"Miss Zhou?" What's she doing here?
The scent of this perfume...
So, Zhou Ruoling was here just now? The customer who had that cup of coffee was also Zhou Ruoling, yet Miss An drank it without any hesitation.
Also, Miss An's lesbian orientation... Su Ziqing felt that her mind seemed to be working faster after the car accident.
She felt like she had discovered something.
Wait a minute, isn't she overthinking things?
However, what happened next...
Miss An looked at Zhou Ruoling and shook her head helplessly, "Ruoling, what are you doing out here at this time?"
Zhou Ruoling gestured for Su Ziqing to sit down again, and then she sat down next to Miss An without any hesitation.
Oh my god...
Su Ziqing's head was buzzing. Was Zhou Ruoling a womanizer who attracted both men and women?
Although Gong Chengjue isn't her official fiancé, he was almost the man she was supposed to marry, okay? Currently, in the public eye, she's Gong Chengjue's official girlfriend, okay?!
Su Ziqing wondered if Gong Chengjue would be so angry that he would kill someone if he saw this scene.
But then I thought again, it seems that Gong Chengjue isn't that stupid.
Whether there is affection between people in an arranged marriage is not important, but they must have done some research and gotten to know each other first, right?
Perhaps Gong Chengjue knew?
Su Ziqing and Zhou Ruoling stared at each other, their minds racing, but their faces remained expressionless, even seemingly unmoved. It was as if, apart from that slight moment of surprise, any other expression would be idiotic.
Zhou Ruoling had no intention of explaining, nor did she need to explain to Su Ziqing. She simply stared at Su Ziqing, her gaze fixed on Su Ziqing's forehead.
She suddenly felt a little lucky; she wasn't the one in the car accident...
Others may not know the details, but the Zhou family originally planned to form a marriage alliance with the Gong family. The fact that the Gong family had a car accident not far away still made the Zhou family aware of it.
I heard they were extremely arrogant and almost caused a car accident and explosion...
This incident also affected innocent people, including Lu Linghong, the heir of the Lu family.
The timing was correct; Su Ziqing met with her and then returned to the Gong family.
Zhou Ruoling coughed lightly and asked, "Are you looking for Gong Chengjue?"
Su Ziqing remained silent.
"Things have come to this point, so I won't hide it from you. Gong Chengjue and I have our own private agreements, which I mean private agreements outside of our families."
She is not the only daughter in the Zhou family.
Su Ziqing doesn't even fully trust Gong Changfan, so how could she possibly trust Zhou Ruoling, whom she doesn't know at all?
Don't forget that Zhou Ruoling was so cold and ruthless.
Whether Gong Chengjue is alive or dead makes a difference to Zhou Ruoling, but to say that there is a big difference is unbelievable.
As for the Zhou family, they don't have a formal marriage alliance with the Gong family. When it comes to dating, who doesn't date a few people to distinguish between scumbags and scumbags? It's no big deal.
If Gong Chengjue is really dead, he can just find another family. The capital city is not short of talented young men.
But for Zhou Ruoling, things took an unexpected turn.
She hadn't originally planned to get involved, but when she returned to the Zhou family yesterday, she realized she really needed Gong Chengjue as an assistant.
Zhou Ruoling wouldn't tell Su Ziqing the specifics; she simply said, "I'm looking for him too."
Su Ziqing remained expressionless. "Miss Zhou, you didn't seem to say that before?"
Zhou Ruoling forced a smile and said, "I'll explain to you if I have the chance in the future."
Su Ziqing frowned and stood up. "Then you go find yours." As for herself, she would naturally send someone else to look for it; there was no conflict between them.
Su Ziqing couldn't possibly say too much to others, just as Zhou Ruoling couldn't possibly say too much to Su Ziqing.
Zhou Ruoling reminded Su Ziqing, "Miss Su, please be careful. It seems that in some people's eyes, you, the ex, are more important than me, the current one."
Su Ziqing turned to look at Zhou Ruoling, her gaze lingering slightly on the close proximity between Zhou Ruoling and Miss An, before replying with a double meaning, "Miss Zhou, please be careful as well."
“Miss Su,” Zhou Ruoling thought for a moment and then added, “the Gong family…not everyone can be trusted.”
Su Ziqing didn't know what Zhou Ruoling was reminding her of. Was she referring to Gong Changming and the fourth son of the Gong family?
She already knows all of this without her having to say it.
With Gu Mingyin's complete recounting, Su Ziqing now understands the ins and outs of the Gong family as clearly as a member of the Gong family herself.
"Miss Zhou, could you explain it more clearly?" Su Ziqing looked at Zhou Ruoling with a puzzled expression.
The two looked at each other, but Zhou Ruoling didn't say anything more and couldn't get anything out of Su Ziqing.
After leaving Anhe Group and getting into the car, Su Ziqing finally let out a sigh of relief.
No wonder Gong Chengjue told her that things weren't as she thought...
She glanced at the bodyguard sitting in the passenger seat of the car. Although Gong Changfan had given him to her, he was actually Gong Chengjue's man.
Gong Changfan was worried that she wouldn't accept it, so he made the right arrangement in this regard.
"How much do you know about Miss Zhou?" Su Ziqing asked the bodyguard directly.
Bodyguard: "..." He's a straight man, only responsible for security, why should he get involved in emotional issues?
How should he answer, and what kind of answer should he give?
"You'd better keep your mouth shut," he shook his head.
Su Ziqing saw the bodyguard shake his head and realized that it made sense. Although the person was Gong Chengjue's man, there were close guards and ordinary people.
If it's someone like Luo Jinhan, or the bodyguard she used before, they might know a lot, but as for others... never mind.
After Su Ziqing left, Miss An spoke with Zhou Ruoling, "Why did you suddenly come out?"
“I’m thirsty,” Zhou Ruoling said.
Miss An: "..."
"Just kidding, I told you Su Ziqing was something else. Look at her, she takes an unconventional approach." Zhou Ruoling used this phrase in a positive way at this moment.
However, Zhou Ruoling said with a hint of jealousy, "Are you that familiar with her?"
Miss An chuckled, "We hit it off immediately, I admire her very much." Like attracts like, you know?
Zhou Ruoling said "Oh," and then asked, "Do you think the people you sent out can find Gong Chengjue?"
"I don't know," Miss An said honestly. "They're all hired to do things, and whether they succeed or not also depends on luck."
"You won't even tell me why you suddenly changed your mind and want to find Gong Chengjue?" Miss An asked calmly.
Zhou Ruoling looked at Miss An, then her eyes turned slightly cold as she lit a cigarette. "My family said that if Gong Chengjue gets into trouble, my marriage partner will have to be replaced by a middle-aged lecherous man who has lost his wife."
Miss An looked annoyed, "How could they..."
“Why not?” Zhou Ruoling exhaled a smoke ring. “My dad is gone, my older brother has passed away, and my older sister has gone insane. Tell me, why wouldn’t they be?”
Zhou Ruoling chuckled lightly, as if she were talking about someone insignificant, not her own affairs.
