Back to the 70s: My Childhood Sweetheart Spoils Me Rotten
Chapter 1462 - 1464
Watching his brother, who changes his mind in an instant, Zhao Xuran remained silent.
It’s not that he doesn’t care about the issue, but Zhao Guangran has too many things to handle.
Many times, what he says sounds serious and if you really take it seriously and try to handle it, it’s nothing but a headache.
Once you figure out how to handle it properly without hurting this kid’s feelings, you’ll find he has already changed his mind.
This happens once, twice, and after several times, Zhao Xuran just ignores Zhao Guangran’s occasional strange ideas.
Anyway, he will definitely forget about it in no time.
More importantly, he says, "Mom." Seeing Zhan Jing looking so exhausted, Zhao Xuran truly felt guilty.
Zhan Jing flew here alone from the mainland. It’s not that Cai Meina and the others didn’t want to come, but with the New Year approaching, there are too many things going on at home.
They can’t just leave Zhao Gang and the others to deal with things.
Even though she’s been to the United States twice, Zhan Jing felt quite apprehensive, always worrying about not being able to get through customs.
Seeing her two sons waiting at the airport exit, Zhan Jing finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Xuran."
"Guang Ran."
"Jia Ming."
Zhan Jing initially thought only Zhao Xuran would come to pick her up, but unexpectedly Zhao Guangran and the others had come too.
"Weren’t you supposed to be in Japan?" Zhan Jing suddenly remembered Zhao Guangran was supposed to be busy making money in Japan, why was he suddenly at New York Airport?
"Could it be that things in Japan are already settled?" With so much to deal with, Zhao Guangran’s circumstances often get relayed via Zhao Gang.
Zhao Guangran was dumbfounded. Earlier, he’d made many plans, thinking about how to handle mom’s various emotional reactions upon seeing him.
Zhao Guangran really thought his preparations were thorough, but didn’t expect mom would approach from a perspective he hadn’t even considered.
"Mom, you really don’t care about me," Zhao Guangran said, feeling aggrieved.
Feeling somewhat guilty about her second son’s complaint, Zhan Jing admitted she hadn’t been keeping track of Zhao Guangran’s whereabouts lately.
"Sorry, sorry." Watching Zhao Xuran standing quietly on the side, the guilt Zhan Jing felt was instantly gone.
It was clear that Zhao Guangran was just pretending, so this time she didn’t play along.
"Since you’re already back in the United States, take a break and rest well."
"And what have you been eating lately, why does your face look round like a ball?" Zhan Jing stared at Zhao Guangran for a while before blurting this out.
Like a ball, like a ball, how does he look like a ball, Zhao Guangran was once again hurt by Zhan Jing’s words.
When other parents meet sons they’ve not seen for a while, they’re usually excited about how hard their sons work.
Why did it turn into ’son, you got fat’ when it came to him? Is she really his mom?
Feeling a bit dismal, Zhao Guangran watched as Gong Jiaming and Zhao Xuran couldn’t help but laugh.
"Yes, Guang Ran has been at home eating and sleeping," Zhao Xuran teased.
When he first got home, Zhao Xuran naturally pampered this brother, considering how tough things were in Japan, he definitely needed to replenish.
But with him lounging around like he owns the place all the time, it’s starting to annoy Zhao Xuran.
He would talk to Zhao Guangran about it, and he’d just reply with an ’oh, I know’ kind of attitude, but never actually change anything, driving Zhao Xuran crazy.
Now given this opportunity, he couldn’t miss out.
Simply eating and sleeping, isn’t that letting Xuran take care of him? Zhan Jing got angry, "Did you really let your brother take care of you?"
"Do you even know Ni Zi is pregnant?"
"Xuran, I just want to say, why do you look so exhausted?" Zhan Jing looked at him lovingly.
Then she glared at Zhao Guangran, "Ni Zi is pregnant, with twins, and it’s already tough enough. Can’t you help your brother?"
Zhao Guangran regretted it, why did he insist on coming to pick up mom in the first place, this wasn’t picking up mom, it was like a public criticism session.
Quickly, Zhao Guangran grabbed the luggage cart, deciding to put on a good show.
"Mom, have something to eat."
"There’s food at home." Why did he have to mention it? Just after he spoke, Zhao Guangran knew he had done something stupid again, perhaps mom was going to scold him again.
There’s food at home? Even if Zhao Guangran mentioned it, did it have anything to do with this kid? "Your brother made it, right?" Zhan Jing said with a huff.
Not a sound, he mustn’t make a sound, once he responds, Zhao Guangran can foresee how mom will proceed with her ’loving education’.
"Not talking?" Zhan Jing saw Zhao Guangran lowering his head silently, proving her words were right.
Well, forget it, not the place to talk about her son, even if it’s the United States and not many people might understand Chinese, Zhan Jing was very mindful.
Now her youngest son really isn’t a nobody in the U.S., he has some fame, can’t ruin his glorious image.
Zhan Jing stopped focusing on Zhao Guangran, and Gong Jiaming and the others naturally didn’t target Zhao Guangran either, allowing the latter to finally breathe easily.
"Mom, should we buy some traditional medicine to supplement sister-in-law?" Once they got in the car, Zhao Guangran urgently asked.
Was he watching from a young age as she treated people? Zhan Jing felt relieved, thankfully this boy had no interest in medicine.
Otherwise with his slapdash personality, problems would surely arise.
"I haven’t even checked Ni Zi’s pulse, how would I know the situation?" Zhan Jing said sternly.
"They have gone for another check-up..." Zhao Xuran didn’t really understand much about these things, but he tried hard to remember everything the doctor had said back then and now recited it to Zhan Jing.
When she heard about Gong Ruini’s situation from Zhao Xuran’s mouth domestically, it gave her quite a shock.
Unexpectedly, the circumstances Zhao Xuran described over the phone were nothing compared to the reality.
Zhan Jing had seen big scenes, she managed to slowly control situations back then, there’s no reason she can’t handle this now.
"When we get back, I’ll assess the situation. If things really aren’t great, I think we can consider letting go of this child," Zhan Jing said with an effort to sound calm.
Even though she had never seen this child and doesn’t have deep feelings for him, he is her grandson; just thinking about it pains her, but she mustn’t cry.
At this moment, she was a professional doctor, needing to discuss the situation thoroughly, allowing Zhao Xuran to make a decision.
Listening to Zhan Jing’s words, Zhao Xuran felt sorrow that seemed uncontrollable, actually doctors had suggested during this difficult situation.
But making such a choice, he really couldn’t do it.
"Mom, what should I do?" Zhao Xuran tried to suppress it, but he found he couldn’t remain calm.
Tears flowed uncontrollably, "Mom, if the child is lost, Ni Zi will also collapse."
"And I will collapse too." Zhao Xuran understood his words carried some threat.
But apart from this, he genuinely didn’t know what to do.
