Chapter 1357 - 1359
Zhao Guangran drove Gong Jiaxin to the airport, and being her real brother, Gong Jiaming, naturally had to go.
As for Dai Limin, he also insisted on going, crying and whining in every imaginable way, which made Zhao Guangran despise him for being so shamelessly unreasonable.
But there was nothing Zhao Guangran could do but agree; however, he rated Dai Limin very low in his heart.
This guy is truly shameless; he’ll do anything disgraceful to pursue Gong Jiaxin now, and if anything changes in the future, this dude is sure to cross even more lines.
Gong Ruwen watched Dai Limin happily trot downstairs to see Gong Jiaxin off, thinking, "I couldn’t tell this guy would be so enthusiastic."
"It seems he’s getting along well with Guangran and the others now." Gong Ruwen was relieved; previously, he was worried when Gong Ruini told him how Zhao Guangran bullied Dai Limin.
Even if Zhao Guangran’s actions weren’t reckless, Dai Limin is a prideful person; he won’t like being lectured.
What if the young master’s temper flares up? Thank goodness!
"Getting along well? He likes Sister Jiaxin," Gong Ruini really couldn’t stand seeing Dai Limin looking as dumb as possible.
In the past, Dai Limin was so proud, with girls all around him, but now he’s actually revolving around Gong Jiaxin.
Thinking about Dai Limin’s former demeanor, Gong Ruini had to laugh; indeed, such a scene is truly rare.
"Ah, no way." Gong Ruwen was startled by what Gong Ruini just said.
Gong Jiaxin and Dai Limin? He couldn’t see them together.
"Are you saying Dai Limin likes Jiaxin?" Gong Ruwen kept recalling the rumors about Dai Limin’s so-called girlfriends.
Of course, he didn’t know most of them, but there were a few he remembered, and they were nowhere near Gong Jiaxin.
"I remember the Dai family doesn’t really advocate for arranged marriages, but some did marry into prominent families." Gong Ruwen knew this.
"Dai Limin clearly isn’t someone with prospects in the Dai family, so at least marrying a wife who helps would be necessary." Not saying he must become the core figure in the Dai family, but he cannot be too mediocre, right?
Wait a minute, Gong Ruwen suddenly thought of a possibility that frightened him quite a bit.
"Could it be that he knows his career prospects are limited, so he plans to find a wealthy wife?" Although the major assets of Gong Zhuang would go to Gong Jiaming.
Gong Jiaxin also has her own businesses, not that she has tons of money, but certainly more than many peers her age.
It’s quite normal for Dai Limin to fancy Gong Jiaxin, "If that’s really the case, it’s really not okay."
Being with Gong Jiaxin for money would be incredibly disappointing.
In this case? Gong Ruini never thought so much; previously, when wondering why Dai Limin liked Gong Jiaxin, she simply thought he was asking for it.
Liking a woman who would hit him, "But he also has money." Gong Ruini didn’t think Dai Limin would be like this, given his pride.
However, Gong Ruini didn’t think she understood Dai Limin deeply, even though they spent considerable time together now, truly getting to know someone well is quite difficult.
"Even if he’s wealthy, is he wealthier than Gong Jiaxin?" Gong Ruwen scoffed unkindly. "Are you aware of the shares Gong Jiaxin holds?"
"They’re in thriving industries; the annual dividends alone ensure a good life, not to mention that Gong Jiaxin is capable." Gong Ruwen admitted he might be thinking negatively about Dai Limin.
"For certain matters, I prefer laying out the bad side first; if I’m wrong, no harm done, it’s better than regretting later."
Gong Ruini responded with a simple ’mm’.
Zhao Xuran didn’t express an opinion on this matter, back when he was with Gong Ruini, Gong Ruwen, the big brother-in-law, didn’t criticize him.
Although his disapproval wasn’t as overt as now, being the brother of the woman always allows for some critique.
Asking, even as good as he was, Gong Ruwen could find faults; what more for someone like Dai Limin who inherently has issues.
"Let’s stop discussing it; once Jiaxin arrives in France, I’ll talk to her about it." Gong Ruwen wasn’t as carefree as Gong Ruini.
"Whether it’s Dai Limin or these so-called foreigners, they must maintain enough distance; otherwise, tears will be shed later." Gong Ruwen decisively concluded.
His words carried weight and authority, and Gong Ruini absolutely admired her big brother, but she had to ask.
"Big Brother, you criticize Dai Limin like this; I’m curious, how did Sister-in-law’s brothers treat you when you first visited the Chu family?"
"Were you given a hard time?" Because how could her usually gentle Gong Ruwen suddenly become like this otherwise?
"Oh, you little rascal." Gong Ruwen was startled by Gong Ruini’s blunt words.
He glared at Gong Ruini disapprovingly. If it were Gong Ruzhi or others, Gong Ruwen would have denied things to save face.
But with Gong Ruini, Gong Ruwen really couldn’t shake his head and say it wasn’t so, "The big brother-in-law’s disdain toward the brother-in-law is truly to let him know that the girl they love is living comfortably at home."
"Rather than raising a girl to be a maid for some unrelated man." Gong Ruwen said with authority, of course, while glancing at Zhao Xuran.
Zhao Xuran really wanted to cry; how did this matter involve him, what did he do?
However, Gong Ruwen’s emotions weren’t stable at the moment; saying anything that made him unhappy would make him even angrier.
"Ruiwen, when Dai Limin returns, you can talk to him and then vigorously teach him a lesson." Zhao Xuran suddenly had a good suggestion.
Talk to Dai Limin? Gong Ruwen sneered, "Who does he think he is, that he demands I take the initiative? Don’t even think about it."
Some matters he wasn’t in a rush for; if someone truly cares, he would absolutely take concern in the issue, and then would take the initiative to talk.
Let Dai Limin approach Gong Ruwen on his own? Gong Ruini felt tired; these two were both stubborn people.
"Moreover, he wants to pursue Gong Jiaxin; he must show his sincerity." Otherwise, such staging effects can never be taken seriously.
Zhao Xuran grabbed Gong Ruini’s hand, relieved, "Thank goodness I acted early."
Otherwise, if he spoke after Dai Limin, considering the already sour mood, Gong Ruwen might have done who knows what to him.
Hearing this, Gong Ruini felt dissatisfied; what did he mean by that, was he happy that he avoided a disaster?
Thinking back to when Gong Ruwen learned they were together, he must have been super unhappy inside, yet unsure how to express his brother-in-law stance.
"Whether you acted early or not doesn’t matter." Gong Ruwen countered, "I know you well, but I don’t know Dai Limin."
"Even if some things are vilifying him, if he hadn’t been careless himself, would people have found chances?" Dai Limin’s reputation being like this, Gong Ruwen didn’t want to say those behind the scenes were excessive, but at least Dai Limin was careless himself.
"I really consider myself lucky." Zhao Xuran was delighted, see, his character was impeccable, and his brother-in-law is incredibly supportive.
"Take good care of Ni Zi."
"Then, make sure to keep watch over Gong Jiaxin’s affairs." Although Gong Jiaming is her real brother, Gong Ruwen doesn’t think he is a match for him.
