Marry Me Quick novel Chapter 209

Chapter 209

Looking in the direction of the kitchen, Su Ziyue walked over after some thought. “I’m not hungry now, so you don’t have to call me for lunch.”

With that, she turned to walk upstairs without even giving Qin Muchen a glance.

Recalling what Su Ziyue had said earlier, Bai Jingshu nudged Qin Muchen’s shoulder. “Did both of you quarrel again?”

His face cold, Qin Muchen gave him a glance without saying a word.

Bai Jingshu touched his nose, deciding not to ask further.

During lunch, Su Ziyue stayed upstairs.

This meal was initially to celebrate Su Ziyue’s hospital discharge. Without the main lead, and due to the continuous cold aura that Qin Muchen was emitting the entire time, the whole dining hall felt extremely suffocating.

Hurriedly, Bai Jingshu finished his meal and dragged Gu Hanyan away.

When Qin Muchen put down his chopsticks, he heard footsteps coming from behind him.

Looking back, it was Su Ziyue.

She stood at the dining hall’s door, unidentifiable emotions on her face. “I need to return to the Su residence.”

Hearing ‘Su Residence’ from her mouth, Qin Muchen knitted his eyebrows. “Do you have to go today? You just got discharged from the hospital.”

Su Ziyue turned a deaf ear to the objection in his words and just said in a flat tone, “I’ve already called a taxi. I’m just informing you.”

With that, she turned to leave.

After her footsteps vanished out the door, Qin Muchen lost control and abruptly swept the plates on the dining table in front of him to the floor.

The crisp sound of plates shattering sliced through the air.

The next second, he dashed out.

The taxi hadn’t arrived, so Su Ziyue waited at the entrance of the villa.

Due to the location of the villa, taxis seldom drove here. She had to pay several times the price to finally book a taxi when she made the booking.

From afar, she spotted the taxi. But when she was about to walk there, someone pulled her wrist from behind.

Needless to think, she knew it was him.

Suppressing her impatience, Su Ziyue let out a long sigh and turned back to look at him in annoyance. “Can we talk about it after I come back? I have matters to attend to at the Su Residence.”

Seeing that her face was still pale and how she had lost weight after a few days of hospitalization, the dark clouds on Qin Muchen’s face slightly lifted. “I’ll send you there.”

“I…”

“I need to settle things at the company, so I’ll just drop you off.”

With that, Qin Muchen pulled her into the car without giving her a chance to reject him. Su Ziyue didn’t dare to struggle because the wound on her back hadn’t recovered.

Closing the car door, Qin Muchen then turned to look at the taxi that had pulled over in front of him. After paying the fee, he returned to the car.

Su Ziyue lay against the car seat, facing to the side. Throughout the journey, they didn’t speak to each other.

Once they arrived at the entrance of the Su Residence, Su Ziyue got out of the car after opening the door. Her actions were hasty as if she couldn’t stand to be with him a second longer.

Dark clouds could be seen in Qin Muchen’s black eyes as he suppressed his emotions. Clenching his fists, he didn’t utter a word.

Once Su Ziyue entered the Su Residence, she saw Su Youcheng, who was sitting in the center of the hall.

“Grandpa, I’m back.”

Su Ziyue greeted Su Youcheng while slowly approaching him.

“You’re back. Come and sit.” Su Youcheng put down the tea cup in his hand and raised his head to look at her.

Su Ziyue walked over and sat on the opposite side of Su Youcheng. Then, she pretended to casually look around. “Why isn’t Yige here?”

“Don’t bother about her!”

Su Youcheng’s expression changed when Su Yige was mentioned.

Naturally, Su Ziyue knew what the reason was. However, she didn’t finish reading the news earlier, so she wasn’t sure what had happened in between. Because of that, she shouldn’t blabber.

Realizing that talking in that way in front of Su Ziyue was inappropriate, he awkwardly coughed once before asking, “I heard that you’re ill. Are you feeling better now?”

Su Ziyue raised her head to look at Su Youcheng and smiled faintly. “Nothing serious. I’m almost recovered now, but I might be unable to report to work at the office these few days.”

Su Youcheng shook his head repeatedly, sounding concerned. “Don’t worry about that. Health should be prioritized.”

“Thank you for your concern, grandpa.” Su Ziyue’s smile on her face didn’t meet her eyes.

At that point, Su Ziyue finally figured out that he must have a favor to ask of her.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t be so nice to her.

What Su Youcheng said subsequently confirmed her supposition.

“Ziyue, you were previously in charge of the LK collaboration case. Are you still in touch with the president of LK? It’s almost the end of the year, and partners should visit each other.”

Su Youcheng minced his words in an official manner, and it didn’t sound strange at first.

However, Su Ziyue knew that Su Group and Mu Group had been collaborating for years. Now, Mu Group was definitely in a poor situation, so Su Youcheng was eagerly trying to ride on LK’s coattails.

Su Ziyue answered bluntly, “We’re not in contact.”

“That’s not right. LK is not only our partner but client too.” Su Youcheng shook his head repeatedly and continued sternly, “How about this. You contact the secretary of LK’s president and make an appointment. I’ll meet up with him…”

Su Ziyue automatically ignored what Su Youcheng said after that.

She lightly interrupted, “Grandpa, do you think that I’d definitely agree to do it once you ask?”

Upon hearing that, Su Youcheng’s face turned cold. “Ziyue!”

Su Ziyue wasn’t afraid of him.

Perhaps she was triggered by Qin Muchen’s incident earlier, so she wasn’t afraid of anything now and had the impulse of risking everything

Straightening her back and keeping away her smile, Su Ziyue said in a cold deep voice, “Grandpa, let’s be straightforward and not resort to insinuations. Just tell me what you want me to do for you, but if you ask me for a favor, you should make some sort of contribution too.”

His thoughts exposed by her, Su Youcheng’s expression instantly became cold and stern. “Su Ziyue, don’t be arrogant even though you have a backing. If the Su family didn’t support you, do you think—”

Su Ziyue sprung up. “The Su family supports me? May I know what did the Su family do, or what effort did they make to support me? If you can list out one thing, I’ll help you unconditionally.”

“You!” Su Youchen choked on his words and couldn’t say anything at that moment.

The shares that had been given to Su Ziyue were rightfully hers, which was left by Su Yizi to her. Besides, the president of LK even interfered in that matter. As for the others…

Only then did Su Youcheng realize that he rarely cared about his granddaughter.

But after thinking about it another way, he snorted. “You asked for it!”

“Yes, I indeed asked for it. There are so many surnames, yet I have the surname ‘Su’!”

Su Ziyue sneered. “If you want to ride on the coattails of LK, exchange it with my father’s news. Otherwise, the consequences the Mu family are suffering will be the future of Su Group.”

Her voice had a trace of ferociousness, causing Su Youcheng to look terrified. Was his granddaughter threatening him?

“Chairman Su, consider well.” Su Ziyue then left in a huff.

Su Youcheng staggered and almost couldn’t breathe. Seeing that, the maid quickly ran to him and supported him so he didn’t fall.
