Thoughts gushed through Shi Ze’s mind.
Leaning back against the chair, he threw out casually. “I merely wanted to set your father’s heart at ease, hence the serious words. Seems like I’ve ruined things by accident out of goodwill.”
Qian Xun forced out a smile. “You didn’t ruin things… It’s just that I don’t like people to do things so deliberately. Please understand!”
“I know.”
“Hmm… Make yourself at home. I’ll go check up on my dad’s fumigation.”
“Sure!”
Shi Ze smiled and watched Qian Xun leave. After she was completely gone from his vision, his gaze turned out of the balcony. It was a picturesque view with mountains and streams. However, his gaze was merely turning colder and darker.
There was no one other than Su Qianxun that was more suited to marry him.
But, why would she end up having a meal with Lu Yanzhi? Was it a coincidence because Shi Guang had invited them out for a meal? Or, was it because they had known one another from the start, and there was an ambiguous relationship between them?
Why was it the Lus again?
The mere thought of the Lus had Shi Ze feeling inexplicably uneasy and frustrated. In fact, he could barely contain himself from confronting Qian Xun to question her relationship with Lu Yanzhi.
However, Su Qianxun had already made it really clear to him when they got together—it was nothing but a mere cooperation. Even if there was any relationship between Su Qianxun and Lu Yanzhi, as long as it didn’t affect his company’s stocks, he could not interfere, let alone question.
He had considered the possibility that Su Qianxun would have had a man in the past. But, he had never once thought that it would be Lu Yanzhi!
Those two clearly had no connections!
Every single bit of displeasure and frustration—even the fact that he had no other choice in his life than to depend on the Sus—was dumped by him onto Lu Yanchen.
If Lu Yanchen had helped hide the truth even slightly back then, he would not have lost his father, and neither would he be in this state right now!
Lu Yanchen!
It’s all because of Lu Yanchen!
Why did he not die when he was pushed into the waters back then!
It was Shi Guang.
That’s right.
She’s the one that saved him!
If she did not do that, he would have long died!
Hatred and vengeance were twisting around Shi Ze’s heart. He convinced himself that he could only hide and endure everything right now… for the sake of making Lu Yanchen pay in full in the future!
Sooner or later, he was going to make Lu Yanchen regret that decision back then!
…
Qian Xun knocked the door and entered the room full of steam. Seated on a chair, Old Master Su’s legs were soaked in a tub while a towel covered his ankles firmly, leaving puffs of smoke.
“Why did you leave Shi Ze alone? He came to our place, so you should keep him company.”
“I’ve got tons of time to do that in the future. Right now, I only want to be with my daddy.” Qian Xun sat down at the side. “Does this work?”
“Yeah! After every session, I can climb mountains without my legs trembling even in the slightest!” Old Master Su said while taking his presbyopia spectacles that were covered in fog right now and pushing them on his nose.
Qian Xun took it over and wiped for him. “Don’t go climbing any mountains in the winter right now! Just do some exercises in the garden.”
As they chatted, Qian Xun suddenly recalled her strange suspicions of how Shi Guang resembled her mother while Shi Guang’s sister resembled her. So, she asked casually, “Daddy, the three of us… are we your only children?”
“That’s right.” Old Master Su looked at her oddly. “Why are you suddenly asking that? Don’t tell me that you’re thinking about how that young lass, Shi Guang, is your sister? If you really like her that much, how about I make her my goddaughter? How does that sound?”
“Ha, I think we’d better forget about that. Chief Lu is still a position lower than you in seniority.”
