Marry Me Quick

Chapter 33

Looking at Su Youcheng’s silhouette which disappeared at the corner of the stairs, Su Ziyue neared Qin Muchen. “Wait for me for a moment, and I’ll be down in a jiffy.”

Qin Muchen looked at her silently, feeling slightly worried. He then spoke with his usual tone, “In that case, make it fast. It is past my usual dinner time, so I’m getting hungry.”

Su Ziyue understood what he was insinuating; she knew that he did not take Su Youcheng’s words to heart. Pursing her lips, she put on a smile and went upstairs relievedly.

It was amusing; just yesterday, she announced that Su Youcheng had personally informed her to come back to join the family reunion in front of Su Yige.

However, she did not expect that this was merely the Hongmen Banquet.

She did not know why Su Youcheng wanted her to divorce Qin Muchen all of a sudden, but based on how well she knew Su Youcheng, she knew that he surely had an ulterior motive.

“Grandpa.”

Su Youcheng was standing in the study room with his back against the door. Su Ziyue greeted him as she walked into the room.

“Why are you still calling me ‘Grandpa’? You don’t even listen to my advice!” Su Youcheng turned his head around furiously, as if he had been enraged by Su Ziyue.

Su Ziyue curled her lips and put on a smile; she did not even bother to disguise her disappointment and ridicule anymore since whatever she said was wrong. Grandpa had never adored her or believed her, so why would she be bothered by him?

“If I listen to you and divorce Qin Muchen, will you give me the shares which my Dad had left behind?” Su Ziyue knew that he would not give the shares to her, which was why she purposely asked him that question.

Even if she really separated with Qin Muchen, it would not happen simply because she was threatened by others; it would be a result of her own discussion with him.

However, the problem seemed to be that… she had no intentions of filing for divorce.

Su Youcheng’s anger slowly faded when he heard this. After looking at Su Ziyue, his tone had reverted back to his stern tone when he spoke once again. “You really want the shares which your father left for you?”

Su Ziyue did not know what Su Youcheng was up to, but she still nodded and said, “Yes.”

“I’ll give you one chance.” When Su Youcheng approached Su Ziyue, he realized that this youngest granddaughter of his was more beautiful than his eldest granddaughter; it was no wonder Mu Ninghui could not let her go.

“If you marry Mu Ninghui, I’ll ask the lawyer to give the shares to you.” Su Youcheng squinted his eyes, paying attention to Su Ziyue’s reaction.

Although she had prepared herself for the worst case scenario, she was still exceptionally sad when she suddenly heard his request.

“You want me to marry Mu Ninghui? Do you know what kind of person he is?” Su Youcheng wanted her to marry Mu Ninghui? Saying that he was a loser would be an understatement as well.

Su Ziyue was feeling a slight pain at the top of her head. From the moment she entered the room, Su Youcheng had been persuading her to marry Mu Ninghui; he did not even ask her about the wound on her head.

“Mu Ninghui’s reputation is slightly tarnished, but he will change his heart when he’s married. Men are all the same, so you don’t have to worry about it. Moreover, if you marry him, our collaboration with the Mu Family will be more solidified.

It was rare that Su Youcheng spoke to her in a good tone, but his words hurt even more than when he was furious.

Su Ziyue took a step back before looking at Su Youcheng with a cold look on her face. “What benefits did the Mu Family give you that made you forsake your dignity to the point of forcing your grandchild?!”

“You…” Su Ziyue had spoken what was on Su Youcheng’s mind. Her face was green from the fury, and she was at a loss for words.

“No matter what benefits they gave you, I will never divorce Qin Muchen! Even if I live a beggar’s life, I will never marry Mu Ninghui!”

Su Ziyue could not hold it in anymore, and an evil look flashed across her face. “If you want to reap the benefits of the Mu Family, ask Su Yige to marry into the Mu Family then.”

With that, she marched out but Su Youcheng screamed from behind, “Come back, Su Ziyue!”

Su Ziyue did not stop in her tracks, completely ignoring his words although she had heard him.

She had suffered enough; Su Youcheng had never treated her as one of the Su’s, and had simply let others create trouble for her.

The Mu Family must have given Su Youcheng a huge benefit. If not, he would not have forsaken his dignity and forced her to divorce Qin Muchen. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

However, what did that have anything to do with her?

They wanted her to divorce him, but she just did not want to!

Su Ziyue could feel the rage within her. She hurried her pace, almost running from down the stairs.

Qin Muchen was sitting quietly on the sofa; his eyes were calm and did not have a hint of frustration. When he saw Su Ziyue coming down, he stood up and glanced at her from head to toe, as if making sure that she was fine.

“Let’s go home now.” Su Ziyue walked up to him and pulled his hand; she was eager to return to that small apartment.

The Su Residence was so big that it was deserted and eerie.

Qing Muchen extended his arms to touch her face; he did not have a smile on his face at all, which made Su Ziyue feel moved by his actions.

The rage within him and the extreme emotions that were about to overwhelm him suddenly dispelled.

When the two of them were about to leave, a few of the men who were sitting by the side immediately stood up.

Su Youcheng stood at the corridor on the second floor, looking at the hall on the first floor from above. He yelled out, “Stop them!”

The moment he gave the order, bodyguards surrounded them; this was obviously orchestrated beforehand.

Su Ziyue and Su Youcheng had lived together for so many years, so the both of them understood each other to quite an extent. He had predicted that Su Ziyue would not be that easy to persuade, so he had prepared beforehand.

Nervous, Su Ziyue turned her head to look at Qin Muchen as a hint of panic flashed across her eyes. Although she usually looked like she was not afraid of anything, she was still quite terrified when it came to Su Youcheng; this had something to do with her childhood memories.

“Don’t worry.” Qin Muchen pulled her into his embrace, his voice exceptionally calm.

Curious, Su Ziyue quieted down.

This was the first time in her life that she did not feel scared no matter what was going to happen.

“Like I said, you can still leave if you wish to, Mr. Qin. I only want to discipline my granddaughter, and it has nothing to do with you.”

Su Youcheng walked to the hall and sat on the sofa with a composed look on his face; it was as if he was certain that Su Ziyue could not go against him.

Qin Muchen’s voice was then heard coming from the hall. Although it was not loud, it had a sense of threat. “What if I don’t?”

Su Youcheng was slightly startled when he heard this. He put on a disdainful look, feeling as though Qin Muchen had overestimated himself. “You’re destroying your future for a girl. Think carefully, Mr. Qin. Is this worth it?”

“I’ll decide whether it’s worth it or not!” Qin Muchen calmly took out his phone. “Since this issue cannot be peacefully resolved, I’ll report it to the police!”

“Tsk…”

Su Youcheng let out a scoff; the disdain in his eyes became more and more apparent. He looked at Qin Muchen as if he was looking at a nonentity. “I’ve always admired young people like you guys; people like you are brave and do not fear failure at all.”

“I also admire Mr. Su’s self-confidence.” As soon as Qin Muchen finished talking, he pressed a few buttons on his phone and called up someone. “The Su Residence. Just help me to lodge a police report.”
