Chapter 1324 - 1326
"Alright, stop looking."
"Be careful, you’re going to twist your neck."
The car has already driven so far, yet this girl is still worried.
"I’m just concerned, I really don’t understand what Gong Ruwen is thinking."
"I finally understand why Gong Ruzhi, despite being a smart kid, often likes to do such foolish things."
"So the Gong brothers are just that foolish."
Gong Ruini expressed that her family not only has a foolish younger brother, but also a deeply hidden foolish older brother.
Is this considering Gong Ruwen also as a fool? Zhao Xuran laughed, but thinking of the thoughts that just slipped from Gong Ruwen’s mouth, he really felt embarrassed to explain on his good brother’s behalf.
"Yeah, I think my brother is really out of options this time."
Which woman’s temper can be so good, just clashing with her mother-in-law, causing all sorts of unpleasantness.
The man who has always supported her, then says he plans to stay long-term in Yangcheng, thousands of miles away.
These days, even with airplanes, it still takes a long time to fly. No matter how busy Gong Ruwen was with work before, they could still schedule dates at home.
But now, Gong Ruini really can’t imagine how a long-distance relationship like this will work out.
"I bet my mom will be overjoyed when she sees this." Even though Cai Meina hasn’t said anything these days, from her displeased looks towards Chu Ling,
Gong Ruini deeply feels Cai Meina’s dislike for Chu Ling, maybe thinking it’s because of Chu Ling that Gong Ruwen and Gong Ruzhi both have such a bad attitude towards her.
"Don’t worry, no matter how happy Aunt Cai is, she wouldn’t approve of your brother and Chu Ling breaking up." Zhao Xuran was very sure of this.
It’s strange, today Zhao Xuran was actually speaking positively about Cai Meina, which is really unusual.
Don’t be fooled by how Zhao Xuran hasn’t expressed much of his stance amidst this turmoil, if someone who is usually so gentle, always trying to mediate, not letting the atmosphere spoil, doesn’t speak up to help a bit, it means he has significant opinions about Cai Meina.
Even though when they meet, he still warmly calls out "Aunt, Aunt," Gong Ruini can sense the underlying distance.
Did Cai Meina talk to Zhao Xuran about something? Or did Zhan Jing discuss something with him?
After all, if things don’t ease up, and everyone’s emotions keep developing like this, likely Zhan Jing and her husband would want to leave quickly and return to the country.
They came to the United States this time not only to attend Zhao Guangran’s graduation ceremony but also hoping to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the United States and find a good opportunity to make money.
"It’s not that Aunt talked to me, nor my mom." Growing up together, just a look from Gong Ruini and Zhao Xuran knew what she was thinking.
Ha, it’s not them? "Did you come up with it yourself?"
"Don’t you know, Aunt Cai absolutely likes Chu Ling, even though the Chu family said those words, the title of son-in-law to the Chu family, your brother has it."
"And those people from the Chu family have opinions about Ruwen, they think that he’s going into politics and will rely on the Chu family’s influence."
"Now they’re supporting Ruwen, helping his business to thrive in various ways, actually making your brother even more profitable."
Alright, Gong Ruini never really wanted to get involved in these schemes, "So you mean my mom is looking at it from a benefits perspective."
Sigh, even though it’s somewhat tacky, the problem is that with someone as proud as Chu Ling knowing, how would she feel?
Back then, the family gave off the impression of wealth, but in the eyes of the Chu family’s social standing, it really came up short.
"Don’t worry." Waiting at a red light, Zhao Xuran freed a hand to pat Gong Ruini’s head.
This girl really worries too much about these things, "Let Xiao Zhi handle his own matters."
These days, with all of Gong Ruzhi’s antics, Zhao Xuran wouldn’t say he has no opinion.
After all, even when under the same roof with his wife, all her attention is on that kid Gong Ruzhi.
Even rare moments of privacy without anyone disturbing, she talks about Gong Ruzhi.
If he wasn’t worried about his wife walking out on him, he’d really want to say to someone so grown-up, earning money already, who has a clear idea of his future path, can’t he think things through a bit?
"Look at Guangran, from when he was with Cao Na to breaking up with Cao Na, all the struggles he went through, so what?"
Zhao Xuran reiterated that if their child grows up and causes this kind of fuss, he absolutely won’t be polite.
"That, that." Hmph, is she trying to say she and Gong Ruwen are all too soft-hearted, don’t be silly, how old was Zhao Guangran then, how old is Gong Ruzhi now.
"Don’t mention age, at least when Guangran was Xiao Zhi’s age, he would fight hard for what he wanted."
"Xiao Zhi also fights hard, but when faced with problems, he doesn’t want to confront them, instead pushing everything onto you and Ruwen." Zhao Xuran spoke before Gong Ruini could.
"Count yourself how many times this has happened." Before, Zhao Xuran thought since Gong Ruzhi was a kid, he couldn’t have high expectations.
But now he truly regrets it, "If you continue to meddle this time and give him any advice, he’ll get used to whenever he encounters problems he can’t handle, expecting you to figure it out."
Zhao Xuran refuses to believe that the idea of staying in New York for studies and flying to meet Dai Liren during holidays hasn’t crossed Gong Ruzhi’s mind.
Zhao Xuran could bet if things escalate, that brat Gong Ruzhi would suggest such an idea.
Just never expected Gong Ruwen to voluntarily bring it up, now how would that kid Gong Ruzhi not be proud?
No way, Gong Ruini was taken aback by Zhao Xuran’s speculation, "Xuran, you.."
But they’re family, how could they calculate like this?
Gong Ruini isn’t incapable of scheming, but she’d rather focus her strategizing on outsiders instead. Returning home, she truly doesn’t want to think about these things, it’s just too exhausting.
Unexpectedly hearing that Gong Ruzhi would calculate like this really frustrates Gong Ruini.
"Think for yourself." Seeing Gong Ruini’s flushed face, Zhao Xuran’s tone was calm.
This isn’t the time to argue about this and that with Gong Ruini, especially when these things are blatantly evident.
Why does Gong Ruini refuse to acknowledge it, refuse to think deeply; it’s because Gong Ruzhi has been too troublesome lately, plus she’d never expect that such a young Gong Ruzhi would do this.
Thinking for herself, Gong Ruini couldn’t help but smile wryly, there were things she sensed were off but consistently chose to overlook or ignore.
Especially when even Gong Ruwen hadn’t brought it up, Gong Ruini comfortably assured herself, attributing it all to her overactive imagination.
Now, however, with Zhao Xuran laying it all bare, Gong Ruini truly doesn’t know what to do—apart from feeling panicked, just panicked.
