Chapter 1410: Chapter 1410: Resentful Malice
The people from the gambling house ca calling; Su Muze instinctively wanted to protect Xiao Yu, to keep her from getting hurt.
Su Muze hoped Xiao Yu would be fine, but when he saw Xiao Yu leaving ruthlessly and without looking back, his heart was filled with an indescribable unpleasant feeling.
Deep down, Su Muze wished that Xiao Yu could stay and help him, or at least call for soone to help, instead of leaving him to be beaten alone at the docks.
After all, it was for Xiao Yu’s sake that he had gotten involved with those people from the gambling house. The person who owed silver to the gambling house was Xiao Yu’s cousin, and it was for Xiao Yu that he took on her cousin’s gambling debt. For Xiao Yu, he had even severed his ties with the Su Family.
Yet Xiao Yu had just left like that.
Could it be as my sister and Xiuxiu claid? That Xiao Yu had an ulterior motive toward him, Su Muze, and didn’t truly like him?
At the thought of this possibility.
Su Muze imdiately denied such a possibility. No, it couldn’t be; how could Miss Xiao, kind and gentle as she is, have ulterior motives towards him?
Su Muze felt that Miss Xiao left him alone at the docks today, turning a blind eye, must be because he had hurt her before, and that was why she acted so.
Miss Xiao thought he didn’t want to help her get a job at Prince Qi Residence, so she ran away heartbroken. No, he couldn’t let Miss Xiao misunderstand him. Su Muze decided that he had to find Miss Xiao and explain himself properly. To convince her that what he said was true. He really had broken off with the Su Family.
As for Miss Xiao’s desire to enter the Wang Residence, Su Muze was too ashad to ask his sister; he could only speak to Miss Xiao sincerely, and persuade her to give up on the idea of going to the Wang Residence.
Having co to this understanding, Su Muze felt at ease about Miss Xiao not caring about his affairs. It wasn’t that Miss Xiao didn’t care about him; it was because he had hurt her that she ran off angry.
Comforting himself, Su Muze let out a wry smile. Looking down at his bruised body, he knew he still needed to go back to the docks to change out of his soiled clothes.
Now his clothing was not only covered in mud but also stained with traces of blood. Dressed like this, it wouldn’t be proper for him to work at the docks. Moving slightly, Su Muze attempted to stand up, and to his surprise found that his left leg seed unable to move, and any movent caused unbearable pain.
Having watched his father Su Zhongshi set bones for village livestock since he was young, Su Muze knew all too well that his leg was probably broken by those n from the gambling house.
A chill went through his heart.
Done for!
His leg was broken.
What should he do now?
Su Muze didn’t know how to set bones, and his money had been stolen; he had no silver to pay a doctor to nd his broken leg.
Su Muze lay on the docks.
He had never felt so desperate in his life.
