Chapter 1329 - 1331
Dai Limin truly felt as awkward as possible.
Looking at Cai Meina’s apology, he really couldn’t feel much sincerity from her.
However, Dai Limin didn’t mind. If Cai Ming hadn’t rushed to the United States, this matter would probably have continued in a cold war.
As parents will always have all kinds of worries about their children, that’s completely normal. "Auntie, don’t worry; I won’t let Gong Ruzhi go to any messy places."
"As long as Xiao Zhi is with me, I’ll report to you every day."
"And I’ll set a curfew for Xiao Zhi; he must be home by a certain time."
No matter what Cai Meina felt inside, Dai Limin certainly needed to show his stance.
Cai Meina might have had a lot of dissatisfaction in her heart, but after Cai Ming had a discussion, he just went ahead and announced to the public that she agreed for Gong Ruzhi to study in the United States at the start of the school year.
Though Cai Meina felt a mix of frustration inside, she couldn’t rush out and claim Cai Ming was misrepresenting her idea.
After all, he is her brother; she couldn’t bear to do that.
More importantly, Cai Meina admitted that Cai Ming’s words were correct—that leaving Xiao Zhi in the United States would help him grow up faster.
With them back in the United States, although Xiao Zhi would have a comfortable study environment, it could greatly affect his future achievements.
"Alright, thank you, Little Dai."
"I really apologize for before." Cai Meina was genuinely apologetic.
If previously she was apologizing just because of pressure from Cai Ming and the others, now Cai Meina’s words truly were as sincere as could be.
"No worries, no worries, I actually quite envy Xiao Zhi." Although they say that in wealthy families, there are no lack of internal battles, the Dai Family didn’t show signs of chaos due to the family values and the elders keeping things in check.
Dai Liren had heard plenty about families he knew having disputes over a bit of resources.
Looking back at Zhao Xuran and the others, although many surnames gathered together, they had cooperated for so many years without any of these jokes happening.
Including Gong Ruwen, who originally was heading down the career path, yet abandoned the kingdom he’d painstakingly built over the years, returning to the family.
Originally, Gong Ruzhi, cultivated as a full-fledged successor, suddenly lost his inheritance rights, which in many families, would lead to unhappiness.
But Gong Ruzhi quickly found his new development path.
At this point, Cai Ming’s smile was so genuine; the awkwardness of Cai Meina earlier was really just too insincere.
There were a few times Cai Ming genuinely worried that Dai Liren might jump out and say something—but surprisingly, this kid truly had emotional intelligence.
Look, just a couple of words made his sister sincerely apologize.
What a talent! With Xiao Zhi learning from such a senior and brother, he surely could learn a lot.
The apology was concluded; next was the reckoning for Gong Ruzhi.
That wasn’t something Dai Liren could participate in, and he’d already learned a bit about what Gong Ruzhi had done from Zhao Guangran.
Although Dai Liren was hoping Gong Ruzhi could collaborate with him, it didn’t mean he wholly agreed with Gong Ruzhi’s actions.
In his perspective, if one wanted to stay in the United States, they could slowly discuss it with their parents—even if it required some tactics—but these tactics were certainly not ones Dai Liren would advocate.
Dai Liren withdrew, and although Zhao Guangran wanted to eavesdrop, he couldn’t withstand his parents’ constant signaling him to leave.
Reluctantly, Zhao Guangran had to head to the restaurant, thankful he didn’t go to his room—otherwise, with the soundproofing material he deliberately added during renovations, he definitely wouldn’t hear a thing from the living room.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he reached the restaurant, he heard Dai Liren’s excited voice, "You said Little Min was coming?"
Little Min sounded familiar; Zhao Guangran scratched his ears. "Dai Limin?"
For Dai Liren, who was usually so cold-hearted, to be this excited, it must be his family.
But wasn’t it said that Dai Limin was someone who liked to play? Wasn’t his academic performance poor?
What’s someone like that doing coming to the United States? How would he get through customs?
"You don’t know?" Zhao Xuran was also shocked to see Dai Liren’s surprised expression.
No way, did this kid not notify his brother? Oh my goodness, what to do now.
Zhao Xuran suddenly panicked, unsure of what to do.
Dai Liren shook his head, "I don’t know, what’s this kid planning to do in the United States?"
"I asked him before—if he was coming to the United States, to come for my graduation ceremony."
The fire in Dai Liren, although Zhao Xuran and the others attended his graduation ceremony, was something he’d remember vividly.
Yet those were his good buddy’s family, not his own family—parents and brother couldn’t come due to being busy, which Dai Liren understood.
But what was Dai Limin doing in Beijing besides fooling around?
"What’s he here in the United States for this time?" Dai Liren eagerly looked at Zhao Xuran.
Hmm, if this kid’s explanation is convincing, Dai Liren said he might let it slide, letting the graduation ceremony matter pass.
But if the explanation isn’t enough, then he’s definitely not the kind one should mess with.
Not sure about this either? Can’t be, Rui Ni really wanted to blurt out—weren’t you here to discuss investment matters?
Could it be that Dai Liren didn’t intend to bring his brother into the investment business?
"Well, I don’t know." Zhao Xuran certainly wasn’t dumb; initially, Dai Limin had briefly mentioned it, though perhaps he’d long since forgotten about it.
"Maybe he’s just coming to the United States to have fun." Right! Just to have fun; Zhao Xuran recalled Dai Limin complaining about how Beijing didn’t have as many fun places as Yangcheng.
Maybe now this wealthy young master, under the guise of visiting Dai Liren, just wanted to have a good time in the United States—it’s quite possible.
Coming to the United States to have fun? Dai Liren was about to be driven mad by this brother.
"What time is his flight; I’ll go pick him up." Back here, even if Dai Liren wanted to reprimand his brother, it wasn’t possible.
Better if he goes to the airport to pick him up, "Didn’t he want to surprise me?"
"Well, I’ll give him a surprise too."
"I’ve been here for three years, and although there have been photos, I haven’t seen the actual person excitedly."
My goodness, although Dai Liren spoke of his hope to see Dai Limin soon, the undertone of hostility truly startled Gong Ruini.
Gong Ruini could already imagine Dai Limin the drama king, emerging from the airport only to see his brother picking him up, that surprise—and possibly even having his jaw drop.
But Dai Limin didn’t inform his brother, only Zhao Xuran—this matter couldn’t be resolved easily.
"Rest assured, he knows his fate." If he truly came just to play in the United States, then with that kid’s thick skin, how could not knowing English matter? He’d still end up having various adventures.
Though he hadn’t informed him, he notified Zhao Xuran—which was essentially to let his brother know some bits.
It seems this brother really has some matters this time, but what’s appropriate, Dai Liren couldn’t guess.
