Chapter 1314 - 1316
After Gong Ruini went to the brother’s restroom, she wanted to return to her room and continue sleeping.
Later, as she passed Zhao Xuran’s room, she remembered to find her boyfriend because Chu Ling’s expression wasn’t too good when she returned yesterday.
Even though Chu Ling hid it well, her eyes were red.
Gong Ruini wanted to ask but didn’t dare; she really didn’t want to complain about her own mother.
It seemed like Gong Ruwen wasn’t handling things well, but it really wasn’t a big deal as long as Gong Ruwen could realize his mistake.
But once the parents got involved, this issue wasn’t so easy to resolve.
Gong Ruini was about to wake Zhao Xuran and ask him how things were yesterday.
Unexpectedly, she hadn’t even moved to push her boyfriend when he pulled her into his arms.
Gong Ruini was scared; isn’t it said that men are more impulsive in the morning?
Besides, there were people around watching.
Through the light coming in through the window, Zhao Xuran smiled.
He leaned forward and kissed Gong Ruini’s forehead, "What are you imagining, girl?"
Even if he really had Lady Xiang, he wouldn’t do it in front of so many people, right?
A man’s self-control is sometimes uncontrollable, but he wouldn’t put on such a show for people.
"What am I imagining?" Gong Ruini stammered, "Alright, let’s talk outside."
"No need, let’s just talk here." Zhao Xuran was quite tired, "Besides, they just fell asleep not long ago."
Ah, just fell asleep not long ago? Gong Ruini got nervous; did they discuss a lot yesterday?
"Did my mom say something unpleasant?"
"Sigh, when sister-in-law came in yesterday, she looked unhappy too."
"Did she say anything?" Although based on Chu Ling’s proud personality, she wouldn’t say much, Zhao Xuran still needed to ask.
What could Chu Ling say, Gong Ruini shook her head helplessly at Zhao Xuran, "Do you think it’s possible?"
"Chu Ling is proud; she wouldn’t say these things."
"More importantly, this time it was my mom admonishing her, and I’m my mom’s daughter, so is it better for her to complain to me or say it’s okay?"
No matter how good the sister-in-law relationship is, when it involves mom/mother-in-law, it’s more sensitive.
"Your mom, sigh." Zhao Xuran didn’t know how to describe.
"My mom values my brother more, maybe she thinks Chu Ling wasn’t giving my brother a good face."
It seems his wife understands her mom well, which is good, otherwise Zhao Xuran really worries his wife might not be sensible either.
"Not just that, not only did she not give a good face, she implied that as a woman, how could she show that to a man?"
Really? Gong Ruini was shocked, "Sigh, she was kind of intimidated by Chu Ling before, at least she wouldn’t say things like this."
"She even said women should give men face outside."
"She also said your brother would be a busy man, hoping that all household matters would be handled by Chu Ling."
"She doesn’t ask for big achievements in her career, just hopes your sister-in-law can take good care of your brother."
"She even mentioned it would be okay if she became a housewife."
Zhao Xuran remembered what Cai Meina said, and he couldn’t help but criticize a bit, "Doesn’t your mom think that she’s also doing business, and seriously, since she came to Beijing, she’s been busy studying or working."
"Even Xiao Zhi was mostly taken care of by us." Although Xiao Zhi is of the same generation, he really grew up right under Zhao Xuran and his peers’ eyes, you could say raising this child really took a lot out of them.
"Sigh, doing this, how will Chu Ling feel." Gong Ruini was so angry at her mom’s blunt words that she felt like spitting blood.
"Do you think my sister-in-law will regret it, feel like my mom treats her this way because she chose my brother, and basically cut ties with her family."
Even if Old Sir Chu hoped to see Gong Ruwen soar higher, relatively, Chu Ling couldn’t access the Chu family’s resources.
Even if she wasn’t removed from the Chu family, a person who can’t access their resources is practically removed from the Chu family.
Gong Ruini sighed, "Now her husband’s family has this attitude too; if it were me, I’d be heartbroken."
Yes, heartbroken, it’s really not something you can describe as just a heartache.
Oh no, Zhao Xuran wasn’t happy with Gong Ruini’s statement, "What do you mean if it were you."
"My mom wouldn’t act like this; look at Guang Ran, even when it was a big deal back then, my mom just expressed she didn’t want Cao Na with Guang Ran, but did she say anything to Cao Na?"
Gong Ruini shook her head, Zhan Jing really didn’t go to talk to Cao Na, of course, maybe Zhan Jing thought as an adult, there’s really no need to preach to a child.
Maybe in Zhan Jing’s view, Cao Na was just a passerby in her son’s life, she obviously didn’t need to speak with this person.
That’s what Gong Ruini thought too; she wouldn’t say anything publicly that would make Zhao Xuran unhappy or make Zhan Jing feel uneasy when she hears.
"Auntie is the best, my mom really can’t compare in this aspect."
"However, the main point is my brother." Although the mother-in-law’s involvement often causes young couples to have such and such conflicts, if the man steps up to take responsibility, these troubles wouldn’t exist.
"Your brother did tell off your mom." Zhao Xuran was quite surprised by Gong Ruwen’s manly stance.
Really? Gong Ruwen, who especially respects the elderly, actually acted so dominantly.
"Can’t imagine it." Gong Ruini got all excited thinking about that scene, sighing, why didn’t she follow along out of worry earlier.
If she had followed, maybe she would have seen it.
"If you went, it would’ve been a big deal." Zhao Xuran patted Gong Ruini’s head, signaling her to calm down.
Oh, why would it become a big deal if she went, Gong Ruini was full of dissatisfaction.
She glared fiercely at Zhao Xuran, determined not to let him go without an answer.
"If you went, it would only make the situation worse."
"Your mom cried."
Really? Ms. Cai Meina actually suffered a loss, "But that seems about right."
"In her heart, she must feel she’s standing up for my brother, why did my brother have to say that about her."
"She would feel that she’s done something unappreciated." Gong Ruini could totally imagine Cai Meina’s mood.
"So what do you think you’d do if you went?"
What would she do? Gong Ruini lowered her head and fell silent; if she had gone in, she would have unceremoniously criticized.
"See, if you went, you’d really make your mom furious."
Okay, Gong Ruini admitted that if she had gone, it would only add to the trouble.
"If it were me, I’d notice the problem early on, definitely wouldn’t show it in front of the parents."
"Seeing the daughter-in-law giving their son a bad face, the parents naturally wouldn’t feel good."
Alright, Gong Ruini realized Zhao Xuran was criticizing Gong Ruwen.
Gong Ruini moved her mouth, wanting to defend her big brother, but once she opened her mouth, she really didn’t know what to say.
"Okay, let’s sleep." Zhao Xuran yawned, cuddling up to Gong Ruini to sleep.
Oh no, what does this mean, letting her sleep here, although no one would think they’re doing anything inappropriate.
But is this really okay?
No matter how much Gong Ruini pushed, Zhao Xuran didn’t budge, and sleepiness surged again.
Fine, since there’s no way to leave, let’s sleep.
Before long, Gong Ruini relaxed, initially thinking Zhao Xuran had closed his eyes, only to find his little wife quietly beside him.
"This is really nice." He kissed his wife again, holding her tightly and drifting off to sleep.
