Chapter 350: Chapter 350
Zhan Jing really doesn’t want to hear about the Gong Family affairs, especially knowing Gong Ruini is overthinking because of this, which makes her even more displeased.
"Each and every one of the Gong Family is so shortsighted; they’ll have days of regret in the future."
It’s amazing that such mediocre people are the ones the Gong Family focuses on cultivating. Zhan Jing can only think that Gong Dajiang managed to be someone, yet his descendants aren’t up to much.
Gong Zheng and the others? Gong Tao really doesn’t care. What he cares about is Gong Dajiang’s reputation while alive being ruined by Gong Zheng and the rest.
"Alright, why are you even worrying about that, you’re just staying here in the Northeast, let them stir things up. If you decide to advise them, it might backfire; they might suspect you’re trying to get a piece of the pie."
"Oh right, did you say some people have already been reassigned?" Zhao Gang suddenly remembered something he’d meant to ask earlier,
Truth be told, Zhao Gang never expected that those sent away for re-education would have the chance to return to the factory. It’s truly unbelievable.
Gong Tao wanted to find out more, but due to a sudden occurrence, he didn’t have the time, "I don’t think Gong Zhuang would need to deceive me."
"And Gong Zheng, in fact, was also probing to see if I intended to return." If there weren’t such rumors, Gong Zheng wouldn’t have needed to ask.
Gong Tao really looks down on Gong Zheng’s small-mindedness, is he just worried that if Gong Tao returns, he will steal his spotlight?
"Used to think Gong Zhuang was no good, crude in so many ways, but now I think he’s actually alright. Even if he’s plotting, at least he does it upfront." Much better than those who stab in the back.
A few people were gathered around Gong Ruini, chatting away. Little Ni Zi has been in a coma for days and hasn’t woken up, which is really worrying.
"If she doesn’t wake up tonight, we’ll go to the hospital." Zhan Jing is confident in her medical skills, but Gong Ruini not waking up really leaves her feeling helpless.
"Alright, I’ll get a carriage ready," Zhao Gang immediately promised to arrange a vehicle.
Cai Meina’s mouth moved a bit, realizing that Zhan Jing’s statement meant she was at a loss for Ni Zi’s condition. If even Zhan Jing couldn’t handle it, Cai Meina wasn’t sure if doctors at the hospital could help.
Nevertheless, they could only hope that the hospital could treat Ni Zi’s illness.
As the family found themselves at a loss about what to do—and considering sending Gong Ruini to the hospital—Gong Ruini finally woke up.
Looking at the familiar surroundings, "Mom..." Gong Ruini quietly listened to the protests of her stomach, feeling utterly embarrassed.
Gong Ruini couldn’t believe she fell asleep in the carriage. She didn’t think she slept for long—just missed dinner. How did she get so hungry? Gong Ruini was at a loss. ɪꜰ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴀɴᴛ ᴛᴏ ʀᴇᴀᴅ ᴍᴏʀᴇ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs, ᴘʟᴇᴀsᴇ ᴠɪsɪᴛ novelFirｅ.net
Turning to look around, she saw no one, and Hua Miaozhu was nowhere in sight, which was quite strange.
Gong Ruini knew Hua Miaozhu got up early every day, but not this early. Forget it, better get up and look in the kitchen for some food.
Her protesting stomach didn’t help; she really wanted to get up, but she found her body devoid of strength.
My God, Gong Ruini was astonished. Could it be she was so hungry that she became physically weak all over?
Gong Ruini felt so frail, inwardly cursing her bad luck.
"Sister, you’re awake." Zhao Banxia peeked in, checking if Gong Ruini had woken up, and was delighted to see her eyes open.
Even if Gong Ruini were a fool, she could tell something was wrong. If it were dawn, she wouldn’t see Zhao Banxia, even though they wake up early, but not this early.
Let alone see him so vibrant, which suggested it was likely evening. Moreover, why was Zhao Banxia so excited to see her awake? Gong Ruini couldn’t figure it out.
In the next room, although Gong Ruwen was doing his homework, his mind was fully on Gong Ruini. It had been several days—why hadn’t his sister woken up?
Especially hearing from Zhan Jing that if she didn’t wake, they would take her to the hospital. This scared Gong Ruwen, who had just sent Gong Dajiang off at the hospital.
Remembering his sister lying powerless in the hospital before made Gong Ruwen incredibly anxious.
Faced with familiar textbooks, Gong Ruwen really couldn’t focus on his homework. It was important, but not more so than his sister’s health.
Upon hearing Zhao Banxia say Ni Zi was awake, he pushed aside his homework and rushed into the room, "Sister, you’re awake."
Gong Ruwen was really apprehensive, worried his sister hadn’t awakened and Zhao Banxia had made a mistake—this wouldn’t be the first time it happened. But upon entering, he saw she really was awake.
His sister was smiling at him, which made Gong Ruwen so emotional he was nearly in tears. He gently hugged Gong Ruini, "Ni Zi, you’re finally awake."
"You know I was really worried, Dad and everyone else were worried too."
Startled by Gong Ruwen’s emotional gesture, Gong Ruini just wanted to say, she merely overslept one day, was there really a need for such excitement? Of course, she wanted to point out it still did not excuse not calling her to dinner, making her go hungry. But how did her big brother also get so emotional—did something happen she didn’t know about?
Gong Ruini was truly baffled, only able to look dumbly at Zhao Xuran and Zhao Guangran, who had rushed in after.
To Gong Ruini’s surprise, Zhao Guangran was actually crying with excitement, which scared her. Did Zhao Guangran do something silly while she was gone?
Like selling her out and waiting for her to clean up the mess? Eh, whatever. Considering Zhao Guangran was crying so hard, Gong Ruini decided she could forgive as long as it wasn’t something too awful. Who could blame him? After all, he was her brother, albeit one she often picked on.
"I knew you’d be okay, you’re such a little villain."
"They always say villains don’t go down so easily." Zhao Guangran was thrilled to see Gong Ruini awake. Though he always called her a brat, he never really thought anything bad would happen to her.
Even though his words were irritating, Gong Ruini rolled her eyes at Zhao Guangran. Couldn’t he speak properly—calling her a villain?
Please, she was the best kind of person out there. It’s just Zhao Guangran, that guy, who always thought badly of her—just because her grades and everything else were better than his, was that something to say about her?
Seems like some people hadn’t been taught a lesson, Gong Ruini felt the need to chat with Zhao Banxia and the others about putting a little pressure on Zhao Guangran. Otherwise, he’d grow crooked without some strain.
Look at that, just one rude comment and Gong Ruini had already rolled her eyes at him.
"Ni Zi, you’re finally alright. Finally, I can see you rolling your eyes again." Zhao Guangran exaggeratedly wrapped Gong Ruini in a hug, making her roll her eyes several more times at his comment.
Gong Ruini really wanted to ask if he was suffering from some kind of masochistic syndrome, missing the eye rolls she’d stopped giving him. Sigh, this kind of person really did show signs of being a submissive.
