Based on the father-son relationship between Gong Changzhou and Gong Chengjue, Su Ziqing felt that the possibility was very low.

Gu Mingyin held Su Ziqing's hand and said, "Don't worry too much, just take good care of yourself and have a healthy pregnancy."

Xiang Liyi really wanted to sew Gu Mingyin's mouth shut, but she still couldn't stop Gu Mingyin from saying those words.

How could she casually reveal all these things about the Gong family?

"Sister-in-law, the doctor said Miss Su needs to rest. I can stay here." Xiang Liyi thought it best to get rid of Gu Mingyin first.

To prevent her from revealing any more secrets of the Gong family.

People who are not in a position should not take responsibility for their duties, and therefore should not care what they say.

Gu Mingyin looked at Xiang Liyi, "Sister-in-law, you are now the mistress of the house. There are still many internal affairs of the Gong family that need your attention. Go and do your work. I will take care of Ziqing. Also..."

Gu Mingyin smiled again, like a mother-in-law, "I am Chengjue's mother, so it is only natural for me to take care of Ziqing."

After saying that, she looked at Su Ziqing and said, "Right, Ziqing? We've met a few times already."

Gu Mingyin was a woman who had managed a household before, and she knew very well what Xiang Liyi's concerns were, since Xiang Liyi had no concerns at all.

Moreover, this way I can improve my relationship with Su Ziqing.

Gu Mingyin can change her mind as easily as turning the pages of a book. To survive in a large family, with her husband gone and her son not having much of an advantage, she naturally has to do her best to maintain her and her son's position.

Su Ziqing knew she wouldn't get anything out of Xiang Liyi, regardless of whether Xiang Liyi knew it or not.

However, the timing of Gu Mingyin's offer to her was indeed very opportune. She knew that going along with Gu Mingyin would be quite a slap in the face for Xiang Liyi, but... she was more concerned about Gong Chengjue.

So she replied, "Thank you for your help."

Gu Mingyin quickly replied, "No trouble at all."

Xiang Liyi looked at Su Ziqing.

Su Ziqing did not meet her gaze.

Xiang Liyi: "..."

If Gu Mingyin says something that Su Ziqing shouldn't know, who will take responsibility?

"Miss Su, please take a nap," Xiang Liyi said, then looked at Gu Mingyin and said, "Sister-in-law, I have something to tell you about Chengkun."

Since it concerned her own son, Gu Mingyin did not refuse.

The door to the room closed, and the two went to the living room.

Gu Mingyin's smile seemed somewhat forced as she looked at Xiang Liyi, "What does your sister-in-law want to say?"

Although Xiang Liyi is Gu Mingyin's sister-in-law, she is now the mistress of the house, so she no longer treats Gu Mingyin with the same respect as before.

The two had almost fallen out during the old man's funeral.

Gu Mingyin's transfer of power to the family was not entirely willing. Although she didn't kick them when they were down, she also had no intention of helping them out of their predicament.

“My sister-in-law has also managed the household. In a large family like our Gong family, many things cannot be spread outside, especially at this time.” Xiang Liyi bluntly accused Gu Mingyin.

Gu Mingyin chuckled, "This is the responsibility of the matriarch. I'm just a widow now. Besides, what do you mean by that, sister-in-law? Family matters shouldn't be discussed with outsiders, right? Does that mean you include Su Ziqing as an outsider?"

Xiang Liyi looked at her and said, "What do you think? Although Chengjue and Miss Zhou have not officially married yet, they have been seen together a lot these days, and Miss Zhou has been appearing in public as Chengjue's girlfriend."

Even if a marriage is arranged for mutual benefit but doesn't work out, it shouldn't turn them into enemies.

How can you do something like this, contradicting yourself?

Therefore, even if Su Ziqing is pregnant with Gong Chengjue's child, this matter can only be discussed after the marriage alliance between the Gong family and the Zhou family is dissolved.

Therefore, even if you think Su Ziqing is not an outsider, you still have to treat her as an outsider.

Furthermore, because Su Ziqing is pregnant, hearing too many worrying things is not good for her pregnancy and may even cause a miscarriage due to excessive emotional fluctuations.

These are things that Xiang Liyi needs to consider, but Gu Mingyin doesn't need to consider at this time.

If she were Su Ziqing, she wouldn't care about the Gong family's concerns at this moment; she would only want to know about Gong Chengjue's personal safety and the progress of the search.

As for the rest, who has the mind to care?

That's why Su Ziqing asked her to stay.

“I understand what my sister-in-law is saying, but…” Gu Mingyin’s eyes reddened, “Chengjue is still missing. What’s the use of treating Ziqing like an outsider? Others see her as Chengjue’s weakness. Isn’t that what the car accident warning meant?”

Xiang Liyi: "..."

Gu Mingyin continued, "This was a deliberate car accident, we all know that, who do you think you can hide it from?"

The perpetrator fled the scene after the accident. An accident? What an accident! Even a fool would know this wasn't an accident.

If a car hadn't happened to be driving by at that moment, he said he would have almost been doused with oil and set on fire.

Was this an accident? This is downright brazen murder in broad daylight!

In other words, Su Ziqing almost died!

They've become so arrogant, and now they say the Gong family treats Su Ziqing like an outsider? Does anyone believe that?

"What are you talking about, pouring oil?" Su Ziqing opened the door at some point and stood there, her face very serious.

Xiang Liyi glared fiercely at Gu Mingyin. The men would handle the outside affairs, while she would handle the inside ones.

But that idiot Gu Mingyin has such a loose tongue!!

Gu Mingyin looked at me with an expression of apology and shook her head, "We were talking about a dish, specifically how to cook fish, and how to drizzle oil on top at the end..."

The explanation was so far-fetched that it sounded like it was being told to a fool.

Su Ziqing looked at Xiang Liyi, "Madam Gong, did Mr. Gong tell you not to say anything? If that's the case, I'm afraid I can't stay in this hospital any longer."

Xiang Liyi stopped her, "Miss Su, your current physical condition..."

"I've already said the child isn't Gong Chengjue's. Now, are you still going to stop me?" If I were to speak frankly, I would lose face.

Su Ziqing certainly didn't think that Xiang Liyi was taking care of her out of pity.

Just like Gu Mingyin said, they were all doing it for the sake of the child...

Xiang Liyi glared at Gu Mingyin. Was she still going to watch the show at this point?

This was not what Gu Mingyin wanted either, so she said, "Sister-in-law, why are you still hiding it at this time? Ziqing, no matter whether you have any connection with our Gong family or not, people will think you do. Even if you don't have any connection, the relationship with your ex-girlfriend is still a connection."

Then she helped Su Ziqing back to her room and onto the bed, saying, "Don't worry, I'm telling you, if you panic and something happens to the child, it will just be what those people want."

Not Gong Chengjue's child? Gu Mingyin didn't think much of it. Whether it was or not, now was not the time to be sure.

“Miss Su, we had our own reasons for keeping this from you. But there was absolutely no intention to prevent you from knowing,” Xiang Liyi explained first.

Su Ziqing asked, "Do the Lu family know?"

Xiang Liyi nodded hesitantly.

Su Ziqing frowned, "No wonder Lu Beibei said those things about me..."
