Chapter 195

Sigh!

For the first time ever, Su Youcheng let out a long sigh.

Then, he leaned back, looking worn out. He had lived out half of his life and thrived in the business world for years.

Although he couldn’t say that he had succeeded in everything, he still sailed through life smoothly. Of course, his effort and hard work were not to be ignored.

However, he did not expect that his family would be such a disappointment.

His eldest son, whom he had great expectations of, was jailed because he killed someone. Now, his daughter-in-law was involved in a murder case too.

When Su Youcheng was young, he was also spirited and dignified. But he did not expect that he would lose his virtues in old age.

Having a disappointing son and an evil daughter-in-law, he couldn’t imagine how he would be denounced by the public in the future.

Compared to these, Su Ziyue’s issues seemed forgivable.

His family getting involved in a murder case and getting jailed were destroying Su Youcheng’s pride.

Thinking of that, Su Youcheng sighed emotionally. “How disappointing!”

“Auntie isn’t that kind of person. Grandpa, could there be some misunderstanding?” Su Ziyue weighed her words and asked in a soft voice.

“The police have made it very clear to me. What misunderstanding can there be? I’m so embarrassed!”

After finishing his sentence, Su Youcheng glared straight ahead with widened eyes, his face turning pale with rage.

Upon hearing that, Su Ziyue could only lower her eyes and save her questions.

It seemed like Zhou Lingyu was indeed involved in the murder.

What could be Zhou Lingyu’s motive?

Su Ziyue couldn’t figure out this point.

That time, the police had said that Xu Youran was found in the staff dorm, which meant that she was a staff member of the hot spring.

What kind of connection could there be between a woman, who worked at a hot spring, and a wealthy woman?

Suddenly, an idea hit Su Ziyue. She managed to grasp a vague notion, but she was unable to form a

coherent thought at the moment. Therefore, her brain felt like a muddled mess.

She had to straighten her thoughts.

“Grandpa, don’t be too angry. Health is your priority, and you still have to preside over the company. If there’s anything I can help with, please tell me. I’ll try my best to help.”

After saying a few more pleasant sentences to comfort Su Youcheng, Su Ziyue finally went out.

After she went back to her office, only then did she start to try to make heads or tails out of this matter.

Xu Youran and Zhou Lingyu obviously didn’t share a direct mutually beneficial relationship.

From what Su Ziyue knew, the reason they were connected dated back to four years ago, when Xu Youran exposed Su Ziyue’s abortion.

The abortion certificate that she showed was real, and she even had real photos where Su Ziyue visited the gynecology department.

The photo was real because she had indeed gone to a gynecologist. That year, her menstrual cycle wasn’t regular, so she went to get a check up. Unexpectedly, someone took a photo of her and even exploited it.

However, she could understand that because Su Yige had already begun plotting and scheming against her at that time.

Back then, Xu Youran had just transferred to their class, and she only sat quietly in the corner, keepingNôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

an extremely low profile.

It was also because Xu Youran, who was always taciturn, was the one who exposed that incident, even providing photos and the abortion certificate, and that was why everyone was convinced.

Besides, Su Ziyue was the prettiest girl in the school, so many girls were jealous of her.

Public clamor could obscure the truth.

It was actually a rumor that was yet to be verified, but it became more and more convincing through the mouths of the public.

In the end, everyone believed it, and she would be discussed wherever she went.

At last, Su Youcheng’s disdain of her grew, so he gave her a card before sending her overseas. He had never cared for her since then.

Until four years later, she came back, holding on to her resentment.

Su Ziyue rubbed her temple while she recalled Xu Youran’s expression when she bumped into her at the hot spring.

Back then, she didn’t realize that she was Xu Youran.

For some reason, Xu Youran seemed delighted when she thought that Su Ziyue knew her.

Su Ziyue couldn’t understand that.

Right at that moment, An Xia came in.

As soon as An Xia entered, she asked her, “You went to the police station again? Is everything fine?”

Su Ziyue shook her head. “I’m fine.”

After staying silent for a while, she asked An Xia, “Oh, how much do you know about Xu Youran?”

“About her?” Hearing Su Ziyue’s question, An Xia sank into her memories.

After recalling the past for a short while, she shook her head. “I don’t know much about her either. I only know that she dropped out of school before attending the college entrance exam.”

Su Ziyue looked surprised. “Why? I remember that she did well in her studies that time, and she always ranked top in the grade.”

With such outstanding results, why would Xu Youran give up the college entrance exam?

“No one knows why. After all, no one in the class was close to her back then.” Speaking about that, An Xia smiled. “But many of them believed her when she framed you.”

An Xia sneered after saying that. “I bet all of them were just jealous of you.”

Su Ziyue lifted her head to look at An Xia and realized that after knowing her for years, she hadn’t changed much.

Even until now, Su Ziyue couldn’t understand why Su Yige hated her so deeply.

Since they were young, Su Yige received more attention than her and was more outstanding than her.

However, Su Yige was determined to cross her in everything. Su Yige even stopped her from bidding farewell to An Xia before she left.

She remembered Su Yige’s arrogant look back then. “Get out of this country now, and never come back in this life. You were just bestowed with the surname ‘Su’, so don’t dream of getting anything from the Su family. You want to contact your friend, don’t you? I’m really curious how someone like you can have friends. But you’d better not contact her, or else I can’t guarantee what I’ll do to her…”

How deeply did Su Yige hate her? She left no place for Su Ziyue to stand in the Su family and had even forbidden her from contacting her only friend, An Xia.

She just wanted Su Ziyue to lose everything she had.

Whenever Su Ziyue thought of it, she would feel astounded. How jealous did she make Su Yige feel, to the point that Su Yige had to crush her with all means?

Coming back to reality from the past, Su Ziyue smiled and said, “Why would they be jealous of me? I’m just a person with a bad reputation.”

“You’re pretty.” Sitting on the opposite of Su Ziyue, An Xia rested her chin on her hand while looking at her.

Upon hearing that, Su Ziyue raised her eyes to look at An Xia while reaching out to pinch her face.

“You’re pretty too. Otherwise, why would Bai Jingshu want to date you?”

“What nonsense are you talking about?” An Xia swatted Su Ziyue’s hand away and turned her head to the other side, feeling extremely awkward.

Smiling, Su Ziyue remained silent. Bai Jingshu treated An Xia very differently. As an outsider, she noticed it, but she wasn’t sure if An Xia realized it too.

Anyway, as a friend, she shouldn’t meddle in their business. It was An Xia’s own choice to make.

Therefore, Su Ziyue shook her head, pretending that she hadn’t said that last sentence while saying solemnly, “It’s not nonsense. You’re very pretty.”

Then, she added, “Bai Jingshu has good taste.”

“Su Ziyue!”

“Well, it’s time to get off work.”
