Marry Me Quick

Chapter 317

Early on the next morning, Su Ziyue didn’t even have time to eat breakfast before she went directly to work because she had too many things to do in the company.

When she was heading out, Qin Muchen hadn’t even changed into his clothes yet and he seemed to be in low spirits.

He hugged her for a while before letting her go. “I’ll come have lunch with you at noon.”

“Alright, but I’m very busy, so I may not have time to have lunch with you.” With her bag in her hands, Su Ziyue looked back at him while dragging herself out of the door.

Then, Qin Muchen watched Su Ziyue’s car disappear into the distance before turning around and going back to the room.

He slowly changed into a straight suit before calling Gu Hanyan.

“Come meet me at Lumiere Jade House in half an hour.”

Gu Hanyan, who just received Qin Muchen’s call, was instantly delighted. She had liked Qin Muchen for so many years that it had become a habit of hers to have her hopes up for him no matter how he treated her.

With that, Qin Muchen hung up.

Meanwhile, Gu Hanyan fell into deep thought with her phone in her hand.

Why did Qin Muchen ask her to meet him at Lumiere Jade House?

Did Grandpa call Qin Muchen after she called him last time?

Thinking of this possibility, a victorious smile flashed across Gu Hanyan’s face.

When Gu Hanyan arrived, she found that Qin Muchen was already waiting for her.

Seeing this, joy flashed across Gu Hanyan’s face. Qin Muchen actually waited for her here in advance. It seemed like he really asked her to meet him because of his grandfather after all.

She was both pleased as well as a little sad at the same time.

She walked over and said insincerely, “Sorry for being late.”

As she spoke, she slowly sat down opposite him.

“Here, have a cup of tea.” Qin Muchen lowered his eyes. He looked calm as if nothing was wrong as he reached out and put a cup of tea in front of her.

Gu Hanyan took the tea he handed her ecstatically. Looking at Qin Muchen’s handsome face, she became even more excited.

Yet, she put on a calm expression and said, “Why did you ask me to come meet you today?”

“Let’s have some tea first.” Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.

Qin Muchen did not answer her question and instead lifted his cup and took a sip of tea.

Gu Hanyan didn’t know what Qin Muchen was thinking, so she could only do as he said.

Still, Qin Muchen refused to cut straight to the chase. Finally, he looked up at her and lifted the teapot before saying, “Finish the cup of tea, and I’ll pour some more tea for you.”

Gu Hanyan glanced at him suspiciously but still picked up the teacup and finished the cup of tea in one breath.

Seeing this, Qin Muchen poured some more tea for her and asked her with no change in his expression, “How is the taste?”

“It's not bad. I heard from Grandpa before that you’re great at making tea, but I have never had a chance to drink the tea you make.”

While Gu Hanyan was speaking, Qin Muchen had already poured more tea into the teacup in front of her. Thus, she picked it up and took another sip.

After Qin Muchen put down the teapot, the expression on his face gradually turned cold, and a cruel look appeared in his eyes. “I’m indeed good at making tea. I added some sterilizing agent in it.”

“Cough… Cough...”

Hearing him, Gu Hanyan started to cough violently.

Qin Muchen leaned on his char with a dark expression and said with a faint chill in his voice, “Why are you so surprised? I’m sure that you would’ve thought of such an outcome when you did such a terrible thing back then.”

Gu Hanyan had killed his child, so she should face retribution.

And he...

If he was more caring and concerned toward Su Ziyue at that time, the tragic incident and the subsequent events wouldn’t have happened.

That was his retribution.

Su Ziyue might not be able to forgive him for the rest of his life.

Gu Hanyan knew that Qin Muchen was not the type of person to joke about such things. He must have been serious when he said that he had added in some sterilizing agent.

She looked at Qin Muchen as color drained from her face. “Muchen! How can you treat me like this?! We have known each other for so many years, and I am even your grandfather’s savior! Besides, Su Ziyue’s child may not be yours. I’m sure you know that she used to hook up with Gong Zeyang!”

Gu Hanyan was so anxious that she just spewed out anything that came to her mind.

If she was a little calmer, she wouldn’t have mentioned Su Ziyue under such circumstances as that

would undoubtedly add fuel to the fire.

After she finished speaking, she put a finger in the back of her throat and tried to make herself gag so that she could puke the tea she just drank. She didn’t care about her image anymore.

However, there was no way that Qin Muchen would let her do this.

Qin Muchen grabbed her chin quickly and looked at her coldly. “You killed my child, so don’t even think of having your own child in this life. Gu Hanyan, do you really think that I don’t know what you’ve done just because I have not dealt with you?”

As he was grabbing Gu Hanyan’s chin, she was forced to raise her head, and she was unable to even speak clearly.

“Grandpa... won’t...”

Hearing this, Qin Muchen squeezed her chin with even more force. The hostility on his face intensified as he said, “How dare you mention my grandfather?! My grandfather has always had professional nutritionists and the best doctors around him. There’s no way that he’ll get so sick all of a sudden like that! Plus, he even almost died!”

It had only dawned on him after he calmed down. Although his grandfather had always had some chronic ailments, he had taken good care of his health all this while.

Plus, he would contact the doctor regularly to ask about his grandfather’s condition. Yet, his grandfather had become so seriously ill out of a sudden.

Gu Hanyan’s expression changed and fear was evident in her eyes. “I-I don’t understand what you’re saying!”

Qin Muchen suddenly let go of her chin and pushed her aside before he retracted his hand. Then, he wiped his hand repeatedly with the towel from the tea tray and continued, “Grandpa has always treated you well. You’re the one who has a death wish.”

He had only suspected Gu Hanyan at first, but he was completely certain now that he saw her reaction.

However, he still hadn’t found out until now what Gu Hanyan gave his grandfather to make him suddenly relapse from his old illness and almost died.

Gu Hanyan could tell from Qin Muchen’s words that he already knew everything. There was no use for her to continue denying it.

With a twisted expression, Gu Hanyan said, “You were the one who rebelled against Grandpa for Su Ziyue. I did this to help Grandpa and also to help you. He doesn’t want you to be with Su Ziyue, after all. You can’t rebel against him for a mere woman! I was just helping you!”

Gu Hanyan knew that Qin Muchen had already found out everything, so she no longer concealed her thoughts.

From the beginning, she had always looked down on Su Ziyue.

To her, Su Ziyue was just a decent-looking immature girl. So what if she was pretty?

However, she later realized that she had underestimated how important Su Ziyue was to Qin Muchen,

and thus she began to worry.

As a result, she began to take advantage of anyone she could.

She took advantage of Gong Zeyang, Su Yige, the family doctor and Grandpa.

Qin Muchen just ignored Gu Hanyan’s words and looked at her coldly. “Save your explanations for when you meet Grandpa. You can also ask him to forgive you then.”

Gu Hanyan’s eyes widened at once. “No!”

She only managed to be successful because Qin Yuchuan was helping her. If Qin Yuchuan knew that she had harmed him, he might kill her, let alone help her.
