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

Chapter 1155 - 1157

As Cai Meina packed her luggage, she felt an overwhelming reluctance to leave.

"Ni Zi, can you manage taking Xiao Hui and Xiao Zhi with you?" Cai Meina regretted her hectic schedule.

If only she wasn’t so busy, she could have gone to the United States with them.

"When you see your aunt, tell her I will be there when she gives birth." No matter how busy she was then, she’d fly to the United States.

"Got it, got it." Gong Ruini thought for a moment; expecting Cai Meina, someone who has never gone abroad, to suddenly go to the United States on her own, how could she not panic?

Even if recently, Cai Meina had been diligently studying English, the results were questionable, to say the least.

"Mom, why don’t you go to the United States with my uncle and Brother Xu Ran?" Gong Ruini considered it repeatedly; she would only be at ease if someone accompanied her.

Even if there was someone to see her off at the airport, how would she manage customs in the United States?

Even someone like Gong Ruini, who had traveled abroad in her past life, felt anxious about going abroad for the first time in this life, let alone Cai Meina.

Going abroad with Zhao Xuran? Cai Meina would obviously welcome it. Though she might have put on a brave face, of course, she was scared.

What if she was stopped by someone over there, and she wouldn’t know how to communicate?

With Zhao Xuran accompanying her, everything would be so reassuring, but... "Isn’t he busy?"

He had business dealings with his former boss, and his own ventures to manage, suddenly heading to the United States meant being away for days, what would happen then?

"Although they are the cousins and nephews of your third aunt, they’re still different from us. How can we not keep an eye on them?" This was something Cai Meina could only discuss with Gong Ruini.

She would never bring it up in front of Gong Tao and the others.

"Mom, if they intend to manage on their own, we won’t hold back." While they gave a lot of profits and benefits to the Miao Family, it was still a bit off compared to the profits they earned.

Spending at least nine months each year staying in the Northeast, claiming not to be lonely would be a lie.

Ah, letting go, handing over the business to them? Cai Meina disapprovingly rolled her eyes at Gong Ruini.

Cai Meina couldn’t help but think her daughter was overly extravagant, didn’t she know in these times, once someone had a profitable business, they would never let go?

If it were her daughter, why was she so generous?

"Did you consult with Xu Ran about this?" Previously, Cai Mei Na appreciated her daughter making her own decisions.

But now, with her daughter having a boyfriend, if she acted overly assertively, how would Zhao Xuran feel?

Zhao Xuran was not someone without his own opinions; this made Cai Meina worry about their future.

Now, even though Zhao Xuran liked Gong Ruini, he didn’t see these issues, but when the passion wanes, this would become her daughter’s major flaw.

Is this really her own mother? Why did she have such little trust in her, was she not capable of making decisions for herself?

"Aunt Cai, Ni Zi already talked to me." Zhao Xuran originally thought of leaving space for the mother and daughter as they chatted.

He didn’t expect the conversation to involve him, although Gong Ruini was handling it quite well at the moment.

If Cai Meina persisted, Zhao Xuran worried his wife might lose her temper.

"Oh, she talked to you?" Cai Meina was astonished. She was initially startled by Zhao Xuran’s sudden appearance, but she focused on what Zhao Xuran was saying.

"This business is quite profitable." Cai Meina tried to persuade Zhao Xuran to change his mind.

Of course, business was profitable, "For us, having another profitable venture isn’t difficult; we just seized an early opportunity."

If they hadn’t kept the possibility in mind after hearing someone mention it and then gone all in, would it have been their turn to seize such a share?

"Actually, this could be seen as us giving the Miao Family an opportunity, but it’s also the Miao Family helping us make money." If the Miao Family had their own ambitions, Zhao Xuran thought it was quite understandable.

"Aunt Cai, initially, we just put in a bit of money, took them on a trip around the Northeast, introduced them to a Russian language teacher, after which we made no additional investments." Right now, based on the investment and the return rate, Zhao Xuran was already very satisfied.

With that explanation, Cai Meina fell silent.

"Mom, if they decide to pursue this on their own, even third aunt wouldn’t have the face to ask again."

Gong Ruini had already planned out that if the Miao Family continued this partnership, and future profitable opportunities arose, of course, they would continue collaborating.

But if the Miao Family wanted to be independent, they would pass this market to them, and how far they could go would depend on their development.

Seeing that Gong Ruini and the others shared this mindset, even though Cai Meina still felt a bit reluctant, she prudently kept quiet.

Cai Meina always remembered the words her husband and brother told her: that Gong Ruini and the others wouldn’t wrong her.

Since they wouldn’t wrong her, why should she fret so much?

"Mom, this time, Brother Xu Ran isn’t just going to the United States to take you there."

"He can have a good discussion with Guang Ran, and if there’s a suitable opportunity to earn money, they can go for it."

Despite making phone calls several times a week, and writing letters constantly, being separated by such a great distance meant they couldn’t miss such a good opportunity for a face-to-face meeting.

Ha, when did I mention going to the United States, Zhao Xuran was startled by the implication that Gong Ruini had let slip.

The idea of going to the United States wasn’t even on his radar.

He kept watching Gong Ruini, even if he did want to visit the United States to see if making money was as easy as Guang Ran had claimed.

But going abroad wasn’t something easy; it wasn’t just a matter of wanting to go; there were at least many unresolved tasks.

"When in the United States, we can strive to make big money." Knowing that Zhao Guangran was a promising child, he hadn’t expected him to progress so quickly.

It’s been only two years since going to the United States. If not concerned about appearing too high-profile, they would have considered buying an apartment directly in a bustling area of New York.

Gong Ruini was stunned, knowing that this was Zhao Guangran using his share of funds.

"Why don’t we take more money this time when we head over, so I can help Zhao Guangran?" Gong Ruini spoke although she was truly a bit anxious.

Perhaps before, she wasn’t much different from Zhao Guangran, but one was in the domestic landscape while the other was abroad. And learning subjects outside economics and finance, how could she assist?

Gong Ruini couldn’t possibly suggest using all their money to invest in stocks she knew would profit in the future; that would terrify everyone.

"No, for this trip, I am considering using the money to buy a house." Zhao Xuran felt the funds shouldn’t all be invested in the stock market.

Ah, buying a house there, who would live in it, especially if they might not even stay in New York when they study in the United States later?

Moreover, tying up money in real estate for a couple of years might mean missing out on potential earnings.

Gong Ruini wanted to persuade Zhao Xuran to abandon this idea, but seeing his serious demeanor, she couldn’t bring herself to say not to buy a house.
