Chapter 295
Chapter 295
Qin Muchen had a lot of things he wanted to explain to her.
He wanted to tell her that things were not as what she thought they were, and that he could settle everything perfectly.
However, it would sound like he was finding excuses for himself if he explained his reasons to her right now. With that, his face turned pale.
He wasn’t very good at talking since young; when he was a kid, his mother thought that he had autism. In reality, he just didn’t like to talk. When he was fourteen years old, his mother passed away and he ventured into entrepreneurship. Whether it was a business meeting or persuading his customers, everything seemed very easy to him.
However, he couldn’t bring himself to open his mouth right now; it was as if his lips were being sewn together. Moreover, he was unable to say those words either.
Su Ziyue’s heart sank gradually as he remained silent.
Su Ziyue said calmly, “I’ll take it as a yes if you don’t say anything. Besides, you’re not a child anymore. Even though the company is yours and you can do whatever you want with it, you have to look after the staff in your company. Plus, your behavior will bring unnecessary trouble to me as well; it might even cause misunderstandings among other people.” Su Ziyue lowered her eyes and looked outside the window before she continued, “Moreover, I’m not sure how many parties will keep a close eye on you since you’ve taken the initiative to invest in Yanyue Media this time. I suppose I’ll be very busy for the
following days; let’s continue with our divorce procedure after we settle everything else. I hope this will be the last time we discuss this matter.”
The expression on Qin Muchen’s face looked quite gloomy. One couldn’t tell what he was thinking about.
He didn’t reply to Su Ziyue directly and changed the subject instead. “The dishes are getting cold.”
“Alright then, let’s eat first.”
As she finished, Su Ziyue took several steps and strode toward the dining room.
She shouldn’t have stayed for the meal today. Still, she thought she would do so to fulfill her last selfish wish—she missed the dishes Qin Muchen made.
…
After she left the villa, Gu Hanyan could no longer conceal her anger and let it show on her face. She got into her car furiously, stepped on the gas and sped all the way back.
Su Ziyue! Whether it was two years before or after, Su Ziyue had ruined all her plans!
She couldn’t wrap her mind around what was so good about Su Ziyue that Qin Muchen was willing to wait for her for two years.
Two years ago, she once thought that if she was given a chance for Qin Muchen to know her, she was
certain that he would notice the goodness in her. Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.
However, she seldom had the chance to meet Qin Muchen in the past two years. If it wasn’t for Qin Yuchuan, whose illness kept relapsing unpredictably, Qin Muchen would have annulled their engagement a long time ago.
No, I have been waiting for years before I finally got engaged to Qin Muchen. I can’t give up just like that. Supposedly I’d have more chances if… Su Ziyue disappears?
She could no longer differentiate whether her feelings toward Qin Muchen was love or habit. She only knew that she wanted to be Mrs. Qin and the President of LK Group’s wife.
If this was how it should be, Su Ziyue could not blame her for being ruthless and cold-hearted.
Honk! Suddenly, a deafening honk of a car could be heard. Gu Hanyan raised her head immediately as a ray of blinding light shone on her face. She steered the steering quickly with all her might and narrowly missed the oncoming car. Still, her car crashed into a guardrail beside the road.
She wasn’t injured, but her heart pounded rapidly.
She had been thinking about Su Ziyue just now; it caused her to lose focus and almost got her involved in a car accident.
While she was in shock after narrowly escaping a car accident, a person came to mind.
She took out a cell phone from the compartment in the car. After hiding the phone number and
activating the voice changer, she dialed a number.
Her call was answered after ringing for a long time.
“Who is this?”
“Su Ziyue is back. Did you know that, Young Mistress Gong?”
Gu Hanyan disconnected the call immediately after saying that.
…
The duo had their dinner at a steady pace without being too fast nor too slow. For some unknown reason, it gave them both a sad feeling of separation, which reminded Su Ziyue of the last supper.
She laughed at herself in a self-deprecating manner as she stuffed another two mouthfuls of rice into her mouth, finishing all the dishes and rice in her bowl before putting her chopsticks down. “I’m full.”
Qin Muchen raised his head and looked at her when she said that.
“I’ll leave first.” As she finished, she rose, took her handbag and walked outside.
The way she walked out was determined and didn’t seem like she was reluctant to leave the house at all.
Qin Muchen remained seated at the dining table without moving an inch for a very long time.
He stared at the spot where Su Ziyue had been just now. Complicated feelings flickered in his dark eyes.
He thought he could persuade Su Ziyue to come back to him again using his old ways.
However, the sudden appearance of Gu Hanyan today ruined everything.
Nonetheless, he would never let things go just like that. He couldn’t bring himself to do so.
…
Early next morning, Su Ziyue woke up at the crack of dawn as usual.
She looked at herself in the mirror to find two huge dark circles around her eyes. Su Ziyue felt a little helpless. Much to her surprise, she suffered from insomnia.
However, she didn’t allow herself much time to sigh over this. She went straight to the office after making herself look presentable.
She came across Gu Hanyan’s news recommended by the search engine again when she switched on her computer and checked the news.
‘Famous movie star, Gu Hanyan, involved in a car accident last night…’
It was such an attention-grabbing and interesting title. She wasn’t sure about what others thought of it, but Su Ziyue couldn’t resist the temptation to check out the news as soon as she saw the title.
However, when she clicked into the article, she realized it was just clickbait designed to attract reader’s attention without much content.
The article roughly reported on Gu Hanyan’s minor car accident last night. However, she wasn’t injured. According to the official announcement published by her agency in response to the accident, Gu Hanyan had a car accident because she was too tired from all the filming she had recently.
Several photos were published in the article as well. Even though exact details of the accident were not known, the photos were obviously taken by paparazzi in secret.
Besides, the location in the photos was a junction not far away from Cloud Bay.
What Gu Hanyan said was true; there were lots of paparazzi following her at any given moment, hoping to get some different valuable news and photos.
Ding! Suddenly, her telephone rang from the side.
Su Ziyue took a look at the telephone and noticed it was a call from the reception through the internal company phone line.
Li Qingluo might be on the phone now, so the front desk called her directly instead.
She answered the call and asked, “Is there anything?”
The girl at the reception had a very sweet voice. Probably because she had been reprimanded by Su Ziyue last time, she sounded very polite now. “Director Su, we have a lady here who claims to be your cousin. She wants to see you.”
My cousin? Su Yige! Why would Su Yige want to see me?
She almost forgot about the members of the Su Family all these years.
However, even if people from the Su Family didn’t come looking for her, she would go and find them sooner or later. After all, those people from the Su Family knew the most about what had happened to her father.
“Bring her up here,” Su Ziyue ordered before she hung up the phone.
Soon, someone knocked on the door. “Director Su.”
“Come in.” As Su Ziyue replied, she rummaged through her desk for the documents she needed.
The next moment, her office door was pushed open. The receptionist had brought Su Yige into the office.
“I’ll be heading out first, Director Su.” The receptionist went out consciously after leading Su Yige into the office.
Then, Su Ziyue heard Su Yige’s voice. “Where have you been for the past two years, Ziyue? Is everything going well?”
Su Ziyue raised her head and smiled enigmatically at Su Yige as she pointed at a chair opposite her. “Have a seat.”
