In the end, Gong Chengjue was chosen as the pallbearer for Old Master Gong. As for what troubles arose in the process that led to this outcome, and how long the Gong family argued about it, we will not go into details for now.
In short, things didn't go smoothly.
However, no matter how chaotic things were inside, on the day of the funeral, no one in the Gong family dared to act recklessly, and everyone showed signs of grief and sorrow.
Almost all the celebrities in the capital were present, and even some who were at odds with the Gong family sent wreaths, showing respect for the deceased.
Because of the popularity of short videos, even though the Gong family did not allow media reporters to film the funeral, the Gong family's funeral still went viral on short video apps.
Su Ziqing sat on the sofa, watching short videos on the app, and caught a fleeting glimpse of Gong Chengjue.
He looked haggard and had lost a lot of weight; his clothes, which used to fit him well, now looked rather loose.
Hearing the door open, she quickly pretended to be talking about work, feeling guilty, "Okay, I know, I'll go to the company this afternoon."
Then she put down her phone and looked at Feng Xixuan, who had just returned. Hmm, Lu Linghong was following behind her.
Lu Linghong hadn't seen Su Ziqing for a while, and he was shocked to see how much weight she had lost. He frowned and asked, "How did you lose so much weight?"
Su Ziqing raised her hand and touched her face. "The company is too busy, you must be tired."
Feng Xixuan and Lu Linghong had just returned from attending Old Master Gong's memorial service, both wearing black suits.
The two of them took off their suits, and Lu Linghong even rolled up his sleeves a couple of times. He sat opposite Su Ziqing and asked her, "It must be tiring since you just took over the company. Is there anything I can help you with?"
Su Ziqing shook her head, "I called you to ask about some of them. It's alright, apart from being a bit busy, it's not chaotic."
After saying that, she added, "I recruited a few people from headhunters, and they're very capable. I'll be able to relax a bit in a few days."
"Have you eaten?" Feng Xixuan asked Su Ziqing as he came out after changing into a new coat.
"I ate a little bit." She had a poor appetite, and she didn't know if it was just psychological, but she couldn't smell anything right now.
It wasn't this dramatic before I found out I was pregnant.
Feng Xixuan guessed correctly; the so-called "little bit" meant almost nothing.
"Change your clothes and go out to eat," he said, without any intention of discussing it further.
"Senior brother, I'm not hungry."
“You’re not hungry, but you…” Feng Xixuan swallowed the rest of his words, but said in an uncompromising tone, “I’m hungry.”
Lu Linghong felt as if something was being kept from him. It was a strange feeling, but that was how he felt.
He glanced at Su Ziqing, then at Feng Xixuan.
So, Su Ziqing and Gong Chengjue broke up, but why doesn't my senior brother seem happy at all? He was even more against Su Ziqing being with Gong Chengjue than I was.
Logically, now that he's broken up with Gong Chengjue, shouldn't his senior brother be overjoyed and setting off firecrackers?
But when I attended the memorial service, my senior brother looked at Gong Chengjue with a very strange expression...
It was as if he wanted to kill someone, completely different from his usual dislike or dislike; it was as if Gong Chengjue had done something wrong.
The question is, is it because of the breakup? It doesn't seem like it.
So... what exactly happened that he didn't know about?
He looked at Feng Xixuan, hesitant to speak, "Senior brother, Ziqing, she..."
Feng Xixuan looked at him and said, "Don't ask."
Lu Linghong: "..." So, you were indeed hiding something from him, weren't you?
Lu Linghong felt he was being ostracized!
Is your little heart hurt?
Senior Brother Feng is still blaming him for not keeping a close eye on Su Ziqing, who was actually 'defiled' by Gong Chengjue, isn't he? He's also blaming him for not caring enough for Su Ziqing, for acting like an idiot and not knowing anything when Su Ziqing needed help the most, allowing Gong Chengjue to get there first.
But he was abroad at the time.
Lu Linghong was truly innocent and helpless.
If he had returned to China earlier, Gong Chengjue wouldn't have been involved. However, there are no "ifs".
Su Ziqing changed into a pair of pants and a thin long shirt before coming out.
Feng Xixuan immediately objected, "Wear casual clothes."
Su Ziqing was speechless, "But..."
"Change!"
Why is he like this?!
Su Ziqing changed into casual pants, and when she changed her shoes, she chose mid-to-high heels, but Feng Xixuan criticized her again, saying, "Wear flat shoes."
"Senior brother..." Please, she had the illusion that he wasn't her senior brother, but the father of her child.
The thought that Gong Chengjue was just like him sent a chill down Su Ziqing's spine; it was terrifying.
But then she thought again, they had already broken up, she was just overthinking it.
Lu Linghong felt as if all his intelligence had been unleashed at this moment, and his gaze involuntarily fell on Su Ziqing's abdomen. "Ziqing, you, you are not..."
Su Ziqing felt a tightness in her back and pretended to calmly change into her flat shoes.
Lu Linghong didn't have the courage to guess further, but seeing that Su Ziqing remained silent, he turned his gaze to Feng Xixuan.
However, Feng Xixuan was even tighter on the lips than Su Ziqing.
Completely ignoring Lu Linghong's inquisitive gaze, she even pressed down on Su Ziqing's bag, saying, "You don't need to bring a bag."
"I have some things to take with me..." Su Ziqing explained.
Then Feng Xixuan handed the bag to Lu Linghong, saying, "Here you take it."
Lu Linghong, who had instantly gone from being a senior student to a bag carrier, was certain that they were hiding something from him.
Moreover, judging from the subtle clues such as her clothing, shoes, and heavy work (carrying bags counts as heavy work), he could almost be certain that Su Ziqing was pregnant.
Lu Linghong felt as if his heart had shattered into pieces.
Although I was already mentally prepared when I learned that Su Ziqing and Gong Chengjue were living together.
But when such a thing actually happened one day, he felt that even breathing was difficult.
It turns out that he wasn't as capable of controlling himself as he thought.
He simply couldn't do it.
She was initially happy about the news of her breakup with Gong Chengjue, but now she's so devastated that she doesn't even have the strength to speak.
Lu Linghong felt as if his soul had left his body. Holding Su Ziqing's bag, he silently followed behind them.
Su Ziqing felt like banging her head against the wall. The two people she most wanted to hide things from had guessed what she was trying to hide the moment they met her. Was she such a failure?
The three of them were in the elevator, but no one spoke, creating an awkward atmosphere. Su Ziqing coughed lightly, "What should we eat?"
Feng Xixuan looked at Lu Linghong, "What do you think, Linghong?"
"Anything is fine." Lu Linghong's eyes were like still water, without the slightest fluctuation. What to eat? He couldn't eat anything.
Feng Xixuan glanced at him out of the corner of her eye, then made a decision, "Let's go to that Japanese restaurant you took me to last time."
"Huh?" Su Ziqing was somewhat surprised.
"The food there tastes pretty good," Feng Xixuan said casually.
"Then I'll call and see if I can make an appointment." As she spoke, Su Ziqing took out her phone from her bag, and the small lab report she had folded fell to the ground.
Lu Linghong bent down to pick it up.
