Back to the 70s: My Childhood Sweetheart Spoils Me Rotten-Chapter 874 - 876: Impressive Results

Cautiously following the steps Gong Ruini taught him before, Zhao Guangran wanted to cry after making a dessert.

"Can I not eat it?" Zhao Guangran looked at the dessert that looked like it could score at least eighty points, really reluctant to eat it.

Not eat it? Compared to Zhao Guangran’s excitement, this dessert in Gong Ruini’s eyes could only score sixty points.

As for the taste, Gong Ruini hoped it wouldn’t be too bad, otherwise this debut would really be ruined.

Gong Ruini took another taste of the leftover filling that Zhao Guangran made; it was still okay, not great, but at least passable, and should not make Mrs. Cao eat it reluctantly.

"If you don’t eat it, how will you show respect to your mother-in-law?"

"And Brother Guangran, haven’t you forgotten something?" Gong Ruini felt there was something strange before, but couldn’t pinpoint the issue after thinking for a long time.

Staring at the dessert for a long time, and then seeing Zhao Guangran actually intending to walk away with it, she finally recalled what the problem was.

Forgotten something? What? Zhao Guangran was nervous, after all, it was his debut today. What if he messed it up?

For today’s debut, Cao Na had already talked to her mom for several days. In short, today must succeed; no other result was acceptable.

He really did forget; this is indeed a son, "You forgot to make an extra one." Gong Ruini reminded helplessly.

Ah, missing a portion? Zhao Guangran’s first reaction was, "Oh yeah, I haven’t made one for Nana."

Zhao Guangran hurriedly put down the plate in his hand; pleasing the mother-in-law is important, but so is the wife.

Oh my, Gong Ruini was speechless, luckily he is not her son, otherwise, she would be furious, "Didn’t you think of making one for Aunt Zhan?"

It is really unimaginable, Zhao Guangran holding two desserts, one for Mrs. Cao and then seeing Zhan Jing expectantly thinking the other was for her.

What if Zhan Jing smiles gently, waiting for the son to give her the dessert, only to see Zhao Guangran give it to Cao Na, that scene.

Gong Ruini shrunk her neck, can’t imagine, mustn’t imagine. Not to mention the awkwardness between Mrs. Cao and her daughter, even Zhan Jing would be embarrassed to death.

"About my mom..." Zhao Guangran wanted to say his mom likes what Ni Zi makes, if not, isn’t there the eldest brother.

You have to know that the eldest brother’s dessert skills are better than his. With his limited skill, it’s better not to embarrass himself by taking it out.

"No matter how it is, a mother will never mind." 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

"More importantly, think about it, there’s a portion for Cao Na and none for Aunt Zhan, how would she feel?"

"How would everyone think? Wouldn’t they feel you are dissatisfied with your mom?" With four sons, even if some are adopted out, didn’t people outside talk?

There would be talks about Zisu being lucky, inheriting the huge Zhuge family industry.

As for the eldest, Zhao Xuran, now Zhao Gang’s all kinds of nurturing and taking to events clearly points to him as the future heir of the Zhao Family.

The third, Ban Xia, follows Zhuge Zhi, also appearing in many venues, studying Chinese medicine with a bright future.

Yet the second one, Zhao Guangran, everyone feels this son is the least cared for, and so on.

Even someone like Gong Ruini, who doesn’t like listening to outside gossip, could hear these rumors, showing how widespread the spread was.

Ah, Zhao Guangran did not expect just a dessert to have so many implications; he was genuinely convinced, "If they have time to worry about others’ family affairs, they might as well think about how to make money."

This makes sense, but not gossiping is impossible, "Some love gossip, some see it as an opportunity to dissect us."

Standing from different perspectives, there will be various thoughts, including reaching this step with so many enemies; what else can we do but be cautious?

Zhao Guangran sighed inwardly, "My brother told me before, I thought he was overthinking, just that one sentence."

In front of Zhao Xuran, Zhao Guangran couldn’t say his eldest brother was overthinking and didn’t complain, but now being taught by Gong Ruini again made him value this.

Could it be he really thought too simply before, "Ni Zi, how do you think of all this?"

Thinking much? Gong Ruini did not feel she thought too much, but being backstabbed so many times, she got used to it.

"You’ll know after suffering losses." Gong Ruini said mystically, planning to leave.

Know after suffering losses? Ni Zi suffered losses? One could say spending more time with Gong Ruini than with girlfriends left Zhao Guangran dumbfounded.

Zhao Guangran thought for a long time, really couldn’t remember where Gong Ruini had lost out; thinking for a long time and still not clear, "I can’t recall."

"Is it about the last time she fainted?" Zhao Guangran thought for a long time; besides this, he really couldn’t think of another possibility.

But that’s not right; hasn’t he been hurt before? Those rumors have included him, with all kinds of sarcasm, why is it like this?

Zhao Guangran didn’t understand, "Forget it, since both elder brother and Ni Zi say so, I’ll just be careful."

Zhao Guangran focused on making desserts; in short, he must perform well, showing them his skills.

"How’s it going?" Zhao Xuran waited outside the kitchen, greeted Gong Ruini as she came out.

"It’s alright, but Xiao Zhi and the others will be disappointed." Knowing that Zhao Guangran was going to make desserts, the kids with Gong Ruzhi were thrilled, eagerly anticipating Guangran’s culinary skills.

They even privately placed bets on how Guangran’s cooking would be, reportedly even opening a betting pool. Gong Ruini specifically looked into it and reportedly no one favored Guangran’s culinary skills.

This amused Gong Ruini greatly; this did not give Zhao Guangran any face. Fortunately, these kids knew not to let Zhao Guangran know and didn’t announce it, otherwise, he would surely be severely scolded.

"They don’t have a share, right?" Zhao Xuran also knew, with his own brother’s cooking skills and dessert-making speed, making a portion for everyone would really be stressful.

"Not only do they not have a share, it almost was just Mrs. Cao who had a share." Gong Ruini recounted the previous incident.

An unsurprising matter, "Thank you for your effort." If really just one dessert was presented, today’s gathering would truly be ruined.

"I’m fine." Gong Ruini naturally wouldn’t blatantly admit she was tired, more importantly, today’s blunder by Zhao Guangran was something she could talk about for hundreds of times, making Zhao Guangran go crazy with frustration.

"Alright, let’s head out. Also, Chu Ling is here." Zhao Xuran remembered something.
