“You’re useless!”
After Su Youcheng yelled at the person on the other end of the phone, he hung up.
He clenched his phone tightly as he turned to survey Qin Muchen. “You did this? Who are you?”
After Su Youcheng finished asking the question aggressively, he suddenly felt a wave of fear.
If Qin Muchen really ruined his plan that he had taken a lot of effort to get with just one simple phone call, he was definitely not an ordinary person.
Qin Muchen didn’t even look at him. Instead, he glanced at his watch and frowned slightly before he said to himself, “The best time to have breakfast has passed.”
He completely ignored Su Youcheng’s questions and patted Su Ziyue’s head. “Let’s go. I’ll cook some breakfast for you after we get home.”
As he spoke, he dragged Su Ziyue, who was dumbfounded, out of the house.
The servants and bodyguards that were surrounding them sensibly made way for them to leave.
“Dad…”
Su Yuanming, who had been watching all of this from the side, hurriedly stepped forward to support Su Youcheng, who was still in shock.
When he saw that Su Youcheng was ignoring him, he quickly asked, “Dad, are you okay?”
Su Youcheng waved his hand before he pulled away from his grip and walked to the sofa to take a seat. Then, he closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
His subordinate on the phone just now said that the person that helped them get the project suddenly called him to notify them that they couldn’t continue working on the development project anymore.
His subordinate even implied that somebody with a higher position than the person who helped them had interfered and caused this to happen.
If Qin Muchen ruined my project with just a phone call, that means…
After the two of them got in the car, Su Ziyue crossed her arms and looked out the window. Then, she turned around to look at Qin Muchen.
While starting the car, Qin Muchen said, “If you want to look, look openly.”
“I… I’m looking at the scenery so of course I’m looking at it openly,” Su Ziyue muttered seriously as she turned to look at him.
The corner of Qin Muchen’s lips curled into a grin before he raised one hand to point at his cheeks. “I’m giving you a chance to express your admiration.”
What?
Su Ziyue was startled. At that instant, Qin Muchen was acting as if he was drunk.
He was showing his true self.
“Who wants to kiss you? Seriously…”
As Su Ziyue spoke, she turned her head to look out the window in disgust. Then, she quickly turned around again and leaned close to Qin Muchen to kiss him on the cheeks. Just then, Qin Muchen suddenly turned his head to the side and the kiss that was targeted at his cheeks simply became a kiss on the lips.
Su Ziyue blinked in surprise before she quickly moved away from him. As for Qin Muchen, he glanced at her meaningfully and didn’t say anything.
However, Su Ziyue felt that his glance was even scarier than anything that he might have said.
After feeling embarrassed for a while, she asked, “What did Gong Zeyang do to provoke you? I saw that he was badly injured…”
After asking that question, Su Ziyue felt even more confused. Was it because of me?
“How did you know that it was him who provoked me? What if I just wanted to beat him up for no reason?” It’s not like I’ve never done such a thing before.
However, naturally, my darling wife would never know.
Su Ziyue muttered, “You’re not the kind of person that does things without reason.”
“Reason?” Qin Muchen repeated and suddenly burst into laughter.
Reason? Doesn’t she know that having power is also a reason?
“What are you laughing at?! I’m asking you a question!” Su Ziyue yelled as she glared at him.
Hearing this, Qin Muchen immediately stopped laughing and he restored his usual calm expression. After giving it some thought, he replied, “He provoked me first. I couldn’t help it.”
“How did he provoke you?” Su Ziyue was getting more and more curious.
However, Qin Muchen started to pretend to be mute. No matter how many times she asked, he never told her.
Gong Zeyang’s condition was not very good. He was bleeding internally and had a broken rib.
Coincidentally, the hospital Gong Zeyang was sent to happened to be owned by Lu Shichu’s family.
It was Lu Shichu who took the initiative to ask Su Ziyue about Gong Zeyang before he told her about Gong Zeyang’s condition.
“It sounds like he’s really badly injured…” Su Ziyue muttered to herself.
Hearing this, Lu Shichu from the other end of the phone chuckled and said, “If they want a report, it will only be judged as a minor injury. It just sounds serious.”
“Okay, I understand. Thank you.”
After Su Ziyue thanked him, she brought her phone with her as she went to look for Qin Muchen in the study.
After they returned from the Su family residence the night before, they never mentioned Gong Zeyang again and they never received any news from the Su family.
At first, Su Ziyue was planning to visit Gong Zeyang today because no matter what, it was wrong for Qin Muchen to beat people.
However, she was frustrated because she didn’t know how to persuade Qin Muchen to visit Gong Zeyang.
“Are you busy?” Su Ziyue knocked before she pushed open the door and entered the room.
When Qin Muchen saw her enter, he closed the laptop in front of him and asked, “What’s up?”
Then, he got up, took a seat on the sofa at the side and poured two glasses of water before he gestured for Su Ziyue to join him.
Su Ziye obediently followed his instructions and sat down.
She held onto her cup and took a sip but she still didn’t know how to ask him.
Qin Muchen saw that Su Ziye seemed to have something to say but didn’t dare to speak up so he raised an eyebrow and asked, “Who was it who told me that we should communicate with each other more?”
“Uh…” Su Ziyue choked on her water. Even though she had indeed said that, sometimes, she really felt that it was hard to speak up.
Seeing that she still wasn’t planning to speak up, he softly asked, “How’s your back injury? I’ll accompany you to the hospital for a checkup later.”
“I don’t really feel any pain anymore. I’m almost fully recovered so there’s no need for a checkup…” Su Ziyue shook her head and refused.
“When I say you need it, you need it.”
After Qin Muchen finished speaking, he got up and grabbed his jacket that was on the office chair and dragged Su Ziyue out of the house.
It was only after they arrived at the hospital did Su Ziyue seem to realize something.
“Go do a checkup first.”
With that, Qin Muchen took her to Lu Shichu’s office and Su Ziyue just followed him quietly.
“Mr. Qin?” Lu Shichu was surprised to see him. He tilted his head a little and saw Su Ziyue who was behind him so he greeted her. “Ziyue.”
“Shichu.” Su Ziyue greeted as she awkwardly waved at him.
“Please, take a seat.”
Lu Shichu gestured for the two of them to sit down and poured water for them.
Qin Muchen had a grim expression on his face ever since he stepped into the office. After he took the glass of water from Lu Shichu, he said, “Find me the best female surgeon in his hospital.”
“Sorry for troubling you…” Su Ziyue muttered as she smiled embarrassingly at Lu Shichu.
Seeing this, Lu Shichu frowned and asked, “Are you hurt?”
He was the deputy director of the hospital. In addition to performing surgery on important people, he had to attend various meetings. It seemed as if his father was planning to pass on the hospital to him so he was unbelievably busy. He was so busy that he could only send a few text messages to Su Ziyue even after hearing what had happened to her.
Su Ziyue hurriedly replied, “It’s nothing. I’ve already recovered.”
Hearing this, Lu Shichu didn’t ask any more questions and found a female doctor to do a checkup on Su Ziyue.
With that, Su Ziyue left together with the female doctor and only Lu Shichu and Qin Muchen were left in the office.
Lu Shichu handed a cigarette to Qin Muchen. However, after Qin Muchen took it from him, he didn’t light it up.
