Su Rong nodded gently, his eyes showing both relief and a subtle sense of loneliness. He slowly spoke, "Zhao Qing, I understand your decision, and I sincerely hope you can be happy. However, after all, our two families have known each other for many years, so some things may be more complicated to handle. But please believe that I will stand by you and do my best to ensure a smooth transition."
A hint of gratitude flashed in Zhao Qing's eyes. She clenched her fists gently, as if to cheer herself up. "Su Rong, thank you. Actually, I know in my heart that this decision was not easy, but for me, it is a big step forward. As for the relationship between our two families, I believe time will dilute everything as long as we are willing to move forward."
Seeing this, Chuchu walked over and patted Zhao Qing on the shoulder, her eyes full of encouragement. "Qingqing, you did the right thing. Sometimes, leaving isn't the end, but the beginning of a new life. Our Gu family will always have your back. No matter what you need, just ask."
Su Rong heard this and a bitter smile appeared on his lips. He knew that Su Ning and Zhao Qing had really come to the end. "Although Su Ning and I are brothers, in this matter, I will stand on the side of justice and reason. As for the follow-up of the marriage, I will communicate with my family to ensure that nothing will cause you any more trouble."
Zhao Qing felt a surge of warmth in her heart when she heard this. She looked at Su Rong with a look of gratitude and relief in her eyes: "Su Rong, thank you for your understanding and support."
Su Rong finally stated his stance directly. Chuchu nodded inwardly, feeling that the response was quite reasonable. "Mr. Su, I hope you're serious this time. Xiaoqing has suffered a lot from what she's been through. She deserves to be treated fairly," Chuchu said with a hint of earnestness.
Su Rong responded softly, his eyes deep, "Gu Chuchu, could you please come outside with me? I have something to talk to you alone."
Chuchu heard this and turned around to gently pour a glass of warm water for Zhao Qing, ensuring she took it and drank it slowly, her eyes full of concern. It wasn't until Zhao Qing's lips turned red again that she stood up with confidence and followed Su Rong to the stairwell.
In fact, she knew in her heart that this incident had nothing to do with Su Rong himself and was Su Ning's fault, but as a member of the family, Su Rong's attitude was crucial.
The stairwell was softly lit but slightly dim. Usually deserted, it seemed even more tranquil now, as if even the air had frozen. Chu Chu stood still, her hands gently folded in front of her, her attitude neither overly nervous nor impolite, waiting for Su Rong to speak.
"Now, we can have a good talk, Mr. Su." Chuchu's voice was calm and clear, and seemed to add a bit of calmness and composure in this quiet environment.
Su Rong paused for a moment, then spoke in a serious tone, "Chu Chu, I'm just curious. What method did you use to scare Su Ning like that? He kept muttering nonsense like you were a demon, and I naturally didn't believe it. But the problem is that the method you used was so direct, and you left no trace at all. The villa over there was spotless, without even a trace of blood. What's even stranger is that his two friends have completely lost their memory of what happened that night. This whole situation really makes it hard not to think in a supernatural way."
He paused again, as if weighing his next words, then continued, "I'm not trying to pin any blame on anyone. Suning's current situation is entirely the result of his own actions. I'm just really curious about the truth behind this."
Upon hearing this, Chu Chu curled up the corners of her mouth into a faint smile, with a hint of teasing in her eyes, and asked in return: "What if I really am the 'evil ghost' you mentioned? What are you going to do? Are you going to drive the ghost away or stay away from it?"
Su Rong was stunned by this sudden question, then laughed and said, "Don't make fun of me. How can a true evil spirit uphold justice and uphold justice? I believe you must have your reasons and methods behind it."
Chu Chu raised her eyebrows slightly, a subtle hint of deep meaning flashing in her eyes. She slowly said, "Su Rong, I advise you not to let your curiosity get too strong. As for the 'truth' you asked about, I don't intend to tell you. The matter has been settled, and you have already seen the truth. Why bother digging into it? My identity is far beyond your imagination, and it is not something you can easily bear. You should focus on your studies and study hard. As for me, it's good for us to maintain this slight distance between us."
Su Rong sighed, but Chu Chu said, "Okay, let's stop here for today. I still have classes, so I'm going back to school first."
As she stepped into the familiar car, Chuchu's gaze inadvertently passed through the window and a familiar figure suddenly caught her eye—Chu Mingfeng. His appearance was like a sudden ripple on a calm lake, causing Chuchu's emotions to fluctuate instantly.
Without any hesitation, she pushed open the car door and stepped back into this chaotic world. She walked quickly forward and stopped Chu Mingfeng's slightly staggering steps.
"Chu Mingfeng, what the hell are you doing? My second brother came to pick you up that day, so why did you just leave without saying goodbye?" Chu Chu's tone was filled with anxiety and confusion, her eyes fixed on the man before her, whose appearance had been almost completely eroded by time and hardship. Chu Mingfeng's face was covered in dirt, his eyes filled with fatigue and self-blame. He hung his head, his body hunched, and his clothes ragged, looking no different from a homeless person on the street, as if the entire world weighed on his shoulders.
"I... I'm too embarrassed to see you." Chu Mingfeng's voice was hoarse and trembling, and each word seemed to be squeezed out from the depths of his throat with difficulty. "Seeing that you are all living so well, I feel relieved." Behind these simple words, there are so many unspeakable bitterness and helplessness that make people feel pity when they hear them.
Chuchu's face showed a meaningful smile, as if she had already seen through Chu Mingfeng's thoughts: "You appear in front of me again and again, deliberately trying to attract my attention. Last time you kept saying it wasn't for money, so what are you doing now? Tell me now, maybe I can still help you, but next time, I won't be so easy to talk to."
When Chu Mingfeng heard this, his body trembled violently, and he suddenly knelt on the ground as if he had made up his mind.
Seeing this, Chu Chu quickly used the invisibility technique to cover the two of them in an invisible barrier, avoiding the prying eyes and gossip of others.
She leaned leisurely on the hood of the car, her arms folded across her chest, her eyes cold and deep: "Tell me, I don't like seeing you pretending to be pitiful. What is it that is worth all this trouble?"
