Chapter 1359 - 1361
Gong Ruwen listened quietly throughout, and finally called Gong Jiaming aside, and the two brothers talked for a long time.
After that, Gong Ruini knew that Gong Ruwen had also talked to Dai Limin for a long time, but as for what they discussed, Gong Ruini had no idea.
But she was sure that since that time, Dai Limin has become much more serious.
"Bro, what did you say to Dai Limin?" Gong Ruini thought for a long time but couldn’t think what her big brother would talk to Dai Limin about.
Was it criticism or encouragement? More importantly, it seemed to make Gong Ruini feel that he had become much more stable.
How could Gong Ruwen tell Gong Ruini, "Can’t say, can’t say."
"In any case, the effect is good." Gong Ruwen was quite happy to see that Dai Limin was no longer as confused as before.
"Please, tell me." Gong Ruini was really curious.
Gong Ruwen figured if he didn’t clarify today, no one present would let him off.
"I didn’t say anything to him, I just told him a bit about Jiaxin’s situation."
Was saying this intended to provoke someone? Fortunately, Dai Limin cares about face; if it were someone shameless thinking a wealthy girlfriend means they don’t have to work hard, how would Zhao Guangran handle it?
"He said he would work hard, and he plans to study in the United States in two years." Zhao Guangran wondered if Dai Limin was just talking or really planning to do this.
Dai Limin intending to study in the United States? Really? Gong Ruini was startled by Zhao Guangran’s words.
Even though this guy went to college, his grades seemed not that great, especially considering that coming to the United States would require studying in English; could he really manage it?
Could this be so-called love’s magical power? Gong Ruini wanted to give a thumbs up, indicating she’s impressed with Dai Limin.
"If he genuinely has the courage to study in the United States and can earn a degree, he truly would be someone remarkable." Although Zhao Xuran wasn’t too optimistic, sometimes pressure can create motivation.
"Even if he really goes to study in the United States, I bet many people wouldn’t believe it." Gong Ruini imagined the bombshell of this news exploding — who knows how many people would be stunned.
"Mostly people are waiting to laugh at him, right?" Zhao Guangran glanced at someone smoking on the balcony, suddenly feeling that guy actually had a lot in common with him.
They’re both overshadowed by their brothers’ brilliance, "Perhaps he’ll bring everyone a big surprise."
A surprise? For the Dai family, it might be a surprise, but for others, it’s not a surprise — it’s shock.
"If our family were to align with the Dai family, how do you think they’d react?" Gong Ruwen genuinely wanted to know how everyone would talk about that kid once the news returned home.
What would they think? "They’d be anxious."
"Wouldn’t they think we’re shameless, pushing the only girl without a partner in the family out there?"
"They’d analyze that we’re just becoming the Dai family’s money bags."
"Perhaps they’d discuss when they’ll break up."
Back then, when Chu Ling got together with Gong Ruwen, that’s exactly what people were saying — absolutely nothing nice, Gong Ruini took the opportunity to reminisce.
Listening to these words, Gong Ruwen felt a sense of familiarity but couldn’t remember where he heard it before.
"Didn’t those people say these things to ridicule Rui Wen back then?" Zhao Guangran remembered clearly.
Not because his memory is particularly good, but because when these words surfaced, he was the one who went to check.
Especially those speaking them came from families they were fairly close with, which infuriated Zhao Guangran, but also made him mature a lot.
Ah, were these the discussions about him back then? Gong Ruwen long stopped remembering those words, "Years pass, everything progresses, can’t just always say those couple of lines."
"There has been progress, but at heart, their intention is still the same — to look down on us and wait for us to provide amusement." Zhao Guangran was very clear about that.
"So I told Dai Limin, if he doesn’t become someone worth respecting, he shouldn’t expect to pursue Jiaxin." Zhao Guangran doesn’t care about how people evaluate Dai Limin.
Even if people inherently look down on Dai Limin, thinking he’s just a slacker, they couldn’t possibly say outright that Dai Limin is bad, right?
Give them eighteen sets of guts, they wouldn’t dare speak so openly.
Become someone respectable? "Aren’t you worried that if Dai Limin truly becomes respectable, someone might make a move against him?" Dai Limin has always been quite popular.
Even if he’s thought to be a rogue, being part of the Dai family, especially with close ties to Dai Lidong and Dai Liren, he still has strong backing; how could they neglect his well-being?
Worry about these things? Zhao Guangran never saw them as issues, "If Dai Limin truly becomes respectable, having new targets would actually be a good thing."
"At least Jiaxin wouldn’t suffer." After all, in Zhao Guangran’s eyes, Dai Limin being able to pursue Gong Jiaxin means he’s fortunate.
"Our family’s Jiaxin is amazing, Rui Wen, you don’t know, but Jiaxin is truly popular in the United States."
Zhao Guangran noticed that although Dai Limin hadn’t entered the room, he no longer leaned on the balcony railing but drew a bit closer to the living room.
Such an unsavvy guy — if he wanted to hear these things, why not come inside? Instead, he chose to lurk outside.
But it’s okay; let’s pretend we don’t know your little actions, "My college classmates, upon meeting Jiaxin, always circled around me, hoping I’d introduce them."
Of course, those people are unreliable, only thinking about having fun; with such men, Zhao Guangran wouldn’t introduce them.
"Jiaming, am I wrong?" Zhao Guangran suddenly asked Gong Jiaming.
The latter nodded, "Yeah, they all said she has the features of an Oriental woman while also being very outgoing."
"But I didn’t agree; they aren’t worthy of my sister."
"My sister deserves the best."
Gong Jiaming rubbed his head, perhaps thinking the next words weren’t so great, but he still wanted to say them, "My requirement for my sister’s husband is that he be like my brother-in-law."
"No way." Dai Limin was stunned on the balcony upon hearing Gong Jiaming’s requirements for his brother-in-law.
He knew Gong Jiaming wasn’t very satisfied with him and had his own requirements and thoughts about a brother-in-law, but Dai Limin thought he wasn’t too far off.
Unexpectedly, Gong Jiaming would set such high expectations, scaring him considerably.
In the entire country, how many can compare to Zhao Xuran?
At his age, surpassing Zhao Xuran is no ordinary challenge.
Dai Limin was troubled, initially planning to study hard in the United States and gradually start his career, only to realize in Gong Jiaming’s eyes, this pace was still a bit slow.
"Right, that’s how it should be." Zhao Guangran knew Gong Jiaming absolutely admired his brother, never expecting he’d set such high requirements for a brother-in-law.
His gaze involuntarily drifted to the balcony, unsurprisingly spotting someone’s stiff back, haha, definitely scared Dai Limin a great deal.
Not bad, not bad, Zhao Guangran gave Gong Jiaming a thumbs up; sometimes you just have to cooperate like this.
Precisely coordinated, Zhao Guangran thinks Gong Jiaming wouldn’t foolishly have such high standards for a brother-in-law, otherwise, Gong Jiaxin remaining single would be more likely.
"I’m serious." Gong Jiaming reiterated, he really wasn’t being courteous.
Ahhhh, no way, Zhao Guangran was stunned, looking at Gong Jiaming with surprise.
