Marry Me Quick

Chapter 359

It seemed as if Gong Shuzhe had aged twenty years in a blink of an eye when he spoke again with an exhausted voice, “Zeyang…”

But Gong Zeyang did not bother with him. Instead, his attention was on Su Ziyue. He had carried a torch for her since he was young, but his parents constantly reminded him that his future wife could only be a proper young lady like Su Yige, and never Su Ziyue. And so, he kept away his feelings for her after that. But, he never thought that his own father was the one who caused Su Yizi’s death.

Ignoring Gong Zeyang’s gaze on her, Su Ziyue cast Gong Shuzhe an indifferent look. “I want you to make a public apology to clarify what happened back then, and turn yourself in.” This was what she had thought about from the very beginning. If she ever found out the culprit who caused her father’s death, she had to make sure that the world knew that her father was innocent.

But Gong Zeyang was stunned. Even now, the Gong Group still needed Gong Shuzhe’s support. If he was to be jailed, not only would the Gong Family lose their reputation, he also could no longer support the Gong Group. Moreover, Gong Zeyang felt sorry for his father, since he was already old. Taking a couple of steps toward her, he said, “Ziyue, everything is in the past now. It’s true that my father made a mistake, but he treated you well over the years. Can you bear to see him in jail at this age?”

Su Ziyue sneered. “He is old, but that doesn’t mean that he’s not liable for the murder. He caused the deaths of two persons; he can’t get away with this.”

“You…” Gong Zeyang could only think about Gong Shuzhe at this moment, and he couldn’t heed any of her words at all. Turning to look at Qin Muchen, he raised his voice at him, “Qin Muchen, no matter what, you’re still the biological son of my father. Are you really sending him to jail because of a woman?”

Pulling Su Ziyue into his embrace, Qin Muchen circled his arm around her shoulders and squeezed her lightly in a comforting manner. Then, he gave Gong Zeyang a cold stare. “I’m not doing this for one woman; I’m doing this for two women.” Turning to face Gong Shuzhe, he said quietly, “The woman he killed, Qin Li, was my mother.”

Staggering a couple of steps backward, Gong Zeyang stared at his father, stupefied. With a tired expression, Gong Shuzhe turned to Qin Muchen. “I can turn myself in, but I—”

Qin Muchen couldn’t be bothered with what he had to say after that, so he broke him off directly, “Not only do you have to turn yourself in, but you’ll also have to make a public apology. Did you not understand what my wife just said?”

Falling to his knees with a loud thud, Gong Shuzhe pleaded, “I’m begging you! Please let the Gong Group go. I’m willing to turn myself in without making a public apology. Allow me some time to take care of the business in Gong Group…”

Su Ziyue could feel Qin Muchen’s grip tightening on her shoulder and she turned, only to see his solemn face from the side.

With an apathetic voice, he said, “You reap what you sow.” He then dragged Su Ziyue with him and left.

Qin Muchen’s steps were quick and she had to brisk-walk to keep up with him. She could feel the unrest in his heart, while she was feeling the same.

Gong Shuzhe had caused Qin Li’s death, and he ganged up with Liu Zipei to shift the blame on Su Yizi, who later passed away in jail. While Qin Muchen’s mother was Qin Li and Gong Shuzhe was his father, the truth that he had been chasing this whole time was actually that his father had killed his mother. Although he never lived with Gong Shuzhe, he was still his biological father. Qin Muchen thought that it was normal to find this hard to accept.

When they reached the parking lot, Su Ziyue stopped in front of the car. “I’ll drive,” she said and got straight into the car. With the way Qin Muchen was acting right now, he shouldn’t be driving.

“What do you want to eat for lunch?” Su Ziyue knew that he was upset and wanted to chat with him, but he didn’t speak a word. She then made another attempt. “Let’s go for a vacation and take a break for a short while. I’m a little tired after being busy for these few months.”

All of a sudden, Qin Muchen reached out a hand and grabbed Su Ziyue over to himself. She screamed, “The car!”

Going over the controls with his hand, the car stopped and he began tearing off her clothes. Panic-stricken, she exclaimed, “Qin Muchen, what are you doing?!”

The sinister from his eyes had yet to disperse completely, and his hands didn’t stop as he pressed his lips against hers. In a quiet voice, he said, “Give it to me.” But he was not seeking her permission with that, and he straightaway barged into her.

It felt so painful that Su Ziyue clawed around, while feeling terrified and shameful on the inside. We are just next to the street in broad daylight…

“Qin Muchen, let’s go home,” Su Ziyue whimpered as she buried her head, but he ignored her and rolled over while holding her. Lowering the backrest, he placed her down and came close on top of her. Holding her hands into balls of fists, she held them up in front of her chest. Through squinted eyes, she saw the fierce beast-like look on his face in the midst of his movements, without any trace of tenderness.
