Back to the 70s: My Childhood Sweetheart Spoils Me Rotten-Chapter 677 - 679 Troubles

Looking at the fuming Zhao Xuran, Gong Ruini felt that something big had happened.

Especially as he kept circling in the yard, this further convinced Gong Ruini of her thought.

Although snow watching is nice, year after year of watching snow in the Northeast might be exciting for children from the South who hadn’t seen so much snow before, but no matter how exciting, after seeing it many times, it didn’t evoke much thought.

As for taking her out to exercise, she really had to thank Zhao Xuran. Even if he was in a bad mood, he remembered to take her out to exercise, worried that she might have poor fitness from not exercising for a long time.

But Gong Ruini wanted to cry; she didn’t go outside, but that didn’t mean she exercised less.

Gong Tao and his wife worried that Gong Ruini spent all day in the room either reading, writing, or drawing, using her brain for everything, so they often had her take care of Gong Ruzhi.

With a round face, big eyes, and a milky scent, Gong Ruzhi was quite liked by Gong Ruini, although he wasn’t as well-behaved as the twins were, he was relatively okay and didn’t cry or fuss often.

But since this child discovered he could move, he crawled around on the bed a lot, and because of his strong exploratory skills, Gong Tao even placed some door panels on the ground for the little son to get good exercise.

Having children exercise is good, but Gong Ruini found it tiring, worrying he might fall off the bed.

On the floor, Gong Ruini worried he might crawl on the ground, which was really dirty. Even though she wiped the floor several times daily and didn’t allow anyone to wear shoes inside, it was cold.

One wonders if following this kid around daily was a small amount of exercise?

Gong Ruini didn’t know how many laps she’d walked in the yard, saying she was genuinely tired, especially since when they returned, who knows how the little baby would tire her out again.

"Brother Xu Ran, I’m tired." Gong Ruini didn’t expect the man to notice, so she took care of herself, "Can we take a break?"

Zhao Xuran was lost in his thoughts and hadn’t noticed much, being someone who exercised regularly, the current amount was merely a warm-up.

Upon hearing Gong Ruini talk about being tired, he snapped back to reality, "Sorry, I was thinking about something."

Of course, you were thinking, Gong Ruini uttered an "oh" and sat down in the small pavilion in the yard, even though the stone stool was cold, she couldn’t care less.

"It’s cold." Despite being troubled by various things, Zhao Xuran still pulled Gong Ruini up, "Why do you sit wherever?"

Ah, if not here, then where, "Stay standing and talk with me." Zhao Xuran thought for half a day, but couldn’t come up with a good solution.

If one says they don’t want to, he probably wouldn’t be happy about it either, so Gong Ruini just listened to him talk, silently praying for the conversation to end quickly so she could retreat.

"Grandpa Zhuge asked my parents about something." Actually, Zhao Xuran was also a bit conflicted about whether he should tell Gong Ruini, but if he didn’t, she would eventually find out.

Why was this guy speaking nonsense today? Gong Ruini was really going crazy, please, if you want to talk, say something important, why drag it out?

"He wants to choose one from Ban Xia and Zisu to be his grandson." Zhao Xuran thought a bit, and finally said it.

What’s the problem with that? Gong Ruini really didn’t understand; Zhuge Zhi had previously considered this idea, but because of opposition from the Zhuge family, he had to shelve it.

"Wasn’t it previously about adopting as a god-grandson?" Seeing Gong Ruini’s confused look, Zhao Xuran remembered his unclear explanation and added another sentence.

Ah, not a god-grandson, that’s adoption, no way. Gong Ruini gasped, "Previously just adopting as a god-grandson had opposition; now adopting someone outside the Zhuge family, they wouldn’t object?"

If an actual adoption happened, and everything was in order without any accidents, Zhuge Zhi’s possessions could end up with someone completely unrelated to the Zhuge family, would they be happy?

For just those few things, people in the Zhuge family are all greedy; when they know so much good stuff is flying away, won’t they collapse.

Most importantly, "Isn’t there Zhuge Hongjie?" He is someone from the Zhuge family and should treat Zhuge Zhi well, why not consider him, Gong Ruini really didn’t understand.

Gong Ruini was really confused, in her past life nothing like this happened, when the Shiyu Hall’s name arose, people were curious as Zhan Jing’s child had two last names, one from the father and one from the mother, but none were Zhuge.

What was going on, could it be because of the butterfly effect?

"I also brought that up. My mom said Grandpa Zhuge mentioned Hong Jie didn’t want to be adopted, saying if he was, there’d be no one to worship his parents and grandmother below." Zhao Xuran was also puzzled by why Zhuge Hongjie disagreed.

From the time this guy planned to become Zhuge Zhi’s disciple, he seemed like someone with a scheme; why would he disagree now, it was really incomprehensible.

There was more to it, Gong Ruini was stunned, although not fully understanding, it was his persistence, "Could he be expecting us to plead with him?"

Though they had previously gotten along well, some matters couldn’t be considered using their presumptive thoughts.

Zhao Xuran shook his head, "I tried today, and he mentioned many things, although not much regarding his parents, but he had a good relationship with his grandmother."

Even with Zhao Xuran saying so, Gong Ruini knew Zhuge Hongjie probably wouldn’t change his mind, "Then what to do."

Gong Ruini didn’t know what to do, as an adoption would mean losing connection with the Zhao Family, and Zhuge Zhi had many possessions; whoever gets adopted by him wouldn’t have a bad life in the future, just for the quadrangle courtyard, some rare books, and collectibles; life would be good and wealthy. Wouldn’t this cause strife between Ban Xia and Zisu?

The twins were together from birth, maybe would continue together in the future, but such a large fortune, it was unknown whether they could remain unmoved.

"I don’t know either, and whether they might have opinions against Dad and Mom later, knowing Grandpa Zhuge’s possessions are many." Zhao Xuran was not interested in these things, but he had to consider numerous factors.

Isn’t it worrying for this matter? Gong Ruini sighed; if it was a small amount of money, it would really be simple to resolve, but it was quite a lot of wealth, who could endure?

"Uncle’s opinion." Gong Ruini thought perhaps it was unreliable, otherwise Zhao Xuran wouldn’t be so troubled.

"If they had opinions, it would be easier." Zhao Xuran stared at the pond, his gaze truly lacking focus, this issue was genuinely stressful.
