Back to the 70s: My Childhood Sweetheart Spoils Me Rotten-Chapter 771 - 773 Betrayal of Sisters
Zhao Guangran waited and waited, finally catching sight of Cao Na, but he wasn’t too pleased with the person trailing behind her.
"Hello Aunt Wan, Uncle Cai." After greeting everyone, Cao Na huffily pulled Gong Ruini aside to whisper.
Seeing Cao Na head inside with an unhappy expression, pulling Gong Ruini aside, Zhao Guangran’s first thought was that Cao Na was dissatisfied with her follower.
Indeed, if it were him, he’d be upset too. Even if Cao Na wasn’t familiar with Yangcheng, there’s no need to follow her every move like she’s someone who needs supervision.
Zhao Guangran felt better just thinking that Cao Na didn’t have a good impression of Wang Yufan.
When a person is in a good mood, everyone seems more agreeable. "Have you had breakfast yet?"
"I ate, but I’m hungry now." Rushing to leave, Wang Yufan only had a bit of breakfast, and having walked all the way here, his stomach was quite empty.
He originally planned to take them out to eat later, just to grab a little bite, but he didn’t expect anyone to invite him to eat.
What surprised Wang Yufan even more was the guy who had no affection for him, often staring at him with cool eyes, calling him to eat.
This made him excited, realizing perhaps he had been overthinking things before. "Thanks, buddy."
"No worries, eat more. Apologies for yesterday." Feeling good, Zhao Guangran apologized for his behavior yesterday, "We just got off the train and were quite hungry."
"And before coming here, we heard Yangcheng’s food was tasty, so we weren’t paying attention."
Wang Yufan felt a little pain about spending the money, but later his sister-in-law compensated him, and hearing this explanation now seemed quite normal.
"Yes, when my brother and I took the train to Beijing, after getting off, I didn’t feel like myself..." They’ve all traveled far, and have quite a broad understanding.
They hadn’t talked much before because Zhao Guangran found every little thing displeasing about Wang Yufan. Now in a good mood, he was chatting enthusiastically and realized they actually got along quite well.
Gong Ruini had just calmed Cao Na down, returned to her seat to eat, and found Zhao Guangran and Wang Yufan chatting and laughing.
Could this guy be trying to pry information from the other side? That was Gong Ruini’s first thought upon seeing this scene, otherwise, with that earlier glare like he wanted to burn holes through Wang Yufan, could they really chat well?
But then looking at Zhao Guangran’s genuine smile, Gong Ruini felt confused, thinking it didn’t seem like a social obligation, it was a heartfelt laugh.
What was going on, Gong Ruini felt surprised, could this be what’s called friendship between guys?
If it really was like this, then it indeed compares with women, but having a good relationship is better than it being stiff.
Originally, Gong Ruini genuinely worried today’s outing would be awkward, and she’d be stuck in the middle.
Whether to lighten the mood with some jokes or just pretend not to know, just walk along.
Now everything was back to normal, really feeling today’s weather was just that pleasant.
As to why Zhao Guangran suddenly became easygoing and cooperative, Gong Ruini had no intention of probing.
If she asked something awkwardly, what if this proud and suspicious man got upset again?
"Hello Ni Zi," Wang Yufan greeted Gong Ruini when he saw her and then warmly talked to Zhao Guangran.
In between, he didn’t look at Cao Na at all, so naturally Zhao Guangran meticulously observed Wang Yufan when Gong Ruini and the others came over.
Noticing Wang Yufan didn’t intend to greet Cao Na, his mood improved greatly.
"By the way, what’s up with Nana?" Zhao Guangran hoped Wang Yufan wouldn’t pay too much attention to Cao Na, but he was concerned.
"It’s nothing, just about Sister Lili," Gong Ruini didn’t want to say much, and even she couldn’t intervene in this matter.
Cao Na’s perspective was correct, but saying Cao Li’s thoughts were wrong, wasn’t right either. Actually, if they each stepped back, things would be resolved.
Gong Ruini was confident Cao Na would ultimately yield, and hoped Cao Li would be willing to listen.
"My sister is about to become an immortal." Cao Na entered from outside, visibly displeased.
"I just called my mom and told her about my sister’s situation." Cao Na couldn’t reason with her sister, but that didn’t mean she was powerless.
Cao Na didn’t believe her sister wouldn’t listen to their mom; since her brother-in-law also couldn’t manage, she let their mom handle it.
Ah, made a call, Gong Ruini really didn’t expect Cao Na would directly escalate this matter. They have a great relationship and typically wouldn’t tell their elders about their issues. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺
Gong Ruini could foresee Cao Na’s mom, after receiving this call, immediately phoning Cao Li for a severe scolding.
The problem is that the strong-minded Cao Li wouldn’t be mad at mom, but would she let Cao Na off the hook?
Would they end up betraying each other, Gong Ruini felt the Cao sisters might become a battleground.
"I’ve brought some clothes over, so long as my sister won’t let it go, I won’t go back." Cao Na wasn’t naive, she knew her older brother would definitely be angry.
For her own safety, she was finding a secure place to stay.
In Yangcheng, aside from Gong Ruini’s place, where else could be safer?
Seems like a plan was already made, "Aren’t you worried your sister will reveal your matters?"
Her matters? What matters could she have for her sister to reveal? Cao Na didn’t immediately get it.
"Ah, but I’m not scared." After an exclamation, Cao Na wasn’t worried anymore.
"I’m already in Yangcheng." Cao Na was truly unconcerned, "And money in the bank depreciates anyway."
"I estimate my parents are also aware, they’re just staying quiet."
This girl had already figured it out, as the person involved wasn’t worried, she certainly wouldn’t worry either.
"I need to speed up, I must finalize the house before my parents come to Yangcheng." Maybe her parents tacitly agreed, but wouldn’t let her be reckless.
The important thing is that Cao Na didn’t dare to gamble. If her parents eventually disagreed, she’d be heartbroken.
"I’m thinking of buying two houses; one for my sister. I never gave her a wedding gift." Cao Na felt this idea was good.
Oh dear, Gong Ruini really felt like kneeling to her, a little sister buying a house for Cao Li, how would Cao Li’s husband feel?
Cao Li might not overthink, but would her husband?
As a man, about to be a dad, accepting a house from a still-studying little sister-in-law, Gong Ruini couldn’t imagine how Cao Li’s husband would feel.
Maybe he’d feel very humiliated; Gong Ruini found it troubling, continuously signaling Zhao Guangran to persuade her wisely.
