Chapter 1113 - 1115: A Prophetic Mouth
Cao Na’s face was a mix of anger and a gossipy expression.
"Ni Zi, you have no idea about the commotion at your doorstep."
Oh, if there wasn’t a commotion, that would be a problem. It seems Zhao Gang has given up trying to cover things up this time; he’s creating a scene right outside the door.
"You wouldn’t believe it, even the most rigid people here are standing at the door watching the spectacle."
If it weren’t for discussing something important with Gong Ruini, Cao Na would have stayed at the door watching the show.
While excitement is often seen, a spectacle involving Zhao Gang is indeed rare.
"By the way, how is it that they’re saying it’s Uncle Zhao’s brother and sister?" Cao Na recalled never hearing Zhao Guangran mention that his dad had a younger brother and sister.
How could someone with such a status come knocking, and from the look of Zhao Gang, they don’t seem to be bluffing.
"Uncle Zhao’s dad joined the revolution early and then after moving to the city, he kicked Uncle Zhao’s mom out and found himself a new wife." Gong Ruini honestly wasn’t trying to leak such personal matters about Zhao Gang.
But with today’s argument, the news would spread around by tomorrow.
Ah, no way, Cao Na was stunned. Of course, she knew this bit of history; some of her grandfather’s old comrades did the same.
"And he didn’t care for Uncle Zhao either?"
"No, when Uncle Zhao’s mom passed away, he went to his dad, but was chased out. It seems Uncle Zhao wasn’t very old then."
Cao Na is someone whose social circle isn’t very wide. Thanks to some childhood friends, she can sometimes get news or spread information quite quickly.
Cao Na let out an "oh" sound, seeing that Gong Ruini didn’t seem to know much either, so she didn’t press further.
Besides, Cao Na knew she no longer had the right to meddle in the Zhao family affairs, so it was better to stick to discussing business.
"I talked it over with my sister; I’m pulling out my investment. She’ll give me an extra ten percent as my interest," Cao Na was really furious.
Especially when remembering Cao Li’s attitude, Cao Na felt like charging at her and landing a few punches.
"That’s pretty generous." This was already quite good; Gong Ruini initially thought Cao Na would end up losing both money and herself.
One moment of carelessness, and she’d get trapped by Cao Li. Though Cao Li was quite generous this time, how much did Cao Na endure in between?
"No worries, we’re also getting started with a vocational school," Gong Ruini signaled to the anxious and upset Cao Na, telling her they had another project launching soon.
Once the school was up and running, Cao Na would absolutely be in charge.
"In charge?"
"Me?" Cao Na was genuinely startled. Although she had set up a tutoring school and developed it quite well,
unfortunately, there were too many tasks, making it impossible for her to constantly oversee the English tutoring classes, so she had to hire a professional principal to manage them.
Why was it that here, Gong Ruini seemed to value her so highly? No, it felt more like exploitation.
Cao Na was about to cry. "I really don’t have the time."
Even though she graduated from college, dealing with so many matters, she finds herself constantly preoccupied.
"By the way, do you know what my sister said about me?" Today, Cao Na was truly infuriated by Cao Li.
No matter the time, she just knew she had to find Gong Ruini.
Definitely nothing good, Gong Ruini looked at Cao Na expectantly.
"She said I’m too capable and intimidating to men, saying I’ll never get married."
"She said even if I do get married, it’ll only be because the person is interested in my money." If it weren’t for her grandfather and others holding her back, Cao Na truly felt like kicking Cao Li away.
"Is she even my sister?" Even knowing she and Zhao Guangran couldn’t start anew, Cao Na still wished for a man to wait for her ahead.
Someone who would be tolerant of her, who would give her a sense of security, provided, of course, he was also capable.
Does she think she’s excessive? Is it too much?
Clearly, Ni Zi is even more assertive and strong, running so many successful businesses, yet she still has Zhao Xuran, doesn’t she?
It’s like yelling at someone, like flipping the middle finger; she’s never seen someone so lacking in class.
"Don’t pay attention to her. She’s just jealous of you."
"Your sister, ah, no wonder she’s in that line of work." Previously, when asked to help set up the school, she showered in flattery.
Anyway, Gong Ruini couldn’t imagine how those sweet, nauseating, shamelessly flattering words came out of Cao Li’s mouth.
"Your sister’s ability to turn on people is amazingly fast," Gong Ruini candidly said, "We should have recorded what she said then."
"And compared it with today’s words."
"Does she think she’s going to be successful in the future?"
"Isn’t she worried about being swallowed up and left with nothing?"
All this for a bit of power, completely disregarding everything.
"Of course she’ll make it big, I did market research," Cao Na replied bitterly.
"You were right, she really got involved with the Feng Family, pointing fingers all around."
"What did I tell you then?" Gong Ruini was full of "if only," feeling like her past teachings were in vain.
Luckily, Zhao Xuran had highlighted this to her. If he knew, who knows how he’d mock how foolish this person is.
Therefore, Gong Ruini had to advertise herself, "I’m quite a good partner."
"As long as we can make money, as long as the reputation stands, we won’t interfere."
"Partners like us aren’t common."
Yes, though it sounds boastful, Caona agrees. The foreign language school where Gong Ruini invested greatly saw her not even showing up or managing in the interim.
Cao Na couldn’t help but smile bitterly, "Just because I worked with you guys for a long time, I thought this was the norm."
"Before, the Feng family didn’t jump out, and my brother-in-law kept saying he’d trouble me."
"It boiled down to them relying on me. Once the preparatory work was ready and the school was about to open, his attitude changed."
"He kept nagging my parents, saying that he’d been in Beijing for so many years, working hard but still not advancing."
"Now there’s a good opportunity, and he didn’t want to miss it, hoping the Feng family would help him."
Thinking of what Dai Yaning inadvertently let slip, it nearly drove Caona crazy.
"I’m the younger one, so I naturally have to concede to them?"
"Isn’t it because you’re well-off and your family is big, well-connected?" Gong Ruini said faintly.
"Moreover, if you really don’t marry, your sister’s family would be delighted. That way, your assets would go to her son," Gong Ruini said unintentionally.
To know previously, Caona really doted on her nephew. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have bought him a house early on. Which kind of aunt would be so wealthy?
Especially one who wasn’t particularly rich.
Gong Ruini truly said it unintentionally, but seeing Caona’s face abruptly change, she knew something was off.
Had she guessed right again?
Was her mouth this prophetic? Gong Ruini was in disbelief.
Wait, like when Zhao Xuran initially mentioned his so-called uncle and aunt, she casually remarked if they might show up.
Zhao Xuran had said it was impossible, those people wouldn’t come, but now the supposedly impossible ones were at their doorstep, arguing with Zhao Guangran.
Oh god, when did her words become like iron? Gong Ruini was stunned.
No way, she needed a moment to reflect, this mistake happened twice, and she couldn’t let it happen again.
