Su Ziqing stood against the light, her back to her, a shadowy figure. She didn't turn around, but simply said, "You can give it a try."
Outside, Gong Chengjue had been 'strolling' along the roadside for quite some time.
Watching the hearse come and go, and seeing Su Xiaoman, the person I hated the most, enter the Su family home.
He resisted the urge to go in, and sure enough, he saw Su Ziqing come out a short while later.
The two walked towards each other. Su Ziqing looked very calm, so calm that it pained him.
“I want to go to my grandfather’s grave to offer incense,” she said.
"I'll go with you."
She hummed in agreement.
Strolling along the quiet roadside, I followed the familiar path to the grave.
Because Madam Su was forced to come and repent every day, no weeds grew in front of her grave, and the cemetery looked clean and new.
Su Ziqing burned incense and bowed to the old man's photo in front of the grave. "Grandpa, I know you will blame me, but... I don't regret it."
Whether it's Su Tianming, Su Tianhao, or the old lady Su who committed suicide now, they all deserved their fate!
It's likely that Madam Su committed suicide after receiving news of Su Tianhao's imprisonment. This final straw finally led her to take her own life.
hehe.
Then she went to her parents' graves.
To be honest, she doesn't have many memories of her parents anymore. In terms of affection, she is closer to her grandfather because she has indeed spent the most time with him over the past ten years.
She bowed before her parents' graves, saying, "Dad, Mom, I have brought the murderer to justice. Rest in peace."
Su Ziqing did not stay in front of the ancestral tomb for long. After finishing her words, she and Gong Chengjue slowly walked down the mountain.
She called her secretary and said, "Buy a piece of land in Fushouyuan."
Gong Chengjue remained silent. What right did Old Madam Su have to be buried in the Su family's ancestral tomb after she killed the old man?
Su Ziqing originally wanted to scatter her ashes into the Yangtze River, but after thinking about it, she changed her mind and decided to bury her in the Fushouyuan Cemetery, which was already her biggest concession.
Now, no one in the Su family can stop her from making any decision.

Beijing
Songzi carried two bowls of fresh noodles into the private room, wearing a kimono and white cloth socks, and walked without making a sound.
The aroma of steaming hot noodles filled the air as soon as she opened the door to the private room.
Su Ziqing smiled at Feng Xixuan across from her, her face full of flattery, "Senior brother, Mr. Sakai's fresh noodles are super delicious, I highly recommend them."
Feng Xixuan, wearing a striped dark blue shirt with the sleeves rolled up, looked ready to feast, but deliberately spoke with a cold tone, "Hmph, you think a bowl of noodles can cool me down?"
Su Ziqing shook her head, "No, it has to be at least two bowls! If that's not enough, then three bowls!"
Songzi knelt on the ground and placed two bowls of noodles in front of the two women. "Miss Su, we just got a super fresh tuna. Would you like one?"
Su Ziqing shook her head, "I have a bit of a reaction to raw food." Although sashimi is the most popular Japanese dish, Su Ziqing has always been unable to accept it.
"Then make sushi?" Su Ziqing was brought by Gong Chengjue, and Songzi knew that her status was different from others.
Su Ziqing nodded, "Okay."
"I want to eat sashimi," Feng Xixuan said calmly.
"Then give me two servings." Su Ziqing looked at Feng Xixuan with a smile. As long as he was willing to eat, it meant that her senior brother's anger should have subsided.
Songzi smiled and nodded, "Okay."
Feng Xixuan's pickiness was on par with Gong Chengjue's, and Gong Chengjue praised this place highly. Su Ziqing was very confident that Feng Xixuan would enjoy the meal.
So she urged Feng Xixuan to start eating, and when she took the first bite of noodles, she gave her a smug smile, "Doesn't it taste authentic?"
"It's alright," Feng Xixuan said casually, but her hand honestly picked up a second chopstick and ate half a bowl in no time.
"This place doesn't seem to be open to the public much. How did you, an out-of-towner, find it?" Feng Xixuan noticed this when he arrived.
Although it was his first time in the capital, he knew that this courtyard and this location were not something that ordinary people could own, let alone rent here to do business.
Even if you sell this bowl of noodles for a hundred times the price outside, you still can't afford the rent.
“Chengjue brought me here,” Su Ziqing said honestly.
The moment Gong Chengjue's name was mentioned, Feng Xixuan's face turned sour. "You can't stop talking about his name."
"No, I don't think so..." This was the first time she had ever mentioned Gong Chengjue's name today.
"Speak up, why are you being so attentive for no reason?" Feng Xixuan glanced at her, seeing right through her.
Su Ziqing shook her head, "Didn't I promise you I'd take you to eat Japanese food last time? It's been so long since I did it."
Feng Xixuan let out a cold laugh.
Songzi brought in two servings of tuna sashimi.
Looking at Su Ziqing, he seemed hesitant to speak.
Gong Chengjue arrived, but he had made an appointment with someone else and went to a different private room. In other words, their arrival here today was a coincidence.
Su Ziqing looked at Songzi, "What's wrong?"
Songzi smiled and shook her head. It was just a coincidence that they had a meal together, nothing serious. She just wondered if Mr. Gong would be jealous of the person who was "on a date" with Miss Su.
Su Ziqing was preoccupied with her own thoughts and didn't notice Songzi's hesitation.
"Senior brother, thank you for helping Chengjue out of his predicament." Gong Chengjue had already told her that a project overseas had been successfully signed, and the financial backer behind it was Feng Xixuan.
Feng Xixuan, however, refused to admit it, "I'm helping Gong Chengjue? You must have misunderstood something."
Su Ziqing smiled with narrowed eyes, "Don't deny it. Although you didn't do it personally, you definitely had your subordinates handle it, right?"
"I don't know what you're talking about," Feng Xixuan sneered.
Su Ziqing knew that Feng Xixuan disliked Gong Chengjue, but when Gong Chengjue was in trouble some time ago, he still helped her despite his sharp tongue. Su Ziqing knew it was because of her.
"Good senior brother, please help me to the end, okay?" She looked at him expectantly, pouting like a little girl.
"What do you want to do?" Feng Xixuan picked up a piece of raw fish, dipped it in chili sauce, and swallowed it. It was indeed very fresh.
This Japanese restaurant is indeed excellent; the chef is highly skilled.
"I'd like you to help me investigate..." Su Ziqing poured sake for Feng Xixuan, and the two of them heard her voice at just the right moment.
Feng Xixuan stared at her, the ease on her face vanishing completely. She looked at her coldly and asked, "Was this Gong Chengjue's idea, or did you just meddle?"
“You know that Chengjue’s status in the Gong family is not what it used to be. He can no longer use many people in the Gong family. Besides, this is his private matter…”
