Zhao Guangran has been particularly quiet recently, especially after Cao Na proactively asked the teacher to change seats, he’s even quieter.

To be honest, Gong Ruini still hasn’t snapped out of it. Dai Yaning’s impulsiveness was beyond her expectations.

As for Cao Na, who didn’t even look for Zhao Guangran before applying to change seats, it was a blow to Zhao Guangran,

though that day Zhao Guangran said everyone needed to calm down, did he really want to calm down?

"I’m fine." Zhao Guangran knew he wasn’t in a good state right now, but he thought this might be for the best.

"I’m going to study abroad, and Cao Na is staying in the country. Four years will change a lot."

"Actually, there are a lot of people pursuing Cao Na, she’ll find someone more suitable." Zhao Guangran didn’t mention that the other day when he went out, he saw Cao Na out with some friends, talking and laughing.

Zhao Guangran didn’t know how he felt at that moment. Besides wishing Cao Na to find her happiness, he couldn’t say anything.

There are indeed many people after Cao Na, "That tutoring center thing?"

It was then Gong Ruini realized there were quite a lot of ties between them.

"If she’s willing to invest, then just let her. After all, she can make some extra money." Zhao Guangran knew the best way was for Cao Na to step back, but asking her would be excessive.

Since Zhao Guangran said so, Gong Ruini didn’t voice more. After all, from the Cao family’s perspective, they owe Cao Na, treating it as compensation.

Even if Gong Ruwen and the others had some opinions, out of respect for Zhao Guangran, they approved without objection.

They were willing to bring Cao Na along, but Cao Na wasn’t willing.

"It’s been a while, Nana." Gong Ruini was pretty surprised when Cao Na came to find her. Previously, it was always half-hearted when she sought her out.

Looking at Gong Ruini, Cao Na had thought about giving up her cold demeanor and having a heart-to-heart talk.

But she remembered what her sister said that day and swallowed it down. Her sister was right; although Gong Ruini is her friend, she’s also Zhao Guangran’s sister-in-law.

As in-laws, they surely have their own plans. She would only consider her own interests, and Zhao Guangran is greatly influenced by her, the only grip on him.

"Things are okay. As for the previously suggested tutoring center, I’m not planning to join, and I want to sell my shares. A friend offered ten thousand, you can take it yourselves, or I can sell to them."

"Ni Zi, you mentioned before that you have the first right of refusal if the price is the same."

"I’ll give you three days." Saying that, Cao Na walked off.

Gong Ruini was stunned. Their tutoring center hasn’t even officially taken off, and they’re only in the initial investment phase. Why is Cao Na suddenly asking for money, what’s her point?

Receiving Cao Na’s notice, Gong Ruini naturally had to hastily call everyone to a meeting to discuss this.

Gong Jiaming was so mad he almost jumped up, "Why doesn’t she just go rob someone."

"Exactly." Zhan Banxia was even more dissatisfied. The incident with Dai Yaning already made him quite angry, and now this happens.

"Second brother, I don’t like her as my second sister-in-law, if you insist on marrying her I have no objections, but I won’t call her sister-in-law." Zhan Banxia stated his position, even if it might offend someone, he didn’t care.

"Me too." Zhuge Zisu chimed in with his stance.

Zhao Guangran was truly infuriated. Actually, when he saw Cao Na going to find Gong Ruini today, he thought it was to reconcile. He was quite happy, never expecting this.

"Fine, give her the money, I’ll cover it." Since this is what she wants, then give her everything she desires.

"And ask about the Hot Spring Villa, whether she’s going to give that up too."

"If not, then pay up."

"Brother, just be a little generous and see how she reacts." No matter what Cao Na is planning, pulling this move, let her have what she wants.

After saying this, Zhao Guangran rushed out, his swift movement startling everyone present.

Well, what else could Gong Ruini do but dumbly comply.

"I’ll find a lawyer and draft an agreement, can’t have any lingering issues." Zhao Xuran really couldn’t understand how Cao Na came up with this idea.

"It was just supposed to be a cooling down period."

"The problem is no one wants to compromise." What could Gong Ruini say, "In class, they completely ignore each other."

Sigh, to say Zhao Guangran was wrong, actually Cao Na also has issues.

"Guangran has a bad temper, but isn’t it also a problem with Cao Na? Maybe she thinks our earnings, giving some to her sister, what’s the big deal, but why doesn’t she consider if there’s no effort, how can there be rewards."

Zhao Xuran couldn’t understand how easily Cao Na was brainwashed by Cao Li. Since she thinks this way, then let her continue with this thought.

Zhao Xuran can’t wait to see what kind of good man Cao Na meets after leaving them, and how she’ll earn money.

Cao Na didn’t expect her proposal to actually go through, it would be a lie to say she’s not flustered.

Seeing the slightly panicked Cao Na, Gong Ruini held back words of comfort. No surprise, this girl must be following her sister’s advice.

Gong Ruini didn’t know what experiences Cao Li had gone through to become like this, but if Cao Na has to discuss everything with her sister and follow her advice, future conflicts are inevitable.

Forget it, just end it here, to prevent a third person from intruding on Zhao Guangran and Cao Na’s marriage later.

"The money for the Hot Spring Villa needs to be invested, are you going to invest or withdraw?" Though reluctant, Gong Ruini still asked.

What, another investment? When did she put money in? Cao Na looked bewildered.

See, Zhao Guangran, that silly guy, went ahead and invested nonchalantly, "He already invested once before, must have been Guangran."

Oh, was it Guangran who did? Cao Na was taken aback, she really didn’t know. Actually, now she felt things were getting messy,

Nope, can’t think about Zhao Guangran, and now Gong Ruini mentioning him, isn’t that just to make her soften up?

Can’t soften up, otherwise, she’d just end up being suppressed by Gong Ruini.

Holding back the flutter in her heart, Cao Na pursed her lips, "Alright, then make it five thousand."

Five thousand, for someone who hasn’t invested a single cent to demand five thousand, Gong Ruini almost wanted to give this girl a beating, really never seen someone like this.

Gong Ruini held back for quite a while before suppressing the urge. If someone wants to shoot themselves in the foot, she’ll let them have their way.

The more trouble Cao Na stirs now, the more she’ll regret it later, "Alright, I’ll go back and discuss it."

Having already experienced Cao Na’s bold demands once, upon hearing her demand five thousand again, everyone’s gaze turned to Zhao Guangran. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Zhao Guangran sighed, "Big brother, lend me five thousand."

"Once I give her this money, I owe her nothing more." It’s all over, Zhao Guangran felt extremely tired.

"In the future, I won’t be this tired again, I have to find a woman who loves me, not just someone I love." Zhao Guangran stated that after experiencing this once, he doesn’t want to go through it a second time.

Seeing how much Zhao Guangran had aged over the past few days, Gong Ruini could only hope he recovers soon.
