Chapter 14
“Hm.”
That was a reply with seemingly not much thought put into it.
Su Ziyue sat there stiffly. Was there any use lying to him?
Qin Muchen raised his head and glanced at her, his forehead creasing almost imperceptibly. He then
turned to look at the other end of the dining table. Su Ziyue followed his gaze, only to notice the
breakfast which was covered up there.
A glass of milk, two slices of toast, and a fried egg. It was a very simple yet healthy breakfast.
So he had left her breakfast before he went out that morning. No wonder he knew she hadn’t gotten up.
Instantly, Su Ziyue felt very much ashamed.
Qin Muchen simply said blandly, “I still have something to do at the company, so I’ll leave first.”
Su Ziyue stood up, only to see him disappear behind the door. She then looked at the food and soup
on the table.
He couldn’t have possibly just come back to deliver lunch for her, right?

Lunch breaks at work were short, but he deliberately rushed back to just bring her lunch?
At that thought, a strange feeling rose within Su Ziyue.
The moment that thought streaked across her mind, she hurled it to the very back of her head.
She still hadn’t forgotten Su Youcheng’s words. As long as someone was willing to marry her, she
would be able to retake the shares that her father left for her.
She was once again standing at the entrance to the Su Family’s manor. Su Ziyue clutched the marriage
certificate in her hands tightly before striding inside with large steps.
Liu Zipei and Zhou Lingyu were sitting on a couch in the living room, chatting away. She had no idea
what Zhou Lingyu had said to make Liu Zipei burst out into uproarious laughter.
Zhou Lingyu was Su Yige’s mother and she was rather devious. She had always been able to remain
on her mother-in-law, Liu Zipei’s good side.
No one noticed Su Ziyue when she stood by the entrance. She took another two steps forward and
called out to them dutifully, “Grandma, Auntie.”
Liu Zipei turned to glance at Su Ziyue, her eyes sweeping disdainfully over the latter several times. “So
you still have the courage to return.”
“Mom, it’s rare that Ziyue would come visit us. Regardless of her flaws, she is still a part of the Su
Family,” said Zhou Lingyu as she placated Liu Zipei with a smile. She then turned to face Su Ziyue and
said, “Yige was still rambling yesterday about how she ran into you while out shopping. I also have no
idea what you’ve been doing, mingling around with some riff-raff…”
Su Ziyue didn’t pay attention to Zhou Lingyu’s words. She was already used to Liu Zipei and Zhou
Lingyu with their good guy-bad guy routine. At any rate, she wasn’t fit to be seen by them.
“I’m here to see Grandpa.” Su Ziyue cut off Zhou Lingyu’s words.
Zhou Lingyu raised an eyebrow at her words and her lips quirked into a cold smile. This girl really
doesn’t know when to give up, she thought.
“He is not at home. Leave now. Stop being an eyesore here!” Liu Zipei’s eyes were filled with
vehemence as she tried to chase Su Ziyue off like she was scaring off a beggar.
Su Ziyue clenched her teeth in secret. If it wasn’t for the shares of the Su Group that her father had left
for her, she genuinely did not want to return to this house.

Liu Zipei could also see Su Ziyue’s mulishness, so she simply cut in coldly, “Lumiere Jade House.”
“Thank you Grandma.” Su Ziyue forced a smile out and turned to leave the Su Residence before Liu
Zipei could continue her tirade again.
Liu Zipei was not her grandmother by blood. Her own biological grandmother had passed away shortly
after her father was born. Liu Zipei was Su Youcheng’s second wife and was Su Yige’s biological
grandmother. It was no wonder that she didn’t like Su Ziyue.
Su Ziyue had hailed a taxi to Lumiere Jade House when she caught wind of the booth that Su
Youcheng was in.
Su Ziyue mulled it over. She decided to call Su Youcheng first. However, her calls kept getting cut off.
She had dialed his number several times, but got the same result each time.
Unable to take it anymore, she finally headed straight to his booth.
Su Ziyue pushed the door open and immediately saw Su Youcheng. Su Yige was there as well, but she
didn’t recognize the others there.
Everyone turned in unison to look at her. Su Ziyue instinctively balled her fists tightly and called out,
“Grandpa.”
