Back to the 70s: My Childhood Sweetheart Spoils Me Rotten-Chapter 887 - 889: The Honest Eldest Brother

What did you talk about with Chu Ling? Hearing the girl’s question, Gong Ruwen recounted what happened in the morning.

Huh, is it that simple? Gong Ruini found it truly unbelievable, it really didn’t feel like something Chu Ling would do.

"It was just a thank you." Gong Ruwen also felt it was strange, "The main thing is that she actually didn’t leave."

"Also, she stared at you for a long time, brother." At this moment, Gong Ruini carefully stared at Gong Ruwen for a long time.

Suddenly she blurted out a sentence, she had to admit that Gong Ruwen had quite a charisma, his skin was quite delicate.

"Maybe she likes you." Gong Ruini had never seen Chu Ling stare at a man for such a long time.

Chu Ling might like him? Gong Ruwen didn’t even think, "Impossible."

"Her family background is much worse than ours."

"You see, even the Cao Family is far inferior to her family, and they still wanted Guangran to marry into their family."

"I don’t want to be suppressed by the Chu Family." Gong Ruwen never thinks about such things too much, "I’m the eldest son in the family, if I let the Chu Family suppress us, it would mean our family would be suppressed by them."

"I’d rather take my time, even if I achieve nothing in ten years, I’ll come back and inherit the business." Gong Ruwen gave himself ten years’ time.

If there’s no way to carve out a path, then switch lanes — can’t just trap myself like this.

His mind was quite clear, as for whether Zhao Guangran would feel happy, that’s for him to figure out himself.

Chu Ling is a good person, but she really might not be suitable for Big Brother.

Oh, wait, "Brother, I think we’re really overthinking it, maybe Chu Ling is just a bit curious about you and never had that thought, she’s the only granddaughter, she wouldn’t randomly marry a commoner."

Gong Ruini positioned their family as commoners, it’s impossible for that princess to take a liking to them, "Even if we have good conditions, they would not be satisfied with us."

Being friends should be no problem, but marriage alliance, Gong Ruini never considered it.

What’s going on here? Is she worried he will fall for Chu Ling?

Gong Ruwen admitted that Chu Ling was attractive, but would that be enough to like someone?

"Alright, don’t think too much, I won’t like her." Gong Ruwen assured again.

"By the way, nobody really bullied you today?" Gong Ruwen quickly changed the subject, otherwise if they kept dwelling on this topic, he’d really get frustrated.

"No, the teachers are nice, classmates are also quite honest." Maybe it was Chu Ling who subdued them, "But brother, I think it’s because of the Wei Family’s influence." 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

Gong Ruini had overheard them mentioning the Wei Family, these old matters were being brought up again all because of her.

"I think at school I shouldn’t get bullied." Gong Ruini didn’t see any issue, even if someone wanted to isolate her, so what.

"As expected of Fourth Middle School people." Gong Ruwen admired these people’s acuity, knowing that there was no rumor at all about Gong Ruini attending Fourth Middle School, just that morning, they had already connected her with it. They definitely heard their parents discussing these things.

Gong Ruini shrugged, expressing her admiration for these people, she somewhat regretted, "If I had known they were like this, I should’ve let you attend Fourth Middle School back then."

That might have enlightened Big Brother earlier, he could have met more people, maybe it would be helpful for his future career.

"I wouldn’t have thought of so many things back then." Gong Ruwen didn’t feel any regret, "Now let Guangran and the others study well too, it will be helpful in the future."

Big Brother is just so honest, always thinking about others having enough, that’s just how our Big Brother is, always thinking of others’ well-being.

"Alright, Brother, I’m going to bed, but do let Chu Ling pick her books, just don’t let her take your favorite ones." She glanced at the book-filled study.

The Gong Family siblings have different focuses when it comes to reading, but they all have rare editions of books.

Let Chu Ling pick? Gong Ruwen thought for a moment, "As long as she likes, it’s fine, and the more precious the book she picks, the better she’ll take care of you in the future."

In the end, Gong Ruwen’s mindset was simply not to worry about Chu Ling picking expensive books, but being afraid that she wouldn’t dare to choose.

Big Brother is really crafty, Gong Ruini admired him fully, well, since Big Brother had already thought it through, why should she worry about these things.

Standing in Gong Ruwen’s study, Chu Ling was truly amazed, she had thought Gong Ruwen would have taken away some important valuable books.

But scanning around, she could confirm that even if some were taken, a lot of good stuff was still left.

This guy was really too honest, did he think she wouldn’t make a move?

"Can I really choose freely?" Chu Ling asked again, as Gong Ruwen quietly sat in the chair reading a book.

The latter looked up at her, "Yes, as long as you like."

Chu Ling pulled out a Qing Dynasty book she had her eye on before, "Is this okay?"

"It’s okay." Gong Ruwen glanced at it, raising his eyebrows, it wasn’t one of his favorites, but it was indeed an interesting book.

Gong Ruwen was very curious whether Chu Ling randomly picked it or intentionally chose it, knowing there were so many books, finding it quickly like that wasn’t easy.

"Really?" Chu Ling had been searching for this book for a long time, last time she found only an incomplete version, she hadn’t expected there to be a complete version here, and well preserved throughout.

"Yes, you can take it." Gong Ruwen truly didn’t understand why Chu Ling kept asking when he had already said it so simply and straightforwardly.

Chu Ling was just testing a bit, how could she really take it away, "A gentleman doesn’t take what others love, I just have one request."

Ah, not taking this book, but wanting to make another request? Gong Ruwen didn’t immediately agree, "What request."

"I was wondering if I could copy the books in your study." Chu Ling really didn’t want to miss out on such a good treasure trove for the sake of one book.

Ah, that’s the request, "Sure." Books are meant to be shared, since Chu Ling liked them, Gong Ruwen had no objections.

"You can take them to Ni Zi’s place to copy." Gong Ruwen considerately suggested there was no need to rush copying books.

Does this mean she’s not welcome? Chu Ling truly didn’t understand why she wasn’t welcomed by Gong Ruwen, why he wanted to avoid her so much.

If he had welcomed her warmly, she had seen people like that many times, and didn’t like it at all, but Gong Ruwen’s unpretentious attitude piqued her curiosity.

Chu Ling was puzzled, but she wouldn’t speak out at this moment, after all, there’s still plenty of time.

"Alright, this way I’m at ease too."

Gong Ruwen didn’t think there was anything wrong with this, having a man and woman alone in a room would definitely feel strange to others, and since Chu Ling understood, a lot of troubles were avoided.

Gong Ruwen truly didn’t want to have much interaction with these second-generation rich kids, because they truly weren’t people he could handle.
