Chapter 1729: In the End, It Was Hopeless

Moreover, Gong Zeli probably wouldn’t reject her. Even if he couldn’t completely solve the Shen Family’s problem, he would at least help a little.

But judging from Shen Rou’s performance and her family’s current situation, Gong Zeli obviously didn’t help.

Even if he helped a little, the Shen Family wouldn’t have fallen to such a state.

Although the Shen Corporation hadn’t declared bankruptcy, the corporation’s current situation was similar to that.

It was a hopeless situation.

If Gong Zeli still liked Shen Rou, would he watch her family fall to this state?

Could he accept Shen Rou going on blind dates?

According to Yan Shaoqing, as long as Shen Rou was willing, Gong Zeli could marry her anytime.

It was always better for Shen Rou to marry Gong Zeli than for her to go on blind dates. Gong Zeli’s qualifications were far from hers.

“Baby, are you sure Gong Zeli really likes her? If a man likes a woman, would he ignore her in her most difficult situation?”

“Perhaps he and Shen Rou had a misunderstanding.” Qiao Mianmian thought for a while and said, “In any case, I don’t think Gong Zeli would be interested in me.”

Gong Zeli knew that she and Mo Yesi were married.

It was said that a friend’s wife was not to be trifled with.

No matter what, Gong Zeli wouldn’t fall for his brother’s wife.

Moreover, Qiao Mianmian didn’t think she had such charm.

“Perhaps.” Jiang Luoli shrugged. “It’s best that he’s not interested in you. I hope I’m wrong. Otherwise, how could he face Prince Charming and l.u.s.t after his brother’s wife? Isn’t he a jerk?”

But Jiang Luoli still felt that Gong Zeli wasn’t pure towards Qiao Mianmian.

Everything else could be explained as a brotherhood.

But the way he looked at Qiao Mianmian…

…

They left the hospital.

Gong Zeli sat in the car but didn’t start it.

He recalled the feeling when he was carrying Qiao Mianmian.

That was the first time he was so close to her.

He could feel her body temperature when he was carrying her.

And her faint scent.

The journey carrying her was actually very short, but in his heart, it was a beautiful memory that he couldn’t erase.

At that time, he really hoped that time would last forever.

Or perhaps, it would be better if the road was longer.

He wanted to carry her for the rest of his life.

Gong Zeli realized something terrible. He seemed to be sinking deeper and deeper.

He seemed to have fallen into a swamp. The more he struggled, the deeper he sank.

In the end, it was hopeless.

He thought that liking someone was a sweet and wonderful thing.

But he didn’t feel it at all.

Perhaps she already felt something.

That was why she was so cold and distant to him.

Gong Zeli sat in the car for a long time. Just as he was about to start it, his cell phone rang.

He picked it up and frowned when he saw the caller ID.

It was Madam Gong.

Gong Zeli hadn’t picked up the call yet, but he could guess why she was calling.

He picked it up. “Mom.”

Madam Gong’s angry voice was heard. “What did you do to Qingqing? Not only did you hit her, you even chased her out of the mall. Is this true?”
