Chapter 398
After saying that, Su Ziyue put the last milk bottle into the fridge, slammed the door shut, and pushed Qin Muchen
away to make her way to boil water.
Her actions were swift yet cold.
Qin Muchen's face darkened as he subconsciously clenched his fists.
"It's just a small matter?" He croaked in a low voice to himself, but at the same time, it sounded as if he was
questioning Su Ziyue.
With her back facing Qin Muchen, Su Ziyue stood still at the spot after she plugged in the kettle.
She had clearly heard Qin Muchen's mumble. Hesitation flashed across her face, but it was immediately dismissed.
He finally came to find me after a few days, yet he was not here to explain anything to me but to ask me where the
tie pin was bought. He wouldn't have lost the tie pin if he really cherished it.
Although Su Ziyue knew Qin Muchen wouldn't be bothered with an insignificant tie pin, she was angry and
disappointed when she heard him mention that it was lost.
Oh well, I can do nothing about it since it's already lost.
"Please leave if there's nothing else." Su Ziyue inhaled deeply and spun to face Qin Muchen.
Qin Muchen stared at her with a straight face. "Don't you plan to go back yet?"
Su Ziyue was so annoyed that she laughed. "What do you mean, Qin Muchen?"
He sounded as if I'm being unreasonable for insisting on moving out. All these happened due to Lin Zixi's matter.
We mutually agreed for me to move out temporarily after the discussion, yet now he's blaming me for being willful?
"I'm taking my leave first." Qin Muchen glanced at Su Ziyue and strode toward the door.
Su Ziyue bit her lips indignantly and couldn't help asking, "What's going on between you and Yun Xianxian?"
She finally raised the question. She had retained her composure and confidence when faced with Yun Xianxian's
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtprovocation, but she couldn't keep her cool anymore when faced with Qin Muchen.
Qin Muchen's aloof voice emerged in the air. "She's just a friend."
With that, he left and closed the door with moderate force.
Su Ziyue snapped out of her daze when she heard the door close.
He said Yun Xianxian was just a friend? He looked perfectly normal, but I failed to get any information from him. It's
weird that he came here out of the blue today…
Just then, the noise from the boiling water interrupted her thoughts.
…
Su Ziyue did not have a peaceful sleep that night.
The next morning, she headed out to work as usual.
Just as she walked out of her neighborhood, a cab stopped in front of her.
Su Ziyue was grateful as she was just about to hail a cab, but the next second, a familiar figure came out of the car
– it was Su Yige.
Ashen-faced, the latter got out of the car with an anxious look. She was so flustered that she didn't even notice Su
Ziyue.
Su Ziyue frowned. Shouldn't Yige be in the hospital at this moment?
At that thought, she called out to Su Yige.
"Hey, Su Yige!"
Stunned, Su Yige quickly turned around and was relieved to see that it was Su Ziyue.
Su Yige looked around the surroundings and said, "Hey. Where are you heading to early in the morning?"
"Aren't you supposed to be in the hospital?" Su Ziyue knew Su Yige should be receiving treatment in the hospital at
that time.
"I…" There was a sudden change in Su Yige's expression. Biting her lips, she remained silent as her voice stuck in
her throat.
Su Ziyue recalled the conversation between Su Youcheng and Su Yuanming that she overheard in the hospital
yesterday. She wondered if that was why Su Yige escaped from the hospital in a panic.
Nonetheless, she decided not to ask further questions since Su Yige didn't intend to elaborate.
She smiled and said, "I'm going off to work."
Perceiving that Su Yige was reluctant to speak up, Su Ziyue turned and was about to leave.
"Wait!" Just then, Su Yige called out to her.
Su Ziyue stopped and spun to face Su Yige, gesturing for her to speak up.
"I… plan to go overseas. I'm leaving today." The first half of the sentence was tinged with hesitation, but Su Yige's
voice became increasingly firm toward the end.
When Su Ziyue heard that, she was certain that Su Yige was hiding from Su Youcheng and Su Yuanming, and she
thought it was pathetic and ridiculous.
"I see. Have a safe…" Before Su Ziyue could finish her sentence, her eyes darkened as she noticed the comers
behind Su Yige. "I'm afraid you won't be able to leave anymore." She blurted solemnly.
Su Yige turned around to see Su Youcheng walking toward her with a gang of men.
The Su family was powerful and influential. Although Su Group was acquired at a low price, the family still had other
sources of income, so it was a piece of cake for them to conquer Su Yige.
Su Yige called out in a trembling voice, "Grandpa…"
"Yige, you haven't fully recovered yet. You shouldn't run away from the hospital without permission. You used to be
an obedient girl. Come on, go back to the hospital with me." Su Youcheng approached Su Yige. His expression
turned gloomy when he noticed Su Ziyue standing behind Su Yige.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSu Yige shook her head. "I'll not go back."
Grandpa is going to make me abort the child and marry into that rich family. I refuse! My life in the past twenty-six
years has been miserable and pathetic. I don't wish to be controlled by the Su family anymore and let the tragedy
continue. I'll not yield!
Su Youcheng quickly averted his gaze from Su Ziyue and pretended not to have noticed her. "You have no other
choices." He said to Su Yige.
Su Yige was not dim-witted – she knew the only person that could help her at that moment was Su Ziyue.
She turned to gaze at Su Ziyue with her eyes filled with imploration. "Ziyue, can you help me out once again?"
Su Ziyue hesitated. I've saved her from Qin Muchen. There's no harm in helping her one more time.
Besides, Su Ziyue was a woman, too, so she sympathized with Su Yige.
Under Su Yige's hopeful gaze, Su Ziyue walked up to Su Youcheng and said, "Mr. Su, you're advanced in age.
Haven't you considered on being more kind to those around you? Yige is your granddaughter, and you've watched
her grow up. But now, is she none other than a tool to garner benefits for you?"
Su Ziyue didn't even address Su Youcheng as 'Grandpa' because she had long derecognized him.
Su Youcheng wore a cold expression as he fumed, "Don't meddle with the Su family affairs since you've already cut
ties with us."
"Sure. Let's talk about something else then."
Su Ziyue wore a solemn look. "I'll return half of Su Group's shares to you. In exchange, you have to allow Yige to go
abroad and stop meddling with her life from now on."
Su Ziyue wouldn't lose anything even if she returned half of the shares to Su Youcheng. After all, she couldn't spare
much energy to oversee Su Group, so there was no harm in returning some shares to Su Youcheng and make him
oversee the business.
