"I don't just want you to believe in my abilities; I want you to believe that I'm not someone who listens to others, and that I have the ability and the right to disobey you." Do you understand?
Do we really have to be so stubborn?
That would be a complete falling out, which would be quite unpleasant, and it would be awkward to see each other again in the future.
Gong Changfan coughed lightly, somewhat awkwardly. Should he think that Su Ziqing was already giving him face by negotiating?
After all, what she had his wife convey yesterday was that if he didn't come and the child was lost, it would be his responsibility.
But to just let her go like that...
“Miss Su, how about this: you continue to stay here in bed to rest and prepare for childbirth. I will only leave two bodyguards to protect you; we won't come to the side. Is that alright?”
Su Ziqing chuckled twice. "Mr. Gong, is there any difference?"
“You can’t leave like this. Aren’t you listening to the doctor?” Gong Changfan felt that something was different. Since they weren’t here, it meant that she had voluntarily chosen to be hospitalized.
"Do you think I'm in the mood to be hospitalized right now?" She knew, of course, that she should be resting in bed to protect her pregnancy, but she couldn't.
Gong Changfan frowned. "I promise you, whatever the situation is with Chengjue, you'll know as much as you know."
"I'm sorry, I don't trust you," Su Ziqing said bluntly.
Gong Changfan: "..." What kind of woman did Gong Chengjue find?! And, how did the old man agree to it back then? He really favors her to an extreme.
“Alright, let’s compromise then. I’ll send two bodyguards to protect you at all times.” Gong Changfan made his final concession, and before Su Ziqing could refuse, he said very seriously, “Miss Su, it is my responsibility to protect you…”
Seeing that Gong Changfan's attitude was tough, this was probably his last line of defense. As for bodyguards, anyway, the ones she could hire from outside were indeed not as good as those from the Gong family.
Although he did this, it's possible he was also monitoring her movements...
However, Su Ziqing still agreed, "Then please handle the discharge procedures." With that, she got out of bed, grabbed her clothes, and went straight to the bathroom to change.
Gong Changfan opened his mouth, but in the end, he couldn't say anything.
To be honest, he doesn't like women who aren't gentle at all!
Gu Mingyin waited impatiently outside. What were they talking about inside for so long?
The door opened, and Su Ziqing, who had changed out of her hospital gown, was there. She was slightly taken aback. "Ziqing, are you being discharged?"
Su Ziqing knew she should be lying down at this time, but...
She couldn't lie there; she had to find Gong Chengjue.
Gong Changfan, she really doesn't trust him.
It's not that Gong Changfan is a bad person, but rather, after listening to Gu Mingyin's words, she knew that as the head of the family, Gong Changfan would not only consider one person, but the entire family.
Gong Chengjue had also mentioned this sense of family responsibility to her before.
She believed that since the old man had appointed Gong Changfan as the head of the family, Gong Changfan possessed the necessary sense of responsibility.
Not to mention that even Gong Chengkun, who had previously been at odds with Gong Chengjue, now, for the sake of his family, well, and of course for himself, had committed suicide to infiltrate the territory of L country to find Gong Chengjue.
As for Gong Changfan, he would definitely have some concerns when making any decisions for the sake of his family, and no one knows whether his concerns and hesitations will become Gong Chengjue's death warrant. She cannot gamble on that.
“Yes,” Su Ziqing replied to Gu Mingyin.
She had already arranged for someone from the Beijing branch to pick her up.
"I'll have someone arrange a car for you," Gong Changfan said.
"No need, my people have already driven downstairs." Su Ziqing looked at Gong Changfan, "Mr. Gong, I hope you keep your word."
I just left my phone number, so I really need to keep her informed of any progress so she doesn't just pretend I never said it once she leaves the hospital.
Gong Changfan: "..." He is a dignified family head, no, even for the sake of his elders, he shouldn't go back on his word, right?
Furthermore, her people are already waiting downstairs at this time, which means that regardless of whether the negotiations go well or not, she will ultimately be the one to leave.
Should he be thankful that he didn't let her leave with a rigid attitude?
He felt that Su Ziqing was a bit difficult to control...
Su Ziqing walked out, and Gu Mingyin followed her, saying very frankly, "Ziqing, I have a few more words to say to you."
Su Ziqing hummed in agreement.
Outside the door, the two bodyguards that Gong Changfan had left for Su Ziqing followed behind her.
Gu Mingyin was not surprised to see this scene.
Since Su Ziqing herself didn't say anything, they must have already reached an agreement in the ward.
Upon entering the elevator, Gu Mingyin didn't mince words and said directly, "Ziqing, if you have any news about Chengjue and Chengkun, please let me know as soon as possible."
"Thank you," Gu Mingyin said again.
Su Ziqing did not agree to her request, but remained silent.
However, since not refusing meant there was a possibility, Gu Mingyin didn't insist.
"Mrs. Gong." After entering the elevator, Su Ziqing did not press the button. After Gu Mingyin finished speaking, she said, "I still need to go see my friend."
Gu Mingyin knew that Lu Linghong was also in this hospital, and that his condition was much worse than Su Ziqing's.
Having said what she needed to say, she stepped out of the elevator.
Su Ziqing pressed the close button.
Gong Changfan walked towards Gu Mingyin with a rather unpleasant expression. "Are you happy now?"
Gu Mingyin found his sudden change of attitude somewhat ridiculous and looked at him, "What about me? I didn't do anything."
“You did nothing, but you said things you shouldn’t have.” Gong Changfan’s face turned slightly cold.
Gu Mingyin laughed, "Changfan, I am your elder sister-in-law, and your attitude now... Oh, right, you are the head of the family, I have offended you."
Gong Changfan's expression darkened further.
"When I was in charge of the household, of course I did my job well. But now? Did I say anything I shouldn't have to my future daughter-in-law?"
Gu Mingyin gave a slight twitch of her lips. "I was just talking about everyday things as a mother."
Gong Changfan looked at her and said, "You haven't considered the consequences of your actions from the perspective of the Gong family at all!"
"Think from the Gong family's perspective? Isn't this something that you, as the head of the family and the mistress, should be thinking about? Why should a widow like me think so much? You might even think I'm meddling and that I still want to control the Gong family." Gu Mingyin finished speaking and looked at Gong Changfan with a rather innocent expression.
Gong Changfan stepped into the elevator and said no more, as if saying another word would anger him.
…………………
Lu Linghong has not woken up yet. It has been a day and a night. His vital signs have stabilized, but as long as he has not woken up, it is still very worrying.
Yesterday, Su Ziqing didn't know the car accident wasn't an accident, and her attitude towards Lu Beibei wasn't very good. Today, she wants to apologize to the Lu family.
She was indeed the one who caused this.
But when Lu Beibei saw her...
