Su Ziyue needed to let out her grievances and anger, so she wanted to do everything herself. During this time, she didn’t deliberately suppress her emotions, she was just finding a way to vent.
Qin Muchen stared at her intently. After a while, he cast his gaze upon the glass of water on the table. Then, he picked it up, took a sip and put it back. This series of actions seemed casual, but it also revealed a trace of anxiety that was hard to detect.
Su Ziyue wasn’t sure if Qin Muchen was listening to her. Seeing that Qin Muchen was quiet, she lowered her voice and said, “If something pops up that I can’t handle by myself, I’ll ask you for help, okay?”
Hearing this, Qin Muchen reluctantly replied, “Okay.”
Su Ziyue pursed her lips to her smile because his response meant that he had agreed.
The two of them left the VIP room after eating. Su Ziyue wanted to use the washroom, so she asked Qin Muchen to head to the lobby to wait for her. Right after she turned a corner, she casually looked up and saw two familiar figures sitting in a VIP room. That’s Gong Shuzhe and Liu Zipei. What are they doing here? Even though they know each other, they aren’t close enough that they would privately meet up to eat buns together. No matter how long I think about it, it’s impossible that they would get together.
Clouds of doubt gradually rose in Su Ziyue’s heart. Her impression of Gong Shuzhe wasn’t good, but it wasn’t bad either. However, not giving it much thought, she knew that nothing good would come from their meeting together. Because the VIP room was already closed and she couldn’t enter it directly, she chose to head to the washroom first.
When she came out of the washroom and walked past the VIP room, she couldn’t help but stand there for a moment. After she returned to the lobby, she saw Qin Muchen sitting on the sofa, taking a puff. When he caught sight of her, he hurriedly put out the cigarette bud in his hand. Then, he got up and walked toward her. “Let’s go.”
Su Ziyue was still thinking about Gong Shuzhe and Liu Zipei, so she seemed a little absent-minded. The two of them got in the car as she suddenly remembered there were a few questions about work that she wanted to ask Qin Muchen. “Qin…” After only saying his name, she suddenly paused.
Qin Muchen leaned over to help her with her safety belt and saw the surprised look on her face. He narrowed his eyes and asked, “What’s wrong?”
Su Ziyue turned around to look at Qin Muchen and muttered, “Qin Li!” Before Qin Muchen could respond, Su Ziyue looked like she had an epiphany. She grabbed Qin Muchen’s arm and said, “Yes, it’s Qin Li. Two years ago, I saw Gong Shuzhe and Liu Zipei together. At that time, they were arguing and they mentioned Qin Li!”
Hearing this, Qin Muchen’s expression changed slightly because he remembered this incident. However, something happened to Su Ziyue back then, so the matter of Liu Zipei and Gong Shuzhe was put aside. After they returned to China, he spent more time on Su Ziyue and the purpose of his return didn’t matter that much anymore.
“Since they mentioned your mother, it means that they had something to do with my father’s case!” She already knew that Liu Zipei definitely had something to do with Su Yizi, but she never thought that even Gong Shuzhe was part of it too. However, she didn’t know what role Gong Shuzhe played in the whole case.
Qin Muchen reached out and patted her head. “I’ll check it out.”
Su Ziyue turned to look at the entrance of the restaurant and happened to see Gong Shuzhe and Liu Zipei coming out after each other. Qin Muchen saw them too. He glanced at Liu Zipei before he directly stared at Gong Shuzhe, his expression gloomy. Gong Shuzhe and Liu Zipei went their separate ways as soon as they walked out of the restaurant. After the both of them left, Su Ziyue turned back around with a serious expression on her face.
…
Although Su Ziyue had told Qin Muchen before, that she would ask him for help if there was anything she couldn’t handle in taking revenge on the Su Group, she didn’t want him to intervene. After all, her father’s case had something to do with his mother. That was something he needed to investigate. But as for handling the Su Group, it was her business. It really would take a long time for her to handle it herself, and she wasn’t willing to wait for too long. Therefore, she decided to ask for Feng Xingyan’s help. Feng Xingyan’s suggestion was good. I can buy over Su Group and force all members of the Su Family to submit to my power. It would definitely be the biggest torture to them. After making the decision in her heart, Su Ziyue asked Feng Xingyan out for a chat.
While they were at the coffee shop, Su Ziyue straightforwardly said, “Uncle Xingyan, I want to buy over Su Group.”
Feng Xingyan was extremely calm, as if he already expected that Su Ziyue would accept his suggestion. He smiled and looked at Su Ziyue as he went on, “Okay. I’ll leave it to you. If there’s anything that you can’t handle, you can come and ask me.”
Su Ziyue nodded to indicate that she understood. After she returned to the office, Li Qingluo made her coffee and sent it to her office. However, after she delivered the drink to her, Li Qingluo didn’t leave.
Su Ziyue couldn’t help but look up at her. “Is there anything I can help you with?”
After a moment of hesitation, Li Qingluo asked, “Director Su, are you close with… Gu Hanyan?”
Su Ziyue was startled because she didn’t expect that Li Qingluo would ask her about Gu Hanyan. She lowered her head and continued to deal with the work on hand as she coldly replied, “No.”
Li Qingluo’s tone sounded anxious as she queried, “But didn’t she say that the both of you were friends? Moreover, she even came to look for you before…”
Su Ziyue impatiently said, “Well then, you should go and ask her.” At that moment, she felt that she might need to hire another assistant. Li Qingluo was a good person, but she liked Gu Hanyan. Besides, Su Ziyue didn’t need to tell an outsider such as Li Qingluo about what happened between Gu Hanyan and herself. However, even if she wanted to fire Li Qingluo, she didn’t have a valid reason to do so.
Li Qingluo looked disappointed. “There hasn’t been news about her in a long time.”
Su Ziyue suddenly remembered that she wanted to ask Qin Muchen how he had handled the matter about Gu Hanyan, but later on, she got busy and had completely forgotten about it. Seeing the sorrowful look on Li Qingluo’s face, Su Ziyue felt soft hearted and said, “She’s probably just busy. Maybe she’ll appear soon and give her fans an explanation.”
Hearing this, Li Qingluo’s eyes lit up and she nodded repeatedly. “Yes, I think so too.”
After Li Qingluo left, Su Ziyue leaned back and tried to relax as she sank into the soft, comfortable chair and rubbed her temples. What a wonderful thing to be young. Gu Hanyan is blessed to have fans who miss her so much.
However, she would never forgive Gu Hanyan. Everything that she did made Su Ziyue unable to feel sympathetic toward her.
