Chapter 145: Past Case (3)

When the topic came to Old Master He, Su Qiuzi was stunned for a moment, then smiled and asked, “How is your grandfather these days?”

“He’s doing fine.” Master He was suffering from lung problems as well as asthma, which was worse in winter but would get much better in the summer.

After saying this, Su Qiuzi had nothing to talk about. Sensing the girl’s silence, He Yu raised his eyes to look at her and asked, “Do you want to go visit him? When I return next month we can go together.”

“Forget it.” Su Qiuzi shrank her shoulders and she added, “Better not make your grandfather angry again.”

The girl’s expression didn’t change much, even as she smiled at him when he looked at her. The things that happened on the New Year’ s Eve, despite the reassurance he made, she still took it to heart.

The only sound in the living room was the peeling of fruit knives as Su Qiuzi did take it to heart, Su Qiuzi pondered for a while and asked, “If my mother hadn’t cheated on my father by eloping with the driver, would your grandfather have accepted me?”

The man moved slightly, the intact apple skin disconnected from his hand. He looked up at her, his eyes signifying uncertainty. Su Qiuzi didn’t probe deeper, she answered herself, “Though I guess it’s still a no, there’s still my father.”

Another reason why Old Master He couldn’t let go of his old grudges so much was because every time he fell ill, he was reminded of what Su Gongcheng had done to the He Family. He couldn’t forgive Su Gongcheng, nor could he forgive her.

It was really too complicated. Eventually, Su Qiuzi frowned.

“Qiuzi.” He Yu called out to her as he peeled the rest of the apple clean.

“Hm?” She looked up at him.

The man’s eyes looked at her quietly and said, “You don’t need to bear this by yourself.”

Su Qiuzi’s eyes flickered.

Putting down the fruit knife in his hand, He Yu only had a peeled apple in his hand, he gazed at her and told her, “You don’t need to care about my grandfather’s opinion, you are you, your parents are your parents, you have nothing to do with any of this.”

“You don’t belong to anyone ……” He Yu’s lips were curled lightly and he whispered, “You only belong to me, you are my wife.”

The girl sat on the couch with her arms around her knees and smiled as she listened to him finish. Her eyes glowed as she jumped into his arms. He smiled and held her in his arms, lowered his head and kissed the top of her eyes and asked, ” An apple?”

“Don’t eat that.” Su Qiuzi wrapped her arms around the man’s neck, she bit his ear and chuckled, “The apple is nowhere near as good as me.”

The man in her ear chuckled softly, but when Su Qiuzi became bashful in his hindsight, he put the apple down, picked her up off his body and went into the bedroom.

Su Qiuzi became a minor hit on Weibo, showing some improvement in the show’s ratings. If the ratings kept up the way they were now, the station might adjust her show to air at 10pm on New Year’s Day.

This was good news, the same day the news was received, the program crew joyfully organized a get together dinner. And at this dinner, they ran into the criminal police team again.

Su Qiuzi didn’t go out to make a phone call this time, after the last time he and He Yu were separated from Jing City, he returned to Christchurch and was much busier at work, the two of them rarely communicated with each other lately.

But it didn’t matter if they didn’t talk on the phone, it was about to be mid-August and He Yu would be back in China in a week.

She had been chatting with Xu Siru and the others in the booth about the program, she had drunk too much alcohol and went to the bathroom midway through the conversation. When she came out of the bathroom, Su Qiuzi wiped the drops of water from her hands, but when she looked up, she saw a man standing in the corridor.

It was dark now and the hallway was lit with flickering lights, casting a dark shadow over him as he held a cigarette between his fingers, making it shade in the light. Sensing her coming out, the man looked up, his eyes having a vicissitude and depth that was not befitting his age.

“I looked up some stuff on your mom and my dad’s case, do you want to talk a little?” Luo Fan said.
