Chapter 619: Chapter 620: Master of Flattery
When Gong Tao received the telegram sent by Gong Zhuang, it was a surprise.
He was surprised at how Gong Jiaming and the others would come together. Wasn’t this nonsense?
Gong Tao knew that after transferring in Beijing, Gong Ruini and the others would just return to the Northeast, but now with Gong Jiaming joining them, how to handle this?
Gong Tao was thinking about how to arrange for these two children in Beijing, where to take them for fun.
Gong Tao has been in Beijing for almost five months without really exploring the city. If it weren’t for going to the city to see Gong Ruini and the others, Gong Tao could just stay on campus.
Gong Tao knew that getting into college this time wasn’t easy for him, and besides, he didn’t want to return to his hometown after graduating, so he needed to be dedicated, hoping to stay and work in Beijing if possible.
But is staying to work in Beijing an easy thing?
If there were no surprises, Zhao Gang and his wife would be staying in Beijing to work, while he, with no backing or background, dreaming of developing in Beijing is just that—a dream.
The helpless Gong Tao could only study hard, hoping to stay in Beijing with excellent grades.
Gong Tao had really arranged for this summer’s plans, not expecting an unexpected event to occur.
Standing at the station entrance, Gong Tao internally muttered complaints, yet he couldn’t help but constantly watch the exit.
"Dad, Dad." When Gong Ruwen saw Gong Tao, he was excited, and the thought of going back home made him extremely nervous.
Even though he had his uncle with him, and his third uncle would help in every way, it couldn’t stop his elder uncle from all sorts of scheming.
As the elder brother, Gong Ruwen could only try to stand in front of Gong Ruini. He always thought he had grown strong, but at the moment of seeing his father, he found his tears uncontrollably streaming down.
Gong Ruwen ran into Gong Tao’s arms, wailing, which startled Gong Tao. Ever since following behind Zhao Xu, this son of his had been resilient and strict with himself, so why cry now, what was this about?
Both Gong Ruini and Cai Ming were also startled, looking at each other, really not knowing what was happening.
Gong Jiaming was also stunned for a moment, then expressed surprise that the usually stern older brother in front of them could also show such an expression.
"I’m fine, I’m fine." After crying, Gong Ruwen remembered they were outside, and that Gong Jiaming was there too.
Gong Ruwen truly felt embarrassed, feeling both his pride and dignity were gone, sigh.
Gong Ruwen really didn’t know what was wrong just now, how he could suddenly lose his mind and cry without regard for anything.
"It’s okay, it’s okay." Gong Tao understood why Gong Ruwen cried like that, "Son, you’ve done really well this time."
Gong Tao found a chance to call Gong Zhuang, and learned a lot from him, simultaneously resolving that even if he had to work in the Northeast after graduation, he would not go back to work in his hometown.
He hadn’t even gone back home, and they already started plotting, expecting him to take care of Gong Qiang.
Gong Tao really couldn’t understand how the Gong family’s minds worked; no one else would think like this, causing his entire family to go to the Northeast, why would he still take care of them.
Moreover, Gong Tao had no emotional reaction to Zhang Lan’s illness this time. If she hadn’t done bad things, how would she end up unwell?
That’s right, seeing Zhang Lan unwell gave Gong Tao the feeling that it was due to her frequent evil deeds, "Stop crying, you’ve really done well. When we get back, we’ll eat something delicious; a few days ago, I caught a wild chicken and a wild rabbit on the mountain."
Originally, Gong Tao wanted to use them to nourish Cai Meina, but his wife insisted that the kids should eat it, so Gong Tao had to oblige.
Gong Jiaming originally felt a bit unfamiliar with Gong Tao, hesitating to approach, but upon hearing there was delicious food, both chicken and rabbit, his foodie nature emerged, "Second Uncle, is there really something tasty?"
Gong Ruwen had already noticed the two people following his sons, but he was busy comforting his child at the time, so he hadn’t paid attention simultaneously. Now seeing a chubby little guy leap forward, he was delighted too.
The chubby child inherently carried joy in his appearance, "Are you Gong Jiaming?"
"Oh, Second Uncle, how do you know me?" Gong Jiaming was excited, "Sister, Second Uncle knows me."
Gong Ruini couldn’t bear to look; was this guy really that simple-minded? Wait, was he acting adorable on purpose?
Gong Ruini always knew that because she and her brother matured early, they wouldn’t let their parents worry over small things, so when the Gong Tao couple felt gratified, thinking their kids were well-behaved, they’d also feel a little sense of loss, thinking they lacked presence as parents.
Seeing this silly Gong Jiaming now, they should be quite excited.
Gong Jiaxin immediately turned away, unwilling to look at her brother. Her own brother surely acted out just upon hearing talk of good food, pulling the same tactics he used on their grandparents—he’d earned quite a bit of food this way since they were little.
Originally, she thought the Second Uncle wouldn’t be so easily taken, considering he was a leader at one point, and managed to get into college after relocating to the Northeast, a person highly respected by her parents.
But now seeing even the adults her parents respected so much think her brother was great, oh god, what’s going on here, she really couldn’t understand it.
"Second Uncle, my dad always says you’re amazing, saying you can catch animals."
At this moment, Gong Jiaming remembered something very important, and he was intensely excited, "Every year during the festivals, the cured meat we eat, Dad always said it was made from the animals you caught. I really love it."
The enthusiasm wasn’t ordinary at all, Gong Ruini was truly watching in amazement. When they met for the first time, wasn’t it as enthusiastic as this, she had never seen Gong Jiaming so chatty, although she always thought he was talkative, she never imagined he could speak so much.
Gong Ruini was very surprised, but what she wanted to say even more was, why did her dad not hug her but instead hugged Gong Jiaming, why was this happening?
If Gong Jiaming were younger than her, Gong Ruini could afford to be humble for once, but he was older, older!
Gong Ruini didn’t even remember the last time her dad hugged her.
Gong Ruini admitted that after her rebirth, she wasn’t used to being hugged, but that didn’t mean her dad’s embrace could just be taken away so easily.
Gong Ruini shot a fierce look at Gong Jiaming, but the latter didn’t react at all, still clinging to Gong Tao and talking non-stop, which infuriated Gong Ruini almost to the point of bursting, yet she couldn’t lose her temper.
That would truly ruin her image as a graceful woman, leaving Gong Ruini with no choice but to give Gong Jiaming a sharp glare.
