The secretary shook her head. "No, no."
Su Ziqing chuckled lightly, "Or is it that my aura has become so overwhelming that you dare not even breathe when you see me?"
The secretary looked like she was about to cry, and kept her head down, not daring to say a word.
Su Ziqing coughed twice. "Tell me, what is it that's making you so tight-lipped?"
"Well, it's nothing much, just the latest news. They say a big case has been solved at the border." The secretary didn't dare to look up at Su Ziqing.
"Oh, what's wrong with saying this?" He didn't dare to say it in front of her.
The secretary remained silent. Su Ziqing then added, "There is no such thing as peace in the world. The tranquility we enjoy is only because someone is bearing the burden for us." This line was also a monologue from a movie.
"That's it?" she casually asked her secretary.
"The news mentioned Mr. Gong."
Su Ziqing opened the folder, and upon hearing this, her hand froze slightly. "Hmm?"
"Miss Su, the news is very short." But usually, the shorter the news, the bigger the event. Looking at Su Ziqing's face, the secretary couldn't bring herself to say that Mr. Gong had passed away.
The news was very short, only about a hundred words, but even this one news item was quite frightening.
Mr. Gong has passed away. His secretary knew a thing or two about Mr. Gong Chengjue and Miss Su. He was so young...
Although I broke up with Miss Su, Miss Su is pregnant... that child...
Seeing that her secretary seemed unable to finish her sentence even when she had to repeat it three times, Su Ziqing opened her computer and went online.
Which website?
Phoenix.com
Su Ziqing opened the page, and the news about a major case solved on the border took up very little space on Phoenix.com. It was just bolded and the font wasn't even enlarged.
However……
"Ms. Su, please accept my condolences." Seeing that Su Ziqing was in a daze, the secretary quickly comforted her, "For the sake of the baby, please don't let your emotions fluctuate too much."
News reports suggest that the eldest grandson of the Gong family may have been killed.
Although the name wasn't explicitly stated, isn't the eldest grandson of the Gong family Gong Chengjue?!
Su Ziqing's face turned pale, and her fingers were trembling.
"These news reports... are made up." She didn't believe it. Gong Chengjue was such a busy person, how could he have time to go to the border?
Furthermore, the location mentioned in the news was clearly very dangerous, and given Gong Chengjue's status, it would be even more impossible for him to put himself in danger.
That's nonsense, it must be nonsense.
She desperately told herself that this couldn't possibly happen, but her body couldn't stop trembling.
She picked up her phone and called Gong Chengjue.
She stopped arguing with him and stopped getting angry. They decided to part ways peacefully, wishing each other well as they married and moved on...
The phone was busy.
Su Ziqing trembled uncontrollably. She thought she had long accepted her separation from Gong Chengjue and even despised his subsequent entanglement. But now she realized that it was all a lie.
The news of her death was a huge shock to her, like a giant wave that suddenly crashed over and swallowed her up.
She tried calling again, but the call still wouldn't go through.
Su Ziqing thought about calling Luo Jinhan again, but she had deleted all the phone numbers related to Gong Chengjue last time.
She had just dialed a number, unaware that she had already memorized Gong Chengjue's phone number.
But she didn't remember Luo Jinhan's phone number.
She was in a hurry, a very hurry.
"Miss Su." Seeing Su Ziqing looking lost and fumbling through the drawers, the secretary was very worried.
Su Ziqing looked at her secretary, "Find his contact information, Luo Jinhan's contact information."
Luo Jinhan is Gong Chengjue's special assistant; if there's anything wrong, just ask him.
However, Gong Chengjue's contact number is hard to find, and Luo Jinhan, as Gong Chengjue's special assistant, is also hard to find for ordinary companies.
It's really not easy for the secretary to find Luo Jinhan's contact information in such a short time.
Su Ziqing had never hated herself as much as she did at this moment. Why had she been so dramatic as to delete Luo Jinhan's phone number?!
Why not just let it lie quietly in the address book?
She just won't touch it. Luo Jinhan won't bother her anyway. Besides, what's the point of deleting Luo Jinhan's phone number if he wants to call her?
Calm down, calm down. There must be other ways to contact him, there must be.
She suddenly remembered that Zhou Ruoling had sent her a message when she returned the money to her.
The messaging function has long been replaced by WeChat. Apart from deducting fees, the function of SMS is almost useless.
Su Ziqing opened the message bar and scrolled down through the messages one by one. She had never noticed how many spam messages there were before, but now she realized how annoying they were.
She finally found a number and dialed it directly.
She didn't even consider what her ex-boyfriend's eagerness would make her current boyfriend think.
It wasn't until the call connected and Zhou Ruoling's voice came through that Su Ziqing realized that her behavior was very unbecoming of her status.
She's my ex...
It sounds very strange to call someone's current partner to ask about Gong Chengjue's current situation.
It was completely quiet on Zhou Ruoling's end; not a single sound could be heard. "Miss Su, is there anything I can help you with?"
Zhou Ruoling had Su Ziqing's phone number saved.
Su Ziqing calmed herself down and said, "Ms. Zhou, I saw the news."
Zhou Ruoling remained silent.
Seeing this, Su Ziqing quickly explained, "Don't misunderstand, I didn't mean anything by it, and I never intended to interfere in your relationship..."
"I can't get in touch with Gong Chengjue either." Zhou Ruoling said this, interrupting Su Ziqing's explanation, as if something was blocking her throat.
"What, what do you mean?" Su Ziqing thought she must have misheard and was somewhat incredulous. "You're his current girlfriend, and you're even planning to get married, aren't you? How come you can't contact him?"
When she was with Gong Chengjue before, she couldn't contact him? That's almost unheard of!
Zhou Ruoling wanted to say that we weren't as close as you think, but there was no need for her to explain.
“Yes, we are different.” She is different from Su Ziqing.
Su Ziqing didn't catch the ambiguous implication and simply asked again, "Have you contacted Assistant Luo yet?"
This is a bit awkward. Zhou Ruoling coughed lightly, "I don't have Assistant Luo's private number."
Su Ziqing: "..." So, how did you become someone's girlfriend?!
However, Su Ziqing, who hadn't lost her rationality, ultimately didn't shout those words out. Besides, she felt that Zhou Ruoling's calmness was a bit too ruthless.
She's his current girlfriend, after all. Even if there's no love involved, there's definitely a business relationship involved. Although they haven't officially gotten married yet, they're always seen together at banquets, making quite a splash. Now that Gong Chengjue is in trouble, she doesn't even show a hint of emotion in her tone.
Su Ziqing was utterly heartbroken.
