Marry Me Quick novel Chapter 356

Chapter 356

After Qin Muchen finished speaking, he stared fixedly at Su Ziyue, whose mind was a complete blank. So, his biological parents were Gong Shuzhe and Qin Li. Her father went to jail because he was framed by others for Qin Li’s death, and it was very likely that Gong Shuzhe was involved.

Seeing that she was silent, Qin Muchen appeared a little nervous as he said, "I planned to tell you all about it once everything became clear." However, he didn't expect that things would get out of his control. Perhaps everything was already deviating from his expectations the moment he received the DNA comparison report with Gong Shuzhe.

Despite that, he thought that the person who sent him the mail was merely going against him. However, right now, he finally understood that that person was indeed targeting him. Still, Su Ziyue would be implicated anytime if he was being targeted.

Staring at him blankly, she asked, "So you deliberately got close to him before this because you already knew that he was your father?"

Almost immediately, he answered, "Yes, I knew about it many years ago that Gong Shuzhe is my biological father."

Fixing her gaze on him, her eyes slowly turned sharp as she inquired in an abnormally calm manner, "So what else do you know?" Besides the fact that Gong Shuzhe was his biological father, he must have known about other things as well. His habit of hiding things from her hadn't changed at all.

Just then, the door to the office opened with a creak, and Feng Xingyan appeared at the door. Both of them turned to look at the direction of the entrance simultaneously, but it was Su Ziyue who reacted first by springing upright from the couch and greeted him, "Uncle Xingyan."

Feng Xingyan nodded slightly and walked over as his eyes fell on Qin Muchen nonchalantly. Then, he turned his head quickly to her. "I have something to discuss with you."

"Why don’t you head home first? We'll talk tonight," she said, looking at Qin Muchen.

Qin Muchen cast a look at Feng Xingyan and disdain flashed quickly in his eyes. "Yeah, I'll make a move first. I’ll pick you up after work."

She didn't make a reply to him, and he stared at her stubbornly as if he wouldn't leave until he received one. "I got it," she responded with a hint of annoyance. With that, Qin Muchen left satisfied.

Gong Shuzhe was a very delicate topic between them, so the exposure of this matter would ultimately affect them significantly. After he left the place, Qin Muchen didn't return home immediately; there were many loose ends to tie up after his relationship with Gong Shuzhe became public.

…

Feng Xingyan only sat down after Qin Muchen had left, and he threw a copy of the newspaper on the coffee table. He spoke in his usual warm voice with a weird smile on his face, "This must be the most interesting news of the year."

Su Ziyue took a glance and saw that it was a news report about the relationship between Qin Muchen and Gong Shuzhe. She could imagine that this news would be the talk of the town for the next few days to come.

However, she was a little put off with Feng Xingyan's tone and asked calmly, "So are you here to speak about this with me?"

Missing the hint that she had no intention of speaking about this with him, Feng Xingyan raised his eyebrows and asked perplexedly, "Aren't you surprised by this?"

"I've known about this since a long time ago, so I'm not surprised at all," she replied, furrowing her brows as her disgust for him grew. This is not his usual self. Something seems a little odd about him today. Su Ziyue didn't know why she had to lie. Maybe it was because she felt uncomfortable. After all, he had guessed it correctly that she didn't know about this beforehand.

A trace of anger flashed across Feng Xingyan’s face. Su Ziyue turned to the side, not wanting to look at him as she said, "If there's nothing else, I still have work to do." Right now, this was the last thing that she wanted to speak about with anyone.

With narrowed eyes, Feng Xingyan crossed his arms and leaned back before saying something which agitated her. "Really? Then did he tell you that your father was set up and sent to jail because of Gong Shuzhe? And that was why you lost your father at such a young age and had to go through so much of hardships in the Su Family?"

When he finished, he stared hard at her with an almost cruel look on his face and continued, "The man you married, who you wish to spend the rest of your life with, is the son of your enemy."

Her face froze and it took her a long while before she could reply in a dry voice, "This has nothing to do with Qin Muchen."

"Yes, it has nothing to do with him, so you can stay with him peacefully," he said with a mocking smile and glanced at the newspaper. Pointing a finger at it, he said, "Take a look at how similar Qin Muchen looks like Gong Shuzhe."

…

When it was time to leave work, Qin Muchen arrived on the dot at Yanyue Media to pick up Su Ziyue. He waited for her for twenty minutes before she finally made her way down. Leaning against the hood of his car, he held a cigarette between his fingers without lighting it up. Maybe his addiction was acting up again and it was a little unbearable.

Su Ziyue stared at him from far, and he caught her stare after a few seconds. Quickening her steps, she muttered, "Let's go." With that, she got into the car.

On the way back, Qin Muchen drove carefully while she stared outside the window, each absorbed in their own thoughts without saying a word. The car came to a stop when they reached their place. Unable to hold it back any longer, she asked him again, "So what else do you know?"

Qin Muchen, who was in the midst of unbuckling his seatbelt, froze. It was the same question she asked him in the afternoon.

"What did you find out this whole time when you were investigating… him?" She hesitated before finishing her sentence because she found it weird to use Gong Shuzhe's full name in front of him. After all, that man was his father. When he didn't reply, she pressed on, "Did you know that he was connected to my father from the beginning? Was that the reason why there was no progress when you helped me to find out about my father's case two years ago? You were lying to me this whole time! My father was the most innocent person! You have no idea how kind he is. You—let go of me!"

Qin Muchen grabbed her tightly. "Calm down."

"I can't calm down!" she yelled. "You've been lying to me since the beginning about everything. I told you everything about my father because I thought that you'll definitely be able to find out something since you're so capable. But you told me that it's difficult because such a long time has passed. Was it really difficult?"

Qin Muchen's brows knitted together. "Su Ziyue."

"I only want you to answer me this, was there really no progress in the investigations because such a long time has passed? Or, was it because it had something to do with Gong Shuzhe, your biological father? Tell me!" Her eyes were red as she stared at him with tears filling up her eyes.
