“Naive,” he uttered.
Just from those two words, Su Ziqing felt that the Gong family's influence was far deeper than she could have imagined.
She looked at Gong Chengjue in front of her. No matter how powerful he was outside, he probably didn't have a good life in the Gong family. She couldn't help but hug his arm. She wanted to say something to comfort him, but she couldn't say a word.
He used the word "naive," presumably indicating he had made some effort. But the result was a slap in the face, leading him to ultimately use that word to summarize his experience.
"Those mercenaries..." She had kept this matter to herself for a long time.
Gong Chengjue gazed out the car window, lost in thought.
Su Ziqing gently shook his arm. "If you don't want to talk about it, then don't."
"It's not that I don't want to say it, it's that I don't know how to say it." Gong Chengjue came back to his senses and smiled faintly at her.
How can he still laugh?
"What's the meaning?"
“I’m not sure whose people I’m working for either,” Gong Chengjue said calmly. “We’ll probably find out the real answer when we get back to the capital in a few days.”
There are many people who wish he didn't exist.
"Are you going back to the capital?" Su Ziqing asked immediately upon hearing this.
Gong Chengjue looked at her with amusement. "Hmm? You don't want me to go back to the capital?"
Su Ziqing: "..." She hadn't considered him returning to the capital yet.
However, he is a member of the Gong family, and his home base is in the capital. He is only staying in City A temporarily. This temporary stay could be as short as a few months or as long as no more than a year.
Seeing that she didn't speak, Gong Chengjue lifted her chin, his deep eyes fixed on hers. "Hmm?"
Su Ziqing slapped away his hand that was lifting her chin. "I don't know." She didn't deny it immediately, but gave such a vague answer.
She genuinely didn't know, and she didn't know why she couldn't directly answer no.
But Gong Chengjue felt that this answer was already good.
The conversation suddenly stopped, and neither of them spoke again, both silently looking out the car window.

Su family
Madam Su was feigning illness in order to delay and alleviate the conflict between the two brothers, Su Tianming and Su Tianhao.
However, no one expected that this feigned illness would turn into a real illness, and a serious one at that...
Beside the fountain in the garden, Su Tianming looked at Su Tianhao with a stern face, "Have you made enough of a scene? Mom is sick now."
Su Tianhao found it utterly ridiculous. "What am I making a fuss about? Big brother, aren't you the one making a fuss?"
They used every means, both overt and covert, to obstruct the execution of the will. They caused trouble from outsiders, and within the company, they tried to win over anyone they could, and for those they couldn't, they tried to transfer them out.
However, even if we do this, it will be difficult to change the current situation.
"Since you're so filial, you should resign from your job and stay home to take care of Mom," Su Tianhao said sarcastically.
These days, he had seen enough of the old lady's favoritism and had given up hope.
If he didn't have the chance to make a splash, he might have just accepted it, but now that the opportunity is in front of him, he will absolutely not let it go, even if it means turning against Su Tianming.
"Su Tianhao!!" Su Tianming's face turned ashen with anger. "You just want to keep fighting, don't you?"
“That’s right!” Su Tianhao said calmly, “The next shareholders’ meeting and board meeting will produce the results.”
"Do you think Su Ziqing can help you?" Su Tianming sneered.
"Brother, do you think it's impossible?" Su Tianhao asked with a faint smile.
Suddenly, both of their phones rang.
The two exchanged a glance, then both turned to answer their phones.
Both of them received the same message; however, the same message was highly beneficial to Su Tianhao, but a catastrophic disaster for Su Tianming.
It's unclear who leaked the news, but suddenly social media was buzzing with gossip about the property dispute within the wealthy Su family.
This involves the old man's sudden death, and some people say that the old man's death was not simple.
Of course, these are just vague words used in self-media; being too specific could lead to legal trouble.
The definite news that Su Tianhao has received is that there is another reason for the old man's sudden death, and that reason is Su Tianming.
Su Tianhao was overjoyed at first, but a second later he adjusted his expression, turned around angrily, and looked at Su Tianming.
Su Tianming had already hung up the phone, his face stiff, and he was about to leave.
"Stop!" Su Tianhao shouted at him.
Su Tianming frowned. "What kind of tone is that?"
"How much do you know about the old man's death?" Su Tianhao was the last to return when the old man passed away.
Su Tianming glared at him, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
Su Tianhao made an angry and sad expression, "You, did you do something to the old man?"
"Su Tianhao, are you crazy?" Su Tianming's face was troubled, but his heart tightened. The matter was handled so secretly and decisively that it was impossible for it to be leaked.
"Then dare you swear to God that you didn't do anything to the old man!" Su Tianhao stared intently at Su Tianming.
That's outrageous! The old man is their father!
"I can't be bothered with you." Su Tianming didn't have time to argue with him.
Su Tianhao ran up and grabbed him, but Su Tianming angrily broke free, shouting, "Enough, Su Tianhao!"
"The old lady vomited blood." Su Tianming's wife, Madam Su, walked over with hurried steps, seemingly still stunned after their argument.
Su Tianming broke free of his grip and ran into the house.
Su Tianhao stood there for a while before running off.

Hospital
Su Ziqing's hand was almost healed, but Gong Chengjue still wanted her to apply medicine. Su Ziqing thought it was a bit far from Qin Yuheng's clinic, so she went to the nearest hospital. After applying the medicine, the two walked out of the hospital gate and encountered the Su family's car.
She stepped aside slightly.
The doctors and nurses at the hospital, who had received the call earlier, rushed out. Su Tianming carried Madam Su onto a stretcher and sent her to the emergency room.
Su Ziqing frowned slightly when she saw a small bloodstain on Old Madam Su's clothes.
"Su Ziqing?" Madam Su was stunned when she saw Su Ziqing, then immediately reacted and stepped forward to hit Su Ziqing, "It's all your fault, you jinx, you're the one who ruined Xiaoman."
Luo Jinhan stopped Madam Su with one hand. Are all the people in the Su family sick? Do they all have the disease of wanting to slap someone whenever they are unhappy?
Su Ziqing stared at her coldly, "It's ridiculous. Instead of blaming Ou Shang, the one who caused this, and demanding an explanation from the Ou family, you're throwing this mud at me? Do you think I'm that easy to bully?"
Madam Su forcefully pulled her hand away from Luo Jinhan's grasp, cursing, "You still dare to argue! If you hadn't returned to the country, our Su family wouldn't have suffered one misfortune after another. It's all your fault, you jinx, you've ruined our whole family."
