Chapter 231: Chapter 231
Zhao Guangran looked at his crying brother in amazement, "Bro, is this my brother?"
"Why are they so ugly?" Zhao Guangran truly despised his own brother.
The wrinkled appearance was like a little old man, "So ugly, how will my brother have friends in the future?"
Zhao Guangran was seriously worried about his brother, "I wonder if he’s smart."
"What if he’s a fool?"
"I, your second brother, may not be smart, I’m a fool, but at least I’m good-looking. What if you’re neither good-looking nor smart?"
Zhao Guangran was really troubled. Gong Ruini, although she also thought the two kids were kind of ugly, believed they wouldn’t be too dumb.
Even if their brother is a fool, as long as Zhao Xuran is around, he’ll definitely make sure that even the dumbest bird flies first. "Brother Guangran, you need to work harder and show your brothers that even if they’re not smart, as long as they work hard, it’s enough."
Ah, why does he have to be the role model? Zhao Guangran felt the pressure was immense, "Why me?"
This kid is so stupid that he’s beyond saving. Gong Ruini asked back, "Who among the four of us do you think should be the role model?" This update ıs available on NoveI-Fire.ɴet
It’s not necessary to choose Zhao Guangran, but this kid is just extraordinarily lacking.
It’s a good question, Gong Ruwen was trying to make someone face the reality of his current situation. "Tell me, other than you, who among us is the dumbest?"
This sibling duo is really his nemesis. It used to be only Ni Zi who would provoke him, and now even Brother Zhao is mocking him. It’s not just offensive; it’s overly offensive.
"Brother Ruiwen, do you also think I’m dumb?" Zhao Guangran looked pitifully at Gong Ruwen, as if saying, you can’t just call me dumb.
Seeing this kid’s pitiful look, Gong Ruwen seemed a bit reluctant, but some truths still need to be said. "Among us, you’re indeed the dumbest, so you must work hard."
"Yes, if you don’t work hard, not only will we think so, but your brothers in the future will also think the same." Zhao Xuran came in with a bowl of chicken soup and casually replied.
Ahhhhh, if it were the Gong sisters, Zhao Guangran could ignore them, but he really couldn’t ignore Zhao Xuran’s words. How could his own big brother be so excessive, siding with outsiders?
"Brother." Zhao Guangran was fed up, almost unable to hold back his tears.
No way, what’s wrong with Zhao Guangran today? The Gong siblings were dumbfounded. They’d teased Zhao Guangran before, but the kid never showed such a vulnerable side. Why is he acting like a girl today?
Gong Ruini originally wanted to say Zhao Guangran was acting like a girl, but seeing him , she didn’t dare say it. Alright, the task of comforting Zhao Guangran was left to Zhao Xuran. It’s likely the kid was worried about being overshadowed by his two younger brothers.
Zhao Gang was excited today. Although his wife went through a bit of trouble giving birth, everything turned out fine. Both mother and children were safe.
"Why aren’t you going back to rest?" Zhao Gang saw the four kids in the room and thought it was a bit crowded, which might disturb his wife and children from resting.
As soon as Zhao Gang finished speaking, Zhao Guangran couldn’t control his tears anymore, and he was on the verge of wailing.
Oh my, Gong Ruini was stunned, her eyes constantly drifting towards Zhao Xuran. This could only be handled by the taller one.
Zhao Xuran was also startled by Zhao Guangran. He had noticed his brother’s emotions were a bit off these days, but he always thought Zhao Guangran would understand things himself. Now he realized this kid was hiding things pretty deep.
"Son, what’s wrong?" Zhao Guangran’s cry dumbfounded Zhao Gang, and what worried him more was that the twins, who had been sleeping soundly, also started wailing.
"A trio concert." This kind of environment was a bit overwhelming for Gong Ruini. In any case, it was an internal Zhao Family affair, and she, as an outsider, shouldn’t stay here.
"The brothers are so ugly." Zhao Guangran always thought the twins weren’t just plain ugly. Unexpectedly, when they cried, they became even uglier. "What will happen when they grow up, and what if they’re dumb?"
Zhao Gang had been busy and flustered, not knowing what to do. Suddenly hearing Zhao Guangran say the twins were ugly and might be dumb made Zhao Gang quite angry.
Gong Ruini happened to turn around and saw Zhao Gang’s displeased expression. Sigh, no matter how ugly the kids are, they are his own children. How could anyone be allowed to criticize?
It’s expected Zhao Guangran wouldn’t have it easy, and sure enough, Zhao Gang exploded, "Hey, how can you talk about your brother like that?"
"Where are your brothers ugly? Actually, you were even uglier when you were born."
"Honestly speaking, you’re actually the ugliest among the four kids."
Ahhhhh, Gong Ruini hastened her departure. This was a spectacle she didn’t want to witness. Zhao Guangran was already quite fragile, and Zhao Gang wasn’t comforting him properly—rather, he was adding fuel to the fire, likely pushing the kid to a breakdown.
Once back in her room, Gong Ruini finally breathed a sigh of relief, "Sigh, Uncle Zhao Gang was too emotional today. If he had just comforted Guangran a bit, that would have been enough."
Actually, Zhao Guangran was just getting himself into a spiral, always wondering if his parents would favor his brothers over him in the future. Though it’s true that Zhan Jing and the others would certainly spend more effort on the newborns, if Zhao Guangran is jealous over this, he’s indeed being a bit petty.
Having a talk with Zhao Xuran could have resolved things, but instead, this kid just had to say his brothers were ugly and dumb in front of Zhao Gang. How could Zhao Gang not be jumpy?
Even if one were to try to dissuade Zhao Guangran, the idea would vanish. It’s hard to say whether Zhao Guangran will develop any notions about his twin brothers.
Gong Ruini didn’t want her family to be in chaos just because of two newborns.
"Alright, let’s go in." Zhao Xuran reluctantly pushed Zhao Guangran, who was still wiping his tears, into the room.
"I don’t want to go in." Zhao Guangran sobbed, having been scolded by his father. Gong Ruini even heard it, and who knows how she might mock him.
Thinking of this made Zhao Guangran feel even more wronged. His dad didn’t like him anymore, and his dignity was gone today. What was he going to do in the future?
"We’re back. Perfect timing, my mom just brought in dinner. Let’s eat." Gong Ruini wasn’t going to rub salt into the wound at this moment. The priority was to suppress Zhao Guangran’s tears.
Moreover, if Cai Meina were to have another younger sibling, who knows if she would also cause trouble. After all, transitioning from the most adored child to an older sister introduces a psychological gap.
Believing herself to be mentally mature, Gong Ruini would still feel a bit jealous, let alone Zhao Guangran. Sigh.
Zhao Guangran stared at Gong Ruini for a while and found she wasn’t laughing at him. "Ni Zi, I’m a brother now."
Isn’t that obvious? After seeing those two monkey-like babies, "I know, I’m a sister now too. I’m no longer the youngest."
Ah, even though they’re not her biological siblings, with the family’s focus shifting, sigh, Gong Ruini started feeling a bit down as well. The sense of losing her status wasn’t pleasant.
