Back to the 70s: My Childhood Sweetheart Spoils Me Rotten-Chapter 502 Buying a House is Not Easy

Why does she have a frown on her face so early in the morning? Zhao Xuran looked at Zhao Guangran in confusion, wondering if his younger brother had somehow upset Gong Ruini.

Zhao Guangran shot his big brother an unhappy look, feeling pretty helpless as well.

"Bro, it has nothing to do with me. I was busy packing stuff from early morning." There were so many things to take out from the neatly sorted packages; it really wasn’t an easy task.

Indeed, with his brother busy packing so early, he really wouldn’t have had the time to bother Gong Ruini. So why does she have such a worried look?

Zhao Xuran looked at Gong Ruwen, wondering if this older brother might have some idea.

Even Gong Ruwen was clueless; how could he possibly know?

See, it’s clear this big brother is not reliable, Zhao Xuran shot a glance at Gong Ruwen.

Gong Ruwen felt wronged, thinking his sister was always someone with her own ideas. Whenever she made up her mind, she would just inform him, her big brother.

His sister encountered a problem this time, and he truly didn’t know. If he had to know, he should ask mom.

Clearly, yesterday Ni Zi seemed perfectly fine, not a hint of anything amiss. "Maybe the talk with mom didn’t go well." Gong Ruwen pondered that perhaps it was after his sister returned from mom that she seemed so off.

Ah, got into a disagreement with Aunt Cai? Zhao Xuran was quite surprised, as he had never seen Gong Ruini and her parents have any kind of argument, truly never witnessed them having a fallout.

"Don’t ask me, I really don’t know." Gong Ruwen stated he genuinely had no clue about this matter, "but it probably isn’t anything bad; otherwise, not only Ni Zi, but my mom would also have an unpleasant look."

After staring at Gong Ruwen for quite a while, Zhao Xuran could only resignedly say, "You, you, how are you being a big brother."

Listening to this criticism, Gong Ruwen felt very wronged. But what could he do? He couldn’t argue back; if it were Brother Xuran, he would definitely already know the situation.

"It has nothing to do with my brother; I just want to figure out how to make money." Gong Ruini figured Cai Meina approached her likely due to her usual good performance.

She always seemed smart, a skilled hand at making money, which now made Gong Ruini quite alert.

It’s not that she didn’t want to showcase her talents in front of her family, but being too impressive wasn’t always a good thing. What if she accidentally let this slip?

Gong Ruini didn’t want to become the focus of attention, so she quickly decided to talk about what was bothering her.

What? There’s some plan to make money? Zhao Guangran was genuinely puzzled, "Well, isn’t this your area, Ni Zi?"

"I think wanting to make money, Ni Zi is definitely the one to seek out." Zhao Guangran expressed admiration for Gong Ruini’s skills in making money.

See, look at that. Zhao Guangran seems to think of her this way. His straightforward words gave Gong Ruini a jolt. Fortunately, she was considering a backup plan; otherwise, over time, she couldn’t predict how grandiose a figure she’d become in Zhao Guangran’s words.

If she weren’t surrounded by the likes of Zhao Xuran, who’s quite a domineering CEO, and the two medical geniuses, Gong Ruini would have confidently accepted the title of the money-making whiz.

But with these big shots around, and a domineering CEO to boot, could she really have a say?

Don’t pay attention to her pushing Zhao Guangran around now, who’s to say who’ll bully whom in the future? She’s just a little nobody anyway.

Zhao Xuran and the others are big shots; they wouldn’t care much about this. Not Zhao Guangran though; he surely would, so she must erase thoughts like that from Zhao Guangran’s head.

"How could I think of so many money-making ideas."

This sounded so fake. Zhao Guangran curled his lips, truly not wishing to chat more with such a hypocritical person. Talking with her would only remind him of too many unpleasant things.

"I really don’t know." Why wouldn’t anyone believe her? This truly left Gong Ruini feeling quite hurt.

"If I really knew, would I need to ask you guys?" Gong Ruini said, feeling wronged.

Seeing Gong Ruini’s hurt expression and considering how showy she used to be, "Yeah, you wouldn’t be so silly; haven’t you always been eager to show off?"

Wow, that comment didn’t sound so pleasant. Gong Ruini pondered whether Zhao Guangran’s words were meant to mock or taunt her.

No, she can’t get angry; if she does, she’ll fall right into Zhao Guangran’s trap. This guy is quite cunning, who knows what he’s plotting; better to be cautious.

"I’m not showing off, I’m not showing off." Humph, not getting angry doesn’t mean she can’t act a little childish and pout.

Gong Ruini turned to Zhao Xuran to accuse, "Brother Xuran, look at Brother Guangran, he’s wronging me."

Wow, this isn’t what he imagined. Right, Zhao Guangran deliberately said so, thinking Gong Ruini might be hiding something. Maybe she’s waiting for them to come up with ideas and then jump out to mock him. Bottom line, he wouldn’t fall for it.

But Gong Ruini’s reaction this time made Zhao Guangran hesitate; could she really not know?

Wow, what to do if Gong Ruini can’t come up with money-making ideas in the future? This worried Zhao Guangran quite a bit.

"Ni Zi, you really don’t have money-making ideas?" Adults are adults; they probably would think of ways to make money. But they’re kids; making money is already tough, what to do if they can’t think of ways to earn?

Getting anxious now, huh? Humph, let him stew, "I really don’t have money-making ideas. Brother Guangran, do I have to lie to you?"

"Even if I were to lie to you, must I go against money?" Gong Ruini displayed sincerity.

Indeed, Gong Ruini might deceive him, but she wouldn’t go against money. Zhao Guangran knew how much Gong Ruini loved money, more than how his brother said he was obsessed with money; why not take a look at how Ni Zi pined for it.

If Gong Ruini used other excuses, Zhao Guangran might not believe her. But if it involved money, he believed without question.

Sigh, what to do now, "Will we really just keep selling quail eggs?" Continuing this business, when could he become a big boss? This left the ambitious Zhao Guangran quite disappointed.

"You can buy a house with money and collect rent; this suits us pretty well." Gong Ruini suggested without hesitation.

Indeed, buying a house is wise. Though collecting antiques can be quite profitable, it has a caveat—they must understand antiques. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Problem is, do any of them know about this field? Gong Ruini finds it dubious, so if they could obtain antiques for scrap prices, it’s worth trying, but paying hefty amounts for acquisition wouldn’t be as smart as buying property.

At least they could collect rent, and when property prices go up, they could sell and make huge profits.
