When the two set off to return to Yunzhou City, they saw the headlines of newspapers everywhere saying, ‘The President of LK Group accompanies his wife, Su Ziyue to a business trip. The loving couple…’
In the car, after having read the newspaper, Su Ziyue put it aside. Qin Muchen glanced at it and a smile appeared on his face. “The media nowadays are getting more and more reliable.” Hearing this, Su Ziyue pouted and turned to look out the window. Then, she noticed that Yanyue Media was only a distance away. As she turned to look at Qin Muchen, she said, “I have to drop by the company. Why don’t you go back first? There’s no need to pick me up later, because my car is still in the company garage.”
“Okay,” Qin Muchen replied, though the smile on his face slowly disappeared. After they arrived at the entrance of Yanyue Media, Su Ziyue opened the car door and got out. Qin Muchen sat in the car and watched her leave. After smoking a cigarette, he turned around and left. He then headed off to investigate the incident where Su Ziyue was almost hit by a car in L City.
After Su Ziyue arrived at the company, she handled some business affairs. When it was time to get off work, she drove to the Su Family’s residence. At the entrance of Su Residence, before her car even came to a complete stop, Su Ziyue opened the car door and got out eagerly. A servant saw Su Ziyue and greeted her, “Miss Su.”
With a cold expression on her face, Su Ziyue looked at the servant and asked, “Is Su Youcheng home?”
The servant was momentarily stunned after she heard what Su Ziyue had said. Then, she replied, “Old Master Su had just returned.” I didn’t hear her wrong, did I? Did Miss Su just call out Old Master Su by his full name?
Su Ziyue no longer cared to bother with the shocked servant. Instead, she pushed her aside and walked straight in.
……
Su Ziyue pushed open the door of the study room aggressively and saw Su Yuanming and Su Youcheng sitting together as they were halfway through a discussion. She strode up to them and coldly glared at Su Youcheng as she said, “Su Youcheng.” A frown appeared on Su Youcheng’s face almost immediately.
Before Su Youcheng could say anything, Su Yuanming stood up and asked, “Ziyue, what’s wrong with you? How could you call my father by his full name?”
Hearing this, Su Ziyue glared at him coldly and said, “You’re next.”
“Why are you here?” Su Youcheng didn’t look pleased but when he thought of Su Ziyue’s identity, he didn’t dare to get angry at her plainly.
“I asked you to help me with the investigation of my father’s case and find out what happened. So many days have passed, but I have heard nothing from you. You didn’t even bother to help me investigate, did you?” Su Ziyue stood in front of Su Youcheng and her gaze was extremely cold. “I told you, it was…” Su Ziyue didn’t know what kind of excuses Su Youcheng was going to come up with, but she directly interrupted him, “I know now.” She didn’t expect that Su Youcheng would help her anyway. Now that she knew that her father was already dead, the Su Family meant nothing to her. She no longer cared about her so-called relatives or even the Su Group.
Su Ziyue raised her head slightly and roared, “Su Youcheng, I used to respect you as my father’s father and as my elder. But from now on, I no longer respect you.” My father is dead now. Combined with what Lu Shichu told me, I know that my father went to jail for someone else, and everyone in the Su Family are accomplices. The moment she learned that her father was really dead, she was completely disappointed in the Su Family. As such, she would not let the Su Family go so easily. Every single member of the Su Family will pay for what they’ve done. Every single one of them!
Su Youcheng looked confused because he didn’t understand what Su Ziyue was implying. As for Su Yuanming, he took a few steps back, as if he understood what was going on. After Su Ziyue finished speaking, she turned around and left. However, she happened to meet Liu Zipei, who was coming in from the outside. With a stern expression, Liu Zipei raised her voice and yelled, “Why are you here?”
Su Ziyue glared at her coldly and replied, “To claim a debt.”
Liu Zipei was stunned by Su Ziyue’s sharp gaze for a moment before she abruptly came back to her senses. I can’t believe that I was intimidated by a little girl’s glare.
“The Su Family raised you, so what debt are you trying to collect? You should be grateful and repay the favor instead of being so rude and ignorant!” Liu Zipei pointed at her nose and began to curse.
Su Ziyue didn’t even blink as she raised her hand and pushed Liu Zipei’s hand away. “Don’t point at my nose when you’re speaking to me. I don’t like it.” Liu Zipei was my father’s stepmother. Among those in the Su Family who contributed to the flames, she must be the one to bear the brunt of the fury.
“You! You’re really…”
Su Ziyue was reluctant to speak to her any further, so she pushed her aside to make way for herself. Then, she took two steps forward before she looked back at the room full of startled faces. “I’ve already given all of you one last chance. From now on, it’s time for you to pay off your debts.”
Seeing Su Ziyue’s figure slowly disappear out of the doorway, Su Youcheng was the first to react. He looked up at Liu Zipei and asked, “What does she mean by paying off the debts?” He realized that Su Ziyue’s words were obviously aimed at Liu Zipei, so he asked her directly.
Liu Zipei looked guilty for a second and there was a flicker in her eyes as she chided, “How would I know the reason for her going crazy and asking for debts? The Su Family raised her up. Not only is she not grateful, she even came over to collect debts. She’s simply…”
Su Youcheng didn’t want to hear Liu Zipei nagging. He remembered that Su Ziyue had asked him directly whether he investigated Su Yizi’s case, so he turned to look at Su Yuanming. “Did you go and visit your brother?” Su Yuanming wiped away the cold sweat on his forehead and looked up to glance at Liu Zipei, who kept sending him signals, before he stammered, “Yizi… actually committed suicide within a few days after being in prison. I was afraid that you might get upset, so I didn’t tell you…”
The expression on Su Youcheng’s face instantly changed. “What did you say? He’s dead?”
“Y-Yes…” Seeing that Su Youcheng was about to get angry, Su Yuanming didn’t even dare to breathe.
Even though Su Youcheng had thought that Su Yizi didn’t really meet his standards, he was still his son, and his eldest son at that. He had always thought that Su Yizi was still alive. He never thought that he… “Youcheng, don’t be too upset. You have to take care of your health. It was me who asked Yuanming to hide this from you. Yizi probably realized how ridiculously wrong he was, and didn’t have the courage to see you, so he chose to commit suicide…” Liu Zipei comforted Su Youcheng in a gentle voice as she signaled at Su Yuanming. “Yes, father. Yizi probably realized he was wrong…” Su Yuanming hurriedly joined in. Su Youcheng sighed, waved at them and said, “Get out.”
After Su Ziyue walked out of Su Youcheng’s study room, she went downstairs and met Xu Lisha at the entrance. Xu Lisha greeted her, “Mrs. Qin.” Su Ziyue carefully glanced at her and said, “Miss Xu, you look good.”
Hearing this, Xu Lisha leaned close to Su Ziyue and whispered in a low voice that only the two of them could hear, “After Youran passed away, my life has no meaning.”
