C223 Su Shan

Su Shan was older than Yuchen and was about the same age as Qin Mu. Her background was very pitiful. She could be considered a daughter in distress. Qin Mu's grandfather and Su Shan's grandfather were friends when they were young. So something happened to Su Shan's family. Her parents passed away. Her grandfather also had a serious illness and knew that he wouldn't be able to live for long. So he entrusted Su Shan to Qin Mu's grandfather. Sure enough, he passed away not long after.

When Qin Mu's grandfather brought Su Shan back, she had just become an adult and followed Qin Mu all day long. It was just that Qin Mu's personality was too cold. He held hostility and wariness towards almost everyone. He treated Su Shan even more so. After that, as the two of them grew up, everyone gradually grew up. Qin Mu no longer had any hostility towards Su Shan when she was young, but he also did not have much affection towards her. It was only after Su Shan graduated from the medical college and stayed by Qin Mu's grandfather's side to take care of his body that Qin Mu slowly became friendly with her.

However, in a family like Medbris, there was a huge difference between a legitimate child and a person who was raised by his side. Although Qin Mu's grandfather treated Su Shan very well, the relatives and servants of Medbury did not treat her as their master. In the end, she was just a pitiful person who lived under someone else's roof. But later on, everyone gradually saw through her intentions. Su Shan liked Qin Mu, but Qin Mu's attitude was very cold. Qin Mu's grandfather's attitude was also hard to guess.

However, as Qin Mu grew older, he never had a girlfriend. Everyone guessed that Su Shan might become the mistress of the Mordebres family in the future. From then on, everyone's attitude towards Su Shan became more friendly. Later on, it was said that the young master got a girlfriend. It was just that not long after they heard about it, they broke up. There were also people who said that the girl had gone missing. Anyway, their young master had returned to being single, but at that time, he seemed to have changed into another person. He was busy with work all day, and he rarely went back to the castle. Su Shan rarely saw him either.

No one would have thought that the young master would return to France more than a year later. He actually brought his wife back. This news shocked the entire Modebris family. Although they had vaguely heard of this matter before, everyone thought that it was just a rumor. Even the servants in the castle could not believe that the young master of Modebris would casually marry a woman, and the old master actually did not say a single word. Therefore, everyone believed that the old master would definitely not let that woman have an easy time.

However, just a grandson actually made the family head of Medbris so happy that he could not close his mouth. It was really too shocking.

Therefore, Su Shan's current position was even more awkward. However, she acted as if nothing had happened. It really made people unable to guess what she was thinking.

"Hello, I am Su Shan." Su Shan paused for a moment as if she was thinking, but she quickly continued, "My grandfather and Qin Mu's grandfather are good friends, so I have lived here since I was young."

Su Shan had a mixed-blood face, but she did not expect her Mandarin to have no accent at all. This point alone was enough to surprise Yuchen.

"Hello." Yuchen politely nodded towards the other party and then turned her head to ask the butler beside her, "Do you have spaghetti or something like that?"

"Yes, whatever kind of spaghetti the young madam likes, you can tell me. I will ask the kitchen staff to cook it." The butler, Mubai, immediately replied.

"Seafood pasta or minced meat pasta..." Yuchen hesitated for a moment.

Su Shan continued, "Why don't you try my seafood noodles? I brought fresh seafood this morning. You can try it."

To be honest, Yuchen really did not like people who talked to themselves like this. Of course, if the other party's friendliness and enthusiasm could be a little more sincere, she would be more willing to interact with her. However, the other party was not a servant after all, so she could not possibly ask the other party to do this and that as soon as she arrived. Otherwise, if others found out, they would even think that Qin Mu had married such a delicate princess.

"Seafood spaghetti, please. Mubai, please ask the kitchen staff to help prepare the ingredients." Qin Mu's voice suddenly sounded.

"Are you done with your work?" Yuchen tilted her head and saw Qin Mu walk to her side. She naturally smiled at him. "You don't believe in my culinary skills?"

Qin Mu's gaze on Yuchen was full of pampering. Even the people beside him could feel it.

"Choo Yang said that they are making cows and horses upstairs. I have to make something to reward them." Qin Mu smiled and answered her. He then said to Mubai, "If there is steak at home, prepare some."

"Chef Qin is going to show off his skills?" Yuchen covered her mouth and laughed secretly, "Then I also want the soup. I heard that the ingredients for the French soup are different from those in China."

This time, without Qin Mu needing to say anything, Mubai continued by the side, "Okay, I will go and ask someone to prepare the ingredients now."

Qin Mu's gaze had not even left Yuchen for a second since he walked in. He did not even glance at Su Shan for a second. Such a huge difference made her unable to suppress the disappointment in her heart. She had known him since she was a teenager, but she had never seen him like this. He always pursed his thin lips, his eyes revealed coldness and indifference. He was like a person who lived forever in a world of ice and snow, never willing to open the door for others to enter. And he was also unwilling to walk out.

This Su Yuchen, what kind of magic did she have? Why did she make him seem like a different person?

"Qin Mu." Su Shan could not help but greet him. When she saw the distant look in his eyes, she only nodded slightly and remained indifferent.

"Su Shan, grandpa previously said that you might be back in a few days. Why are you back so soon?" Qin Mu greeted her symbolically.

"The academic conference is over. I heard you are back. So..." The smile on Su Shan's face did not decrease as she replied unhurriedly. However, it was obvious that the person opposite her did not care about her answer as his gaze was always on Yuchen.

Yuchen was walking to the side of the kitchen's bar counter. Qin Mu did not finish listening to Su Shan's words and also followed. He smiled as he watched her play with the exquisite dishes on the bar counter. He knew that this girl liked these flashy little things.

His attitude almost made Su Shan clench her fists. Mubai saw all of this in his eyes. He secretly sighed. He had watched Su Shan and Qin Mu grow up. Especially Su Shan, this delicate little girl had grown up to be such a gentle and quiet lady. She had learned almost everything, and she had learned everything very well. Others might not know, but Mubai could see it very clearly. She was probably trying her best to make herself more outstanding in order to be worthy of Qin Mu.

However, the heavens had played a huge joke on her. It turned out that Qin Mu had never liked a perfect lady, but a seemingly ordinary girl like Su Yuchen. Su Shan clenched her fists tightly. No one knew. Actually, it was not her first time seeing Su Yuchen. In fact, a few years ago... She had already seen her.

At that time, she and Qin Mu kissed under the Eiver Iron Tower, which was bustling with people. She still remembered that scene very clearly.

She looked at them, and the gentleness in her eyes became stronger and stronger, and the corners of her mouth raised slightly.

Su Yuchen could disappear once, so naturally she could disappear a second time.
