Chapter 215: Chapter 215

The various hypocritical faces of Gong Qiang, the more Gong Zheng looked, the more furious he became.

In the past, Gong Zheng would definitely have exploded, at least make this straw-for-brains big brother learn a lesson.

Wu Rui was also furious with Gong Qiang in various ways, but now wasn’t the time to get angry, they needed to move in, "I’m tired."

Gong Zheng was actually momentarily consumed by anger, but he wasn’t stupid, he had no firm ground to stand on now; it’s still better to pretend to be obedient.

Otherwise, should big brother throw a crying fit, what if his parents start showing favoritism, Gong Zheng no longer had the qualifications to be proud.

Moreover, as long as he’s at home, eating his parents’ food all the time, could big brother hold back?

Mom might perhaps be nice to Gong Qiang on account of Gong Xiaoyu, but would dad be? Thɪs chapter is updated by novᴇlfire.net

Dad does keep a mental tally of things, and Gong Zheng wasn’t oblivious to how to turn the tables; he simply hadn’t thought about it before, but now he had to consider it.

Though the road ahead might be tricky, as the father-in-law said, if he stayed here, could he ever get ahead?

Did he really think that this matter was just understood like that?

As long as the opponent remains in power, as long as they’re on top, they can strike at any time.

Gong Zheng couldn’t deal with people like that, but he could avoid them. He could bide his time to one day take revenge.

Of course, he wouldn’t spare those so-called family members who stabbed him in the back at a critical moment.

For instance, Gong Qiang, Gong Tao—if it weren’t for them, would he be in such dire straits?

Gong Qiang had no idea what Gong Zheng was calculating in his mind and felt quite pleased seeing Gong Zheng admit defeat, "Behave yourself in the future."

"Before, you were flaunting around the house with a father-in-law as a boss, but now you don’t have any backing."

"People have such limited blessings, when you always laughed at others, why didn’t you think if you’d always have a smooth sail yourself?" Of course Gong Qiang harbored resentment.

When his position wasn’t solid back then, didn’t Gong Zheng mock him behind his back?

"I’m the only one who got unlucky, unlike some people who even dragged their father-in-law into it, pitiful."

Gong Qiang kept clicking his tongue and threw a casual glance at Wu Rui; he looked down on this sister-in-law for all sorts of reasons. Wasn’t it just having an official as a father, she always had that superior attitude.

She wouldn’t do any chores and always acted as if being a pregnant woman justified that. Did she ever think of how many women didn’t get pregnant? "Even if you’re pregnant, you should still do the chores, don’t think you can slack off."

While Wu Rui did do household chores, because her mom had a light workload and usually handled the chores, coupled with her not being diligent, once she got married into the Gong Family, first, it was Cai Meina doing the work. Even after Cai Meina left, because Wu Rui was pregnant and her father’s influence, chores were out of the question for her.

When Wu Rui returned, she didn’t think she might be bullied; she expected to receive some intimidation from Zhang Lan but not from anyone while her husband was around. Unexpectedly, not only had the mother-in-law not shown up, but the brother-in-law was the first to jump out.

"Big brother, shouldn’t you mind your own business on this issue?" Gong Zheng’s face looked unpleasant; even though his own mom hadn’t spoken these words, did it mean his mom had no such intentions with his big brother talking like that?

Gong Zheng was well aware that regarding his marriage, his mom had an opinion of Wu Rui because the in-laws were a bit domineering then, but this was no reason to pull such a stunt when the Wu Family was down.

No way; Gong Zheng expressed he needed to talk to Zhang Lan; if certain things couldn’t be sorted out before leaving, he couldn’t leave with peace of mind.

Gong Zheng gave a reassuring look to Wu Rui, indicating that he would straighten things out.

In regard to her own man, what else could Wu Rui do but worry? Moreover, since he had to work under her father, from any perspective, Gong Zheng couldn’t possibly abandon her.

Wu Rui grabbed her luggage and turned to go back to the room to pack, completely ignoring Gong Qiang.

Initially, Gong Qiang vented a bit, even though he was annoyed, he knew he couldn’t mess with Wu Rui while she was pregnant. Should anything happen, let alone the Wu Family make a fuss, his own father wouldn’t let him off.

But Wu Rui’s expression of disregard really set Gong Qiang off. Hmph, there will eventually be a chance to deal with her; did she really think giving birth would go smoothly?

Gong Zheng was occupied talking business with Zhang Lan, not noticing Gong Qiang’s angry look; even if he did see, he wouldn’t care.

Ever since Gong Qiang was assigned to gatekeeping, his expression towards anyone was unfriendly. How could he take to heart a man as useless as mud?

Zhang Lan was indeed happy to see Gong Zheng’s return, even though currently, the family’s reputation and their sons’ futures were in all sorts of lows, but as long as the family was together, Zhang Lan was still quite happy.

From Zhang Lan’s point of view, as long as the brothers united, they’d surely overcome the slump. Actually, she had already discussed with Gong Dajiang, at worst they’d pay for Gong Tao to buy ginseng and then pull strings.

Zhang Lan didn’t believe they couldn’t find a chance to reinstate her two sons, but before she could even bring up this plan with Gong Zheng, she was infuriated by Gong Zheng’s remark.

"What? What did you say, that I shouldn’t let Wu Rui do any chores?" Zhang Lan prided herself on not being a bad mother-in-law, but regarding Wu Rui, she considered herself far from being mean. Still, how did her son end up suggesting she shouldn’t let Wu Rui do chores?

The reason was Wu Rui’s pregnancy? "Whose daughter-in-law doesn’t do chores when pregnant?"

"All your three sisters-in-law do chores, don’t they? Should the daughter-in-law not do chores and make the mother-in-law do all the work?"

"Mom, why are you getting so worked up?" If he previously thought his mom hadn’t yet been incited by his big brother, now he could be pretty sure that she was already determined to make his wife do chores.

"Don’t you remember second sister-in-law’s situation when she gave birth to Ni Zi? If she hadn’t had insufficient food and overworked, would Ni Zi’s health be so poor?"

"Isn’t having one like Ni Zi in the family enough? Do you intend for my child to end up the same way?"

"Mom, how can you be so ruthless? Is it just that in your eyes, only my big brother’s children are your grandchildren, and none of the others are?"

"Mom, I won’t let you bully Wu Rui." Hmph, Gong Zheng thought the more he thought about it, the angrier he got. He wouldn’t let Wu Rui get bullied; as long as his wife endured a bit longer, once he settled the situation over there, he’d bring her over.

"You have harmed my second brother and them enough, yet you’re still planning to harm me seeing I’m down?"

"Why don’t you think about why I’m ?"

"It’s all because of your favoritism, from childhood to adulthood, all good things went to big brother; I just don’t understand why all the good things went to big brother."

"Even if he’s as useless as mud, you still had to protect him."

"It’s all because of your favoritism."

"If it weren’t for the favoritism, big brother couldn’t have dragged second brother down, would second brother turn out otherwise?"

If second brother was still in his position, the family wouldn’t be ; Gong Zheng felt a little faint regret. Unfortunately, back then he also thought that once second brother was brought down, he would become the most promising person in the family, not expecting it to end up .

Gong Zheng truly regretted how he could have lost his senses then.
