Gong Zeyang must've been afraid of being noticed by others, so he came alone. But Su Ziyue had brought bodyguards with her, so when Su Ziyue wanted to take Su Yige away, he had no way to stop them.
Su Ziyue took Su Yige back to Cloud Bay, and got a doctor to check on Su Yige. When everything was done, it was two in the morning and Su Ziyue was feeling a little tired.
She leaned against the door and started to yawn.
Su Yige sat on the bed and said, "Go ahead and sleep."
"Mm." Su Yige replied casually before turning around to go back to her room.
"Wait."
Su Yige suddenly called out to her.
Su Ziyue turned around. "Anything else?"
"Tonight..." Su Yige hesitated for a moment before saying, "Sorry to trouble you for what happened tonight."
She turned her head to the side after saying that, her face full of unease.
"Since you know that you've troubled me, return to the Su Family tomorrow," said Su Ziyue before leaving.
Su Ziyue woke up very early the next day. She was going to work at Yanyue Group today.
When she went downstairs, she heard a sound in the kitchen.
She walked over to see Su Yige making breakfast in the kitchen.
Su Yige's hair was tied up and she was wearing the clothes from yesterday. Her lower abdomen was protruding slightly and she looked quite refined.
Feeling like someone was watching her from behind, Su Yige turned her head. When she saw that it was Su Ziyue, she was momentarily startled before she said, "Good morning."
"Good morning." Su Ziyue nodded slightly.
The setting was really awkward.
Two people who were incompatible, living under the same roof.
Su Ziyue asked her, "You know how to cook?"
She didn't know much about Su Yige; she practically knew nothing.
"Mm, because Madam Gong likes a daughter-in-law who knows how to cook, so I found and took cooking classes." Su Yige's voice slowly become softer.
Su Ziyue didn't answer her. She looked at Su Yige bringing dishes to the table.
"Are you going to work? Come and eat before leaving." Su Yige had an uneasy expression on her face but there was faint anticipation in her eyes.
She was about to decline before she swallowed those words back in.
Both of them ate breakfast silently.
The injury on Su Ziyue's arm was healing but she still couldn't drive.
The bodyguards were waiting apprehensively outside. Su Ziyue said to Su Yige, "Let me take you back to the Su Family."
…
Su Ziyue didn't send Su Yige back to the Su Family.
After leaving Cloud Bay and reaching the city, Su Yige got out of the car.
"Go to work. I'll go back myself," said Su Yige before getting out of the car.
Su Ziyue looked on as she took a few steps, then instructed the driver, "Let's go."
It didn't matter if Su Yige really came to a realization, or if it was just her thoughts at the time. Su Ziyue decided not to pay her any attention anymore.
…
At Yanyue Group, Li Qingluo saw Su Ziyue and cried out in surprise, "Director Su!"
Su Ziyue couldn't be bothered about her shock. She asked, "Is President Feng here?"
"President Feng went back to Jingcheng City two days ago."
Su Ziyue was walking quickly. Li Qingluo could only break into a jog to keep up with Su Ziyue's footsteps.
Previously, when Feng Xingyan had said those things to her, she had felt much dislike toward him.
Then Gong Shuzhe had died in prison, and she had gone to look for Qin Muchen. Right up until now, she'd never contacted Feng Xingyan on her own accord.
As for Feng Xingyan, it was like he was also angry with her, and never contacted her.
But no matter what, Feng Xingyan was her uncle.
Su Ziyue's footsteps stopped. She pursed her lips and said, "I understand."
When she reached her office, she decided to call Feng Xingyan.
The phone rang for some time before getting through.
Feng Xingyan's voice was still as gentle as ever, and it felt like a spring breeze. "Ziyue?"
Su Ziyue noted that his voice was normal. She didn't want to act coy so she asked bluntly, "Uncle Xingyan, you've... gone back to Jingcheng City?"
"Mm, you're working in the office?" The sound of pages flipping was heard on the other end.
Without waiting for Su Ziyue to continue, Feng Xingyan said, "I have a meeting shortly, I'll call you back later."
The phone call ended quickly.
Su Ziyue didn't quite understand what Feng Xingyan was thinking about.
She'd never been able to quite make out Feng Xingyan, because he rarely showed his feelings.
Unlike Qin Muchen. When he was angry or upset, he'd show it in his face. At least she could feel that his feelings were changing.
…
Su Ziyue initially intended not to pay attention to Su Yige's affairs anymore.
But in the afternoon, every media outlet was broadcasting breaking news.
Other than exaggerated written criticism, the news also contained an image gallery with countless pictures.
It was all of Gong Zeyang meeting other women in private.
In the first few pictures, Su Ziyue vaguely knew the names of the women. But the photos progressively became more indecent. Their dressing was revealing and vulgar. Needless to say, they were escorts.
Su Ziyue didn't need to think twice to know that this was done by Su Yige.
As Su Ziyue was looking at it, the figures were wearing winter apparel in some pictures.
This meant that Su Yige had known that Gong Zeyang was fooling around with women very early on, but never took any action.
If it wasn't for what Gong Zeyang did to make Su Yige give up all hope in despair, maybe she would've acted like nothing had happened, and continued to live her life.
Su Ziyue closed the news website and settled some urgent matters. She didn't stay long at the office and left after that.
On the way back, she received a call from Qin Muchen.
Qin Muchen's berating fell like rainfall.
"Su Ziyue! Are you out of your mind? What does Su Yige have to do with you? Did you have nothing else to do but go and save her? You..."
Su Ziyue wasn't angry but casually asked, "When are you coming back?"
A simple question successfully interrupted what Qin Muchen was going to say.
After the phone call yesterday with Su Ziyue, Qin Muchen was more relieved when he knew that there were bodyguards at home. But when he called the bodyguard to ask just now, he heard about how she'd saved Su Yige.
He didn't have a good impression of Su Yige.
Hearing Su Ziyue's gentle voice, the anger in his heart vanished in an instant. He asked her, "Do you miss me?"
Su Ziyue glanced at the driver upfront and lowered her voice. "Yes, so when are you coming back?"
"As soon as possible..."
At the entrance of the villa, Su Ziyue saw Su Yige sitting by the shrubs at the entrance once she got out of the car.
She looked extremely exhausted.
Seeing Su Ziyue get out of the car, Su Yige stood up immediately.
"Why are you here?" Su Ziyue's face clearly showed that Su Yige was unwelcome.
Su Yige was slightly uneasy. "I don't want to stay with the Su Family."
Those at the Su Family were either lamenting about how they had misjudged Gong Zeyang at first, or blaming her for misjudging him. She was sick of hearing it.
She felt that staying with Su Ziyue was better than staying with the Su Family.
This was a funny feeling. Although Su Ziyue and her shared part of the same blood, she'd never felt friendly towards Su Ziyue in the past twenty years.
But at this point, she felt that Su Ziyue was more cordial than those from the Su Family.
