Back to the 70s: My Childhood Sweetheart Spoils Me Rotten-Chapter 802 - 804: Fell Asleep

Wan Dajun called Wan Qiweng to his study in the evening, making Cai Ming even more puzzled and a little uneasy.

Although he, such a poor lad, married—not really married, but more like married into the Wan family, the old man didn’t express dissatisfaction, yet he knew the old man was a bit displeased with him.

Today with Wei Zehao arriving, might the old man recall past incidents? This made Cai Ming anxious.

After coaxing the child to sleep, Cai Ming paced back and forth in the house and the yard.

It’s not that Cai Ming didn’t want to pick up his wife, but he was worried that if Wan Dajun saw him, he would be dissatisfied with him in various ways. Even if he was anxious, he could only endure.

Cai Ming was filled with unease, while Zhao Gang and Gong Tao were sitting in the study constantly discussing matters, and Zhao Xuran and Gong Ruwen were unsurprisingly also present.

As for Zhao Guangran, he was there as an observer, feeling smug.

Zhao Xuran was surprised to see Zhao Guangran present but quickly turned his attention to Zhao Gang.

Zhao Guangran felt immensely pleased upon seeing his older brother and Brother Ruiwen surprised, though he wanted to stay low-key, it was good to let Gong Ruini know he wasn’t an idiot but rather a useful person.

Zhao Guangran thought more, and if he had a choice, he hoped Gong Ruini could see it firsthand, though having Big Brother and the others present worked too.

Zhao Gang, regardless of the younger ones’ thoughts, was busy planning the tasks ahead, even though they didn’t know when Wei Zehao might retaliate. Preparing early and catching them off guard was the best approach.

Gong Ruini was unaware Zhao Guangran attended the meeting; she was preoccupied with considering how to handle Wei Zehao.

No matter how arrogant Wei Zehao might seem now, Gong Ruini never took them seriously because she knew the Wei family was only showing off temporarily; they absolutely lacked long-term influence.

Otherwise, given the Wei family’s flaunting nature, they’d continue to be arrogant.

Since history doesn’t remember them, they absolutely declined, and Gong Ruini firmly believed they posed no threat.

Yet, how did the Wei family decline? Gong Ruini genuinely had no clues, watching the moon outside while lying on the couch, truly perplexed.

"From Guangran’s demeanor, he seems to have obtained some leverage over the Wei family or Wei Zehao. But what kind of leverage could ensure they could handle the Wei family?"

Unpaid taxes? Current tax rates aren’t as terrifying as they were in the future, and the Wei family likely has relatives in the tax system.

Insufficient funds? This is possible; although the Wei family has substantial income, they also support many people, which means funding shortage isn’t unusual.

If short on cash, they could seek loans from banks. Gong Ruini seemed to recall Zhao Guangran mentioning Wei Zehao’s wife’s family worked extensively in the banking system.

With such strong in-laws as backup, would they worry about money?

Gong Ruini pondered for a long time, "Perhaps it’s infidelity, having someone outside."

Considering that Zhao Guangran knew about it, Gong Ruini found this plausible.

However, if Zhao Guangran could easily gather this information, is it true?

Or perhaps Wei Zehao shouldn’t be such a fool, knowing his wife is domineering and powerful, he wouldn’t be so stupidly reckless.

Smart people shouldn’t make such a mistake; Gong Ruini found it improbable again.

But besides this, are there other directions? Gong Ruini thought but felt directionless.

Sigh, Gong Ruini felt troubled and directionless, musing this way, really headed toward consuming all brain cells.

After thinking for a long time, Gong Ruini decided to stop musing, or she’d truly become an idiot.

After yawning, Gong Ruini decided to sleep; despite hiring someone to organize the banquet, many preparations to welcome guests were exhausting her.

Moreover, with so much brain activity, Gong Ruini soon fell into a deep sleep after lying down.

After the discussion, Gong Ruwen worried his sister might still obsess over this matter, so the anxious brother naturally went to check on Gong Ruini.

Of course, Zhao Guangran also wanted to be a good brother; he actually aimed to flaunt and boast a bit while observing Gong Ruini’s worrying demeanor.

Zhao Xuran was equally worried, concerned Ni Zi might be overthinking.

Regardless of their worry or amusement, upon seeing Gong Ruini asleep.

"No way, she actually fell asleep." Zhao Guangran felt puzzled why she slept when she should have been preoccupied.

Gong Ruwen and Zhao Xuran both sighed in relief, "Seems she’s exhausted."

Gong Ruwen carefully closed the window slightly, lest the wind blow in at night, causing Ni Zi to catch a cold.

"Alright, let’s go." Zhao Xuran checked around and then retreated.

Though Zhao Guangran yearned to shake Gong Ruini awake, showing off for a bit, he dared not.

Not even considering Ni Zi’s potential violent reaction upon waking, even Big Brother wouldn’t spare him, and Brother Ruiwen wouldn’t be polite either.

Zhao Guangran could only reluctantly leave Gong Ruini’s yard, taking frequent backward glances, lest one thought he had romantic interests toward Ni Zi.

Gong Ruwen forcefully pushed Zhao Guangran, "Alright, let’s go. Don’t linger, or I’ll tell Nana."

No way, it wasn’t that necessary, is it worth telling Cao Na? Zhao Guangran looked at Gong Ruwen with resentment, rarely having a chance to flaunt but just not given the opportunity, Zhao Guangran felt really upset.

Upon reaching the door, Zhao Guangran still stubbornly turned his head for another glance, suspecting Gong Ruini was only pretending to sleep and might secretly observe what they’d do upon leaving.

But no matter how many times he glanced back, he couldn’t catch her off guard, which stunned him.

Zhao Xuran observed his brother’s antics for too long and ran out of patience, forcibly pushing him out, "Stop fussing, it’s quite late now."

"Aren’t you considering how to act?" Zhao Xuran pondered the overwhelming tasks, wondering where his brother got so much time focusing on Ni Zi.

Doesn’t need consideration for action? Zhao Guangran appeared dazed and scorned internally, feeling his brother’s advice was overly simplistic, as if he was clueless.

Humph, he surely wasn’t the easily coaxed child he used to be.

Exhausted, Zhao Xuran ignored Zhao Guangran and turned to leave.

Watching his brother depart, Zhao Guangran hastily followed, not denying they could be testing him, but he had to leave, or he’d be in trouble.

As for Ni Zi, if she’s not curious now, he doesn’t believe she won’t be tomorrow.
