Back to the 70s: My Childhood Sweetheart Spoils Me Rotten-Chapter 800 - 802: Let’s Unite in Marriage

Wei Zehao holds a glass of wine and greets some familiar people, ignoring the surprised glances around him.

He doesn’t care about these people’s thoughts; for him, why shouldn’t he be here?

Even if they are rivals in business, it’s essential to be present at such important events.

"Hello, Brother Zhao, congratulations to your young master."

"Brother Gong, congratulations to your young master."

Zhao Gang and Gong Tao were quite surprised by Wei Zehao’s presence; they truly didn’t expect this guy would show up, especially since they hadn’t sent him an invitation.

The problem is, since he appeared with a gift, they can’t just kick him out; to do so would reflect poorly on them.

"Hello, Uncle Wei," Zhao Xuran and Gong Ruwen politely greeted.

"Zhao Xuran, not bad." Wei Zehao is quite pleased with Zhao Xuran; the young man has good grades but isn’t just a bookworm.

Although his family background seems a bit lacking now, the young man has ambition; if he had the support of the Wei Family, his future could be promising.

"Oh, not at all." Zhao Xuran doesn’t understand why Wei Zehao keeps staring at him; it feels increasingly odd.

Zhao Gang also notices Wei Zehao’s odd behavior; perhaps he’s trying to praise Xuran while disparaging Gong Ruwen, creating dissatisfaction between the two young men? 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

"About to go to university; in the past, it was possible to consider marriage," Wei Zehao speaks directly to address Zhao Gang’s doubts.

From his perspective, the Wei Family’s connections are unmatched by either the Zhao Family or Gong Family, even with the Wan Family.

Perhaps the Wei Family were cautious in the past, but after various marriages, their power and connections have significantly advanced.

If a young man has ambition and ideas, Wei Zehao doesn’t believe he would pass up such a good opportunity.

Hearing about considering marriage, Gong Ruini nearly kicks Wei Zehao out, realizing his cunning presence spells no good.

See? Under the guise of congratulations, he’s actually trying to steal the most promising Zhao Xuran away, a thought that infuriates Gong Ruini.

Indeed, when a person is too exceptional, they attract much attention, Gong Ruini pouts.

"I’m still a student. My current focus is on studies," Zhao Xuran responds calmly despite his surprise.

Ignoring the fact that he currently has someone he likes, even without that, he wouldn’t be interested in the Wei family’s girls.

The Wei family’s way of doing things is exceptionally domineering; though it seems fine now, an internal, inherent decay that cannot be resolved ruins whatever development they might have.

Is this a rejection? Wei Zehao might not have proposed this from a place of charity, but he at least feels there shouldn’t be a reason to object.

After hearing Zhao Xuran’s refusal, despite the reasoning sounding like academic priority, at its core, it’s rejection.

Wei Zehao’s eyes narrow, looking at Zhao Xuran with malice, chuckling darkly, "You’re young; there are many things you don’t understand."

Humph, a young lad, viewing himself as someone extraordinary, truly believing that topping the entrance exams is some great achievement, when in reality, a top exam score is worth so little.

Wei Zehao turns to Zhao Gang, "Brother Zhao, what do you think?"

Of course, Zhao Gang wouldn’t want a Wei family girl; as the Wei family’s status has risen due to development, the family has become quite notorious, especially the daughters, who are overbearing.

Zhao Gang won’t welcome such a daughter-in-law into the family; it’s less marriage and more inviting trouble into the home, "The son is still young; at least, until he has established his career, he won’t consider this matter."

Not to mention, even if the son establishes his career, they won’t fear the Wei family anymore.

A career? Such belief in Zhao Xuran that they’d truly think everything will succeed? Wei Zehao feels utterly disappointed.

"Build a career and establish a family; one should marry before establishing a career." If it were ordinary people, Wei Zehao would have left long ago, but considering Zhao Xuran’s background, he can’t give up.

"Without a career, how can one establish a family?"

"I can’t let people think I’m relying on someone to build my career," Zhao Xuran tries to convey his unwillingness to be linked with the Wei family, but adjusts his tone.

"Very well, excellent," Wei Zehao remains hopeful about Zhao Xuran but it doesn’t mean he will lower his standards.

To him, he’s said enough; if they don’t heed kindness, they’ll soon face consequences; the Wei family’s reputation isn’t so easily refuted.

Wei Zehao finishes his drink in one sip, "In that case, I’m leaving."

After taking a few steps, he adds, "Some things can still be regretted now; soon, once I walk out of this door, it will be too late."

Initially planning to connect through marriage and expand influence gradually; however, with such disrespect, he’ll let them suffer greater losses.

If they don’t end up begging him, he won’t be surnamed Wei.

"Regret or not, we can’t say, but we do know our bottom line," Zhao Gang knows he’s offended Wei Zehao, but offense is necessary.

If they agree to this now, there’s no telling how the Wei family might exploit further.

Previously allied families with the Wei family had been drained, and despite grudges, even without, they wouldn’t agree.

"Don’t regret it, fine." Wei Zehao determines he must give these people a severe lesson.

Initially, he thought securing assets or connections would suffice, but now, Wei Zehao changes his mind.

Aren’t these people stubborn? So principled? Send them all back to Northeastern Rural to farm; let them return where they came from.

Wei Zehao storms off. As many onlookers witness his departure with harsh words, some also begin to take their leave.

For them, Zhao Gang has always been fair in business, but only has Zhuge Zhi backing him, though he assists many in high positions, he’s merely a doctor.

Wei Zehao, as the heir to the Wei family, is supported by many influential relatives, making matters easy to handle.

Watching the business partners find excuses to leave one after another, Gong Ruini’s expression darkens.

After Wei Zehao’s angry departure, Gong Ruini knew some would leave, but hadn’t expected many leaving nearly empties the place, starkly contrasting the earlier lively scene.

If she hadn’t been present the whole time, Gong Ruini would think she’s dreaming, truly too angry to articulate.

Gong Ruini understands their fear, but they fail to consider this was essentially the kids’ introduction to the social sphere; their decisiveness seems excessive.

Seeing Gong Ruini’s complexion pale with anger, Zhao Xuran grasps her hand, "It’s alright; it’s quite normal for some fair-weather friends to leave."

Only in such circumstances can one truly see people’s real faces; better to find out early some aren’t worth the effort.
