Chapter 1440 - 1442

Gong Ruzhi looked at the pitiful piece of steak in front of him, then glanced at the steak and chicken wings in front of his sister.

"What are you looking at? I also have a piece of steak," Zhao Xuran said displeased.

If he wasn’t worried about what kind of trouble this brother-in-law might cause, he certainly wouldn’t have invited this kid to dinner.

He actually dared to make his wife cry in the little time he went to make a phone call.

They hadn’t thought it through, but as the younger brother, shouldn’t he consider the occasion and who the older sister is?

Yes, everyone has a piece of steak, that’s not wrong, but the sister would give some to the brother-in-law, without even considering her own brother.

Gong Ruzhi looked pitifully at Gong Ruini, hoping his sister would show some sympathy.

Of course, Gong Ruini noticed Gong Ruzhi’s pitiful look, but she did it on purpose—why should she give him food?

"These chicken wings are good, pretty tender."

"This egg tart is nice."

Gong Ruini and Zhao Xuran shared food, completely ignoring Gong Ruzhi.

In any case, this time he had to learn a lesson, or he would really think he could walk all over them.

5555, Gong Ruzhi ate the steak, but even at a famous restaurant, he felt it was tasteless, mainly because his sister was deliberately ignoring him.

At this point, if he still couldn’t see the problem, then he really was a blind man.

"Sis, I’m sorry." Although Gong Ruzhi didn’t feel he was too much earlier, he had to concede, women, sometimes they’re just unreasonable.

If he didn’t apologize this time, they would undoubtedly continue the cold war.

This guy actually apologized? Gong Ruini was quite surprised, "Your apology is useless, at least today I’m very angry."

"I am your sister after all, and you actually spoke ill of me at the airport in front of so many people."

"And you scolded me for so long."

"Do you know, I’m not alone, your niece also heard that."

"Do you think she would view me as useless, to be scolded by my younger brother?"

Ah, speaking ill of his sister at the airport, Gong Ruzhi admitted he hadn’t thought it through, but saying the niece heard it – wasn’t that a bit far-fetched?

"So, did I say something wrong?" Gong Ruini asked defiantly.

Though in his heart Gong Ruzhi felt his sister was being excessive, he absolutely couldn’t admit it as his brother-in-law was glaring at him fiercely from the side.

"I was wrong, Sis."

"Sis, just scold me."

"I won’t scold you." Gong Ruini touched her belly, which showed no signs of pregnancy.

"I want to be a good role model, I can’t go around scolding people."

Not scolding him? Does that mean forgiving him or still holding a grudge, Gong Ruzhi grew anxious, hoping for the former.

"You write a reflection paper, not too long, at least a thousand words."

"Deeply reflect on your mistakes and properly apologize to me."

"The main point is to let the baby know what foolish things her uncle has done." Gong Ruini indicated that the apology wasn’t really for her, but for the baby in her belly.

Oh my, Gong Ruzhi felt faint, "Alright."

A thousand-word reflection needed to be profound, but Gong Ruzhi felt certain his sister wouldn’t let him off so easily.

But he couldn’t figure out where the problem lay, yet just based on that strange smile his sister gave him earlier, there was definitely an issue.

Gong Ruzhi only realized what it was upon arriving at the company.

"Oh god." Gong Ruzhi knew the matter couldn’t be resolved so easily, he didn’t expect there to be such a big pitfall.

Regret, Gong Ruzhi deeply regretted ever getting carried away seeing how compliant his sister seemed and saying what he shouldn’t have.

"What’s wrong?" Dai Liren turned to look at Gong Ruzhi after hearing his exclamation. "By the way, why didn’t you want me to pick you up?"

"My sister and her husband are just here for some sun, Brother Xu Ran rented a car to send me." Gong Ruzhi replied listlessly.

He felt lifeless just thinking about facing Gong Ruini next.

Even seeing a computer, he couldn’t get into work mode.

Dai Liren’s action of drinking coffee froze mid-air, "What did you say, you said Xu Ran and the others are here?"

"Wait, isn’t your sister pregnant?" Is flying safe for someone who recently conceived?

"Yes, they consulted the doctor and were told it’s okay to fly." Gong Ruzhi replied with a helpless look.

Dai Liren gave an ’oh’, since Zhao Xuran, the father of the child, said it was fine, there shouldn’t be any problem.

"Why not let them come up for a look?" Even though they had shown office photos to Zhao Xuran before, photos never do justice compared to the real thing.

"No, they still have to head back." Gong Ruzhi walked to his desk and sat down. Would he reveal the truth?

At this moment, Gong Ruzhi was extremely glad Dai Liren wasn’t staring at him while he spoke, otherwise he couldn’t guarantee how he’d avert detection.

"Oh, by the way, when are they leaving?" Since he knew, he couldn’t ignore the social obligation of hosting.

"They’re leaving with me." Gong Ruwen had a reminder of the task his sister gave him.

Even knowing it’s a trap, he had to complete it, "Brother Dai, have you ever written a reflection paper?"

Dai Liren seemed bemused, though not a big deal like his big brother, he wasn’t like the troublemaker that was Dai Limin, "I haven’t. Why?"

Something was fishy, why was Gong Ruzhi asking about a reflection paper, "You don’t need to write a reflection paper, right?"

Gong Ruzhi wanted to say a friend needed to write it, such an embarrassing thing, how could he admit to it?

Unexpectedly, Brother Dai quickly connected the dots, what should he do?

He could only admit it, otherwise there would be no good outcome, nodding reluctantly, "Yeah."

No way, actually, Dai Liren was just fishing and didn’t expect the most implausible outcome to be true, "What happened to you?"

"I, I ticked off my sister."

"Now she wants me to write a thousand-word reflection and says it must satisfy my niece."

Passed by a niece? Dai Liren found it all a bit dizzying, not quite comprehending.

Oh, how could he be so dense, Gong Ruzhi couldn’t help but grumble in his heart but had to explain who this ’niece’ was.

How could a baby in her mom’s belly understand a reflection paper? Okay, that’s a bit much, the key issue is, "How do you know she’s satisfied, she forgives you?"

"Isn’t that up to my sister?" Gong Ruzhi replied helplessly.

Got it, Dai Liren said he understood, "Then write a few versions."

"Each one should be better than the last," Dai Liren advised from experience.

Ah, really, writing several versions, Gong Ruzhi wasn’t too surprised by Dai Liren’s suggestion, he had suspected as much himself.

Now that it was confirmed, Gong Ruzhi felt like he wanted to die.

Seeing Gong Ruzhi’s slumped shoulders, Dai Liren stood up and patted them, "Want some snacks?"

Right now he had no appetite for food, feeling lifeless, he waved his hand, "I’ll just get to work first."
