Chapter 568: Chapter 568 Someone Is Taking Action
Gong Ruwen glanced at Zhao Guangran, whose condition was unknown, and continued to chase Gong Ruini, "Ni Zi, do you really think Uncle is okay?"
"How will he explain things to Mom?" Gong Ruwen was genuinely worried that if Cai Ming was careless, he might say the wrong things to Mom.
"Also, Ni Zi, have you noticed that Mom has lost weight again?"
Gong Ruwen was a firsthand witness to the times when Cai Meina was pregnant with Gong Ruini and Zhan Jing with twins—weren’t people supposed to gain weight during pregnancy?
No, last time when Cai Meina was pregnant with Gong Ruini, she also lost weight, and after the sister was born, she became thin as well.
Would the younger brother turn out like the sister? This really scared Gong Ruwen. What would they do if the brother turned out like this?
"I’m worried about the younger brother." The sister’s poor health was already exhausting for everyone. Can Mom handle it if the brother is also sickly?
"Big brother, you’re overthinking. The younger brother and I have different situations. Back then, Mom was burdened with thoughts and didn’t eat well. At least now she eats fine."
All of Cai Meina’s worries stem from Cai Ming. Once Cai Ming figures things out, Cai Meina should be easily pacified.
"Actually, if Uncle goes to Aunt Wan Qiweng saying they’re together, I think Mom would be very happy. It’s not about their family background; Cai Meina always feared Cai Ming might end up single."
Gong Ruini couldn’t understand why such a good and promising uncle appeared to be unable to find a wife in their mom’s eyes.
If Cai Ming couldn’t find a spouse, who possibly could?
To have Wan Qiweng pretend to be Uncle’s girlfriend seemed perfectly reasonable to Gong Ruini, but totally bizarre to Gong Ruwen, "Don’t give careless suggestions; this might seriously trouble Uncle."
"And if Aunt Wan already has a boyfriend, wouldn’t it put her in a difficult spot? Also, if word gets out, what would people think of Uncle?"
Even in rural areas, Wan Qiweng was pursued, and now back in Beijing, with a great family background plus being a college student, she is really not someone that Uncle can match with.
Sigh, if only Uncle had secured Wan Qiweng back then. Sadly, Uncle didn’t make a move then, and now, it’s even less necessary to do so.
Could Wan Qiweng really find a boyfriend so soon? Clearly, when they visited Cai Ming’s school last time, Wan Qiweng greeted them warmly and invited them to visit her, even giving Gong Ruini her home address.
Unfortunately, Gong Ruini got busy afterward, and knowing Wan Qiweng’s family background, she dared not visit.
Though they had some so-called foundation, they couldn’t compare to such a wealthy family.
What if the other party’s invitation was just casual politeness and she’s too straightforward in going over; would it make things awkward for them?
"Brother, I always feel Aunt Wan might like Uncle, otherwise why would she attend a school he was at?" Though Wan Qiweng asked everyone about their college choices back then, how coincidental was it that she attended the same school as Cai Ming?
And the so-called accidental meeting at Cai Ming’s school — was it truly accidental?
Looking back now, Gong Ruini thinks the so-called encounter was a big lie — someone certainly stayed deliberately to wait for them.
Wan Qiweng might have liked Uncle in the past; Gong Ruwen feels there was a bit of that, but not just because of being in the countryside, our Uncle was indeed likable and being liked was normal.
"Many promising people in Beijing, our Uncle might not make it, and I think Uncle doesn’t too overthink these things." Gong Ruwen never heard any news about Aunt Wan from Cai Ming.
If they interacted in school, it would be impossible to have no contact; since he didn’t mention it, it either means Uncle didn’t want to say it or there’s no interaction.
According to Gong Ruwen’s understanding of Cai Ming, if there was contact, he wouldn’t stay silent. Since in Uncle’s perspective, he and Wan Qiweng are clean, it’s not a problem to talk about their interactions.
Oh no, could it be Uncle actually had no contact with Wan Qiweng at school? Gong Ruini knew Cai Ming didn’t think about it, but if Wan Qiweng also made no move, it means she also wasn’t doing anything. Since that’s the case, why bother herself with pointless pursuits?
"Forget it, forget it, not thinking about it anymore." Gong Ruini felt a headache; though she wasn’t completely a kid, dealing with emotions from a bygone era’s perspective was truly exhausting.
If that’s the case, best not to ponder about it, better to read books, haven’t read for days; really felt uncomfortable in various ways.
Seeing Gong Ruini sit down again and pick up a book to read, Gong Ruwen kept shaking his head, just a moment ago complaining about headaches, and now reading a book, doesn’t she know it can add more strain on the mind?
Gong Ruini looked up, unsurprised to see Gong Ruwen standing there, sigh, couldn’t even read. Clearly, she just picked up the book, not exceeding in any way.
"Weren’t you saying your head hurts?" Zhao Xuran confiscated the book Gong Ruini was reading from her hands, his face full of disapproval—how could she possibly claim a headache earlier, yet now acting regardless?
A headache, "That meant thinking too much." The matters felt complicated, so she didn’t want more thoughts. How could Zhao Xuran think that reading would exacerbate the headache?
And Zhao Guangran’s unruly behavior, as his older brother, shouldn’t Zhao Xuran coax him more? Why focus his attention on her?
Although having one more person caring is genuinely comforting, as who wouldn’t want more concern? But when it’s too much of a hassle, Gong Ruini felt various discomforts,
"Reading means not thinking much, go sleep." Zhao Xuran suggested Gong Ruini go rest.
Ah, sleeping again, although more sleep is good for beauty, but having napped in the afternoon, Gong Ruini really felt no drowsiness at all.
Gazing pitifully at Zhao Xuran, "Sleeping too much also causes headaches."
"How’s that, don’t want to sleep? Just lie in bed, no reading allowed." Lying down works too.
Wait, this girl lying in bed might still end up overthinking, which could strain her mind as well, "You can chat with us."
Sigh, chatting again, if it was just like last night, just chatting with two people late at night, Gong Ruini wouldn’t mind; but with so many people, what could they talk about?
"I’ll just sleep then." Books left unread can always be read the next day, and when alone in the room, she can do whatever she wants.
Yes, then who could bother her? Thinking of that, Gong Ruini’s mood turned delightful in various ways.
Seeing Gong Ruini smiling so brightly, Zhao Xuran’s mood improved as well. Regarding Gong Ruini’s plans in her heart, of course, Zhao Xuran knew.
Let Gong Ruini indulge a bit today; tomorrow she would realize today’s indulgence was a big joke.
