"Su Xiaoman." Su Ziqing turned around and walked back.
Su Xiaoman unconsciously took a step back.
"Since you put it that way, then I'll live up to that reputation and show you what it means to be unable to stand to see you doing well!" Su Ziqing turned and walked away.
"What are you going to do, Su Ziqing? What do you want to do?" Su Xiaoman's voice echoed loudly in the lobby.
Su Ziqing completely ignored her and left with Gong Chengjue holding her hand.
After getting into the car, Su Ziqing didn't say a word, resting her left cheek on her hand and gazing out the window.
"What are you thinking about?" Gong Chengjue asked softly, looking at her profile.
The scenery outside the car window slowly receded, and Su Ziqing turned her head to look at him, "Thinking about how to solidify the bad reputation Su Xiaoman gave me."
Gong Chengjue looked at her, and seeing her serious expression, he smiled slightly, "Would you like me to give you some advice?"
Sitting in the passenger seat, Luo Jinhan thought, "..." Why does it feel like the wife is in charge and the husband is in charge?
Su Ziqing looked at him, "Hmm?"
"What does she care about most?" Gong Chengjue gave serious advice, "What would make her lose?"
What does Su Xiaoman care about most? She really doesn't know.
She shook her head. "I don't know, but Su Xiaoman always takes whatever I like. She's quite vain."
"If she didn't have money and status, would she still be able to be vain?" Gong Chengjue smiled, as if he could make Su Xiaoman lose these things with just a few words.
"Um?"
Gong Chengjue reached out and took her hand, playing with it. "Can we start playing together from a young age?"
Su Ziqing blinked. "For example?"
"I heard the marriage proposal to the Su family fell through," he said casually.
Su Ziqing really didn't know about this. "It's off?"
Su Xiaoman and Auchan?
How is that possible?
Suddenly, she thought of something and looked at him, "You did this?" Otherwise, given Su Xiaoman and Ou Shang's many years of 'relationship' and their engagement, how could it have fallen through?
Gong Chengjue shook his head and said innocently, "I haven't done anything yet."
He really didn't do anything.
Su Ziqing: "...Really?"
“Really.” He nodded seriously. “It’s just that others overthink things and wisely choose to protect themselves.”
Before she could ask any more questions, he added, "I'm going to do something, something more."
"Playing it safe?" Su Ziqing looked at him. "What exactly happened?"
"It seems that the project handled by Auchan was almost signed but then fell through..."
She knew about this; Ou Shang had even come to her about it, begging her to plead with Gong Chengjue on his behalf. But how did this have to do with his marriage to Su Xiaoman?
"And then?" She felt she had a pretty good idea.
"Then the Ou family overthought things and wisely chose to cancel the engagement with the Su family." Gong Chengjue played with her hand, finding that he had grown to like this little pleasure.
Su Ziqing: "..."
She noticed that Gong Chengjue looked somewhat gloating.
He played with her hand, then suddenly tightened his grip. "Feeling sorry for her?"
"Why should I be heartbroken?" she said calmly. What was there for her to be heartbroken about? "I'm overjoyed."
"Happy?" He frowned, his mind wandering again.
Su Ziqing was speechless. So, she couldn't even be happy?
Thinking of what he said that night, she explained for some reason, "Call me petty if you want, I'm happy to see Auchan like this."
"Really?" He looked deeply into her eyes, as if he could see through even the smallest lie she told.
"certainly."
“Then let’s play something bigger next.” Gong Chengjue said seriously, even grabbing her hand and kissing the back of it. “I’ll get revenge for all those who bullied you.”
Su Ziqing was stunned: "..."
………………………
Su Xiaoman rushed into Su Tianming's office.
Having barged in without prior notice, Su Tianming's face turned extremely ugly. "What are you doing?"
Although he loved his daughter dearly, he was in a very bad mood and had no desire to indulge her.
Su Xiaoman looked at Attorney Wu, who was present, and then at Su Tianming. "Dad, I want to talk to you."
Su Tianming asked Attorney Wu to leave first, "Speak, what is it?"
"I won't abort the child, not even if you kill me." Su Xiaoman's tears fell in a stream. "Go and talk to the Ou family for me."
"Nonsense." Su Tianming glared at her. "You should listen to your mother's arrangements."
“Originally, our two families’ marriage should have been a joyous occasion. Don’t you think the Ou family is great? Don’t you like Auchan?” Su Xiaoman stepped forward and grabbed Su Tianming’s hand, acting coquettishly.
"That's enough. We can talk about it when we get home. I'm very busy right now." Su Tianming had no time to deal with these personal matters.
"It's all Su Ziqing's fault, it's all her fault! She just can't stand to see me doing well. I ran into her downstairs just now, Dad, why is she here?" Su Xiaoman grabbed Su Tianming's hand and wouldn't let go, accusing him.
She thought that as long as Su Ziqing left, everything would be fine.
"Enough." Su Tianming was annoyed by her crying. "If you had half her ability, I wouldn't be so annoyed right now."
Su Xiaoman, who was always pampered, was stunned when she heard this.
Her dad now thinks she's incompetent? He used to always praise her for being capable and smart...
"You're about the same age as her. Your grandfather left her a third of his inheritance. What about you?"
Su Xiaoman: "..."
"She managed to seduce someone from the Gong family, what about you?"
Su Xiaoman: "..." She listened to her father's words full of disdain and couldn't believe it.
"Alright, go home." Su Tianming was extremely annoyed. Now he needed to find a way to secure his position.
If Su Tianhao intends to compete for the chairman's position, it will be very disadvantageous for him.
……………………
Su Ziqing was going back to her apartment to get her things, and Gong Chengjue escorted her home. However, she did not expect to run into Ou Shang at her doorstep.
Su Ziqing looked at the man sitting on the ground, his clothes were wrinkled and his hair was messy. She didn't know how long he had been there.
Upon hearing the elevator, Ou Shang immediately woke up. Seeing Su Ziqing and then Gong Chengjue beside her, Ou Shang was no longer the spirited person she had been before.
"Ziqing, you, you're back." His tone was weak and lacked any confidence.
Su Ziqing looked at him calmly, "What are you doing here?"
Gong Chengjue looked down at him with an attitude of looking down.
Ou Shang stepped forward, wanting to touch Gong Chengjue, but then took a step back in fear. "Mr. Gong, please be merciful."
Gong Chengjue remained unmoved.
Ou Shang then looked at Su Ziqing, "Ziqing, please, please beg Mr. Gong for me, for the sake of our past acquaintance."
Su Ziqing looked at Gong Chengjue. What had he done?
Didn't he say he didn't do anything?
Gong Chengjue looked completely at ease; he hadn't done anything, but most people in this world are driven by self-interest and avoidance of harm.
Therefore, he cannot control what others do out of consideration for him.
