Su Ziqing thought for a moment, then looked at Gu Mingyin, "Does no one in the Gong family object to me being with Chengjue?"
Hearing this, Gu Mingyin laughed, "Now, who in the Gong family dares to object? Not to mention, your marriage to Chengjue was agreed to by the old man before he passed away."
Su Ziqing: "..." It seems to be like this.
"Ziqing, your engagement with Chengjue has been fraught with difficulties. Why don't you just agree?" Gu Mingyin's enthusiasm was certainly not without reason.
Gong Chengjue needs to settle down and start a family eventually.
Settling down and starting a family are important priorities. If Gong Chengjue settles down sooner, the position of family head should be his sooner, right?
Gong Chengkun has been quite flexible lately. With his older brother becoming the head of the family, things will be easier for him, won't they?
So even though Su Ziqing exuded a distant aura, Gu Mingyin still clung to her warmly.
Gu Mingyin wanted to say something more, such as how deeply Gong Chengjue loved her, but before she could finish, Su Ziqing had already agreed, "Oh, okay."
Gu Mingyin paused for a moment, then smiled, "Then I'll make the arrangements now. Oh, by the way, the engagement date is in two weeks."
"What? Two weeks later? Is it really necessary to rush this much?"
"Are you worried it's too rushed? No, it's not. I've been planning your engagement ceremony all along," Gu Mingyin said with a smile.
Su Ziqing: "..." She was a little worried about her future life. This Gu Mingyin was really flexible and adaptable.
"Then you should rest a bit more. I'll go and finalize it now."
……………………
Gong Chengjue was attending a family meeting.
Gong Changming thought that Gong Chengjue's presence abroad would ensure their safety? However, during their flight, the Gong family found and safely rescued Su Ziqing!
The flight turned around in time and finally landed back at the airport in Beijing.
Gong Changming was taken away by the police amidst a barrage of curses.
Now, the Gong family is holding a family meeting to discuss this matter.
Gong Changfan had already made preparations, taking on all the responsibilities himself and requesting to step down due to insufficient ability.
"I object," Gong Chengjue was the first to speak, raising his voice in opposition.
Gong Changfan looked at Gong Chengjue, his face serious, "Chengjue..."
"I also object," Gong Changhong was the second to object.
Gong Chengjue had already spoken with him privately and persuaded him, so he opposed Gong Changfan's current decision.
Gong Changfan did not expect that at the crucial moment, both Gong Chengjue and Gong Changhong would object.
Hey, what happened to our agreement to be on the same side?
He's already completed his task as the interim head of the family; he can stop now!
While inwardly raging, Gong Changfan maintained a perfectly serious expression. "Gong Changming's lesson serves as a reminder that an incompetent family head can destabilize a clan. I..."
“Everyone makes mistakes and has shortcomings. Currently, only you in the Gong family are capable of taking on the position of family head,” Gong Chengjue retorted just as earnestly.
He's sorry, but he doesn't want to be the head of the family for the time being. He wants to enjoy some time alone with his Ziqing and decide to set a wedding date as soon as possible after the engagement.
Gong Changfan: "...During my tenure as head of the family, I expelled two members of the Gong family in a short period of time, which has never happened before among the previous heads of the family. I am not to blame."
“They were the ones who made the mistake. As for everyone present who ultimately agreed to expel them, Uncle, you don’t need to feel guilty,” Gong Chengjue reassured him.
Then they went on and on, praising Gong Changfan. Those who hadn't noticed so many of Gong Changfan's good qualities before now thought, "Hmm, he seems to have done a pretty good job."
Gong Changfan: "..." Hey, what he wants isn't comfort, it's agreement!
He looked at Gong Chengjue seriously.
Gong Chengjue pretended not to have received his warning.
He then looked at Gong Changhong seriously, and Gong Changhong withstood the pressure and indicated that he did not understand anything.
Gong Changfan: "..." He felt as if he had been 'betrayed' by the two of them.
The thought of still sitting in the position of head of the household, busy like a spinning top every day, made him want to escape immediately.
What was supposed to be a meeting for self-reflection and resignation turned into everyone showering him with compliments.
The final result is... Gong Changfan will still be the head of the family, yeah, that's it.
Gong Chengjue raised his hand to check the time. He had promised to be back soon, and he didn't want Su Ziqing to wait too long.
After saying goodbye to Gong Changhong, he made his escape.
Gong Changfan's hesitant expression was lost in a sea of rainbows of praise from the Gong family members: "You're amazing!" "You're incredible!" "The old man's decision was brilliant!"
Gong Changhong was about to leave when he was caught by Gong Changfan.
Gong Changhong said in a serious tone, "I know what you're going to say, but there's a family rule that only someone who has started a family can be the head of the family."
As for Gong Chengjue, he's single.
Gong Changfan shook his head, "That's not what we agreed on before."
"How could that be? We agreed that once this is over, we would hand over the reins to Chengjue as the next head of the family. But Chengjue hasn't finished yet, so the matter isn't over yet either. Don't worry, Miss Su has already agreed to the engagement," Gong Changhong said reassuringly.
As for when the wedding will be, well... we'll just have to try our best to urge them when the time comes.
Before Gong Changfan could say anything more, Gong Changhong quickly made an excuse about a phone call and fled.
A group of people from the Gong family came up to comfort him, telling him not to feel pressured, that everyone in the family was working together, and so on.
