Chapter 16
Su Ziyue balefully glared at Su Yige. Twisting the facts had always been the latter’s specialty.
That night with Qin Muchen had indeed been a lapse in judgement. He probably married her out of guilt. She instinctively knew that Qin Mucheng wasn’t that kind of improper person.
“Grandpa, I do not care what you say about me, but I would have to ask you not to simply accuse a man that you have never even met before. You are the one in charge of the Su Family. You have authority as well as your own judgement. Do not be misled by others.”
Su Ziyue fixed Su Yige with a frosty look, a cutting iciness on her pretty face making her look even more deadly.
Su Yige bit her lip and fell silent. Plenty of men liked Su Ziyue’s cold appearance, so she thought of ways to ruin her reputation, but she hadn’t expected that there would be someone who would still be willing to marry her. She had thought that even if some other man got together with Su Ziyue, it would be just so that he could have some fun at most.
“You do not care? Are you saying that I am wrongly accusing you?” Su Youcheng’s fury could not be dammed up. He had lived for so many years now. How dare his own granddaughter talk to him in that lecturing tone?
Su Ziyue’s expression did not change as she spoke the opposite of what she thought. “Grandpa, you had been right during your lectures. I am the one who is nothing, but blood relations cannot be changed. I have always respected you and I have always admired how your words carry a great weight
to them.”
She knew that Su Youcheng cared very much about blood relations, and that he also liked it when people buttered him up, so if she struck from here, the shares would be hers!
Just as expected, Su Youcheng relented a little upon hearing her words. He waved a hand. “If that is so, then come and intern at the company first. If you perform well, I can consider giving the shares to you.”
Su Ziyue lowered her gaze, her voice soft. “Thank you, Grandpa.”
Indignation flashed across Su Yige’s face. She was always just that little bit away from making Grandpa be completely disappointed in Su Ziyue!
This time was no different. She had thought that she could take this opportunity to get Grandpa to kick her out of the Su Family. Who would have thought that Grandpa would show her leniency in the end!
Su Youcheng seemed to be tired as he waved a hand. “I shall return first. You two should catch up with each other. Please learn from Yige.”
“I shall learn from my sister.” Su Ziyue smiled as she looked at Su Yige. Su Yige returned a smile to her, but that smile was far more twisted.
Si Ziyue watched Su Youcheng’s figure disappear beyond the door before turning to look at Su Yige. Her crystalline eyes were filled with a challenging edge. “Please show me the ropes when I intern at the company!”
Su Yige quashed the fury roiling in her gut. Su Ziyue had said those words the day she returned, but Su Yige hadn’t taken them to heart. She thought that Grandpa would have completely given up on Su Ziyue after this incident.
“Relax. I’ll be sure to teach you well during your internship.”
Su Yige emphasized the words ‘teach you well’, spitting them out venomously.
Su Ziyue however was unafraid. She believed that not everyone in this world was blind and unable to see Su Yige’s true face.
“Then let me thank you in advance.” Su Ziyue’s expression did not change and she looked very much sincere.
Su Yige was so angry that she wrung her hands and left. This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.
Su Ziyue heaved a long sigh of relief upon Su Yige’s departure. After sitting down for a while, she exited the booth.
She knew that it wouldn’t be easy to get those shares back, but it was already not half-bad to be able to intern at the Su Group; at least it was way better than nothing.
Deep in thought, she hadn’t noticed the waitress heading her way with a tray in her hands while she walked.
Crash! The glasses and decanter clattered to the ground, while the red wine in the vessels splashed all
over Su Ziyue before they fell.
She was dressed in a white blouse on this day, so the red stood out remarkably.
Su Ziyue and the waitress froze.
Su Ziyue’s brow creased. She knew that it was her mistake, so she spoke up first. “I’m sorry.”
The waitress nearly burst into tears on the spot, her voice shaking as she spoke. “T-That was… a-a… Château Lafite-Rothschild from 1870…”
