Chapter 968 - 970: Learning Foreign Languages
Chapter 968: Chapter 970: Learning Foreign Languages Zhao Guangran really felt like crying, his wallet!
Cao Na watched her boyfriend, who hadn’t had a good expression on his face for several days, wondering what she could do.
It wasn’t like she hadn’t tried to persuade him, and this amount of money really wasn’t a big deal to Zhao Guangran.
"I’m crying for my brother to see. What if he gets annoyed and, to stop me from being sad, gives me money?"
Zhao Guangran was thinking about getting back a bit of his money. This New Year, his eldest brother didn’t give him New Year’s money, but the bonus money or hard-earned money was enough for him to get an unknown number of red envelopes.
So he had to make sure his elder brother bled a lot this time.
Zhao Guangran could say this anytime, but he just had to say it now, and it was overheard by Zhao Xuran.
Originally, Zhao Xuran wanted to give his younger brother some money, to let this money-lover recoup a bit, but he didn’t expect to hear such explosive words.
Knowing that his brother’s emotions were fine, Zhao Xuran certainly wouldn’t give Zhao Guangran any money, and just let him keep crying and complaining about his grievances.
Not only that, Zhao Xuran was also considering how to improve Zhao Guangran’s grades. Even if he couldn’t become the top scorer at the college entrance exam, at least he needed to try a bit harder.
Zhao Xuran left quietly as he came, without letting Zhao Guangran, who was still whispering with his girlfriend, know he was ever there.
Zhao Guangran suddenly felt cold all over, but there was clearly no wind blowing, so why did it feel like there was?
"What’s wrong?" Cao Na noticed her boyfriend turning his head constantly, thinking something had happened.
"Nothing, I just felt like maybe my brother was here."
What, Zhao Xuran was here? Cao Na thought her boyfriend was overthinking.
"Didn’t you say your big brother is busy lately?"
Okay, that Hot Spring Villa recently took a lot of his big brother’s energy, how could he have time to care about his life and death now.
"Alright, maybe I overthought it."
Gong Ruini was sunbathing at the back, really not wanting to emerge, but she noticed Zhao Xuran came and went.
She just wanted to say Zhao Guangran’s idea was good, but unfortunately, even heaven didn’t support him, "Hope he won’t cry."
If Zhao Guangran stopped the fuss, the punishment shouldn’t be severe. If he insisted on making a fuss, Gong Ruini was really looking forward to seeing how miserable Zhao Guangran would become.
At first, Gong Jiaming felt quite relaxed, especially with Miao Cuihua not around, there really was no one constantly nagging about this or that.
There were lots of gourmet foods here, plenty of places to have fun, and never a lack of companions. In short, Gong Jiaming regarded it as entering a paradise.
Gong Jiaxin saw her younger brother playing every day since he arrived, and she was quite anxious.
"Gong Jiaming, do you really think you came here just to play?" Gong Jiaxin couldn’t hold back anymore, after a few days, and grabbed Gong Jiaming.
Gong Jiaming wanted to avoid her, but Gong Jiaxin had a face that said ’Run if you dare, see how I’ll deal with you’, and it completely froze Gong Jiaming.
"Sis, I just wanted to deepen my relationship with Zhao Guangran and the others."
"We can’t let them feel like we’re just using them, that wouldn’t make us look superficial, would it?" Gong Jiaming explained why he behaved that way.
Go on, pretend, go ahead and pretend, thinking she couldn’t see through it.
"If you think it’s good, then go ahead, after all, it’s your time you’re wasting." Gong Jiaxin turned and left, her brother seemed to enjoy playing then just let him play, he’d have his time to cry later.
Ha, my sister is so easy-going, just looked at me and turned away, wouldn’t be that good in talking.
No, something’s up, Gong Jiaming couldn’t help but feel uneasy, his sister must have her plans, would she tattle?
No way, she mustn’t tell our parents, or his good days would be over, Gong Jiaming could already imagine being dragged back by his parents, he couldn’t think about it, or he’d die of misery.
"Sis, sis, listen to me, I actually am trying." Gong Jiaming grabbed Gong Jiaxin.
Trying? Trying with what? Gong Jiaxin calmly looked at Gong Jiaming, just waiting for his answer.
Gong Jiaming thought for a bit, "Um, I’m learning a foreign language with Gong Ruzhi, sis, did you know, they’re actually all learning foreign languages?"
Learning foreign languages, is there a problem with that? All the schools are offering that course now, even Ni Zi’s foreign language scores are stellar.
"They’re learning with foreigners; it’s conversation practice." Gong Jiaming whispered to Gong Jiaxin.
What, learning a foreign language with a foreign teacher? No way, Gong Jiaxin was shocked, but hang on, she spent most days with Gong Ruini, she never saw her slip away for foreign language lessons.
"Recently they didn’t have classes, initially Ni Zi and the others went back to their hometown, later it seemed the other party went on a business trip."
"Oh, Xiao Zhi said Ni Zi and the others plan to study abroad." Gong Jiaming was stunned, studying abroad, such a distant prospect.
Not that he hadn’t heard of people going abroad, some for work, some to join relatives, some for study, expectedly Ni Zi would be the latter.
And Ni Zi could go abroad to study so casually, "Does Second Uncle have that much money?"
"No, it’s because Ni Zi is wealthy." Gong Jiaming whispered.
Ni Zi wealthy? "Her money, I suspect isn’t much less than our parents." Everyone says their family is rich, but truthfully they have no idea about Second Uncle’s situation.
With just a bit of knowledge about Second Uncle’s family, anyone would feel their own little money isn’t even in Second Uncle’s eyes.
Ha, are they really that wealthy? Gong Jiaming was startled, knowing his own parents are adults, how could it be that a younger kid like Gong Ruini could earn so much.
"Do you still think you can afford to slack off?" Gong Jiaxin didn’t want to get angry at her brother, but some words she really couldn’t hold back.
That’s the spirit, that’s the sister he knows, "Sis, I know, so I was thinking whether we should join to learn too."
"Didn’t Ni Zi mention studying design abroad was the best way?" Gong Jiaming felt quite aggrieved, he really wasn’t just trying to have fun, he genuinely wanted to discuss this with Gong Ruzhi and the others.
Learning a foreign language, Gong Jiaxin had studied English for several years, and really found it difficult, just the written English alone was enough to make her sweat gallons, now if she needed to communicate with foreigners, how should she do that?
What if the other side laughed at her? No, it was that she simply didn’t dare speak, and this made Gong Jiaxin back away in different ways.
After all, hiring a foreigner to teach must be quite expensive, and Gong Jiaxin didn’t want to waste everyone’s money just for her, it would put more pressure on her.
"Sis, it’s okay, we can just listen in, talk if we can, from what Xiao Zhi and the others said, they haven’t learned for very long either."
"They communicated with the foreigners using half Chinese, half English." Gong Jiaming really admired how creative Gong Ruini and her group were.
"It’s free." As soon as Gong Jiaxin heard it’s free, her eyes immediately lit up.
He knew his sister was always considerate, it wasn’t that she didn’t want to learn, but that she worried about tuition. "Then it’s settled, I’ll talk to Ni Zi about it."
His sister was shy, so now it was time for her thick-skinned brother to step in.
