“If Chengkun is really that weak, Third Brother wouldn’t have agreed to his request.” Gong Changfan finished speaking, then asked Gu Mingyin to leave for a moment, as he needed to talk to Su Ziqing.
He received the message that Su Ziqing had Xiang Liyi pass on to him yesterday.
Has she finally admitted that the child is Chengjue's? That's good news.
He helped confirm things that Chengjue hadn't even decided yet, though the way he did it was a little unpleasant.
Gu Mingyin didn't argue or make a scene; she had already said what she needed to say.
Gong Changfan went over and closed the ward door, then walked towards Su Ziqing, "Ziqing..."
"Mr. Gong, it would be better if you called me Miss Su." Su Ziqing immediately corrected him when she heard Gong Changfan change his form of address.
His complexion wasn't exactly good either.
It's ridiculous that they're trying to keep her under house arrest here under the guise of doing what's best for her.
Gong Changfan: "..." Okay, he knew that Su Ziqing was a person with a strong personality, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to 'mess up' the Su family like that at such a young age.
However, just because she asked him to address her as Miss Su didn't mean he had to listen. He smiled lightly and said, "In terms of seniority, I will be the child's great-uncle in the future. It would be too deliberate for me to call you Miss Su now."
Su Ziqing pursed her lips. She didn't want to laugh at all, and she didn't find it funny either!
"It seems that Madam Gong has conveyed my message. So, Mr. Gong, what is your decision? Have you made up your mind?" Su Ziqing looked at him with a serious expression.
"Ziqing, the child in your belly is Chengjue's, so you should understand the danger you're in now..."
Su Ziqing interrupted Gong Changfan's 'kind advice', "Mr. Gong, I refuse to be arranged to stay here by your Gong family."
"So, Ziqing, where would you like to go? The main house? Or another villa in the capital? Either is fine." Gong Changfan deliberately misunderstood her meaning.
Su Ziqing gave a cold laugh, "If Mr. Gong continues to play dumb, then this conversation will become meaningless."
Gong Changfan remained silent for a while before saying, "Miss Su, just consider it for Chengjue's sake, okay? Accept the protection the Gong family will give you."
“I am not some fragile porcelain,” Su Ziqing refused firmly. “Mr. Gong, I am not a woman who depends on you men to live.”
They are not dependent on the Gong family for survival.
What's more, they've kept her under house arrest here, yet they haven't told her a single thing about Gong Chengjue, claiming they're afraid she'll be too emotionally affected if she finds out, which would be bad for the fetus.
Haha, they've told us everything, and they're still standing on the moral high ground. They think that if she doesn't listen to their arrangements, she's ungrateful and has no sense of propriety?
"Miss Su, please don't misunderstand..."
"Then Mr. Gong, please don't do anything that might mislead me." Su Ziqing interrupted Gong Changfan again. She had no interest in hearing what Gong Changfan was saying.
She had only one goal: to leave this place!
Seeing that Su Ziqing was angry, Gong Changfan didn't continue to make her angry, and simply stopped talking.
To be honest, he has a temper too, okay? As the head of the Gong family, doesn't he have any pride? She's already interrupted him twice!
He's only doing this for the sake of the child, okay? Otherwise, why would he have nothing better to do?
He was thinking that if something really happened to Gong Chengjue, this child was someone he was very worried about, because it was because of the child that Gong Chengjue had taken this risk.
So, as the head of the family, or as an uncle considering his nephew's best interests, isn't it only right that he protects Gong Chengjue's bloodline?
At such a dangerous time, wouldn't it be better for Su Ziqing to obediently be a pregnant woman?
Ha, it really isn't good.
As far as Su Ziqing was concerned, Gong Changfan's intentions were impure. Not to mention, the child was her child, and she never even considered that the child belonged to the Gong family.
Gong Changfan is meddling way too much.
Gong Changfan was only concerned with the fact that the child belonged to the Gong family, not hers...
This is the fundamental contradiction between the two.
There's nothing we can do; we're not married, so legally there's really no connection between us.
Not fighting over the child?
It doesn't exist.
The two remained silent, calming each other down and suppressing their arrogance.
Su Ziqing wouldn't be so mindless as to confront Gong Changfan head-on, but of course, if it really came to that, she wouldn't be afraid to confront him head-on!
She looked at Gong Changfan and tried to reason with him, "Mr. Gong, do you know what the situation was like when Chengjue and I first met?"
Gong Changfan shook his head, wondering why she suddenly brought this up.
Su Ziqing said seriously, "I also saved his life."
Gong Changfan: "..."
"He was being chased by mercenaries and was seriously injured in the hotel's underground parking garage..." Su Ziqing described the scene, using rather dramatic adjectives to vividly recreate the perilous moment.
He simply hid in her car to avoid the mercenaries, but she insisted on describing it as her fighting off the mercenaries and easily rescuing Gong Chengjue.
Gong Changfan almost believed it when he heard it...
There was no way around it; he almost believed it because it wasn't surprising that Gong Chengjue was being chased by mercenaries, even though he genuinely didn't know about it.
However, even someone with basic intelligence knows that Su Ziqing's plan to fight mercenaries to rescue Gong Chengjue sounds rather unrealistic.
If it's true that she saved Gong Chengjue, then there must have been other opportunities at the time.
Seeing his suspicious look, Su Ziqing chuckled softly, as if she was about to show him her new skills.
"Mr. Gong, you don't believe me? Then you can go and check on Su Enen's situation a while ago." Su Ziqing originally wanted to say, "Why don't you come forward and I'll prove it to you?" But she decided against it; she didn't want to take action right now.
Moreover, she felt she should keep some backup plans, since she wasn't familiar with Gong Changfan, okay?
If things really turn sour, she'll have to leave herself a way out.
"What does this have to do with Su Enen?" Gong Changfan asked, puzzled.
"Just call and ask. With your Gong family's connections in the capital, you should be able to find out soon." Su Ziqing had an expression that said, "I won't tell you, but you'll be interested to know."
Gong Changfan made the phone call right in front of her.
Then, less than five minutes later, Gong Changfan's phone rang.
He listened to what was being said on the other end of the phone without his expression changing.
After hanging up the phone, he looked at Su Ziqing and asked, "Su Enen is still not recovered. Was this your doing?"
Su Ziqing simply smiled, "Does Mr. Gong now believe the fact that I saved Gong Chengjue when we first met?"
She's no ordinary rich girl.
Imprison her as protection? Save that nonsense for rich girls who are forced to compromise with reality.
She doesn't need it.
Gong Changfan sighed, "Miss Su, it's not that I don't believe in your abilities, but... given your current condition, the doctor says you should stay in bed to rest and protect your pregnancy."
"Mr. Gong seems to have misunderstood me," Su Ziqing said coldly.
