Chapter 788: Chapter 790: The Uncle of the Sandwich Cookie

Zhao Xuran just saw Gong Ruzhi running as if something was chasing him, and he found it strange.

Though Gong Ruini often playfully fights with Gong Ruzhi, she’s never seen him like this.

Could it be that Gong Ruzhi did something bad when they weren’t around? But it doesn’t add up; if that were the case, even if Gong Ruzhi didn’t say anything, someone would have tattled.

However, Zhao Xuran hasn’t received any complaints from the "Ear God," so does it mean Ni Zi is acting like a pig?

But hasn’t the pillow been thrown onto the battlefield?

While Zhao Xuran hesitated, Gong Ruini stormed out angrily, "Where’s Gong Ruzhi?"

This was a big problem, Zhao Xuran realized that Gong Ruzhi rolling away like that definitely meant trouble, he didn’t expect it to be so serious that Gong Ruini would utter his name directly.

If Gong Ruini weren’t half-dead with anger, she would only call him Xiao Zhi.

"What happened?" Zhao Xuran cautiously caught Wan Yihui, "No more playing."

Oh, no more playing, Wan Yihui felt extremely reluctant, but seeing Zhao Xuran’s serious face, he could only acknowledge with an "oh."

"Let me down." Since they weren’t playing ’throw high,’ he could go find Sister Ni, Wan Yihui excitedly ran to Gong Ruini.

Seeing him run off, this guy, Gong Ruini really wanted to be half-dead with anger at Gong Ruzhi, wondering whether he’s smart or not using his brain.

"Xiao Hui, tell sister, did Brother Xiao Zhi ask you to help sell popsicles?" Gong Ruini thought Wan Yihui had noticeably tanned lately.

Initially, Gong Ruini thought that the darker skin indicated this kid had been tirelessly playing and causing trouble outside.

Now that she knew the actual reason, how could she not be angry?

Oh, Gong Ruzhi started selling popsicles as a business and even got Xiao Hui to help? No way, how dare he have such boldness, knowing Wan Qiweng really treasures her son.

"Well, no." Wan Yihui shook his head rapidly, "No, I haven’t been helping brother sell popsicles."

If it were information from someone else, Gong Ruini would think Wan Yihui’s words made sense, but it was Gong Ruzhi who said it himself, if it weren’t true, he wouldn’t be so smug.

Unexpectedly, Wan Yihui is sticking by his brother, Gong Ruini was really angry, "Xiao Zhi already admitted."

Oh, no way, Wan Yihui’s mouth opened wide, "Brother said it was a secret between him and me."

Hmph, he asked him to keep it secret yet told Sister Ni, Brother Xiao Zhi is too wicked, Wan Yihui decided not to help Gong Ruzhi keep the secret.

"Yeah, I helped Brother Xiao Zhi sell popsicles, then he gave me popsicles to eat."

"I can eat three popsicles every day." Wan Yihui even held up three fingers to demonstrate that he wasn’t wrong.

Three popsicles, Gong Ruini was really about to be faint with anger at Gong Ruzhi, "You can’t eat so many popsicles."

Even though popsicles now don’t have many additives and are fairly authentic, can a child this age eat so many?

Really treating his stomach like a freezer, thinking it doesn’t matter how many go in?

Gong Ruini was really furious, if it weren’t for almost forcing Wan Yihui to work, this kid’s mouth was relatively tight, probably wouldn’t reveal it.

Just even if revealed, the problem wouldn’t be too big, but now the issue is quite serious.

Even with her uncle’s influence, it’s anticipated Wan Qiweng wouldn’t be pleased, this situation is quite knotted.

What to do, Gong Ruini panicked, and could only look at Zhao Xuran.

"I’m fine, brother always lets the popsicle melt into water for me to drink." Wan Yihui wasn’t foolish, seeing Gong Ruini’s expression wasn’t good, he knew he probably misspoke.

Melt into water, hmph, fortunately, this kid still had some sense, didn’t directly let Wan Yihui eat the popsicle, but this isn’t just that.

Zhao Xuran frowned slightly, "This matter seems impossible to hide."

It’s not a matter of one day or two, not saying doesn’t mean it can be unsaid, but it’s not a short-term action, even if at first not noticed, won’t it eventually be discovered?

As for why no adult has stepped forward to say anything so far, Zhao Xuran didn’t know, "Maybe they are waiting for someone to apologize."

Exactly, sigh, Gong Ruini was a bit worried about Wan Qiweng’s reaction if he found out, but the matter was done by Gong Ruzhi, if he doesn’t apologize and just lets it pass, how would it appear to those people?

"I’ll go talk to Xiao Zhi." Gong Ruini felt helpless, Xiao Zhi listens to her quite a bit, but this kid is also quite stubborn.

As long as he believes there’s nothing wrong, no matter how she reasons with him, he won’t think he’s wrong, and now he probably thinks he’s right.

"Let me do it." Zhao Xuran was concerned about the just awoken Gong Ruini, who might not be entirely clear-minded, if she speaks with Gong Ruzhi in a harsher tone, it might frighten the kid, causing trouble.

Seeing Zhao Xuran step up, Gong Ruini sighed in relief, she was genuinely worried about what would happen if Gong Ruzhi argued with her, not wanting the issue to escalate. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

Now Zhao Xuran took the initiative, considering her younger brother’s admiration for him, maybe things could be resolved more easily, "Thank you, Brother Xu Ran."

"No need to thank, find a chance to talk to uncle." Hopefully, Wan Qiweng will consider Cai Ming’s regard and not hold views against Gong Ruzhi.

Gong Ruini sighed, her silly brother’s mess now falling on her to clean up.

Cai Ming was busy and just planned to relax when Gong Ruini stopped him, "What’s wrong?"

At first glance, it seemed he just got up, so why come to him, could a major issue have occurred? Cai Ming found it strange.

"Let’s find a place to talk." Gong Ruini was immensely relieved she didn’t go to the courtyard where Cai Ming lived to call people, otherwise Cai Ming would struggle to find an excuse.

Find a place to talk, Cai Ming glanced around and saw this quiet spot was on the way to his courtyard; is this trying not to let his wife know?

Cai Ming found it odd, why was Ni Zi hiding something from his wife.

After finding a quiet place, Gong Ruini softly explained Gong Ruzhi’s foolish actions, "Uncle, I will severely scold Xiao Zhi."

Cai Ming didn’t expect it to be about this, "Letting Xiao Hui work is normal, what you guys could do when young, he should logically be able to do."

Actually, this son being a bit spoiled by his wife, fortunately, there’s someone above setting an example, or else he’d worry about nurturing a little tyrant.

"It’s just that eating three popsicles daily is a bit much." His wife is particularly cautious with food.

That’s the issue Gong Ruini is worried about, she could only gaze pitifully at Cai Ming, hoping he’d offer a solution.

What could Cai Ming do, caught between his wife and his pitiful niece, "I’ll think about what to do."

Cai Ming truly couldn’t imagine how his wife would react if she knew, whether she’d be angry or have opinions about the relatives.

Sigh, headache, Cai Ming felt truly troubled.

Even the uncle felt troubled, Gong Ruini didn’t know what to do either, "Uncle."

Hopefully, nothing has happened to Xiao Zhi, Gong Ruini panicked.

Cai Ming felt uneasy too, but seeing Gong Ruini panic, he tried to calm her, "Don’t worry, uncle will handle this."

Regardless, being stuck between them, he had to resolve it.
