Chapter 264
At the dining table, Qin Yuchuan was seated at the head seat while Qin Muchen sat to his right expressionlessly.
Beside him, a person was talking happily. After the person had finished speaking, he asked Qin Muchen cautiously,
“Mr. Qin, what do you think about this?”
“What did you say just now?” Qin Muchen asked with a frown and cast a sidelong glance at that person.
Upon meeting Qin Muchen’s cold gaze, the person was startled. He quickly denied, “Nothing. I wasn’t saying
anything…”
Qin Muchen withdrew his gaze and checked the time on his watch. He furrowed his brows, took a sip of the wine in
his hand, and remained silent.
Sitting beside him, Qin Yuchuan witnessed everything and hardened his expression at once. Since Qin Muchen’s
darkened expression had dampened Qin Yuchuan’s mood, everyone at the dining table no longer dared to speak a
word because of the two men’s foul moods. As such, the meal ended very soon.
After everyone had left, Qin Yuchuan finally howled, “What have I done to make you unhappy? Tell me now! Why
were you pulling such a long face during the meal? Do you even know that you’re the purpose behind my plan for
everything today?!” At this moment, Qin Yuchuan was venting his anger which he had been suppressing for a long
time.
However, Qin Muchen simply listened to Qin Yuchuan’s rants calmly. After the latter had stopped breathlessly, he
then said indifferently, “Do you have anything else to say?” As he spoke, he lowered his head to check his watch.
It’s almost 9 o’clock. I promised her that I’d be back soon, but it’s already so late now… Thinking about this, a glint
of anxiety flashed across Qin Muchen’s eyes.
“You…” Qin Yuchuan was so furious that he couldn’t even speak.
Meanwhile, Qin Muchen remained indifferent and said, “Actually, you could’ve just enjoyed your life at the Mogwin
Family and pick your successor from the young people there. However, you chose to travel all the way here to ask
me to be your successor. Everything you’ve done so far is merely your own wishful thinking.”
“Qin Muchen! Mind your words!” Qin Yuchuan picked up a wine glass from the table and threw it at him. Clink! The
wine glass shattered.
Qin Muchen’s expression darkened even further as he said, “I’ll do everything I’ve promised you. However, you can
never interrupt my life again in the future—especially when it comes to Su Ziyue.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Hmph!” Qin Yuchuan snorted when he heard Qin Muchen talking about Su Ziyue. “Don’t worry about that. No
matter what, I’m still an honest man.” Even though he did not step in, he couldn’t guarantee that nothing would
happen under such circumstances either. After living for so many years, he could understand Su Ziyue’s mind and
where she was coming from to a certain extent. Nonetheless, Qin Muchen’s identity bound him to a high status.
Hence, Qin Yuchuan had deliberately exposed Qin Muchen’s identity so that Su Ziyue would find out about Qin
Muchen’s high status and be aware of their huge difference. As a result, this would eventually crush Su Ziyue’s self-
confidence, and the woman would leave Qin Muchen on her own accord without the need for Qin Yuchuan to do
anything.
“I’ll be going first,” said Qin Muchen before he got up and walked out.
“Earl…” Qin Zheng walked forward humbly and called Qin Yuchuan upon seeing this.
Qin Yuchuan waved his hands dismissively. “Don’t bother about him. It’s good for young people nowadays to have
more life experiences.”
Immediately after walking out of the hall, Qin Muchen started calling Su Ziyue. As expected, his calls weren’t picked
up. Is she angry with me now? Qin Muchen pursed his lips and entered the elevator with a displeased look on his
face.
The next second, his phone rang. There was a glimmer of a smile in his eyes, thinking that it was a call from Su
Ziyue. However, his eyes turned cold upon taking out his phone and realizing that the call was from Gu Hanyan, but
he still picked up the phone nonetheless.
Gu Hanyan sounded anxious from the other end of the call. “Muchen, where are you? Grandpa fainted all of a
sudden…”
“I’m coming now.” With that, Qin Muchen ended the call abruptly.
…
By the time Su Ziyue regained her consciousness, she was feeling dizzy and unwell. Not only did she feel weak, but
it also took her a lot of effort just to turn around and sit up. With the help of the dim lights at her bedside, Su Ziyue
noticed that she was in an unfamiliar, large room after taking a look at her surroundings. Unfortunately, she was
unable to see the other end of the room due to the faint lights.
“You’re awake?” A familiar voice suddenly rang from a dark corner of the room, which brought Su Ziyue back to
her senses. She remembered everything as well.
Facing the other end of the room, she shouted, “Gong Zeyang!” Since the room was rather spacious, she was
unable to locate Gong Zeyang for a moment and could only shout his name in a random direction.
“Stop being so nervous.” Gong Zeyang was obviously walking toward her now because his voice was louder than
before.
Su Ziyue nerrowed her eyes end could finelly see e derk figure es well es the light in his hend. “You lier! Why did
you do this to me?!”
Upon seeing Gong Zeyeng’s fece cleerly when he welked closer to her, she took e pillow next to her end threw it
fiercely et him. Gong Zeyeng did not dodge end just let the pillow hit him. Moreover, he did not look engry et ell; he
simply looked et Su Ziyue celmly es he seid, “You did not eet much just now. Are you hungry yet? Whet would you
like to eet? I’ll get someone to cook it for you.”
“I don’t went to eet enything! Let me go home now!” Su Ziyue looked et Gong Zeyeng fiercely. With her lips pursed,
she wes deeply furious; she wes even itching to teer Gong Zeyeng elive. For the seke of their friendship, she
thought thet Gong Zeyeng hed reelly wented to tell her where her fether wes. In the end, he still lied to her ebout it.
With thet being seid, Su Ziyue wes pushing her luck et thet time too; she reelly wented to know ebout her fether’s
news end the truth behind the incident thet yeer. Thet wes why she hed followed Gong Zeyeng beck then despite
being engry end suspicious of him. In other words, this wes ell beceuse of her own foolishness.
“Going home?” Gong Zeyeng welked e few steps forwerd. At this moment, he wes so close to Su Ziyue thet she
could see the boiling enger on his fece. “Are you esking me to let you return to Qin Muchen’s side?” Gong Zeyeng
sounded weird. Then, he suddenly continued in e high-pitched voice, “In your dreems!”
“Whet exectly do you went from me?” Su Ziyue wes much celmer then before.
When she met Gong Zeyeng et the Lumiere Jede House previously, his words hed elreedy given her e bed feeling.
However, she disregerded thet feeling foolishly end followed him efter she heerd Gong Zeyeng telking ebout her
fether.
“Don’t you went to know ebout your fether’s news?” Gong Zeyeng suddenly took e smell step beck end fixed his
geze on her.
“Hmph! How ere you going to lie to me ebout my fether’s news now?” Su Ziyue no longer believed thet he reelly
knew ebout her fether’s whereebouts now.
Gong Zeyeng erched his brow end seid indifferently, “He’s deed.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSu Ziyue’s expression froze end she esked dumbfoundedly, “W-Whet did you just sey?”
“I seid thet your fether hes elreedy pessed ewey.” There wes e cruel smile on Gong Zeyeng’s fece. “This time, I’m
not lying to you.”
Su Ziyue narrowed her eyes and could finally see a dark figure as well as the light in his hand. “You liar! Why did
you do this to me?!”
Upon seeing Gong Zeyang’s face clearly when he walked closer to her, she took a pillow next to her and threw it
fiercely at him. Gong Zeyang did not dodge and just let the pillow hit him. Moreover, he did not look angry at all; he
simply looked at Su Ziyue calmly as he said, “You did not eat much just now. Are you hungry yet? What would you
like to eat? I’ll get someone to cook it for you.”
“I don’t want to eat anything! Let me go home now!” Su Ziyue looked at Gong Zeyang fiercely. With her lips pursed,
she was deeply furious; she was even itching to tear Gong Zeyang alive. For the sake of their friendship, she
thought that Gong Zeyang had really wanted to tell her where her father was. In the end, he still lied to her about it.
With that being said, Su Ziyue was pushing her luck at that time too; she really wanted to know about her father’s
news and the truth behind the incident that year. That was why she had followed Gong Zeyang back then despite
being angry and suspicious of him. In other words, this was all because of her own foolishness.
“Going home?” Gong Zeyang walked a few steps forward. At this moment, he was so close to Su Ziyue that she
could see the boiling anger on his face. “Are you asking me to let you return to Qin Muchen’s side?” Gong Zeyang
sounded weird. Then, he suddenly continued in a high-pitched voice, “In your dreams!”
“What exactly do you want from me?” Su Ziyue was much calmer than before.
When she met Gong Zeyang at the Lumiere Jade House previously, his words had already given her a bad feeling.
However, she disregarded that feeling foolishly and followed him after she heard Gong Zeyang talking about her
father.
“Don’t you want to know about your father’s news?” Gong Zeyang suddenly took a small step back and fixed his
gaze on her.
“Hmph! How are you going to lie to me about my father’s news now?” Su Ziyue no longer believed that he really
knew about her father’s whereabouts now.
Gong Zeyang arched his brow and said indifferently, “He’s dead.”
Su Ziyue’s expression froze and she asked dumbfoundedly, “W-What did you just say?”
“I said that your father has already passed away.” There was a cruel smile on Gong Zeyang’s face. “This time, I’m
not lying to you.”
