Chapter 1116 - 1118: Late-Night Call
Gong Ruini took a bath, yawned, and prepared to go to sleep.
"Sister Ni." Two pitiful voices sounded.
Gong Ruini turned around, "Ban Xia, Zisu?"
Why would these two children come looking for her at this time? Gong Ruini was quite puzzled.
"Why aren’t you sleeping yet?" Could it be something good happened? But it seems there’s nothing needing their help.
"My dad..."
"No, someone said my dad’s brother and sister appeared." Zhuge Zisu looked at third brother who remained silent for a long time, feeling all sorts of anxious.
"Yes." Zhao Xuran mentioned that even Zhao Guangran didn’t know about this, let alone the two twins below.
Gong Ruini’s blunt answer scared them, "Is, is it true?"
"This could possibly be true, but it has nothing to do with you." Even if some people come to visit, it won’t affect them.
If it’s true, why does it have nothing to do with them? Zhuge Zisu didn’t understand, stupidly staring at Gong Ruini.
"They probably severed ties with dad long ago."
"My dad doesn’t even know Uncle Zhao or dad."
Even Uncle Gong doesn’t know about this? After the twins exchanged a glance, they didn’t dwell on this issue, "That’s good."
They were truly stunned, coming out of the study, to hear such explosive news.
"We simply don’t like those kinds of relatives."
Are they standing up for her? Truly worthy of the brothers she raised, seeing their sister bullied, they immediately step up to defend her, such children are truly wonderful.
"They must have come forward seeing our family’s conditions better."
"Yes, it must be like this, those kind of people are the worst." Zhuge Zisu wholeheartedly agreed with his brother’s words.
"Sister, don’t mind them; they may call themselves relatives, but we won’t acknowledge them."
The twins are also very busy people; upon hearing such explosive news, when they went to Zhao Gang, he wasn’t around.
They went to ask Zhan Jing, found that mom wasn’t feeling well, so they could only ask Gong Ruini.
Now having accurate answers, they naturally went to find a place to rest, constantly busy researching this and that, they’re quite tired.
Ah, and they just left like that? Gong Ruini wanted to ask them what they thought but didn’t expect the two of them to just walk off nonchalantly, isn’t that a bit too relaxed?
Gong Ruini yawned again, decided not to think about these issues; she needed to return to her space and continue reading, soaking up educational courses recently, feeling time was never enough.
Although secondary careers shouldn’t be abandoned, primary careers shouldn’t be relaxed in demands, she is a high achiever after all, can’t break that label.
Truly, being a genius is quite challenging, that was Gong Ruini’s first thought when she entered her space to study and snacked on many fruits before returning to her bed.
Just when Gong Ruini was about to fall asleep, she heard the phone ringing upstairs.
Gong Ruini’s first reaction was not to answer it; who would lack common courtesy to call late at night.
Gong Ruini kept retreating into her blanket, repeatedly saying it was a wrong call.
But no matter how unwilling Gong Ruini was to answer the phone, it persistently insisted.
Cao Na was also awakened by the relentless ringing.
To be honest, she was unwilling to answer, given it was past two AM; who would call at this hour.
But unable to stop the ringing, she had no choice but to answer.
"Ni Zi, Ni Zi, about my dad, dad, brother, and sister?"
"Wasn’t he said to be an only child?"
"Wasn’t he said to be an orphan?"
As soon as she picked up the phone, the other end kept pouring out words.
It was Zhao Guangran, of course, at this hour, unaware of the domestic time, no one but him would call.
Cao Na thought she might eventually forget him, but hearing his voice, her heart still ached.
No, she can’t respond, he already began a new life in the United States.
Cao Na wouldn’t investigate how Zhao Guangran was in the United States, and Gong Ruini and Zhao Xuran wouldn’t talk about his life there, but Gong Ruzhi certainly would.
Through him, Cao Na learned that Zhao Guangran was quite welcome in the United States, discussing how well he was doing, planning to buy villas and sports cars.
Thinking breaking up was the end of the world, now finding that a breakup is far from the end, allowing a new beginning.
Zhao Guangran waited on the line for ages without receiving a response, feeling puzzled.
Could it be not Gong Ruini on the other end? If it were her, she would surely start cursing.
"Are you Nana?" As if Ban Xia mentioned in passing Cao Na might be here, could it be her?
"Okay." Cao Na never expected Zhao Guangran to call her name, seems he knew she was here.
Calming her emotions, "Is everything alright in the United States?"
"Alright, that moment going out, discovering how big the world here is."
"And I’m no longer inferior, turns out I’m not that dumb." Zhao Guangran was quite surprised, nevertheless, happy hearing such news.
"You’re definitely not dumb."
Slowly, for the first time since the breakup, the two began communicating, although by phone, and through Cao Na, he learned about his nominal grandfather visiting his father.
This made Zhao Guangran angry, "No contact for years, now seeing the family doing well, they pop up."
"How do they imagine the world has such convenient matters?"
Zhao Guangran’s first thought seeing the family doing well, all these people suddenly appearing, if not for money, what for?
"Sigh, I thought Ni’s family was troubled, dealing with grandparents on both sides."
"Yet fortunately, her third uncle and uncle are decent."
Thinking this through, Zhao Guangran felt deeply frustrated, not only were his own relatives unhelpful but disruptive too.
"Exactly, belittling Ni Zi." Cao Na felt quite vexed.
What, belittling Gong Ruini? "Does my brother know?"
Haha, if big brother found out, he would certainly show no kindness to those so-called relatives.
"Do you think he wouldn’t?" Even far away, Zhao Guangran knows, it makes no sense for Zhao Xuran at home to be unaware.
Indeed, how silly, haha, being aware of this, set his mind at ease.
"Thank you, and your tutoring school seems to be doing well, keep it up, cheer up."
"Silly girl, don’t naively sacrifice for family, consider if they are worthy of your effort." Before hanging up, a thought randomly sprang to Zhao Guangran’s mind.
Zhao Guangran’s straightforward nature toward those he cares for says it as he thinks.
"I understand, I won’t be foolish like before." Hearing Zhao Guangran’s caring words, similar to before, Cao Na felt a pang in her nose.
"Over there in the United States, don’t forget food, making money is important, but health matters more."
"Yeah," Zhao Guangran hesitated, "and, if you feel comfortable, soon I’ll go with my brother to the stock market, if you’re comfortable, you can give me some money."
Regretful upon speaking, having broken up, uncertain if Cao Na could trust him.
"Okay." While she may worry about her parents and sister, she absolutely trusts Ni Zi and the others.
