He was no stranger to the feeling of being looked at like an ant, because he had just looked at Gong Chengjue with that same gaze!
"What? Isn't that project very important to you? Didn't you say that once you finish this project, your father will officially hand over the company to you?" Su Xiaoman became anxious upon hearing his words.
"It's all your fault." Ou Shang didn't want to waste any more words with Su Xiaoman. He saw Su Ziqing heading towards the restroom.
……………………
The restroom is always the place with the most gossip, and Su Ziqing heard several pieces of gossip about her in just a short time there.
One was discussing her past with Auchan.
One person spoke of her friendship with Gong Chengjue.
One theory is that the Su family is going to have a property dispute.
No matter which of the three things it was, the gossipers talked about it as if they had witnessed it themselves, and their voices unconsciously rose.
Su Ziqing felt that if she stayed inside any longer, they probably wouldn't finish talking, so she coughed lightly and walked out of the cubicle.
Upon seeing the person involved in the gossip, the wealthy ladies who had been chatting about it felt somewhat embarrassed and left awkwardly.
Su Ziqing touched up her makeup in front of the mirror. She knew her current situation better than anyone else.
If it weren't for Gong Chengjue, this big shot, being here tonight, probably no one in this room would have paid any attention to her.
Compared to Su Tianming, she, the former favored daughter of the Su family, is utterly insignificant.
Will the wind change direction after tonight?
She pursed her lips and walked out of the restroom.
"Ziqing." Suddenly her hand was grabbed, and Su Ziqing's immediate reaction was to pinch the other person's pressure point with her backhand, and then she quickly let go.
Auchan suddenly felt that he could no longer exert any strength in his hands.
There's no time to think about why right now; the priority is to intercept Su Ziqing.
"Ziqing, my engagement with Su Xiaoman is not something I can decide; it's all an arrangement by my family." Ou Shang completely shirked responsibility.
Upon hearing this, Su Ziqing merely gave a cold laugh, her eyes filled with disdain as she stared at Ou Shang.
Since entering society, he has become increasingly decadent and irresponsible.
It wasn't like this when I was in school.
Auchan made a vow, "Really, I had no choice. You know I'm the only son in my family, I..."
"Oushang." Su Ziqing didn't want to listen to his nonsense. "Did your family force you to sleep with Su Xiaoman?"
Auchan: "..."
Su Ziqing tried to walk past him to leave, but Ou Shang stopped her.
Su Ziqing quickly dislocated his hand.
With a snapping sound, Auchan howled in agony, "What, what did you do to me?"
Su Ziqing gave a cold laugh, "You can shout even louder."
Ou Shang was in so much pain that cold sweat beaded on his forehead, but he had something more important to tell her right now. "This is the punishment I deserve. If it makes you feel better, I'm willing to accept it."
Su Ziqing: "..." Is he sick?
"But Ziqing, considering that we've known each other for a while and that I've helped you before, you can't be so ruthless towards me."
What did she do to him?
"This project I'm working on is really important to me." Auchan was in so much pain that he was sweating profusely and his nose was running.
"I don't understand what you're talking about," Su Ziqing said coldly.
"I don't know what kind of pressure Mr. Gong put on someone, but the project I had agreed to fall through was canceled."
"What does that have to do with me?" She had been with Gong Chengjue all night and hadn't heard him give any orders to anyone.
"Ziqing, whether I can successfully inherit the company now depends entirely on this project. Ziqing, please, please beg your Mr. Gong to help me." Ou Shang gritted his teeth; it hurt terribly.
“Ou Shang, do you think I would plead for my Mr. Gong if I had that kind of influence?” She looked at him sarcastically.
He even made a point of pronouncing "Mr. Gong" very clearly.
"Ziqing..."
"Miss Su." Luo Jinhan breathed a sigh of relief when he found Su Ziqing.
Su Ziqing looked at Luo Jinhan, "Hmm?"
Luo Jinhan whispered in her ear, "Mr. Gong is injured and felt unwell after drinking. He's in the car now."
Su Ziqing paused for a moment, then realized what was happening and started walking outside.
"Ziqing," Ou Shang called to her.
Su Ziqing turned around coldly and looked at Ou Shang, reminding him, "Your attitude and tone when we met were your own decision."
So now that there are such consequences, they have no choice but to bear them themselves.
Rather than saying that Gong Chengjue was offended because of her, she felt that he had offended Gong Chengjue. He actually called Gong Chengjue a nobody, ha!
Luo Jinhan glanced at Ou Shang's drooping arm and shivered. So Miss Su can dissect arms...
……………………
Gong Chengjue sat uncomfortably in the back seat of the car, his head resting on a pillow, his eyes closed, and his hand pinching his brow.
As soon as Su Ziqing got into the car, she saw him like this. "Gong Chengjue, how are you?"
"I don't feel well." He didn't try to be brave and say it was nothing serious, but honestly told them that he was feeling unwell.
"Dr. Qin specifically instructed Mr. Gong not to drink alcohol recently," Luo Jinhan said, getting into the passenger seat.
Su Ziqing knew that his several sips of wine tonight were because of her; normally, given his status, he wouldn't need to.
Because she had just recovered from a fever and couldn't drink alcohol, he drank for her on the few occasions she had to.
She never expected it to turn out this way.
"Go to Qin Yuheng's place," Gong Chengjue instructed the driver.
Gong Chengjue remained silent the entire way, his face grim, looking very uncomfortable.
Su Ziqing felt guilty and didn't know what to say, so she could only stare at him the whole way. The car drove smoothly, and the flickering lights shone on him, making it even harder to see his expression.
He just pursed his lips slightly, so he must have been really, really uncomfortable.
The car was completely silent. Su Ziqing opened her mouth several times, but then closed it again without saying a word.
After repeating this process several times, the car arrived at Qin Yuheng's clinic.
When Qin Yuheng saw Gong Chengjue, he didn't give him a friendly look. "You don't seem to care about your health at all, do you?"
"Dr. Qin..." Luo Jinhan felt that they should first check on Mr. Gong's condition, right?
"Didn't I tell you not to drink? Why are you drinking again?" Qin Yuheng helped Gong Chengjue sit down, glared at Luo Jinhan, clearly blaming him, the special assistant, for not doing his job properly.
Luo Jinhan dared not say it was because of Su Ziqing.
Su Ziqing felt even more guilty and looked at Qin Yuheng, "Dr. Qin, how is he?"
"What do you think?" Qin Yuheng asked instead of answering.
At this moment, Gong Chengjue broke out in a cold sweat, feeling that the people around him were incredibly noisy.
"Noisy." He opened his eyes and stared intently at Su Ziqing.
Su Ziqing felt extremely guilty.
While rambling on about prescribing the medicine, Qin Yuheng instructed, "Watch out for a fever tonight, and if he does, remember to give him this medicine."
