Back to the 70s: My Childhood Sweetheart Spoils Me Rotten

Chapter 1104 - 1106: All an Act

Gong Ruini got out of the car with a worried look on her face, and Zhao Xuran also looked helpless.

Gong Ruwen came out to greet them, "How did it go?"

Gong Ruini shook her head, "I’m tired, I want to go back and rest."

Why is she tired? Gong Ruwen heard a bit from Zhao Xuran, and if he didn’t have something to do today, he would have wanted to go with them.

Actually, he was quite uneasy, what if the other party acted unreasonably against them?

The thought of Zhao Xuran taking Gong Ruini to find Wei Zehao made his expression unhappy.

Especially seeing his sister saying she was very tired, the look he gave Zhao Xuran turned sour.

"You." Gong Ruwen said this to Zhao Xuran angrily before turning around and going inside.

Some old neighbors around saw Zhao Xuran standing helplessly by the car, and they all comforted him in unison.

Zhao Xuran felt both amused and frustrated, he wanted to say that Gong Ruini was actually contemplating things, not that they had relationship problems.

But he couldn’t explain, even though they were old neighbors, not many were spared from gossip.

Maybe some people inadvertently spread the news, but with so many watching them, they couldn’t fail at this point.

Didn’t they see once high-and-mighty Wei Zehao now living humbly in the Shen family? At least he could fully relax at home.

"I’m fine, I’m fine."

"It’s my fault, I shouldn’t have made Ni Zi angry."

At this point, although some wanted to say Zhao Xuran had done something wrong before, just talking to a girl twice and it became such a heated rumor seemed a bit much.

"That girl who chatted you up was too much."

"Yeah, she didn’t just come over on her own but also talked about how things were with you."

Even though they didn’t know when Zhao Xuran and Gong Ruini got together, they had watched them grow up, and they really couldn’t imagine Zhao Xuran doing such foolish things.

"Actually, some fault lies with Gong Ruini; if she wasn’t acting up, it wouldn’t have turned out like this." A sharp female voice chimed in.

"Obviously, she should trust her man, but what did she do?"

"Yeah, exactly."

Zhao Xuran looked helplessly at the various old neighbors comforting him, really wanting to retreat and leave.

Unexpectedly, just as he was about to retreat, he heard such a remark.

It sounded like they were standing up for him, but it was also subtly stirring trouble between him and Gong Ruini.

He glanced at the person who spoke, and although they avoided his gaze, Zhao Xuran recognized them.

It was her, it actually was her; Gong Ruini was quite surprised, but she quickly shifted her gaze.

Someone felt really nervous when Zhao Xuran looked over, worried about what would happen if he really found out.

Unexpectedly, after all that tension, nothing happened, and she breathed a sigh of relief.

"I didn’t give Ni Zi a sense of security. If I had done better, she wouldn’t be like this." Zhao Xuran continued to take responsibility.

Zhao Xuran’s behavior earned him quite a few praises.

He of course responded modestly, causing Gong Ruini to become red with anger.

"Hmph, this guy is trying all ways to clear his name."

Clearly, there was no problem with their relationship, they were just acting, yet all the credit went to Zhao Xuran, even though she was also a victim.

Unfortunately, due to someone’s meddling, she was painted as an unreasonable person.

This ire, how could Gong Ruini swallow it? If she was really unreasonable, that’d be one thing, but she always tried to be fair.

"Annoying." Gong Ruzhi saw Gong Ruini come back and excitedly ran over, just about to complain to his sister about being bored at home and why she didn’t take him along.

Unexpectedly, he heard such talk and became upset immediately.

"It’s indeed frustrating," Gong Ruwen also stood up for his sister.

"Yeah, they’re smearing my sister." Gong Ruzhi bore a grudge against Zhao Xuran.

You see, after Zhao Xuran came back, he checked the kids’ homework one by one and was dissatisfied, punishing them thoroughly.

Gong Ruzhi didn’t dare to complain because no one would support him; he simply hadn’t done well enough.

However, if he couldn’t get revenge directly, it’s fine, he could look for a chance to innocently get back at Zhao Xuran later.

"Then what should I do?" Gong Ruini was quite angry. Though aware they were acting, she was just unhappy.

Isn’t there a saying that girls have the right to be capricious? Well, then she would be capricious.

"What should you do?" Gong Ruzhi was essentially ranting; he really didn’t think his sister would sternly deal with Zhao Xuran.

Surprisingly, things were going so smoothly.

"Sis, don’t pay attention to Brother Xu Ran."

"And every day you go out, if Brother Xu Ran doesn’t properly apologize, you can’t forgive him."

"Yeah, you’ll feel better." Gong Ruini pinched her little brother’s nose. This little guy was only thinking about how to get back at Zhao Xuran, not realizing how someone might retaliate against him later.

Just look at their big brother, who was instigating all sorts of things before, but when it came time to act, he was nowhere to be found.

"I’m doing this for your good, sis."

"Sis, you’re my sister and his little sister; we have to back you up." Gong Ruzhi initially got all worked up.

But after Gong Ruini pinched his nose, he suddenly recalled something important: Brother Xu Ran isn’t easy to mess with, and just him making a fuss alone wouldn’t make him a match.

No, he had to drag big brother into this, so if problems arose, big brother would stand up and take the blame; after all, he was the big brother.

"Of course, that’s necessary." Their brother had improved, it seemed like he had been studying well recently, not as reckless as before, "But I think we shouldn’t be too petty."

"Although your brother-in-law said the wrong thing to your sister, with so many surrounding them, if he hadn’t spoken well for her, how would they talk about your sister?"

"They would surely speak worse, your brother-in-law did this for Ni Zi’s sake."

"Sometimes, even if you hear something yourself, you need to think it through a bit, to understand the reason."

Oh, how his brother’s tone changed confused Gong Ruzhi, clearly, his brother previously went along with him.

Why would his tone suddenly change; wait, Brother Xu Ran must be back.

Gong Ruzhi wasn’t foolish; without turning, he could tell, "Of course I know my brother-in-law does this for my sister, but thinking about my sister being wronged, my heart..."

Gong Ruini clutched her chest, her expression as pained as it could be.

Zhao Xuran wasn’t foolish; he could clearly see what Gong Ruzhi was up to before.

Now, daring to act in front of him, didn’t he realize where he was sipping tea when he acted?

Although he’s sticking up for Ni Zi, this kid needs some education, otherwise he might think he can soar high someday.
