Gong Ruini rushed ho on her bike with her backpack after school, busy with all sorts of things.
Although she still lived in the dorm, if she didn’t have classes the next day, Gong Ruini would definitely stay at ho.
Actually, Luo Zijun has been trying to cozy up to Gong Ruini this vacation.
Cozying up is cozying up, and she’s not the only one trying; one more person doesn’t matter,
but Luo Zijun wanted Gong Ruini to introduce her to a part-ti job, claiming it was to reduce her family’s financial burden after she left for overseas studies.
These words made Gong Ruini feel all sorts of annoyance, as if not helping her find a job would be incredibly unfair.
Not wanting to argue with Luo Zijun, Gong Ruini found all sorts of excuses to stay ho.
Staying at ho is great—more space, and she could read as late as she wanted without worrying about lights out.
Once inside her space, she didn’t have to be so cautious; every night when Gong Ruini entered her space, she had to be careful not to be discovered.
Ever since the weather got hot, Gong Ruini didn’t dare enter her space in the dormitory—there’s simply no way to disguise such a space.
Why is there a car parked at the doorstep? Gong Ruini was quite displeased.
On this street, people either inherited money, or houses were given to officials.
You could say the people living around here were either wealthy or influential; Gong Ruini worried soone might’ve sent a gift to her house.
The kind of gift you drop off, say a couple of words, and then retreat.
Gong Ruini didn’t expect to get much from them, just hoped their manners would be better, not grumbling at her door just for sending things by mistake.
Grumbling’s one thing, but claiming they’ve been ripped off?
Our family hasn’t really faced such troubles, but neighboring families have, and it was quite the disagreent.
"Hello, who are you looking for?" Gong Ruini stopped her bike, watching the people in the car gesturing toward the house’s entrance.
Gesturing is one thing, but with faces full of calculation—it was truly gross to Gong Ruini.
If it weren’t for their drastically different appearances to Gong Qiang and Gong Zheng’s families, she’d think they were causing more commotion.
"Is this Zhao Gang’s house?" A woman in her thirties with a surly face replied.
Zhao Gang’s house? Uh, they should be looking for Zhao Gang—there’s only one Zhao Gang in this alley.
"What business do you have with him?" Partner? Impossible.
If Zhao Gang were really collaborating with such a character, he wouldn’t have let it pass without jesting at dinner.
"Who are you from his family?"
"Go get an adult from your house."
Really? This manner—Gong Ruini couldn’t understand how soone as big as a pig could have zero grace.
"Who are you?"
"You tell to call them, I just do it?" Gong Ruini was annoyed.
"Whose child are you?"
"I’m your dad’s sister," Zhao Rui said proudly.
My dad’s sister? Nothing about her seed like Gong family genes, and those two aunts couldn’t have suddenly beco so plump after a few years.
Also, all they talked about was Zhao Gang. Wait a minute, Gong Ruini suddenly rembered Zhao Xuran ntioning Zhao Gang’s family; apparently, his grandfather married a second wife who had more children.
"Sorry, I’m not Zhao Family’s child." Since they were Zhao Family’s heartless mbers and their attitude was so arrogant, Gong Ruini didn’t care about them.
Not Zhao Family’s child, Zhao Rui was montarily surprised, then suddenly recognized her.
Looking disdainfully at Gong Ruini, "You’re the one clinging to my nephew, Gong Ruini."
"I tell you, our ho isn’t for households like yours."
"Take a good look at yourself, see who you are."
That expression could not have been more disdainful.
Gong Ruini was shocked, looked down upon? "Sorry, all I know is that Uncle Zhao’s mother passed away long ago, and his father severed ties ages ago."
Gong Ruini wasn’t worried that saying this would make Zhao Gang furious.
Zhao Gang never ntioned his father, not because he missed him, but because he considered him a stranger.
He wouldn’t even stick up for his true father, let alone this supposed half-sibling.
"How can he be like this." Zhao Rui knew this well; when Zhao Gang first sought help from the old man in the city, she watched as her mom drove him away.
Thinking about it made Zhao Rui angry; he was just a rural boy back then; how co he was so lucky?
To the point of being wealthy, owning multiple courtyard houses in Beijing and running companies.
Gong Ruini shrugged, pushing her bike inside, indifferent to Zhao Rui’s potential tantrum.
So people think they’re important, let her hold on to that belief; too bad it’s not the dead of winter, or she could freeze her to ice.
Gao Dalin handed Gong Ruini a letter when she ca inside, "Who’s outside?"
"Says she’s Uncle Zhao’s sister." Gong Ruini then realized sothing was amiss; why didn’t Gao Dalin go out to check? It was quite unusual.
Since it was Zhao Gang’s sister, Gao Dalin understood why Zhao Gang instructed not to let them in.
"Mr. Zhao said to leave them outside and ignore them," Gao Dalin explained why he hadn’t gone out.
Zhao Gang’s instruction? Seems like Zhao Gang saw them.
But then from what Zhao Xuran ntioned, it’s been ages since they contacted each other; how did he recognize them right away?
Could it be they resemble Zhao Gang’s father? Or has Zhao Gang been keeping tabs on them?
The more Gong Ruini thought, the more plausible this seed.
"Then don’t let them in, otherwise they’ll really think they’re special." If they recognized her at a glance, it showed they knew her thoroughly.
But they hardly showed her any courtesy, their attitude was unpleasant; would they show courtesy to Gao Dalin?
Not likely, so let them slowly suffer outside.
Gong Ruini now wanted to inform Zhao Xuran; she thought it was only hearsay when it ca up recently, who’d expect to et them so soon.
No matter how she thought, Zhao Gang’s siblings’ arrival would surely stir things up at ho.
Thinking about it made her shiver; entertaining as it might be, Gong Ruini didn’t want to share space with them.
It’s truly the kind of situation that would make anyone lose their appetite; Gong Ruini halted her steps towards the courtyard, opting instead to report the matter to Gong Tao.
Judging by their attitude, Gong Ruini reckoned they looked down on her family, insisting on clinging to Zhao Xuran.
