Chapter 1182: Chapter 1184:
Dai Liren looked at Zhao Guangran, who was excitedly talking about the house.
Remember, this guy was really angry before, saying he would make sure to give Zhao Xuran and the others a hard time when they returned.
But now, there’s no sign of wanting to give them a hard time; instead, there’s a lot of anticipation.
Just know that when he faces Zhao Xuran, he has no calculations, "By the way, that house is still ours."
"If all goes well, we’ll get it before we leave, Guangran, you can handle the setup then."
"Of course, don’t live in the master bedroom." Zhao Xuran worried his brother would mess around in the house.
It’s not that Zhao Xuran is stingy, but the master bedroom is reserved only for him and Ni Zi, no outsiders allowed.
There’s no need for Zhao Xuran to say it; he already knows what to do, "Don’t worry, bro, I’ll work hard to earn money and buy a house."
Uh, why isn’t he saying Zhao Gang should pay? Gong Ruini was so worried before, fearing he would think Zhao Guangran is biased, but he didn’t think that way.
That’s right, earning money on his own is better than taking it from parents.
"Ni Zi, don’t worry, my dad is giving it to you as a wedding gift. I don’t even know when I’ll get married." Zhao Guangran looked bewildered.
After breaking up with Cao Na, he really couldn’t dive into a new relationship, exhausting all his passion.
He has more important matters to attend to; dating would just be a game for him.
"You have to get married." Zhao Xuran said unhappily.
"Exactly, what if your brilliant mind isn’t passed down?" Gong Ruini said regretfully.
Zhao Guangran is like that, and so is Cao Na, although they’re chatting happily now, Gong Ruini heard from Zhao Guangran that they could only be friends or confidants.
In short, there are many relationships, but none involve being a couple.
Heirs? Isn’t that challenging? "There’s surrogacy, or if someone has my child, I’ll pay."
"Problems that money can solve aren’t problems nowadays. Yes, I’ll choose a smart woman as my girlfriend."
Intelligence matters most; Zhao Guangran doesn’t want to have a dumb son who pales in comparison to his elder brothers, or if the child’s mom is a beauty without brains.
Just thinking about it gives Zhao Guangran headaches, so the best solution is finding a high IQ wife.
Or just find someone from school, they’re smart enough.
Moreover, some are both talented and beautiful, yes, this is the plan, "Bro, I’ve made up my mind, this is the way."
"Since I’m in the United States, I’ll have more kids." The family is small, so many things can’t be carried out.
As a member of the Zhao Family, he has the obligation and responsibility to contribute to the family’s population.
The pace of this is unusually fast; Gong Ruini was stunned. Initially worried he wouldn’t marry, now he’s skipping the marriage part and questioning why to get married.
Besides, he plans to have many kids; not something one usually does.
"Then you must work hard to earn money, and you’ll need someone to look after the kids." Zhao Xuran was speechless; he didn’t know how to discuss this.
He wanted to talk about marriage and kids, hoping for a stable family for his brother, as men progress with a stable family.
But this guy insists on another path; Zhao Xuran doesn’t know how to discuss it with their parents, fearing they might be disappointed.
Look after kids? Does that require his concern? "If his mom and I don’t split, she can look after them; otherwise, I’ll send them back to China."
No matter how life abroad is, no matter how developed it is, he always remembers his roots are in China.
"I don’t want my descendants to only speak English, looking Chinese but being foreign inside."
"My demands are not high; they should paint Chinese paintings, write calligraphy, speak Chinese, write Chinese, recite ancient poems fluently, and understand classical Chinese."
"Of course, they should speak the meanings; my demands are not high, just about eighty percent of what we did back then."
Hm, it was so hard when he learned it; there’s no reason his children shouldn’t experience it too.
Oh my, Gong Ruini looked at Zhao Guangran; knowing Gong Ruzhi and the others didn’t learn this much or have such high demands.
Even though Gong Ruzhi and others are praised for their knowledge, Zhao Guangran’s demands for his kids are unbelievably high, making Gong Ruini genuinely worried for his future kids.
If they learn too much, it might become problematic.
"The demands are quite high." Zhao Xuran internally felt these were things kids should learn, but now they learn a lot, and shouldn’t be pressured too much.
High demands? "What high demands? I think parents nowadays have low demands. Those who get into prestigious schools don’t have it easy; there’s a lot of pressure."
"Bro, you will study at Columbia University, and when our kids study, the chances of getting into these famous schools will be higher." Zhao Guangran thinks far ahead, as they’re from prestigious schools, their kids can’t fall behind.
Thinking really far ahead, as a single person, already planning where his future kids should attend university, showing considerable progress.
Even the early-maturing university students from China wouldn’t think this far, only considering future jobs, girlfriends, and wives, not how their future kids should be.
Zhao Xuran felt uneasy, already graduated and working, yet hadn’t thought this far, but his brother already did, leaving anyone feeling uneasy.
"Why think so much? First consider yourself."
"Be careful; dumping the child’s mother isn’t easy." Listening to Zhao Guangran makes it sound easy, but things in this world aren’t easily solved.
In this case, Zhao Guangran was confident, "Bro, you overestimate me. In the United States, there are many stronger people than me."
"If they find better opportunities, they won’t stick around me."
"Moreover, it’s normal for financial separation after marriage abroad." Zhao Guangran discussed foreign couples’ financial situations with his brother.
Such astonishment, Zhao Xuran felt various discomforts, "Do couples separate finances so clearly?"
"That’s not a couple; too distant." Zhao Xuran felt couples should be like their parents.
"Yes, that’s how it should be." Gong Ruini felt relieved; thankfully they aren’t emotionally involved, or Cao Na finding out about Zhao Guangran abroad might change her view.
Once a breakup occurs, getting back together introduces many thoughts, and a slight mishap might lead to another breakup.
Better to be friends; it’s more stable without the drama.
