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

Chapter 5 Deliberately making things difficult

Su Li knew that Gu Xinyu was deliberately making things difficult for her.

She had been learning piano since she was a child, but since she was taken back to the Su family, she has never touched the piano again.

All eyes around were focused on Su Li, with curiosity, anticipation, and some gloating.

Su Li took a deep breath and was about to refuse, but she heard Gu Xinyu continue, "Why? Sister, are you unwilling? Or, you can't play the piano at all, and you were just pretending before?"

Su Li's face suddenly turned pale. She knew that if she didn't fight back today, she would become a laughing stock and her status in the Gu family would plummet.

Just then, a waiter passed by with drinks. Su Li pretended to be careless and bumped into the waiter, spilling the drinks all over Gu Xinyu.

"Ah!" Gu Xinyu screamed, and her face suddenly became extremely ugly.

Su Li quickly apologized: "I'm sorry, Second Miss, I didn't mean it."

Gu Xinyu was furious, but she couldn't show it, so she could only suppress her anger and turn away.

Su Li looked at Gu Xinyu's departing back, a sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth. She would not sit there and wait to die and be slaughtered.

He then sat down and played a simple but difficult piece of music, which made the whole audience excited. Everyone was surprised that Su Li was not as clueless as the rumors said.

Gu Jinyan stood in the corner, looking at the woman who looked like a little hedgehog, with a smile on his face.

Wow, this woman is something.

After the banquet, Su Li returned to the room and dialed an unfamiliar number.

"Hello, who is this?" A deep male voice came from the other end of the phone.

"I need your help." Su Li's voice was firm and resolute.

"I can help you, but you have to pay the corresponding price."

"As long as I can get revenge, I can pay any price."

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a moment, and then a chuckle came: "Very good, we will see each other again soon."

Su Li hung up the phone, with a complicated look in her eyes.

She knew that she had embarked on a path of no return, but she had no way out.

For several days after the banquet, Su Li lived in a strange calm.

Gu Xinyu never bothered her again, and no one in the Gu family seemed to mention the fact that she "accidentally" spilled wine on Gu Xinyu.

That day, Su Li received an unsigned package containing a document and a note.

There was only one line of beautiful handwriting on the note: If you want to protect yourself, do as I say.

Su Li opened the file and his expression became more and more solemn the more he looked at it.

The document records some unknown secrets of the Su family over the years, and even contains evidence of Su's father transferring assets and cooking the books.

If this information were exposed, the Su family would be completely ruined.

Su Li was extremely confused. She didn't know who gave her the document, nor did she know what the other party's purpose was.

But one thing is clear, the other party wants to use her to deal with the Su family.

Su Li tightly grasped the document, a trace of determination flashing in her eyes. Since the Su family wanted to kill her, don't blame her for being rude.

That night, Gu Jinyan came back very late. Su Li waited for him until late at night before she heard familiar footsteps outside the door.

She quickly stood up and wanted to help Gu Jinyan take off his coat, but Gu Jinyan dodged her without making a sound.

"Why aren't you asleep yet?" Gu Jinyan's voice contained no emotion. He walked straight to the sofa and sat down. He untied his tie with his slender fingers, revealing his sexy Adam's apple.

"Waiting for you." Su Li suppressed the uneasiness in her heart and handed him a cup of warm water. "Are you working late today?"

"Yeah." Gu Jinyan took the cup of water but didn't drink it. He just stared at Su Li with deep eyes, "Where did you go today?"

Su Li's heart tightened, and she pretended to be calm and answered, "I didn't go anywhere, I was just taking a walk in the garden."

"Take a walk?" Gu Jinyan sneered and threw the file bag in his hand onto the table. "Do I need to remind you not to get in touch with those messy people?"

Su Li's face turned pale instantly. She didn't expect that Gu Jinyan already knew that she was in contact with others.

"You investigated me?" Su Li's voice trembled slightly.

Gu Jinyan stood up, walked in front of Su Li, looked down at her, his eyes full of disappointment and anger, "Su Li, what do you want to do?"

Su Li bit her lip and said nothing.

She didn't know how to explain. Should she tell him that the Su family was forcing her into a desperate situation and that was why she had to seek help?

"You won't say anything, right?" Gu Jinyan looked at her stubborn appearance, and his anger grew even stronger. "Su Li, I really can't see through you any more."

After saying that, Gu Jinyan left the room without looking back, leaving Su Li standing there alone, tears silently falling.

She knew that an insurmountable gap had appeared between her and Gu Jinyan.

And she has no way out.

After Gu Jinyan left, Su Li could no longer hold back the grievance in her heart and burst into tears.

She fell weakly on the soft carpet, Gu Jinyan's disappointed eyes and cold words echoing in her mind.

She knew that in Gu Jinyan's heart, she was just a woman who was full of lies and would do anything to achieve her goals.

After a sleepless night, Su Li ate breakfast mechanically with red and swollen eyes and a heavy heart.

The servants came and went, but no one gave her a concerned look, as if she was just a transparent person, an insignificant existence.

"Madam, you don't look well. Do you want to ask a doctor to come and take a look?" A young servant asked timidly with a hint of worry in her tone.

Su Li looked up at her. This servant was new and had not yet been assimilated by the Gu family's cold atmosphere. She still retained a rare trace of kindness.

"I'm fine, thank you." Su Li forced a smile, but it was uglier than crying.

The young servant wanted to say something else, but an older servant pulled him back and scolded him in a low voice: "Stop talking so much and do your job!"

The young servant grumbled a few words in dissatisfaction, but dared not say anything else and retreated silently.

Su Li looked at this scene with mixed feelings.

In the Gu family, she was like a canary imprisoned in a golden cage. Although she seemed to have fine clothes and delicious food, she actually had no freedom at all.

And she is not even as good as a canary. At least a canary can use its singing to win the favor of its owner, but she can only be like a puppet, at the mercy of others.

"Madam, the master and the second young lady are here." A servant walked up to Su Li and reported respectfully.

Su Li's heart trembled. The arrival of Su's father and the second daughter of the Gu family undoubtedly made her already chaotic life worse.

She took a deep breath, trying to look calmer, then stood up and walked towards the living room.

"Lili, are you okay? Dad heard that you had a fight with Jin Yan yesterday, so I came to see you." As soon as Father Su saw Su Li, he showed a fatherly smile and asked with concern.

Su Li looked at the hypocritical man in front of her and sneered in her heart.

He was not concerned about her at all. He was obviously worried that she would leak the Su family's secrets, so he came here to find out the truth.

"I'm fine, don't worry, Dad." Su Li replied indifferently, with a distant tone.

"It's good that you're okay, it's good that you're okay." Father Su smiled awkwardly, turned to look at the second daughter of the Gu family who was sitting next to him, and said, "Xinyu, you should also persuade Lili. Husbands and wives should quarrel at the head of the bed and make up at the foot of the bed. It's better to talk it out if there is anything wrong."

Gu Xinyu elegantly picked up the teacup, took a sip, and then slowly said, "Sister, I know you feel uncomfortable, but you can't quarrel with Brother Jin Yan because of this. Brother Jin Yan..."
