Gong Zeyang and Qin Muchen stood facing each other as the atmosphere grew tense.
Gong Zeyang had been raised as the Gong Family’s heir since he was little, so he naturally exuded a dogged air of confidence, which he was rather proud of.
But at this point, he was standing in front of Qin Muchen, which unexpectedly made him feel inferior.
Therefore, his face darkened before he stared back at Qin Muchen resolutely. “Grandpa may not even want to see you!”
Qin Muchen snorted coldly and pulled Su Ziyue with him as they went up the stairs.
Gong Zeyang was so furious that his face turned red. Yet, he merely stared after the two of them without doing anything.
Su Yige’s expression was not very good either.
She stood by the couch, clenching her fists. She was so furious that her body trembled.
Even though she was fuming inside, she still maintained her calm composure on the surface. After all, she had played the role of a wealthy and dignified young lady since she was little.
Su Yige plastered a smile on her face and walked up to Su Ziyue. Putting an arm around her, she said, “I’ll accompany Ziyue. I have something to say to my cousin too.”
Su Ziyue snorted in her heart and pulled Su Yige’s arm away from herself calmly. Smiling, she said, “I’ll just go by myself. I’m just going to see Grandpa, so why are you guys making it look like a huge issue?”
She turned to give Qin Muchen a reassuring look before going up the stairs.
Before leaving, she told Su Yige, “Cousin, I’m going up now. But we can talk afterward.”
Su Yige was startled at the word ‘cousin’, but she still forced out a smile and said, “Sure.”
As Su Ziyue disappeared from sight, Qin Muchen turned and walked toward the courtyard.
He lit a cigarette and had just taken one puff when he heard footsteps coming near him.
Listening closely to the sound, he could guess who had arrived.
Su Yige came up to him, her face still red from anger. Her voice was unfriendly as she said, “Qin Muchen, control your wife and don’t let her flirt with other people!”
Although her words did not make much sense, she believed that Qin Muchen would understand what she meant.
However, he merely lowered his eyes to look at the cigarette which had been crushed in his palm. He flicked it away, watching the bits fall into the flower bed before turning around.
Behind him was the darkness of the night. His eyes were as cold as the winter as he stared at Su Yige, who shivered involuntarily, for two seconds. Then, he asked mildly, “Are you talking to me?”
“You!” Su Yige’s face reddened with fury. Under the streetlights, her ugly expression became even uglier.
She shouted at him, “Is there anyone else here?!”
Hearing this, Qin Muchen didn’t answer at once but puffed at his cigarette slowly, then said lazily, “Oh, what did you say?”
Su Yige knew that he was doing all this on purpose, so she mocked, “I guess you don’t have much in you. Su Ziyue must have only liked your looks. Do you really think she…”
“Is Miss Su not having a good life?” Qin Muchen interrupted her suddenly.
“What?” Su Yige didn’t understand what he meant.
Qin Muchen threw the cigarette butt on the ground and stepped on it. As he stepped on it with his foot, he said lazily, “This is just the beginning. In the future, you will have a more terrible life.”
When he spoke, he didn’t lift his head. It was as if he was simply talking to her casually and looking down on her at the same time.
But Su Yige clearly felt the sinister aura coming off him and was so frightened that she backed off and almost tripped over. Trying to steady herself, she questioned, “What do you mean?”
Just now, when she saw that Gong Zeyang was behaving so intimately toward Su Ziyue, she was fuming inside but could not vent her anger in front of him.
So she could only look for Qin Muchen, who did not seem to have much in him and vented it all out on him. Those words she said just now were intended to cause him some distress.
No man could stand his wife being entangled with another man who was much better than himself.
Qin Muchen finally lifted his head to look at Su Yige. His gaze was freezing as he said, “You know that best.”
Then, he walked back into the hall.
She didn’t run after him but merely recalled what he said earlier and found something strange in it.
“Is Miss Su not having a good life?”
“This is just the beginning. In the future, you will have a more terrible life.”
There were indeed many things going wrong with her life recently. Her mother was found guilty and sentenced in court, and someone even caused trouble at her wedding by exposing the secret that she had framed Su Ziyue in the past. Although she didn’t admit to it, her reputation was on edge. Did all of this have something to do with Qin Muchen?
If it really had something to do with Qin Muchen...
As she thought about this, she felt a chill down her spine.
...
Su Ziyue reached Su Youcheng’s study room and knocked on the door.
“Come in.” Su Youcheng’s voice rang from inside.
Su Ziyue pushed open the door and entered. She immediately saw that Su Yuanming was there as well, along with another woman.
That woman was fairly young and looked pretty. She exuded a gentle and pleasant aura.
Seeing Su Ziyue entering, she gave her a friendly smile.
Su Ziyue saw that the woman was sitting beside Su Yuanming, but she did not know what their relationship was. So she only glanced at her without any expression.
“Ziyue is here! Come and sit beside Grandpa.”
Su Youcheng smiled at her lovingly.
She folded her arms together and felt that it was normal for Su Youcheng to be loving, but found it strange that he acted this way toward her.
Although she was thinking about this, she still walked over to him obediently.
“I have something to discuss with Ziyue. You two can go.”
As Su Ziyue sat beside him, Su Youcheng waved at Su Yuanming and the woman impatiently, motioning for them to leave.
A look of distress flashed across Su Yuanming’s face. The woman beside him reached out and patted him comfortingly. Only then did his expression relax slightly.
Su Ziyue instantly understood what their relationship was.
She just didn’t know whether Su Yuanming had started romancing this woman before or after Zhou Lingyu was sentenced in court.
No wonder Su Yige looked so upset.
“Ziyue, your uncle is really muddle-headed. Zhou Lingyu has just been sentenced to prison, but he is now bringing someone else home. This would not be a big deal in itself, but this woman is now pregnant! Recently there are so many things going on too… sigh. This muddle-headed son of mine!”
Tiredness was written all over Su Youcheng’s face as he lamented.
Su Ziyue was stunned and raised her eyebrows slightly. So it turned out that even before Zhou Lingyu was sentenced to prison, Su Yuanming had already started an affair with that woman.
