"I'm still young..." Su Ziqing blinked and said in surprise, "I don't want to get married yet."

"What?!"

Is she looking down on his family's heir?

Now it was Gong Chengjue's turn to cover her mouth, "Grandpa, she was just joking..."

"Mmm." Are you kidding? She wasn't kidding.

Although she was very moved that Gong Chengjue gave up his property to choose her, it doesn't mean she has to follow him into the "marriage grave."

They can stay together, date, get engaged, anything is fine, just don't talk about marriage...

That's what she thought anyway.

She glared at Gong Chengjue, "Let go! Or I'll bite you!"

"I'm suddenly feeling a little dizzy." Gong Chengjue covered Su Ziqing's mouth and wouldn't let go, then looked at the old man, "Should we call Uncle and the others in?"

"Okay, go ahead," Old Master Gong hummed in agreement.

Gong Chengjue pulled Su Ziqing out of the ward, and everyone stared at them as if they were facing a formidable enemy.

Everyone is speculating: what did the old man say to Gong Chengjue? Had he made a decision about the inheritance after staying so long?

Gong Chengjue glanced at everyone indifferently and said, "Uncles, Grandpa wants you to go in."

Then, the old man's lawyer also entered the ward.

Outside the ward, Su Ziqing lowered her voice and said to Gong Chengjue, "Why won't you let me talk? We had an agreement..."

Gong Chengjue pinched her cheek, and seeing her puffed-up cheeks, he felt quite pleased.

It turns out that making a choice isn't so difficult after all.

He suddenly grabbed her and hugged her tightly, as if he wanted to fill his entire chest.

And the heart that had always felt somewhat empty was now full. "Su Ziqing, I love you."

Su Ziqing, who was still struggling, gave up: "..."

Gong Chengkun, who was not far away, was speechless. Because Gong Chengjue had only told a few of his uncles to go in, there were still quite a few members of the Gong family outside.

What's he doing? Showing off his love?

Do you really like this woman that much?

Su Ziqing hugged him back, "Oh~"

In the hospital room, after careful consideration, Old Master Gong made his final decision regarding the distribution of his assets and the holding of shares in the company…

These were not the things that the sons were most interested in.

Ultimately, with their family so large, money is no longer the final thing they're fighting over.

What they care about is...

"As your eldest brother, Changzhou has always devoted himself to the Gong family." Old Master Gong finally revealed the key point that they were concerned about.

But his words only made people more uneasy. Was he playing the family card and really going to let Gong Chengjue inherit the family business without a proper succession?

No, absolutely not!

Gong Changming looked at the old man and could hardly hide his urgency. "Father, everyone has seen how hard my elder brother has worked, but the prosperity of the family depends entirely on the unity of the whole family."

Don't give all the credit to Gong Changzhou, even though he just died!

Old Master Gong glanced at his second son and nodded in agreement, "Changming is right. The reason our Gong family has been able to survive for so many years is because we are united."

"Cough cough." The old man was a little out of breath after saying such a long string of words, and coughed several times.

"Grandpa..." Fifth Brother Gong Changfan stepped forward and patted the old man on the back.

Old Master Gong waved his hand and said, "I have been in charge of the Gong family for nearly seventy years. I am tired and it is time to let go."

Old Master Gong inherited the Gong family in his early twenties and led the family through thick and thin, maintaining its prestigious status. But it was no easy feat.

Over the past few decades, many prestigious families have either faded from the scene or gone bankrupt. To be honest, there aren't many that have managed to stay with the Gong family and still maintain their strength.

Gong Changming straightened his chest slightly, waiting for his father's final affirmation.

Since the eldest son is absent, shouldn't it be his turn?

Old Master Gong's gaze swept over his sons one by one. Except for his third son, who had joined the army and automatically withdrew from the list of heirs, he looked over his second, fourth, and fifth sons.

The eldest son was absent, and the second son was the oldest. However, age was both his advantage and his disadvantage. Most importantly, his eagerness these days displeased the old man.

His fourth son was of age, but... his child and Gong Chengjue didn't get along, and as a father, he failed to stop his son when he did something excessive.

Although the fifth son was not as talented as his siblings, he had the best relationship with the third son and was usually kind to the younger generation.

"From now on, Changfan will lead you and the Gong family to continue on this path," said Old Master Gong.

A deathly silence fell over the ward.

Everyone's face was filled with a strange expression, as if they all thought they had misheard.

The old man, who valued the eldest son and grandson above all else, and the order of bloodline, actually made the final decision on the fifth son, Gong Changfan?!

Even Miyaga Shigeru himself was stunned.

He could be considered the most unrestrained member of the Gong family. He's never even married, and he doesn't have any children! A complete diamond bachelor, well, even though this bachelor is already fifty years old.

Most importantly, he never even considered becoming an heir.

"Father..." Is there some misunderstanding?

Wasn't Gong Chengjue the person the old man valued most? Didn't he use all sorts of cheat codes to hone him?

To be honest, I'm not as surprised that Gong Chengjue is the heir as Gong Changfan, okay?

Grandpa Gong looked at everyone and said, "This decision is one I have made after careful consideration. Do you have any objections?"

Opinions? Who dares to have opinions? Will any opinions be adopted? What if you end up losing other rights, like company shares, just because you offered a useless opinion?

But who would have thought that it would fall on the least likely fifth child?

Gong Chengjue and Gong Chengkun both won their bids and were both put on the group's board of directors, didn't they?

She focuses more of her attention on her grandson than on her son, doesn't she?!

Why……

Gong Changming clenched his fists. He was indignant, but he couldn't say anything.

As the head of the Gong family, the old man has the right to say no or anything.

"Let's do as Father wishes," said the third son, Gong Changhong, first.

"..." Gong Changfan, who was hit by the succession position, was completely dumbfounded.

Is this settled?

It was a surprise, and it was also a genuine accident.

Gong Changming's face darkened as soon as he left the ward. He looked at Gong Chengjue, who was still chatting with Su Ziqing not far away, and his eyes were practically spitting fire.

How could this be?

If it were Gong Chengjue, he could raise a hundred objections.

But it wasn't him!

Gong Changming's wife stepped forward and asked, "What did the old man say?"

Gong Changming pushed his wife away and said, "I have things to do at the company, I need to go back first." Then he strode away.

Su Ziqing looked at everyone, then at Gong Chengjue. It seemed her uncle hadn't come out?
