Chapter 524: Chapter 524 Complaints
"Brother, Sister Ni." Zhan Banxia and the others were thrilled to see Zhao Xuran.
Since the twins could remember, they would always see Zhao Xuran first thing in the morning and just before closing their eyes to sleep. Can they not miss them after not seeing them for a whole morning?
"Banxia, Second Brother really missed you."
"Zisu, Second Brother also misses you guys a lot."
No matter what Zhao Guangran said along the way, his big brother just refused to acknowledge him, which really frustrated Zhao Guangran. But he didn’t know what to do about it.
This made him deeply reflect on whether he had gone too far before. But since he had already made bold claims, how could he face it if he didn’t follow through? Zhao Guangran was truly worried.
Seeing Banxia and the others, Zhao Guangran couldn’t let them go. Yes, if Big Brother didn’t want to see him and Gong Ruini didn’t want to help, Banxia and the others were his only hope for salvation.
Seeing their brother so excited, Zhan Banxia and the others were stunned and just hugged Zhao Guangran all of a sudden. But when they looked at Gong Ruini and the others, they seemed completely baffled.
"Your Second Brother is acting stupid," Gong Ruini explained as she headed inside. After attending classes all morning, her stomach was rumbling with hunger, and she had no time to bother with other things.
Oh, so it’s Second Brother who did something to make Big Brother unhappy again, which left Zhan Banxia feeling helpless. "Second Brother, why do you always do this?"
Zhan Banxia was an anxious person, wondering when their Second Brother would grow up and stop making everyone worry.
"If he didn’t act dumb, he wouldn’t be Second Brother." Zhan Zisu stated it was very typical for their Second Brother to do such silly things. "Second Brother, you should properly apologize to Big Brother."
"Didn’t you say yourself that you have a thick skin and you’re determined to make Big Brother relent?"
This kid was born to annoy him, right? Their two brothers were such troublemakers, each time they met, there were never kind words. Banxia was a little better; it was Zisu who always spoke the harshest.
Whether he intended to or not, he really didn’t mean to do it on purpose, just following his heart, but such honest words made Zhao Guangran a bit uncomfortable.
As Gong Ruini listened to Zisu’s candid remarks ahead, a smile spread across her face. "Brother Xuran, do you really not want to help?"
If he didn’t want to help, she’d have to ask her uncle for help, but her uncle is quite busy too.
It’s been so long, yet Gao Yanan hasn’t sent a single letter. How could this not make people anxious? Thankfully, her uncle isn’t someone who only thinks about love; otherwise, he might’ve really abandoned his studies to go find her.
But if he doesn’t go back, does his heart still remain? "I wonder if Aunt Gao is coming to Beijing."
"At the very least, send a letter." Regardless of Gao Yanan’s choice, even if Cai Ming gets really mad, he would probably accept it; it’s just a matter of time.
But Gao Yanan hasn’t made any move; is she planning to be her uncle’s freckle on the chest, making him constantly miss her?
If she really intended such a plot, Gong Ruini wouldn’t let Gao Yanan succeed, even though she helped Uncle and delayed him for so many years. Her uncle owes her quite a bit, but it doesn’t mean she can toy with people like this.
"Aunt Gao?" An unfamiliar name, "Didn’t you used to call her Auntie?"
Zhao Xuran remembered that every time Uncle’s friends wrote a letter, Gong Ruini would run to Cai Ming and call her aunt, and she wouldn’t stop until Cai Ming blushed. Why not call her aunt this time?
"I was young and naive back then, and whether she’ll become my aunt is still a question." Even if one is sick, it’s impossible not to have any communication with the family.
"I just hope that no matter what, Uncle doesn’t lose his mind." Cai Ming rarely mentions his feelings for Gao Yanan, but every time a letter comes from her, Cai Ming’s eyes light up, always eagerly awaiting her letter.
How deep are Cai Ming’s feelings for Gao Yanan, or how profound? Zhao Xuran doesn’t know, but he’s certain that "Uncle wouldn’t go crazy over a woman. Uncle bears a lot of responsibilities, plus don’t you think if Uncle keeps busy, he won’t have too much time to dwell on things?"
Though Gong Ruini doesn’t want Cai Ming to be overly busy, Zhao Xuran feels it’s better to keep Cai Ming busy so he can forget about Gao Yanan.
This logic is indeed quite right, but is it truly suitable for Cai Ming? Gong Ruini feels matters of the heart are not something a little girl like her can think about.
"Brother Xuran, you’re not going to ignore Brother Guangran, are you?" She was almost led astray by Zhao Xuran. Thankfully, Gong Ruini wasn’t that easily swayed.
That girl saw through it. Zhao Xuran felt a little regret, but he didn’t take it too seriously. "How could I not help? But we need for him to come to his senses first."
Looks like they really plan to go all out this time, Gong Ruini understood. Since Zhao Xuran was acting this way, Gong Ruini felt everyone should advance and retreat together. Otherwise, if one side insists on the other pressing forward, helping him wouldn’t ultimately provide the harsh lesson Zhao Guangran needs.
"I will persuade my uncle not to get involved." Gong Ruini said with a bright smile at Zhao Xuran.
Sigh, this girl is really a clever one. Fine, let’s go with it. It’s better to have a unified approach.
Gong Ruini and Zhao Xuran decided happily just like that, but seeing them from behind, Zhao Guangran was furious.
"Hey, you guys." How could Zhao Guangran not be angry? He’s his own flesh-and-blood brother, after all, who just said this morning he’d support him in everything. Yet, without much time passing, this is how they treat him?
Zhao Guangran felt truly tired, "How can you do this?"
"I’m standing up for us Northeastern bumpkins."
Zhao Guangran’s mind was still quite sharp; he quickly recollected those unpleasant things people had said. "So what if they’re all from Beijing, can they eat meat every day?"
"Do they have money?"
"They’re not even as capable as our Banxia, living off their parents, yet they have the cheek to act all high and mighty. I’m genuinely embarrassed for them." Zhao Guangran was quite proud, even if he was among the younger ones in class, he could still support himself.
"Those parasites don’t study well, just seeking excitement all day. I doubt they’ll achieve much when they grow up." The more Zhao Guangran spoke, the more annoyed he became.
At first, hearing his brother’s complaints, Zhao Xuran stayed silent. The discussion they had just now, Zhao Guangran overheard, so it’s understandable he needs to vent a bit. Unexpectedly, his brother kept on escalating his words.
"Guangran, watch what you’re saying. Think about why you even said such things today." They were already quite noticeable, and who knows who might show up in the afternoon to stir Zhao Guangran up, potentially taking things in a completely unpredictable direction.
