Chapter 1313 - 1315
Gong Ruwen was really down today, not understanding why his wife’s attitude towards him suddenly turned cold.
"You say Brother Ruwen is really that silly." Of course, Zhao Guangran knows, but why should he remind him.
It’s rare to see Gong Ruwen in such a flustered state, can’t miss this opportunity,
"There’s a problem." Zhao Xuran was puzzled why the two people who were perfectly fine before started feeling awkward now.
Cai Meina grunted, feeling embarrassed to confront her big brother about his mistake, hoping he’d realize it himself.
But looking at Gong Ruwen, if you don’t give him a hint, he definitely won’t know where he went wrong.
"Don’t remind him." Seeing Cai Meina’s lips move, Zhao Guangran immediately spoke up to stop her.
She rolled her eyes at Zhao Guangran, really thinking he’s someone special, can he decide if reminding is allowed?
Gong Ruini unceremoniously recounted Gong Ruwen’s past behavior, "What to do now?"
Just for this? Zhao Xuran was shocked; in his view, it’s not a big deal, but he couldn’t say it’s trivial in front of his wife.
"The main thing is that Ruwen didn’t expect it."
"What do you think if this matter reaches your brother, would he think I’m and Guangran are overstepping?" Zhao Xuran gave an unapologetic glare at Zhao Guangran nearby.
If Zhao Guangran hadn’t meddled, he definitely wouldn’t believe it.
"Sometimes you have to advise." Girls do get angry, but you shouldn’t stir the pot when they’re already mad.
This way, can the anger really subside?
"How should I advise?" Zhao Guangran was feeling wronged, "Even Lian Ni didn’t advise."
Gong Ruini, the younger sister, didn’t have any opinions, how could he as an outsider interfere?
"I just don’t want to end up being disliked inside out." Yes, that’s it, Zhao Guangran stated he won’t carry this burden.
"Well, I do think my brother doesn’t take good care of people." Gong Ruini explained why she didn’t stop it at that time.
"Forget it, as long as you know, let my brother figure it out himself, that way he’ll remember firmly." Gong Ruini knew Zhao Xuran was puzzled as to why such a small matter was so troublesome.
Zhao Xuran still didn’t quite understand, but since his wife said it, he just listened, "The main thing is not to tell Ruwen, right."
No problem not understanding why this should be done, just follow instructions.
Seeing them gather together, Gong Ruwen’s first thought was they were discussing something related to him, "What’s that you can’t tell me."
Hmph, it is related to him, inappropriate.
Ha, how did he come here unexpectedly, Gong Ruwen’s voice really startled a bunch of people.
"Go ahead." Hmph, claiming it’s something that can’t be told to him, and then fearing upon seeing him, who’d believe it’s nothing?
"Not telling you, your own mistake, you figure it out." Zhao Guangran charged ahead.
Hmph, he didn’t want to be burdened as someone’s scapegoat.
What’s going on, why is Zhao Guangran also having issues with him, leaving Gong Ruwen puzzled.
"That’s because he’s taking the blame for you." Zhao Xuran patted Gong Ruwen’s shoulder, indicating why Zhao Guangran was so upset.
Zhao Guangran taking the blame for him? Why doesn’t this make sense? What did he do requiring Zhao Guangran to take the blame?
Isn’t it generally someone else helping Zhao Guangran take the blame? How is Zhao Guangran taking the blame for him? Gong Ruwen felt unconvinced.
At this, Gong Ruini could only chuckle, "Alright, brother, we’re heading to rest."
Wasn’t big brother all curious? Then let him stay curious, best if he bothers Zhao Guangran.
Even if Zhao Guangran might drop a hint, it’ll surely give Gong Ruwen a good nudge.
Ah, leaving just like that? Is there a problem? Gong Ruini felt a bit uneasy.
Not worried about Zhao Guangran, but worried about his sharp tongue angering her brother.
Zhao Xuran nudged Cai Meina, signaling he can handle it.
Just as Cai Meina pushed open the door, she was pulled inside swiftly by Gong Jiaxin, quick enough to startle Cai Meina.
Just preparing her expressions, "Ah, why isn’t sister-in-law here?"
Wait, wasn’t Chu Ling not seen in the living room? She shouldn’t be out at this hour.
Uh-oh, wouldn’t she have been summoned by her mom upstairs? Cai Meina’s face turned pale.
Don’t be fooled by Gong Jiaxin being a college student and now a wife, she’s still quite traditional, her sons are absolutely good in her heart.
When the family conditions were average in childhood, Gong Jiaxin would strive to do all the work well, making sure Gong Ruwen didn’t have to do chores.
Once the family conditions improved, with everyone earning more, combined with everyone being busier, many things were outsourced.
Thus Gong Ruwen really doesn’t have the concept of doing housework.
Including Zhao Xuran as well, he’d just think things are taken care of, he being the busy person with many matters to attend to, how could he have time for chores, isn’t it wasteful?
As for why he helped just now, perhaps seeing her doing it, back when they were together, tea brewing and cooking night snacks were divided tasks.
Can Cai Meina say this to Chu Ling? Of course not, Cai Meina could completely imagine Chu Ling’s expressions, she’d definitely say you’re just defending your brother.
"Did mom call her?" Cai Meina still held onto a last hope while asking.
Looking at Gong Jiaxin’s helpless expression, although not wanting to scare her, he also couldn’t say no, huh?
Seeing Gong Jiaxin nod at her, the panic, "Really."
What to do, Cai Meina couldn’t possibly confront Gong Jiaxin, how to intervene?
This is all brought upon by that little rascal Gong Ruwen, so of course it’s him to be confronted first.
Cai Meina swiftly ran to the room Gong Ruwen stayed in; no one was there.
The urgency, earlier Zhao Xuran’s meaning, should be discussing something with Gong Ruwen, wouldn’t they just go out for a walk, considering huge New York, not a single clue.
Just as Cai Meina was about to rush upstairs, she turned and found the two huddling on the balcony.
Sighing a long relief, she quickly dashed to the balcony side, "Brother, sister-in-law got called upstairs by mom."
At first, Gong Ruwen didn’t think it was a major issue, mom didn’t get along privately with Chu Ling, they got along well before.
"Ah, this time the issue is big, mom must have called sister-in-law for a good scolding." Sigh, her foolish brother still hasn’t realized.
Ah, wouldn’t mom scold Chu Ling, Gong Ruwen was nervous, "You’re not joking with me, right."
Yes, definitely, his sister is mature now, but occasionally she also jokes like this, Gong Ruwen calmed down completely.
"No." Wouldn’t it be not told yet? Cai Meina discontentedly looked at Zhao Xuran.
Brother’s pace is a bit slow now, claiming his decision-making ability is excellent, now seeing everything is just boasting.
