father Su held on to it tightly, pushing her to the edge of the cliff.

She fell weakly on the edge of the bed, tears silently falling.

Once upon a time, she was the most favored eldest daughter of the Su family, and was the apple of everyone's eye. But now, she has become a victim of family interests, and is used as a pawn by her biological father, whose fate is controlled by her.

A knock on the door interrupted Su Li's thoughts. She hurriedly wiped the tears from her face, took a deep breath, and tried to make her voice sound calm: "Come in."

The servant of the Gu family pushed the door open and came in, holding a bowl of steaming hot medicine in his hand: "Young Madam, this is the tonic soup that the master asked the kitchen to make for you. Drink it while it's hot."

Su Li took the medicine and forced a smile: "Thank you."

After the servant left, Su Li looked at the medicine in front of her, feeling mixed emotions.

Gu Jinyan, her nominal husband, always maintained a distant attitude towards her.

Although he arranged for someone to take care of her daily life, he never showed any tenderness in front of her.

In the past few days, Su Li clearly felt that Gu Jinyan's eyes had changed when he looked at her. It was a look of scrutiny, suspicion, and even a hint of disgust.

She knew that Gu Jinyan had begun to doubt her identity.

A chill rose from the soles of my feet and spread throughout my body.

Su Li understood that she was like walking on a tightrope, and if she was not careful, she would fall into the abyss.

Just then, an unsigned letter was stuffed through the crack in the door.

Su Li opened the envelope. There was only a thin piece of letter paper inside, with a line of words written in bright red font:

"Gain Gu Jinyan's trust within three days, otherwise, you will bear the consequences."

On the back of the letter paper, there was a gorgeous Lycoris radiata printed, as if mocking her helplessness and despair.

Su Li tightly grasped the letter paper, her nails digging deeply into her palms, leaving several shocking marks.

The Su family actually extended their hands to the Gu family!

Fear and anger intertwined and almost swallowed her.

She knew that the letter was just the beginning.

"Su Li, who are you?"

A deep voice sounded from behind, carrying a hint of oppression.

Su Li turned around suddenly and saw Gu Jinyan standing at the door with a deep gaze that made it impossible to tell what he was thinking.

He was holding a document in his hand. It was... the financial statement of the Su Group?

Su Li's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and she hurriedly stuffed the threatening letter under her pillow, but Gu Jinyan's sharp eyes had already seen through everything.

He walked a few steps to the bedside, picked up the thin piece of letter paper with his bony fingers, and the bright red handwriting stung his eyes.

"What is this?" Gu Jinyan's voice was cold, without a trace of warmth.

Su Li bit her lower lip, her eyes reddened, but she stubbornly refused to explain.

She knew that no matter what she said, it would only make Gu Jinyan more suspicious.

Gu Jinyan looked at the woman in front of him. There seemed to be many secrets hidden under her weak appearance.

He threw the letter on the table, his eyes fell on Su Li's pale face, and his tone was full of sarcasm: "Why? Miss Su also needs help?"

Su Li took a deep breath and tried to control her trembling voice: "I don't know what you are talking about."

Gu Jinyan didn't ask any more questions. He just looked at her deeply, turned around and left the room.

After he left, Su Li slumped down on the bed, cold sweat soaking her back.

Gu Jinyan already suspected her, and that threatening letter was undoubtedly adding insult to injury.

A few days later, Gu Xinyu, the second daughter of the Gu family, held a private banquet and invited famous ladies in the city.

As the young lady of the Gu family, Su Li was naturally among the invited guests.

The banquet hall was brightly lit, filled with elegantly dressed people, clinking glasses and the sound of laughter.

Gu Xinyu was wearing a champagne-colored dress, moving gracefully among the crowd with a decent smile on her face.

When her eyes swept over Su Li, her smile disappeared instantly, replaced by a hint of coldness.

"Sister, I heard that you learned piano before? Why don't you play a song for everyone to enjoy?" Gu Xinyu walked in front of Su Li with a gentle tone.
