Marry Me Quick

Chapter 64

“He said that he was wrong about you and the Su Group, actually daring to use such dirty tricks...” Su Ziyue’s voice turned small and meek when she reached the end of her sentence.

Su Youcheng’s face became pale, and he turned to Su Yige, scolding her right in her face, “This was all your idea. Tell me, where did you get all these crooked ideas? Is this what our family taught you?”

“Grandpa, I merely wanted to get the contract signed as soon as possible. I didn’t think that things would turn out like this.” It was the first time in her life that he spoke so loudly to her, and it caught her off guard.

“You didn’t think? Do you only have water in your head? So you're saying that after raising you for so many years, the Su family has raised you to be an idiot?”

Su Youcheng was harsh with his words, and the more he spoke, the angrier he became, which was something out of Su Ziyue’s expectation.

“Grandpa!” Feeling wronged, Su Yige’s eyes turned red. When she made this request, he had obviously given his silent consent.

And now that the president of LK had guessed that it was them who schemed behind his back, he shifted all the blame on her. Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

“Grandpa, don’t be so angry. The president of LK still trusts you and your reputation will not suffer. Calm down now,” Su Ziyue said and went to help him take a seat. “How about I get the secretary to

make you a cup of tea?”

At this point, there was nothing she did not understand anymore. Anything that Su Yige did, she always had her own plans in mind, and she would find ways to gain the approval of Su Youcheng before going ahead with it.

Even so, she miscalculated one point. In his lifetime, Su Youcheng was most proud of the Su Group and he wanted to keep growing it. Because of that, he was extremely conscious about what his business partners thought about him.

“Reflect on what you have done for a while. In the meantime, someone else will take over your position in the company. You can leave now.” Su Youcheng took the opportunity given by Su Ziyue to let the matter rest, but in his heart, he was still worried that she would know that he had given his silent consent on this matter. But looking at her now, she probably did not know about it.

Knowing that it would be pointless to say anything now, Su Yige turned and left. This was another time Su Ziyue had counter-attacked her, and her hatred for her deepened.

After she left, Su Ziyue stayed behind a little longer to console Su Youcheng before leaving herself.

When she returned to her office, she saw that An Xia was waiting for her inside.

Rushing over, An Xia glanced at her swollen face with a worried look on her face. “That woman didn’t hold back at all!”

“I didn’t think that your idea would work so well. She got so angry that she threw a slap at me straight

away,” Su Ziyue said as she took out a pocket mirror from her handbag. Her face was indeed swollen rather badly.

“You must have not noticed it before. During schooling days, whenever Gong Zeyang smiled at you, the look in Su Yige’s eyes…” An Xia trailed off as she recalled the scene, and she felt a chill run down her spine.

Not only were they classmates, An Xia and Su Ziyue were also good friends. So there were many opportunities for her to meet Su Yige and Gong Zeyang.

Slightly taken aback, Su Ziyue tried to remember, but she could not really recall anything. “Why does she still hate me so much even when Gong Zeyang is now her fiance? Is she addicted to bullying me?”

Puzzled, Su Ziyue could never understand what Su Yige was thinking about. She really did not know how and why her existence threatened Su Yige so much that she was constantly trying to go against her.

“If you want to understand what she’s thinking, you must first become a person like her.” An Xia’s dislike for Su Yige began when they were still in school.

“Then I won’t try to figure out what's on her mind, but this matter won’t end so easily.”

Recalling what had happened years ago, she could only say that she was still young then and had pinned her hopes on the Su family, which was the reason why she fell so hard.

Still, An Xia did not think that the incident this time would affect Su Yige too much. “Isn’t she always loved by President Su?”

“A student who scores ninety percent once after always getting a perfect score would lead people to think that she regressed, but people would rain compliments on a student who scored sixty percent suddenly after always scoring fifty-nine percent before. Such is human nature,” Su Ziyue said with a little excitement in her voice.

“You’re naughty, Ziyue.” An Xia chortled, and Su Ziyue stayed silent.

By the time it was time to leave work, rumors had started in the company.

And it was obviously about Su Yige slapping Su Ziyue out of jealousy at her success of signing the contract with LK.

There were also people defending Su Yige, saying that a person with an upbringing like her would not raise her hand at someone in public, so it must have been Su Ziyue who had overstepped her bounds.

But the two sayings turned into compliments for Su Ziyue in the end.

“I thought Su Ziyue was only good-looking, but I didn’t expect her to be capable as well.”

“What sort of capabilities could someone like her have? Maybe she used her body for… that.”

“Hey, what sort of person do you take the president of LK for? By simply sending a beautiful woman to sleep with him, he will sign the contract and cooperate? How could the LK Group grow so big if that

was the case?”

“That sounds somewhat reasonable. So it turns out that Su Ziyue is capable indeed.”

“In fact, I think Director Su is too pretentious. No matter what the reason was, she shouldn’t hit a person’s face in front of so many people. Moreover, it was her own cousin. Perhaps all that gentleness and elegance was just a front…”

Once the voices outside faded, only then did Su Ziyue step out of the toilet cubicle.

This was the effect which she wanted; a mix of good and bad, as too much goodness would have adverse effects. The situation now was just the perfect balance.

An Xia came in suddenly and blurted when she saw her, “I thought you fell in the toilet. Are you regretting your decision to buy me dinner?”

After waiting for a long while outside for Su Ziyue, she could hold it no more and came in to look for her.

Raising her eyebrow, Su Ziyue asked, “Would I care about that little bit of money?” Since she had some shares in her hands, she was one of the shareholders who would receive a share of dividends at the end of the year.

An Xia rolled her eyes. “Compared to Mr. Qin, that little bit of money of yours…” She trailed off on purpose at the end and merely chuckled so Su Ziyue would get the meaning herself.

Su Ziyue phased out at the mention of Qin Muchen. At the end of the day, she still had to thank him.

Initially, she said that she was the one using him. As it turned out now, both of them were using each other. For their own purposes, they had to use each other.

On Saturday morning, Su Ziyue received a call from Su Youcheng.

“There’s a family gathering at the Lumiere Jade House tonight. Come on time.” He spoke without allowing her to put in her word. Obviously, Su Ziyue had to attend the gathering.

Recalling what had happened the last time she attended a family gathering, she became dreary.

“I’m afraid Grandma and Auntie wouldn’t want to see me. I’m not going, in case I dampen everybody’s spirits. I’ll remember your concern for me in my heart, Grandpa.” Speaking softly and gently, that hint of dreariness in her voice could only be heard if one listened intently.

Her polite words seemed to please Su Youcheng, and he softened his tone a little. “We’re a family, so just come as I told you to. You shouldn’t become a laughing stock for others.”
