Back to the 70s: My Childhood Sweetheart Spoils Me Rotten-Chapter 801 - 803: Grandmother’s Frustration

Gong Ruini was worried about whether Zhao Xuran and Gong Ruwen would feel disappointed, while Zhao Gang and the others were upset because some of them were their close friends.

Back when they encountered difficulties, Zhao Gang and the others went out of their way to help, and the other party had promised beautifully to repay them.

Now, not to mention repayment, even allowing them to linger here for a while was a pipe dream.

"Remember the guests who came today, and those who left," Cai Ming said in a low yet firm voice to the children standing before him.

"Understood."

"We will remember."

"We haven’t even encountered any trouble and they’ve already withdrawn. People like this, even if we continue to cooperate with them in the future, they’re just business partners."

"We don’t have to wrong others, but for those who’ve wronged us, there’s no need to be polite."

Wan Dajun and Zhuge Zhi quietly stood in the corridor, looking at the bleak scene, hesitant to speak.

"The Wei Family is becoming increasingly arrogant." Wan Dajun was infuriated.

The Zhao Family, Gong Family, Zhuge Family, and Wei Family were not close, but the Wan Family was different, with generations of friendship. Yet, Wei Zehao was so disrespectful.

Wan Dajun could still console himself, thinking that the Weifamily acted because the Wan Family initially wronged them, but Wei Zehao’s actions today made Wan Dajun very angry.

"Now, the Wei Family is wealthy and powerful." Zhuge Zhi had seen many petty people who succeed, but he really hadn’t seen anyone more arrogant than Wei Zehao.

"However, being too arrogant and greedy also depends on their fortune," Zhuge Zhi glanced at Wan Dajun.

This old fellow sometimes overvalued so-called friendships. Now, with the Wei Family bullying, he shouldn’t naively feel indebted to the Wei Family anymore.

"Actually, even without Cai Ming, Wei Zehao would never marry Wan Qiweng." Zhuge Zhi hadn’t intended to say it, but it must be said now.

Ah, what does that mean? Why would Wan Dajun feel guilty towards the Wei Family? Wasn’t it because Wei Zehao lingered for a long time after Wan Qiweng didn’t choose him? If this were another reason, then the Wei Family was just acting.

How could Wang Wandajun, who had always been upright, swallow this insult?

Zhuge Zhi gestured for Wan Dajun to discuss inside, while leaving the mess outside to others.

Zhao Guangran was so angry that his chest heaved, and he felt deep self-blame. If only he hadn’t urged the family to make such a big affair back then. If he’d followed his brother’s wishes, wouldn’t it have been less embarrassing?

Thinking of this, Zhao Guangran was filled with various regrets, "Big brother, I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have egged on Dad."

"Brother Ruiwen, it’s all my fault."

Seeing Zhao Guangran’s anxious and guilty face, Zhao Xuran sighed. This silly fellow really thought it was all his fault, "Even without today’s banquet, he would’ve found an opportunity."

"Exactly." Gong Ruwen didn’t care much about such an important occasion being ruined.

What worried Gong Ruwen was, "Will there be a problem?"

Gong Ruwen noticed that Wei Zehao’s face was twisted with anger. How furious must he be? Moreover, he wasn’t someone who could take things lightly and would likely find a way to retaliate.

"Let him make a move if he wants," Zhao Gang genuinely didn’t care, "but it depends on whether he has the energy for it."

Zhao Gang wasn’t a fool. Even though he tolerated a lot, it didn’t mean he hadn’t dug some pits for the Wei Family.

Some things not erupting doesn’t mean they haven’t happened. "Since he’s got so much time on his hands, I think it’s time to act." Zhao Gang looked at Zhao Guangran.

"I think so too." Zhao Guangran was so excited that he almost couldn’t contain himself. He didn’t expect he’d also bear such a heavy burden.

What’s the situation here? Why is Zhao Guangran involved? Gong Ruini found it a bit odd. Had Zhao Guangran discovered something else?

But that guy wasn’t boasting around excitedly, which was truly unlike Zhao Guangran’s character.

Curiously, she looked at Zhao Guangran, hoping he’d blurt everything out in his excitement.

Feeling the focused gazes on him, Zhao Guangran was so excited he nearly let slip something he shouldn’t have, but luckily he understood the current situation, "That, I can’t say."

"Just rest assured, brother, I’ve got a plan."

Heh, still thinking of keeping secrets, Gong Ruini couldn’t deny she was itching to know the outcome, but seeing Zhao Guangran’s eager yet restrained look, she understood the matter must remain confidential.

Well then, since it’s a matter to be kept secret, let them settle it first. Prevent leaks just in case.

Although the scene earlier was a bit chaotic and the waitstaff had already retreated, it was still good to keep an eye out.

"Alright, let’s eat." Zhao Gang clapped his hands to lighten the somber atmosphere, "If we don’t eat all these delicious foods, they’ll be wasted."

For today’s banquet, they did buy lots of good stuff, and even the chef showcased his skills. They didn’t expect the good food to be barely touched.

"Eat, don’t waste it." If Zhao Guangran was very regretful, Hua Miaozhu was the most remorseful. She should never have agreed to such a grand affair. Now, it seemed they’d started off on the wrong foot. Hua Miaozhu knew this wasn’t something an old lady like her could handle, but she could bring out some good stuff to comfort Zhao Xuran and the others.

Hua Miaozhu tried her best to conceal her displeasure from the younger generations, just as everyone present was concerned about her.

Why was this event so grand if Zhao Xuran opposed it? It was because Hua Miaozhu agreed. The old lady hadn’t spoken a word, but her face was sullen, knowing her mood wasn’t good. Perhaps she was blaming herself.

"I’m okay," Hua Miaozhu smiled, sensing their cautious looks, "Actually, thinking about it, even the Wei Family came proposing marriage, proving Xuran is good."

"However, Xuran, you shouldn’t start a career before starting a family." Hua Miaozhu was very satisfied with Zhao Xuran, "Otherwise, Grandma will be very anxious."

"Grandma," Zhao Xuran quickly glanced at Gong Ruini, seeing her cheeky grin, feeling slightly unhappy, "Grandma, a man’s ambition takes him everywhere."

"I know, but starting a family is also necessary. Otherwise, what would I tell your grandfather when I join him below?" After experiencing so much in life, Hua Miaozhu just wanted to see the fourth generation.

If it were only Grandma speaking, Zhao Xuran might reason with her slowly, but once she mentioned the deceased grandfather, Zhao Xuran knew it was best to keep quiet. Persisting might anger the old lady, prompting his parents to step in, and he’d be the unfortunate one.

Hua Miaozhu didn’t concern herself with her grandson’s hidden thoughts, she didn’t care. She would let Xuran study, work, and build a career. Once he graduated, they could consider marriage.

To the old lady, starting a family must come before starting a career, but if she knew, regardless of her persuasion, she’d have to wait several more years to hug a great-grandchild, she might think differently.
