After Annuling, I Married The Scumbag's Brother

Li Zhou accepted the mission and was full of motivation.

Then, he searched for Jian Yan in the venue.

At this moment, Jian Yan was using cold water to splash her face in the washroom, trying to make the blush on her face disappear quickly.

After a while, Jian Yan looked at herself in the mirror. Her face was no longer red, but her lips were still swollen. She was furious.

‘Well, I’d better return to France soon.’

Fu Li had turned from a gentleman to a gangster. If she continued to stay here, not only would the three children be taken back to the Fu family, but so would she!

With this thought in mind, Jian Yan walked out of the washroom but bumped into Fu Yuan, who was coming out of the smoking lounge at the same time.

Fu Yuan frowned. There was a faint smell of cigarette smoke on him.

After seeing Jian Yan being pulled away by Fu Li, he had felt very unhappy and had left Jian Wan to smoke.

When he dated Jian Yan, he had never touched cigarettes because Jian Yan didn’t like the smell of cigarettes.

However, Jian Wan never cared about this. After he confirmed his relationship with her, he had begun to smoke again. He didn’t smoke often and would only do so when he was frustrated.

“Yanyan?”

Fu Yuan was surprised.

Jian Yan ignored him and continued walking forward.

Fu Yuan did not give up. He chased after her and said anxiously, “Yanyan, where have you been these past few years? How have you been?”

“You might not believe me but I’ve always been thinking about you. I was in the wrong back then. I regret hurting you. I don’t mind you being with someone else. After all, I have a fiancée now and she is still your sister. But I don’t want you to be with my brother. He is not a good match for you.”

No matter what, he did not want to see Fu Li and Jian Yan get married.

If Jian Yan were to find a normal, mediocre man, he would quickly forget about her. But if Jian Yan became the mistress of the Fu family, he would never be able to forget her.

Jian Yan did not know that Fu Yuan had such a fragile ego.

Because of Fu Yuan’s betrayal, he was now one of the people she hated the most after her father. Hence, she ignored him.

However, Fu Yuan refused to give up and continued to persuade her. “Do you know that my brother has an illegitimate child?”

“He has a child with the Movie Queen, Hua Ying. Even if my brother marries you, it will be a tough job to take care of someone else’s child. It’s not easy being a stepmother. Don’t you remember how much you hated Wan’er’s mother?”

Jian Yan’s defense was broken.

“I hated her mother because she was a mistress, not because she was a stepmother!”

“Don’t worry. I won’t become someone’s stepmother. You don’t have to worry about me and your brother. You should get married to Jian Wan as soon as possible. Don’t worry about me. I think it’s disgusting even if you don’t.”

“What stepmother?”

At this moment, a voice was heard along with a familiar figure.

Fu Li appeared in front of them.

He was dressed elegantly and had an elegant disposition. No one would be able to tell that he had acted impulsively in the room just now.

“Brother…” Fu Yuan looked awkward because he had been talking about the latter behind his back.

Jian Yan turned around and left.

Fu Li said, “Yanyan, don’t worry. I don’t have any other woman besides you.”

This was the last sentence Jian Yan heard before she entered the banquet hall.

After she left, Fu Li looked at Fu Yuan unhappily.

“You very well know that Fang Ze was Fang Wang’s son. Why did you tell Yanyan that?”

Calling out the name “Yanyan” in front of Fu Yuan made Fu Li feel as if he had completely replaced the mark that Fu Yuan had left in Jian Yan’s life.

He made up his mind to call her that in front of his stupid brother.

It was an affectionate term.

Fu Yuan naturally felt uncomfortable with this nickname, but he did not dare to express it. After all, he had lied behind his back about his elder brother.

“Brother, I said that to prevent Jian Yan from falling into a trap. She’s really innocent. It won’t be good if she falls for it.”

Fu Li’s expression turned cold. “I hope she does.”

“Now that you mention it, I finally understand why she didn’t take my sincere words to heart.”

“It’s because you’ve deceived her throughout her entire youth, making her afraid to give up her heart.”

After saying this, he walked into the banquet hall.

Fu Yuan was dumbfounded.

He remembered what he had said to Jian Yan. He couldn’t rebut his brother.

He had no clue what his brother had told Jian Yan.

However, he was certain that Jian Yan did not believe his brother exactly because he had lied to her in the past.

“Brother Yuan, why are you in a daze outside the smoking lounge? Aren’t you coming over to accompany me?”
