Chapter 557: Chapter 557: Voice of Unfairness
What’s going on with my little sister? Why is she sulking after coming home? I’ve never seen her like this before.
It’s not that Gong Ruini never gets angry, but even if she’s upset, she wouldn’t ignore Ban Xia and the others when they greet her.
"What’s wrong?" Gong Ruwen was puzzled about what was bothering his sister. Could it be that she was scolded by the parents over there?
But that doesn’t make sense. My sister didn’t do anything wrong, so why would she get scolded? Even when Zhao Guangran caused such a big mess, Uncle Zhao and the others didn’t scold him, so there’s no reason to scold Ni Zi.
Zhao Xuran made a zip-it gesture with his mouth, indicating that he couldn’t speak. Even though he knew about it, it wasn’t something he could freely talk about.
Oh no, could it really be something that needs to be kept secret? Could it be that she’s really done something wrong? Gong Ruwen looked at Gong Ruini anxiously. "Is it serious?"
Is it serious? For Gong Ruini to be so upset that she doesn’t want to speak, it must not be a minor issue. Otherwise, why would she be so quiet?
If it were good news, she wouldn’t know how to brag and show off. But this girl hasn’t done so, indicating that the issue is significant.
Zhao Guangran could only grumble in silence; he didn’t dare say it out loud, or he’d definitely get a few eye-rolls from his older brother.
"It’s not serious, and it’s nothing to do with Ni Zi. Don’t worry," Zhao Xuran said, offering some reassurance when he saw how anxious Gong Ruwen was.
When Gong Ruwen heard it had nothing to do with his sister, he breathed a sigh of relief. Zhao Guangran, on the other hand, looked doubtful. If it really had nothing to do with Gong Ruini, why would she be so upset? Did they really take him for a fool?
Unfortunately, no one cared about Zhao Guangran’s thoughts and opinions, including Ban Xia and the others, who had already rushed off to comfort Gong Ruini, leaving Zhao Guangran alone in his frustration.
Actually, Zhao Guangran also felt a bit relieved. He was shocked when he first saw Gong Ruini’s long face. Of course, he was worried about her as well, but he used a sarcastic tone to provoke her instead.
It’s not that he didn’t worry about Gong Ruini; it’s just that this girl, whenever she heard his sarcastic remarks, would pull herself together no matter how upset she was.
Although Gong Ruwen knew his sister didn’t suffer any grievance, since Ni Zi wasn’t happy, it indicated something happened, maybe related to their parents. So he shooed Ban Xia and the others out of the room.
Once it was just the siblings left in the room, Gong Ruwen didn’t know what to say for a moment. "So, what’s up, Ni Zi?"
"Is it something to do with mom?" Gong Ruwen felt a bit wronged in his heart. After all, he’s the eldest son of the family, so why wasn’t he called?
Gong Ruwen wasn’t really upset about that; it’s more that when his parents asked Gong Ruini to return, he felt he, as her elder brother, should’ve accompanied her. But by the time he got the news, Zhao Xuran had already taken his sister, leaving Gong Ruwen furious.
"It’s not mom, it’s uncle." On the way back, Gong Ruini thought about it for a long time, debating whether to tell Gong Ruwen. But since even Zhao Xuran knew, there was no reason to hide it from him; otherwise, her brother would be angry.
What? Uncle’s girlfriend, Gao Yanan, is already married, and the wedding was before the new year. "At that time, Uncle sent several letters, asking how she was doing in exams and talking about schools she should apply to."
It turned out that when her uncle was so worried, Gao Yanan was happily preparing for a wedding. No wonder it stirred Gong Ruwen, who usually has a good temper, greatly. "She didn’t even inform Uncle."
"She’s too much, treating Uncle like a fool. We shouldn’t have given her those review materials."
"Right, what else did Third Uncle write in the letter?" Of course, Gong Ruwen was angry. After all, some of the review materials given to Gao Yanan were written by the kids.
Thinking back to the days when their parents were preparing for exams, Gong Ruwen didn’t like to reminisce. Sure, their parents had a hard time, but did it mean the kids had it easy?
One by one, they’d get up early and sleep late just so that their parents could have more review papers. "We shouldn’t have given her the materials. Let’s see how she’d boast about getting into university."
"Especially when she showed them to her man." This was what disgusted Gong Ruwen the most. "Hmph, I bet she didn’t say anything because she couldn’t bear to stop receiving the review materials Uncle mailed her."
That’s surely the case, although Cai Ming might be displeased after knowing, he had promised to give the son-and-father materials to Gao Yanan, and he wouldn’t break that promise, but Gao Yanan didn’t trust him.
"A person who doesn’t trust our uncle to keep his promises, it’s better if they part ways early." Gong Ruini expressed that although Cai Ming is a man of few words, he always tries very hard to do what he says.
Before, she thought Gao Yanan was a good person, but now she feels this person is only average, and definitely not suitable for her uncle right now.
"Part ways? It’s because she’s been too much." Gong Ruwen expressed all kinds of dissatisfaction for Cai Ming. "When summer break arrives, we’re going to ask her to give Uncle an explanation."
Explanation? And what could she say? "You’re just going to make Uncle lose face." Yes, while Gao Yanan might lose face too, would their uncle really have any dignity left?
Making a scene would benefit no one, "Let’s just consider what she once delivered messages to Uncle as a thing of the past. But in the future, if she tries to cling to our family, people like her shouldn’t be associated with." Gong Ruini knew they might be wrongly accusing Gao Yanan, but as an adult, if she was truly bullied, could she not write to Cai Ming?
Would no one stand up for her and seek justice?
There were no rumors about Gao Yanan being unhappy with the marriage, indicating she must be content. "Forget it, we’ll just wish her well."
Wish her well? That’s really thick-skinned, Gong Ruwen expressed he’d rather have no chivalry. Can chivalry serve as meals? No, it only makes people angry.
Watching Gong Ruwen vent angrily about Gao Yanan, list after list, Gong Ruini couldn’t help but feel grateful that Zhao Xuran was the one who accompanied her back, or else her big brother would have surely exploded in anger.
Unless he might tell their uncle, causing uncontrollable chaos. All in all, it was really fortunate, Gong Ruini thought to herself.
As for Gong Ruwen who was venting his frustration at the moment, Gong Ruini thought it was better to let him get it out. That way, when he sees Cai Ming over the weekend, he won’t spill the beans.
"Don’t worry, I won’t tell Uncle about this," Gong Ruwen said after a good bout of venting, wiping a tear from his eye, a bit embarrassed to have shown his bad side.
"Bro, I know you’re upset, and I am too, but getting angry won’t change anything. Maybe she didn’t want to wait, and after all, she has helped us a lot." After a night’s reflection, Gong Ruini had thought it through a lot more.
