"This is the Gong family's old residence." This is the Gong family's ancestral home, their headquarters, so why isn't Gong Changhong here?
"Yes, this is the Gong family's old residence, and also where the head of the family lives." In the future, it may also be your home.
Gong Changfan looked at her and smiled faintly, "It seems that Miss Su still has many things she doesn't understand about the Gong family." He wondered if she would be willing to spend more time learning about it.
Su Ziqing pursed her lips and remained silent.
This is the old residence of the Gong family. If she can't find Gong Changhong here, where else can she look for him?
When she was with Gong Chengjue before, she didn't think it was difficult to see the Gong family. To put it bluntly, it seemed like she could see them anytime she turned around, whether she wanted to see them or not.
However, after breaking up with Gong Chengjue, especially now, she realized that when the Gong family didn't want to see her, she simply couldn't find a way to see them.
Gong Changhong holds a high position and is a soldier. It's one thing for ordinary people not to be able to track his whereabouts, but even if people knew he was in the military, ordinary people couldn't get in.
Not to mention, she had absolutely no idea where Gong Changhong worked...
I absolutely hate this feeling of powerlessness.
She just wanted to know if Gong Chengjue was safe. Was it hard for her to ask?
She let out a soft chuckle.
"Miss Su is feeling unwell?" Gong Changfan asked knowingly.
She looked up at Gong Changfan and said, "Yes, you are the head of the family. Gong Chengjue's safety is nothing more than the safety of one of the younger members of the Gong family to you."
Why would anyone care about someone who isn't their own child? To put it bluntly, legally speaking, they're uncle and nephew with no inheritance relationship whatsoever. Why should anyone care about Gong Chengjue?
Su Ziqing stood up. "Sorry to bother you," she said, her voice icy.
She shouldn't have come here; it was like witnessing the cold-bloodedness of the Gong family firsthand.
With Old Master Gong gone, has Gong Chengjue's status in the Gong family changed to this?
Gong Changfan felt he needed to salvage this already unpleasant conversation. "Miss Su, didn't you say you still love Chengjue?"
So what's so difficult about acknowledging one's own identity?
Wasn't she said to be pregnant with Chengjue's child?
Say it!
Su Ziqing sneered and glanced at Gong Changfan. "Does love mean being together?" He wanted her to compromise? Dream on.
Gong Changfan: "..."
That would be a real shame, as he couldn't tell her yet.
Su Ziqing walked out of the study, then strode back, angrily bracing herself on the edge of the desk, glaring at Gong Changfan, "He's in trouble, and you, as the head of the family, can't just stand by and do nothing!!"
Gong Changfan, being an old fox, was not swayed by Su Ziqing's attitude and did not reveal the truth. Instead, he said calmly, "For someone who claims to have no connection with anything, this seems a bit exaggerated."
Su Ziqing was so angry that she almost spat out blood.
She had originally thought that when she asked him that question, he would either answer that it was none of her business or that he had his own reasons, so that she could analyze the general situation from his answer.
But Gong Changfan so easily deflected her probing!
She steadied herself and asked again, "Mr. Gong, are you really unwilling to talk about it?"
"Isn't the final decision on whether or not we can get the answer in your hands, Miss Su?" Gong Changfan skillfully threw the question back at her.
Su Ziqing felt like she was about to explode.
"In that case, I'll let the person who can find the answer ask." Su Ziqing walked out of the Su family home.
As Gong Changfan watched the departing figure, the ease on his face vanished.
Su Ziqing walked out of the Gong family home with a sullen face and got into Lu Linghong's car.
Seeing her like this, Lu Linghong guessed that the meeting with the Gong family must have not gone smoothly. "Didn't the Gong family say anything?"
Su Ziqing looked at him, "How did you know? Why do you ask?"
Lu Linghong put himself in Su Ziqing's shoes and explained how prestigious families handle things, then looked at her and asked, "If you were in her shoes, would you say the same thing?"
He broke up with his ex-girlfriend, now has a current girlfriend, and they're even planning to get married. His ex-girlfriend came to ask what happened, which sounds like she's up to no good.
Su Ziqing chuckled softly, "The Gong family is far more cold-blooded than I imagined. No wonder he had to compromise and agree to a marriage alliance..."
"So you've forgiven him?" Lu Linghong raised an eyebrow slightly.
"I haven't forgiven him yet; I'm just analyzing his choices." I understand him rationally, but emotionally... well...
Lu Linghong felt that she was a contradiction. If she still refused to forgive him, then what did this mean?
Why would you go out of your way to find out about Gong Chengjue?
Su Ziqing looked out the car window. She didn't feel conflicted at all. She felt that love, forgiveness, and being together could all be viewed separately.
Yes, that's it.
She called Zhou Ruoling and asked to meet her.
After she finished her call, Lu Linghong asked in surprise, "You want to meet Zhou Ruoling?"
“Gong Changfan said that only recognized family members are qualified to know about the Gong family’s affairs. Zhou Ruoling, do you have that qualification?” She looked at Lu Linghong.
……………………
When Su Ziqing met Zhou Ruoling, she once again felt deeply that arranged marriages were really too unreliable.
As his girlfriend, Zhou Ruoling's face showed absolutely no emotion, let alone any hint of nervousness or sadness!
It's as if whether Gong Chengjue gets into trouble or not has no impact on her.
Even without feelings, there must be some vested interests involved, right? Does it have to be this cold-blooded?
However, in reality... there hasn't been a marriage yet, so there hasn't been any real involvement of interests. Zhou Ruoling expressed her innocence.
“Miss Su, I can’t get in touch with Chengjue either,” Zhou Ruoling said calmly. “How could the outside world possibly find out about the information that the Gong family is hiding?”
"You're his current girlfriend!!" Su Ziqing was furious. "And aren't you worried at all?"
“What’s the use of me worrying? He’ll be fine and come back on his own. If something happens to him, my worrying won’t change anything,” Zhou Ruoling said honestly.
Su Ziqing's eyes widened, she could hardly believe what she was hearing, "You two are going to have a marriage alliance..."
"Well, but we're not officially engaged yet, are we?" Zhou Ruoling didn't understand why Su Ziqing was so nervous.
What's the point of worrying about things you can't change, right?
Watching Zhou Ruoling talk about Gong Chengjue as if he were a complete stranger, Su Ziqing was furious. "You two might get married in the future, and you might have..." She swallowed the word "child" and didn't say it.
“Then let’s talk about it when I’m Mrs. Gong.” Zhou Ruoling made the distinction very clear.
Seeing Su Ziqing looking at her with disbelief, Zhou Ruoling chuckled, "Miss Su, do you think there's anything wrong with what I'm doing?"
What's wrong with it? Does she think what she's doing is appropriate?
“If something happens to me, Gong Chengjue will be the same,” Zhou Ruoling reminded her. “He’s not just a person who’s ruthless and cold-blooded; it’s a marriage arrangement. You have to be clear about that.”
