The Nan family is an ancient medical family belonging to a branch of the Gong clan. They have practiced medicine for a century and are known for their expertise in traditional Chinese medicine!
Gong Ning watched as Nan Jin focused intently on administering acupuncture treatment, then gave Luo Xi a look before quietly leaving the bedroom.
The wait for the treatment results was long and agonizing; every second ticked by as night gradually fell over the city...
Luo Xi looked at Gong Ning, who had been standing silently by the window for a long time, and said softly, "Miss, don't worry, Dr. Nan's medical skills are excellent..."
"Um!"
Gong Ning responded softly, looking down at the brightly lit and colorful city night sky outside the window.
After a long silence, she suddenly spoke softly, "Luo Xi, tell me... why can't all the beautiful things in this world last long?"
Luo Xi looked up at Gong Ning's frail and thin back, murmured a few times, but didn't say anything.
Gong Ning seemed to have not expected her answer either, looking down at the dazzling city.
After a long silence, she suddenly chuckled softly, speaking to herself in a low voice, "Because beautiful things are often fragile. People try to become strong enough to maintain and preserve this beauty, unaware that the price they pay is also the beauty itself. Over time, all the beautiful and pure things in this world slowly become unable to last, and in the end, only a distorted strength remains. Is this... the price of growing up?"
Gong Ning's words were filled with deep disappointment and dejection...
Luo Xi knew that what happened to Shen Yuchen today had greatly affected her young mistress...
Her eyes flickered slightly, and her heart skipped a beat. "Miss, all the rules of this world, no matter what, have their own rationale for existence. Some beautiful things need strong power to protect them. Only by being strong enough to have a certain degree of freedom can one protect what one loves! Otherwise, strength is meaningless!"
The sadness in Gong Ning's eyes suddenly vanished, and she blinked with a slightly bewildered look. "Is that so?"
Some people are powerful precisely so that they can protect what is beautiful...
This was true of the Gong family more than a decade ago, and it was even more true of Lady Gong, who strived to become stronger because of it.
The surrounding air was quiet for a few moments. Gong Ning looked at the lights of thousands of homes outside the window, and the cold and sullen expression on her face gradually disappeared.
A resolute and determined smile slowly curved her lips. "Luo Xi, hand over the recording of the conversation I sent you before, as well as the video stored on that camera, to the police. Cooperate with the police, investigate with all your might, and find out who's behind this! Those who like to use despicable tricks in the shadows are afraid of being exposed. Investigate openly and honestly, and expose their secrets. Anyone who dares to mess with Gong Ning must be tired of living!"
Gong Ning recorded the conversation in the bathroom where Zhang Yu insulted Shen Yuchen as soon as she switched to the listening device.
"Also, I've deleted the videos from the camera that included Yu Chen. I don't want anyone to see Yu Chen looking so disheveled... not a single person..."
Luo Xi pursed her lips slightly and replied crisply, "Yes! I'll have them take care of it; it won't be restored!"
After saying these words, she stood still, a hint of hesitation on her face.
Not hearing her footsteps, Gong Ning smiled slightly. "Don't worry, I'm fine. I'm here for you. Go on with your work!"
"I've already ordered an investigation... Miss, you haven't eaten much since this morning. Shall I make you something to eat? Don't let yourself get hungry, you see..."
Luo Xi held her breath and stared intently at Gong Ning. Her handsome face remained cold, but her eyes held a hint of cautious expectation.
