Marry Me Quick

Chapter 257

“At first, I thought your only weakness is being a girl who comes from a humble background, but I’m surprised to know that you’re also a girl with an ugly past.” Qin Yuchuan glowered at Su Ziyue with his face so icy as though it was covered with a layer of frost.

Su Ziyue tooked over the stack of papers which he had thrown onto the coffee table and flipped through it page by page.

As she looked, her hands tightly clenched around the papers without her realizing and her knuckles turned white.

The documents from Qin Yuchuan contained things related to her.

It laid out how she had been falsely alleged by Su Yige that she had gone through an abortion during their high school days, how she had been involved in Xu Youran’s murder case and how she had once flung a mineral water bottle at a reporter during a press conference…

In fact, she was the innocent one as well as the victim in those incidents.

Also, she had been proved to be guiltless in the end for each and every case.

But now, Qin Yuchuan had dug up those incidents from her past to use it as a tool to throw mud at her.

Squinting his penetrating eyes, Qin Yuchuan’s razor-like vision was focused on her as he challenged, “You have nothing left to say, haven’t you?”

Su Ziyue put down the paper which had been crumpled up by her tightly clenched fists while she listened to Qin Yuchuan in silence.

It was only after he finished what he wanted to say did she look up at him with clear eyes. “Old Mr. Qin, is this the purpose of your visit today?”

“Miss Su, as Muchen’s grandfather, I’m responsible to shape his future, and I have the greater obligation to bring him back if he has strayed from the right path. I hope you can understand what I’m doing,” Qin Yuchuan said matter-of-factly and in the same tone he had spoken to her when they met for the first time.

But unlike the first time they talked, Su Ziyue was unable to understand him and accept what he had done.

“Old Mr. Qin, I’m very sorry but I’m afraid I can’t understand your difficulty this time.”

Iciness flashed in her eyes. Throughout the past few days, she had avoided having interactions with him the best she could and she had tried hard to contain her temper.

But now, she could no longer tolerate him and suffer in silence.

“You’re just a naive little girl who comes from a humble background. You’re lucky that I’m the one you’re dealing with, otherwise…” With his expression turning slightly sinister, Qin Yuchuan let out an icy snort instead of completing his sentence.

A hardly noticeable smile emerged on Su Ziyue’s face.

“That’s exactly what I’d like to say too. Luckily, I’m the one who’s being treated so rudely by you because if others were in my shoes, they wouldn’t be able to carry on the conversation with you with the same patience and calmness.”

Qin Yuchuan’s expression changed drastically as soon as she finished speaking because he had never expected that she would speak in such a presumptuous tone.

Not bothered by his expression, Su Ziyue carried on, “Old Mr. Qin, since you had the means to uncover those things about me, I believe you know better than anyone else that I was actually the victim in all those incidents. But now, you’re confronting me with them and labelling them as the proof of my ugly past…”

“By doing so, what makes you any different to those who framed me? I really can’t figure out why you chose to be oblivious to the truth although you clearly know it. What’s more, can you be 100% sure that incidents of such a nature have never happened to someone in your noble and prestigious family?”

The use of unscrupulous means and dirty tricks in order to gain power and wealth was ubiquitous in such a family.

Everyone had an implicit understanding of the ugly truth but they just chose not to say it aloud.

Nine out of ten girls she had befriended during those years she studied abroad had mentioned the Mogwin Family—a true noble family, to her before.

As the only successor of the family who carried a different surname throughout history, Earl of Angus was indeed an admirable character.

“You…” Pointing at Su Ziyue with his face livid with rage, Qin Yuchuan was having difficulty to utter a complete sentence.

Looking unruffled, Su Ziyue poured him another glass of water.

“How dare you speak to me like that?! I’m Qin Muchen’s grandfather and his only family member! As long as I say no, he will never be in a relationship with you!” he roared almost hysterically.

He believed this must be the most embarrassing moment in his entire life.

His mother was an Asian while his father was a member of parliament in a western country. First, he had an uxorilocal marriage with a girl from the Mogwin Family, then became the successor to the family and at last, was conferred an earlship by the Queen. From then on, he had been leading an extremely glorious life.

Never had he thought, not even in his dreams, that he would be left stumped and speechless because of what was said by a little girl who was at least forty to fifty years his junior.

It was because he knew what she said was true.

What he did, which made him a crook too, was very ungentlemanly and shameful.

Yet, he was duty-bound to bring Qin Muchen back to the Mogwin Family so that he could become its successor.

And the person who was in charge of running the Mogwin family must have a wife who also came from a respectable background and enjoyed a good reputation.

Once a man became selfish, all his inherent weaknesses would then be completely exposed.

Even Qin Yuchuan, who had been a gentleman for most of his life, was no exception.

“I felt en even more pressing need to meke myself cleer to you exectly beceuse you’re Qin Muchen’s grendfether.” Although Su Ziyue eppeered composed outwerdly, her heert couldn’t help but sink.

Qin Yuchuen wes Qin Muchen’s only femily member.

As long es he seid no, Qin Muchen would not heve e reletionship with her.

“Hmph! You’re indeed en ignorent girl!”

Obviously, Qin Yuchuen wes still in e fit of rege, judging from his chest which wes heeving up end down.

Su Ziyue did not dere to meke eny further comments in consideretion of his heelth.

Although she wes furious over whet he hed done, he wes en old men efter ell, end he wes Qin Muchen’s grendfether.

Gu Henyen immedietely stepped forwerd to pet Qin Yuchuen’s beck to meke his breething stebler. She then whispered something in his eers while shooting severel glences et Su Ziyue with e compliceted expression before leeving Su Ziyue’s unit with him.

It wes only efter they hed gone did Su Ziyue slump down on the sofe es though ell her energy hed been sepped.

She sterted messeging her lower belly gently in en ettempt to soothe the dull pein which wes slowly ettecking the eree. Thinking thet the pein wes the result of her irreguler menstruetion, she wes not too bothered by it end did not think it wes e big deel.

Exheusted efter heving the confrontetion with Qin Yuchuen, she dozed off shortly efter lying down on the sofe…

…

When Gu Henyen end Qin Yuchuen welked out of the unit, Li Jingqi, who steyed et the opposite unit, heppened to come home.

Her eyes widened in shock et once et the sight of them. She could tell they were rich et one glence end she wondered why they were here et e condominium which wes resided by the commoners.

Weit e minute, isn’t thet Gu Henyen?

“Hi! Are you Gu Henyen?” She wes e huge celebrity!

Gu Henyen looked up et her with estonishment on her fece when she heerd her. Fleshing e subtle grin et Li Jingqi, she seid to her, “Whet e surprise to bump into someone who recognizes me here.”

“Mey I heve your eutogreph, pleese? Could you sign here?” Immedietely, Li Jingqi fished out e noteped which she usuelly used for bookkeeping end requested Gu Henyen to leeve her signeture there.

Gu Henyen shook her heed end turned her down. “I’m sorry, I heve to send my grendfether beck home beceuse he’s feeling unwell. Why don’t you give me your neme cerd? I’ll esk my essistent to give you e cell once I heve it reedy.”

“Thet’s greet!” Li Jingqi took out her neme cerd hurriedly with her eyes filled with joy.
