Back to the 70s: My Childhood Sweetheart Spoils Me Rotten

Chapter 1117 - 1119: The Consequences of Bullying Big Sister

Gong Ruini thought the phone call she heard yesterday was just a dream.

"Was it Guang Ran calling yesterday?" Just as something happened at home, he called immediately.

Wait, how did Cao Na know, "You answered the call?"

Heaven knows how regretful Gong Ruini was at this moment. If she had known it was Zhao Guangran, she would have taken the call, even if it meant scolding him half to death.

"Is everything okay?" Gong Ruini hoped that Zhao Guangran wasn’t too arrogant.

"It’s alright." Since it was already said, Cao Na didn’t plan to hide it, "Guang Ran said if he takes you to play the stock market soon, I can join in."

No way, did Zhao Guangran actually say that? It can’t be, Gong Ruini was truly shocked.

Before, he clearly didn’t want to mention Cao Na. How come, in the blink of an eye, he agreed to take her to make money?

"Alright, if you’re willing, let us know then."

"But our money needs to go out through certain channels, and there will be some fees." Although they could transfer the money abroad.

However, there seems to be a quota. The amount they’re playing with this time isn’t small, better to not make it too obvious.

Because Zhao Gang and the others often went to the south, they certainly knew people who could help.

"I understand," Cao Na readily agreed, "Should I sell my house or get a loan?"

Cao Na is an adult now, plus everyone knows she’s an entrepreneur, so the bank is certainly willing to lend her money.

If she had to choose, a loan would be more suitable; this way, she’d have the house in hand and also the money.

But there’s a very crucial problem, "If you take a loan, will it draw attention?"

Buying a house isn’t a worry, it’s not the computer age, checking these things isn’t easy unless someone’s watching.

Gong Ruini remembers that Cao Li’s sister-in-law seems to be in the banking system.

"Don’t worry, I won’t get a loan here in Beijing. Last year, I bought a few houses in Jin City, I’ll go there when I have time to get a loan."

"Also, for the house in Shen City." Cao Na remembers that this summer, Zhao Guangran was trying out different ways to operate stocks in the United States.

Now that he’s speaking up, it means he’s fully prepared, so she can’t miss this chance.

Both in Jin City and Shen City, it seems like Cao Na has made quite a bit of money recently; otherwise, there wouldn’t be houses spread all over.

Gong Ruini’s sparkling eyes were hard for Cao Na to handle. She kept waving her hand, "I haven’t bought a house in Beijing for a long time."

"Too many people are watching here."

"Oh." Just saying that Cao Na started making money after opening a foreign language tutoring school; before that, she was just getting by with rental income.

Being able to buy a house in one or two years was already good enough; couldn’t buy in both Beijing and other places.

"Actually, Beijing housing appreciates the fastest." Cao Na was one to invest in houses early on; she watched the house prices rise, so she really didn’t care much for the appreciation speed in places like Jin City.

"That’s because you didn’t buy in the right place. When you buy a house, don’t just go for the cheap; you need to look at the area’s significance," Gong Ruini advised; she’s a good person.

Gong Ruini practically always buys houses in big cities, not because she particularly likes them, but because she knows more about them. She roughly knows which areas will appreciate quickly and hold their value.

"I know." Cao Na bought houses following Gong Ruini’s advice back then, but she always felt a bit off.

"Ni Zi, how about going with me to buy a house in Shen City?" Cao Na could only hope Gong Ruini could take her house hunting.

Buying a house in Shen City, that’s a must; if you don’t buy a house, what do you do with the money? "Unfortunately, I don’t have any money."

No money? Come on, no one’s asking you to lend money; you don’t need to plead poverty like this.

"My money is for making money elsewhere." Domestic house prices have been rising fast, but it’s easier to make money in foreign stock markets.

More importantly, after all the twists and turns, even if they can handle it, Gong Ruini is really tired of it.

Might as well make some overseas investments, so if something really happens, they’ll have a way out.

Going out to make money? It seems there’s a lot of confidence in Zhao Guangran, and rightfully so, given how much time and effort he’s invested; he wouldn’t allow for losses.

What to do, Cao Na decided to go all in, "I plan to sell all the buildings I bought in Beijing."

"Besides, I’m about to start a vocational school; without investing money, how can I get the school running?" People have been eyeing her property, calculating her assets, so let them go ahead and calculate.

Such boldness. Gong Ruini gave Cao Na a thumbs up.

Gong Ruzhi, seeing Cao Na leave, pulled in Wan Yihui, "Sis, I heard that Uncle Zhao’s real dad has been found."

"And it seems that Brother Xu Ran’s aunt doesn’t like you." Gong Ruzhi had wanted to come to see Gong Ruini yesterday, but was blocked by Cai Meina.

Especially after knowing that Cao Na came by, he’s been very displeased.

"Sis, I don’t like her."

"Yeah, I don’t like her either," Wan Yihui habitually followed everything Gong Ruzhi said.

This brat, having likes or dislikes, "Your Brother Guangran said he’d take her to play the stock market."

"Are you still dissatisfied with her?" The so-called dissatisfaction stems from how Cao Na used to only care about her own family, particularly when Zhao Guangran took a long time to recover, which led to the younger ones in the family having issues with her.

Oh, how could it be, "Impossible." Gong Ruzhi isn’t foolish; would Zhao Guangran forgive Cao Na so easily?

"Sis, if you’re going to lie, at least come up with a reason."

"Before, Guangran didn’t reconcile with her while in the country, and after going abroad, they had even less contact."

How can people who haven’t been in contact reconcile, "I know, sis, you’re trying to get her to help you, so you’re trying to ease things between her and Brother Guangran."

Gong Ruzhi thinks his sister’s approach isn’t particularly honorable, "Sis, you should know that she really put Brother Guangran in a tough spot."

Not gonna happen; he wants to get in touch with Brother Guangran and absolutely prevent his sister from unwittingly selling him out.

Argh, this infuriating mindset of a foolish brother who claims to believe in his sister.

They say men can’t be trusted, even one’s own brother’s words can’t always be taken at face value, sigh.

Gong Ruzhi doesn’t care about the resentful look in Gong Ruini’s eyes, "Sis, you know, sometimes for money, you really have no shame."

Ugh, she’s furious, when did Gong Ruini ever lack integrity?

Alright, sometimes for money, she has wronged people, but those were outsiders, right? Has she ever done wrong to her own family?

Gong Ruini declares that, starting today, she won’t provide Gong Ruzhi with any space fruit.

Giving him good food, yet he still finds a way to bully her, it’s outrageous, she’ll stop supplying fruit for half a year.

Gong Ruzhi is oblivious that his hasty words would result in such punishment; if he’d known, he’d be clinging to his sister’s leg, a tearful plea.

Unfortunately, he doesn’t know. He’s busy planning to call his brother-in-law; nobody else at home seems able to keep her in check.
