Chapter 1578 - 1580

After Gong Ruzhi learned the morning’s events from Gong Ruini, he couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

"They actually know these tapes are going to be mailed back. They’re so unbelievably smart."

Gong Ruini nodded, "Yeah, and then, sigh."

Gong Ruzhi had a "my nephew is so clever" look, while Gong Ruini just hung her head, desperately wishing no one noticed.

So much regret, Gong Ruini was filled with various regrets at that moment. Why did she have to say it?

Saying it was one thing, but agreeing to let them watch the video together? Gong Ruini deeply felt that her brain must have been waterlogged.

"My sister definitely regrets it." Gong Ruzhi whispered in Wan Yihui’s ear.

"But it’s no surprise that as an adult, she got bullied by Pingping like this, seriously..." Gong Ruzhi didn’t even know what to say.

Or rather, he truly didn’t know how to express his feelings at that moment. Should he be impressed by Pingping’s prowess in accomplishing what he always wanted to do but couldn’t, or should he worry about being completely suppressed by Pingping in the future?

Wan Yihui was eagerly anticipating Pingping’s performance. As for the problem bothering Gong Ruzhi at the moment, he didn’t give it a thought.

Could it be that no matter how formidable Pingping becomes, he won’t respect his uncle?

No matter how amazing he becomes in the future, some things will be deeply embedded in Pingping’s brain and bones, and that is etiquette.

Gong Jiaxin brought in some food and drinks, making Gong Ruzhi so happy, he nearly shouted "Long live sister!" But really, he only swallowed those words because he saw the displeased look in Gong Ruini’s eyes.

Today, he had already provoked his sister enough; at this critical moment, he couldn’t bear the wrath that didn’t belong to him.

He picked up a glass of fruit juice, took a sip, and then grabbed a bag of chips to munch on.

My gosh, it felt like they were going to the movies, but they weren’t watching a movie!

Gong Ruini truly wanted to kick them all out. She had never seen such audacity.

Gong Ruzhi drained his drink, "Sis, you should adapt. Maybe there will be lots of such occasions in the future."

Oh, these words, "I just don’t want to fuss with them."

"Right, that’s because you have no choice but to not fuss. If it’s recorded and mom and dad find out how you treated Pingping and the others, you’ll be reeducated."

Endure it, she had to endure, Gong Ruini told herself countless times, truly had to endure it or she might really lose it and punch Gong Ruzhi in the face.

"Let’s see then." If they kept wasting time and didn’t watch, who knows how they’d end up making fools of themselves? Better to finish watching quickly and wrap it up.

They knew today’s shooting would be interesting, but didn’t expect it to be this interesting.

Gong Ruzhi was laughing so much he was nearly falling out of his seat, "Pingping really takes after his uncle, reminds me of the way my brother used to speak."

"This kind of poise..." Gong Ruzhi quickly attributed Pingping’s calm demeanor to Gong Ruwen’s influence.

Honestly, it wasn’t wrong. Gong Ruini hadn’t thought of it before, but after being reminded, she compared and indeed found it correct.

Although everyone was surprised by Pingping’s words of thanks, that wasn’t the theme they intended to watch today.

The theme they wanted to see was about to appear.

"Mom is an adult, why doesn’t she exercise?"

"Mom gets tired after running for a bit."

"Mom is bad, she doesn’t let me chat with grandpa."

"Dad sides with mom."

"No breakfast, just jogging." (Zhao Xuran, who was filming, felt anxious. It was just one time, was it necessary to mention it? He hurriedly explained.)

Pingping didn’t care how Zhao Xuran scrambled to redeem himself; he continued speaking at his own pace.

Gong Ruzhi watched in amusement, "Hahaha, Pingping is amazing."

It was truly rare to see his brother-in-law and sister being teased like this and yet having to endure it.

"Sis, I really regret this, I should’ve shown up. Watching a tape isn’t the same as being there."

Gong Ruzhi regretted it so much, and now he wouldn’t get the chance to sleep in; would losing one opportunity to sleep in be so bad?

Watching the currently amused Gong Ruzhi, Gong Ruini simply smiled, realizing that it was better to laugh now, because soon they might not be laughing.

Gong Jiaxin noticed Gong Ruini repeatedly glancing at Gong Ruzhi, and he grew suspicious.

This kid, Gong Ruzhi, was continually courting death, clearly offending Gong Ruini, yet why did Gong Ruini’s eyes glint with a hint of expectation when she looked at him?

Yes, expectation was the right word. Could there be something they didn’t know?

This heightened Gong Jiaxin’s anticipation, really raising her expectations.

"Uncle, Xiao Zhi uncle, he, he plays on the computer and doesn’t sleep."

"Uncle doesn’t play with Pingping, just fiddles with machines."

"Uncle promised to treat the kid to something nice but didn’t."

If Gong Ruzhi before laughed so arrogantly at Gong Ruini’s expense, now he was stunned, "How could this happen?"

"Oh gosh, I didn’t do anything to him, how come I got dragged in?" Gong Ruzhi felt all sorts of injustice; he was truly a good uncle.

How did he end up getting involved? Heaven knows the consequence once these tapes are mailed back. Gong Ruzhi immediately chickened out.

"Sis, I think there are too many contents on this tape; we should edit it."

"Sis, don’t worry, I’ll find someone, and I’ll definitely get this sorted. I’ll cover the costs." To prevent his parents from scolding him after finding out, Gong Ruzhi generously took the responsibility of covering the expenses.

Edit? What even is there to edit? Gong Ruini really didn’t have that thought. Once edited, the tape loses its purpose, right? Just send Pingping continuously saying thanks?

Please, that would be so fake. Once mailed back, they’d all notice something was amiss and demand the uncut version, making the blame heavier than before.

"Do you think it’s necessary to edit?" Gong Ruini was counting on Pingping exposing things about Gong Ruzhi to survive.

Cai Meina, realizing that all Gong Ruzhi did in the United States was tinker with computers, would likely keep a close eye on him.

Okay, if he were in his place, he’d resist too. To have someone else steer the conversation away, of course, he’d resist change.

What to do, Gong Ruzhi’s face scrunched up in distress, truly clueless on what to do.

"No worries, the sooner you face it, the sooner you’re free."

"Didn’t you just suggest that maybe it’s better to admit mistakes to mom and dad sooner?" Gong Ruini grinned as she sincerely referred to Gong Ruzhi’s earlier offhanded suggestion.

Admit mistakes to mom and dad? Oh gosh, spare him, the thought of calling back to inform them of the result terrified Gong Ruzhi.

The result was too perfect, so perfect it scared him to think about it.

"Forget it, we’ll talk when the tape reaches home." How did his nephew know? Gong Ruzhi really didn’t understand.

He clearly played with computers in his room, and even when sneaking to the kitchen for a midnight snack, he wouldn’t run into Pingping and the others.

It was truly strange, but more than anything, Gong Ruzhi wondered how to handle this mess. Above all, if possible, he really wanted to keep it from their parents.
