Gong Chengjue only released Su Ziqing when she was short of breath again from kissing.
He flicked her forehead with his hand. "Take a breath, hmm?"
A slight pain came from her forehead. She raised her hand to touch it and saw him with a faint smile in his eyes. She thought he was really a good person.
No, he kissed her, then complained about her technique. She realized what he meant and glared at him, "Then don't kiss me!"
"Hmm?" He gave a dangerous look. "What did you say?"
I stood up, wanting to escape. As for the question I had just asked, whether he genuinely didn't hear me or was just pretending, it no longer mattered.
But Gong Chengjue grabbed her wrist, and she fell directly into his arms...
Their movements were so skillful that they could pinpoint the exact location.
Su Ziqing heard the thumping of his heartbeat. Was he deliberately letting her hear it?
"You believe it?" he suddenly uttered.
The ambiguous atmosphere from just moments ago vanished instantly. Su Ziqing didn't struggle to get off him; she just lay there, looking up at him.
His chin was clean-shaven, without a single stubble, and his nose was as straight as if carved by a knife...
His dark eyes held a deep coldness, and he seemed like a completely different person when he smiled and when he wasn't.
"I don't believe it." She heard her utter those two words.
Gong Chengjue smiled, like snowflakes melting in the sunlight in winter. His slender fingers gently brushed across her delicate nose. "Oh? Why?"
Su Ziqing didn't have much reason to be moved; she simply said instinctively, "Your hands don't smell of blood."
This was a reason that Gong Chengjue hadn't expected. He hummed in agreement, "Are you a puppy? Can you smell it?"
She was holding one of his hands.
Her fingers were slender and well-proportioned, even more beautiful than a pianist's hands.
“These hands are beautiful,” she said.
Gong Chengjue chuckled softly, then took her hand in his.
Su Ziqing looked at him, "Then what's your answer?" He asked her to answer, and she did, so her answer was her answer.
What is the real answer?
"No," Gong Chengjue replied earnestly.
"Isn't the capital city much more complicated than City A?" Her words were tantamount to nonsense. Looking across the whole country, where could you find a city like the capital?
Power is centralized there, and money is concentrated at the very top.
A place where stomping your feet can make the ground tremble three times.
"Actually, it's not so bad." Gong Chengjue touched her hair. In fact, after spending these days in City A, he was almost reluctant to return to the capital.
But ultimately, he still had to return to the capital.
"In the capital, is something like what happened to our family really a big deal?" She tugged at the corner of her mouth.
“What’s important to you is important to me,” he said, looking at her.
Su Ziqing: "..." Has he really never been in a relationship?
…………………………
Su Tianming was detained, but the charges against him were listed one by one, some true and some false, leaving him no way to refute them.
He never imagined that once he entered this police station, he would never be able to leave!
The sentence can range from five years to more than ten years...
"I want to see Su Ziqing, I want to see Su Ziqing."
However, Su Ziqing is not someone he can just run to see whenever he wants; the board meeting is scheduled to be held in the next day or two.
However, there is still no result regarding the handling of Madam Su's case.
The phrase "a life for a life" put immense pressure on Su Tianhao that day.
However, firstly, Madam Su is over seventy years old and not young anymore, so going to jail is unrealistic, and the Su family can't afford to lose face like that.
Secondly, since the pills were simply switched and not directly used to kill someone, it won't be easy to reach a verdict.
But it is an undeniable fact that the old man was killed by her and Su Tianming.
Su Tianhao thought about it for several days before finally coming up with a solution that would satisfy both sides!
Stop treatment.
Su Ziqing sat on the bench, looking at Su Tianhao standing to the side. Su Tianhao was wearing a black coat and seemed very proud of himself, probably because the assets were now in his name and he had a good chance of becoming the chairman.
Seeing that Su Ziqing remained silent for a long time, Su Tianhao said, "Ziqing, this is... the best solution."
His mother killed his father, and as her son, he was caught in the middle. He had to put righteousness before family, and that was all he could do.
Su Ziqing gently tapped her hand on the armrest of the bench. Wearing sunglasses, she looked up and gave Su Tianhao a deep look. "Indeed, this can be considered a life for a life."
Making someone wait for their death every day is actually more painful.
"But how can I trust you to keep your word?" Su Ziqing said calmly.
"Ziqing, do you think I'm not angry?" Su Tianhao sighed.
"Second Uncle, you misunderstood me. What I meant was that you might be soft-hearted." Su Ziqing chuckled softly. "I agree to the plan to stop treatment, but I have one more condition."
"Um?"
"We'll send her back to her hometown, and she'll have to go to her grandfather's grave every day to kowtow and offer incense," Su Ziqing said.
Su Tianhao hesitated for a moment.
"The law can't touch her, but morality can!" Su Ziqing sneered. "Second Uncle, do you think my condition is too harsh?"
Su Tianhao hesitated for only two or three seconds before agreeing, "No problem."
"I will hire someone to look after her." Of course, this only means 'looking after' her daily task of kowtowing and offering incense. As for taking care of herself? Of course, that's up to her.
"Okay," Su Tianhao agreed.
Su Ziqing gently tugged at the corner of her mouth, "Then, Second Uncle, you should go back to the company and get busy. I'd like to sit a little longer."
"Mm." Su Tianhao nodded.
"From now on, I'll leave the company in your care, Uncle," Su Ziqing said to his retreating figure.
This clearly indicates that the two have reached a consensus.
Su Tianhao smiled and said, "Don't worry, your second uncle will guarantee you a good share of the profits every year."
Su Ziqing smiled and said, "Mm."
With her shareholding, the dividends she receives in the Su family are already quite high, okay?
………………………
With Su Tianming unable to leave the detention center, and Su Tianhao finding several more pieces of evidence against him, a conviction for economic crimes would be more than enough. Knowing this, the board members naturally understood that Su Tianming had no hope of retaining the chairman's position for the time being.
In the end, Su Tianhao successfully became chairman with an overwhelming number of votes.
Su Ziqing stood on the company's rooftop, letting the wind blow through her long hair. The Great Cold had arrived; was the Beginning of Spring far behind?
"Unexpectedly, it was Mr. Su who benefited in the end. This battle among the wealthy families is finally coming to an end."
"I heard that Mr. Su is going to jail, and it was Mr. Su who sent people to find the evidence."
"As expected, the cruelest people are the closest to us."
"Haven't you watched TV dramas? Rich people don't have any family affection. In the face of money, everything can be thrown away."
Su Ziqing smiled slightly and turned to leave the rooftop.
