Chapter 209


    Looking in the direction of the kitchen, Su Ziyue walked over after some thought. “I’m not hungry now,


    so you don’t have to call me for lunch.”


    With that, she turned to walk upstairs without even giving Qin Muchen a nce.


    Recalling what Su Ziyue had said earlier, Bai Jingshu nudged Qin Muchen’s shoulder. “Did both of you


    quarrel again?”


    His face cold, Qin Muchen gave him a nce without saying a word.


    Bai Jingshu touched his nose, deciding not to ask further.


    During lunch, Su Ziyue stayed upstairs.


    This meal was initially to celebrate Su Ziyue’s hospital discharge. Without the main lead, and due to the


    continuous cold aura that Qin Muchen was emitting the entire time, the whole dining hall felt extremely


    suffocating.


    Hurriedly, Bai Jingshu finished his meal and dragged Gu Hanyan away.


    When Qin Muchen put down his chopsticks, he heard footstepsing from behind him.


    Looking back, it was Su Ziyue.


    She stood at the dining hall’s door, unidentifiable emotions on her face. “I need to return to the Su


    residence.”


    Hearing ‘Su Residence’ from her mouth, Qin Muchen knitted his eyebrows. “Do you have to go today?


    You just got discharged from the hospital.”


    Su Ziyue turned a deaf ear to the objection in his words and just said in a t tone, “I’ve already called


    a taxi. I’m just informing you.”


    With that, she turned to leave.


    After her footsteps vanished out the door, Qin Muchen lost control and abruptly swept the tes on the


    dining table in front of him to the floor.


    The crisp sound of tes shattering sliced through the air.


    The next second, he dashed out.


    The taxi hadn’t arrived, so Su Ziyue waited at the entrance of the vi.


    Due to the location of the vi, taxis seldom drove here. She had to pay several times the price to


    finally book a taxi when she made the booking.


    From afar, she spotted the taxi. But when she was about to walk there, someone pulled her wrist from


    behind.


    Needless to think, she knew it was him.


    Suppressing her impatience, Su Ziyue let out a long sigh and turned back to look at him in annoyance.


    “Can we talk about it after Ie back? I have matters to attend to at the Su Residence.”


    Seeing that her face was still pale and how she had lost weight after a few days of hospitalization, the


    dark clouds on Qin Muchen’s face slightly lifted. “I’ll send you there.”


    “I…”


    “I need to settle things at thepany, so I’ll just drop you off.”


    With that, Qin Muchen pulled her into the car without giving her a chance to reject him. Su Ziyue didn’t


    dare to struggle because the wound on her back hadn’t recovered.


    Closing the car door, Qin Muchen then turned to look at the taxi that had pulled over in front of him.


    After paying the fee, he returned to the car.


    Su Ziyuey against the car seat, facing to the side. Throughout the journey, they didn’t speak to each


    other.


    Once they arrived at the entrance of the Su Residence, Su Ziyue got out of the car after opening the


    door. Her actions were hasty as if she couldn’t stand to be with him a second longer.


    Dark clouds could be seen in Qin Muchen’s ck eyes as he suppressed his emotions. Clenching his


    fists, he didn’t utter a word.


    Once Su Ziyue entered the Su Residence, she saw Su Youcheng, who was sitting in the center of the


    hall.


    “Grandpa, I’m back.”


    Su Ziyue greeted Su Youcheng while slowly approaching him.


    “You’re back. Come and sit.” Su Youcheng put down the tea cup in his hand and raised his head to look


    at her.


    Su Ziyue walked over and sat on the opposite side of Su Youcheng. Then, she pretended to casually


    look around. “Why isn’t Yige here?”


    “Don’t bother about her!”

    Su Youcheng’s expression changed when Su Yige was mentioned.


    Naturally, Su Ziyue knew what the reason was. However, she didn’t finish reading the news earlier, so


    she wasn’t sure what had happened in between. Because of that, she shouldn’t bber.


    Realizing that talking in that way in front of Su Ziyue was inappropriate, he awkwardly coughed once


    before asking, “I heard that you’re ill. Are you feeling better now?”


    Su Ziyue raised her head to look at Su Youcheng and smiled faintly. “Nothing serious. I’m almost


    recovered now, but I might be unable to report to work at the office these few days.”


    Su Youcheng shook his head repeatedly, sounding concerned. “Don’t worry about that. Health should


    be prioritized.”


    “Thank you for your concern, grandpa.” Su Ziyue’s smile on her face didn’t meet her eyes.


    At that point, Su Ziyue finally figured out that he must have a favor to ask of her.


    Otherwise, he wouldn’t be so nice to her.


    What Su Youcheng said subsequently confirmed her supposition.


    “Ziyue, you were previously in charge of the LK coboration case. Are you still in touch with the


    president of LK? It’s almost the end of the year, and partners should visit each other.”


    Su Youcheng minced his words in an official manner, and it didn’t sound strange at first.


    However, Su Ziyue knew that Su Group and Mu Group had been coborating for years. Now, Mu


    Group was definitely in a poor situation, so Su Youcheng was eagerly trying to ride on LK’s coattails.


    Su Ziyue answered bluntly, “We’re not in contact.”


    “That’s not right. LK is not only our partner but client too.” Su Youcheng shook his head repeatedly and


    continued sternly, “How about this. You contact the secretary of LK’s president and make an


    appointment. I’ll meet up with him…”


    Su Ziyue automatically ignored what Su Youcheng said after that.


    She lightly interrupted, “Grandpa, do you think that I’d definitely agree to do it once you ask?”


    Upon hearing that, Su Youcheng’s face turned cold. “Ziyue!”


    Su Ziyue wasn’t afraid of him.


    Perhaps she was triggered by Qin Muchen’s incident earlier, so she wasn’t afraid of anything now and


    had the impulse of risking everything


    Straightening her back and keeping away her smile, Su Ziyue said in a cold deep voice, “Grandpa, let’s


    be straightforward and not resort to insinuations. Just tell me what you want me to do for you, but if you


    ask me for a favor, you should make some sort of contribution too.”


    His thoughts exposed by her, Su Youcheng’s expression instantly became cold and stern. “Su Ziyue,


    don’t be arrogant even though you have a backing. If the Su family didn’t support you, do you think—”


    Su Ziyue sprung up. “The Su family supports me? May I know what did the Su family do, or what effort


    did they make to support me? If you can list out one thing, I’ll help you unconditionally.”


    “You!” Su Youchen choked on his words and couldn’t say anything at that moment.


    The shares that had been given to Su Ziyue were rightfully hers, which was left by Su Yizi to her.


    Besides, the president of LK even interfered in that matter. As for the others…


    Only then did Su Youcheng realize that he rarely cared about his granddaughter.


    But after thinking about it another way, he snorted. “You asked for it!”


    “Yes, I indeed asked for it. There are so many surnames, yet I have the surname ‘Su’!”


    Su Ziyue sneered. “If you want to ride on the coattails of LK, exchange it with my father’s news.


    Otherwise, the consequences the Mu family are suffering will be the future of Su Group.”


    Her voice had a trace of ferociousness, causing Su Youcheng to look terrified. Was his granddaughter


    threatening him?


    “Chairman Su, consider well.” Su Ziyue then left in a huff.


    Su Youcheng staggered and almost couldn’t breathe. Seeing that, the maid quickly ran to him and


    supported him so he didn’t fall.
