Back to the 70s: My Childhood Sweetheart Spoils Me Rotten-Chapter 898 - 900: Worry About Yourself

Zhao Guangran really doesn’t understand how to have a normal conversation; Cao Na actually stormed off in anger.

So when Gong Ruini and the others asked him why Cao Na left in such a huff, he was completely bewildered.

"It was just about discussing your trip to check the property."

What, just because of that? Dumbfounded, how could this make Cao Na leave so angrily; earlier she was all smiles, and this didn’t really involve Zhao Guangran.

Even if Zhao Guangran didn’t go, Cao Na, as the head of Zhao Guangran’s household, made the decision.

Zhao Xuran also didn’t believe it, definitely his little brother did something stupid, and now he’s trying to shirk responsibility.

Why don’t you believe him, Zhao Guangran was really about to cry, and he recounted the whole thing from start to finish thoroughly,

"Was it because I said Chu Ling and Brother Ruiwen aren’t suitable?" Otherwise, why would she get so worked up?

This guy isn’t usually eloquent and good at sweet-talking girls; how come sometimes his words are out of line?

Gong Ruini looked at Zhao Xuran, signaling for him to handle this matter.

"When you talked about Chu Ling, you were also talking about yourself. Although the Cao Family doesn’t have the status of the Chu Family, they’re still establishment people."

Huh, how did it get interpreted that way? Zhao Guangran really didn’t understand how Cao Na could think this, "I really don’t mind."

"I’m just worried about Brother Ruiwen." Zhao Guangran didn’t care if Cao Na really thought that way, but when he brought it up, he felt it was necessary to give a reminder or two.

Why worry about Brother? "My brother knows what to do, you just pretend you don’t know about this." Gong Ruini had asked Gong Ruwen about his thoughts, and he expressed no opinion.

Since one party involved doesn’t have this in mind, then they should completely act as if they know nothing, "Maybe in Chu Ling’s eyes, my brother is somewhat attractive to her."

Perhaps it’s the looks, that’s what Gong Ruwen said; he mentioned more than once noticing Chu Ling staring at his face endlessly.

Regarding this statement from their elder brother, Gong Ruini felt that maybe the elder brother was overthinking; although he’s good-looking, it’s not to the extent that Chu Ling would stare at him non-stop.

But Gong Ruini couldn’t outright say that the elder brother might be overthinking, so they could only agree with this opinion.

Value some aspect of Ruiwen, Zhao Guangran’s attention was focused on this point, "Think Brother Ruiwen is more refined?"

A military family is unlikely to have refined people, so Ruiwen is too enchanting for her?

"But Brother Ruiwen is quite knowledgeable, just a bit less than Big Brother." Giving a little compliment to Zhao Xuran.

"So, what does Brother Ruiwen think, if he really can be with Chu Ling?" Zhao Guangran still imagined it a bit.

This guy can’t quite figure out his own stance, Gong Ruini found it hard to grasp his opinion.

"Alright, whatever the case, that’s a matter for the future." Matters of the heart aren’t for others to meddle in, not even Gong Tao’s couple could.

"Think about how to appease Nana." Compared to others’ business, isn’t one’s own matters more important?

Appeasing Cao Na, of course, Zhao Guangran wanted to go immediately, but seeing the work on hand, he could only helplessly express that this matter would have to be postponed, unless someone was willing to take over.

Zhao Xuran ignored the pleading look from Zhao Guangran, going to placate his girlfriend; did he expect him to handle all these?

"I’m planning to acquire that piece of land, then fix it up nicely. Tell me your requirements."

"Then quickly get the blueprints out." Zhao Xuran was clear in his meaning, he wasn’t idle either. "Still need to contact the construction team, really busy and rushed."

Big Brother, if you don’t want to help, at least come up with a more reliable excuse, okay? Zhao Guangran really wanted to slap his brother in the face, so shameless.

"No one works in winter, at least wait until the snow melts." Wanting to hold back, but there’s no need to endure this; can’t let Big Brother think he’s a fool who doesn’t understand these things.

"Is that so?" Zhao Xuran didn’t show a hint of shame at being caught, "That blueprint needs to be drafted."

"I have to find materials for Ni Zi."

"This time the design is mainly Ni Zi’s."

Oh, it’s Ni Zi doing the design, Zhao Guangran felt slightly relieved, Ni Zi’s aesthetic is still okay; after all, being a painter, she has that ability.

The only place where Zhao Guangran had an opinion about Gong Ruini was, "I hope the courtyard won’t be filled with fruit trees."

"It’s just a place to stay occasionally, no need to plant fruit trees; we can set it up as beautiful little gardens, it would look nice if it’s rented out later." Zhao Guangran admitted that having fruit trees in the yard was convenient for eating.

But it really lowers the class, it’s not like we can’t afford to buy fruit, is there a need to scrimp like this?

"Why not plant fruit trees?" Gong Ruini was displeased.

"Exactly, if you’re so capable, don’t eat the fruit from the yard." Seeing his wife unhappy, Zhao Xuran’s tone also became disagreeable.

What did he do now? He was just making a small suggestion, how did his big brother get so angry?

"It’s not that I’m dissatisfied, but I feel that since we’re planning to rent it out for profit, we should look at it from the customer’s perspective."

"The fruit trees, we can plant them on the outer walkway." Zhao Guangran felt this was better.

Ah, wanting to utilize everything for profit? Was this kid not understanding what Zhao Xuran meant?

"We’re only renting part of it, our courtyard won’t be rented." Zhao Xuran reiterated.

"Leaving it empty is a waste?" Although he didn’t know how much the investment would cost, it definitely wasn’t a small amount, and Zhao Guangran expressed that as a poor person, he felt a lot of financial pressure.

"And do you think Dad and the others will be generous? They will definitely bargain, so we need to work harder to earn more."

"Leaving the house empty isn’t good either."

"At worst we bring our own bedding when we come over." Sigh, Big Brother really has a cleanliness issue, Zhao Guangran really didn’t know how Big Brother managed when he traveled between Northeast Beijing and last time to Yangcheng, sleeping on the train and staying in hotels.

Really, when you have money, your standards go up; Zhao Guangran expressed at least this time he couldn’t bear it, otherwise every time there’s a plan like this, Big Brother would think about getting at least a few courtyards for himself, then how would they make money.

"We aren’t at the point where we can be so wanton." Zhao Guangran was just shy of saying Big Brother you are being too indulgent.

This guy, Zhao Guangran’s words made Zhao Xuran quite dissatisfied, "I originally thought we could go soak in a hot spring as a family."

"That was when your previous investment wasn’t big." Hmph, trying to lecture him? Zhao Guangran wasn’t afraid, his reasoning wasn’t wrong.

"Brother, it’s not like there are only hot springs in Beijing. When we have money, we can build a hot spring just for us." Zhao Guangran was really exhausted.

Thinking about soothing his little brother was already tiring, not expecting Big Brother to be so willful wasn’t easy either.

In fact, Zhao Xuran wasn’t being capricious, he also admitted Zhao Guangran wasn’t wrong; the reason he hesitated was mainly because he had promised Gong Ruini before, suddenly changing his mind would be problematic.

And another important point was, "I got Chu Ling involved, promised her a courtyard."

Could it be his ears were failing him? Otherwise, how could he have heard Big Brother say Chu Ling would actually bring money, that guy just bought a siheyuan, does she still have money? 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

But seeing how Big Brother looked, it wasn’t like he was talking nonsense, what is this situation, my God, Zhao Guangran really couldn’t understand.
