Chapter 565: Chapter 565: Wounded Elder Brother
Cai Meina looked at her visibly slimmer daughter in front of her and assumed that her daughter had lost weight from worrying about Cai Ming’s situation, which made Cai Meina regret it terribly.
Gong Tao felt all kinds of regret too when he saw his daughter slimming down to the point of losing her shape.
Initially, when his wife’s condition wasn’t good, he thought his sensible daughter would reason with her. Unexpectedly, not only did not persuade his wife, but also his daughter got caught up, making Gong Tao regret it.
"Mom, I’m fine. I was just feeling a bit unwell a few days ago, but now I’m better. Plus, Granny Cai cooks chicken soup for me every day, and Brother Xuran and my brother are all taking care of me."
Seeing Zhao Guangran’s look suggesting that he should be praised too, well, let’s praise this kid, so he won’t go around speaking nonsense out of discomfort later.
Of course, this kid wouldn’t intentionally say irrelevant things; he’s just worried if he wasn’t careful. Alas, do patients like her have such an unfortunate condition?
Usually, patients receive all kinds of care, but not in her case. She had to consider everyone’s feelings around her, especially the fragile heart of Zhao Guangran.
Not bad, not bad. Although praising Zhan Banxia and the others felt like an afterthought, the praise for Gong Ruini didn’t feel awkward at all.
"Oh, is that so?" Cai Meina still thought things weren’t that simple, but both Zhuge Zhi and Cai Xingjuan indicated it was just a bit of discomfort.
"Actually, this kid is under a lot of stress."
"And it just erupted. However, this eruption was a good thing; if it was always suppressed, it would lead to bigger problems." Zhuge Zhi emphasized that as a doctor, he truly wasn’t just saying things.
His words were insightful. Gong Ruini knew her illness was due to stress, and coupled with various events, especially the Zhuge Mingshan incident, it completely crushed her.
Although Gong Ruini felt quite useless, thinking it was unnecessary to be so tense over such matters, as per Zhuge Zhi, the fact she fell ill was actually beneficial.
The implication was that mounting stress could lead to a complete breakdown. This was today morning when Zhuge Zhi learned she woke up and shared these original words after talking with her.
Of course, Gong Ruwen and the others knew about this as well, because they were Gong Ruini’s siblings and needed to be aware of their sister’s health.
Gong Ruini was quite scared by it, and Gong Ruwen was scared too, continuously saying he was not caring enough about his sister, which left Gong Ruini embarrassed.
In turn, she kept comforting Gong Ruwen, and thus, they signed an unequal treaty agreeing that Gong Ruini shouldn’t scare people like this anymore or keep too many thoughts. If she was unhappy, she must tell them.
If Gong Ruini doesn’t understand now, she definitely is a fool. It was a setup by them, without needing to guess whose idea it was.
Besides Zhao Xuran, who else would propose such a thing?
Clearly, the two were chatting happily earlier this morning; if it wasn’t for Gong Ruini’s poor health, they’d almost go out star-gazing with Zhao Xuran, have tea, chat all night. But no matter how good things are, they exist at night; daytime is when Zhao Xuran’s plan awakens her.
Gong Ruini knew they did this for her benefit, but being calculated like this made her rather uncomfortable. If they had just plainly said it, Gong Ruini would have no objection honestly, but they chose a way that made someone utterly uncomfortable.
Alright, Ni Zi was not pleased with him, and Zhao Xuan was quite helpless. He truly didn’t initially think of doing this, but the midnight chat revealed to him how many thoughts Ni Zi harbored. If she wasn’t allowed to vent occasionally, something would definitely happen.
Ah, all this stress, wasn’t the daughter’s grades good? Cai Meina was tense because she didn’t think her daughter could be stressed, believing that even in Beijing, these courses posed no stress at all for Gong Ruini, unexpectedly the daughter actually was stressed, but what to do?
Cai Meina didn’t know what to do, so she turned to Gong Tao, as this was his forte.
Stressful? Gong Tao glanced at Zhao Guangran, if nothing unforeseen had happened, it was again about the challenges.
Wrongfully accused indeed, once again his matter, simply seeing Gong Ruini’s performance at school would reveal that truly isn’t pressure for her, but on him.
Gong Ruini just helped classmates solve problems a bit, the rest of the time she quietly read books.
"Yes, yes, Ni Zi’s school pressure is great, I’ve already urged Guangran." Zhao Xuran naturally stood out at this crucial moment, indicating he would assist Zhao Guangran in handling this.
No way, knowing it has nothing to do with him, how could his big brother have the heart to let his own brother be the scapegoat?
It’s not unfamiliar to having been scapegoated before, but seeing even their parents’ displeased expressions?
"Guangran, you must work harder, it’s your matter, you cannot let Ni Zi take on the responsibility." Zhao Gang expressed that as a man, one cannot just make empty promises without effort and push the matter onto others.
Wow, truly being wronged every way, Zhao Guangran didn’t want to speak anymore, his own brother outright sold him out, even their own father stepped in, making it really impossible to clear his name.
Forget it, better to admit, though things cannot just end this way, no way to get benefits from own father, but there’s still big brother.
Hold on, what did big brother just say, he said he’d help with this, now this is true big brother, knowing all along he couldn’t bear not offering help, not saying consenting before was only feeling cornered, now given a good chance, brother surely stands out.
"Mom, Dad, Uncle Gong, Aunt Cai, don’t worry, with big brother’s help, I certainly will strive hard, won’t let Ni Zi worry." Zhao Guangran quickly reassured.
This kid truly always taking advantage of the situation; Gong Ruini wasn’t sure whether Zhao Xu ran’s offer to help was a polite gesture or sincere, but now with Guangran doing this, Zhao Xuran certainly won’t say he won’t help.
In a setting with so many adults, everything Zhao Xuran said must be followed through.
"I understand." When has he ever failed to fulfill a promise? Zhao Guangran this kid increasingly distrusting others, this must change, need to educate him well.
"Okay, big brother, I really have a ton of questions." Recently Zhao Guangran truly put in a lot of effort and faced many questions but didn’t know how to handle them, hesitated to ask Gong Ruini.
Always felt asking like this, Gong Ruini would look at him with an expression saying why ask such simple questions.
As for why hesitating to ask own big brother, to Zhao Guangran it’s straightforward, big brother’s always smarter and older, seeking guidance is rather normal.
No way, actually has questions, Zhao Xuran stunned, well, this kid seems truly encountered difficulties, difficult him endured so long, well, since younger brother faced issues, better have a look.
