Back to the 70s: My Childhood Sweetheart Spoils Me Rotten-Chapter 850 - 852: Not Shortsighted, Just Worried

Gong Ruini thought Zhao Guangran was just falling in love with Cao Na, and as for what comes next, that’s a future concern.

As for the Cao Family wanting Cao Na’s husband to marry into their family, she felt that could be discussed slowly.

After all, in a few years, the development of the Zhao Family won’t be lacking, and when the Cao Family sees the Zhao Family’s growth trend, they shouldn’t insist on Zhao Guangran marrying in.

What Gong Ruini didn’t expect was that Zhao Guangran would actually propose to marry into the family himself.

Gong Ruini looked at Gong Ruwen in disbelief, taking a long time to come to her senses, "Why does this all sound so unbelievable to me?"

Oh my God, Gong Ruini couldn’t even imagine how Zhao Gang and his wife would think—four sons and each grandson with a different surname—just thinking about it is a headache.

"Every time Dad mentioned Uncle Zhao, he always said his family was thriving." But now, no matter how flourishing the family is, not all will carry the Zhao surname.

What’s more, Gong Ruini couldn’t imagine three different surnames on the tombstone of Zhao Gang and his wife, with the sons having one surname, three different surnames for the grandsons, or even more. Not just Zhan, but even Zhuge and Cao.

"When Uncle Zhao knew, Guangran had already made arrangements with the Cao Family." Gong Ruwen knew that Zhao Guangran had always been quite bold, just didn’t expect him to be this bold.

No way, he even played this get-the-job-done-first routine, this kid really is something else, "Uncle Zhao didn’t educate Zhao Guangran?"

Even if the Zhao Family made some concessions, it shouldn’t happen like this—it should at least be agreed upon internally first, not done his way.

"So what if he’s been educated."

"Even Brother Xuran was furious, giving that kid a hard punishment."

"In the end, Uncle Zhao went to the Cao Family and talked a lot with them, finally saying he wouldn’t marry in, but the children would carry the mother’s surname."

Although the result is the same, the Cao Family can have continued heirs and can rely on the Zhao Family—anyone with eyes can see the Zhao Family’s future development won’t be lacking.

Not marrying in is good, otherwise, Gong Ruini wondered if she’d regret all the gossip she’d hear outside. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

"Uncle Zhao is indeed impressive."

"So, in the future, won’t they live with Cao Na’s parents?" Gong Ruwen didn’t understand why Zhao Guangran didn’t consider this, "They will still say he married in."

This is something uncontrollable, after all, people can say what they want, "There’s a wedding house, a car, nothing they say will matter."

"Brother, don’t say too much about this." Gong Ruini was worried her big brother might carelessly mention this to Zhao Guangran, sparking unnecessary issues.

Is he that foolish? Gong Ruwen regretted bringing this up, "If Guangran didn’t say anything, you just don’t know anything, but he’s unlikely to go abroad."

How won’t he go abroad? Zhao Xuran had mentioned going abroad together before, and after returning from Yangcheng, they all started looking through information.

They contacted relatives through the Hua Family and Wan Family abroad to see what materials were needed to study abroad.

Gong Ruini and the others never considered publicly funded study abroad quotas, not just because they are difficult to obtain, but also because of the various hurdles, which they didn’t want to endure.

Moreover, it’s not like they didn’t have the financial means to go abroad, and Gong Ruini remembered that Zhao Guangran had selected several schools he admired.

Those were all universities with strong economic programs, and Zhao Guangran had always been quite outgoing—if he studied abroad, he’d probably adapt instantly. They never expected he would give it up.

Gong Ruini was truly incredulous, "Won’t he regret it?"

Gong Ruini really couldn’t understand if it was Zhao Guangran’s decision or Cao Na’s—after going abroad, many never return, so maybe Zhao Guangran is holding back now, but could this become a ticking time bomb?

As for regrets, how would Gong Ruwen know, he was just glad, "I won’t date in college; it’s too distracting otherwise."

"Look at Guangran; he could give up on his long-held ideas for Cao Na." Gong Ruwen could understand why Zhao Guangran did it—long-term separation is damaging to a relationship.

But understanding and agreeing are different things; in any case, Gong Ruwen would never choose to do that himself.

Looking at Gong Ruwen, who was expressing his thoughts at the moment, Gong Ruini wanted to say that sometimes things aren’t up to you—even if you don’t want to, emotions can’t be resisted when they come.

Of course, maybe her brother is usually more logical and can remain rational.

"Actually, I think Cao Na could also go abroad." Studying abroad can broaden horizons—a lot of people with formal backgrounds have studied abroad, so this way, Zhao Guangran wouldn’t have regrets, wouldn’t that be great?

Gong Ruini thought it was necessary to find some time to talk with Cao Na; she didn’t want to see her friend constantly fighting over this issue in the future.

Cao Na going abroad—this is a good idea. The key issue, however, is, "Do you think Cao Na will make her own decision on this matter?"

"Don’t look at her as just joining us in business—it’s all within a controllable range, but studying abroad, the Cao Family would consider a lot, such as Guangran seeing how good the outside world is—what if they don’t return?"

"Ni Zi, you’ve forgotten, Zhao Guangran is smart; if he gets into the university he wants, meets like-minded people, and establishes a career in the stock market, do you think he’d willingly return?"

Gong Ruwen didn’t understand much about the stock market or how to become rich in it, but he often heard their overseas relatives talk about it, saying making money is easy—but so is going bankrupt.

"This..." Gong Ruini wasn’t sure of Zhao Guangran’s stock market insights, but if he indeed succeeded, even if they made decent money, in Zhao Guangran’s world focused on stock market ventures, that’s just small capital, hard-earned money.

Gong Ruini understood why Zhao Guangran would make such a decision, "Are you saying it’s possible the Cao Family doesn’t want Zhao Guangran going abroad, so that’s why he said it?"

As for why Zhao Guangran wouldn’t admit it’s due to the Cao Family, it’s to avoid them holding any grudges against the Cao Family.

But would the Cao Family be so short-sighted? No, it’s not short-sighted—they worry that Zhao Guangran, bringing Cao Family hopes, and Cao Na, wouldn’t return.

"I’m not sure." Gong Ruwen was clueless about the intricacies, "These are just my guesses."

Your guesses? "Haven’t discussed with Brother Xuran?" Gong Ruini just casually mentioned.

Uh, about this problem, Gong Ruwen avoided answering, "Anyway, don’t tire yourself out these days."

After saying that, Gong Ruwen hastily left—the speed could even be considered a run.

Uh, what’s going on, could it really be that he discussed this with Zhao Xuran? Gong Ruini didn’t expect her brother could talk about Zhao Family matters with Zhao Xuran.

Looks like her brother has really gotten bolder during these times—if it were in the past, he absolutely wouldn’t have asked such a question.
