Hearing Su Ziqing's voice calling his name, Gong Chengjue, whose face was expressionless but whose mind was actually wandering, finally came to his senses. However, when he looked into Su Ziqing's eyes, his indifferent gaze made Su Ziqing's heart ache again.
How could he...?
How can someone be so cold-hearted and indifferent to themselves!
How could he detach himself from all the emotions he had invested in such a short time? Ha! How could he do this?!
The words he said to Old Master Gong at the Gong family home, "We're not suitable," flashed through his mind again...
Her family background wasn't a good match...
Despite the fact that he chose her over wealth, and that the old man was about to pass away, the Gong family was about to fall into chaos, and his position was under unprecedented threat, even to the point of losing what he currently possessed, he still honestly chose power, status, and wealth, but not her.
Su Ziqing felt her eyes were a little sore, but she stubbornly kept them wide open, refusing to blink.
He stared back coldly at me, saying, "Keep an eye on your current girlfriend. You know I'm not someone to mess with."
Zhou Ruoling blinked innocently. Wait, what did she say? Was it easy for her to deliberately create a topic of conversation?
Gong Chengjue's heart was breaking. He knew she wasn't the kind of girl who would act like she was going to die if she were heartbroken.
However, her ruthlessness made him feel that his deep affection was a joke.
The person who said she loved him is now... leaning on another man's chest, just moments ago chatting and laughing with a pretty boy!
"Let's go." Being able to see her so closely was enough to ease the longing he had felt for her for over a month. Gong Chengjue glanced at Zhou Ruoling and said calmly.
Zhou Ruoling held his hand, and he moved slightly, as if he wanted to pull away, but in the end he let Zhou Ruoling hold his hand, and the two turned and left like a perfect couple.
Su Ziqing, with a blank expression, took Lu Linghong's hand and turned around, saying, "Senior brother, give me a glass of water."
She felt cold all over; was the air conditioning here too strong?
You can't even cry after a breakup? Is there anyone in this world as miserable as her?
Unable to turn around in her indifference, Su Ziqing didn't see that the two young ladies who had just been in the restroom were already spreading the firsthand testimony of the parties involved among their social circles. Gong Chengjue only had two or three minutes...
Therefore, everyone's eyes turned to Gong Chengjue with a different feeling.
Zhou Ruoling even felt that someone was casting a sympathetic glance at her.
It was probably just her imagination; when she looked directly at it, she didn't see anything.
Su Enen took a moment to glance up at Su Ziqing from within the circle of wealthy heiresses.
Ha, how ironic, but that's just how realistic people are. Su Ziqing knows her status now, doesn't she?
What angered her even more was why Su Ziqing and Lu Linghong were behaving so intimately!
"Enen?" Su Enen's friend called softly, "What's wrong?"
Su Enen forced a smile, "It's nothing, I'll go say hello to the birthday person."
Miss An is not just an idol for ordinary people, but an idol for many heiresses of corporations. She can break the rules, eliminate a bunch of male obstacles, and become the person in power. Just thinking about it is exciting.
To put it bluntly, even if a heiress is pampered like a princess since childhood, who would really want to just be a princess?
Of course not, nothing is more comfortable than being a queen.
In most large corporations, the succession is usually left to the son.
Su Enen, wearing high heels, chatted with Miss An.
Miss An was able to invite so many people today not only because of her status, but also because of her character.
"Miss Su." Miss An didn't like Su Enen, but she didn't show it on her face. The Su family was no ordinary family in the capital.
Social obligations make personal preferences seem insignificant. She even sincerely praised Su Enen, saying, "You look beautiful today."
Su Enen, with a hint of arrogance, still maintained her politeness, saying, "Thank you."
"The design of your necklace is really unique." Seeing that Su Enen didn't speak up, Miss An could only try to find a topic to talk about.
I don't know what's wrong with Su Enen. She took the initiative to contact her but didn't say anything.
Suddenly, something occurred to me. Could it be because of the Gong family?
I'd heard rumors that the Su family and the Gong family seemed to be having a falling out.
But before she could guess any further, she heard Su Enen say, "Why would Miss An invite a woman like Su Ziqing to your birthday party?"
These words seemed to question Ms. An's taste in making friends.
Indeed, it's very difficult to change a person.
Miss An's heart sank slightly, but her expression remained unchanged. "Does Miss Su know Miss Su Ziqing?"
They all share the surname Su; they might have even been from the same family five hundred years ago.
Su Enen sneered, "This Su Ziqing is best at seducing people with her looks; she has no bottom line."
Miss An: "..." Does she have some misunderstanding about Su Ziqing?
Seeing the disgust on Su Enen's face, Miss An felt she didn't want to talk to her anymore. Although she thought highly of Su Enen, it was only because of the Su family.
Looking up to someone doesn't mean you have to cater to Su Enen's annoying behavior.
So he said casually, "Is that so? Fortunately, I'm not a man, so I probably don't have anything for Miss Su Ziqing to seduce."
Su Enen glanced at her and said, "You didn't understand what I said."
"Hmm? What is Miss Su trying to say?" Sorry, she really has no interest in knowing!
"It's beneath someone like that to attend a banquet you've organized," Su Enen said disdainfully.
"Heh." Miss An couldn't help but let out a soft chuckle.
"What are you 'hehing' about?" Su Enen was used to being flattered, and she selectively forgot about the setbacks she had suffered recently.
Miss An smiled and said, "My throat is a little sore. There are too many guests, and I apologize for not being able to entertain you properly. Please make yourself at home, Miss Su."
After saying that, she gracefully stepped away to continue chatting with the other guests.
She was afraid that if she didn't leave soon, she would confront Su Enen, that spoiled idiot.
Lowering your standards? Su Ziqing is the head of a conglomerate, and who are you, Su Enen? Just a rich girl...
Is she stupid to say that a self-reliant heiress who runs rampant because of her family's favor is lowering the class by attending a banquet?
After drinking some warm water, Su Ziqing felt a little better, but there were too many people at the banquet, and she felt a bit tired.
Moreover, many of the female guests were wearing perfume, and she, who was pregnant, felt dizzy after smelling some kind of perfume.
"Senior brother, I want to go out for some fresh air." The banquet has only been going on for a short time, and it would be too impolite for Miss An to leave at this time.
"I'll stay with you." Lu Linghong was a little worried about her; her forced act of being fine made him feel uneasy.
My dislike for Gong Chengjue has reached a new level.
Su Ziqing shook her head, "I'll just go sit in the water bar downstairs for a bit, I'll be back up in a bit."
Lu Linghong: "..."
Before he could say no, Su Ziqing walked away; her persistence had never swayed him.
He didn't have Feng Xixuan's decisive action, and because he was afraid of upsetting her, he naturally had more concerns.
