"I care about my senior brother." Su Ziqing stuck out her tongue.

Feng Xixuan helped her to the bedside and left the room, closing the door behind him.

Su Ziqing heard her phone vibrating continuously. She picked it up and saw several WeChat messages.

She opened the messages; they were all sent by Gong Chengjue.

"Can we kick him out?" See how blatantly annoying he is.

Su Ziqing chuckled and replied with a no emoji.

"Then you can move in with me, and he can stay at your place." A WeChat message came in, and seeing that Su Ziqing didn't reply, Gong Chengjue replied with a compromise, "At most, I'll buy him a new house to live in!"

“Chengjue, he is my senior brother,” Su Ziqing reiterated.

Gong Chengjue did not reply to the WeChat message.

Su Ziqing didn't explain anything further. Feng Xixuan was a very important person to her, and she felt she didn't need to say anything more.

She put her phone aside, yawned, and felt sleepy; her eyelids were so heavy she could barely keep her eyes open.

Gong Chengjue was on his way home, but on the way he received a call from the old man, asking him to come back to the Gong residence.

Helpless, they had no choice but to have the driver turn around and head towards the palace.

……………………

Gong family

It was late at night, but Old Master Gong was not sleepy at all.

Gong Changzhou sat with the old man, but the two remained silent, even somewhat awkward.

Gong Changzhou raised his hand again to check the time on his wristwatch.

He had been doing this for the past hour. Old Master Gong said irritably, "If you're tired, go to sleep first."

Gong Changzhou looked at the old man and said, "Dad, you've spoiled Chengjue way too much. Look at the whole family, who else dares to do this?"

"How is it?" Old Master Gong slightly lifted his eyelids to look at him.

"He just said where he was? Where is he now? Doesn't he know his elders are waiting for him?!" Gong Changzhou was becoming increasingly displeased with his eldest son.

"Changzhou," Old Master Gong called out calmly.

He spoke casually, swallowing all the nonsense he was about to say, and looked at the old man.

"He is your son."

Gong Changzhou: "..."

The sound of a car came from outside, and soon Gong Chengjue walked in, still wearing his banquet attire.

In the stillness of the night, the old man and Gong Changzhou were sitting in the main hall of the house.

Gong Chengjue walked towards them, "Grandpa, Father."

Gong Changzhou immediately turned serious and said, "Is it taking longer for you to go home than to go abroad?"

"If Father can't wait, why wait?" Gong Chengjue was also in a bad mood and couldn't hold back today.

"What did you say?!" Gong Changzhou stood up.

"Alright." Old Master Gong patted the coffee table in front of him to prevent the two from arguing.

Gong Chengjue stood there without moving.

Gong Changzhou sat back down, his voice rough and tinged with impatience, "What exactly happened tonight?"

Ha, such a big thing happened, and not a single person has inquired about it.

Although Gong Chengjue was used to it, he still felt a chill in his heart, and answered casually, "I don't know."

"You..." Gong Changzhou almost cursed again, but after receiving the old man's glare, he softened his tone, "The news has been blocked so far, but if it were just a normal accident, why would they withdraw?"

Gong Chengjue looked at his father, "Since you care so much, why don't you ask your second uncle?"

“Your second uncle doesn’t know the situation either,” Old Master Gong said. “How are you feeling? I heard two people died?”

At first, I thought it was just a minor accident, but I never expected it to be a terrorist attack.

Gong Chengjue hummed in agreement. "It's nothing serious. I had just gone to the restroom when the attack happened, and it was at the entrance."

Grandpa Gong frowned seriously. "Currently, all information is being blocked. Do you think this is just an ordinary accident? Or is it really a terrorist attack as some people are saying?"

"Grandpa, let's wait for the official conclusion on this matter."

"If it were up to the official channels, would I need to ask you now?" Gong Changzhou interrupted irritably.

"..." Gong Chengjue simply lowered his eyelids slightly and did not answer.

Gong Changzhou continued to provoke conversation, "What happened at the hospital? Did you offend Chief Su again because of that woman? I've told you before, consider the bigger picture, consider the bigger picture!!"

Gong Chengjue felt that he couldn't communicate with his father, but unfortunately, this man was his father, and as his son, he couldn't do anything about it.

What could he say besides remain silent?

Seeing that Gong Chengjue remained silent, Old Master Gong asked, "What happened at the hospital?"

If someone hadn't called him, he wouldn't have known things had gone astray again.

Last time, that girl caused some discord between the Gong and Su families, and this time...

"It was Su Enen who started it," Gong Chengjue answered the old man's question.

"Why is Su Enen sticking to Su... Su Ziqing without provoking anyone else?" Gong Changzhou took a while to remember Su Ziqing's name. He sneered, "Why should she?"

The implication is that Su Ziqing is troublesome and flirtatious, making people want to provoke her.

Gong Chengjue looked at him. "Did Father ask me?"

Gong Changzhou felt that he could be driven crazy by his eldest son, so he never bowed his head or showed weakness.

"nonsense!"

“I’m neither Su Enen nor Zi Qing, how would I know?” Gong Chengjue chuckled twice.

"I've heard you're quite capable," Gong Changzhou said sarcastically, "using the Gong family's reputation to go against Chief Su."

"So, Father, do you mean I should conform to the Gong family's name?" Gong Chengjue's words were truly sarcastic.

Gong Changzhou was so angry that he almost grabbed a cup and smashed it at Gong Chengjue, but Old Master Gong picked up his cane and stopped him.

"Chengjue," Old Master Gong looked at Gong Chengjue, "who is that gentleman's identity?"

Gong Chengjue knew, of course, that the old man was referring to Feng Xixuan.

but……

He feigned ignorance, "Who is Grandpa asking about?"

The capital city may seem vast, but news travels fast even within high society circles.

Without saying anything else, just mention that Chief Su apologized to that gentleman in the military region and saw him off. How long has it been since the incident?

However, the news spread.

This is the terror of the information age.

So, even if it were any later than midnight, many people in the capital city probably still wouldn't be asleep.

What is Chief Su's identity?

An official who holds real power.

And that Mr. So-and-so, I heard, isn't even a native of this country...

However, he was with Su Ziqing, and based on that alone, the old man had no choice but to call Gong Chengjue back late at night to ask what was going on.

After all, in other people's eyes, Su Ziqing is still closely related to the Gong family.

He had already asked, but Gong Chengjue was still pretending to be stupid. Old Master Gong chuckled softly, "Chengjue, are you pretending to be stupid with your grandfather?"
