Chapter 1416 - 1418

Gong Ruini, who already had an idea in her heart, naturally pretended to know nothing.

Understanding everything in her heart, Gong Ruini couldn’t describe how she felt watching Zhao Xuran busily working by himself.

"I feel like my expectations are getting higher." Unable to talk to Zhao Xuran, Gong Ruini could only talk to Gong Ruwen.

High expectations or not, Gong Ruwen didn’t want to know. He’s been really busy lately, and if all this busyness was for his own money, he’d be fine with it.

The problem is, he’s so busy and the money he earns isn’t even for him.

"Why have expectations? Didn’t you always say the higher the expectation, the greater the disappointment?" Gong Ruwen bluntly mocked her.

Ah, of course she had said that, "But it’s a proposal, I only have a few proposals in my life."

"If there were too many, just this one time wouldn’t matter much. Of course, I wouldn’t care." Gong Ruini was angry.

Her big brother is really too annoying, not putting her in his heart. Is there such a big brother?

"Ah, why are you angry?" Gong Ruwen took off his glasses, "I mean you shouldn’t think too much, just keep your expectations in check."

"Actually, I think there’s no need to make a proposal too grandiose."

"We’re talking about living a life. As long as both people have good feelings, what does it matter if the proposal ceremony is grand or not?"

Hehehe, Gong Ruini was speechless, "Brother, weren’t you the one always saying getting married without a proposal wasn’t right."

"Brother, I find you’re really being a bit unreasonable." Gong Ruini bluntly commented.

Unreasonable? He’s being unreasonable? Gong Ruwen, looking at his sister with a face saying ’you’re being unreasonable’, helplessly patted her head, "I’ve never seen a sister like you."

"Your situation is special. If I don’t strive, you’ll lose out."

"Yeah." Gong Ruini admitted, fully acknowledging that Gong Ruwen was looking out for her.

"So I’ve thought it over. When my sister-in-law graduates from college, I’ll talk to her." Gong Ruini stated her intent; her sister-in-law couldn’t be missing out on this.

Otherwise, how would her sister-in-law feel knowing later? This is a balance that must be maintained.

Aaaah, after saying so much, didn’t he just want his sister to spare him and not tell Chu Ling?

"Ni Zi." Gong Ruwen looked pitifully at Gong Ruini, hoping she would let him off the hook.

To this, Gong Ruini said, "Brother, it’s not that I don’t want to help you, but do you think by the time it happens my sister-in-law won’t know?"

Gong Ruini unceremoniously pointed out that her brother was being naive, "Isn’t there still a younger brother?"

"And if that doesn’t work, there’s Guang Ran."

Those two keep their mouths tight outside, but at home, their words aren’t even worth a penny.

Especially at such lively occasions, do you think they wouldn’t talk?

Of course, they would have to say it, and more importantly, "With Guang Ran’s character, if he proposes, he’ll surely make it grand."

"He won’t be afraid when his wife hears about it and becomes unhappy."

More importantly, "Is that guy lacking money?"

"Isn’t he always taking every festival too seriously?"

"Even festivals that nobody knows about, he insists on making a grand spectacle. You’re saying the engagement shouldn’t be celebrated for three days and nights?"

Gong Ruwen really had no way to compete with such a lavish spender, or rather, even if he had the capability, he didn’t want to waste money like that.

"You say with that money, couldn’t you buy a house or something?" Gong Ruwen stated it’s not that he’s stingy with money, he just doesn’t see the need for such a grand gesture.

Buy a house, that’s a saying. Gong Ruini admitted the thought was nice, quite practical, but the crucial point is.

"Brother, doing so will make my sister-in-law unhappy."

"Trust me, no matter how much you think it’s wasteful or pretentious, in a woman’s heart, it’s different."

"Just like how you think a few bags are interchangeable, no need to buy so many, but women simply love buying more bags."

Gong Ruwen was silent, honestly he still couldn’t understand what was so appealing about the bags his sister bought for his wife, or how they all looked pretty much the same, is it worth spending so much money?

"Like clothes, you think they’re too many, right?"

Gong Ruwen said nothing. He really thought his wife had a lot of clothes, but every time Chu Ling went shopping, she’d keep buying clothes. He simply couldn’t understand, with so many at home, why keep buying more?

"But in a woman’s eyes, the wardrobe is always missing just one piece." Gong Ruini said a wise saying.

Still missing a piece? Gong Ruwen really heard this saying for the first time, he was genuinely stunned.

Judging by the way Chu Ling and Gong Ruini buy clothes, is it really the posture of needing just one piece? "It seems you need an entire mall’s worth of clothes."

"Some of them haven’t even been worn yet." Only in front of Gong Ruini could he say this, in front of Chu Ling, he’d never dare to voice such criticism.

Luckily, his big brother never said these strange things in front of Chu Ling, otherwise, he really feared she’d kick him away, "Because there’s always a new style coming out."

"Because women always feel that the ideal piece of clothing hasn’t appeared yet."

"Brother, you should think, why our clothing factory has such good business, isn’t it because of women like us creating revenue for you?"

Facing Gong Ruini’s disdainful look, Gong Ruwen understood, the things he said before were really foolish. Although he still couldn’t comprehend, he decided not to speak anymore, using the time to complain to Zhao Xuran instead.

Gong Ruwen thought Zhao Xuran would probably share the same thoughts.

"So, brother, set up a nice proposal, it doesn’t have to be too grand, with a violinist playing on the side and a room full of roses. I think such a proposal can’t possibly fail." Gong Ruini straightforwardly proposed the suggestion they’d discussed earlier.

Last time, those people weren’t discussing it very fervently, so Gong Ruini unceremoniously tossed the ball back to Gong Ruwen’s court.

What, actually proposing like that? Gong Ruwen said his heart was about to jump out, such a proposal ceremony is really not just any grandeur.

"Chu Ling won’t like it." Chu Ling, like Old Sir Chu, might not be overly frugal, but surely not one for such a big setup.

Chu Ling wouldn’t like it? How do you know she wouldn’t unless you try?

"I’ll tell my sister-in-law." Gong Ruini took charge, directly calling Chu Ling.

Ah, didn’t he just say Chu Ling wouldn’t like it? Why couldn’t his sister respond like other people’s siblings and just say the sister-in-law wouldn’t like it?

"We’re good sisters, such a good thing, of course, I have to let my sister-in-law know."

"As for you saying it’s wasteful, you can come to the United States to propose. Really, everything is available here."

"As long as you have money, the flowers, violinists, and even the restaurants you want to book, they’re really no problem." Gong Ruini harshly comforted Gong Ruwen.

Well, in the United States you can easily manage these things, but Gong Ruini never thought about how much it might cost to achieve these goals in the United States?
