In front of Gong Ruini and the others, Wang Yuzhe performed well, but after leaving the tea room, his expression changed significantly.

Wang Yuzhe knew that for the so-called heir position, everyone was having various unpleasant disputes.

Especially after Third Uncle stepped up, Wang Yudong, the eldest son of Third Uncle, couldn’t sit still and began showing himself in various ways.

During this period, he stayed by his grandfather’s side, and whenever someone visited grandfather, he would come out to greet them.

Third Uncle also cultivated this son in every way, taking Wang Yudong with him whenever there were social gatherings or opportunities to shine. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

It’s not that Wang Yuzhe wasn’t bothered by this, but he couldn’t act. If he made a fuss, he would be the one to suffer.

Third Uncle was banking on him not daring to act out, so he steadily took over the territory.

"Disgusting person." Wang Yuzhe stopped walking and took a deep breath.

"Do they think Cai Ming and the others are easy to bully?"

"The Wei Family was taken down by them, so with just Wang Yudong’s little tricks, it’s really not enough for them to look at."

After thinking for a while, Wang Yuzhe collected his emotions. He noticed that Zhao Xuran had a hint of sowing discord in his words.

Not acknowledging the Wang Family but acknowledging him, wasn’t it just because he knew he wouldn’t let it go and would definitely make a move?

Moreover, his collaboration with Zhao Xuran and the others was a secret. If he was unlucky, these people could absolutely pretend they didn’t know anything about it.

But did he have a choice? Wang Yuzhe couldn’t help but smile bitterly. He wasn’t stupid, and although he was studying at a military academy, it didn’t mean he was unaware of anything.

At least he knew that Chu Ling was actually with Gong Ruini’s brother, even if they were just boyfriend and girlfriend, it was unclear how things would turn out in the future.

But under the Chu Family’s nose, them being together suggested the Chu Family wasn’t too opposed.

Although the Chu Family had several granddaughters, Chu Ling was the most striking flower of the third generation of the Chu Family, and everyone was speculating who would win over this flower atop the mountain.

"I never expected that the most likely outcome would be marrying a mere commoner."

Wang Yuzhe sighed, but he wasn’t going to think too much about it, even if many people wanted to marry Chu Ling, it seemed he wasn’t among them.

The gap between their families was too great, and it wasn’t something he could bridge with effort, nor would the family offer significant help.

If it were Wang Yudong pursuing Chu Ling, the family would probably give him considerable support.

Thinking of this, Wang Yuzhe couldn’t help but relax a lot. At least collaborating with Zhao Xuran and the others might really provide some support.

Even though the Chu Family might not really give him much support, at least the Wang Family’s attempts to frame him wouldn’t be an easy matter.

With this realization, Wang Yuzhe felt a lot more relaxed, even walking with ease. Having support and still being able to make a lot of money was great.

The most important thing was that the money was his alone, and he didn’t have to think about contributing any to his family or listen to the sour remarks from some family members.

"Alright, how about we go see a movie." Maybe at first, Wang Yuzhe would be unhappy, but smart people know how to choose.

See a movie? Sure, Gong Ruini had absolutely no objections to going to see a movie, "I wonder how Uncle Cao and the others’ discussion at home went today."

Although it had only been two days since the matter had blown up, someone from the Cao Family had already visited.

Including the older kids like Gong Ruini, they were all kicked out by Zhao Gang.

After all, no matter what reason anyone had for staying at home, the kids were too sneaky, and if they weren’t careful, they would overhear everything.

"Okay." Gong Ruini motioned to the kids next door, "Let’s go see a movie."

"Alright, but I’m hungry." Zhan Banxia yawned, "I don’t understand why just because Uncle Cao and the others are visiting, we all have to be chased out."

Although Zhan Banxia and the others were curious and wanted to know the gossip, they preferred hearing the tidbits spread by Gong Ruzhi rather than eavesdrop themselves.

"Exactly." Zhuge Zisu was full of discontent, "Forget it, let’s not see a movie; let’s go eat and then find a bookstore to read."

Zhuge Zisu wasn’t very interested in movies, and would rather use the time to find some interesting books.

Gong Ruini was indifferent to either browsing a bookstore or watching a movie, so she looked toward Gong Jiaming and the others.

"Let’s eat and then go read." Although Gong Jiaming wanted to see a movie, seeing everyone else wanting to go to the bookstore, he decided to go there.

"I want to buy some paintbrushes and some cheap drawing paper." Gong Jiaxin didn’t know the price of that drawing paper before and had been using Gong Ruini’s paper without concern, but now that she knew the price, she couldn’t bring herself to use it.

The prices were extraordinarily high. If her drawings were decent, Gong Jiaxin wouldn’t mind, even if they weren’t masterpieces, at least they would be presentable.

But right now, her drawings were really unsightly, so she had to use cheap paper.

Gong Ruini didn’t stop her; it was a normal thing. She herself used to ponder over a piece on the desk for a long time before starting, and sometimes a piece of paper would take ages to complete.

"I also want to buy books." One after another, they all listed the books they wanted to buy.

Luckily the house was big, because if they kept buying so many books each time, there’d be no room left.

Zhao Xuran settled the bill and was about to call the kids to go when he heard them clamoring about going to the library, which he found quite helpless.

Finally going out on a date, how were there so many third wheels? Obviously, they could have left with Gong Ruwen.

"Brother, you disagree?" Hmph, the eldest brother must be trying to get rid of them, but they couldn’t be fooled.

Of course he disagreed. Zhao Xuran’s body was screaming that he disagreed, but meeting Ban Xia’s gaze, he could only smile and say, "I have no objections."

"Anyway, you’re buying the books, and you’ll carry them home."

"Don’t expect me to help." Spending money was one thing, but he was worried that once these kids saw interesting books, they wouldn’t stop and would go on a buying spree.

Remembering last time he went shopping and had to carry books back for them, the thought alone made him shiver.

"Okay." Everyone had intended for Zhao Xuran to carry the books, but seeing his expression, they had to abandon the idea. If they really bought a lot, their brother/brother-in-law was not going to help them carry them.

"Then let’s go." Hmph, this account is on Zhao Guangran. If it weren’t for the trouble he caused, the nice date wouldn’t have turned out like this.

The more sulky Zhao Xuran’s face was, the happier Zhan Banxia and the others felt.

One by one, they surrounded Gong Ruini to keep Zhao Xuran apart, constantly asking her this and that.

Zhao Xuran watched their childish behavior and laughed. Such a bunch of kids, but since they liked it, and it was rare for them to be with Ni Zi, as a man, he shouldn’t be petty.

Gong Ruini saw through their intentions, but since it was what everyone wanted, she could only blend in with them, chatting and laughing along.

Left behind, Zhao Xuran watched Gong Ruini talking to Wan Yihui and felt like Gong Ruini was talking to a son.

"Actually, having more kids is nice." Before, Zhao Xuran thought his dad wasn’t thinking straight, saying if his brothers didn’t marry, his kids would be adopted.

But now, seeing a group surround Gong Ruini like this, it indeed seemed as lively as can be.

As for having only one child in the country, was that really a problem? Zhao Xuran thought not. Could the living really be constrained by that?
