Chapter 338


    “She is my mother.”


    Qin Muchen said out loud the answer that Su Ziyue had thought about in her mind. At that moment,


    she panicked as her hand that was on the quilt unconsciously clenched tighter. Her voice was a little


    erratic as she asked, “She’s your mother?” Qin Li is Qin Muchen’s mother? She was the victim in my


    father’s case?


    She suddenly remembered how she even asked Qin Muchen to help with the investigation about her


    father. Now that she thought about it, she felt ridiculous. Seeing that Su Ziyue was in shock, Qin


    Muchen reached out to grab her hand. However, Su Ziyue instantly pulled her hand back. In a shrill


    voice, she asked, “So, the reason you approached me was because of your mother’s case? What were


    you nning to do?”


    A gloomy expression appeared on Qin Muchen’s face after he failed to get hold of her hand. With that,


    Su Ziyue red at him intently and yelled, “Answer me!”


    Qin Muchen looked at her seriously and he calmly replied, “Yes, I am not denying the reason for my


    approaching you in the beginning was because of my mother. It was very suspicious back then and I


    couldn’t find out what really happened at that time. My grandfather even sent someone to deal with her


    funeral affairs so I didn’t know much about the case.”


    Hearing this, Su Ziyue took a deep breath and turned to look out the window, not wanting to meet Qin


    Muchen’s gaze. She didn’t know what to say about his confession. After a while, she turned to look at


    him and questioned, “So, approaching me was one of your means of investigation?”


    Her words made Qin Muchen frown slightly. “Even if I didn’t re-investigate the case, I would still be


    looking for you.”


    Su Ziyue didn’t speak with a doubtful expression on her face. From the very beginning, Qin Muchen


    appeared mysteriously in my life. He seemed like the perfect man, staying by my side and wouldn’t


    leave no matter what I did. I don’t believe that he insists on being with me because he fell in love with


    my looks or because we had slept together. Even if Qin Muchen is sticking with me just so that he can


    investigate the case further, he doesn’t need toe this far. Su Ziyue pressed on, “Why?”


    With a trace of nostalgia, Qin Muchen replied softly, “I met you a long time ago.”


    At that moment, Qin Muchen remembered that one day that happened ten years ago. After he came


    home from school, his mother happily asked, “How about I find you a little sister?”


    Then, he met Su Ziyue. It was his mother who secretly brought him to see her. At that time, Su Ziyue


    was around eight years old. She had pink, tender skin, her hair wasbed into a princess bun, and


    she wore a pink dress, like a littledy. Her eyes were big and bright when she smiled, which shone


    brilliantly like the blossoms in springtime.


    His mother asked, “Isn’t she pretty? She’s adorable, don’t you think?” She was full of joy and seemed


    to like Su Ziyue a lot, just like how she liked Su Ziyue’s father, Su Yizi.


    Su Ziyue couldn’t understand what his words meant so she inquired further, “What?”


    “My mother grew up in the Mogwin family but she was the most unruly of all. After she became an


    adult, she returned to China. She gave birth to me at a young age but I’ve never met my father before.


    When I was thirteen years old, she came to Yunzhou City where she met your father. Not long after,


    she told me that she wanted to start a new family.” When Qin Muchen said this, he stopped and looked


    at Su Ziyue.


    Su Ziyue was in a daze for a moment. When she came back to her senses, she asked him uncertainly,


    “Are you saying that your mother and my father were lovers back then?” After she finished speaking,


    she shook her head in self denial and concluded, “It can’t be. If it was true, I would remember


    something about this. Moreover, my father would have never kept this from me.”


    “Yes, your father didn’t keep it from you because he never epted my mother’s love pursuits. He


    loved you deeply so he was afraid that you’d find it difficult to adapt to a new family. However, in the


    end, he was moved by my mother’s love. They nned to take you out to meet us officially after that


    charity dinner.”

    Qin Muchen suddenly stopped speaking. After the charity dinner, they lost the chance to meet up with


    each other. Qin Li had died and Su Yizi had be a suspect. Su Ziyue knew nothing about this and


    Qin Muchen was picked up by someone his grandfather sent. They never became a family. Su Ziyue,


    who should have been treasured by Su Yizi and raised like a princess, entered the Su family.


    Qin Yuchuan was so heartbroken from Qin Li’s death that he brought Qin Muchen away with him and


    didn’t allow him to return to China. Even though Qin Muchen didn’t return, he was not living in the


    Mogwin mansion either. The hands of fate changed both their lives. Su Ziyue pursed her lips slightly


    and thought about the most important point…


    “You… You don’t believe that my father killed your mother?” stammered Su Ziyue. Qin Muchen shook


    his head and patted her head coaxingly. Then he said calmly, “I don’t believe it. I believe in my mother’s


    judgement, just like how you believe in your father.”


    Indeed, he used to suspect that Su Yizi was a hypocrite and that it was possible that he was the real


    murderer. However, because of Su Ziyue, he changed his mind. Furthermore, the series of events that


    urred coupled with the information that he learned, proved that Su Yizi was undoubtedly not the


    culprit. The real murderer was someone else who had not only killed Qin Li, but also Su Yizi.


    “Why are you in a daze?” Seeing that Su Ziyue was silent, Qin Muchen reached out and pulled her into


    his arms. Then, he gently patted her back. He was actually afraid that she would me him.


    If it weren’t for Qin Muchen and Qin Li, or the death of thetter, Su Yizi perhaps would still be alive


    and well. And as for Su Ziyue, she would be able to grow up happily without enduring such


    unnecessary suffering in the Su family. This was why from the beginning, he had decided that he would


    take care of her and would never give a moment’s consideration of divorcing her.


    Su Ziyue looked up at him. “Then why were you unwilling to tell me when I first asked you about it?”


    After a moment of hesitation, Qin Muchen responded, “If I had told you all of these back then, are you


    sure that you wouldn’t hate me?”


    Hearing this, Su Ziyue lowered her eyes slightly and didn’t say anything further. Her silence meant that


    she had admitted it. If Qin Muchen had told her all of these in the beginning, she would have never


    epted him. Before he told her these things, he was just a mysterious man that was almost perfect. If


    he were to divulge everything to her at that time, he would be a person that was connected to her


    father’s case, and it would be hard to guarantee that she wouldn’t be mad about it. I never thought that


    he had considered so much from the start.


    With that, the two of them cuddled together in silence. After a while, Su Ziyue suddenly remembered


    something else as she prompted, “Did you look for Su Yuanming the other day?” Qin Muchen’s body


    stiffened slightly but he didn’t deny. Instead, he truthfully replied, “Yes.” Su Ziyue bit her lip and asked,


    “Then… where is my father right now?”
