Marry Me Quick

Chapter 222

Su Ziyue’s voice was loud because she was too shocked.

The other people around the dining table turned toward her when they heard her voice.

Qin Muchen looked at them with a darkened gaze, which made them tremble and shift their gazes away.

Su Ziyue didn’t notice this as she asked him with uncertainty, “Is what you’re saying real?”

“Why would I lie to you?” he asked her back.

She knew that he wouldn’t lie to her at all.

But...

She couldn’t help but turn to look at the young, kind-looking woman beside Su Yuanming.

After looking closely at her face, she felt that this woman did look relatively similar to Xu Youran.

The woman felt Su Ziyue’s gaze and turned to smile at her. Her smile made Su Ziyue feel unusually calm.

Su Ziyue gave her an imperceptible nod. She thought that she finally understood why Su Yuanming would be so madly attracted to this woman.

...

After dinner, Su Ziyue decided to spend the night at the Su Residence.

Qin Muchen didn’t object to this. If she wanted to spend the night there, he would stay with her.

While he showered, she decided to go out for a walk.

She had not stayed in this villa for some years now. When she just returned from overseas, she had lived elsewhere. Hence, she was not familiar with the Su Family villa.

She walked to the top of the stairs and met Xu Lisha, who was carrying a tray.

Xu Lisha was the name of that woman whom Su Yuanming had brought home. Su Yuanming had introduced her during dinner.

“Miss Xu.”

Su Ziyue greeted her first and glanced at the tray. There was a bowl of soup on it.

Xu Lisha noticed her glance, looked at the tray, then smiled and said, “I made some herbal soup for Yuanming. He has had insomnia recently. Do you want some?”

She had a kind and gentle mannerism, as well as a clear and elegant aura about her. She was like a proper young lady from a well-to-do family.

Su Ziyue was in awe of her. She knew a thing or two about Xu Youran’s family background.

Although Xu Lisha was climbing up the social rank by being with Su Yuanming, Su Ziyue felt that Su Yuanming’s bad character was not worthy of a woman like Xu Lisha.

“No, thank you.” Su Ziyue bowed slightly out of gratitude.

Xu Lisha didn’t speak another word but continued heading downstairs.

Su Ziyue kept looking after her silhouette.

Qin Muchen had told her that Xu Lisha was Xu Youran’s elder sister.

He had checked Xu Youran’s background and met Xu Lisha, so he knew about her.

Xu Youran had mentioned her sister in her diary. Although there were only a few lines about her, Su Ziyue had the impression that she was a brave, strong, and resolute person.

This was very different from the Xu Lisha in front of her.

The two sisters had grown up together, so their bond would be strong. But Xu Lisha did not appear in court when Xu Youran’s case went on trial, and now she had appeared at the Su Family’s villa...

Su Ziyue had already guessed Xu Lisha’s intentions.

“Miss Su, are you sure you don’t want some herbal soup?” Xu Lisha suddenly turned and asked Su Ziyue.

Her expression was unambiguous, so Su Ziyue thought about it and nodded.

Xu Lisha smiled brightly. “Then please come with me to the kitchen.”

...

As they came to the kitchen, Xu Lisha poured out a bowl of soup for Su Ziyue.

“Taste it and see if you like it.” Xu Lisha pushed the bowl toward Su Ziyue and smiled at her encouragingly.

Su Ziyue drank a mouthful under her gaze. Xu Lisha said wistfully, “My little sister used to love the soup I make. But I rarely had the time to make it for her.”

Her face was full of wistfulness.

Su Ziyue’s expression changed slightly as she asked mildly, “Really?”

“Yeah,” Xu Lisha answered, her tone becoming lower, “I know you’re unlike the others in the Su Family.”

Su Ziyue gripped the bowl tightly and said, “It’s not worth it to sacrifice your whole life.”

Su Ziyue knew that Xu Lisha wanted to take revenge on Su Yuanming. Although Zhou Lingyu was sentenced to prison, there were still others who were involved.

“I can only do this much. Although my parents had died long ago, I grew up with Youran, and she was the one who made me feel like I still have some sort of family. Now that she’s gone too, I have lost my family. I don’t want these people to lead a peaceful life.”

Xu Lisha’s voice became colder as her expression darkened, her eyes gleamed with hatred.

Seeing Xu Lisha acting this way, Su Ziyue not only didn’t think that she was going overboard, but her heart was also moved.

She suddenly felt very envious of Xu Youran for having such a loving sister who would do anything for her.

She knew very well how the Su Family was like. While Xu Lisha was an exceptional woman, what could she really do to them?

Even though Su Yuanming had fallen head over heels for her, Su Youcheng was still the one in charge of the family.
