Su Yige turned to look at Su Youcheng, her eyes brimming with panic. “Grandpa!”
The dissolution of marriage contracts between wealthy families could be a big or trivial matter depending on the situation.
However, regardless of whether it was a wealthy family or an ordinary family, the bride was always the one at loss if their marriage contract was cancelled.
Plus, the Su family was one of the major families in Yunzhou City. If no one from the Su family came forward to explain this matter except for Su Yige, it would mean that she was no longer being taken seriously by the Su family.
In other words, they had not broken up peacefully as she had mentioned and there was another side to the story.
“Get out!” Su Youcheng was obviously still furious. He turned around and returned to the desk, as if he didn't even want to take another glance at her again.
Meanwhile, Su Ziyue stood aside and looked at them coldly.
Su Youcheng was in fact asking Su Yige herself to find a remedy for the situation when he said that the Su family would not come forward to help her.
Although he did not know why Su Yige agreed to dissolve the marriage contract, it was obvious from Su Yige's expression that something terrible must have happened.
Su Ziyue then glanced at Su Yige before turning to look at Su Youcheng and said obediently, “Grandpa, if that’s all you have to say to me, I will leave first. I still have a lot of work to do.”
“Leave then! Leave now!” Su Youcheng waved his hand impatiently.
Then, Su Ziyue turned around and left.
Su Yige also knew that Su Youcheng was in a bad mood now, so it was evident that he would not listen to whatever she was going to say. Thus, she went out after Su Ziyue.
…
After Su Ziyue returned to the office, Su Yige caught up with her and went in as well.
“What’s up?” Su Ziyue glanced back at her while taking off her jacket before sitting down at her desk.
After Su Yige locked the door, she walked to Su Ziyue and said, “You must be very proud of yourself now, eh?!”
“Why would I be?” Su Ziyue blinked innocently.
Then, she casually reached out and flipped through the documents in front of her. “You have been a project director before too so I’m sure you know that I’m quite busy with work, which is why I don’t want to waste time on these unnecessary emotions.”
As she spoke, Su Yige's expression darkened at a speed visible to the naked eye.
“So, why are you here? If you have something to tell me, just say it now. If not, I’m going to continue working. I’m extra busy at the end of the year.”
Su Ziyue spoke while flipping through the documents before looking up at Su Yige.
Su Yige had always been good at controlling her emotions. Although she was furious, she managed to suppress the anger inside her when she thought of her goal.
Something flickered in Su Yige’s eyes as she took two deep breaths and calmed herself down before walking up to Su Ziyue and holding down the document she was flipping through. “Let’s make a deal.”
Su Ziyue looked at the hand on her file and fell silent for a moment before looking up at her. “Are you sure that you even have anything I want?”
Su Ziyue sneered disapprovingly.
However, Su Yige was not infuriated by her reaction at all. “If you help me, I will tell you where your father is currently being locked up.”
Thud!
The pen in Su Ziyue's hand fell to the ground. Then, she raised her head abruptly to look at Su Yige; the shock and ecstasy on her face was so intense that they could not be concealed.
But soon, the shock and ecstacy turned into suspicion.
Su Yige clearly saw the expression on her face, and a victorious look flashed in her eyes. “You just need to tell me your answer.”
Su Ziyue looked at the confident Su Yige and gradually calmed down before asking her aloud, “Do you really think that I will still believe you and make a deal with you after all that you’ve done to me?”
Su Yige had always butted heads with Su Ziyue. Although they were arch nemesis, she felt that she knew Su Ziyue well.
Su Yige knew how desperately Su Ziyue wanted to find her father.
Therefore, when she saw Su Ziyue again, she suddenly thought of this idea.
She had expected Su Ziyue to agree for sure, but to her surprise, Su Ziyue did not believe her at all.
This was the only way Su Yige could think of right now. Zeyang was determined to dissolve their marriage contract and he knew that she had taken drugs before. If she did not agree, he would expose her.
She didn't want her whole life to be ruined just like this.
If it was revealed that she was addicted to drugs, she would fall miserably from the heights of her success.
Precisely because she had anticipated the consequences, she decided to agree to Zeyang’s request after weighing the pros and cons.
The most important thing at present was to find a way around the dissolution of the marriage contract without harming her reputation.
Therefore, she must persuade Su Ziyue no matter what.
And the person who had made her get involved with drugs was Qin Muchen, Su Ziyue's husband!
Thinking of this, hatred filled Su Yige's eyes for an instant before quickly disappearing.
“I know a lot more than you. Don't forget that my dad handled all your dad's affairs back then.”
Su Yige raised her chin extremely confidently.
Yet, Su Ziyue was more concerned about the second half of her sentence. “Your father was the one who handled it?”
“So, no one knows about your dad better than my dad. You can trust me. This is your only chance.” Su Yige was so desperate to make Su Ziyue believe her and make a deal with her that she didn't even notice the hidden meaning in Su Ziyue's words.
“Really?” Su Ziyue asked her while narrowing her eyes. “So even Grandpa doesn't know where my dad is, right?”
Su Yige frowned slightly, feeling that something was off with Su Ziyue's question. However, she still nodded. “Yes. If you want to know where your dad is being locked up, you have no choice but to make a deal with me.”
If her father's affairs had been handled by Su Yuanming back then, then there was a possibility that Su Yuanming had used unscrupulous means to slander her dad.
She had thought that the perpetrator was Su Youcheng, but to her surprise, she had gotten it all wrong. It was Su Yuanming all along, not Su Youcheng.
Even though she was feeling a mixture of emotions, Su Ziyue still looked at Su Yige indifferently. “Tell me more about the deal.”
Hearing that, Su Yige gave her a satisfied smile.
That was right. Su Ziyue should always be under her control.
Su Yige crossed her arms in front of her chest arrogantly and said, “It's very simple. You just have to admit in front of the media that you got involved in the relationship between Zeyang and I and caused us to break up. I will deal with the rest.”
This way, she could preserve her reputation as the supreme Miss Yige of the Su family.
As for Su Ziyue, her reputation was already terrible anyway. It did not really matter if her reputation was smeared even more.
“So...” Su Ziyue said thoughtfully as a smile flashed across her face.
You call this simple?
Once she confessed her involvement in Su Yige and Zeyang's relationship, she would probably not only be criticized by the public, but she might even be driven out of the Su Group by her grandfather.
Then, Su Yige would get everyone’s sympathy and be forgiven by Su Youcheng.
