Chapter 221
Su Ziyue glanced at Su Youcheng’s worried expression but did not pity him at all.
“Isn’t this a good thing? The Su Family will be adding a new member soon,” Su Ziyue said half-jokingly. “Who knows,
perhaps this good news can drive all the bad news away.”
Su Ziyue was just making a casual statement, but what she said actually sent Su Youcheng into deep thought.
It was as if he thought whether this matter was just like what she said.
She only felt the irony of this entire matter.
All of the people in the Su Family were cold-blooded.
Not only did they not have any feelings, but they didn’t even have any conscience at all.
She felt that there was no point beating about the bush with her grandfather, so she decided to be straightforward
about things.
“Grandpa, I’m here today to ask you about what I discussed with you previously. I want to know if you’ve considered
it.”
She was smiling, and her tone was soft.
But on hearing this, Su Youcheng’s expression changed drastically, and he roared, “Su Ziyue! You’re disgraceful!”
“Su Yige would never be disgraceful. But how about the matter where she framed me? What do you think about
that?” Su Ziyue suddenly looked up at Su Youcheng with a burning gaze.
Although she no longer cared about the Su Family, she still couldn’t help but want to ask Su Youcheng about it now.
“W-What?” He was stunned for a moment before returning to his senses.
Awkwardness flashed across his face as he said, “That’s just a rumor. The outsiders were just talking crap…”
He faltered and could not continue speaking under Su Ziyue’s scorching gaze.
Xu Youran’s case involved Zhou Lingyu. So, he knew a thing or two about what happened in the past.
But to him, if those past happenings were to be exposed now, the Su Family would be thrown into more disgrace.
Su Yige had spent a lot of effort to get married into the Gong Family, so she could not afford any more disgraceful
incidents to occur to her.

Su Youcheng’s mindset was selfish and practical at the same time.
Although Su Ziyue could not guess everything that was going on in his mind, she knew a thing or two about it.
She laughed coldly and said, “Really? Grandpa, you’ve become much more clear-headed the older you are. In the
past, people used to talk about how I got entangled with men and had an abortion, and you believed everything
without hesitation then. Now you’ve become much more clear-headed and stopped trusting others so easily. This is
really good news!”
“You…” Embarrassment flashed across Su Youcheng’s face. Fury rose in his heart, and he frowned deeply, but he
couldn’t say a word.
Su Ziyue stood up and adjusted her jacket slowly. She towered over Su Youcheng and looked down on him as she
said, “Grandpa, I’ll talk more with you about LK Group’s president when you have information about my dad.”
Maintaining the smile on her face, Su Ziyue turned and walked out.
She had just reached the door when she heard a loud bang from behind her.
Even without turning her head, she knew that he was so furious that he was smashing something.
But, so what?
Su Youcheng had never considered her as his granddaughter, so she didn’t need to be filial and respectful toward
him either.
...
In the hall downstairs.
Su Ziyue came down from upstairs and immediately saw Qin Muchen sitting on the recliner.
He was scrolling on his phone with his long fingers and staring at the screen seriously.
Su Yuanming and the woman were sitting on one side, while Su Yige and Gong Zeyang sat on the other side. Not
only were both sides not talking, but they also had no eye contact either.
The atmosphere in the hall was rather awkward.
No wonder Su Yige and Su Yuanming were arguing with each other. Even though both of them did not care much
about Zhou Lingyu, they had big egos.
Not to mention the fact that the new woman was now pregnant. Su Yige probably felt unhappy about the fact that
there would be another extra person to share the family estate now.
Su Ziyue’s thoughts were running in her mind, and she slowed down as she came down the stairs.
“Come here.”
She heard Qin Muchen’s voice and looked toward him. He had put away his phone and was looking at her, so she
quickened her pace and went over to him.
As she neared, Qin Muchen pulled her into his arms and made her sit on his lap.
“There are people here…” She was embarrassed and felt uneasy that he was flirting with her in public.
Hearing this, Qin Muchen frowned and got up, then walked with her to another area and sat down there.
He appeared bored as he played with her fingers while they were sitting.
Spreading her fingers open, then gripping them tightly but not forcefully.
The others were startled at their flirtatious actions with each other.
But Su Ziyue could not be bothered by them at all.
Seeing that Qin Muchen kept repeating his action, she thought that he was feeling bored, so she asked in a low
voice, “How about we go home now?”
“No.” Qin Muchen shook his head decisively.
Then he added, “We haven’t eaten dinner yet.”
The great President Qin does not want to leave because he hasn’t had dinner yet?
She found this reason rather amusing.
At this moment, he suddenly grabbed at the chance to pinch her cheek, so she glared at him sternly.
Qin Muchen put her fingers together, pinched her fingertips, then pulled her hand toward his lips and kissed it.
Su Ziyue wanted to retract her hand but couldn’t. She could only turn her head away in frustration.
...
On the other side, Su Yige watched the two of them flirting with each other. She curled her fingers into fists and
even hurt her palms doing so.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLiving with the Gong Family, her life hadn’t been smooth.
Gong Zeyang had only seduced her once during their wedding night and never touched her again after that.
Madam Gong did not want to talk to her at all, while Gong Shuzhe was also very distant toward her.
She had thought that she would win once she got married into the Gong Family. Moreover, she didn’t mind
everything else and thought that she would have ways to change how the Gong Family members perceive her.
But now that she had watched how Qin Muchen and Su Ziyue interacted with each other like a genuine couple, the
jealousy and hatred within her heart rose up and flooded over like a tsunami.
She turned to look at Gong Zeyang beside her and saw that he was also looking toward the other two. She was so
angry that she wanted to explode, but she had to keep it in.
“I’m going to check on the kitchen to see when dinner will be served.”
Whoosh. She stood up and walked toward the direction of the kitchen.
...
During dinner, Su Ziyue realized that tonight there were not only Su Family’s immediate members but also other
relatives as well.
These people were invited by Su Yuanming.
Obviously, he was trying very hard to force Su Youcheng to agree to the relationship between that woman and him.
“Congratulations!”
Some of those people did not know how to read the room and even congratulated Su Yuanming.
Su Youcheng’s face had darkened to the extreme.
Su Yuanming completely ignored Su Youcheng’s expression and smilingly replied, “Thank you.”
Su Ziyue couldn’t help but glance at that woman again, but she still felt that the woman looked rather ordinary.
But she had the ability to make Su Yuanming risk Su Youcheng’s pressure and brought her back to the Su Family at
all costs. She really was somewhat capable.
Perhaps Su Ziyue had been gazing too much at the woman. Qin Muchen felt the need to tell her the truth.
He tilted his head and whispered something in her ear. Suddenly, her entire body froze as she said, “What did you
say?”
