Gong Chengjue did not respond.
Luo Jinhan thought he must be too tired, so he let him take a nap and didn't call him again.
Gong Chengjue himself did not expect that he would be so tired that he fell asleep in the car. Although he only dozed off for half an hour, he felt much better.
There are still many things waiting for him to handle, such as explaining things to the outside world and arranging his father's funeral...
"Mr. Gong." Luo Jinhan saw that Gong Chengjue was much more energetic and handed him a bottle of water. "My bodyguard called me and said that something happened at the Su family's place."
Gong Chengjue hummed in agreement, indicating that he should continue.
"Su Tianhao's secretary jumped off a building. The police confirmed it was a suicide." Luo Jinhan looked at Gong Chengjue, who took a couple of sips of water to moisten his throat and then tightened the cap on his mineral water bottle.
"However, Su Tianhao had lunch with the police that noon, and in the afternoon the deceased's family went to the Su Group to make a scene, and Miss Su was also involved." Luo Jinhan explained the matter in a simplified way.
"What did Ziqing do?" Gong Chengjue asked as soon as he heard that Su Ziqing was involved.
"They say Miss Su fired an employee who talked about the deceased at the company, but the people behind it said..." Luo Jinhan paused before continuing, "that Miss Su and Su Tianhao are family!"
"He even mocked Miss Su for having ruthless methods to cover up the truth." After Luo Jinhan finished speaking, Gong Chengjue's face was already covered with frost.
He didn't say anything, and Luo Jinhan didn't say anything either.
The media can spread rumors and slander people with a single sentence, but those who are slandered may have to run themselves ragged to clear their names, and it might not even be effective.
Despite what happened, Su Ziqing didn't tell him, and she said she had returned to the capital.
Gong Chengjue immediately changed his mind, took out his phone and called Su Ziqing. The call went through immediately, and Su Ziqing answered, her voice filled with obvious worry, "Chengjue."
“It’s me,” Gong Chengjue replied.
"How is your grandfather? Is it serious?" Su Ziqing was getting anxious waiting for the call, but she didn't dare to call him. She could guess how chaotic things were at the Gong family's place.
The media, not one to shy away from stirring things up, has already started publishing all sorts of rumors and speculations, using phrases like "it is said" and "it is rumored" to spread fake news.
Whether the Gong family was too busy to deal with it or not, the Gong family's affairs have now become a trending topic nationwide.
Not to mention the headlines in local media in the capital.
As long as the Gong family doesn't make an official announcement, everyone will focus on their family affairs.
"Where are you?" Gong Chengjue asked instead of answering.
"I'm at home." She didn't go back to the company either.
Gong Chengjue glanced at the road conditions outside and asked Luo Jinhan, "How long will it take to get to Ziqing's place?"
Luo Jinhan glanced at the road sign, estimated the time, and replied, "The road conditions are good now, and it's not far from Miss Su's place. It should take about half an hour."
“I’m going there now,” Gong Chengjue said.
Just as Su Ziqing was about to agree, the door suddenly opened, and Feng Xixuan returned.
Uh, she forgot that her senior brother was staying at her house.
The two of them had always disliked each other, and now that Gong Chengjue had encountered such a big problem, she felt really sorry for him.
"When did you get back?" Feng Xixuan's voice came from the other end of the phone.
Su Ziqing didn't even have time to cover her phone with her hand before she said to Gong Chengjue, "Where are you right now? I'll come find you."
Upon hearing Feng Xixuan's voice, Gong Chengjue remembered that Feng Xixuan was staying at Su Ziqing's house, and nodded, "I'll go home and change my clothes."
"Okay, I'll head over now."
After hanging up the phone, Su Ziqing picked up her bag and coat and was in a hurry to leave.
Feng Xixuan frowned slightly and took her hand. "Wait a minute."
Su Ziqing looked at him and said very seriously, "Senior brother, let's talk about it later. I have something urgent to attend to right now."
"Is your so-called urgent matter your urgent matter, or Gong Chengjue's urgent matter?" Feng Xixuan said calmly.
Su Ziqing met his gaze and honestly admitted, "It's his."
Feng Xixuan: "..." It's true what they say, daughters grow up and leave home~
It's a pity he's not an old man!
"You can't interfere in Gong Chengjue's affairs." Although these words were hurtful, Feng Xixuan advised her to understand her own limitations.
To avoid accidentally getting yourself involved, which would be a huge loss.
Su Ziqing felt a pang of pain in her heart from those words; yes, she knew.
Gong Chengjue could help her with her problems, but she couldn't help Gong Chengjue with his. The disparity between them was something she had felt from the day she stepped into the capital.
But now, she doesn't care whether she helps him or not; she just wants to be by his side.
“I want to spend time with him,” Su Ziqing said.
“Does he have time for you to be with him? He should be too busy to even be sad right now.” Feng Xixuan looked at her. “A project that Gong Chengjue invested in has run into big trouble.”
"What?" Su Ziqing was stunned.
"This matter will likely become a major negative factor that the Gong family will relentlessly pursue against him," Feng Xixuan said calmly.
Of course, what happened to Gong Chengjue had nothing to do with him; he didn't like Gong Chengjue.
Although he said he didn't like her, and while he wouldn't go so far as to extend his affection to her, he knew that Su Ziqing liked Gong Chengjue, so he still had to inform her.
Su Ziqing took a deep breath, her resolve only growing stronger. "I'll go see him."
"I'll take you," Feng Xixuan said 'kindly' after seeing her reaction.
"No need, I..."
"Can you drive in this condition?" Feng Xixuan took her car keys. "I'll take you, or you can stay home."
Su Ziqing stopped dwelling on it.
Feng Xixuan entered the elevator and then brought up her matter, "Ziqing, what is it about Gong Chengjue that makes you like him so much?"
They're so fond of him that they neglect their own affairs and just worry about his.
Su Ziqing bit her lip and faced her own heart.
When the elevator reached the basement, she stepped out and got into her car before answering Feng Xixuan's question: "Before this, I thought I could let go of anyone, but after this, it's him."
Feng Xixuan: "..." Could he have unwittingly become an accelerator for their relationship?
"I love him, senior brother." Su Ziqing fastened her seatbelt and said earnestly and solemnly, her tone as if making a vow, more resolute than ever before.
Feng Xixuan gave a soft chuckle and said nothing more.
Su Ziqing didn't say anything more. It wasn't very far from her place to Gong Chengjue's place, but she felt that even a half-hour drive was too long.
Feng Xixuan suddenly sensed resentment in the eyes of his junior sister who was looking at him...
Look straight ahead with a serious expression, not glancing to the side!
“Senior brother…” Su Ziqing took a breath, “If… Gong Chengjue needs help, could you…”
“No.” Feng Xixuan refused outright.
