Chapter 36
When Su Ziyue woke up, the room was already empty.
As the window was open, the wind from outside blew in and the curtains billowed in the breeze.
She sat herself up on the bed, but the moment her bare feet touched the ground, the phone started ringing.
It was from Qin Muchen.
He carefully instructed through the phone, “The breakfast on the table should be cold by now. Put it in the microwave and heat it up before you eat it.”
There were faint noises of pages flipping on the other end of the line; Si Ziyue guessed that he was in his office.
After walking to the dining table, she saw the breakfast which Qin Muchen had prepared for her. A smile subconsciously appeared on her lips, and her voice sounded a little delighted. “Hello? Are you busy?”
Qin Muran was quiet for a few seconds before his voice was heard once again. “Yes. I’m at work.”
He was at work?
Su Ziyue switched the phone to her other hand before asking Qin Muchen a question that took him by surprise. “Where do you work at?”
The faint noise of pages flipping from the other end of the line stopped. “I work at a small company, but supporting you won’t be a problem.”
There was a moment of silence; that was not what she meant. She was only asking him out of curiosity.
“In that case, please continue with your work. I’m hanging up now.”
Su Ziyue could feel her heart racing after hanging up the call; she wasn’t physically disabled. Why would she need him to support her? He’s crazy!
She then remembered what happened at the Su Family’s mansion last night.
Qin Muchen held her hands while being surrounded by bodyguards; he had a composed look and seemed like he was fearless.
She then realized that Qin Muchen was quite different from ordinary men; he was much more confident, wiser, and mature, giving people a strong sense of trustworthiness.
He had told her that he wanted to spend the rest of his life with her multiple times.
Come to think of it, spending the rest of her life with Qin Muchen did not seem like a bad thing after all.
He was treating her too well for her liking; he was extremely caring regardless of the importance of the matter.
Su Ziyue kept thinking about it while washing her face. Suddenly, she touched the wound on her head by accident, and the pain woke her up slightly.
She suddenly remembered that she had severed her relationship with Grandpa last night.
When she returned to the country, Su Yige had worked with Mu Ninghui to plot against her. Now, Su Youcheng had thrown her into the pit just so that their family could have a strong cooperation with the Mu Family.
There was no place for her in the Su Family; with this, there was no way she could return there.
Nevertheless, she would not let go of the issue regarding her shares that easily.
As for the prison which her father was locked up in, she would definitely find out where he was.
…
After breakfast, Su Ziyue prepared to leave the house.
She had distinct memories of everything that happened when she was nine.
After her grandmother had passed away, her grandfather married his current wife—Liu Zipei—and even bore a child together, who was Su Yige’s father. Thus, her father moved out the moment he got married.
After that incident, her father was not arrested immediately; he went to look for a lawyer that night and had brought Su Ziyue with him.
However, her father was soon arrested after that. She was then brought to the Su Family, marking the beginning of her agonizing days with her relatives. In the end, there were rumors about Su Youcheng sending her overseas because she had an abortion.
She also did not know if she could locate the lawyer from back then.
She could vaguely remember the lawyer’s address and surname, but whether she could locate him or not, she would only find out after giving it a shot.
Her phone started ringing as soon as Su Ziyue got down from the car.
Whipping out her phone to check the caller, she realized that it was An Xia.
“An Xia.” Su Ziyue was walking toward the alley based on her vague memories while answering the call.
An Xia’s voice was quite soft, and Su Ziyue could hear her echo; she must be calling her from the pantry. “Why are you not at work today? That b*tch, Su Yige, dropped by just now. I was so busy the entire morning that I just realized you didn’t come for work.”
“I…” Su Ziyue stopped in her tracks. How was she supposed to explain it to her?
“Also, why did you leave first when we were at the bar that day? You didn’t even ask me to leave together!” An Xia sounded like she was grumbling.
Su Ziyue touched the wound on her head. “I suddenly felt ill, so I left first. If not, you would have had to send me home afterward.”
An Xia let out a scoff. “Excuses.”
Su Ziyue knew that she wasn’t really angry and did not care about it. “I’ve officially broken up with the Su Family, so I don’t think I’ll be going back to work anymore. I still have something to handle, and I will treat you to a meal when we meet next time as an apology.”
After hanging up the phone, Su Ziyue breathed a sigh of relief. Before the wound on her head was healed, she did not dare to meet An Xia. Meanwhile, An Xia was not a fool either; she connected the dots and figured out what was going on.
Su Ziyue continued walking forward and remembered that the lawyer’s surname should be Fu.
Coincidentally, there was a person walking in her direction, so Su Ziyue asked, “Hello, may I ask if there’s a male lawyer who goes by the surname Fu staying here? He should be in his 50s or 60s.”
The person waved his hand and replied, “I’m sorry. I just moved here today, so I’m not that sure about it.”
“It’s fine, thank you.”Su Ziyue thanked the person smilingly before she continued to walk forward.
This was at the Laocheng District in Yunzhou City; it was mostly occupied by the elder citizens of Yunzhou City. If the old lawyer by the surname of Fu still lived here, someone would surely know him.
Su Ziyue was in deep thought as she walked. When she lifted her eyes, she saw two familiar silhouettes that flashed past at a corner.
Why were they here?
