Chapter 288: Chapter 288

Zhao Guangran really felt like he had been dreaming all day. It was just too unreal.

Zhao Guangran pinched himself once more. The pain, oh, it was so sharp he almost cried out. No, being able to feel pain meant this probably wasn’t a dream.

But would Gong Ruini really have such a good attitude towards him in reality?

Would she smile at him in all sorts of ways? No longer put him down or mock him?

Zhao Guangran had always been trampled on by Gong Ruini and was used to hearing sarcastic remarks, so now this gentle tone, the one asking for his opinion, was that really Gong Ruini?

No, Zhao Guangran found it hard to believe. Could this Gong Ruini be an imposter?

After thinking it over, that seemed the only possibility. To prove his theory, Zhao Guangran reached out and pinched Gong Ruini, "It’s real."

Zhao Guangran only acted to confirm his thoughts, but it came across differently to Gong Ruini.

It hurt, not like pinching yourself, so the pinch was fierce. Hmph, is this harassment?

Fine, even if she’s a young girl, there’s no need to pinch so hard.

Looks like my attitude was too nice, making Zhao Guangran think I’m easy to bully.

So what if they are the heirs of Shiyu Hall?

So what if Shiyu Hall becomes a big name in the Chinese medicine world in future?

Right now, the Zhao Family, like the Gong Family, is down in the Northeast undergoing re-education. They’re starting from the same level.

Even if Zhan Jing is skilled in medicine, has secret recipes, and has a super capable son, or two medical genius sons, so what?

The Gong Family may not have a deep foundation, but the Gong Family has a daughter from a time traveler. Say no more, just ride the stock market wave to get rich, then invest in rotten apples in the U.S., or invest in something destined to fail, aren’t those all lucrative deals?

By then, let my dad become a real estate developer, Gong Ruini refuses to believe her family’s base wouldn’t be deeper than the Zhao Family’s or have more assets than Shiyu Hall.

Thinking of this, Gong Ruini felt less reason to wrong herself. Why really wrong herself? That’s stifling.

In just a short while, Gong Ruini already felt uncomfortable. The thought of continuing long-term made her heart cry.

"What, I was just a bit sorry yesterday for not finding the treasure and couldn’t give Brother Xu Ran much. So I wanted to perform better today." Gong Ruini’s mind was quick, and she soon came up with a backstory for her earlier odd behavior.

"Brother Guangran, you were just incidental. Didn’t expect you’d be so cocky." Sigh, really a bit too cocky, daring to pinch her. Really a death wish.

Remembering the scene earlier, Gong Ruini asked meaningfully, "Brother Guangran, is your thigh already bruised?"

Poor kid, just a bit of kindness and he already couldn’t believe it, endlessly pinching his thigh so hard, just watching made Gong Ruini feel pain.

The problem is, pinching once might be fine, but to pinch so many times, it’s hard to comprehend what this guy was thinking.

Ah, Gong Ruini saw it all, and Zhao Guangran felt utterly humiliated. How could such a thing be seen by Gong Ruini? It’s really a slap to his pride, making it hard to show off in front of Gong Ruini later.

Gong Ruini, speaking while harshly pinching Zhao Guangran’s fat face, "Let’s see you pinch me again."

"Don’t you know how to be a bit gentle?"

Now Gong Ruini felt the corner of her mouth was hurting. If she didn’t make a vengeful pinch to counter this loss, she’d really feel all sorts of displeasure.

Oh my gosh, Zhao Guangran was scared by Gong Ruini’s fierce look. He never expected Gong Ruini to pinch so harshly, "You... "

"What about me." Gong Ruini glared at Zhao Guangran. See, no matter how you flatter this kid, he’ll only think of bullying people, so in crucial moments, you can only rely on yourself.

Yikes, not fair, his pinch was much lighter, and Gong Ruini’s pinch was very heavy. Zhao Guangran felt he must retaliate.

Gong Ruini wouldn’t stupidly wait for Zhao Guangran to retaliate, she had already run behind Zhao Xuran, making Zhao Guangran angry, "Hey, if you’re so tough, don’t hide behind my brother."

"If you’re so tough, come at me." Gong Ruini absolutely wouldn’t naively run out, can she outrun Zhao Guangran?

So, it’s better to honestly find a reliable refuge, and Zhao Xuran was Gong Ruini’s chosen target.

Hmph, Zhao Guangran didn’t dare to grab someone from behind his brother, didn’t he see his big brother was protecting Gong Ruini all along?

"Right, didn’t you get something?" Zhao Guangran remembered his dad saying yesterday that although there wasn’t much, they still found something. Could it be that Gong Ruini didn’t get it, or she didn’t want to share?

Hmph, don’t think that saying a few good words would fool my brother, Zhao Guangran felt that as long as he was around, Gong Ruini wouldn’t succeed in her scheme.

Zhao Xuran really didn’t plan to take anything from Gong Ruini, rolling his eyes at Zhao Guangran, indicating he shouldn’t go too far, but the latter ignored him completely.

Unfortunately, Gong Ruini never thought about swallowing Zhao Xuran’s share. Even though she felt there was no need to wrong herself by clinging to a big brother with such an unsightly manner, she didn’t want to offend a future domineering CEO either.

Moreover, she had promised yesterday to do it, so she must follow through.

Gong Ruini poured several ingots from her small bag, "I got ten silver coins."

"And eight small silver ingots."

"Four small gold ingots." These were said to have been dropped during the transport, and Gong Ruini couldn’t even imagine how much this wealth amounted to.

This was a quarter, and maybe there were still some lost items that Zhao Gang and the others didn’t pick up yesterday. If the treasure weren’t plenty, they wouldn’t have missed it.

Now Gong Ruini was feeling a bit regretful. Such a huge wealth just disappeared like that, her heart really ached. If she didn’t know there was such a thing, Gong Ruini could comfort herself by thinking there were no good things. This update ıs available on novｅlfire.net

But seeing so many things now, Gong Ruini couldn’t tell herself that.

Didn’t they say there was nothing left? I thought there wouldn’t be much, never expected there’d be so much. Zhao Guangran was stunned, "So much."

Although it couldn’t compare with the last treasure find, these things were all theirs, after all.

Zhao Xuran was also a bit surprised that there was so much, but to actually take it, he couldn’t bring himself to do so.

Zhao Xuran shook his head with a smile, indicating that he didn’t want the items.

How could Gong Ruini take anything? Hmm, if she didn’t know Zhao Xuran’s future identity, maybe Gong Ruini, using her young girl status, would have taken the items, but she wasn’t just any ordinary little girl.

"Even though I’m a child, I must do what I promised earlier." Gong Ruini quickly split the items in half, took her half, and left the other half on the table. Anyway, she wouldn’t take it.

Such a stubborn child, Zhao Xuran reluctantly took the items, but he vowed that he must return these things to Gong Ruini when he had the chance in the future.
