57: Chapter 57 Bullet Hole 57: Chapter 57 Bullet Hole “Wow, it’s Armani, brother-in-law, when did you become so rich?” Su Ziqing grabbed the black coat, examining it carefully. Armani is a well-known luxury brand, not something the average office worker can afford. “That’s not right, brother-in-law, when did you start buying Armani clothes?” Su Ziqing knew Ye Shikai’s spending habits quite well; he usually didn’t buy expensive clothes, let alone designer brands. This made her a bit curious. “Brother-in-law, be honest with me, do you have someone else on the side?” Suddenly, Su Ziqing turned around and faced herself, speaking coldly with a hint of anger in her eyes. “Qingqing, what do you mean by that? Can’t I buy myself a nice piece of clothing?” Ye Shikai felt guilty, but he still mustered enough courage to speak, although he was getting a bit angry too. It was true that the coat was a gift from Luo Shiqi, but Su Ziqing’s attitude also irritated him. “Alright, brother-in-law, my bad, I shouldn’t have doubted you.” Su Ziqing had intended to press for answers, but upon seeing Ye Shikai’s angry expression, she did not pursue further. However, her gaze did not leave the coat. Although she was usually jolly and carefree, Su Ziqing was quite sharp when it mattered most. She strongly believed that coat was not bought by Ye Shikai. So, who gave it to him? Ye Shikai took out a blue suit that Su Qingyu bought for him from the wardrobe. “Wow, brother-in-law, this suit looks great.” “Yeah, your sister bought this one for me.” Ye Shikai slowly put on the suit, complete with a black tie. He looked like a mature man; indeed, clothes make the man. “Wow, brother-in-law, you look so handsome.” Su Ziqing’s eyes sparkled with little stars, and then she glanced unintentionally at Ye Shikai’s wardrobe and said, “By the way, brother-in-law, could you go downstairs and get me a drink? I’m a bit thirsty.” “Oh, sure, I’ll go get it. You wait here.” After saying that, Ye Shikai turned and left the room. Su Ziqing poked her head out, watching Ye Shikai go downstairs and listening to his footsteps fade away. Then she tiptoed towards Ye Shikai’s wardrobe, giggling. Brother-in-law, let’s see what secrets you have. She quietly opened Ye Shikai’s wardrobe, took out the black coat, spread it on the bed, and took a photo with her phone. “Hmph, stinky brother-in-law, I want to see where this coat came from.” Su Ziqing muttered to herself, a smug smile on her face. “Huh, what’s this?” Her eyes landed on the shoulder of the coat, where there was a visible hole in the shoulder of the black coat. “How did it get torn?” Su Ziqing put her finger through the hole, which was as big as a finger. She examined it closely. “This is...” Su Ziqing noticed something carefully, there were some stains around the hole, which seemed like... “Bloodstains,” suddenly, Su Ziqing gasped with surprise. That’s right, these were dried bloodstains, but why would there be bloodstains on the coat? If they were bloodstains, then this hole is... a bullet hole. Su Ziqing’s hand trembled with fright, causing the clothes to drop to the floor. Why, why would her brother-in-law’s clothes have a bullet hole? Could it be he was shot? Looking at this hole in the clothing, Su Ziqing felt as if she had seen the moment Ye Shikai was shot; the bloody scene was unimaginable. “Thud thud thud” Suddenly, sounds came from the staircase, which snapped Su Ziqing out of her thoughts. She hurriedly put the clothes back into the wardrobe, “Qingqing, here, your drink.” Right at the moment Su Ziqing closed the wardrobe, the room’s door also opened. Thank god, he didn’t notice. “Ah... Thank you, brother-in-law.” Su Ziqing pretended to be very thirsty and chugged a gulp of the drink, “Brother-in-law, let me continue helping you dress up.” Putting the drink aside, Su Ziqing adjusted Ye Shikai’s clothing. It is said women naturally have a knack for dressing up; Su Ziqing was busy for a full half an hour helping Ye Shikai to look his best. “Ha ha, all set.” Su Ziqing laughed, looking at the mature and charming man in front of her. Although she knew it was her brother-in-law, she couldn’t help but be moved, as if a small deer was frantically running in her heart. Ye Shikai stood in front of the mirror, and after being carefully dressed up, his attractiveness had increased by several levels; he could definitely be called a male god now. Suddenly, the sound of keys turning in a lock was heard by their side, Su Qingyu was back, “Brother-in-law, let’s go downstairs and let my sister see how handsome you are,” Su Ziqing smiled, confident in her makeup and styling skills. She had always been trying to set up Su Qingyu and Ye Shikai; today seemed like a good opportunity. The two of them slowly descended the stairs, just in time to see Su Qingyu sitting on the sofa, “Hehe, sister, look how handsome brother-in-law is.” Following Su Ziqing’s gaze, Su Qingyu slowly lifted her head, and upon seeing Ye Shikai in his suit, her eyes suddenly sparkled with delight. After being meticulously dressed up, Ye Shikai must be the male god in every girl’s heart. Even though Su Qingyu had high standards, her face still flushed slightly, a minor detail that Su Ziqing caught. Hehe, it seems this effort in dressing up wasn’t wasted. “Qingqing, let’s go upstairs and change,” she said, then turned to Ye Shikai with a somewhat embarrassed expression, “You wait here for a bit.” “Alright, you and Qingqing go ahead, I’ll wait for you in the living room.” Ye Shikai sat quietly on the sofa by himself. Speaking of women dressing up and putting on makeup, that could be quite time-consuming. It took more than an hour before the two sisters came downstairs. They wore evening gowns of the same design, Su Ziqing’s pure white and Su Qingyu’s jet black. The sisters, who already resembled each other to some degree, showed off two different styles complemented by the dresses: Su Qingyu exuded an air of nobility, while Su Ziqing exhibited pure and youthful charm. “Brother-in-law, what do you think, who looks better, me or my sister?” Su Ziqing asked cheerfully, hooking her arm with Ye Shikai’s. Ye Shikai was stunned as he looked at the two sisters; to any man, they would be an absolute weapon of allure. A single laugh could turn all the charms alive. “Er...” Ye Shikai was dumbstruck as he looked at Su Ziqing, then glanced at Su Qingyu. One was a cute goddess, the other a noble ice queen; this was indeed a tough question to answer. “Qingqing, we should get going. The banquet is about to start,” Su Qingyu said. Although she and Ye Shikai didn’t have much of an emotional foundation, when she heard Su Ziqing’s question just now, for some reason, from the bottom of her heart, she really hoped that Ye Shikai would say her name.
