Mu Jingchen cast him a sympathetic look.

"Mr. Gong is so smart, why doesn't he even understand such a simple truth?

Even if my status in Jiangcheng is higher than others, I still cannot decide the fate of the Gong family.

To be precise, the vote I cast at the beginning was insignificant at all. "

Gong Qi stared at him blankly, his eyes flushed with anger.

"Do you think I will believe your nonsense? If you hadn't voted deliberately, how could the Gong family lose the election?"

Mu Jingchen's eyes darkened a little.

"If the Gong family hadn't lost the election, would they have survived until now?"

Gong Qi raised his eyelids, his eyes were full of surprise.

At this moment, he suddenly understood something, and he froze in place, unable to say a word.

Mu Jingchen glanced at him lightly, then stood up.

"In the past few years, you have been targeting me openly and secretly, thinking that I deliberately isolated the palace family for selfishness, which led to your father's gloomy death.

But you never thought, if I was really selfish, why your father didn't report me back then, but instead swallowed this breath?

Gong Qi, some things are not as simple as they appear on the surface, you should calm down and think about it. "

Putting those words aside, he lifted his foot and walked out.

Gong Qi lay on the cold floor, feeling a little dazed.

Thinking deeply about what Mu Jingchen said, it was true.

Back then, the Gong family was the most admired family by the masses.

Everyone believed that the Gong family would definitely be elected as the top three families, even the leader Shangguan Rui said that the Gong family would definitely become the head of the three big families.

No one expected that the Gong family would lose the election in the end.

But think back, when the Gong family failed in the election, no one cared about it except being ridiculed.

Even Shangguan Rui, who was once the most optimistic about the Gong family, never cared about it.

Obviously, he acquiesced to this result.

No, it should be said that this was the result he wanted!

Gong Qi suddenly realized that the hatred for Mu Jingchen these years was a bit ridiculous.

Just like what Mu Jingchen said, he even mistaken the target of revenge, no matter how powerful Mu Jingchen is, he can't decide the fate of the Gong family.

"Ha ha……"

He lay on the ground and suddenly laughed out loud.

Seeing his appearance, Hao Ruhui hurried over.

"Qi'er, are you alright?"

After laughing at herself, Gong Qi looked at her.

"Mother, did you understand what Mu Jingchen said just now?"

Hao Ruhui is a shrewd woman, so she naturally understood those words.

Her eyes were red, and her face was full of helplessness.

"Qi'er, I have advised you a long time ago, what happened back then was not that simple, there is an unknown side hidden in it, we don't need to uncover it.

My mother said long ago that the past is over, we don't need to worry about it all the time, just walk the rest of the way. "

Gong Qi raised his hand with difficulty and smashed the hammer on the floor.

"Mother, I'm not reconciled. Our Gong family has been doing things for Shangguan Rui and has made countless contributions to this city. Why are we even inferior to other families in the end!"

Hao Ruhui was afraid that he would continue to hurt herself, so she grabbed his hand with heartache and hugged him tightly.

"Qi'er, don't worry about these things anymore, there are many things in this world that cannot be explained.

Mother doesn't want you to be immersed in the past all the time, she just wants you to be safe and happy, nothing else. "

Hao Ruhui wept silently, not only feeling sorry for her son, but also worrying about the future.

Both the Gong family and the Qingtian Group were sealed up, and their property was confiscated. She was penniless and had to take care of this son who couldn't take care of himself.

Thinking of the days to come, she even felt a little scared.

But looking down, she was relieved again.

Anyway, the son is still alive.

Gong Qi leaned against her arms and couldn't help crying.

Looking back, what he did all these years was really stupid.

For a Mu Jingchen who had nothing to do with him, he tried his best.

But in the end, he found that Mu Jingchen was not his enemy at all.

However, there is no turning back in life.

He has become a cripple who can't even stand up, and all the good things will pass him by in the end.

What awaits him is a life of endless darkness.

……

The door of the hospital.

Mu Jingchen and Huangfu Liyue walked out together.

Thinking of how Gong Qi collapsed just now, Huangfu Liyue stopped in her tracks.

"Jing Chen, what did you mean by what you said to Gong Qi just now?

That vote you made the Gong family out was not your original intention, was it? "

Mu Jingchen looked at her and nodded slightly.

"I don't have the ability to decide the fate of other families, the crucial vote back then was actually ordered by Shangguan Rui.

Therefore, whether I vote or not, the ending of the Gong family will be the same.

People in high positions are always the target of public criticism. If I don't vote for this, maybe the Gong family's fate will be even worse. "

Huangfu Liyue took a cold breath.

"Shangguan Rui has already stood at such a high position, what else is he not satisfied with?"

Mu Jingchen smiled lightly.

"It's the same as royal fights, everyone wants to be in the highest position, but there's only room for one person.

Therefore, people who sit in this position are trembling every day, for fear that if they are not careful, they will fall from this position.

Those who didn't sit in this position just stared at this position all the time, waiting for the person on it to fall off. "

Huangfu Liyue lowered her eyelids.

"It's exhausting to live on guard all the time."

"After enjoying the glory of standing on a high place, you have to bear the corresponding pressure. In this world, nothing is perfect."

Huangfu Liyue sighed helplessly.

"So, now Shangguan Rui's target is us, right?"

Mu Jingchen stroked her long hair with his hand, and said with a doting smile: "It seems that madam is not stupid."

From the time when Shangguan Rui refused to issue a notice about human cloning, he knew that Shangguan Rui had shifted his target to him.

Seeing that he was still in the mood to joke, Huangfu Liyue said speechlessly: "You can still laugh, maybe we will become the second palace family soon."

"will not."

He replied firmly, then took her hand, said with a light smile, "I'm not Gong Qi."

As early as a few years ago when Shangguan Rui instructed him to vote for the Gong family, he had already guessed that there would be such a day sooner or later.

He has seen others fall down with his own eyes, and he will never repeat the same mistakes.

Looking at his firm eyes, Huangfu Liyue relaxed a lot.

With him here, she doesn't have to worry about many things.

"Okay, go home."

She took his arm, and the two walked to the car together.

But before getting into the car, Jiang Bo suddenly appeared and stopped them.

"Mr. Mu, Mrs. Mu, please come with me, our Lord Shangguan is here to invite you!"

He said "please", but the cold tone was obviously an order.

Mu Jingchen did not refuse, and replied lightly: "Okay."
