Chapter 10
Su Ziyue sat on a couch in a clothing shop, a magazine in her hands. Her gaze, however, was distracted.
She had never purposely caught herself up with Gong Zeyang's whereabouts during her four years abroad, nor had she seen him. However, she hadn't thought that she would meet him again under such circumstances.
It was because she knew that he and Su Yige were already engaged. She knew this very well, so all she could do was pine after him in secret.
Rumor had it that they would be holding their wedding soon.
A saleslady approached her. With a slight incline, she spoke to Su Ziyue in a respectful tone. "Ma'am, your husband has changed his outfit. What do you think?"
Those working in sales were all sly. They knew that women were picky, so whenever they saw a husband-and-wife duo coming into the shop, they had to win the wife's favor first. They just had to make the lady happy and please her. Men were prideful things; they would buy anything no matter how expensive it was.
"Oh, okay..." Su Ziyue returned to reality. When she looked up, she immediately noticed Qin Muchen, who was looking at her as he stood in front of the mirror.
He seemed to rather like the color black. He had been dressed in a black shirt the first time she saw him and he was dressed in another black shirt on this day. Even the shirt he picked out now was black as well.
Qin Muchen was tall at nearly 190 centimeters. He was completely a natural born hanger for clothes; he wouldn't even need to put an outfit together as he would look good in anything.
"How is it?" Qin Muchen had initially thought of going inside to change out of the outfit, but he decided to ask her when he saw how she kept staring at him.
Su Ziyue realized that she had indeed been staring at him for quite a while, so she replied without much thought, "Uh, it... it looks okay. It might be nicer if you get a different color though."
She looked around and then got up to pick up a white shirt. "Why don't you try white?"
Qin Muchen frowned lightly, but he still took the shirt into the fitting room to change into it.
The door to the fitting room closed. Su Ziyue heaved a sigh of relief and sat back down. However, she hadn't even finished her sigh when Gong Zeyang suddenly charged in and pulled her out.
It was only when Gong Zeyang dragged her over to a deserted stairwell that he released her. His tone was filled with heavy disappointment when he spoke. "Ziyue, when did you become like this?"
"What did Su Yige tell you?"
Su Ziyue could guess that Su Yige must have told him something when she heard those words.
When she recalled what had happened a few days ago, she suddenly paled.
Sometimes she wondered why Su Yige was always at odds with her, when Su Yige was constantly showered with more attention than her in the Su Family and was more well-liked by others.
Gong Zeyang frowned, disgruntled. "Yige is your older sister. She cares for you so much, so why can't you understand her pain?"
"Her pain?" Su Ziyue couldn't help but laugh self-depreciatingly. "She has indeed gone through a lot of pain. She went through so much trying to torture me, and all you ever do is believe her words!"
"Su Ziyue!" Gong Zeyang was angry now. She had been a good little girl back then. Why was she so mule-headed now that she had grown up?
Su Ziyue suddenly felt mournful. Why did she have a crush on Gong Zeyang for so many years?
"You believed her when she said that I stole my family's money! You believed her when she said I had an abortion! You believed her no matter what she said, so why did you even look for me if you've already made your own judgement?"
She recalled how Qin Muchen furiously snatched the camera out of the reporter's hand, then she glanced at Gong Zeyang; all of a sudden, she felt that she didn't like him as much as before.
"You..." Gong Zeyang was rendered speechless by her questioning. He simply explained in a low voice, "Yige has been kind ever since she was young. She would never lie to anyone, and I also believe that you won't be like your father..."
"Shut up!" Su Ziyue was so livid that she trembled.
So that was the reason Gong Zeyang chose to believe Su Yige.
It was all because she had a father who was in prison, so no matter how Su Yige accused her, he would always unconditionally believe Su Yige. He wouldn't choose to believe what Su Ziyue had to say.
So that's how it is.
Gong Zeyang also realized that he had said something unforgivable, but the environment he was raised in never allowed him to acquiesce and apologize. All he could do was steel himself and continue, "Actually, if it wasn't for your father, I..."
"Mr. Gong."
