Free Web NovelChapter 1165: Chapter 1167
Gong Ruini rubbed her head, unsure if it was jet lag or because she slept too much, as she unsteadily made her way downstairs.
She planned to make breakfast and then go for a run.
Earlier, she saw from the upstairs window that some neighbors were running in one direction wearing sportswear.
Gong Ruini had heard from Wan Qiweng that there was a manmade lake in this community, surrounded by a running track, which attracts a lot of runners every morning and evening.
Gong Ruini wanted to run every day; as for going out to have fun, she didn’t think it would happen.
The three people at home are going to be busy with data every day, Gong Ruini was worried that if she went out to have fun, their meals would become an issue.
As for Gong Jiaxin, although she comes home every day, she’s very busy and eats out, just wanting to rest when she’s home.
And Wan Qiweng, with her big belly, is just strolling around near New York.
Thinking it over, there really was nowhere to go. Without a driver’s license, she couldn’t travel far, and that made Gong Ruini feel quite sad.
Gong Ruini was actually considering something: should she get a driver’s license? She can’t just sit here stupidly because she’s in the United States.
Zhao Guangran yawned, having worked all night; even though he was young, it was a bit much for him, but his mood was charged with excitement.
He really hadn’t expected the person who reached out to him to be so impressive.
Just as he was about to grab something to eat and go back to rest, he saw Gong Ruini and lost interest in bread. "Ni Zi, make breakfast."
How rude, she rolled her eyes at him; couldn’t he see she wasn’t feeling great either?
"I haven’t slept yet," Zhao Guangran said helplessly, truly exhausted.
All night without sleep? He knew he had found a good helper and was excited, but there was no need to be so excited that he lost sleep.
"Staying up late isn’t good for your health. Money is nice, but it isn’t better than health," Gong Ruini muttered as she made breakfast for Zhao Guangran.
Listening to her nagging, Zhao Guangran felt it was a long-missed act of love; since coming to the United States, people had only seen his good grades and skills in trading, never considering his efforts.
"Ni Zi, I know staying up late is harmful, but I have to work hard."
"I used to think I was working hard enough until I saw the people around me." Although Zhao Guangran hadn’t attended college in his home country, he was very familiar with the universities there.
His parents’ college days, his brother’s college days, had all left an impression on him.
"I used to think my parents were studying very seriously and diligently in college, and although my big brother eased up a bit, I think they should be more diligent than the students here."
Zhao Guangran drank the milk Gong Ruini poured for him. He wasn’t used to it; he preferred coffee, but under her watchful eyes, he really couldn’t bring himself to pour the milk away and drink coffee instead.
"It’s said libraries get busy during exams, but at Harvard, they’re crowded even during regular times, and seats become scarce during finals." Zhao Guangran suddenly remembered Harvard’s traditional events and couldn’t help but smile.
People do those things under pressure, "Ni Zi, I need to work even harder than them."
"I’m especially grateful to my uncle; without learning martial arts from him as a kid, I don’t know if I could have held on." Zhao Guangran looked genuinely relieved.
"And I have to thank you, Ni Zi. Without your reminder, I really would’ve lost a lot this time." He finally waited until it was just the two of them to earnestly express his gratitude.
Huh, what reminder? Gong Ruini was puzzled; wasn’t it Brother Zhao Xuran who informed him?
"My brother told me it was you who dreamed that something happened to me." Seeing Gong Ruini’s clueless face, he wondered if his big brother had put the favor on Gong Ruini instead?
But there was no need for that—they had always had a good relationship.
"I heard you were going to trade in futures, so I was really worried." Gong Ruini thought for a moment, "Mainly your brother was worried about you."
"My brother wouldn’t worry about me; he’d just think about how to repay the debt if things went wrong." Despite calling his big brother when things happened, there weren’t any comforting words over the phone.
Yet, just hearing his big brother’s strong rebukes, Zhao Guangran felt tranquility in the moment; being able to hear relentless scolding was such a blessing.
"Anyway, whoever it was, I have to thank her. Without the warning, I don’t know what I would have done." Reflecting on the mistake if it had been committed, Zhao Guangran was at a loss for solutions.
Yet, apart from solving everything at once, he didn’t know what to do, as the debts were enormous, and the whole family would have to liquidate all their assets to cover it.
Would Zhao Guangran want his family to do this? Even if they were willing, he couldn’t bear it.
The parents had sacrificed so much, and so had his big brother, even the twins.
Seeing the weary Zhao Guangran startled Gong Ruini; even with a night of no rest, his vitality shouldn’t have been that sapped.
Could it be that what she imagined happened in the past life, where Zhao Guangran vanished because he didn’t want his debt to drag the Zhao Family down, and took responsibility on his own?
Though it seemed cowardly to Gong Ruini, for someone as proud as Zhao Guangran to do that, it must have been extreme despair.
The question was, in the previous life, Zhao Guangran wouldn’t have gone abroad so early, why had the same trap appeared in both lives?
Gong Ruini was puzzled. If, in the past life, someone acted because they coveted the Shiyu Hall’s brand, then what was the situation in this life?
If it was truly because Zhao Guangran’s excellence blocked many paths, would someone act so viciously?
Gong Ruini suspiciously looked at Zhao Guangran, feeling it had to be his problem.
The pressure in Gong Ruini’s gaze left him helpless, "I know who it is, but I don’t understand why they would act."
"You’re too outstanding."
Outstanding? "Are there not enough new entrants to the stock market?"
"I’m not even a top student at Harvard. I get scholarships, but they’re only mid-level."
"If I went in with ten thousand and earned a few million, that might be too flashy, but I barely made anything."
Even if Zhao Guangran boasted about his abilities often, these circumstances still seemed insignificant.
"There are people earning who-knows-how-much annually, my earnings are really a trifle." Zhao Guangran said quietly.
"So you just wanted to get into futures markets then." fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm
Zhao Guangran took a deep breath and nodded, "Yeah, maybe I’m a bit greedy."
"If it weren’t for my greed, things wouldn’t be like this." Zhao Guangran was full of regret.
"And don’t tell my brother and them about this." Zhao Guangran looked up at Gong Ruini.
Wasn’t it already mentioned to Zhao Xuran? Now reminding her about this seemed a bit late, Gong Ruini didn’t understand. freёwebnovel.com
"Yeah, I already told my brother." Zhao Guangran awkwardly smiled, "I’ve been under a lot of pressure lately."
