Chapter 1163: Chapter 1165
Well, Gong Ruini calculated the time and called home, undoubtedly to notify Zhao Xuran, who was constantly by the phone.
She recounted the happenings on the journey, and of course, her silly mistake of trying to be a good person only to be complained about, which unsurprisingly caused Zhao Xuran to burst into laughter.
Forget it, she had to endure it. If she didn’t tell, the little traitors at home might sell her out at any time, and more importantly, no one knew how they would talk.
"I got it, I’ll look into the situation."
Even though Zhao Xuran had laughed at Gong Ruini earlier, his wife was just that adorable, "Even among compatriots, you have to be cautious."
Zhao Xuran seriously instructed, "We’re both self-financed to study abroad, which many people ultimately take offense to."
Listening to Zhao Xuran’s continuous guidance over the phone, Gong Ruini could do nothing but attentively listen in earnest.
Gong Ruini thought her shortcomings might indeed be related to her lack of travel; if she met more people, she’d know how to handle some things.
Although he couldn’t see his wife’s expression across the phone line, he just knew she must be quite upset.
"Don’t get angry over those strangers. After all, you did what you should have." Zhao Xuran wasn’t impressed with these people at all.
"The travel handbook clearly states what you can or cannot bring. Why didn’t they follow it?"
"They are also international students. Even if their English isn’t perfect, they should at least communicate simply."
Just thinking about it made Zhao Xuran indignant. Although all their documents were in order and they didn’t need to fear U.S. Customs, wasn’t his wife afraid of those intimidating foreigners?
"Ni Zi, I regret it. I should have gone with you." If he were there, no matter how many thoughts those people had, they wouldn’t be so arrogant.
She regretted it too. Gong Ruini was indeed regretful; she should have brought her man along. Although Cai Meina flying to the United States alone was a bit scary, she could have come with Cai Ming.
But regretting it was useless now. With a bunch of things at home waiting for him to handle, could he just whimsically leave everything and fly to the United States?
After hanging up the phone, Gong Ruini gently wiped the corner of her eye. She always thought she was an independent woman of the new era, but unexpectedly, as soon as she left Zhao Xuran, she immediately started missing him.
Gong Ruini quickly wiped away her tears, not wanting Zhao Guangran to see. Besides not wanting to hear his mocking words, she didn’t want this brat to inform everyone back home that she cried.
She was now an adult, leading Gong Jiaming and the others to the United States; she was undoubtedly an adult.
Huh, something’s wrong, weren’t those two leisurely drinking coffee and chatting by the floor-to-ceiling window just now? Why can’t they be seen in the blink of an eye?
Did they have a disagreement, and Zhao Guangran wants to send Dai Liren away?
Zhao Guangran, that proud fellow, might really do such a thing. Of course, it’s also possible that Dai Liren, conceding to a real estate evaluation, left on his own.
Huh, something’s wrong, his luggage is still in the living room, so he hasn’t left. Where did he go?
After searching the garden, they couldn’t be found. Where did they go?
Gong Ruini was curious. It’s impossible that, without notice, two grown men simply disappeared. What’s going on here?
"Sis, I’m hungry." Gong Ruzhi couldn’t hold it any longer, "The food on the plane was terrible."
Finally off the plane, his sister clearly promised him delicious food before the flight, but how come there’s no delicious food till now?
Wan Yihui also looked at him pitifully, with a tired face, "Sister, I’m hungry and sleepy."
They’re both hungry and sleepy? Doesn’t she get hungry and sleepy too? Resting in such a big place was indeed uncomfortable, let alone later being wedged in the middle, letting them both sleep leaning against her.
The entire journey wasn’t restful, and the food wasn’t worth commenting on.
Gong Ruini wanted to shout, now that they’re here, how come she still has to cook?
But looking at their exhausted faces, well, she’d better go cook obediently.
Just as she was about to call for help from Gong Jiaxin, she found out she was also missing. What’s going on?
Gong Ruini was really puzzled. Are they all just bullying her, the honest one?
If she could, she really wanted to go on strike right away.
"Where is your sister?" She grabbed Gong Jiaming, looking displeased.
Gong Jiaming was just as dumbfounded; how would he know all this?
Wan Qiweng, with her big belly, slowly walked to Gong Ruini’s side, "Jiaxin went to work. You know she’s very busy this summer."
Ah, she went to work? She’s only going to be a sophomore in September, how come she’s so busy, could she be working part-time?
"She got an internship through a professor’s connections at a brand design company." They didn’t care about how much salary foreigners could pay, what mattered was whether Gong Jiaxin could learn things.
Already collaborating with some brands? Gong Ruini previously worried whether the usually introverted Gong Jiaxin could break through.
Gong Ruini wanted to transform Gong Jiaxin, but looking at the time, it was absolutely not enough, so she had to give up reluctantly.
Unexpectedly, she was doing quite well, "Is she learning something or just serving tea and water?"
This way, she’ll know how to talk to Gong Jiaxin. Don’t think that just because foreigners hire interns, they really intend to teach them something; maybe it’s just to run errands for cheap.
"At this company, she can indeed learn things, although it’s not a big brand."
If she can learn something, that’s good. Gong Ruini felt reassured, "Big brands wouldn’t be our turn anyway."
Even though Gong Xiaojing attended a renowned design college, with many so-called senior sisters and brothers in the fashion circle, how much could they really help?
With just that bit of resources, if possible, they certainly wouldn’t want any so-called newcomers to stand out.
If they really wanted to support newcomers, they wouldn’t give chances to an Asian person.
"Luckily, our demand of Jiaxin is just to learn more; in the future, we could design our own brand clothes when returning home." If it’s gold, it won’t worry about not shining.
As they talked, Gong Ruini kept moving in the kitchen. Although the kitchen used to be western-style, after Wan Qiweng moved in, Zhao Guangran had it refurbished, especially the kitchen.
If not, Gong Ruini would really worry that the oil vapor from stir-frying might lead a concerned neighbor passing by to mistakenly call the fire department reporting a fire.
"This kitchen isn’t good enough." Although having such a Chinese-style kitchen abroad is nice, it’s nowhere near as good as the one in Beijing.
"It doesn’t let me show even a bit." Gong Ruini was being as boastful as she could be.
Zhao Guangran and the others were in the study discussing matters. They were having quite an intense discussion when suddenly the delicious aroma of dishes wafted in, making it impossible for them to sit still.
They came out intending to ask if they could eat but unexpectedly heard Gong Ruini bragging like this.
Dai Liren was more restrained, turning his head so Gong Ruini wouldn’t see him laugh, but from the constant shaking of his shoulders, anyone could tell how joyfully he was laughing.
Zhao Guangran was different; he grinned as much as he could, as proudly as he could.
Even though he didn’t say a word, his exuberant expression was enough for Gong Ruini to understand his feelings.
