Chapter 578: Chapter 578: Still Have Family Discipline?
"Not bad." Zhao Xuran and the others didn’t have cleaning duty today, so after class, they came early to find Gong Ruini.
At the first sight of her, that was the first thing they said, which made Gong Ruini very happy.
"Just average, really. I really need to thank everyone for their help this time." This was something Gong Ruini insisted on acknowledging.
If it weren’t for the strong support of her classmates, she wouldn’t have so easily subdued Zhuge Mingshan.
"Yeah, we knew you were the best." Gong Ruwen squeezed past Zhao Xuran, wondering why his own sister always let Zhao Xuran steal the first word.
He had specifically mentioned on their way over that this time he couldn’t let Zhao Xuran steal his thunder. It’s not like it hadn’t been agreed upon; clearly, they had agreed. Why back out upon seeing Gong Ruini?
Didn’t this guy realize that doing so was excessively over the top?
Zhao Xuran rubbed his nose, feeling all kinds of embarrassed. It wasn’t that he didn’t see Gong Ruini, especially not with the look on her face pleading for compliments—he just couldn’t help himself.
Oh please, who would write that on their face? She would never do such a thing. Even without praise, she would act the same way. After all, it involved her personally.
"Bro, thank you."
"Brother Xuran, thank you too."
"Anyway, thank you all. Without your support, I might not have persisted." This gratitude speech wasn’t bad, not that Gong Ruini didn’t want to say more flattering words, but someone nearby wasn’t happy.
Zhao Guangran was genuinely unhappy. He knew Gong Ruini wouldn’t overly thank him, but literally ignoring him felt like too much.
"Of course, I also have to thank Zhao Guangran. Without him, I might not have gotten so many classmates to step up." Gong Ruini knew she was well-liked in the class, but facing Zhuge Mingshan so openly meant there would inevitably be those uncomfortable and quick to decline.
"And why don’t you call me Brother Guangran? I am your brother." It’s true, those words of thanks were plentiful, just as Ni Zi said, the important figures are always saved for last.
But why are they all being called brother, and with him, there’s no "brother"? Clearly, he is a brother too.
Sigh, this tsundere guy doesn’t even let up a single bit. It’s truly puzzling how his brain works—ignoring important matters, but overly concerned with minor things.
"Fine, Brother Guangran." The tsundere guy cannot be left uncoaxed.
Gong Ruini thought to herself that even though Zhao Guangran wasn’t the youngest, even Zhan Zisu, who was occasionally childish, was more mature than him.
But this was only something Gong Ruini kept to herself—she couldn’t let Zhao Guangran hear it, or he would certainly erupt in anger.
Not bad, this time’s attitude is acceptable. Zhao Guangran was quite satisfied being sweetly called "brother" by Gong Ruini, though he had a few displeasures.
The so-called displeasure was, "Remember to call me brother more often in the future."
There was no reason for Gong Ruini to call both him and Brother Ruiwen brother yet leave him out with just Guangran. "I am your brother, you should respect me."
Gosh, Zhao Guangran’s childish thoughts really left Gong Ruini without the courage to call him brother. However, seeing his conflicted face, she thought, fine, isn’t it just calling him brother? Let’s do it.
"Got it." Honestly, Zhao Guangran seemed unreliable, but once things really happened, he was dependable in all sorts. Today really made Gong Ruini look at him in a new light.
Okay, as for the not-so-good parts, Gong Ruini would criticize without holding back, but Zhao Guangran’s strengths couldn’t go unpraised, or there’d be no motivation in the future.
"Today Brother Guangran was really impressive. He coordinated a lot of classmates to stand up at the crucial moment."
"And even got students from other classes to testify." Gong Ruini couldn’t help but be thankful for making that bet. Their class was indeed the center of attention. Of course, Gong Ruini knew they were looking for an easier time to ask questions in the future.
But such sincere and fearless heroes from key classes, aiding was certainly a must.
Gong Ruini was speaking the truth, which made Zhao Guangran immensely excited, "Ni Zi, I’m really touched, you made me sound so great."
Zhao Guangran initially forced Gong Ruini to call him brother, and later regretted a bit, fearing Gong Ruini might really get upset. He never expected her to praise him.
The key point being, Gong Ruini genuinely praised him, without any insincerity. This time Zhao Guangran analyzed word by word, phrase by phrase, ensuring there were absolutely no issues.
Look at this sense of accomplishment, Gong Ruini really didn’t understand; was it necessary to be this overjoyed at hearing the truth?
"Alright, don’t cry anymore. By the way, did she make any minor moves?" Zhao Xuran had heard news that Gong Ruini intended to clarify rumors through the school broadcast and was also startled.
After all, they had agreed just to apologize at Zhuge Mingshan’s class door, in front of many. How did it turn out like this? Really strange.
No way, didn’t he know? Gong Ruini knew that based on Zhao Xuran’s personality, he would avoid getting Zhuge Mingshan involved, but it shouldn’t have gone unnoticed.
"An apology requires the main party to accept it. She didn’t come out, and her followers emerged, blaming me and even resorting to violence."
"What, they actually resorted to violence?" Zhao Xuran was actually most concerned about this.
Gong Ruwen, from the side, was anxious. Hearing Gong Ruini admit it made the loyal elder brother furious.
"They actually resorted to violence."
"How could they do this? Do they have no upbringing?"
"Each one is from the key class, yet lacks basic decency."
To Gong Ruwen, regardless of the circumstances, the fact that his sister went to apologize and faced such treatment was exceedingly unfair, "Did Zhuge Mingshan just sit in the classroom?"
Gong Ruini nodded, "Yes, and this definitely had her hand in it." Gong Ruini recounted her earlier discoveries.
What Gong Ruini thought at that moment was, "Hopefully, someone will catch those who spread rumors."
"Useless, she was able to command these people because she was fully confident."
Zhao Xuran clenched his fist, his opinion of Zhuge Mingshan plummeting. All sorts of complaints aside, the mere intention to smear Ni Zi at school could lead to unforeseen consequences.
Not that she wasn’t aware, but she didn’t care. In her view, it would only emphasize her innocence.
Given her involvement, which might involve others too, Zhuge Mingshan was the most outrageous. In any case, they must find a chance to reprimand her properly.
Such individuals are truly terrifying; they sporadically create trouble, leaving you without a viable method to deal with them.
But unfortunately for her, she met Zhao Xuran, who wouldn’t let it slide. Wrongdoers must face their punishment.
