Chapter 519: Chapter 519 Target
With a displeased look in her eyes, Zhuge Mingshan glared fiercely at Gong Ruini, who felt it immediately and looked up to see a girl who appeared halfway decent staring aggressively at her.
Geez, she just arrived here today, why would anyone look at her like that, what’s going on?
Could she possibly be interested in Zhao Xuran? Hmph, do you really think that just because you have your eye on Zhao Xuran, we have to let you have him?
Gong Ruini hooked her arm around Zhao Xuran and glared fiercely at Zhuge Mingshan.
Zhao Xuran had been holding onto Zhao Guangran, repeatedly advising him, truly worried that Zhao Guangran might impulsively do something reckless.
They had just rejected Teacher Wu, and who knows what might happen, especially when they brushed past each other, Zhao Xuran felt a malicious aura emanating from the other person.
Zhao Xuran didn’t really believe that this person would truly be as harmless as she claimed, so it was better to be cautious.
"Bro, you’re so annoying." Zhao Guangran genuinely didn’t believe she was someone who liked causing trouble; clearly, he was a sensible child too, right?
Before Zhao Guangran could even complain, he noticed his big brother looking in a particular direction, wondering what was going on.
"Hey, that girl is a relative of Grandpa Zhuge’s family." Following his brother’s gaze, Zhao Guangran noticed Zhuge Mingshan’s malicious look that hadn’t retracted.
"There’s really no good people."
"Even the young girl uses such a glaring look; the whole family is just eyeing Grandpa Zhuge’s possessions."
Wanting Zhuge Zhi’s belongings? Gong Ruini knew that Zhuge Zhi’s relationship with his relatives was so-so, but from what Zhao Guangran said, it seemed like there might be more to the story.
It appears that when people get greedy, it really has nothing to do with their background or education; they just follow their heart. "Don’t they have good stuff themselves?"
Gong Ruini remembered Cai Xingjuan mentioning that it seemed Zhuge Zhi’s parents weren’t very fond of their son who studied medicine, hence when they split the inheritance, they didn’t give him much of value, just the house he currently lives in, and nothing more.
The vast Zhuge family’s belongings were supposed to go to Zhuge Zhi’s two brothers, but Gong Ruini was curious if Zhuge Zhi would really just stand by and do nothing if his brother got bullied by others.
"They do have good stuff, but they stupidly contributed them away." Zhao Guangran really felt his teeth hurting; so many good things, it was truly stupidity beyond measure.
Is contributing considered stupid? Gong Ruini glanced at Zhao Guangran, who seemed reluctant to part with those things, and could only think, child, in those times, if you really were reluctant to part with those things, waiting for you could very well be a trip to a place for re-education, perhaps never returning.
"Don’t say such things, you’re not allowed to say this in front of Grandma," Zhao Xuran couldn’t care less how others thought or acted, but this was absolutely not something to say in front of Grandma, or she would definitely be furious.
"Our grandfather also donated everything from our house, otherwise our days would be harder." Zhao Xuran didn’t know if their grandfather was truly willing to hand over those things back then, but if he hadn’t, would their family’s days have been better?
"Compared to money, being alive as a family is better; some things you won’t know until you’ve experienced them." Zhao Xuran thought about the things he experienced as a child and what he saw in other people’s lives, and he felt it was a kind of coldness.
If they hadn’t mentioned Hua Miaozhu, Zhao Guangran might have continued complaining, but when Zhao Xuran mentioned Grandma, he immediately shut up, "I know, I know, big brother, just don’t tell Grandma."
"Ni Zi, stay away from her in the future; she must be in the advanced class, and luckily, we aren’t in that class, or life wouldn’t be easy." Zhao Guangran was incredibly relieved he didn’t rush into the advanced class at the time, seduced by its name, because he would have definitely suffered if he did.
Advanced class, Gong Ruini was curious, "I wonder if she got there by her own ability or through connections."
Since she’s a child of Zhuge Zhi’s, she should also have a close relationship with Zhuge Ming.
"Regardless of how she did it, just study hard. Since she looked at you with such eyes, it means she’s not a good person." Zhao Xuran didn’t care about this relative of Zhuge Zhi’s kid.
No matter how bad Zhuge Zhi’s relationship with his relatives is, or even if it’s good, would he really stand by and let them bully his siblings?
"Anyway, stand on the moral high ground." Zhao Xuran was worried Zhao Guangran might impulsively hit the little girl, which would turn their justified position into an unjust one.
"I understand." Zhao Guangran knew about the nature of Grandpa Zhuge’s relatives, so he wouldn’t do something stupid. "If I hit them, they’ll surely come and whine, pretending they have no money while trying to show off."
"No patches on their clothes, truly spoiling them." Zhao Guangran recalled hearing some news and felt that was a kind of toothache.
This talk sounds rather sour, "Did you ever wear patched clothes yourself?"
"Sure did." Zhao Guangran claimed he’s worn them, "Our family is working class."
He could say this without blushing, yes, the so-called patched clothes they wore were really for the sake of the patch, so as not to catch the eye.
As Gong Ruini discussed Zhuge Mingshan, the latter was equally infuriated, "How dare they look at me with such eyes? They really are asking for it."
The glaring look from Gong Ruini that rebounded, in Zhuge Mingshan’s eyes, was a blatant show-off, parading their ability to live at Grandpa Zhuge’s house while they could only be chased away by the Third Grandpa.
"But the guy next to her is not bad." Zhuge Mingshan had no interest at all in the tiny bean-like Gong Ruini; instead, she noticed Zhao Xuran beside her.
"That guy must be their leader, right? Hmph, once I win him over, let’s see how that girl can flaunt."
Zhuge Mingshan would never admit to being momentarily charmed by Zhao Xuran; clearly, he was just a boy from the Northeastern Rural, yet how could he have such an allure, making one’s eyes light up upon seeing him.
Zhuge Mingshan knew that the girl must be a daughter of the Gong Family, with six kids and only one girl, quite easy to recognize, and the one beside her must be her biological brother.
After flashing a bright smile at Zhao Xuran, Zhuge Mingshan turned and walked away.
Unbelievable, right in front of us, she’s actually flirting, and with Zhao Xuran, no less, outrageous, does she think we’re dead or something?
Gong Ruini seriously contemplated how to craft a few little dolls to give this girl, Zhuge Mingshan, a good lesson.
Why was Gong Ruini so sure that Zhuge Mingshan was interested in Zhao Xuran? The reason was simple, she didn’t believe her brother had the charisma to attract someone as haughty as Miss Zhuge from the high-society Zhuge Family in Beijing.
