Back to the 70s: My Childhood Sweetheart Spoils Me Rotten

Chapter 643 - 645: This Is a Good Buddy



Chapter 643 - 645: This Is a Good Buddy

Looking at the two newly appeared national treasures at the dining table, Renee Gong was quite puzzled.

It’s not surprising to see such an expression on Zhao Guangran’s face; after all, he happened to run into trouble yesterday.

So after a good lesson from Zhao Xuran, Renee Gong felt quite happy. It’s said that the kid went back and burned the midnight oil.

Sometimes, people really need a bit of pressure, otherwise, they don’t know how to move forward.

"Brother Xiao Ming, didn’t you rest well yesterday?" Could it be that Zhao Guangran stayed up all night reading, leaving him unable to sleep properly?

Rest? Even Jia Ming Gong felt like the sky looked so gray, "Oh, why hasn’t dad left yet?"

If only dad had taken them away earlier, none of this would have happened. But now, he’s run into yet another unavoidable trouble.

Regret, such regret, actually dad had reasons he couldn’t leave. They could’ve gone back; wasn’t their elder sister still there? They traveled all the way from the South to Beijing, and then to the Northeast, and then back to Beijing.

Such a long journey, all sorted out; it’s unreasonable to think they couldn’t handle a return.

Rest well? Don’t think it’s because Zhao Guangran was just trying to push him by giving troublesome tasks. But after putting the book down, he slept like a log.

Even though he had dark circles, it was because he read too late. As for the one next to him, it should be because he didn’t rest well last night. "Brother, I talked to Xiao Ming about it when I went back yesterday. He thinks it’s nice and wants to join. I agreed."

Zhao Guangran wouldn’t foolishly say he was forced. His brother would only care about the Gong Family, but that was limited to Gong Ruwen and Renee Gong, and maybe Gong Ruzhi in the future. As for Jia Ming Gong and Jiaxin Gong, his brother wouldn’t bother; he doesn’t have the heart for that. But if it’s voluntary, and Renee Gong has face, his brother definitely wouldn’t object.

No way, Renee Gong didn’t expect things to reach this point. She had considered it before but figured everyone had different goals, plus how mischievous Jia Ming Gong was; it wasn’t her business, and she was even more unwilling to do such a foolish thing.

Who would’ve thought that stupid Zhao Guangran would actually speak out and even rope in people? Someone like him is wasted if he doesn’t end up in some multi-level marketing scheme later on.

No, actually he should be a lawyer; such eloquence might make him flourish in the legal circle.

"I, I." Jia Ming Gong was actually thinking of getting the agreement verbally and then dropping it once they went back. Who knew Zhao Guangran would spill it?

Jia Ming Gong felt it was all malice. Clearly, he hadn’t done anything, yet everyone seemed to target him, "I, I..."

No, he can’t just jump into this pit like that; he’s not stupid. Once it’s settled, Renee Gong will surely tell dad.

Once dad knows, he’d certainly urge him to complete it in every way. Jia Ming Gong really regretted selling himself out for a big red envelope.

He didn’t even know how much this so-called big red envelope was, and he dared to agree to it. The more Jia Ming Gong thought, the more he felt like an idiot, and in this point, Zhao Guangran wasn’t wrong.

Seeing he’s an idiot, it’s more reason not to jump in. "My grades aren’t good enough; I need to study hard."

"I need to improve my grades. Although reading a book weekly and writing a reflection isn’t bad, I can’t." Jia Ming Gong’s point was clear: he wanted to spend his time reading books.

Ah, reading a book weekly and writing a reflection? Jiaxin Gong, while eating, couldn’t understand why her brother or Zhao Guangran would even have such a task. As for their own brother, it must be Zhao Guangran attempting to drag him into the pit.

Jiaxin Gong truly didn’t understand; they’re students, and future tasks are important. How is there still time for these extracurricular books?

Don’t understand, really don’t understand, "Isn’t this a big delay for reading time?" Jiaxin Gong knew Renee Gong would read these books, but Renee Gong’s grades were good, unlike theirs.

Wasting time meant for textbooks? "Time can be squeezed out. If you can’t finish a book in a week, start with a thinner one, and then write a reflection weekly. Your essays will improve."

As for writing essays poorly, there really aren’t any tricks to enhance essay grades. "Reading more and writing more, essays aren’t actually hard."

Jia Ming Gong wanted to sneer, thinking his essays weren’t good—but had he not written enough? But he couldn’t complain because he knew Renee Gong’s essays were genuinely good.

Is this the secret? Should he write like this in the future? Jia Ming Gong was feeling unsure and could only look to Jiaxin Gong for help.

As for his good friend Zhao Guangran, Jia Ming Gong didn’t look his way. This kid had just set him up; if he hadn’t spoken up bravely, he would’ve fallen into the trap.

"I think it’s workable." Jiaxin Gong admitted that what Renee Gong said about squeezing time is quite right. Even if they focus on reading after going back, would they really be so busy that they had no spare time?

Not to mention that Renee Gong wouldn’t believe it, even they, the parties involved, wouldn’t believe it, "But I can only manage one book every two weeks."

Ah, no way, Jia Ming Gong looked incredulously at Jiaxin Gong—his own sister, who knew well that he didn’t want to read those books or write more. Agreed, not knowing it would make things hard for him?

"Any issues?" Although it was indirectly, everyone knew it was directed at Jia Ming Gong.

How could Jia Ming Gong dare voice his thoughts? He’s not stupid, shaking his head helplessly, "I have no objections."

"But, I can only manage one every two weeks." Jia Ming Gong agreed helplessly, realizing why Zhao Guangran was so eagerly reading books. It was to trouble Ni Zi, but ended up being fooled by Zhao Xu and Renee Gong.

If he’d known Zhao Guangran was seeking trouble with Ni Zi, he would’ve definitely stopped him. Otherwise, none of these troubles would’ve arisen, but now it’s too late to regret, and he can only bear the result quietly.

However, he couldn’t let Zhao Guangran off easily, "Brother Xu Ran, my sister and I write reflections, so why does Brother Guangran get to dictate? It’s not fair."

Jia Ming Gong doesn’t ask for much, just fairness, and he’s confident about achieving that.

Zhao Guangran was dumbfounded. He intended to find scapegoats but got caught just as soon as he betrayed someone. Sigh, regret!
