Chapter 338

"She is my mother."

Qin Muchen said out loud the answer that Su Ziyue had thought about in her mind. At that moment, she panicked as her hand that was on the quilt unconsciously clenched tighter. Her voice was a little erratic as she asked, "She's your mother?" Qin Li is Qin Muchen's mother? She was the victim in my father's case?

She suddenly remembered how she even asked Qin Muchen to help with the investigation about her father. Now that she thought about it, she felt ridiculous. Seeing that Su Ziyue was in shock, Qin Muchen reached out to grab her hand. However, Su Ziyue instantly pulled her hand back. In a shrill voice, she asked, "So, the reason you approached me was because of your mother's case? What were you planning to do?"

A gloomy expression appeared on Qin Muchen's face after he failed to get hold of her hand. With that, Su Ziyue glared at him intently and yelled, "Answer me!"

Qin Muchen looked at her seriously and he calmly replied, "Yes, I am not denying the reason for my approaching you in the beginning was because of my mother. It was very suspicious back then and I couldn' replace out what really happened at that time. My grandfather even sent someone to deal with her funeral affairs so I didn't know much about the case."

Hearing this, Su Ziyue took a deep breath and turned to look out the window, not wanting to meet Qin Muchen's gaze. She didn't know what to say about his confession. After a while, she turned to look at him and questioned, "So, approaching me was one of your means of investigation?"

Her words made Qin Muchen frown slightly. "Even if I didn't re-investigate the case, I would still be looking for you."

Su Ziyue didn't speak with a doubtful expression on her face. From the very beginning, Qin Muchen appeared mysteriously in my life. He seemed like the perfect man, staying by my side and wouldn't leave no matter what I did. I don't believe that he insists on being with me because he fell in love with my looks or because we had slept together. Even if Qin Muchen is sticking with me just so that he can investigate the case further, he doesn't need to come this far. Su Ziyue pressed on, "Why?"

With a trace of nostalgia, Qin Muchen replied softly, "I met you a long time ago.”

At that moment, Qin Muchen remembered that one day that happened ten years ago. After he came home from school, his mother happily asked, "How about I replace you a little sister?"

Then, he met Su Ziyue. It was his mother who secretly brought him to see her. At that time, Su Ziyue was around eight years old. She had pink, tender skin, her hair was combed into a princess bun, and she wore a pink dress, like a little lady. Her eyes were big and bright when she smiled, which shone brilliantly like the blossoms in springtime.

His mother asked, "Isn't she pretty? She's adorable, don't you think?" She was full of joy and seemed to like Su Ziyue a lot, just like how she liked Su Ziyue's father, Su Yizi.

Su Ziyue couldn't understand what his words meant so she inquired further, "What?"

"My mother grew up in the Mogwin family but she was the most unruly of all. After she became an adult, she returned to China. She gave birth to me at a young age but I've never met my father before. When I was thirteen years old, she came to Yunzhou City where she met your father. Not long after, she told me that she wanted to start a new family." When Qin Muchen said this, he stopped and looked at Su Ziyue.

Su Ziyue was in a daze for a moment. When she came back to her senses, she asked him uncertainly, "Are you saying that your mother and my father were lovers back then?" After she finished speaking, she shook her head in self denial and concluded, "It can't be. If it was true, I would remember something about this. Moreover, my father would have never kept this from me."

"Yes, your father didn't keep it from you because he never accepted my mother's love pursuits. He loved you deeply so he was afraid that you'd replace it difficult to adapt to a new family. However, in the end, he was moved by my mother's love. They planned to take you out to meet us officially after that charity dinner."

Qin Muchen suddenly stopped speaking. After the charity dinner, they lost the chance to meet up with each other. Qin Li had died and Su Yizi had become a suspect. Su Ziyue knew nothing about this and Qin Muchen was picked up by someone his grandfather sent. They never became a family. Su Ziyue, who should have been treasured by Su Yizi and raised like a princess, entered the Su family.

Qin Yuchuan was so heartbroken from Qin Li's death that he brought Qin Muchen away with him and didn't allow him to return to China. Even though Qin Muchen didn't return, he was not living in the Mogwin mansion either. The hands of fate changed both their lives. Su Ziyue pursed her lips slightly and thought about the most important point...

"You... You don't believe that my father killed your mother?" stammered Su Ziyue. Qin Muchen shook his head and patted her head coaxingly. Then he said calmly, "I don't believe it. I believe in my mother's judgement, just like how you believe in your father."

Indeed, he used to suspect that Su Yizi was a hypocrite and that it was possible that he was the real murderer. However, because of Su Ziyue, he changed his mind. Furthermore, the series of events that occurred coupled with the information that he learned, proved that Su Yizi was undoubtedly not the culprit. The real murderer was someone else who had not only killed Qin Li, but also Su Yizi.

"Why are you in a daze?" Seeing that Su Ziyue was silent, Qin Muchen reached out and pulled her into his arms. Then, he gently patted her back. He was actually afraid that she would blame him.

If it weren't for Qin Muchen and Qin Li, or the death of the latter, Su Yizi perhaps would still be alive and well. And as for Su Ziyue, she would be able to grow up happily without enduring such unnecessary suffering in the Su family. This was why from the beginning, he had decided that he would take care of her and would never give a moment's consideration of divorcing her.

Su Ziyue looked up at him. "Then why were you unwilling to tell me when I first asked you about it?"

After a moment of hesitation, Qin Muchen responded, "If I had told you all of these back then, are you sure that you wouldn't hate me?"

Hearing this, Su Ziyue lowered her eyes slightly and didn't say anything further. Her silence meant that she had admitted it. If Qin Muchen had told her all of these in the beginning, she would have never accepted him. Before he told her these things, he was just a mysterious man that was almost perfect. If he were to divulge everything to her at that time, he would be a person that was connected to her father's case, and it would be hard to guarantee that she wouldn't be mad about it. I never thought that he had considered so much from the start.

With that, the two of them cuddled together in silence. After a while, Su Ziyue suddenly remembered something else as she prompted, "Did you look for Su Yuanming the other day?" Qin Muchen's body stiffened slightly but he didn't deny. Instead, he truthfully replied, "Yes." Su Ziyue bit her lip and asked, "Then... where is my father right now?"
