Chapter 1406 - 1408

Gong Ruzhi looked at his serious-faced parents and Uncle Zhao, words that were already at his lips swallowed down.

Gong Ruzhi had actually been thinking all along that when his parents arrived, he would definitely complain, definitely tell how excessive Zhao Xuran had been.

But now with his parents looking so stern, Gong Ruzhi dared not speak.

Some things, once said, would really cause trouble.

Although in some matters, Brother Xu Ran may have acted a bit excessively, considering how well he took care of his sister, Gong Ruzhi decided it was better not to say anything.

More importantly, his parents probably already knew the situation, and since they knew, there was no need for him to complain.

"Mom, Dad, Uncle Zhao, Aunt Zhan."

"Brother, since everyone is here." This lineup was really quite impressive, Gong Ruzhi greeted them before quietly retreating to the back.

Gong Ruzhi had firmly decided not to speak unless absolutely necessary.

"Hmm." Gong Tao didn’t show a pleasant face to his younger son either.

This matter was because Gong Ruzhi didn’t do his homework properly; if he had paid more attention earlier, it wouldn’t have come to this.

No, his own mother wasn’t pulling him aside, asking endless questions, nor was she commenting that he looked thin.

More importantly, even his father didn’t show a good face; there was definitely something wrong here.

Gong Ruzhi knew something was amiss and was even more determined to remain silent; just saying hello could dissatisfy his father. What if he carelessly spoke and upset his father?

Zhao Gang watched Gong Tao frightening his son Gong Ruzhi and took several deep breaths.

Though it seemed like dissatisfaction with Gong Ruzhi, it was actually displeasure with Zhao Xuran.

By the way, where did Zhao Xuran go? He should be here to explain.

Zhao Gang realized he increasingly didn’t understand his son. At an occasion where he should be present, he wasn’t, and what was he doing?

Didn’t he see Gong Tao and his wife looking so displeased?

Zhao Gang wanted to speak but pondered for a long time and found no opportunity.

No, it’s not that there was no opportunity, there were chances, but every time he spoke, his friend either chuckled or sneered.

In such circumstances, Zhao Gang wondered how he could speak. If it weren’t for considering his daughter-in-law was present, Zhao Gang really wanted to challenge his old friend.

Luckily, there was Gong Ruzhi. Zhao Gang thought if this matter were resolved smoothly, he would have Zhao Xuran give Gong Ruzhi a big red envelope when they returned.

"Xiao Zhi, how have you been these days? Your sister is pregnant, you’ve done a lot, right?" Zhao Gang asked kindly.

Oh my, it’s not that Gong Ruzhi hadn’t seen Zhao Gang’s amiable smile before, but this time he really was terrified.

"I’m fine." Unable to avoid answering, Gong Ruzhi carefully replied.

Gong Ruzhi believed his answer had no issues, but why did he feel the temperature dropped a few degrees as soon as he spoke?

What was going on? Gong Ruzhi was confused, "It’s mainly Brother Xu Ran who takes good care of everything."

Could it be because he didn’t tell the truth and stole Brother Xu Ran’s credit? "My sister eats little every time now, but she eats frequently."

"Brother Xu Ran always prepares a lot of things, as long as it’s something she likes, he will buy it and then make it at home."

"There’s no need for my sister to do housework anymore, I handle the chores, Brother Xu Ran does the cooking."

Gong Ruzhi knew that Zhao Xuran could cook, as everyone in the family knew how to cook, especially those planning to go abroad, cooking was a must.

Gong Ruzhi really never knew Brother Xu Ran had such amazing skills, he was genuinely surprised.

Gong Ruzhi was really curious, how Zhao Xuran, who was always busy in China, could cook so well.

"Really?" This response was just right, Zhao Gang was delighted internally, though Zhao Xuran’s earlier actions were improper, he was surely making amends now?

Gong Ruzhi nodded, "Yes, today Brother Xu Ran can cook."

Gong Ruzhi had a mischievous plan in mind, he could avoid taking credit, telling the truth, but he still had some resentment.

If he didn’t vent, he would feel all sorts of uncomfortable, so given the situation, he wouldn’t attack mentally, but he would keep Xuran busy.

Let Zhao Xuran cook? Hmph, that kid was busy with all sorts of things in China, even knowing he was going abroad, considering he was with Ni Zi, it’s understandable there wasn’t any culinary crash course.

In everyone’s mind, Gong Ruzhi was only capable of cooking simple meals, they didn’t expect him to give such a big surprise.

Gong Ruwen was shocked, how was Zhao Xuran suddenly so good at cooking? No way, Zhao Xuran hadn’t cooked in years, how did he suddenly become adept?

Especially cooking well, should this news reach his wife Chu Ling, would he still have good days?

Gong Ruwen felt all sorts of discomfort, his wife had previously constantly said how well Zhao Xuran treated Gong Ruini. Although she didn’t say much more, the implication was clear: improve and learn from Zhao Xuran.

The previous matters weren’t resolved yet, but new tasks had already come down, Gong Ruwen really wanted to chase away this brother-in-law, never had he seen such a sister-in-law torturing the brother-in-law.

"Alright, let Xuran cook." Despite Gong Tao’s earlier rage, making Zhao Gang worry whether this friend would explode, he agreed right away.

What was going on? Zhao Gang was perplexed, clearly, he was angry before.

"By the way, Mei Na, Rui Wen, you two order what you like to eat."

"Since we need to care for Ni Zi, it’s crucial to see how his culinary skills are."

Gong Tao bluntly stated his thoughts, hmph, even if someone said he was bullying his son-in-law, so what?

His daughter hadn’t married yet, at this critical juncture, they must see how well the future son-in-law performs.

"Sure, I want sweet and sour ribs."

"I want braised pork belly."

The two Gong Brothers were eager to see how they might teach Zhao Xuran a lesson, there was no way they would miss the old man’s direction.

Zhao Gang watched the excited Gong father and sons, his body shrinking backward continuously, all he thought was whether his son would survive this turmoil.

Cai Meina watched the excited father and sons with a smile, quietly observing their antics from the side.

At this time, someone needed to remain calm on the sidelines, at the very least they couldn’t let it get too rowdy, if developments exceeded their expectations, they could quickly pull the situation back.

Even though Cai Meina didn’t join in, the fighting spirit of the three Gong men was strong, in no time they listed a long dinner menu.

Zhao Gang was wiping sweat continuously on the side, "Do you think our son will be okay?"

Having many sons was pointless now, Zhao Gang really regretted not bringing the twins along, although their fighting spirit was poor, at least they would have numbers on their side, not so easily suppressed.

Regarding her husband’s thoughts, Zhan Jing smiled warmly, some matters are best left with a cherished impression, there’s no need to escalate.
