When Su Ziqing saw Lu Linghong, she felt betrayed. Senior Brother Lu knew that Senior Brother Feng had come to the capital!
But you didn't tell her first!
Lu Linghong took Feng Xixuan's travel bag and put it on the back seat of the car.
Feng Xixuan got directly into the passenger seat.
Su Ziqing cast a mournful glance at Lu Linghong.
Lu Linghong gestured for her to get in the car first; in truth, he was also in a difficult position...
As soon as they got in the car, Lu Linghong said to Feng Xixuan, "Senior brother, the banquet dress is ready. Shall we take you to the hotel first, or go directly to the banquet venue?"
Because the two sides are close to each other, there is no fear of any time conflict.
“Let’s go to the banquet,” Feng Xixuan said.
“Hmm, that works too. We can go back to the hotel after the charity banquet, since they’re just next to each other anyway,” Lu Linghong said.
“I don’t stay in hotels,” Feng Xixuan said calmly.
"Hmm?" Not staying in a hotel? Where will you stay then?
"Do you need me to help you find a place to stay?" Lu Linghong asked.
Sitting in the back seat of the car, Su Ziqing finally spoke up leisurely, "Senior Brother Feng said he's staying at my place."
Lu Linghong was quite surprised to hear this, but he only said "oh".
“Ling Hong,” Feng Xixuan suddenly spoke.
"Um?"
"I remember you said that Gong Chengjue has a bad reputation in the capital, right?"
Lu Linghong glanced at Su Ziqing in the back seat through the car mirror, only to find her sitting there expressionless and motionless.
"Senior brother, actually... I only heard about it secondhand. I haven't had much contact with Gong Chengjue." For Su Ziqing's sake, he had no choice but to refrain from speaking ill of Gong Chengjue.
However……
Feng Xixuan sneered, "I heard he's also a jinx to wives?"
"Senior Brother Feng, you don't believe in this kind of superstitious stuff, do you?" Su Ziqing couldn't help but interject.
"Okay, I think so." Lu Linghong nodded.
"So, you were in the capital, and you just watched Ziqing fall into his hands?" Feng Xixuan's voice was even colder.
What do you mean by "falling into his hands"...?
Su Ziqing protested, "Senior brother, Chengjue treats me very well."
"So what you call 'good' is using his family's influence to crush you?" Feng Xixuan sneered. "Ziqing, what do you take your senior brother for?"
"Senior brother..."
Su Ziqing felt she didn't know what to say.
Things are a bit complicated.
Feng Xixuan gave a cold laugh, "Being nice to you means I have to come to your door and force you to marry him?"
Su Ziqing's eyes widened. How did her senior brother even know this?
"Being nice to you means you can't even keep your own word?" Feng Xixuan looked even more contemptuous.
Finally, he came to the conclusion that Gong Chengjue was taking advantage of her because she had no family connections!
Su Ziqing was rebuked the whole way and didn't dare to utter a single word in rebuttal.
After all, her relationship with Gong Chengjue did start off unpleasant.
But so many things happened to the Su family later... it's not fair to say that she suffered a loss in her relationship with Gong Chengjue.
She just didn't dare say those words to Feng Xixuan, for fear of being torn apart by his words.
As the car approached the banquet hall, Lu Linghong had already made arrangements; Feng Xixuan could simply go and change into her formal attire.
Su Ziqing finally couldn't help but ask, "Senior Brother Feng, why... are you attending tonight's charity gala?"
The capital city is so big that it's not impossible for multiple charity galas to take place there, but the same location... that's impossible, right?
So, the charity gala he's attending today is the one that Gong Chengjue is going to attend.
But how can a foreigner like him participate?
Feng Xixuan gave Su Ziqing a cold look, then glanced at Lu Linghong, "Didn't you prepare a dress for your female companion?"
Female companion? Senior brother, haven't you always been alone?
"You have a female companion today, right?" Feng Xixuan asked Lu Linghong.
Lu Linghong immediately understood, "I'll make the arrangements."
While Lu Linghong was making a phone call, Feng Xixuan took off his sunglasses and looked at Su Ziqing. Feng Xixuan was half Chinese, a mixed-race person. Although he had black hair and black eyes, you could tell from his features that he was not purely Chinese.
Su Ziqing stood to the side without saying a word.
But then Feng Xixuan sighed, "Is it that even if we don't find out, you yourself are not planning to tell us?"
"What did you say?" she whispered.
"Such a big thing happened in your family, how can you, a girl, handle it?" Feng Xixuan looked at her with concern.
"I...I can handle it." Isn't she handling it quite well now?
As soon as he finished speaking, Feng Xixuan let out a cold laugh.
Su Ziqing: "..." Senior brother, you've given enough cold laughs tonight!
"You mean you can handle it, but you're being controlled by Gong Chengjue?"
"I'm dating him." Please don't use such a terrifying word as "control."
"Dating?" Feng Xixuan scoffed. "How long have you known each other? And he's already helping your Su Group with investments?"
Su Ziqing: "..." Sure enough, he knew everything.
There is nothing in this world that he cannot know if he wants to know it.
Su Ziqing decided that she shouldn't deliberately lower her IQ to avoid making herself unhappy.
She fell silent.
But remaining silent is also a mistake.
"Why aren't you saying anything?" Feng Xixuan looked at her.
"Senior brother, I know what I'm doing." Su Ziqing lowered her head, and only slowly raised her head and eyes to meet Feng Xixuan's gaze as she spoke.
“I know you care about me, but… this is my family matter.” She’s not a child; she has the right to handle her family affairs as she sees fit.
Asking him or asking others is troublesome.
Feng Xixuan really wanted to slap her. "Your family affairs?" He narrowed his eyes dangerously. "Say that again!"
"Senior brother..." Su Ziqing met his narrowed, dangerous gaze and didn't have the courage to say it again.
"You've been bullied like this, and you still don't know how to ask for help!" Feng Xixuan stepped forward and patted her head. "Don't you even know how to use someone else's power?"
“I…” Didn’t she already borrow Gong Chengjue’s power?
Lu Linghong moved quickly, bringing over a women's evening dress and some jewelry.
Su Ziqing, however, was once bitten by a snake and was afraid of ropes for ten years. "I won't use the jewelry!!" she insisted.
Lu Linghong: "..."
"Why not use it?" Feng Xixuan asked Su Ziqing.
"It's too valuable; it would be bad if it got lost."
"It's gone, it's gone. It's just a pile of stones," Feng Xixuan said.
Su Ziqing truly had something on her mind but couldn't say it.
Lu Linghong gestured for her to go change her clothes.
Feng Xixuan glanced at Lu Linghong, "What are you two hiding from me?"
"It's because Ziqing wore the jewelry I gave her before, and caused some trouble at the banquet," Lu Linghong said.
Feng Xixuan could tell from Lu Linghong's expression that he hadn't handled the situation properly.
He gave a cold laugh. "You let her get bullied?!"
Lu Linghong himself felt very guilty. It wouldn't be considered that he was bullied, but... he did suffer some injustice.
He could only nod.
"Whose is it?" Feng Xixuan didn't even ask for the specific reason, he just wanted the result.
