Chapter 1428 - 1430

So hungry, Gong Ruini just felt her whole body was dizzy, and all sorts of powerless.

Each time she ate, Gong Ruini restrained herself in every way possible, trying hard not to let her chopsticks pick up more food.

As soon as she finished eating, she would immediately make her escape, otherwise, Gong Ruini really couldn’t control the urge to eat more.

Gong Ruini lay on the bed, doing all sorts of mental work on herself, hoping she could fall asleep early, only sleep could make her forget the hunger.

Gong Tao saw Gong Ruini dart back to her room, and he couldn’t help but say, "Look at the mess you’ve caused."

"You see Ni Zi getting thinner, are you happy now?"

Cai Meina didn’t feel good inside either, but remembering what she heard before, she felt she couldn’t soften her heart.

"Ah, you." His own wife just wouldn’t speak up, and Gong Tao was really frustrated.

Ever since their son told him about Cai Meina’s changes, he had long wanted to take his wife back with Zhao Gang’s family.

Staying here, they were just thinking of whether they could resolve the knots in his wife’s heart, lest she returns to China and still constantly causes trouble for Gong Ruini.

"Mom, you’re overthinking, always remembering what that woman said, but have you ever thought if a brother-in-law would do as she said?"

"Do you think Ni Zi would give up so easily?"

Gong Ruwen really didn’t expect his own mother would say something like that to Ni Zi just because she overheard something deliberately said for her to hear.

Gong Ruwen didn’t even know what to say when he found out the reason, it shook him to his core.

"Mom, I know you’re someone who easily softens, but can you please not let yourself be led astray so easily."

Gong Ruwen’s helplessness was obvious, clearly, his own mother wasn’t the naive teacher she once was, having experienced the harsh commercial world, so how could she be this naive now?

"Led astray, what does that mean, Cai Meina didn’t get it.

"The two voices you heard were actually one person," Gong Ruwen spoke with a bad attitude.

Oh, it was one person? Cai Meina didn’t chase about why Gong Ruwen knew. Since he straightforwardly said it was two voices, he must have found something.

"That woman studied vocal music for some time, she can switch between colors, not to mention she worked hard for it for a long time."

Gong Ruzhi was speechless, knowing their mom wasn’t that smart, but still being tricked like that, her intelligence was really concerning.

Gong Ruzhi felt it necessary to mention it to Aunt Zhan and Auntie. They should know mom wasn’t very smart, but back in China, she mustn’t be taken advantage of.

Gong Tao was also stunned. When his son told him before, although he believed him, he really didn’t have much hope for them finding out the truth of the matter.

In such a vast city like New York City, who would know who said what? The people here weren’t exactly cold but definitely not warm.

So there was no way someone would come forward as a good Samaritan, "How did you find out about this matter?"

Gong Tao was genuinely curious. Had they hired a detective?

Gong Ruzhi made a cocky entrance, "You have me to thank for that."

Gong Ruzhi was in such a good mood, although everyone said his brothers were capable, after coming to the United States, their abilities were far inferior to his.

Was it Xiao Zhi who found out the reason? Gong Tao was shocked that his youngest son actually had such strong social skills.

After Gong Ruzhi explained the reasoning behind how he found out, Gong Tao really didn’t know what to say.

"Impressive." His son in China would always naturally lend a hand to help older people crossing the street, and upon coming to the United States, he brought this habit with him.

Of course, most foreign older people weren’t too fond of this, but Gong Ruzhi actually made timeless friends with a couple downstairs by doing good deeds.

It was also they who revealed what they initially saw, "See, if I hadn’t done good deeds, would anyone have kindly informed us?"

Gong Ruzhi firmly declared it was all because of his persistence in doing good, "Good deeds bring rewards."

"Yes yes yes." Gong Tao unequivocally agreed with his son’s remarks; if not for his good deeds, how would anyone have provided the details.

"Was what they said true or not," Cai Meina still wouldn’t admit she had been tricked.

"How could it not be true?" Gong Tao replied huffily, "You trust someone who doesn’t even know the situation there, but you don’t trust your son and son-in-law."

"Even if the other side doesn’t admit it, it’s useless. We sent a lawyer’s letter to her."

"And she chickened out." Zhao Xuran didn’t want to stay here and argue with Cai Meina anymore.

Ever since hearing the other party repeat what was said, even though he didn’t know how much truth it held, it didn’t stop Zhao Xuran’s heart from turning cold.

Zhao Xuran admitted he wasn’t a pure-hearted person, but he was sincere to Ni Zi, yet why couldn’t Cai Meina trust him.

Watching Zhao Xuran’s silent back, Gong Tao wanted to raise his voice but held back. The house was already chaotic enough, it couldn’t get any worse.

"You, you keep trying, just look at what Ni Zi is like now."

"Eating so little, is it enough?"

"Are you trying to drive her or the baby in her belly to death?"

"Why can’t you think about how Old Zhao and his wife would feel about this?" Gong Tao remembered Zhao Gang a few days ago before leaving, with that look of wanting to say something but not; his heart grew tight.

"You say Ni Zi is fat, as if you’re a doctor; without a check-up, doctors wouldn’t even say that."

"Who is Zhan Jing? Isn’t she more knowledgeable in gynecological matters than you? Has she ever said Ni Zi was fat?"

"If Ni Zi is fine, then fine, but if something happens," Gong Tao didn’t know how Zhao Xuran would react with rage.

"Anyway, I can’t save you." Gong Tao sighed, getting ready to go downstairs.

If Gong Tao used to berate various others, Cai Meina would still be defiant, but when Gong Tao suddenly stopped and no longer criticized her, she truly panicked.

Just when Cai Meina wanted to stop Gong Tao, Gong Ruwen blocked her, "Let dad think about it."

Gong Ruwen really didn’t understand why his own mother at this time was just thinking about explaining one or two things to dad, why not think about what to say to Ni Zi.

Ultimately, the most unfortunate in this matter was Ni Zi, simply attending classes and resting at home to nurture her pregnancy, yet becoming a thorn in some people’s eyes.

"What’s wrong," Cai Meina’s tone wasn’t good, she couldn’t explode at Gong Tao, so wouldn’t she explode at Gong Ruwen?

Gong Ruwen was immune to Cai Meina’s unkind attitude, "Mom, don’t you think you should apologize to Ni Zi and Xuran?"

"Apologize?" She was the mother, how could she apologize to the younger ones, even though she felt a bit regret.

Seeing her daughter become much thinner in recent days, lacking in spirit, didn’t make her feel good.

But remembering the message received earlier and what she overheard that day, Cai Meina really didn’t want her daughter to regret it.

"Yes, you should at least apologize to Ni Zi." As for Zhao Xuran, Gong Ruwen felt it might be a bit difficult.
