Chapter 237
Her heart skipped a beat when she heard that. Tucking her hair behind her ear, she said softly, "Taking all these
useless things with us will only take up space."
That didn't seem to bother Qin Muchen. "Our house is big."
Hearing him, she didn’t say anything anymore and just watched as he picked up her old notes and magazines
before packing them away into a cardboard box.
When they were out of the house, only then did Su Ziyue ask him, "Did you come to the Su residence today just to
pick up my things?"
"Why else? You really thought that I came here to consider a collaboration with Su Youcheng?" He smiled but it
didn’t reach his eyes.
She blinked blankly and he couldn't help but pinch her cheeks when he saw her silly face. "Silly!"
"It's painful!" She glared at him while holding her cheek.
It seemed like Qin Muchen was in a good mood as he patiently explained, "If I had rejected him directly, would he
have allowed me to take these things away?"
"These aren't anything important and it's not a problem to leave them there." Pouting, Su Ziyue thought that Qin
Muchen had the habit of making a fuss over small matters.
He sounded rather annoyed when he replied, "But all these things belong to you and I just feel that we have to
bring it all home."
Her heart melted even though he sounded annoyed. But all these things belong to you and I just feel that we have
to bring it all home.
Even though his behavior seemed very childish and a little stubborn, she was still touched by the gesture.
Every single thing concerning her, regardless whether it was significant or insignificant, was important to him.
Based on his opinion, even if she regarded these things as worthless, they must be brought back home.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWhen they first met, she thought that he was very mysterious. After getting to know him, he was actually polite,
petty and liked to keep things to himself.
Thinking about it carefully now, this man whom everyone saw as the financial legend was a person full of petty
tempers. But from this moment onward, she had only one word to define him—cute.
Just like the older boys she had met during her schooling days, she could feel that his feelings were pure and deep.

After waiting for a few days at home, Su Youcheng did not receive any call from Qin Muchen.
Instead, he received another piece of news—the Gong family had dropped the case.
"How did it turn out like this?" Su Youcheng was so furious that he threw the ashtray on the table across the room.
His chest rose and fell rapidly and he was stunned and worried at the same time.
He couldn't figure out what abilities Qin Muchen had that could make the Gong family withdraw the charges.
Suddenly, he thought of what happened to the Mu family…
Could it be that Su Ziyue had gone to the President of LK for help?
"Grandpa!" Just then, Su Yige pushed open the door and came in, sounding anxious.
As she had been at the hospital for the past few days to take care of Gong Zeyang, she wasn't looking that good
herself, either.
When she got close, she immediately went straight to the point, "Grandpa, please help Zeyang. His father actually
dropped the case. Wouldn't Zeyang have suffered for nothing then? How could this have happened?"
"Besides Gong Zeyang, do you have anything else on your mind? Do you know that because of this, the
development project in the west which was in my hands is now gone?"
Slamming the desk in anger, he looked at Su Yige with eyes that no longer had any of the compassion he used to
have for her, and this startled Su Yige so much that she retreated a couple of steps.
"B-But Zeyang really suffered a lot this time," she mumbled.
In her eyes, there was really nothing else which mattered besides Gong Zeyang. He was the person she cared
about the most, so she could not bear to see him suffer.
Gong Shuzhe had discreetly dropped the charges, and he even did so in person. After that, he even specially went
to the hospital and told Gong Zeyang that he was not allowed to appeal anymore.
She couldn't understand why Gong Shuzhe could take this lying down and not lift a finger to help his son who had
suffered an injustice.
Since the Gong family wasn't going to help him, she could only come to Su Youcheng.
"Did he really?" Su Youcheng sneered.
"Grandpa, what are you…" Her voice trembled, shocked by his sudden sneer.
"He deserves this suffering. If he hadn't stepped on Qin Muchen's toes, would he have beaten him up?" Su
Youcheng now regretted having too much regard for the Gong family back then. What if Qin Muchen turned out to
have a really strong background?
"Grandpa, what's wrong with you? Zeyang was mad at Qin Muchen for having his hands on me, that's why he…"
Her voice trailed off as Su Youcheng glared at her sharply.
"Yige, I’m thrice as old as you and I have more life experience than you could ever have. Do you really think that I
don’t know what happened? You even want to lie to me?" His voice was especially stern and his sharp eyes were
fixed on Su Yige.
"What do you mean?" She chuckled dryly. "Grandpa, what are you talking about? I don't get it at all."
"It doesn't matter if you're playing dumb or really didn't understand what I mean. Bottom line is, you have to
understand that no matter what you do, you can never hide it from me."
Even though he had lowered the volume of his voice, it still carried a threatening tone.
Ever since she was young, Su Yige had been his favorite and he had intentions of nurturing her. But for the past
couple of years, it seemed like there wasn't much room for improvement on her performance anymore. She was
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmjust like her father, Su Yuanming.
"Go back to the Gong residence and take good care of Zeyang. Get along well with Mr. and Mrs. Gong. Nothing is
allowed to go wrong with the collaboration between our families."
He turned around and did not look at her anymore, an obvious hint that she should be leaving now.
Biting her lip, Su Yige was reluctant to leave. Her heart felt like it had been stabbed the moment she thought of
Gong Zeyang's angry face.
Instead of leaving, she uttered while biting her lip, "Grandpa, just help Zeyang this once. He-"
"Why do you think Gong Shuzhe withdrew the lawsuit?" Seeing how she refused to come to her senses made him
even angrier.
"Why?" she asked.
"There is definitely someone giving him pressure in the dark. Who do you think this person is?" he asked with
sombre eyes.
Right away, Qin Muchen came into her mind and she shook her head in disbelief. "That's impossible…"

Meanwhile, Su Ziyue had gone out to walk the dog after breakfast and she saw Qin Muchen at the main door when
she returned.
"What is it?"
"The position you want me to arrange for Ms. An is done." Qin Muchen cast his gaze at Beef.
Since they had already reached the door, Su Ziyue released the leash and Beef dashed into the house after shaking
its body.
Su Ziyue did not bother it, but beamed at Qin Muchen and grabbed his arm. "Thank you!"
"You're welcome."
While she was still smiling, he added, "I'm a businessman. If you would like to thank me, you should thank me with
something substantial."
Su Ziyue thought of the day when he mentioned that she should perform well and she trembled, not daring to
speak another word.
