Back to the 70s: My Childhood Sweetheart Spoils Me Rotten-Chapter 897 - 899: Always So Quick to Speak

Zhao Guangran was in a terrible mood; dealing with so many things on a great weekend was already frustrating enough.

What made him even more depressed was that the girlfriend who usually visits him on weekends didn’t show up. "Where did Nana go?"

From time to time, Zhao Guangran would look towards the courtyard gate, hoping that when he looked up again, he would see the figure that tugged at his heartstrings.

But no matter how he looked, he never saw the person he was waiting for.

Finally, before the sun set, Zhao Guangran saw his girlfriend’s figure.

As Zhao Xuran was about to embrace Cao Na and share his grievances, he was taken aback by his girlfriend’s words.

’What, you guys went to look at land today?’

"My brother is actually planning to build a house on the mountain?" Zhao Guangran couldn’t understand why his brother would choose such a faraway place to build a house.

"Is the land price cheap?" The only reason Zhao Guangran could think of to attract his brother was this.

But the key issue was, "It’s a bit too remote; even if there are hot springs, it’s really too far from the city."

Zhao Guangran didn’t want to travel so far just for a hot spring, it felt unreasonable in every way.

"If it were close, would it be our turn?" Cao Na didn’t understand why Zhao Guangran had so many complaints and dissatisfaction.

"I think it’s nice, and Ni Zi said that the courtyard would be designed by me later." Cao Na’s point was she was just informing him, whether he cared or not really didn’t matter.

"I’ve decided to plant cherry trees in our yard..." Cao Na, having tidied a few houses, may not be an expert, but she certainly had her own ideas about garden arrangement.

"Alright." Zhao Guangran, watching his excitedly imagining girlfriend planning the yard, understood that for this very reason, his wife would undoubtedly listen to whatever his brother’s family said.

Cao Na was excitedly sharing her ideas, but that didn’t mean she wasn’t paying attention to Zhao Guangran.

"Are you mad?" Although her boyfriend’s face didn’t show it, he should indeed be unhappy.

"I’m not mad." Zhao Guangran contradicted his feelings but then thought, why bother hiding it? His girlfriend wasn’t someone he could easily deceive.

"I’m just upset that even Chu Ling can go, but I can’t."

"I am his own brother, after all." Reflecting on it infuriated Zhao Guangran in every way. If it weren’t for Chu Ling, he wouldn’t be upset about not going.

But why is it that even an outsider like Chu Ling was included, while he wasn’t?

Hmph, ever since my brother got a sister-in-law, he’s been treating me like dirt.

"Yes, but you’re already a person with a girlfriend, you can’t just go solo." Remembering how Gong Ruini had repeatedly reminded her on their way back, she couldn’t help but admire Gong Rui for saying that sometimes an older brother can be petty, and indeed, he was petty here.

The way it sounded was as if Gong Ruwen was alone and didn’t want to introduce them kindly, Zhao Guangran snorted a few times in displeasure.

Wait, earlier Nana said Chu Ling also went, and she’s single too, my gosh.

Zhao Guangran inhaled sharply, "Could it be Rui Wen and Chu Ling?"

Oh my, Zhao Guangran really couldn’t imagine Brother Ruiwen being with Chu Ling, how bizarre it could get.

"No way, I know Chu Ling often visits Brother Ruiwen recently, but she wouldn’t ignore the Chu Family, right?" The Cao Family didn’t have the status of the Chu Family, and some people already found him with Cao Na a bit off-putting.

If Gong Ruwen and Chu Ling were together, Zhao Guangran really couldn’t imagine what people would say about Gong Ruwen unless he stays out of that circle and ignores them.

The key issue is that Gong Ruwen wants to enter that circle, really hard to imagine.

"Do you think my brother and Ni Zi’s attitude is non-intervention?"

"Or maybe they don’t know." Zhao Guangran was anxious, how did he miss such an outing, and this had already happened.

Zhao Guangran wanted to say that without him, things could easily go wrong.

"They should know, right." After spotting some clues, Cao Na particularly took note of Gong Ruini and Zhao Xuran’s reactions.

Ah, they know? Zhao Guangran became even more frustrated, why didn’t they tell him about such an important matter, really not treating him like a brother.

"Why so excited." Cao Na didn’t understand why Zhao Guangran was so worked up, "I see Ni Zi and the others are waiting for the situation to develop, maybe even Uncle Gong and the others don’t know."

Initially, Cao Na also thought like Zhao Guangran, feeling a bit left out, wondering if they were worried they’d exploit the situation once they knew.

Then she thought they might also not know how to handle it, "I think Brother Ruiwen doesn’t have that idea, and Chu Ling hasn’t explicitly mentioned it either, how would you expect Ni Zi and them to react?"

"What if you slip and tell this out." Cao Na was also a bit worried about her own man kind of having a loose tongue.

Why did it seem like he was just a big mouth, "I’m just talking about it at home."

He never spoke about family matters outside, and even if he did, it was only about things that could be known to the outside world.

"Before some things reach a conclusion, we shouldn’t speak out." See, hasn’t realized the mistake, really so anxious in every way.

"Originally, no one had this expectation, but once you mentioned it, Uncle and Aunt might think they could use the Chu Family as a safety net." Cao Na seriously analyzed this with Zhao Guangran.

Zhao Guangran didn’t like hearing this, "Do we really need to find a safety net?"

"We are capable people."

"Besides, who knows when they might fall, look at those gloriously thriving families back then, still fell to the Wei Family."

"Especially those businessmen looking for a strong backing, didn’t they get dragged down too."

Even if they once had this notion, seeing such a harsh reality, they definitely wouldn’t entertain that idea.

Cao Na wasn’t very happy, wondering if Zhao Guangran thought her family could drag him down, though it may have been said unintentionally, it did imply he had such thoughts, otherwise, why would he say it out loud?

Fuming, Cao Na stormed out, scaring off Gong Ruini and Zhao Xuran, who came intending to see if Zhao Guangran had calmed Cao Na down.

"Nana." How could she look so angry, what happened, could it be that brat Zhao Guangran angered Cao Na?

"Maybe Guangran’s temper is a bit much, you know how he is." Gong Ruini immediately cast Zhao Guangran as the one at fault when she arrived.

"As if he would dare offend me." Cao Na retorted angrily, "I’ll just head back now."

No way, was Cao Na really this angry? Gong Ruini was truly stunned, what on earth happened?

Right now, Gong Ruini could hardly care about asking why she was angry, she couldn’t let Cao Na leave, or the matter would only get worse.

But an angry woman was not someone Gong Ruini could easily soothe.

Especially seeing Zhao Xuran’s gaze towards Gong Ruini, it was truly irksome.

No way, if she didn’t leave now, Cao Na was genuinely worried she wouldn’t be able to hold back her grievances against Gong Ruini.
