Su Ziqing pursed her lips and stopped talking.

If my senior says no, then it really means no.

Feng Xixuan stopped talking. Midway through, his phone rang. He answered it and gave instructions in English, "Okay, I'll send an email back in a bit. Wait for my email."

Then she heard him say something about negotiating something, but Su Ziqing was worried about Gong Chengjue's matter and didn't pay attention to Feng Xixuan's phone call.

After ending the call, the car became completely silent again. It was a fireproof vehicle, equipped with bulletproof features. With the soundproof button pressed, the entire car was truly silent.

The noise from outside couldn't get in at all.

Feng Xixuan put on some music and seemed to be in a pretty good mood, humming along.

Su Ziqing was getting annoyed. "Could you please keep your voice down?"

Feng Xixuan turned her head and glanced at her. "Ziqing, are you taking offense?"

"I wouldn't dare," Su Ziqing pouted. "I'm just in a bad mood." With that, she looked out the car window.

Seeing the situation unfold before her eyes, yet unable to find a solution or offer any help, she felt utterly powerless.

The vast difference between her and Gong Chengjue would chill her to the bone...

"Aren't you going to take care of your own problems?" Feng Xixuan was very busy. He had his own business in the capital. Besides, he always believed that if you didn't ask him for help, it meant you could handle it yourself.

But Lu Linghong didn't think that way. He remembered that Lu Linghong had called him early that morning, saying that Su Ziqing was in trouble and that Gong Chengjue was also in trouble and probably couldn't take care of her. As their senior brothers, of course they had to protect their junior sister.

However, Feng Xixuan waited and waited, but Su Ziqing's call never came.

Very well, it seems that in her eyes, they are not as important as Gong Chengjue.

When he returned to change his clothes, he found Su Ziqing at home. Feng Xixuan really wanted to knock her on the head.

If he hadn't seen how listless she was, he wouldn't have wanted to speak at all.

Su Ziqing looked out the car window and said calmly, "It's nothing."

"Hmm, I think it's a small matter." It was Lu Linghong who was yelling in his ear, saying that this was very important to her.

Does it actually matter?

No!

Su Ziqing turned her head and gave him a resentful look, but then decided against it and didn't want to talk.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Feng Xixuan glanced at her briefly. "Are you complaining that your senior brother stood by and did nothing?"

"No." Whether someone helps or not is entirely voluntary. He dislikes Gong Chengjue so much...

To be honest, he completely believed the rumors circulating outside; he and Gong Chengjue didn't even know each other before.

? !

Remembering that Feng Xixuan had heard it from Lu Linghong, Su Ziqing immediately took out her phone, edited a WeChat message, and sent it to Lu Linghong.

"Senior Brother Lu, Senior Brother Feng has such a bad impression of Chengjue, you have to find a way to change it!" Lu Linghong was much easier to talk to than Feng Xixuan.

However……

Lu Linghong was worried about Su Ziqing, but the girl kept mentioning Gong Chengjue, making him almost unrecognizable.

Are all girls like this? Can they give up everything else for love?

Where is your rationality? Where is your intelligence?

"Heh, impossible." Lu Linghong replied irritably, and you could almost taste his displeasure through the screen.

Su Ziqing wanted to facepalm. Lu Linghong didn't have much contact with Gong Chengjue either!

“You can’t do this. Chengjue is really a good person.” Su Ziqing made a pleading expression. “Now Senior Brother Feng doesn’t believe what I’m saying at all. He thinks I’ve been blinded.”

“I also think you’ve been blinded.” Lu Linghong replied quickly in a WeChat message, “If Gong Chengjue wants Senior Brother Feng to change his opinion of him, it’s up to him.”

"But that's for the future!" Right now, Gong Chengjue doesn't have that golden opportunity.

Unable to reach an agreement with either side, Su Ziqing was so angry that her cheeks puffed up.

Feng Xixuan then followed the navigation to Gong Chengjue's apartment.

He clearly had no intention of getting off the bus.

Su Ziqing got out of the car directly. "Senior brother, if you have something to do, go ahead and do it."

"I'll be waiting for you here."

"No need, I..."

"Do you really think Gong Chengjue has time to be all lovey-dovey with you right now?" Feng Xixuan glanced at her.

I hate people with sharp tongues the most!

However, such words are usually the most truthful, so Su Ziqing wouldn't argue with him. She grabbed her bag and hurried back to the apartment.

Feng Xixuan: "..."

He made a phone call: "Was there a company from China among the companies that came to bid for the cooperation before?"

"Get in touch with their manager."

Feng Xixuan hung up the phone, pinched the bridge of her nose, and thought, "A daughter grows up and can't be kept at home!"

……………………

Gong Chengjue had just arrived home, taken a quick shower, and hadn't even changed his clothes when Su Ziqing returned.

Luo Jinhan also went back to his own home to take a bath and change clothes, and wisely did not come up this time.

Upon seeing Gong Chengjue, Su Ziqing rushed forward and hugged his waist.

Gong Chengjue hugged her tightly. Even though they had only been separated for a few days, it felt as if they hadn't seen each other for a long time.

Su Ziqing took a deep breath, then raised her head, giving him no time to think before launching into a deep, passionate kiss.

Longing and worry all turned into this deep kiss.

Gong Chengjue responded.

I don't know how much time passed, maybe three minutes, maybe longer, when there was a knock at the door.

Luo Jinhan had already changed his clothes and wisely knocked on the door instead of going in directly.

Unfortunately, Gong Chengjue didn't have time to stay long; he had many things to take care of.

Su Ziqing let go of him, and only then did she see the injuries on his body. Her eyes widened. "The injuries on your body..."

Gong Chengjue's arms were covered in scratches from thorns. He didn't have time to apply medicine or care about infection. He just said nonchalantly, "It's just a minor injury."

He let Luo Jinhan in and had everything prepared. Then he pulled Su Ziqing towards the dressing room, taking out clothes as he said, "Can you handle things with the Su family?"

Su Ziqing's nose tingled. "You still have time to care about my affairs?" His own situation was already a complete mess.

Gong Chengjue smiled upon hearing this, holding the shirt she was about to wear, pulled her into his arms, and kissed her forehead. "Of course, because you are my Ziqing."

Su Ziqing, however, couldn't relax. She looked at him seriously and asked, "What do you plan to do now?"

"Take care of my father's funeral first. Postpone company matters if possible, and deal with those that can't be postponed in your spare time." Grief? Ignore everything else?

Adults don't have this privilege.

Not to mention, the Gong family clearly wanted to take advantage of his father's death and his grandfather's serious illness to make their own plans and form a camp.

"Don't worry." Gong Chengjue touched her face, seeing her nervous expression. "What about Su Tianhao..."

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing." Su Ziqing interrupted him, not wanting him to be troubled by her affairs.
