Chapter 74 Does It Eat Beef?
Su Yuanming still remembered Su Ziyue as how she was four years ago. Until now, he could still vividly remember what had taken place on that fateful day—Su Ziyue was kneeling in the courtyard of the Su Residence, begging Su Youcheng to believe her that she did not fool around with guys and she did not have an abortion.
Yet, it had been hard for Su Youcheng to believe her because of the concrete evidence. Therefore, he tossed a credit card on the ground to her before having someone escort her to the airport.
In Su Yuanming’s memory, Su Ziyue was still the silly little girl who could be manipulated easily and would bear all sufferings without complaint.
However, not only did she reject his request, she even managed to spin his words to make her rejection sound excusable.
Seeing that Su Yuanming was keeping mum, Su Ziyue pressed on, “What do you think, General Manager?”
It went without saying that Su Yuanming would not allow her to talk herself out of it so easily. “Ziyue, you don’t have to address me so formally when no one else is here. Just call me Uncle Yuanming.”
“I’m sorry but I can’t concur with you on that point, General Manager. Since we’re in the office, we should do everything formally. If you have no other instructions for me, I’m going to get back to work.”
With that, Su Ziyue rose to her feet to leave.
They were really treating her like a fool.
In fact, she had long been estranged from Su Youcheng.
Seeing that she was about to walk out of his office, Su Yuanming quickly called out to stop her from going, “Ziyue!”
“General Manager, I’m afraid I really have to get back to work now. Everyone in the company knows about the agreement I signed with LK and all eyes are on me right now. If I don’t achieve something, I’ll bring disgrace to the Su family! So, I’ll work hard for it.”
Without giving Su Yuanming another chance to speak, she turned around and left.
After returning to her office, she downed a huge glass of water, but it did nothing much to alleviate her anger.
Finally, it was time to clock off.
And she saw the need to give Su Youcheng a visit.
Since she knew the location of the private hospital which was preferred by the Su family, all she needed to do was ask the receptionists there some questions to find out where to find Su Youcheng.
…
Nan Chuan received a call from Qin Muchen right after he left Lumiere Jade House.
Qin Muchen’s emotionless voice came from the other end, “Have you got it done?”
Although he felt guilty, he decided to be honest with him. “I’m just about to attend to it.”
“Come to the office first then. We’ll go together.” With that, Qin Muchen hung up on him.
Holding the phone in his hands, Nan Chuan was befuddled. What exactly had inspired his boss to get a pet dog?
After ending the call with Nan Chuan, Qin Muchen then spent some time reading documents and making calls to arrange tomorrow’s meeting before grabbing his jacket and making his way to the lobby.
Having estimated his time perfectly, Nan Chuan had just pulled over by the entrance of the office tower when he reached the lobby.
After Qin Muchen had abandoned the Rolls-Royce to Nan Chuan last time, Nan Chuan had been keeping the car nicely in his garage because he was worried that the car would be mercilessly smashed by his boss if the sight of it annoyed him.
Therefore, he was driving a Bentley now.
“I’ve made an appointment with the owner of a pet shop to look at the dogs. If you’re going there yourself, you can make your own decision.”
Nan Chuan noticed that his boss’s temperament had been changing every day ever since he returned to the country,
Now, he actually wanted to raise a dog as a pet!
He had no idea what Miss Su had done to his boss.
After getting into the car, Qin Muchen closed his eyes to take a break without bothering Nan Chuan.
Fortunately, Nan Chuan had long gotten used to it.
Once Qin Muchen stepped into the pet shop, it was obvious from the frown on his forehead that he was not accustomed to the sight of pets.
Nan Chuan was sensitive enough to notice his discomfort. “Mr. Qin, why don’t you just let me pick one for you? I’m sure you’ll find it adorable as you spend more time with it,” he suggested.
“No, I can do it myself,” Qin Muchen rejected him in a deep voice before making his way deeper into the shop.
The owner of the pet shop only knew Nan Chuan but not Qin Muchen. Therefore, he greeted Nan Chuan as soon as he saw him, “Mr. Nan.”
“I brought my friend here to have a look at the dogs.” Being vigilant, Nan Chuan did not address Qin Muchen in his usual way in the presence of the owner.
Nan Chuan was known by many citizens of Yunzhou City as he had always been seen as the person in charge of Lumiere Jade House, which was frequented by many.
“Okay, please come in.” The owner invited them in before asking Qin Muchen, “Sir, what kind of pet dog do you want? What species are you interested in? The dogs I have here are all purebreds.”
Qin Muchen looked up at the owner and answered, “I want one that looks beautiful.”
The eyes of the owner brightened with enthusiasm at once as he exclaimed, “That will be an Afghan Hound! It’s gorgeous and has an elegant and distinguished air! The one I have here is a purebred!”
Then, the owner took him to a cage and pointed at an Afghan Hound puppy inside. “This is the one.”
Qin Muchen cringed as soon as he saw the puppy with watery eyes. “I want one which is bad-tempered and smart.”
The owner was speechless.
He had no choice but to point at a Bull Terrier.
Still, Qin Muchen frowned and commented, “It’s too ugly.”
The description specified by his boss sounded more and more familiar to Nan Chuan, who had been following behind his boss throughout the process.
Pretty, bad-tempered and smart…
Was he mistaken? He had a feeling that his boss was actually referring to Miss Su.
The owner then introduced several dogs to Qin Muchen, but his suggestions were all rejected.
At last, Qin Muchen decided to step inside to look for the one he wanted himself. Then, he stopped in front of a black and white puppy.
Other than its limbs, neck and mouth, the rest of its body was black.
The puppy stared at him with its black sparkling eyes for one second before looking away indifferently.
Qin Muchen raised an eyebrow and announced, “I’d like this one.”
The owner quickly walked over and chuckled when he saw Qin Muchen pointing at a Border Collie. “The Border Collie is the smartest species of all dogs.”
“Okay,” Qin Muchen acknowledged what he said. Then, something struck him suddenly which made him turn around to face the owner. “Does it eat beef?”
“Dogs are carnivores, so they do eat beef.”
“That’s great.”
Then, Qin Muchen turned around and walked out of the pet shop, followed by Nan Chuan who paid for the dog before bringing it back.
…
Su Ziyue was stuck in a traffic jam along her journey to the hospital.
It was hard to avoid the congestion because it was peak hour.
Su Ziyue could feel herself slowly losing patience, seeing the cars in front of her moving at a snail’s pace.
Absent-mindedly, she turned to look at the view outside the window and caught sight of a familiar face through the window of a black car driving along the other lane.
It was Qin Muchen.
Thinking about what An Xia had said yesterday, she hastily looked away, feeling somewhat restless.
In fact, Qin Muchen had already noticed her car from somewhere even further than where he was now. He decided to close the window so that through the laminated glass, he could still see Su Ziyue but she could not see him from the outside.
As their cars were not very far apart from each other, he could vaguely see the impatience on her face.
She was bad-tempered, just like the dog he had just purchased.
Su Ziyue only noticed Qin Muchen when she randomly turned to look at the view outside, and she realized that he had actually closed the window right after he saw her!
Was he trying to show that she was not the only girl in the world he was interested in?
Women were merely lying to themselves because there were few men who were loyal and faithful in love.
With her lips pursed, the impatience on her face was replaced by disappointment.
As the cars finally started moving, she stepped on the accelerator and drove forward.
Slowly, Qin Muchen opened the car window and glanced in the direction in which Su Ziyue drove.The road she took seemed to be the way to the hospital.
Was she sick?
