Chapter 293

ldn't figure out who for the moment.Feeling Cheng Luo loosen his grip on her hand, Su Keixin almost lost her balance and quickly used her injured foot to press down on the ground, preventing herself f...Su Kexin returned to the magazine.

For some reason, I feel a little bothered by Cheng Luo's words and want to figure out what's going on.

Su Kexin remembered that Zheng Jie had spent the longest time at the magazine. Maybe she could find out about the grievances of the Cheng family back then from her.

Zheng Jie recalled for a moment, then flipped through her old diary and answered Su Keixin's question.

Zheng Jie said: "Ten years ago, the Cheng family encountered an unprecedented business crisis. Several big consortia from other places put pressure on the Cheng Group, and it was almost acquired by consortiums from other cities. It was really close to running out of ammunition, and the mountains were about to be lost."

Sister Zheng also said, "I remember that this incident back then was quite a sensation because the three major families in City S were interconnected. They prospered together and suffered together. This crisis also alarmed the people of the Ji and Gu families, but they did not come to the rescue, but rather adopted a wait-and-see attitude."

Su Ke Xin couldn't help but interject, "Why don't they lend a hand to the Cheng family Aren't they supposed to be close friends through generations"

"Yeah, they would definitely have come to help. But that year happened to coincide with the global economic crisis, and both families were not doing well either. So, they could only watch from the sidelines for now. They didn't want the Cheng family to be acquired."

Su Keqin listened attentively to the whole story.

"That's not all," Zheng Jie added.

"Is there more" Su Keqin asked.

"This has nothing to do with the company being suppressed and acquired." Zheng Jie said, "But Cheng Raoer just happened to be kidnapped and disappeared at this juncture. You tell me, isn't this adding insult to injury for the Cheng family"

Originally, there were so many factors influencing the kidnapping case back then. Su Kexin mused to herself.

Zheng Jie said: "Because back then Cheng Ruor and Gu Chi..."

She hesitated, unsure whether to tell Su Ke Xin about the kidnapping incident from that year and was momentarily speechless.

Su Ke Xin said, "Zheng Jie, it's okay, you can tell me. I heard about the kidnapping case from Gu Chi."

Zheng Jie put her mind at ease and continued, “Fortunately, the Gu family came to help at that time. Although Cheng Ruo'er died in that fire, Cheng Family Group unexpectedly received a lot of support from the Gu family because of this kidnapping case, which helped them through the crisis. Otherwise, the current Cheng family would probably be truly desolate.”

Yeah. The Cheng family is no longer looked upon favorably by the outside world; they are seen as a fading star.

But Su Keqin had a premonition that as long as Cheng Luo could manage well, the day when the Cheng family would regain its former glory was just around the corner.

"Back then, it must have been Gu YuFeng who helped, wasn't it"

She thought her grandfather must have been a prominent figure in the business world back then.

But Zheng Jie shook her head, denying Su Kexin's idea.

Cheng Jie said, "You're wrong, Su Ke Xin. It wasn't Gu Jia's old master who came to the rescue. He was so worried about Gu Chi being kidnapped that he got sick himself at the time. He wouldn't have had the energy to save the Cheng family."

"That was..."

Zheng Jie said, “It’s Gu Xiao, Gu Chi’s older brother.”

Su Keixin was stunned.

It was Gu Xiao who came to the rescue

Su Keqin felt very surprised.

For this person, although she doesn't know much about them, judging from Gu Xiao's treacherous nature, he shouldn't do anything that wouldn't benefit him.

She couldn't help but ask: "Are Gu Xiao and Cheng Luo on good terms"

Sister Zheng closed her notebook and said, "I don't know about that. Anyway, they probably knew each other a long time ago."

At this point, Su Ke Xin hadn't had time to ponder the strangeness of it all when she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her stomach and an overwhelming urge to vomit.

Seeing this, Sister Zheng panicked and hurriedly shouted, “Su Ke Xin, what’s wrong with you! Why is your face so pale!”

Su Kexin covered her mouth, waved at her, and ran to the restroom to vomit.

Xiaomei came running over in surprise, asking what was going on.

Zheng Jie said, “I don’t know, she seems like she’s about to vomit.”

"Is she going to be sick" Xiǎo méi was quick-witted, she called out to Zheng Jie: "She couldn't be pregnant, could she!"

As soon as the pregnancy was announced, everyone in the office went silent, stunned into disbelief.

People who work for magazines have super-sensitive nerves and are incredibly gossipy, maybe it's a occupational disease. And let alone Su Kexin's current status.ing on her lips."He fell for me, too. That's my skill. At least this diamond ring and bag are much more useful than some broke loser of a man." She waved her finger with the pigeon egg-sized diamond r...
