Chapter 15
Everyone immediately snapped back to attention when she called ‘Grandpa’. So she was the other lady of the Su Family; her father was Su Youcheng’s eldest son, who was in prison.
Although they did not speak, Su Ziyue could feel that their words were already directly written on their faces.
“Why are you here?” Su Youcheng frowned, the wrinkles on his forehead creasing deeply. It was evident that he absolutely did not want to see Su Ziyue here.
Right then, Su Yige abruptly stood up. “Ziyue is probably looking for me. Let’s
With that, Su Yige approached her.
Su Ziyue evaded Su Yige’s attempt to take her hand. Her voice was icy cold. “I’m here for Grandpa.”
Su Yige’s hand hung awkwardly in the air and she turned to glance at Su Youcheng innocently. She then turned to look back, her tone sounding dejected. “Ziyue, please don’t be like this. Regardless…”
Su Youcheng’s voice was full of anger. “If you have anything to say, then speak!”
He had always loved Su Yige because he thought that she was nice and thoughtful, on top of being beautiful and smart. In addition to that, he liked her even more because she was the fiancee to the scion of the Gong Family.
On the other hand, Su Ziyue was a complete good-for-nothing. She had always been kicking up ruckuses ever since she was a child and her grades weren’t anything to write home about. She also looked like she came from an uncultured family; she even tarnished the Su Family’s name by getting involved in improper relationships everywhere.
“Mr. Su, we’ll be leaving first.”
“Something just came up at home…”
The others in the room could read the air. They knew with a glance that Mr. Su was involved in some familial matters, so they took their leave and exited the room.
Once they had all left the room, Su Youcheng roared at Su Ziyue, “What is it? Speak!”
Su Ziyue placed her marriage certificate before Su Youcheng. “Grandpa, I have fulfilled your request. Can you now return the shares that my father left for me?”
Su Youcheng suspiciously eyed the marriage certificate before peering at Su Ziyue. “You’re really married?” Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
Su Ziyue nodded. “Yes.”
Su Youcheng’s forehead creased even more upon hearing Su Ziyue’s confident answer. So someone was actually willing to marry her! Su Youcheng was suspicious.
This granddaughter of his was indeed pretty, but she didn’t have a good reputation, like people from the
upper crust of society usually did. It was precisely because he knew no one would marry her that he told her that, but now, she had actually gotten hitched successfully.
Su Ziyue was worried that he would renege on his words upon seeing Su Youcheng’s wrinkled forehead as he contemplated, so she quickly spoke up. “Grandpa, can you now uphold your end?”
Just then however, Su Yige walked over and flipped the certificate to look at it and saw that the name on it was one that she recognized. A meaningful smile bloomed on her face. She then looked up to say to Su Youcheng, “Grandpa, I know this husband of Ziyue’s.”
Upon hearing that Su Yige knew Su Ziyue’s husband, he asked, “Which family is he from?”
He didn’t care who had married Su Ziyue; he wanted to know whether Su Ziyue’s match was a good one that could bring benefits for the Su Family.
“He just came back from abroad. I had never heard of him and I didn’t know what his job was either. He’s also a little…”
Su Yige paused and turned to glance at Su Ziyue, who stiffened. She knew what Su Yige was going to say next.
“The thing is, this man is the one in that photo. If you don’t believe me, Grandpa, you can ask Ziyue to call him over. In addition to that, I also saw them out shopping together yesterday.”
Su Yige’s tone was gentle. Realization flashed across Su Youcheng’s face upon hearing that. He then picked up the glass on the table and smashed it onto the ground before shaking his head at Su Ziyue. “I thought that my scolding from that day would make you wake up, but I hadn’t thought that you would
still remain as unconscientious as ever. How did you turn out this way as my granddaughter? You married some questionable man just to trick me for those shares!”
