Even though Su Ziyue said that she did not do anything with the LK Group’s Chairman after she went back to the company last time, Su Yige did not believe her story.
It wasn’t like LK Group’s Chairman had nothing better to do, so why did he appoint Su Ziyue to represent the Su Group? Su Youcheng was convinced by Su Ziyue’s story only because he wanted to avoid further trouble.
In reality, both Su Yige and Su Youcheng had the same thought in their minds; they both believed that Su Ziyue must have an unspeakable relationship with the LK Group’s Chairman.
Su Ziyue raised her brows upon hearing Su Yige’s words, wondering why every woman who disliked her told Qin Muchen that she made him a cuckold. Li Jingqi had done that, and Su Yige was doing it as well.
It was true that she had a fling with the LK Group’s Chairman, but the latter was her lawfully-wedded husband.
Qin Muchen squinted at Su Yige as he seemed to be on the verge of getting furious. Suddenly, he broke into a wide smile and replied tenderly, “As long as she is willing to stay by my side, I don’t care even if she makes me a cuckold.”
His smile looked very charming, but what he said gave Su Ziyue goosebumps.
She remembered when he gave Li Jingqi the same answer after the latter told him the same thing last time.
Su Yige’s response was similar to Li Jingqi’s. In an instant, she looked like she had no idea how she should react.
It took her a few seconds to ask, “How can you still fancy her with that conduct of hers? Are you still a man?”
A hint of disdain flashed across Qin Muchen’s face. “Why should you be concerned about me being a man or not? It’s fine as long as my Ziyue knows the answer to that question.”
My Ziyue…
Su Ziyue compressed her lips. She and Su Yige were about to come to blows at first, but the situation seemed to have headed in a weird direction with Qin Muchen’s intervention.
“You…” Su Yige blushed at Qin Muchen’s explicit remark since he looked very handsome after all.
“Get out and keep watch—don’t let anyone come in.” Su Ziyue kicked Qin Muchen on his lower leg gently as though she was merely tickling him.
Qin Muchen turned around to look at her and his eyes flickered briefly. Then, he looked back at Su Yige, but his face took on a frosty expression instead. He took out his cell phone slowly and said, “Miss Su Yige, no matter what my Ziyue is going to do to you later, please endure it silently. After all, I have a recording of your conversation with her just now.”
As soon as he finished his sentence, he turned around and left under Su Yige’s terrified gaze before thoughtfully closing the door to the emergency access.
As he stood in the corridor, he received a phone call from Nan Chuan.
He panted, “Mr. Qin, I have both the 16th floor and the 18th floor’s emergency accesses guarded, so no one can enter the 17th floor’s emergency access.”
“Alright,” replied Qin Muchen flatly, getting ready to hang up.
Unable to contain his curiosity, Nan Chuan asked cautiously, “Mr. Qin, there’s nothing in that stairwell; it might put you to some inconvenience. Would you like me to have someone send you a reclining chair or something like that?”
Qin Muchen had suddenly asked him to have both the 16th floor and the 18th floor’s emergency accesses guarded to stop anyone from entering the 17th floor, yet the former did not explain the reason behind his instruction.
He thought to himself, Mr. Qin just made it up with Miss Su and ended his celibacy very recently, so he might have not been able to restrain himself. Perhaps he will make out with her directly on the stairwell of the emergency access!
Qin Muchen responded to his question with a sneer. “I’ll find a woman for you one day so that you can try it yourself.”
Then, he hung up on Nan Chuan.
Nan Chuan looked dumbfounded. It seems like I have misunderstood Mr. Qin, he thought to himself.
…
Meanwhile, inside the stairwell, Su Yige was so frightened by what Qin Muchen had said that she felt weak all over.
Su Ziyue did not have to grip Su Yige’s neck anymore. As soon as she released her hold on Su Yige, the latter slumped to the floor.
Su Ziyue looked sideways at Su Yige icily. “Su Yige, it appears that you do know what it’s like to feel afraid as well, don’t you?”
In reality, Su Ziyue was still a little scared herself. If the person who entered just now had been someone else instead of Qin Muchen, the person would only think that she was fussing with Su Yige upon seeing the scene, and Su Yige would effectively shift the blame onto her.
Luckily, it was Qin Muchen who had arrived. Nonetheless, when on Earth did he show up? He even has the recording of our conversation, Su Ziyue thought to herself.
If Qin Muchen really had the recording, she might be able to use it as a weapon to destroy Su Yige’s reputation.
Su Yige was in a daze for a moment before she suddenly grabbed Su Ziyue and said in a quavering voice, “Ziyue, I am your elder cousin. It was me who slept with you at night when you just came back to the Su Family in your childhood. Please tell him to delete the recording…”
As the eldest daughter of the Su Family and the future young madam of the Gong Family, Su Yige was a famous socialite in Yunzhou City. Therefore, she couldn’t be accused of having injected her younger cousin with drugs. That must not happen!
If word spread out about this matter, her reputation would be finished.
“I’m begging you—you can ask me to do whatever you want as long as you ask him to delete that recording,” begged Su Yige desperately as she grabbed onto Su Ziyue tightly.
At that moment, she looked nothing like the way she should be as the eldest daughter of the Su Family. Su Ziyue found her both pathetic and detestable, but she showed no reaction; her heart was as cold as ice.
She then recalled something and said, “In that case, clear my name by calling Grandpa to tell him that you framed me for having an abortion back then. If you do that, I’ll consider asking him to delete the recording.”
Su Yige refused almost immediately and said, “That’s impossible!”
“In that case, just wait until you lose your reputation once and for all.” Su Ziyue took a step back and shook Su Yige’s hand off while staring at the latter icily.
Suddenly, Su Yige fell silent; she remained quiet for a while before standing up slowly. When she looked at Su Ziyue again, her eyes flickered as she said, “Even if I say that it was me who did it, neither Grandpa or Zeyang would believe you; everyone will never believe you anymore.”
After she finished her sentence, she reached out her hand to fix her hair before tidying up her white gown. In the blink of an eye, she turned back into the Su Family’s eldest daughter, who was as pure as a lotus flower in everyone’s eyes.
Su Ziyue was stunned for a moment; she could find no retort to what Su Yige said because the latter was right.
Even if Su Yige admitted it herself that she framed Su Ziyue for the incident back then, nobody would believe that to be the case; that was because Su Yige’s pure and fine image had struck a deep chord in people’s hearts.
Even if Su Yige admitted it herself, everyone would only be prejudiced and thought that she was forced to admit it because Su Ziyue coerced her kind and lovely elder cousin into doing it for her own sake.
It was difficult to imagine how biased people’s hearts could be.
With that, Su Ziyue suddenly lost her interest.
She often said that those incidents did not bother her anymore, but she could still hardly reconcile herself to these incidents whenever she recalled them. No innocent lady was willing to be dragged through the mud without ever complaining.
She glanced at Su Yige and calmed down. “You’d better wish that your disguise can continue to mislead everyone. Otherwise, I’ll be looking forward to seeing how badly you will fall when your disguise is stripped away one day.”
Su Yige’s expression changed when she heard Su Ziyue’s words, but she was unwilling to be outdone. She said, “I presume you understand very well that a person with a bad reputation will be tainted forever, no matter what good she has done.”
