Chapter 34 You Don’t Even Care About Your Father?
Qin Muchen then kept his phone back into his pocket in front of everyone. During the entire process, his expressions did not change at all; he seemed rather resolute and confident.
Although Su Youcheng had been in the business world for quite some time and had been through countless situations, he was still nervous at this moment. Qin Muchen wouldn’t really have anyone influential under his sleeves, right?
When Su Ziyue saw his unworried look, she asked softly, “Were you calling that friend of yours?”
Qin Muchen lowered his head and looked at her. A faint smile appeared in his gaze as he slid her hair back that was covering her forehead. “Yes.”
“I’m sorry, you don’t actually have to bring your friend into this mess.” This was the first time in such a long time that Su Ziyue felt guilty toward Qin Muchen.
Despite being surrounded, the couple talked to each other like there was nobody around them; they were not worried about what was going to happen at all.
Fuming, Su Youcheng said to Su Ziyue, “Ziyue, I’m giving you one last chance. If you come now, you’re still the second young mistress of the Su Family. I will give you the shares which your father had left for you.”
Ridicule flashed past Su Ziyue’s eyes. Did Su Youcheng really think that everyone was like him—thinking that influence and status were the most important?
“I don’t want it.” When Su Ziyue answered him, she felt elated. Living at the Su Residence all these years had been too oppressing.
“You…” Su Youcheng pointed at her. After quite some time, he finally voiced out, “You don’t even care about your father anymore?”
Stunned, Su Ziyue trembled all over.
When Su Youcheng noticed her behavior, he knew that he had found her Kryptonite. Hence, he continued, “If you listen to me, I will tell you the prison in which your father is located, the number of years he has been sentenced to, and when he will be released.”
In Su Ziyue’s vague childhood memories, the only thing that was worth reminiscing and meaningful was her father. Her father was her Kryptonite.
Balling her fists, Su Ziyue lifted her head to look at Qin Muchen. “You…” The words ‘let’s go’ just refused to fall out her mouth. Nonetheless, Qin Muchen understood what she was insinuating.
She could give up on the shares, but she really wanted to know which prison her father was locked up in, and how many more years would he be in prison before he was released; she really missed him dearly.
Her thirst for fatherly love had exceeded her love for Qin Muchen, for her father was the most important thing to her.
Su Ziyue bit her lips and lowered her eyes. She raised her arms, wanting to break away from his grip. However, Qin Muchen, who was extremely strong, had a tight grip of her. His deep gaze was like an abyss that was ten thousand miles deep. “Su Ziyue, if you dare let go of my hand, try me!”
“My father is still very important to me. Very important…” She repeated the words ‘very important’, telling Qin Muchen why she had to leave him.
“What if I can help you?” Qin Muchen’s voice was close beside her ears. “If I can help you find out which prison your father is locked up in…”
Su Ziyue’s eyes widened as she looked at him; her eyes were filled with disbelief.
“You managed to find me and marry me before this; you also had the courage to leave the rest of your life in my hands. You can still trust me now.” Qin Muchen’s voice sounded uncertain.
A hint of confusion flashed past Su Ziyue’s eyes. Do I really trust him?
When Su Youcheng saw that the situation was turning unfavorable, he quickly said, “Ziyue, you’ve always been a smart kid since you were little. Are you really going to believe a poor kid who has nothing?”
Su Ziyue took a look at Su Youcheng and smiled. “Compared to you, I’m more willing to trust him.” Indeed, she was more willing to trust Qin Muchen than to trust Su Youcheng.
At this moment, there was a siren outside of the main door.
Su Youcheng’s expression changed abruptly. He turned his head to look at Qin Muchen out of disbelief. He had greeted him, but why did he still…
Su Ziyue was slightly shocked too.
The Gong Family, the Mu Family and the Su Family were the three wealthiest families in Yunzhou City. Nobody would ever dare to offend them, but unexpectedly, Qin Muchen’s friend really went ahead and lodged a police report…
“Mr. Mu, I was wondering if I could leave now?” Qin Muchen turned his head to look at Su Youcheng. He still looked as composed as the moment he stepped into the house. It was as if he had predicted this outcome in the first place.
“Are you there, Mr. Su? We received a report that there’s a conflict here…” There were police walking in with a stern look on their faces.
“It was a misunderstanding, just a misunderstanding…” Su Youcheng put on a wide smile before walking toward the police. He then waved his hand and the bodyguards quickly dispersed.
The police looked at the bodyguards who quickly dispersed with disbelief. Then, they looked at Qin Muchen and Su Ziyue, who were standing at the utmost center of the room, looking at Su Youcheng with a distrusted look.
Qin Muchen walked up to them at this moment. Lifting his head slightly, he politely thanked the officers, “Thank you, officers. There was a small misunderstanding just now; my wife is his granddaughter. Why would he lay a finger on her? Mr. Su was very enraged just now, so I was worried that something might befall an elderly like him.”
Qin Muchen sounded dignified, yet the police still did not believe his words. But after listening to his explanation, the police immediately changed their attitude. “If that’s the case, everyone please disperse.”
Then, the policeman even turned his head to look at Qin Muchen out of good faith. “Are you going home now, Mr. Qin?’
A look of shock flashed past Su Ziyue’s eyes as she turned his head to look at Qin Muchen. How did the police know that his surname was Qin?
Qin Muchen noticed her puzzled look and explained softly, “My friends made a police report under my name.”
Su Ziyue then nodded half-heartedly.
Qin Muchen lifted his head once again and looked at Su Youcheng. As a faint glow flashed past his eyes as he held Su Ziyue’s hands before marching out.
Su Youcheng waited for everyone to leave before he started smashing everything out of fury. There shouldn’t have been any mistakes, but he did not expect the poor kid to find the police.
“Calm down, Grandpa.” Su Yige walked up to Su Youcheng and helped him sit down. She then comforted him in a soft voice, “Qin Muchen just happened to be lucky, and Ziyue will only be deceived by him for a moment. After some time, she will understand your good intentions.”
“Understand? If she understood my good intentions, why did she still leave with that poor kid? I’m only asking her to marry Mu Ninghui. How is that mistreating her?” Su Youcheng was furious again at the mention of Su Ziyue.
Su Yige patted Su Youcheng on the back to calm him down while advising him, “Then, does Qin Muchen have something up his sleeves that is not to our knowledge? If not, how can he summon the police with just a phone call?”
Su Yige had been working at the Su Group for two to three years; she had been in contact with the company’s high-ranking executives, and her instincts were telling her that Qin Muchen was not as simple as he seemed.
Su Youcheng quieted down; he rarely misjudged things throughout his life. After this incident, he also felt like Qin Muchen was not as easy as he seemed to be.
Su Youcheng then instructed her, “If that’s the case, go and look him up.”
“Sure, Grandpa. I will not let you down,” Su Yige replied politely as she patted Su Youcheng on the back, but her thoughts had long drifted afar.
A man whom she did not even lay her eyes on was treating Su Ziyue so well. Something must be up. Even if Qin Muchen really loved Su Ziyue, she also wanted to split the both of them. How could Su Ziyue possibly deserve love?
