Su Ziqing replied to the WeChat message instantly, "You went to the hospital? What happened? Are you injured? Where are you hurt? Is it serious?" Was he injured?
Su Ziqing was frantic on the other end, while Gong Chengjue was delayed in replying to the WeChat message because he had been chatting with Luo Jinhan for a few minutes.
After she sent several messages, Gong Chengjue finally felt a momentary improvement in his grief.
He, and she too.
“I’m fine. It’s Grandpa who’s been hospitalized because he’s not feeling well. I’ll find out the details when I get to the hospital,” he sent.
Luo Jinhan heard the WeChat notification sound and knew that Gong Chengjue was probably chatting with Su Ziqing right now. Fortunately, they could still chat, otherwise, he was afraid that Gong Chengjue would really break down if he kept it to himself.
The more distressed a person is and the less they react, the more terrifying the outburst of grief can be.
Fortunately, Miss Su is here.
Hearing that it wasn't him who was in trouble, Su Ziqing breathed a sigh of relief, but thinking about the old man's advanced age and health, she was really afraid that something might happen if he felt unwell.
However, she eventually deleted the question "Are you going to the hospital now?" and replaced it with an encouraging and supportive sentence.
Gong Chengjue hummed in response and stopped chatting with her on WeChat. Instead, he quietly looked out the window by himself.
He hadn't slept all night, and his eyes were bloodshot; his tired face was reflected in the glass.
Luo Jinhan remained silent, and did whatever he could for Gong Chengjue first.
Given the current situation, Gong Chengjue may not have much time to handle affairs for the next few days.
I don't know what the old man's condition is, but the fact that he's in the hospital suggests that something is seriously wrong.
For common ailments or discomforts, the old man would have his family doctor come to treat him at home.
If the old man were also in this situation... Luo Jinhan couldn't even imagine what kind of predicament Gong Chengjue would be in.
I used to think that Gong Changzhou treated Gong Chengjue and Gong Chengkun differently, and that having a stepmother meant having a stepfather, but...!
Luo Jinhan only now realized that even a 'stepfather' is still a father figure.
We have to wait until everything settles down first.
The generational gap that cannot be crossed is like an invisible blade, causing pain that cannot be seen, yet one can only endure it.
The car arrived at the hospital quickly. They didn't know where the reporter got the information so fast, but when they got out of the car, they saw that there were already quite a few reporters blocking the entrance.
"Mr. Gong, there are many reporters," Luo Jinhan reminded him.
Fortunately, the hospital had a VIP lane, so the driver made a turn and entered the hospital from another direction.
Not long after Gong Chengkun got into the car, Gu Mingyin advised him to act like a 'younger brother'. As for what it means to act like a younger brother? It means you have to conform to whatever your older brother says.
At first, Gong Chengkun was not happy; he didn't like to be met with Gong Chengjue's cold attitude.
However, Gu Mingyin said something that he had to accept, whether he understood it or not: "If you want your future to be easier, you must now follow your elder brother's lead!"
As for everything in the past, the vying for favor, the quarrels, all of that is in the past, and can only be in the past.
After getting out of the car, Gong Chengkun reminded himself that everything was different now.
If he cannot quickly adjust his mindset, he will suffer the consequences and never be able to recover.
Gong Chengjue entered the hospital through the VIP channel, but waited for Gong Chengkun at the elevator entrance.
“Big brother…” Gong Chengkun stepped forward.
Gong Chengjue said nothing, but entered the elevator with his face still icy.
After Gong Chengkun entered the elevator, Luo Jinhan was about to follow him in when she heard Gong Chengjue say, "Take the next elevator."
Luo Jinhan nodded.
As the elevator doors closed, the once spacious elevator suddenly felt a bit crowded. In the past, if they were alone together like this, Gong Chengkun would definitely have said a few words to Gong Chengjue.
But this time, he learned his lesson and said, "Big brother, what will we do if something happens to Grandpa?" He didn't dare to say the last few words.
Gong Chengjue remained silent.
"Brother, I was wrong before." Gong Chengkun readily admitted. A true man can bend and stretch; no one would turn down their wealth and status.
The Gong family is still one of the most prominent families in the capital, but if Old Master Gong passes away and his estate is divided into five or six parts, then...
Apart from the heir's branch, the others will become out of the running.
Otherwise, they can only remain subservient.
As the eldest sons of the branch of the family, how could they possibly be willing to become vassals? Besides, their uncles might not be happy about it either.
Gong Chengjue looked at the elevator, and when it arrived, he pressed the close button and asked Gong Chengkun, "Were you the one who hired mercenaries to injure me in City A last year?"
Gong Chengkun shook his head, "No, it definitely wasn't me..."
Gong Chengjue said nothing more and opened the elevator door. He didn't listen to Gong Chengkun's explanation at all; that one sentence, "No," was enough for now.
Grandpa Gong vomited blood and fell into a coma twice, but he was rescued and is still unconscious.
Almost everyone in the Gong family was present, and no one would be foolish enough to leave at this time. Anyone with a brain would make their presence known.
The younger ones have to go to school, there's nothing we can do about it, but once they're in the company, who doesn't have their own thoughts?
Old Master Gong's condition is not optimistic. Everyone is afraid that he will pass away. However, the Gong family's vast wealth has not yet been properly divided.
Furthermore, with Gong Changzhou, the eldest son, gone, even if Gong Chengjue is favored by the old man, he can't surpass his son!
Everyone thought that Gong Chengjue and Gong Chengkun should be handling Gong Changzhou's funeral arrangements, but unexpectedly they suddenly saw Gong Chengjue and Gong Chengkun at the hospital.
What's even more surprising is that these two brothers are usually at odds with each other, so why are they acting like brothers now?
Could it be that the two brothers have reached some kind of agreement?
If that's the case, then it's really troublesome.
Originally, I was happy to watch them fight amongst themselves, sit on the sidelines and see if I could reap some benefits.
If things are like this now, then we need to turn on the alarm. You have to know that Gong Chengjue and Gong Chengkun are the only two grandchildren to have entered the board of directors of Xinji Group!
Some acts have been going on for so long that everyone's gotten used to them. But suddenly, everyone forgets about acting, and there's an eerie silence.
Someone broke the silence, saying, "Chengjue, what brings you here at this hour?"
Gong Chengkun chuckled upon hearing this, "Why does it sound like you're blaming my brother and me for coming at this time, Uncle?"
Gong Changming coughed lightly, "Shouldn't you be handling your father's funeral arrangements right now?"
“Yes, Chengjue, Chengkun, we are all enough for the hospital. Your father’s funeral arrangements also need to be handled.” Gong Changming’s wife put on the act of a good aunt.
