“She’s not a princess, but her father holds military power,” Su Ziqing explained in a small, uncommon foreign language that the two of them could communicate in.

"Ha." Feng Xixuan's eyes were full of disdain. "So what?"

"Senior brother, this is China..." Please don't act so arrogant.

Gong Chengjue had just returned when he saw Su Enen. His expression darkened. Why was she always there?

Completely ignoring her wailing, Gong Chengjue went straight to Su Ziqing and asked, "Did she come to bother you again?"

“…Well, I guess so.” If Feng Xixuan hadn’t interrupted Su Enen, she probably would have caused her trouble.

Upon hearing her affirmative answer, Gong Chengjue abandoned his usual forbearance and stared coldly at Su Enen, "Su Enen, I seem to recall reminding you not to provoke Ziqing again. Otherwise, I won't be as easy to talk to as before."

The Su family is powerful, and it's indeed inappropriate for him to offend them at this time. However, if they keep refusing to listen to reason, then they shouldn't blame him for not showing them any respect.

Su Enen was in so much pain that she was sweating profusely, while Feng Xixuan, who had bullied her, looked completely innocent.

Others who wanted to chime in to ease the tension chose to remain silent after seeing Gong Chengjue's expression and attitude.

Gong Chengjue immediately convicted her, but Su Enen was in so much pain that she couldn't even speak.

But the Su family members were nowhere to be found.

Gong Chengjue stepped forward...

"Oh? I wonder how you intend to treat my daughter, Mr. Gong!" Chief Su, dressed in military uniform, arrived late and just happened to hear what Gong Chengjue had just said.

"Dad..." Upon seeing her savior, Su Enen almost immediately burst into tears, "They're bullying us."

Su Ziqing: "..." Please, she was the one who provoked them first, okay?

Also, I'd like to ask everyone, who's bullying whom...?

This was the first time Su Ziqing had met Chief Su. Chief Su, dressed in military uniform, exuded an imposing aura and indeed gave off a great sense of pressure.

Most importantly, he held military power...

In the face of power, even the wealthy and powerful are insignificant.

Su Ziqing only vaguely knew that some members of the Gong family also served in the military, but she didn't know how much higher or lower their positions were than that of Chief Su.

Thinking back to how things were before, even the Gong family had to apologize to the Su family, she guessed that the Gong family should be more submissive.

Doesn't that mean Gong Chengjue is directly confronting Chief Su?

She looked at Feng Xixuan and sighed, "I told my senior brother not to be so impulsive."

Upon hearing Chief Su's voice, Gong Chengjue showed no sign of backing down. He turned around, met Chief Su's gaze, and politely greeted him, "Chief Su."

"Hmph." Chief Su is notorious for being blind to right and wrong and for protecting his own. Otherwise, who in the entire capital would give way to Su Enen?

"Dad, they, they..." Su Enen was in so much pain that she couldn't even form words.

Chief Su, being a soldier, immediately noticed that his beloved daughter had dislocated her shoulder. This was not the time to argue with them; he quickly took Su Enen to get medical treatment.

However, before leaving, he made his stance clear: "The Su family will not let this matter rest."

Su Ziqing: "..." Su Enen started this whole thing, okay?!

"It's your turn." Feng Xixuan didn't feel he had done anything wrong at all. He looked at Su Ziqing, who had been staring at him, and reminded her that it was her turn to see the doctor.

Su Ziqing was quite helpless. She couldn't control her senior brother, but she could still talk to Gong Chengjue.

"Why did you just jump to conclusions without even asking what happened..." she sighed, "Now, aren't you really at odds with the Su family?"

Her feud with Su Enen and his feud with the Su family are two completely different things, doesn't he understand?

If not handled properly, he could create an enemy for his family in the capital.

Or a political enemy!

Gong Chengjue said calmly, "I won't stand by and watch you be bullied by her again."

Su Ziqing: "..."

"Senior brother," she could only say to Feng Xixuan, "you're new to China, you don't know the political situation here..."

"Oh, I'm not interested in knowing either." Feng Xixuan smiled, then tapped her head. "She can flaunt her family's power, why can't you?"

Suddenly, Su Ziqing felt that the two men had found common ground!

Don't they all dislike each other?

Su Ziqing felt utterly speechless.

Feng Xixuan and Gong Chengjue suddenly reached a consensus on their values, but this did not change Feng Xixuan's dislike for Gong Chengjue.

because……

"You actually ignored her being bullied?" Based on that alone, he would never let them be together!

Gong Chengjue is not good enough for his Ziqing.

Su Ziqing had already sat down to see the doctor when she heard Feng Xixuan's words. She quickly interjected, "Senior brother, the cause of this matter is somewhat complicated."

Feng Xixuan sneered, "How complicated is it? I don't want to hear the reasons, I just want to know the result."

Gong Chengjue felt guilty for not being able to decisively protect Su Ziqing before. But looking at his senior brother now, how could he have so many considerations?

So he accepted Feng Xixuan's blame.

"Do you live up to your reputation?" Feng Xixuan's words were laced with contempt.

"I'm sorry." It was indeed something he hadn't done well, but he had spoken to Su Ziqing at the time, only...

However, no amount of explanation could change the fact that she had indeed been bullied by Su Enen again, so he stopped explaining and simply admitted it.

Su Ziqing: "..." This is China, it's China, okay?

"Ouch, that hurts!" Her cry of pain finally drew their attention back.

"Doctor, please be gentle." Feng Xixuan and Gong Chengjue both spoke at the same time.

Gong Chengjue frowned slightly.

Why does he feel like he has a rival in love?

Su Ziqing looked at the two of them and deliberately continued to cry out in pain, "Won't my foot be ruined?"

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Feng Xixuan retorted in a less common foreign language, "With a foot like yours, most people wouldn't dare to cripple it."

"Senior brother~" Su Ziqing glared at him.

Taking advantage of Gong Chengjue's inability to understand the foreign language, the two chatted amongst themselves.

"Don't blame Chengjue."

"Gong Chengjue!" Feng Xixuan just didn't like hearing her call Gong Chengjue's name affectionately.

Su Ziqing had no choice but to change her words, "Gong Chengjue, don't blame him, he's very protective of me."

Feng Xixuan snorted coldly, clearly not believing it.

“He’s from the capital, and the Su family isn’t an ordinary family in the capital. We’ll definitely have to weigh things carefully…” Su Ziqing urged him to be rational.

This world isn't a place where one person has the final say.

There is no such thing as someone who is so powerful that they can do whatever they want in the world. The Su family and the Gong family are on the same level. How could the Gong family so easily suppress the Su family?

It's a basic understanding of interpersonal relationships among adults, isn't it?

"What's there to weigh? If they dare to talk, then you take action. What are you afraid of?" Feng Xixuan was clearly not a rational adult.

"If he can't protect you, don't you still have me?"
