Chapter 60 Bear With It for a Bit
After lunch, the two of them went over the documents once more before heading to LK Group.
Just as the two of them were about to leave, An Xia’s phone rang. She pulled out her phone to look at it and turned to Su Ziyue. “It’s the boss’s secretary.”
Su Ziyue did not speak; she simply picked up her glass and downed the contents in one gulp.
An Xia soon finished the phone call. “The secretary said that the boss attended a luncheon at Lumiere Jade House earlier this afternoon. It’s nearly over already, but they want us to come. By the time we get there, the luncheon should be over.”
Su Ziyue thought it over. There didn’t seem to be any problem with this so she nodded. “Let’s go then.”
…
Qin Mucheon’s luncheon ended just as the two of them arrived at Lumiere Jade House. He had reckoned that Su Ziyue and An Xia would be here soon, so he got Nan Chuan to meet them.
He had an office at Lumiere Jade House as well, but he rarely used it. However, it would be of some use today.
Nan Chuan brought Su Ziyue and An Xia to the office directly.
“Please come inside, Miss Su.” This time, he did not call her ‘Mrs. Qin’. Su Ziyue thought that it must be because of her threats last time.
This office was even more luxurious than the one at the LK Group company building, and Su Ziyue immediately caught sight of Qin Muchen when she entered.
Qin Muchen tilted his head up; he looked over Su Ziyue once before calling for some drinks.
Qin Muchen then sat down across from them. He looked a little weary, but his gaze could still instill fear. “Have you brought all the documents?”
“Yes, they’re all here.” An Xia hurriedly handed the papers over.
Much to their surprise, Qin Muchen reached out and pushed the documents back; he then looked up to gaze at Su Ziyue, his expression one of serious business. “You two were the ones who organized the papers? Have you checked them over?”
“Of course.” Su Ziyue thought that his questions were unnecessary.
Qin Muchen did not say anything else as he directly drew a contract out from his own pile of papers and placed it before Su Ziyue. “If you think there is nothing wrong with this contract, let us sign it.”
Su Ziyue’s expression shifted subtly and confusion flashed across her eyes. However, she did not say anything; she simply took the contract and studied it carefully.
Perhaps it was a tad warmer today, but she felt a little hot after she had checked the contract. Despite that, she did not pay any mind to it.
The contents of the contract were very detailed, and the division of profits was written very clearly; it was practically the same as whatever Su Youcheng had shown her before. Such a contract couldn’t be put together in a short amount of time.
In other words, Qin Muchen had long since wanted to work with Su Group. However, he still had to put on a huge show of looking for Su Youcheng and specifying her to be the one to handle the contract negotiations. She did not think that he was doing this just so she could take back her father’s shares.
“This contract is fine.”
Su Ziyue kicked those thoughts in her mind away; she should focus on signing the contract now.
“If there’s no problem, please sign this copy.” As Qin Muchen spoke, he reached out and signed his name on it while stamping it with his personal seal.
Su Ziyue took a look at this contract and realized that it was all in English. She was halfway through signing it when she felt that something was not right with her. She was very familiar with this sensation; Su Yige had taught her this feeling when she just returned to this country.
Su Ziyue’s complexion deteriorated. Her hand began to tremble while clutching the pen, and a fine sheen of sweat beaded across her forehead.
Qin Muchen was attentive, so he quickly noticed Su Ziyue’s discomfort. Seeing how Su Ziyue gritted her teeth and continued to sign the paper, Qin Muchen merely raised an eyebrow but did not speak. When the signing was over, Su Ziyue’s forehead was already drenched in sweat.
An Xia couldn’t help but ask, “Ziyue, why are you sweating so much? Are you sick?”
Qin Muchen’s gaze fell upon Su Ziyue’s reddening lips. He then turned to say to An Xia, “Leave first.”
Su Ziyue reflexively grabbed An Xia’s arm.
“I…” An Xia hesitated, remaining where she was.
Qin Muchen had already gotten up and walked over to pull Su Ziyue up. He brought her over to the other side of the office, half-holding her.
“Z-Ziyue…” An Xia wasn’t sure whether she should follow or she should stay. After some thought, she decided to follow them.
Qin Muchen kicked open the door to the lounge and brought Su Ziyue inside. Su Ziyue currently still had most of her wits with her; she knew that Qin Muchen was the one holding her. “Qin Muchen, what are you planning this time?”
Qin Muchen did not speak and simply tossed her into the bathroom. While his actions seemed rough, Su Ziyue did not feel any pain.
Qin Muchen turned the shower on and a cold spray of water splattered densely over Su Ziyue’s body.
“You…”
Qin Muchen’s voice was as pleasing as ever. “Bear with it for a bit.”
Su Ziyue suddenly recalled the first time she met Qin Muchen; he had also been like this back then, all cold and mysterious. He was different from everyone else, but he was still the one who drew the most attention.
Su Ziyue’s mind cooled completely from the cold water, and the burning feeling she had inside gradually disappeared.
When An Xia came in and saw this, realization struck her, and she quietly slunk back.
“That’s enough.” Su Ziyue got up and turned the shower off. She pursed her lips together, unsure of what to say.
When Qin Muchen dragged her inside, she had thought that he was going to…
Qin Muchen turned to look for a towel. He handed it to her, his gaze contemplative and calm. “Dry yourself. I’ll get someone to buy some clothes for you.”
“Thank you.” Su Ziyue took the towel and began to wipe the water off herself.
Just then, Qin Muchen’s phone rang; it was the personal phone that only three people knew the phone number of. He pulled it out to see a number he did not recognize, frowning slightly before accepting the call.
The caller was clearly using a voice changer as the voice was abnormally rough and robotic. “Mr. Qin, your wife is currently having a tryst with someone at Lumiere Jade House. If you want to see what kind of person Su Ziyue truly is, then please hurry over now,” the caller simply said this and then the call cut off.
Qin Muchen stared at the number on his phone for a moment with an indiscernible look on his face before putting the phone away. He then turned to look at Su Ziyue; her face was the only visible part of her with the towel wrapped around her entire body. He spoke up nonchalantly, “Your cousin again?”
“Probably.” Su Ziyue thought, and then continued, “I don’t know what she’s aiming for this time. You’re so renowned; even if something happened between you and me, what benefit can she get out of this?”
“Do you want to know what that caller said to me?”
“What did they say?”
“They said that you’re having a tryst with someone at Lumiere Jade House, and they wanted me to see who you truly are.” Qin Muchen’s tone was even. “That cousin of yours is scheming to beat you down.”
Su Yige didn’t know that Qin Muchen was the chairman of LK Group; she had thought that the chairman only got Su Ziyue to come because he had his sights set on her.
Therefore, she spiked Su Ziyue’s drink, intending for something untoward to occur during the negotiations with the chairman of LK Group before calling Qin Muchen.
No man would be able to accept their wife having relations with another man; the chairman of LK Group, who had been ‘eyeing’ her, certainly wouldn’t want used goods.
That was probably Su Yige’s plan. However, despite her best-laid plans, she didn’t account for one thing: Qin Muchen was the chairman of LK Group.
