Su Ziqing hadn't received a call from Gong Chengjue for several days, and she couldn't even contact Luo Jinhan. It was as if he had suddenly disappeared, which made her uneasy.
Unfortunately, no clue could be found online.
Considering the complicated situation of the Gong family, I wonder if he's been placed under house arrest?
With the branch office in the capital city about to open, Su Ziqing decided to make a trip there.
…………………………
Beijing Capital International Airport
Su Ziqing pulled her suitcase out of the airport, where the car waiting to pick her up was already waiting on the road outside.
"Miss Su."
Su Ziqing handed the suitcase to her and was about to get into the car when her eyes suddenly caught sight of a car not far away.
What caught her eye wasn't the car, but the person about to get in...
"Senior brother?" Su Ziqing blurted out before she could think, then covered her mouth with her hand.
She kept her voice down, hoping the other person wouldn't hear.
Just as she was about to quickly get into the car, the other party did not do as she wished...
Lu Linghong turned his head and saw Su Ziqing, who looked guilty and was trying to dart into the car like a rabbit.
He walked towards her.
Su Ziqing muttered to herself, "I didn't hear you, I didn't hear you. Serves you right for being so foul-mouthed."
She never expected to run into Lu Linghong by such a coincidence!
Just as she was about to get into the car, she heard Lu Linghong's cold voice behind her, "Since you're so touched to see me, why act like Little Red Riding Hood seeing a wolf?"
Moved to see him? Not at all! She was just too surprised and couldn't control herself...
Oh no, she regrets it, is that alright?
Su Ziqing rubbed her face, then flashed a sweet smile, turned to look at Lu Linghong, and said, "Senior Brother~~"
Lu Linghong has a face with distinct features and a cold, hard expression. At this moment, her expression is also frighteningly cold.
"Senior brother, what are you doing here?" Su Ziqing pretended not to see his cold face.
Lu Linghong sneered, "I just got off the plane, I'm not here, where should I be?"
"Hehe~" Su Ziqing squeezed out a few teeth, maintaining a smile, "Senior brother, it's been so long since I've seen you, you've gotten even more handsome~"
Lu Linghong's face remained cold, but there was a hint of a crack in it. He stepped forward, reached out and rubbed her head. "Get in the car."
Su Ziqing was furious but dared not speak out; this was an airport!
Also, she has long hair. Rubbing it like that will cause it to get tangled, okay? Does he want her to show up in public with a crazy woman's hairstyle?
"I'm already in the car," she said, blinking innocently.
Lu Linghong grabbed her by the back of her collar and pulled her out of the car like an eagle snatching a chick. "Get in my car."
Su Ziqing coughed lightly, "Senior brother, if you keep acting like this, I'll lose all my composure!" Her aloofness was evident!
Lu Linghong looked at the person still standing to the side and said, "Give me the luggage."
"Hey, senior brother, um, I have important business to attend to in the capital, please don't..."
However, the protests were ineffective.
In the end, Su Ziqing was still dragged into Lu Linghong's car.
Su Ziqing silently shed tears. "Serves you right for being so sharp-tongued! Meeting an old friend in a foreign land is something that should never happen to me!"
Lu Linghong glanced at her and said, "You've lost weight."
"I'm on a diet," Su Ziqing said irritably.
Lu Linghong raised his hand again to ruffle her hair, but she rolled her eyes at him.
"Are you angry?" he asked again.
"I wouldn't dare," she said sullenly.
"I think you're incredibly bold. What wouldn't you dare to do?" Lu Linghong sneered.
Su Ziqing pouted. Her sudden return to China was indeed unexpected, and then so many things happened, and she had to endure it all by herself.
Seeing her silent and aggrieved expression, Lu Linghong sighed, "You've changed your phone number, are you not planning to contact us, or what?"
Su Ziqing looked up pitifully, "No, my phone fell into the water when I got back to China..."
"So you don't even go online?" he sneered.
Okay, she's not going to explain anymore.
Lu Linghong already knew what had happened to her family, but to his surprise, the matter had already been resolved by then. The speed of the resolution surprised him.
"What are you doing in the capital?" he asked.
“...Play.” she said seriously.
"Su Ziqing, I'll give you one more chance to tell the truth." He glared at her.
"It's just for fun, and by the way... to check on the work progress." And maybe learn a bit about business management or something.
"Oh, you can work too?" Lu Linghong teased her, but his dark eyes held a hint of worry.
This girl kept everything from him and avoided him, as if she was afraid of troubling him, creating an invisible wall between them.
“A lot has happened recently.” Su Ziqing hummed in agreement. “A lot.”
Suddenly, her eyes reddened.
These days have been too depressing. She pretends to be strong on the surface, but she only shed tears once in the hospital in front of Gong Chengjue.
She suddenly burst into tears and threw herself into Lu Linghong's arms like a child, "Senior brother, my grandfather is gone."
Lu Linghong patted her on the back. "I know."
"The Su family still bullied me, boohoo." Su Ziqing sniffed, "But now they've received the punishment they deserved."
Lu Linghong found this to be the strangest thing, coupled with the rumors he had heard...
"Ziqing is amazing." He suppressed his doubts and put his arm around her shoulder, tightening his grip slightly.
Su Ziqing felt much better and sat up straight. "Mm."
"How did you bring them down? I heard Su Tianming is going to jail?" Lu Linghong looked at her and asked seriously.
"How did you know, senior brother?" Su Ziqing was even more curious now. City A wasn't a big city, so how did something that happened there get reported overseas?
"I heard it from a friend," Lu Linghong said casually.
"Senior brother, I'm getting engaged," Su Ziqing said suddenly, looking at Lu Linghong.
Upon hearing this news, Lu Linghong's eyes narrowed slightly, his face turning cold. "What did you say?"
"I was thinking of sending you invitations once the engagement ceremony was finalized," Su Ziqing said with a smile.
"With whom?" Although he had guessed who it might be, Lu Linghong just couldn't believe it was true!
“You should know that person too.” Yes, the 'bad things' she had heard about Gong Chengjue before were told to her by Lu Linghong.
Lu Linghong snorted coldly; he didn't want to know.
But he had just asked again, so it was too late for him to tell her to shut up now. Su Ziqing had already given the answer, "Gong Chengjue~"
Even though he didn't want to hear it, he still heard those three words. Lu Linghong really wanted to shut her up.
The atmosphere inside the car instantly plummeted to freezing point.
Su Ziqing glanced at him furtively; well, his expression was really unpleasant.
She silently turned to look at the scenery outside the window...
Lu Linghong's cold voice rang in her ears, "I remember telling you how dangerous Gong Chengjue is!"
