Marry Me Quick

Chapter 75

After parking her car properly, Su Ziyue made her way toward the inpatient department of the hospital.

She was familiar with the place because she had stayed there before.

Then, she went to the nurses’ station and inquired, “Excuse me, is there a patient here by the name of Su Youcheng?”

“Yes, are you his family?” A young nurse glanced at her, looking impressed for a fleeting second.

“Yes.” Su Ziyue nodded her head.

The nurse pointed her in a direction and said, “He’s staying in the second room from the end of the corridor.”

“Thanks.”

Su Ziyue then walked in the direction the nurse had pointed.

Just as she reached the door and was about to knock, the door was opened from the inside, and a man and a woman walked out.

Liu Zipei’s eyes turned icy the moment she caught sight of Su Ziyue. “What are you doing here?”

On the other hand, the man beside her flashed Su Ziyue a gentle smile. “Ziyue, it’s been years since

we last saw each other, and you’re already such a big girl now.”

Su Ziyue felt a lump in her throat because of his comment, but still, she put on a smile. “It’s been years since we last met, but you haven’t aged at all, Uncle Gong.”

“You’re such a sweet talker.” Gong Shuzhe laughed before he added, “Go on and visit your grandfather now. I have some errands to run so I’ve got to go.”

Su Ziyue nodded at him before pushing the door open.

Standing by the door, she took a deep breath before going further inside.

Ever since her father had been sentenced to prison, Gong Shuzhe was the only person who genuinely cared about her other than An Xia.

Gong Shuzhe was Gong Zeyang’s father.

That fact sounded slightly bizarre and incredulous for some reason.

Gong Shuzhe enjoyed a very good reputation in Yunzhou City, and his son, Gong Zeyang, was highly respected in the city too.

That was the reason why she had preferred to mingle with the Gongs when she was little. The fact that she had a father who was in jail did not bother Gong Shuzhe perhaps because he was kind-hearted.

Yet, he was not lenient enough to allow her to become her daughter-in-law. Of course, those were things which had taken place a long time ago.

…

After calming herself down, Su Ziyue walked inside the ward.

Su Youcheng was seen leaning against the head of the bed with his spectacles perched on the bridge of his nose, his hands holding a book. The cover of the book did not reveal much about its content.

“Grandpa,” Su Ziyue addressed him before walking over and putting down the fruit basket she brought on the table.

Su Youcheng looked up at her and said in a detached tone, “Ziyue.”

Su Ziyue gave the surroundings a scan before fixing her gaze back on Su Youcheng. “Are you feeling alright?”

“I’m alright.” Su Youcheng put down the book and removed his spectacles before he added, “What would happen to Su Group if anything were to happen to me?”

“Don’t you have Uncle Yuanming and Yige? Both of them are very talented.” Su Ziyue picked up a fruit knife to peel an apple.

She had to find something to distract herself because otherwise, she would not be able to tolerate herself telling such blatant lies through her teeth.

Su Youcheng looked at her without replying to her.

Su Ziyue could vaguely sense that in fact, Su Youcheng did not think that Su Yuanming was a suitable candidate to take over Su Group.

Each and every member of the Su family had their own axe to grind.

As Su Ziyue was not close with her grandfather in the first place, she left after she finished peeling an apple for him.

When she reached the parking lot, she saw Gong Shuzhe and Liu Zipei.

Judging from how bitter and resentful they looked, they seemed to be having an argument.

For some reason, a voice in Su Ziyue’s head prompted her to secretly get closer to them to eavesdrop on their conversation.

As she was still too far away from them, she could only catch them mentioning a name.

“Qin Li…”

Qin Li?

It was someone she did not know.

The two then went their separate ways after quarreling for some time.

When Su Ziyue returned to her car, her mind was still occupied by how Gong Shuzhe and Liu Zipei

looked while they were having their argument just now.

As Su Yige and Gong Zeyang were engaged, the Gong family and Su family had a close relationship with each other. However, judging from how Gong Shuzhe and Liu Zipei looked just now, it was obvious they were having a dispute.

Gong Shuzhe and Liu Zipei…

Su Ziyue thought there was something weird about them, but she could not pinpoint the exact reason.

It was only when she drove away did a black Bentley drive over from the other direction.

Nan Chuan examined Qin Muchen’s face through the rearview mirror.

Seeing an extremely dark expression on his boss’s face, he was careful not to speak at the wrong timing.

After a long while, Qin Muchen ordered in an icy voice, “Investigate it.”

…

A company gathering was held on Friday night, and Su Ziyue was not interested in it at all at first.

An Xia scurried over excitedly and persuaded her, “Please come along. It’s being held at Lumiere Jade House and the company is going to foot the bill.”

Lumiere Jade House…

“I’m not interested,” Su Ziyue rejected without hesitation,

“Oh come on, you have to be there. Although you’ve ended your thing with Mr. Qin, I’m still trying to get close with Nan Chuan.” An Xia, who was cupping her face with both hands, had an enchanted look on her face.

Shuddering with disgust, Su Ziyue shoved her further away from her before nodding her head. “Fine, I’m going.”

“That’s more like it!”

An Xia made a peace sign at her with her hand before dashing out of her room.

Su Ziyue shook her head and chuckled, seeing how crazy An Xia looked.

Would she bump into… him at Lumiere Jade House?

It was likely…

…

Later at night, Su Ziyue went back home to get changed before going to pick up An Xia.

By the time they reached Lumiere Jade House, most of the people from the company were already there.

When Su Ziyue and Anxie stepped in, they were greeted by some of them. Su Ziyue managed to become a slightly more popular figure in the company thanks to An Xia, who was more of a people person.

Su Ziyue gave the place a cursory glance to find that Su Yige was nowhere in sight.

“Where’s Su Yige?” she asked An Xia.

“She’s not coming.” An Xia turned around and whispered into her ears, “I’m not dumb enough to invite you to a gathering with her around.”

Su Ziyue was speechless as she found what An Xia said hilarious.

The gathering was nothing much other than feasting and drinking.

Halfway through, An Xia sneaked away to look for Nan Chuan, and it went without saying that Su Ziyue did not follow her.

After having a few drinks, she walked out of the private room and made her way to the restroom.

The moment she stepped out of the private room, the door of the one next to hers happened to be opened at the same time, and a man who looked familiar to her came out—Mu Ninghui.

Enemies were indeed bound to meet each other no matter how much they avoided each other.

She retreated back into her private room and opened the door a crack.

Then, she saw Mu Ninghui limping his way past her.

She recalled that Qin Muchen had once told her that he had broken one of Mu Ninghui’s legs. Judging from the way he walked, his leg was indeed quite severely injured.

She supposed the blow had struck his knee.

Casually, she took an empty beer bottle and followed him. This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

There had been bad blood between Su Ziyue and him, consisting of both old and recent grudges. So, it was only logical for her to do something to him to avenge herself as the chance to catch him alone did not always come by everyday.

Mu Ninghui, who had stepped into the restroom, was followed by Su Ziyue behind his back. She aimed the empty beer bottle at his head and gave it a strike. Because she did not exert too much strength, the beer bottle did not break.

Swiftly, she then landed a kick on his ass, causing him to stumble forward onto the floor.

“Damn it, who’s attacking me… Argh…”

Stepping on his back, Su Ziyue gave his arms, shoulders and back a round of random punches instead of continuing to hit his head.

“Who are you…”

Su Ziyue kept mum. Of course she would not reveal her identity to him.

Suddenly, the door of one of the toilet cubicles opened.

Su Ziyue, who was terror-stricken, quickly tossed the beer bottle aside and was ready to take to her heels. Yet, she stood rooted to the spot when she saw the face of the man inside the cubicle clearly.

When Qin Muchen walked out of the toilet cubicle, he happened to meet Mu Ninghui’s eyes as he struggled to get back on his feet.

Mu Ninghui’s face became distorted with rage and hatred all at once when he saw Qin Muchen. “It’s you again! Great, I was worried that I wouldn’t be able to settle the score with you!”
