This is a very big deal...
She looked at him, then hesitated before saying, "It seems that being expelled from a large family is a very serious matter, isn't it?"
This is not just a matter of money, but a matter of a person's social status.
The Su family might be considered prominent in City A, but in the capital, they'd be on the very edge. The Gong family, on the other hand, is an extraordinary family even in the capital. To be expelled from a family like that…
It must feel worse than death, right?
Gong Chengjue nodded. "Yes, it's a big deal, so we've been looking for evidence to expel him."
Before Su Ziqing could ask, he confessed, "One time is not enough; it has to be done again and again without any limits."
One blow won't kill him.
He looked at Su Ziqing and said, "Expel them from the Gong family, and then imprison them."
Su Ziqing nodded knowingly, "But aren't you just becoming bait?"
She understood it was one thing, but watching him become bait was quite another.
Gong Chengjue didn't think he was bait, after all, his feud with Gong Changming was nothing new.
The reason for expelling Gong Changming from the Gong family was not because of any personal harm he caused to the family, but because he actually tarnished the family's reputation.
Gong Chengjue was actually very clear about this.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have said they needed to find a lot of evidence.
"Also, expelling someone from the family seems very heartless, doesn't it?" Su Ziqing looked at him. "Won't that have a bad impact on you?"
"My uncle will handle this," he said calmly.
Su Ziqing realized, "Oh right, the current head of the family is your uncle, then..." She suddenly thought of something, "Isn't what your uncle is doing very unpopular with the family?"
Gong Chengjue: "..."
"He's only been the head of the family for a short time. If he were to expel people from the family like this..." Su Ziqing felt she didn't dare to speculate any further.
Gong Chengjue calmly told her, "He did the right thing for the sake of the family."
Knowing that they came from powerful families, Su Ziqing didn't feel relieved upon hearing this. Instead, she looked at Gong Chengjue and said, "What if you have to marry into a powerful family in the future for the sake of your own family..."
“This won’t happen,” he told her confidently. “I made that clear when Grandpa was alive.”
He can compromise on anything, except marriage, which is non-negotiable.
“And…” He looked at her, hesitating to speak.
Su Ziqing blinked. "And what?"
"You forgot? Grandpa promised us." He automatically mumbled the word "marriage."
Su Ziqing certainly understood what he didn't say afterward, but she pretended not to understand and instead muttered, "I think you're also very willing to sacrifice for the family."
Hmph.
Gong Chengjue thought it would be better to remain silent?
So Sheng Yuanshuo was right, women really are hard to please.
It felt like we were very close to the dawn, but then a single sentence brought back a sense of going back to square one.
Su Ziqing didn't say anything more. It wasn't that she liked to nitpick; she just blurted it out on a whim.
"I want to go to the hospital," she suddenly said.
"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?" He thought she was dizzy or something.
Su Ziqing shook her head. "I just suddenly wanted to go see Su Xiaoman."
Gong Chengjue gave her a deep look. "You pity her?"
"You think I would sympathize with her?" Having nearly been poisoned to the point of infertility, how could she possibly sympathize with Su Xiaoman?
Is that possible?
It was simply because it was still early, and she felt she could go to the hospital to get checked out.
"No," Gong Chengjue said.
Although he wanted to know why she was going to the hospital, he still agreed.
When the car arrived at the hospital, Gong Chengjue was refused entry by Su Ziqing before he could even get out. "Wait for me in the car. I'll be right back down."
Gong Chengjue: "...I can wait in the corridor."
“I want you to wait for me in the car,” she said earnestly, looking into his eyes.
Gong Chengjue could only nod, "Bring bodyguards."
"Um."
Su Ziqing got out of the car with only one bodyguard.
At this time, the hospital had already notified visiting family members to leave, so the inpatient department was very quiet.
Su Ziqing walked towards Su Xiaoman's ward. Su Xiaoman was quite pitiful; she couldn't even stay in a VIP ward and could only stay in a regular single room.
Su Ziqing looked at the ward where the lights were still on and suddenly stopped in her tracks.
It seems pointless to mock her at this point.
As things stand, her fate isn't so bad.
She suddenly lost the desire to 'see' Su Xiaoman and turned to leave, but then she suddenly heard the sound of something falling to the ground inside.
Then came the sound of a bottle breaking on the ground. Almost instinctively, Su Ziqing walked quickly towards the ward.
The ward door opened, revealing Su Xiaoman, dressed in a hospital gown, struggling with a woman wearing a mask. No, it should be said that Su Xiaoman's strong will to live was driving her to struggle.
The bodyguard reacted quickly and stepped forward to stop him.
The woman was wearing a baseball cap in the middle of summer, and her face was mostly covered by a large mask.
As soon as the bodyguard approached, the woman released the pillow in her hand. After regaining her breath, Su Xiaoman returned from the brink of death and was terrified.
Upon seeing Su Ziqing, she could only point at the woman with her finger, but she couldn't utter a single word for the time being.
Su Ziqing understood her meaning: she wanted the bodyguards to grab the woman.
Su Ziqing was wearing high heels, which made it inconvenient for her to make a move. In that moment of hesitation, the woman used a feint, pretending to hurt Su Ziqing, which made the bodyguard hesitate, and then she successfully escaped.
"Miss Su, be careful." The bodyguard's heart was in his throat. Su Ziqing absolutely couldn't be hurt.
Su Ziqing watched the figure quickly disappear, that fleeting glimpse just now…
Although it was just a glance, Su Ziqing was certain that the woman was the same woman from N City.
She's the woman in the photo on Sheng Yuanshuo's phone during dinner.
Suddenly remembering something, Su Ziqing quickly took out her phone and called Gong Chengjue, "Chengjue, that woman has appeared."
Su Xiaoman gasped for breath. She hadn't expected to encounter something like this in the hospital room. She was so close to dying.
If Su Ziqing hadn't arrived just in time...
"Miss Su, are you alright?" The bodyguard was only concerned about Su Ziqing. He felt that it was very unsafe here and hoped that Su Ziqing could leave immediately.
"I'm fine." Su Ziqing walked towards Su Xiaoman and glanced at the broken medicine bottle on the ground.
The hospital nurses arrived by then. "What happened?"
Su Xiaoman finally calmed down and yelled at the nurse, "What happened? How does your hospital operate? Are nurses dead? You let just anyone in?"
