Chapter 1528 - 1530

Zhao Guangran watched Gong Ruini return home with a cheerful smile, knowing that his big brother definitely managed to cheer her up.

"The store you recommended is pretty good."

"By the way, you mentioned last time that the bank offers safe deposit box services, right?"

Gong Ruini suggested keeping things at home since there’s already a safe, but Zhao Xuran felt uneasy about it.

Going to the bank to store things? "How much did you spend today?"

Perhaps realizing he was being too straightforward, he rephrased, "How many things did you buy?"

Zhao Xuran cautiously pulled Zhao Guangran aside and recapped the things he bought over the past few days.

Zhao Guangran gasped, "My gosh, big brother, you..."

Zhao Guangran always thought he was quite generous when it came to spending on women, but his big brother’s actions were truly shocking.

"What about me? Didn’t you say these purchases would be worthwhile?"

"I’ve researched it; the prices on these items really skyrocket."

Ugh, Zhao Guangran was taken aback by Zhao Xuran’s words—what did his big brother mean by this?

Back then, Zhao Guangran said it to prevent his big brother from getting a fright after seeing the prices—not that he didn’t frequently browse jewelry stores back home.

But those were gold pieces; can they compare to diamond prices?

Not to mention those designed by famous designers; though his big brother was wealthy, Zhao Guangran worried his big brother might react like a country bumpkin.

What if his big brother gasped at the price? Although store staff is well-trained, typically they wouldn’t show any disdain.

Still, would they remember? They don’t know Zhao Xuran, but since Zhao Guangran made the appointment, wouldn’t they connect the dots?

Little did he know, his worries were unfounded; his big brother proved to be quite a lavish spender.

"Anyway, I’ve decided that whenever I have time, I should visit jewelry stores more often and buy lots of diamonds—for your sister-in-law and An An," Zhao Xuran planned with a future-oriented expression.

"You see how mom gives Ni Zi nice things? When Pingping marries, your sister-in-law can’t be stingy," Zhao Xuran expressed a look of planning for the future.

Exhausting, really exhausting, Zhao Guangran thought as he watched Zhao Xuran’s conflicted appearance, feeling a strong urge to smack him into oblivion—was this concern for the future or taunting a bachelor like him?

Knowing his big brother wasn’t doing it on purpose, yet this unintentional behavior was most aggravating.

"It seems you should have received a VIP price today?" Zhao Guangran really wanted to know how his big brother’s recent learning had progressed.

He knew before that his big brother made some money in the stock market; otherwise, he wouldn’t be flaunting wanting to buy things for Ni Zi and the others.

But little did he expect, his big brother was indeed so generous—seeing such talent in the stock market, if not harnessed, he felt even heaven would deem it wasted.

"Yeah, yeah, later your sister-in-law picked a platinum and diamond brooch without spending money; they directly gifted it," Zhao Xuran said with joy.

Even though it wasn’t that he lacked such money, the gesture from the opposite party satisfied him greatly.

Buying more led the store to gift items; Zhao Guangran found no issue with this. Still, he hadn’t expected them to gift thousands-worth of stuff, "Bro, if new products are launched there, they’ll give you a brochure."

"Really? That’s the best," Zhao Xuran grinned with excitement, "Otherwise, I thought of visiting periodically but worried good stuff would get snagged."

"Diamonds, really when you encounter great ones, can’t hesitate—must strike immediately," Zhao Xuran expressed gleefully.

Yes, especially good diamonds are rare; but why, big brother, does your talk make one itchy?

"Go, go, they’ll make you eager to contribute on that side." Humph, what about sending sample books—that’s to entice you to keep spending.

"So what if I contribute?" Zhao Xuran showed no fear.

"Who knows whom the jewelry you bought will benefit?"

"I’ve gifted them to my wife," Zhao Xuran replied proudly.

Go, leave, seeing this brother today multiplies unhappiness.

"Yeah, when I gift, that’s my wife too."

"I only share bed sheets with my wife," Zhao Guangran retorted furiously, "Do you truly think I’m a playboy?"

Oh, Zhao Xuran disdainfully looked at Zhao Guangran, knowing his brother cherished saving face—look here, even such absurdity emerges.

Even though both are wives, anyway, "What I gift my wife is for Zhao Family descendants, yours?"

"Who knows which descendants it’ll benefit," Zhao Xuran gloatingly declared.

Not bothering with this brother, today someone went overboard with spending, rendering them irrational, Zhao Guangran kept reassuring himself.

Yet watching this brother’s expression, truly infuriating, "Fine by me, I’ve got money."

"Then keep earning slowly," Zhao Xuran dusted off before departing, fearing this poor Zhao Guangran might get pushed to cerebral hemorrhage if continued.

Ahhhhh, is he planning to just leave? Without wrapping up, Zhao Guangran urgently grabbed Zhao Xuran.

What’s this about, why stop him from leaving? Wasn’t it just now heaps of disdain and heaps of belittling?

How come now he’s holding him back—could it be he’s hoping for more scolding?

"Big brother, you made money in the stock market, proving your capability; join us," For saving labor costs, for earning more, Zhao Guangran warned himself to endure.

Endure hardship to become a respected person—once Zhao Xuran joins the company, Zhao Guangran believed he wouldn’t miss the opportunity to teach him hard.

Overall, ensuring he educates this brother until pleading for life and death, knowing where to behave quietly and decently in whose territory.

Joining in? Zhao Xuran’s first reaction was no way, "I have to take care of the kids."

Humph, like he didn’t see those shifty eyes? Who knows this kid’s planning to educate him harshly?

Why would Zhao Xuran allow getting caught by Zhao Guangran—after years of being scolded countless times?

With such a good opportunity, Zhao Guangran wouldn’t let it pass; he might even make him cry without refuge.

"Yeah, I’ll cover labor fees," Endure, naturally that’s a valid reason—caring for two kids is extraordinarily demanding.

Only by letting Zhao Xuran rest well (without finding excuses not to work) can he work hard in the investment company, earning maximum profits for the company.

With someone offering to cover labor costs, it really tempted Zhao Xuran; in the United States, labor fees are awfully expensive, enough to make one weep.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Guangran kindly offered to handle this biggest expense, so claiming he wasn’t tempted would be false.

Meanwhile, he knew Zhao Guangran greatly determined to rope him in—and if so, it absolutely couldn’t be declined; what he wanted needed to be spoken without reservation.

Watching the smiling renovation of delight Zhao Xuran, Zhao Guangran couldn’t help but shudder, just as he intended to hint since Zhao Xuran seemed reluctant, chalk it up, Zhao Xuran seized the initiative.
