Chapter 273
As soon as the car stopped, Su Ziyue pulled the car door open and walked toward the vi.
As she walked in a hurry, her whole body looked slightly unsteady. Although she was dded in a thick
coat, it did not manage to cover her thin and frail figure.
Feng Xingyan put back the cigarette which he had just pulled out before following Su Ziyue; knowing
that it was Feng Xingyan who was behind her, she did not turn around.
As the duo reached the entrance simultaneously, they heard a loud banging from the inside.
Su Ziyue became worried instantly. Just as she was about to walk inside, the vignt Feng Xingyan
stopped her and shook his head while looking at her. He gave her a ‘calm down and be quiet’ look.
Then, he took a step forward and stood in front of her, blocking her way with his body.
After that, someone’s phone started to ring. Su Ziyue knew the ringtone very well, for it belonged to Qin
Muchen’s cell phone.
Qin Muchen is in there!
Su Ziyue’s eyes flickered with excitement as she heard Qin Muchen’s voice. “Grandpa.” Then, she
heard Qin Muchen said in a discontinuous conversation. “I didn’t find her… how can a promiscuous
and disloyal woman like Su Ziyue be qualified enough to be your granddaughter-inw? Have you
seen the news? I told you before, I didn’t lie to you… yeah…”
How can a promiscuous and disloyal woman like Su Ziyue be qualified enough to be your
granddaughter-inw? Su Ziyue was so shocked that she couldn’t make a sound with her mouth open.
Unable to support herself, she stumbled unsteadily. The next moment, her eyes shut by itself and she
fainted on the spot.
Feng Xingyan caught Su Ziyue in his arms steadily. A sly and cunning look shed through his gentle
and kind face before he carried her back into the car.
…
In the living room, Qin Muchen hung up the phone. He closed his eyes, held out his hand and firmly
massaged in between his eyebrows.
The next second, he opened his eyes abruptly, took several steps forward and ran outside immediately.
He ran past the courtyard and stood at the empty main entrance. His dark eyes filled with despair and
disappointment. Why do I have… the illusion that she’s back?
…
“Qin Muchen! I’m back!”
Su Ziyue pushed the door open and entered the house happily when she saw Qin Muchen instantly.
His attractive face looked cold and distant.
Su Ziyue was slightly baffled. “What’s wrong…”
Qin Muchen snorted and said unemotionally, “Why did youe back? Do you think that I’d still want a
promiscuous and disloyal woman like you?”
“What?”
Before Su Ziyue could react, Qin Muchen’s handsome face became blurry all of a sudden. Everything
went ck…
“Ah!” Su Ziyue woke up from her nightmare with a loud scream.
“Ah!” Su Ziyue woke up from her nightmore with o loud screom.
Her heort pounded ropidly, ond it felt like it wos going to leop out of her chest. Su Ziyue pressed
ogoinst her chest tightly; shee bock to her senses only ofter o long time.
“Ziyue?”
As the door opened, Feng Xingyon wolked in from outside.
He switched on the lights in the room with o click. The originolly dork room be bright ogoin
immediotely.
“Mr. Feng.” Although Su Ziyue didn’t deny his identity, it wos somewhot difficult for her to oddress him
os ‘Uncle Xingyon’ immediotely.
“My room is just next door. I heord you screom, so Ie over to check on you. Did you hove o
nightmore?” Feng Xingyon strode toword her, holding o gloss of woter in his hond.
Su Ziyue only noticed thot the room she wos stoying in right now wosn’t the hospitol word eorlier.
Noticing thot Su Ziyue wos gloncing oround the room, Feng Xingyon exploined, “This is o house I
bought in this oreo. I thought no one would like to stoy in o hospitol, so I brought you bock here. You
don’t mind, do you?”
Su Ziyue took the gloss of woter from him ond sipped on it before she soid slowly, “How con I mind? It
hos been very troublesome for you to toke core of me…”
She never thought thot o person—whom she hod only seen o few times—would help her during the
most difficult period in her life.
Although Feng Xingyon cloimed himself to be her uncle, there wosn’t o bosis of fomiliol love between
the both of them; they were simply strongers to eoch other.
“This is something I should do, so don’t soy something like thot ever ogoin.” Feng Xingyon gozed ot her
with o serious look on his foce.
Su Ziyue sot up on the bed with her heod leoning ogoinst the bedheod. She remoined silent.
The words which she hod heord in the morning when she wos ot the entronce of Qin Muchen’s villo
continued to ring in her eors like o hypnotizing montro.
After heoring Qin Muchen soy those words, she no longer hod the couroge to question him foce to foce
ogoin.
For someone like Qin Muchen, Gu Honyon wos the perfect condidote for morrioge; everything wos
simply folling bock into ploce.
Su Ziyue wos o womon with o bod reputotion; she wos not o perfect motch for Qin Muchen in terms of
fomily bockground, oppeoronce, ocodemic ochievement ond every other woy.
Besides, Qin Muchen hod never truly trusted her before. Since the beginning, everything between them
wos unequol ond unfoir.
He hod too mony secrets in him—he wos like someone hiding in the dork shodows. She thought she
knew him very well, but in truth, everything she could see wos olwoys something he wonted to show
her. He would olwoys be the person who controlled everything.
“Ah!” Su Ziyue woke up from her nightmare with a loud scream.
Her heart pounded rapidly, and it felt like it was going to leap out of her chest. Su Ziyue pressed
against her chest tightly; she came back to her senses only after a long time.
“Ziyue?”
As the door opened, Feng Xingyan walked in from outside.
He switched on the lights in the room with a click. The originally dark room became bright again
immediately.
“Mr. Feng.” Although Su Ziyue didn’t deny his identity, it was somewhat difficult for her to address him
as ‘Uncle Xingyan’ immediately.
“My room is just next door. I heard you scream, so I came over to check on you. Did you have a
nightmare?” Feng Xingyan strode toward her, holding a ss of water in his hand.
Su Ziyue only noticed that the room she was staying in right now wasn’t the hospital ward earlier.
Noticing that Su Ziyue was ncing around the room, Feng Xingyan exined, “This is a house I
bought in this area. I thought no one would like to stay in a hospital, so I brought you back here. You
don’t mind, do you?”
Su Ziyue took the ss of water from him and sipped on it before she said slowly, “How can I mind? It
has been very troublesome for you to take care of me…”
She never thought that a person—whom she had only seen a few times—would help her during the
most difficult period in her life.

Although Feng Xingyan imed himself to be her uncle, there wasn’t a basis of familial love between
the both of them; they were simply strangers to each other.
“This is something I should do, so don’t say something like that ever again.” Feng Xingyan gazed at her
with a serious look on his face.
Su Ziyue sat up on the bed with her head leaning against the bedhead. She remained silent.
The words which she had heard in the morning when she was at the entrance of Qin Muchen’s vi
continued to ring in her ears like a hypnotizing mantra.
After hearing Qin Muchen say those words, she no longer had the courage to question him face to face
again.
For someone like Qin Muchen, Gu Hanyan was the perfect candidate for marriage; everything was
simply falling back into ce.
Su Ziyue was a woman with a bad reputation; she was not a perfect match for Qin Muchen in terms of
family background, appearance, academic achievement and every other way.
Besides, Qin Muchen had never truly trusted her before. Since the beginning, everything between them
was unequal and unfair.
He had too many secrets in him—he was like someone hiding in the dark shadows. She thought she
knew him very well, but in truth, everything she could see was always something he wanted to show
her. He would always be the person who controlled everything.
However… The hand which Su Ziyue had ced over her chest clenched into a tight fist. She clutched
the shirt around her chest tightly as her face grew paler. It feels really awful here…
“Ziyue?” Feng Xingyan’s voice snapped Su Ziyue out of her thoughts.
She raised her head and looked at Feng Xingyan with a stupefied look on her face. She then asked in
a daze, “What?”
After pondering for a while, Feng Xingyan said in a low voice, “I don’t know what happened between
you and Qin Muchen, but you’ve already grown into an adult. Therefore, you should have your own
judgement on many things. However, I’m very worried seeing the way you are right now. I want to go
and find him.”
“No!” Su Ziyue shook her head in a hurry. She pleaded, “Don’t go and find him. Just don’t go!”
“You’ve suffered so much pain, yet he wants to marry someone else; he can’t mistreat you like that. I’m
your uncle, and I will not stand here and do nothing about it. Although LK Group is way more influential
than the Feng Family, the fight will still carry on for a little while if we were to go head-on against LK
Group.” Feng Xingyan sounded very earnest. A furious expression shed through his gentle face.
Su Ziyue was touched by his words as a warm sensation spread throughout her arms and legs. So, this
is how it feels to be protected by a family.
However, she couldn’t let Feng Xingyan go and find Qin Muchen.
If Qin Muchen had really abandoned her just like that to marry someone else, the least she could do
was to keep a little dignity for herself and pull herself back together again.
Feng Xingyan frowned slightly when he saw the sad and pitiful look on Su Ziyue’s face. “Alright, I won’t
go and find him, but you must take care of yourself. If you’re willing to admit me as your uncle, please
listen to me—leave this ce for a while, ande back again after you’ve recovered.”
Leave this ce? “No…” Almost immediately, Su Ziyue wanted to reject this option involuntarily. Leave
this ce and go to a city without Qin Muchen? Just thinking about that makes me feel awful.
Feng Xingyan stood up. He looked unusually serious. “You don’t have to answer me right away; I know
you grew up here. However, as far as I’m concerned, the Su Family doesn’t treat you very well. You
can answer me after you’ve thought about it carefully. I’ve finished my business here and will be going
back to Jingcheng City these few days. We can leave any time.”
