Marry Me Quick novel Chapter 289

Chapter 289

Since young, Lu Shichu had always been an obedient child in everyone’s eyes.

He would never make mistakes and would not behave inappropriately, let alone getting into a fight.

However, men were born to be competitive. This sort of matter would not pose any trouble to Lu Shichu, who had always been an excellent student of good character and fine scholarship since he was little.

Nonetheless, he was still weaker compared to Qin Muchen.

Ten minutes later, Lu Shichu stopped as he gasped for air. “Mr. Qin, I’ve told you not to show any mercy,” he said shakily.

“Oh.” Qin Muchen calmly responded as he breathed evenly.

Lu Shichu was puzzled upon seeing this; he had always been working out regularly. On top of that, he was even a doctor—he would always pay attention to his body conditioning.

A normal person would surely be gasping for air after getting into such a fight.

Nonetheless, it was nothing for Qin Muchen.

Right after Qin Muchen finished his sentence, he turned around to put his coat back on. He fumbled through his jacket for a few seconds to find a lighter and a pack of cigarettes.

He lit one of the cigarettes before asking Lu Shichu, “Do you want one?”

“Thanks.” Lu Shichu reached out his hand toward Qin Muchen.

Qin Muchen then handed the lighter and a cigarette to him. After lighting up the cigarette, Lu Shichu returned the lighter to him.

Qin Muchen then spoke in a hoarse voice after he took a puff of the cigarette. “What did you tell her?”

“I think the question you should be asking is what did she tell me.” Lu Shichu sounded cynical.

He was clearly being sarcastic.

As a brother, he had taken care of Su Ziyue since she was little. Why would he let her cry?

He would only gain her trust and let her tell him everything at her will.

Even though Lu Shichu could not make out his expression, he could feel the ruthlessness coming from Qin Muchen.

Lu Shichu took a deep puff from the cigarette in his hand and said, “Your personality is overly somber. You’re not suitable for Su Ziyue.”

“That’s between Su Ziyue and I—who are you to judge?!”

Qin Muchen took a puff of cigarette fiercely before tossing the cigarette butt to the ground. He then stomped on it before rooting his foot down; it was as though he was stomping on Lu Shichu instead.

“If so, why did you come to me?” Lu Shichu raised his sight to take a glance toward the sky. “You can even see stars here?” asked Lu Shichu in an astonished manner.

“What did she tell you?” Qin Muchen repeated his previous question once more.

“The both of you aren’t suitable for each other.”

He continued right after he had finished his previous sentence. “You’re an outstanding person and you make me feel inferior. However, being able to successfully run a company does not mean that you’re able to run a relationship flawlessly. You…”

Qin Muchen interrupted him with a snort. “Since you’re taking things easy, why didn’t you tell Su Ziyue that you like her?”

Qin Muchen sneered afterward. His laughter was filled with irony and disdain.

Fortunately, Lu Shichu did not tell her anything. Otherwise, Qin Muchen would have really not shown him any mercy.

Lu Shichu trembled before coming back to his senses after a short while.

“You and I are different; I understand that she doesn’t need my love. What she needs is for me to constantly be the brother of hers who remained in her memories.”

Back then, there was a tight bond between Su Ziyue and the Lu Family.

The night when Su Ziyue’s mother went into labor at the hospital, Lu Shichu and his mother waited outside the operating room.

Lu Shichu was waiting to see his little sister.

However, the moment his little sister was born, she had lost her mother.

He felt very sorry for his little sister at that moment, and he wanted to take good care of her.

Everyone had their own obsessions; that thought of his budded in his heart and grew over the years. Moreover, it was firmly rooted into his heart.

Su Ziyue was an obedient child when she was little and would always listen to him. As she aged, her face was distinctly outlined. By her teens, she was already pretty and gorgeous-looking.

To Lu Shichu, Su Ziyue was like a stalk of flowers that had blossomed under his watch; he had endless love and care for her.

During this part of his life, other than spending his time on the medical field, he had paid a lot of attention to Su Ziyue.

Nonetheless, he was rather displeased too.

He was clearly the one who had taken care of that little girl. How could she belong to another man in a blink of an eye?

Moreover, this man did not know how to appreciate her.

Lu Shichu saw Qin Muchen’s body shivering faintly for a while, but he could not clearly see it as the lighting was dim.

After noticing that Qin Muchen had nothing to say, Lu Shichu then recollected himself and continued, “Ziyue has told me before that you treat her very well. However, you’re not doing it out of pure intentions.”

Qin Muchen pursed his lips tightly as he grudgingly yelled a few words. “You don’t know anything!”

“I actually don’t know anything about it—especially this one matter which I just can’t wrap my head around.”

Lu Shichu then put his hand into the pocket of his coat. “I suppose you know a thing or two about Ziyue’s father’s incident. I was only fourteen years old when that incident occurred; I don’t belong to the Su Family too. Hence, I don’t know much about it. However, I’ve heard rumors saying that the victim’s surname is Qin.”

Lu Shichu stressed the last two words of his sentence.

It was a night during early spring and the air was still slightly cold.

The two men stood under the dim light on an abandoned basketball court while facing each other. None of them uttered a word for quite a long time.

“What about it?” Qin Muchen sounded pointless.

“You’re right. It doesn’t really mean anything. It’s just that…” Lu Shichu halted for a moment as his tone gradually sounded gloomier. “A woman with the surname Qin whose exact details cannot be acquired at all; there aren’t a lot of women like her in the entire Yunzhou City. I’m sorry for mentioning the deceased under this circumstance. However, what I want to say is that Uncle Su isn’t someone who would do such a thing. Otherwise, he would not have brought up a girl that is so stubborn.”

Lu Shichu noticed that Qin Muchen had kept silent; he could almost confirm his guess in his mind.

When the Su Family was taking care of this matter back then, they were very low-profile. Everything was taken care of in an exceptionally neat manner.

About ten years ago, data retention methods were not as complete as they were now; even if he had set his mind on investigating this matter, the information that he would have gotten would be useless.

As for Su Ziyue, she was still very young at that time. After the incident had happened, the Su Family brought her back and claimed to be protecting her from the public’s opinion. She had never seen her father since then, and that was why she knew nothing about her father.

Even though Su Ziyue was completely isolated during that time, it did not mean that she did not know anything about it at all.

Lu Shichu did not suspect Qin Muchen at first. However, it was during the time when Qin Muchen had just returned to Yunzhou City, Lu Shichu—who had been keeping his eyes on this matter—noticed someone investigating this matter.

Nonetheless, the person investigating the matter was very mysterious.

He had only wanted to feel something out at first, but the reactions from Qin Muchen…

“I never knew that Doctor Lu had such a great imagination.” Qin Muchen still stood in the dark. His expressions were unseeable, nor were they hearable.

“If Mr. Qin feels like this is only my imagination, then do as you wish. However, I believe that Ziyue will take my words seriously.”

Lu Shichu’s voice was stone-cold.

He would never let a man with bad intentions get close to the girl whom he had brought up with care.

If it was so, it would be better for him to defend her himself.
