Su Ziqing carefully considered her words, "I only saw some snippets in the news."
For a family like the Gong family to have problems during a funeral is, frankly, quite embarrassing, and it even got reported by the media.
What does this tell us? It shows that things are so chaotic that even public relations haven't been done!
As things stand now, is there any news about the Gong family that can be obtained from outside? No, only that report from Fengchi.com...
Wait a minute, something suddenly flashed through Su Ziqing's mind. She looked at Gong Changfan, hesitated for a moment, but swallowed her question back down.
If the outside world doesn't get the news, why would Fengchi.com have it?
Why is only the Fengchi Meat news website reporting this? Is this... deliberately leaked by the Gong family?
Gong Changfan did not notice Su Ziqing's strangeness. He continued, "You can probably imagine how fierce the competition for the Gong family's heir was. In the end, my second and fourth brothers were dissatisfied with my being entrusted with this important task."
“I know that. But… what can they do if they disagree with what’s already been decided?” Su Ziqing said. For a large family like the Gong family, it’s actually very difficult to reverse the situation like the Su family did.
“They want to split the Gong family,” Gong Changfan said.
Is that what you mean by "separating the family"?
Gong Changfan shook his head, "It's worse than the family division, and... Gong Chang knew that Chengjue was the next head of the family appointed by the old man. In addition, Chengjue and he have never gotten along well, so he had murderous intentions."
Su Ziqing listened patiently.
She nodded from time to time, because she had also sensed these things when she was with Gong Chengjue.
However, Gong Changfan still concealed the terrifying matter of the kill order to prevent Su Ziqing from becoming even more frightened.
After listening to Gong Changfan's explanation, Su Ziqing finally understood the whole story.
In other words, Gong Changming not only disobeys the current head of the family, but also wants to kill Gong Chengjue and, incidentally, engage in shady business to drag the entire Gong family down with him.
They're planning to hurt themselves as much as the enemy, which is practically a "what's the use" approach.
Because of Gong Changming's "what's the use of trying" attitude, their efforts to maintain the positive image of the Gong family have been hampered at every turn, making them somewhat passive.
Gong Changfan twitched the corner of his mouth, "These things could have been resolved by simply stalling for time, however..."
His eyes swept over her abdomen.
If the child in his belly wasn't Gong Chengjue's, then he really wanted to hang Gong Chengjue up and beat him, provided that he returned unharmed.
Su Ziqing remained silent.
“As the next head of the family, his wife’s status must be legitimate,” Gong Changfan said.
This is not something that Gong Chengjue can change just by being willful. In a large family, some rules can be changed, while others cannot. This is a matter of face.
Otherwise, Gong Chengjue wouldn't have dared to embarrass Su Ziqing in front of the old man.
Su Ziqing had actually guessed that Gong Chengjue would be the next head of the family, but...
She looked at Gong Changfan and asked, "Didn't he plan to arrange a marriage with the Zhou family?" His eyes seemed to say that she was the one who should be Gong Chengjue's wife.
What is all this nonsense?
Gong Changfan was puzzled by her question, and it was Gong Chengjue's own business to explain it.
He only said what he could say.
Gong Changfan checked the time and stood up. "The Gong family is still in a mess. Miss Su, please be careful."
He glanced at her abdomen and added, "Take good care of the baby."
Su Ziqing: "..."
Seeing that he seemed about to leave, Su Ziqing stood up as well. "Could I contact Mr. Gong Changhong?"
Gong Changfan shook his head. "Third Brother is currently at the border."
Su Ziqing's eyes were pleading, "Can I go to the border? Just tell me the location." She wouldn't trouble the Gong family's manpower.
However, Gong Changfan refused, saying, "Miss Su, your priority now is to ensure the safety of your pregnancy. If you go, and someone with ulterior motives finds out that the child in your belly is Chengjue's... possibly Chengjue's, it will be very dangerous for you."
Su Ziqing said with a serious face, "I will be careful."
"I'm sorry," Gong Changfan said, still cruelly refusing her. "Informing you of the matter is already the bottom line. You cannot get involved in anything else."
"Am I just supposed to wait like this?" She was almost ready to curse.
"Yes." Gong Changfan stopped talking and told the butler to see the guest out.
Su Ziqing felt very uncomfortable and said to Gong Changfan, "I have visited the Gong family twice today. Perhaps in other people's eyes, this has already implicated me."
Gong Changfan paused for a moment, then looked at Su Ziqing, "Then you need to be even more careful." After saying that, he walked directly to the door. The driver had already prepared the car, and the door opened.
Su Ziqing could only watch as Gong Changfan drove away.
Knowing the news isn't much better than not knowing. On the contrary, she's now not only worried and fearful, but also full of speculation.
The butler escorted Su Ziqing out of the Gong residence. Lu Linghong watched the luxury car drive out of the Gong family home and also saw Su Ziqing walking out.
When she came out, he went straight up to her and asked, "How was it?" She had been inside for so long, they must have talked a lot, right?
Su Ziqing looked at Lu Linghong, but before she could speak, she heard the butler say, "Miss Su, it's hot, be careful not to get sunburned."
Su Ziqing turned her head, nodded to the housekeeper, and then got into the car first.
Lu Linghong turned the car's air conditioning to the highest setting and opened the windows to let in some fresh air. He had waited outside instead of sitting in the car with the air conditioning on.
His face was a little red from the sun, and there was some sweat on his forehead.
Su Ziqing looked at him and said, "Senior brother, can we try to contact Senior Brother Feng?" She felt that it was no coincidence that Feng Xixuan and Gong Chengjue were both on the border.
She couldn't find Gong Chengjue. Perhaps she should ask Senior Brother Feng if he knew something but was hiding it from her!
"What did the Gong family say?" Lu Linghong asked.
"I'm sorry, I can't tell you." Su Ziqing had promised Gong Changfan that she wouldn't tell anyone.
She trusted Lu Linghong, but precisely because of that trust, she couldn't tell him anything.
The fact that he couldn't say a word confirmed Lu Linghong's guess. He uttered, "It seems that something really serious has happened to the Gong family."
Su Ziqing responded with silence. Yes, something big had happened.
And it's still fermenting.
She can't contact Gong Chengjue or anyone else, and she can't even reach her "golden finger" senior brother Feng.
She was incredibly passive.
I wonder how Gong Chengjue is doing now...
She never believed in fate, but now she wanted to pray to fate for Gong Chengjue's safe return.
Her hand unconsciously tightened around her phone, her mind racing, wondering what she could do at this moment...
However, it seemed that there was really nothing she could do but wait.
"Don't worry, let me see if I can get in touch with Senior Brother Feng," Lu Linghong said reassuringly.
