Chapter 1467 - 1469

Zhao Xuran had wanted to go in and see how his wife was doing, but he didn’t dare to enter.

Before knowing how the conversation between Mom and Ni Zi went, Zhao Xuran didn’t know what to say if he went in.

But after waiting for a long time, countless possibilities floated through Zhao Xuran’s mind.

The longer it took, the more anxious Zhao Xuran became. Just as he was considering taking the opportunity to deliver food to get in, he heard Zhan Jing’s voice like a cannon.

Oh my God, Zhao Xuran stood straight up; he had truly never heard his mom shout like that ever since he was a child.

Not even when she was in labor with the twins did he hear her shout like that.

But today, Zhan Jing shouted like that; could the situation be really bad?

But how bad could the situation be, Zhao Xuran panicked and didn’t know what to do.

Originally feeling indignant, Zhao Guangran was so shaken by Zhan Jing’s shout that he fell off his chair.

His mother’s behavior was really unladylike. "If Grandma were here, she would definitely say Mom needs a good lesson in etiquette again."

Zhao Guangran actually wanted to joke around a bit because the situation was really tense.

In the past, when Zhao Guangran said something like that, someone would have responded to lighten the mood.

But now the situation was different, Gong Ruzhi was thinking about how his sister was doing and whether she was unhappy in the room.

No, it shouldn’t be unhappiness; perhaps she’s on the verge of a breakdown.

No way, at this time, his sister needed the presence of her family.

Gong Ruzhi rushed to Gong Ruini’s bedroom, leaving Zhao Xuran, still in a stiff state, unattended.

In Gong Ruzhi’s view, if Zhao Xuran hadn’t insisted his sister have the baby, she wouldn’t be like this now.

If Zhan Jing weren’t present, Gong Ruzhi really didn’t want Zhao Xuran to see his sister now.

Gong Ruzhi knew he needed to give Brother Xu Ran some face, but when he burst into the room, he saw Sister Ni’s pale face.

"Sis, sis." Gong Ruzhi was terrified. Although his sister always said she was getting fat, she was actually in good shape.

But he didn’t expect that in such a short time, his sister would become so frightening.

"Aunt Zhan, my sister, my sister..." Gong Ruzhi turned to look at Zhan Jing, surely she knew why.

Zhan Jing was also frightened. Although Gong Ruini was not doing well before, it was never this scary.

"Ni Zi." Zhao Xuran rushed in from outside, seeing Gong Ruini’s face that pale, he also panicked, not knowing what to do.

"Mom." Things were fine just now, how could it suddenly become like this?

Zhan Jing didn’t know what to say, but she couldn’t withstand the stares, especially from Gong Ruzhi and Gong Jiaming, whose gazes left her unable to cope.

Zhan Jing really wasn’t panicking; she really hadn’t done anything, just lightly repeated what Gong Ruini had said before.

When Gong Ruini said those words before, her expression was somewhat frenzied, and Zhan Jing didn’t think much of it, but now thinking about it, Gong Ruini was genuinely acting strange then.

In Zhan Jing’s mind, there was also a very strange thought, that maybe what Gong Ruini said was true.

As soon as this notion popped up, Zhan Jing pushed it down, as it was too bizarre a thought.

Oh, it couldn’t be; how could it be revenge taken on her and not on the child, Gong Ruzhi couldn’t understand.

"Bro, do you understand?" Even though he didn’t want to pay attention to Zhao Xuran, among those present, only this brother understood these things.

He called him brother again, Zhao Xuran’s expression darkened, this kid would call him brother-in-law if in a good mood, but calling him brother meant he did something wrong towards his sister.

This really made Zhao Xuran very anxious; he truly didn’t know what foolish things he’d done.

"Ni Zi has never done anything bad." Zhao Xuran thought for a long time and really didn’t think Ni Zi would have grievances with anyone.

"Of course, I don’t know if someone might feel she’s blocking their path to wealth." The family’s business has grown to this point, and it’s hard to know how many people are disgruntled.

If not for the family being relatively stable now, with backing, he really wouldn’t know how to manage those people’s discontent.

Blocking someone’s path to wealth isn’t an issue, "Never thought Ni Zi would see it as a problem before." Zhan Jing was puzzled.

This isn’t so hard to understand, "Before, circumstances were special, now she’s not alone." Zhao Xuran used to always think he needed to grow up and mature quickly.

But ever since he found out he was going to be a father, he became especially anxious, wanting time to slow down so he could grow alongside the child.

Of course, he also wanted to give the child the best things, food, drink, play, and lifestyle. In any case, Zhao Xuran’s child shouldn’t be too restrained.

Zhao Xuran just hopes to work harder and harder, in short, he wants to expand the company.

But now knowing about Ni Zi’s situation, Zhao Xuran was anxious again. At first, he sincerely accompanied Ni Zi, always watching over her, and in short, the moment he opened his eyes it was Gong Ruini, before closing his eyes it was Gong Ruini.

But he’s also busy, plus needing to earn a little living expense here in the United States, being a novice in the financial world, Zhao Xuran truly invested a lot in this matter.

Although he felt somewhat sorry for Gong Ruini, upon learning of this situation faced by Ni Zi, he genuinely regretted not considering more that Ni Zi was experiencing her first pregnancy too.

Even with Gong Ruzhi around to help sort and share some things, but with the belly growing day by day, watching her man busy with this and that, her heart wasn’t at ease.

"Ni Zi, Ni Zi, it’s my fault, I shouldn’t have stopped discussing things with you."

"I really shouldn’t have ignored you." Although he’d done a lot of good things for Ni Zi, what good did it do? Many times, she just quietly read books.

Gong Ruini could understand his busyness, but later on, Zhao Xuran found himself becoming increasingly complacent. How could he behave like this?

Zhao Xuran really wanted to give himself a good punch, just because he’d cooked good meals for Ni Zi and heard people say he’s a good man, did that mean the image fit him in every way?

Zhao Xuran grasped Gong Ruini’s hand and started to cry.

Gong Ruzhi was dumbfounded; he had indeed been very dissatisfied with Zhao Xuran, but seeing him like this, he couldn’t muster the anger anymore.

Zhao Guangran was shocked, how could it be, how could big brother be reflecting on his mistakes?

And why was Gong Ruini’s face so white, did something happen?

Zhao Guangran dared not ask, nor dared to look at Gong Ruini.

He really didn’t understand; wasn’t it just about confirming something? Though it sounded serious, Mom had been a doctor for so long, surely she wouldn’t be unable to handle this issue?
