Marry Me Quick novel Chapter 785

Chapter 785 Acknowledging Ancestry

Su Yige's face stiffened as she clutched her bag tightly. She couldn't be bothered to conceal her discomfort and said, "See you."

She hurriedly departed without waiting for An Xia to say anything.

Thinking Su Yige was behaving strangely, she turned to look at the retreating figure and found her bumping into the corner of a table from walking too fast. An Xia winced at the sight of it, but Su Yige didn't even pause for a moment. In fact, she even ran away.

An Xia was puzzled, wondering what was going on with Su Yige. It was like she was being chased by a ghost.

At that, she turned to Bai Yeqi and noticed that he was holding his phone with one hand, as if sending a message to someone, with an unreadable expression on his face.

Could it be that Bai Yeqi spooked Su Yige?

An Xia pondered for a moment, then asked, "Yeqi, what did you say to her just now?"

"Nothing," Bai Yeqi replied indifferently.

Seeing An Xia's suspicious look, he added, "I didn't have a chance to say anything before you came."

An Xia didn't want him to misunderstand, so she said, "I didn't mean anything by it."

"Mm."

The two of them weren't very familiar with each other, but because of what had happened, An Xia thought Bai Yeqi wasn't as difficult to approach as she had initially thought.

Still, that was as far as it went.

An Xia cleared her throat awkwardly and mentioned, "Are you leaving now? I'm about to leave too."

"I still have some things to take care of," Bai Yeqi said, then asked her, "How are you going back?"

An Xia sensed a hint of concern in his words and shook her head, saying, "I'll take a taxi back; it's convenient. You go ahead and take care of your business."

Bai Yeqi nodded and didn't say anything more.

On her way back, An Xia kept pondering, feeling that Bai Yeqi and Su Yige were acting strangely. However, logically speaking, they shouldn't know each other.

Bai Yeqi didn't immediately leave either after An Xia left. Instead, he sat quietly and ordered a cup of coffee for himself.

Not long after, his phone rang.

Bai Yeqi answered the call and casually said, "No need to alarm her. Just have two people follow her. You come back."

It was unclear what the person on the other end said, but Bai Yeqi replied with a simple 'Mm' before hanging up.

…

An Xia coincidentally ran into Bai Yunan, who was leaving, when she returned to the Bai Residence.

She stopped in her tracks and called out, "Yunan."

Bai Yunan didn't stop his steps. Instead, he only glanced at her and nodded in acknowledgment.

Suddenly, Kun came to An Xia's head.

The kidnapper was shot dead by Bai Yunan, and she was saved, but she never asked about the aftermath because of the lingering fear. However, Kun behaved as if he knew her, making her curious.

"Yunan, I… I have something to ask you."

Bai Yunan halted and turned to look at An Xia, who seemed eager to speak.

He seemed to be in a rush, for he checked the time on his wristwatch before asking her, "What is it?"

"It's about Kun. Did you find out anything about him? He seemed to act like he knew me before," she asked, looking nervously at Bai Yunan, who frowned and pondered for a moment before replying, "He was from Yunzhou City in Cheng'an County. He dropped out of the primary school affiliated with County No.1 Middle School in fifth grade and spent a few years as a small-time thug in Cheng'an County. After that, he left Cheng'an County and joined Gricy's gang."

At that, he paused for a moment and asked An Xia, "Does that ring a bell?"

An Xia nodded thoughtfully, "I'm also from Cheng'an County."

Bai Yunan had other things to attend to, so he didn't linger and left.

Whether Kun and An Xia knew each other in the past wasn't something he cared about. After all, Kun was already dead; these details no longer mattered.

Meanwhile, An Xia walked absentmindedly toward her room.

She remembered that year when she encountered a group of people beating up a young thief on her way home from school.

She couldn't remember exactly how old she was at the time. Was it thirteen? Fourteen?

The thief seemed to be about her age and was being brutally beaten, his face covered in blood.

After the attackers left, cursing and grumbling, An Xia felt both scared and sorry for the young thief. She hid nearby and watched for a long time, noticing that he never got up. After hesitating for a moment, she went over and dragged him to a nearby clinic.

An Xia's family had become well-off at that point, and she had a lot of pocket money, so she had the money to pay for his medical expenses.

After that, she never saw him again.

It had been so long that she couldn't remember what he looked like. She vaguely recalled some features, and they resembled Kun.

With these thoughts in mind, An Xia arrived at the door of her room.

She pushed the door open and sat quietly on the sofa for a long time.

It had been many years since that incident, and she had long forgotten about the bloody, brutally beaten young boy. Little did she expect that they would cross paths again after so many years.

Kun probably recognized her early on, or he wouldn't have stopped Lao Wu from touching her.

If it weren't for Kun's protection, she might've already been…

It was an ironic assumption, yet an undeniable fact.

As the ancients said, "Good deeds will be rewarded."

…

An Xia and Bai Jingshu's wedding was simple.

The guests who came to congratulate them were all influential figures, many of whom An Xia had only seen in the news before, and it was then that An Xia finally realized she had married into a prestigious family.

Su Ziyue and her family also attended the wedding.

An Xia had also invited Su Yige, but she didn't show up. Instead, she sent a wedding gift through Su Ziyue.

An Xia already thought something was strange between Su Yige and Bai Yeqi—it could also just be her imagination—she thought Su Yige didn't show up because she was avoiding Bai Yeqi.

After changing into her second wedding dress, An Xia couldn't help but gossip with Bai Jingshu, whispering, "Do you think Yeqi might know Su Yige?"

"How could they know each other?" Bai Jingshu turned to her, looking puzzled.

An Xia pouted in dissatisfaction, then found a chance to bring the matter up with Su Ziyue.

After hearing her out, Su Ziyue fell silent momentarily before saying, "Is she afraid of Bai Yeqi?"

"I think so. It was just the three of us that day. She'd be afraid of me if not Yeqi. But Bai Jingshu said they couldn't possibly know each other."

An Xia felt more confused as she spoke.

Su Ziyue's eyes flickered, and she urged An Xia, "Today's your big day. Why are you so concerned about other people? Stay with me any longer, and I guarantee Bai Jingshu will come and carry you away."

At that, An Xia looked over at Bai Jingshu. Sure enough, he was standing not far away, staring at her with squinting eyes.

She blinked at him, patted Su Ziyue's shoulder, and said, "I'll go over now. Let's continue this chat later.

After watching An Xia walk away, Su Ziyue returned to her seat and quietly asked Qin Muchen, "Do you know who Gong Shuzhe gave Su Yige to that night at Lumiere Jade House?"

Qin Muchen was busy peeling shrimp for Qin Zixi, and he casually glanced at Su Ziyue before replying, "Why? Does she want to acknowledge her son's ancestry?"

In response, Su Ziyue pinched Qin Muchen's waist ruthlessly. "What nonsense are you talking about? I'm just casually asking. You always have prejudices against her, but she has changed a lot now."

"Just casually asking?" Qin Muchen wiped his hands and said, "That means you're dying to know."

"Qin Muchen!"

Alas, the man began serving Su Ziyue dishes expressionlessly. "Eat more. You eat even less than Zixi. I gave them a massive red envelope. Who knows when it'll pay off? We should eat as much as we can.

Si Ziyue was rendered speechless.
