Chapter 1318 - 1320
JOHN knows that it is highly likely Zhao Guangran will buy the house, but many things can be unexpected, after all, they also expressed the hope for more options to choose from.
JOHN is a bit regretful, but he’s still trying hard to help Renee and the others find a house.
"Yes, we’ve decided." Although the house is rundown, Renee really likes it.
Even though it can’t be torn down and rebuilt, or turned into a high building, the information Zhao Guangran found out makes them quite satisfied.
These days, Mei Na’s mood has been all kinds of bad, and she incessantly complains about the children’s choices.
Gong Tao was exasperated, "Can’t you stop talking about it?"
"Why should I stop? The son is like this, the daughter is like that." In Mei Na’s heart, there’s a sense of grievance, "I’m truly considering things for him."
"But take a look." The eldest son is unhappy, and the daughter, although she hasn’t talked to her, from her expression, lets Mei Na know that the daughter isn’t on her side either.
Alright then, the two older children have their ideas, and Mei Na doesn’t insist on them, but why doesn’t even the youngest son agree?
"One by one, they’ve grown up and spread their wings, all saying that I’m in the wrong."
Listening to Mei Na’s incessant complaints, Gong Tao, originally considering the matter further, decided not to think about it anymore.
"Xiao Zhi mentioned to me that he hopes to stay in the United States for high school." With Zhao Xuran and the others staying in China, there’s someone to keep an eye on him, which makes Gong Tao absolutely reassured.
But the key issue now is Zhao Xuran and the others coming to the United States for education, and even though the eldest son returns, is his workload any less?
Gong Tao knows that Gong Ruwen took over the tasks Ni Zi handed him, plus the other assets he manages, making him absolutely too busy to properly supervise Gong Ruzhi.
No one is there to supervise the youngest son, who often spends time with Cai Meina, making Gong Tao really afraid to imagine what the youngest son might turn into.
Since that’s the case, let him come to America too; with Renee watching over him, and Dai Liren guaranteeing he’ll take good care of Gong Ruzhi.
Though Gong Tao is also a bit uneasy, in comparison, it’s better to let the son come to America.
Ah, really? Cai Meina was stunned, unable to care about being disrespected by the kids; she was truly flustered.
"What did you say? Did you say Xiao Zhi wants to come to the United States for high school?"
"Wasn’t he supposed to finish high school in China before coming to the United States?" Cai Meina was really thinking about the family, wondering how empty the house would get when all the children go to the US for further studies.
It would be better for Xiao Zhi to finish university in China and then come to the United States. How did it turn into coming for high school?
"I don’t agree." He’s her son too; why should Gong Tao make all the decisions?
"He’s already so disobedient now; if he comes to the United States for study and work, will he still listen?" And the son is supposed to study computer science in the future.
This field, certainly, has more opportunities to be learned in the United States to allow the son to start his own business. With Gong Ruwen’s return, Xiao Zhi obviously couldn’t inherit most of the family’s assets.
Thinking of how inconvenient it might be to meet the youngest son in the future gave Cai Meina a sense of grievance,
"No way, I disagree." Cai Meina holds firmly onto this stance.
"Why disagree?" Gong Ruzhi stormed in angrily, coming to apologize to his mom.
Knowing Cai Meina’s incident that day, he couldn’t help but say some words he shouldn’t have to her.
Although Gong Ruzhi feels he wasn’t wrong, it’s the mom who’s unreasonable; however, everyone, including Chu Ling, fiercely scolded him one after another.
He hadn’t expected that without even apologizing, he’d overhear this conversation.
Originally not very willing to apologize, hearing Cai Meina speak such unreasonable words made him unable to hold back.
"I love computers; I just want to study in America."
"Dad has agreed. If you disagree, I’ll talk to Uncle." Gong Ruzhi thought of saying that with Dad’s agreement, it’s settled, but later realized that would put Dad in a disadvantageous position.
This is definitely a time for Uncle to step in, even though the uncle is younger and might listen to Mom, the uncle is reasonable and would discuss things if they make sense.
So long as Uncle is willing to tackle this matter, he doesn’t believe it can’t be resolved.
Talk to Cai Ming? This darn kid, "You dare!" Mei Na was really nervous.
She could predict her brother’s anger if this matter reaches Cai Ming.
Although, afterward, Mei Na feels she might have been a bit unreasonable, she can’t bear that her children aren’t on her side, making her vent out uncontrollably.
"Why wouldn’t I dare, Mom? You’re blocking my future, so of course, I’m not willing." He’s learned quite a lot recently while following Dai Liren.
Gong Ruzhi really feels he’s progressing well, but on this visit, he found Dai Liren progressed even more, leaving him astonished.
Gong Ruzhi can’t imagine the growth Dai Liren will have once he starts his own business.
It’s said that entrepreneurship brings greater progress, and if missed this time, Gong Ruzhi believes he’d regret it immensely.
It’s not just that he has opportunities, in the IT world, the earlier you enter the field, the further you can go.
"You can come after university, and it would be the same." Mei Na sticks firmly to this point.
Hmph, Gong Ruzhi doesn’t care to fight with Mei Na further; to him, his mom now behaves a bit like Grandpa.
Previously, she’d say he’s a senile old man, who could’ve thought his own mom has also started turning a bit senile.
At this moment, Gong Ruzhi is sure his mom is definitely Grandpa’s seed.
He only hopes Uncle won’t become as muddle-headed as Mom or Grandpa, otherwise, there’ll be more trouble for him.
After staring at Cai Meina a few more times, Gong Ruzhi decides not to bother her anymore, stands up to leave the room where his parents are, and heads downstairs.
"Look at this, is this how a son should behave?" Watching the youngest son on the verge of tears, Cai Meina feels a bit regretful.
Xiao Zhi truly had never been this disappointed; could her interference really hinder the son’s future?
But all the regret can’t outweigh watching the son turn around and leave just like that, which angers her.
"Hmph, does he really think bringing in Cai Ming would solve it?"
"I’m the older sister."
"No matter how successful Cai Ming is career-wise, appearing confident outside, he must still respect me as his elder sister."
Cai Meina isn’t bothered by how fearsome she looks now; her mood is bad, the children are unfilial, why should she endure?
Zhan Jing and the others in their respective rooms are feeling helpless, "Why would Mei Na be like this?" Zhan Jing genuinely doesn’t understand.
Being a parent with children and a mother-in-law herself, saying she doesn’t care about her son is untrue, but when the son has people to accompany him in life, is it necessary for parents to fuss?
Zhao Gang flips a page in his book, "Don’t get involved."
"Someone’s been a bit over-inflated lately." Ever since knowing Gong Ruwen would resign and return, Zhao Gang indeed worries about this matter.
He hadn’t expected the brothers Gong Ruwen and Gong Tao to remain unperturbed; instead, Mei Na stirred things up.
