Otherwise, the media would definitely report on it extensively, and social media would speculate about all sorts of power struggles and intrigues within wealthy families, listing examples of first, second, and third wives...
They were born to the same parents, but they insist on treating them like they were from a separate family and settling scores later!
After the old man finished speaking, he left, leaving only Gong Chengjue, Gong Changzhou, and Gu Mingyin in the living room.
Gong Chengjue scoffed, "As you wish?" and then strode away from the clouds.
This angered Gong Changzhou so much that his face turned ashen.
Gu Mingyin looked at Gong Changzhou but said nothing.

Su Ziqing had just finished showering, wrapped in a bath towel, her long, dried hair cascading down her back. She poured herself a glass of lemonade, but before she could even take a sip, she heard the front door open.
It's unlikely that a thief broke in; the security system here is excellent. She guessed it was Gong Chengjue, but she didn't expect him to come so late.
It's already... 1 a.m.
Gong Chengjue opened the door and saw her. She was wrapped in a pink bath towel, barefoot on the floor, her exposed collarbones sexy and attractive.
With the heating on at home, she certainly wouldn't catch a cold dressed like that.
But how could she have just finished showering so late?
Su Ziqing smelled alcohol. "You've been drinking?"
I don't know how much he drank, he didn't show it on his face. But there are several meters from the hall to the entrance, and I could smell alcohol there, so he must have drunk quite a bit.
Didn't he go back to the Gong family? How come...
Gong Chengjue took off his clothes. "Run the water. I want to take a bath."
“…Oh, okay.” She handed him her lemonade, but upon closer inspection, she noticed that he smelled even stronger of alcohol.
"Have a glass of water first."
However, he took the water glass, set it aside, and directly hugged her and kissed... oh, no, he kissed her.
Su Ziqing frowned; she hated this kind of drunkenness.
But it seems like something happened to him?
"Chengjue, you..." She had barely opened her mouth when he forcefully abducted her.
As if filling the void in his heart, Gong Chengjue took a long time to let go of Su Ziqing.
"What happened?" He seemed a little off.
"Nothing?" He pinched her cheek. "Help me put the water down."
There was no rush to ask; Su Ziqing went to the bathroom to run the water.
After taking a shower, Gong Chengjue was fully awake. His short, choppy hair was half-dry and slightly messy.
He walked towards Su Ziqing, who was lying on the bed, wearing a bathrobe.
Su Ziqing was still sleepy. Hearing the sound, she half-opened her eyelids and asked, "Are you done washing?"
Gong Chengjue hummed in agreement. "Tired? Go to sleep first." It was already two o'clock.
Su Ziqing wanted to ask him what had happened, but she was too sleepy and just hummed in response.
Seeing that she had fallen asleep in no time, Gong Chengjue smiled, then got into bed and put his arm around her to sleep.
I didn't expect to feel sleepy, but I fell asleep very quickly while holding her.
The next day, Su Ziqing woke up to the sound of her alarm clock. After turning it off, she found that no one was beside her.
Well……
Could it be that she was dreaming last night? That's impossible.
But it's only seven o'clock!
And was she sleeping so soundly that she didn't even know that Gong Chengjue had gotten up and left?
As she washed up, she wondered, "Could he have gone back to the company so early in the morning?"
However, after changing his clothes and coming out, he found that Gong Chengjue had returned with breakfast!
Su Ziqing was quite surprised to see the breakfast on the table.
"Did you go buy breakfast?" Doesn't he think the food outside isn't clean?
Gong Chengjue hummed in agreement. He had come alone last night, and no one knew he had come to her place.
I woke up early in the morning and there was nothing to eat, so of course I had to go downstairs to buy something. Is there a problem with that?
"I thought you... had left." She paused, swallowing back what she really wanted to say.
It's quite surprising to see the usually aloof Mr. Gong being so down-to-earth.
"Come and eat." Gong Chengjue pulled out a table.
Su Ziqing sat down to eat with him. He seemed preoccupied last night, but now he seemed to be fine.
It must be said that his ability to adjust himself is really strong.
Su Ziqing's phone suddenly beeped with a WeChat notification. She looked at the lit screen, which displayed Lu Linghong's name...
She casually ate her breakfast, then picked up her phone and replied to Lu Linghong's WeChat message.
Lu Linghong had already arranged a meeting with Su Enen for her, and sent over the confirmed time and place.
Su Ziqing sent a smiling thank-you emoji.
Gong Chengjue suddenly lost his appetite for the breakfast in his hand, stood up, picked up his coat, put it on, and left.
Well……
Su Ziqing didn't even realize what was wrong with him.
She hurriedly changed her shoes, grabbed her bag, and went downstairs to chase after him, calling out, "Chengjue, Gong Chengjue?!"
Luo Jinhan's car arrived just in time. He got out and opened the door for Gong Chengjue, only to see Su Ziqing running after him.
Did you have a fight?
Gong Chengjue turned around calmly. "What is it?"
His expression seemed to say, "I'm fine, I'm busy, don't bother me if you have nothing to do," leaving Su Ziqing speechless. In the end, she simply shook her head and said, "It's nothing, you can go ahead and get busy."
And Gong Chengjue really did leave...
Su Ziqing pouted, not knowing what was wrong with him, his mood changing as easily as turning the pages of a book.
……………………
Inside the car, Luo Jinhan felt as if the atmosphere had dropped to freezing point. He tried to keep his breathing light to avoid becoming the target of everyone's anger.
"How badly is Gong Chengkun injured?" Gong Chengjue suddenly asked.
“Mr. Gong, after the incident in Las Vegas, Young Master Gong was involved in a car accident on the way... so it's a bit serious.” As his special assistant, Luo Jinhan had, of course, investigated everything.
Gong Chengjue remained silent.
“Mr. Gong,” Luo Jinhan reminded him, “Young Master Gong is pushing all the blame onto you.”
"Hmm." Not only were they pushing the blame onto him, they were practically trying to smear him.
"Did you explain it to the old man?" There was no point in explaining it to Gong Changzhou; he had always liked Gong Chengkun.
The only way to prevent the old man from misunderstanding, and for the sake of the family's reputation, was for Mr. Gong to suppress the matter that Gong Chengkun had committed.
"Gong Chengkun has joined the board of directors of Xinji." Gong Chengjue's voice was still cold.
Upon hearing this, Luo Jinhan felt completely baffled by Gong Chengjue's thoughts. "Mr. Gong, why?"
Did they not explain it to the old man? Why did Gong Chengkun, who should have been punished, get into the board of directors?
Gong Chengjue looked out the car window. "Grandpa has his own plans."
Luo Jinhan stopped speaking.
It seems the old man wasn't truly so stubborn.
………………………
Su Ziqing arrived at the golf course that Lu Linghong had arranged, carrying a beautifully wrapped gift.
The weather is nice today, and the temperature is warm enough for a round of golf.
Is this a convenient place to discuss business?
