Chapter 1387 - 1389:
The joyful vacation is just so short. No matter how much Gong Ruini doesn’t want to leave, they still have to return to the United States.
Gong Ruzhi isn’t exactly looking forward to going back to New York either; being able to play here every day is quite fun.
Especially one day when he saw someone surfing, he started following them every day.
Playing is one thing, but he’s gotten so good at it that Gong Ruini is incredibly jealous.
"Alright, if you don’t go back soon, I’m worried you’ll become Black." Though his skin isn’t exactly white, it’s not this dark.
Gong Ruini looked at her brother’s dark skin with utter disgust, almost unable to bear looking at it.
"That’s discrimination," Gong Ruzhi sternly pointed out the error in Gong Ruini’s words.
"Sister, you really need to be careful. If someone hears that, it could spell big trouble." Understanding that his sister is used to speaking this way, it’s not meant seriously.
But if a Black person hears these words, it could definitely cause some issues, Gong Ruzhi reminded again.
Sigh, what a sensitive child. How could she not understand these things?
Racial discrimination is a major issue in later generations. Although it’s not as severe now, you’d never know how a Black person might react.
Gong Ruini doesn’t want any confrontations with Black people, especially here, where their status is higher than the Chinese.
"Thanks." Seeing her brother’s uneasy and worried expression, Gong Ruini reached out to ruffle his hair. "You worry too much."
Such a kid. Am I really so brainless?
Zhao Guangran felt today’s weather was wonderful, carrying his perfectly packed suitcase out.
"Hello, Ni Zi." Zhao Guangran had been quite worried about seeing Gong Ruini today, fearing she might retaliate, but now, why should he worry?
He’s about to fly to Japan; even if Gong Ruini is still mad at him, it’s not like she’s going to fly to Japan to teach him a lesson.
Once he finishes his business in Japan and returns to the United States, he’ll be a big hero, bringing lots of money to his family.
Not to mention how they might worship him, or throw a grand celebration party, at least they won’t be targeting him anymore.
Humph, calling her Ni Zi, Gong Ruini shot several disapproving looks his way.
She doesn’t understand what Zhao Guangran has been up to these past few days. "Yo, isn’t this our financial genius?"
"I heard you’ve been shutting yourself in for intense practice. Seems your efforts paid off."
Gong Ruini glanced up and down at Zhao Guangran, even pointing her finger here and there on his body, accompanied by constant tut-tutting sounds, which made the latter feel all sorts of uneasy.
"What’s wrong?" Zhao Guangran kept trying to dodge Gong Ruini’s pointing finger, asking for mercy—he’s a respectable man, how can he tolerate such teasing?
Even if she’s his childhood playmate and sister-in-law, she shouldn’t bully him like this.
Scanning around again, he found his elder brother to be absent, "Ah, what’s going on?"
He was genuinely surprised. Normally, wherever Gong Ruini was, his elder brother would be there too, yet today he’s not.
"Where’s my brother?"
"You didn’t have a fight, did you?" Otherwise, why wouldn’t he stand up for her? Clearly, his elder brother will eventually be unable to tolerate Gong Ruini’s mischievous personality.
Indeed, his brother has already begun ignoring someone, and Zhao Guangran couldn’t be happier inside, waiting for the day his brother won’t cover for someone anymore, to see how smug she can be.
"Ah, you brat." Gong Ruini was furious; this guy obviously isn’t good, constantly wishing for her and Zhao Xuran to break up.
"I should never have let your brother go get food for you." Gong Ruini was full of regret.
"I should’ve known better than to see you dislike airplane food and let your brother go buy meals."
"A person like you deserves to go hungry to Japan." Gong Ruini decided that when Zhao Xuran came back with pastries, she’d make sure Zhao Guangran wouldn’t get any.
Buying food for him to take to Japan? Is she that kind-hearted? Zhao Guangran had reservations about Gong Ruini’s words.
"Are you sure it’s for me?" Zhao Guangran hesitated.
"Are you sure it’s not for her?" His brother probably went out to buy delicious pastries, but more likely for Gong Ruini to eat.
As for himself, while Zhao Guangran didn’t want to admit how much he’s been suffering, some things are facts he can’t just deny.
Ah, she’s really angry now. Gong Ruini directly went for him, "You deserve a beating."
"I’m kind enough to get food for you, and this is your attitude?" Humph, even though Zhao Xuran went out to buy food, he genuinely wanted Gong Ruini to have something to eat on the plane.
But Zhao Xuran will surely buy pastries Zhao Guangran likes to eat, "When the pastries come back, you won’t have a share."
Gong Ruini angrily pulled Gong Ruzhi to the side, "You saw that, right, brother? You can’t be like someone in the future."
When Gong Ruini mentioned ’someone,’ she unapologetically fired sharp looks in that direction.
Zhao Guangran was feeling helpless; who’d have thought Gong Ruini would consider him at all? Of course, even if her brother considered him and bought him delicious pastries, upon coming back, he’d definitely say Gong Ruini thought of it.
His brother was just that thoughtful. As for Gong Ruini, although she’s quite mature, her childish behavior is truly beyond what others can handle.
"Alright, my bad." Zhao Guangran couldn’t do much except admit fault; certainly, one can’t expect Gong Ruini to acknowledge a mistake.
"Humph, admitting the mistake is good enough." Gong Ruini grumbled, this time it really was her idea.
According to Zhao Xuran’s mindset, hasn’t this guy gone on enough business trips and flown enough for long?
He’s absolutely adapted to flying more than anyone, especially when flying from Hawaii to Japan doesn’t take that long.
Could he not endure unpleasant meals for a bit? If a man can’t handle even this minor hardship, what’s the use of achieving fame?
Fine, Gong Ruini knew Zhao Xuran was angry at Zhao Guangran; otherwise, given his brother’s usual protective nature, he’d never say such things.
The problem is, Gong Ruini didn’t know why Zhao Xuran would be angry with Zhao Guangran. Is it because of that thing still unresolved?
Though obviously he vented a little, Gong Ruini didn’t understand, nor dared to ask further.
If the blame somehow got redirected to her, what was she supposed to do? Gong Ruini didn’t want to suffer again.
Ah, this time coming to the United States really was quite crazy; Gong Ruini felt utterly exhausted.
The views in Hawaii are great, but after carefully calculating, Gong Ruini realized she hadn’t actually seen much of Hawaii.
Essentially, she barely roamed around the villa’s vicinity and took one boat trip out to sea, but is this interesting?
Is there a difference from vacationing in New York? Gong Ruini felt no.
Of course, there was a difference—at least not forcing her to do home chores.
Talking about house chores, Gong Ruini wanted to cry; once back home, who knows how long she’d need to clean up, it really drove her crazy.
