When Su Ziqing arrived at the branch office, she didn't expect to see Su Tianhao.
He didn't say he was coming to the capital.
Su Tianhao is now the chairman of the Su Group, and he is more spirited than before. When he saw Su Ziqing, he had the kind and gentle look of an elder, "Ziqing, you're here. Come to the office first."
Su Ziqing had other things to attend to, but after hearing what Su Tianhao said, she went into the office first.
"Second Uncle, what brings you to the capital?" Su Ziqing asked Su Tianhao.
Su Tianhao smiled and said, "A friend of mine is having a wedding banquet, so I came here for a drink and to check on how you're doing at the branch office."
"Is Second Uncle worried about me?" Su Ziqing raised her eyes slightly.
"How could your second uncle not trust you to do things? He said he was just dropping by." Su Tianhao smiled at her. "Also, now that I'm in the capital, shouldn't I meet with the Gong family?"
Su Ziqing frowned slightly. "See the Gong family? Why?"
“You silly child, didn’t you say you were going to get engaged to Mr. Gong? There’s always a process to go through. Your parents passed away early, and as your uncle and elder, I naturally have to stand up for you.”
After a pause, Su Tianhao continued, "Meetings between elders are very necessary, so that you won't be looked down upon when you marry into the Gong family."
Although it's said to be an era of free love, wealthy families still place great importance on parental blessings.
Su Ziqing responded with an "oh," neither agreeing nor refusing.
Although Gong Chengjue had previously said he would bring up the engagement, given the Gong family's attitude last night, it will probably take a little longer, right?
But her words made Su Tianhao think too much. "Ziqing, could it be that things have changed between you and Mr. Gong?"
Su Ziqing raised her hand to look at her watch. "Let's focus on work first."
Su Tianhao hummed in agreement and didn't press further, but he had other plans in mind.
…………………………
It was almost time to get off work. Su Ziqing had been busy all day and felt completely dizzy. She thought that if she really went into business in the future, she would probably go crazy.
Fortunately, it's just learning for now.
Gong Chengjue called before she left work. Su Ziqing answered the phone, "Half an hour? Okay."
We agreed to go out for a nice meal tonight, but he didn't say what we'd like to eat, keeping it a mystery.
"Ms. Su." The secretary knocked on the door. "A Mr. Lu is here to see you."
land?
Su Ziqing was stunned for a moment before she reacted, "Let him in."
Lu Linghong walked in, glanced at his secretary, closed the door, and then walked towards her.
Su Ziqing guessed it was Lu Linghong, but she didn't guess why he came here.
"Senior brother..." Su Ziqing gave a flattering smile.
“You didn’t answer your phone last night.” He pulled out a chair and sat down directly.
Her complexion didn't look good at all, and Su Ziqing hummed in agreement.
"Are you with Gong Chengjue?" Even though he knew the answer would be redundant, he couldn't help but ask anyway.
Su Ziqing hummed in agreement, "I... I'll go move my luggage later."
Lu Linghong looked at her and frowned. "Where are you moving to?"
“…Chengjue’s apartment,” Su Ziqing answered honestly.
“Ziqing…” Lu Linghong wanted to say something, but when he met Su Ziqing’s eyes, he swallowed all his words.
“Senior brother, I’m not a child anymore,” she said.
"You're going to live with Gong Chengjue?" Lu Linghong asked directly.
Seeing her nod, Lu Linghong could only say, "I understand."
He didn't say anything more and stood up.
“Senior brother…” Su Ziqing felt that he seemed angry, but she didn’t know what he was angry about.
Are you angry that she's living with Gong Chengjue?
But she and Gong Chengjue are about to get engaged...
"I'm getting engaged to Chengjue," she said softly.
"Oh? Have you set a date? Has the Gong family agreed? When will the engagement ceremony be held?" Lu Linghong asked four questions in a row, his tone even a little aggressive.
Su Ziqing was speechless when asked the question.
"The engagement date hasn't even been set yet, do you think your engagement will actually happen?" Lu Linghong looked at her.
Su Ziqing: "..."
"Forget it, you said yourself that you're not a child anymore, so you know what you're doing." Lu Linghong also felt that he had been meddling too much.
Ultimately, he was just her senior, or more broadly, someone who studied the same major abroad.
"I just stopped by to see you. The company is doing quite well. I have a conference call to attend to, so I'll be going now." Lu Linghong turned and left before Su Ziqing could say anything.
Su Ziqing stood still.
Lu Linghong exited the building, where his car was already waiting, the back door open, ready for him to get in.
However, he saw Gong Chengjue's car waiting there.
Perhaps noticing his gaze, Gong Chengjue rolled down the car window, and their eyes met.
Lu Linghong walked directly towards Gong Chengjue's car.
Gong Chengjue showed no intention of getting out of the car.
Seeing this, Lu Linghong said calmly, "Can we talk about it?"
Luo Jinhan got out of the car and opened the door for Lu Linghong, letting him sit in the back seat.
Lu Linghong cut to the chase, "Mr. Gong, Ziqing is not someone you can treat casually!"
Gong Chengjue found this quite amusing. "In what capacity are you, Mr. Lu, saying this?"
“Your Gong family is a murky place. You are the eldest grandson of the Gong family, and Ziqing is not a good match for you at all.” Lu Linghong felt that Gong Chengjue had ill intentions.
"Whether it's a good match or not, Mr. Lu has no right to judge. Mr. Lu has not yet answered my question." Gong Chengjue looked at Lu Linghong.
“I am Ziqing’s senior brother.” Lu Linghong said with a stern face.
"We just studied at the same school, so calling you 'senior' is just a matter of politeness," Gong Chengjue commented casually.
“My relationship with Ziqing is something you, who has only been around for a few months, can’t compare to,” Lu Linghong sneered.
"Oh? Is that so? If Ziqing knew that her respected senior brother liked her, do you think your relationship would still be the same as before?" Gong Chengjue turned his head and swept his sharp eyes at him.
Lu Linghong's face darkened.
Men understand men. Lu Linghong felt that Gong Chengjue's motives were impure, and Gong Chengjue also saw that Lu Linghong had other intentions.
“Mr. Lu, I’ve come to pick up Ziqing for dinner. She’s about to get off work.” Gong Chengjue glanced at his watch and reminded Lu Linghong that it was time to get out of the car.
Otherwise, Su Ziqing would see Lu Linghong in his car.
Lu Linghong looked at Gong Chengjue and asked, "Why did she agree to be with you? What methods did you use?"
"Mr. Lu should reflect on why, after knowing each other for so long, she didn't even know you liked her," Gong Chengjue replied calmly.
Lu Linghong got out of the car angrily, saying, "If you hurt her, I won't let you off so easily."
