“Perhaps we can change our strategy,” Gong Changsheng said.
"What strategy?"
“Chang Fan is not capable of managing the entire family. We all know his limitations, don’t we? Third Brother stands by him, and Gong Chengjue helps him, which is why they are barely holding on. Many suggestions and decisions were not made by him.”
Gong Changsheng looked at Gong Changming and said, "I heard that Su Ziqing is pregnant, and Third Brother is thinking of keeping Su Ziqing under house arrest and raising the child himself after it is born."
Gong Changming frowned. Was he trying to sow discord between Gong Changfan and Gong Chengjue?
"I don't know if it will work." Gong Changming felt that this was giving Su Ziqing too much credit.
Can a woman influence the family structure?
"Give it a try?" Gong Changsheng wasn't very confident either, but maybe it would work?
……………………
Gong Chengjue woke up faster than anyone expected. The doctor said that he would be lucky to wake up in three days, but Gong Chengjue woke up the very next morning!
Upon receiving the news that Gong Chengjue had woken up, the entire Gong family rushed to the hospital. Regardless of their true feelings, they had to show their concern as a family.
However, the group only arrived at the hospital but did not see Gong Chengjue. At this moment, the only people in Gong Chengjue's ward were Gong Changfan, Gong Changhong, Gong Chengkun, who was also hospitalized and came down after hearing the news, and his mother Gu Mingyin.
Whether someone is related to you or not becomes especially obvious when they are sick.
Upon hearing that Gong Chengkun was injured, Gu Mingyin did not leave her son's bedside for even a minute.
As for Gong Chengjue, who was more seriously injured, well, the doctor said he won't wake up for the time being...
It's not that she doesn't care about Gong Chengjue; she just cares more about Chengkun. That's all.
Gu Mingyin's self-comfort was seen as a perfectly normal reaction by the other members of the Gong family. If Gu Mingyin were to abandon her son and stay by Gong Chengjue's side, that would truly be a shock.
However, Gu Mingyin, who always considered her son the most important person, was now so distraught that she almost threw herself into Gong Chengjue's arms.
The reason she almost wasn't close to Gong Chengjue was because she and he weren't actually that close.
She abruptly stopped the car, stood in front of the bed, and looked at Gong Chengjue. "Chengjue, you're finally awake. How are you feeling? Are you hungry? Would you like something to eat?"
Gong Chengjue had no intention of paying attention to Gu Mingyin. He simply frowned and looked at Gong Changhong, "Second Uncle, isn't this City A?"
“This is the capital city,” Gu Mingyin interjected.
Gong Changhong: "..." Can he kick this sister-in-law out?
Ever since her older brother died, this sister-in-law has been acting all dramatic!
However, considering that Gong Chengkun had risked his life to save Gong Chengjue, Gong Changhong still held back, after all, she was Gong Chengkun's mother.
"Why am I in the capital?" Seeing Gu Mingyin and Gong Chengjue gave him a feeling that he couldn't possibly be in City A.
And he guessed right!
Before he fainted, didn't he say he was going to City A?
He wants to see Su Ziqing.
Gu Mingyin was about to speak when Gong Changhong stopped her, saying, "Chengjue, you are seriously injured. The capital has the best medical technology."
"I feel fine now." Gong Chengjue struggled to get up, but he was extremely weak, having only recently recovered from a fever.
His claim of "very good" is simply an overestimation of his own abilities.
“Big brother, stop struggling. You just want to go to City A to see Miss Su. We can just call Miss Su over.” Gong Chengkun thought he had made a good suggestion and looked at Gong Changhong, “Right, Second Uncle?”
Gong Changhong had never thought that Gong Chengkun lacked intelligence before, but now he did!
That's ridiculous.
Didn't he call Su Ziqing? Ha, he did, but Su Ziqing actually said…
No time!
Yes, Su Ziqing answered him with just those two words: "No time." Gong Changhong even thought he had misheard.
No time? Have the mercenaries find Gong Chengjue and bring him back. Isn't that her? Is there a second person named Su Ziqing?
Gong Chengjue is out of danger and is about to return to the capital. Shouldn't she come to visit him now?
However, Su Ziqing not only said she was busy, but also said that she and Gong Chengjue had broken up long ago. As for hiring mercenaries to find Gong Chengjue, it was purely to repay him for his previous help to her.
What the heck? He could understand each word individually, but he couldn't figure out what they meant when put together.
Su Ziqing hung up the phone.
This happened right before Gong Chengjue woke up. Gong Changhong hadn't even processed it yet, and was still thinking about how to tell Gong Chengjue, when Gong Chengkun brought up Su Ziqing for no reason...
I really want to slap this nephew to death, okay?
"Ahem." Seeing everyone looking at him, Gong Changhong coughed lightly. "This is not urgent, Chengjue. You are seriously injured and need to cooperate with the doctor for proper treatment."
Gong Chengjue, however, understood his uncle better than Gong Chengkun. He looked at Gong Changhong and said only one sentence, "I want to see Ziqing."
He wanted to tell her everything.
Now that things have developed to this point, there's really no need to hide it anymore.
He wanted to apologize to her, he wanted them to reconcile, he wanted to marry her...
"Alright, alright." Gong Changhong nodded. "I'll have her come to see you."
“No, I’m going to see her.” Gong Chengjue’s lips unconsciously curled into a smile. “She’s not suited to be constantly on the go right now.”
The rest of the Gong family: "..."
Gong Changfan coughed lightly and interjected, "Well, Chengjue, your current girlfriend is still Miss Zhou. If you go to see Miss Su now, it might be a bit too embarrassing for the Zhou family."
Gong Changhong quickly nodded in agreement, "Yes, yes. We still need to discuss the matter with the Zhou family, right?"
"There's no need to discuss it, is there? We're not even engaged," Gong Chengkun said from the side.
Gong Changhong wanted to kick this second nephew out of the way. He was used to seeing this second nephew oppose Gong Chengjue in the past. But now? Has he become a lapdog?
When did he ever think so much about his older brother?
There was a moment of awkwardness in the ward. Gong Chengkun received a warning look from Gong Changhong, then understood and advised, "But brother, your injuries are too serious right now. Why don't you stay in the hospital for a couple of days?"
“Yes, Chengjue, look, Chengkun even injured himself and went into dangerous situations just to find you.” Gu Mingyin didn’t forget to make her son’s presence known at this moment.
The widow, who lost her husband, said that it was really too difficult to stand out in the extended family.
After being persuaded by everyone, Gong Chengjue nodded in agreement. However, before Gong Changhong could even relax, he heard Gong Chengjue say, "Give me the phone."
"Chengjue..."
Gong Chengjue was saying this to Gong Chengkun.
Gong Chengkun paused for a moment, "My phone is in the ward."
Gong Chengjue looked at Gong Changfan, who said, "I left mine in the car."
He then looked at Gong Changhong, who was thinking of an excuse when his phone rang. He used the excuse of answering the call to temporarily leave the ward.
Gu Mingyin felt important now, took out her phone, and smiled at Gong Chengjue, "Use mine, Miss Su and I exchanged numbers, oh, and added each other on WeChat."
