Back to the 70s: My Childhood Sweetheart Spoils Me Rotten
Chapter 1047 - 1049: Can’t Go Home
Call the Wang Family? No way, once that call is made, Cao Li can already predict the outcome.
The Wang Family doesn’t have influence in Beijing, but they do hold dirt on her.
If they send this material up the chain, her reputation, her job, will all be gone.
She might even have to go for re-education. Cao Li really regrets it; she wonders how she could have done such a stupid thing back then.
If she hadn’t done that stupid thing, she should be living happily in various ways.
"Not calling, is that an issue?" Zhao Xuran obviously doesn’t want the Wang Family to know either.
But if they don’t bluff a bit, will Cao Li tell the truth?
Cao Li took a deep breath, just about to speak, but seeing Cai Guoqing there, she closed her mouth again.
Humph, don’t want to talk? Zhao Xuran wants to let the self-righteous Cao Li fall, but letting Cai Guoqing know will only cause more trouble.
Why did he stop talking? Cai Guoqing is the kind who bullies at home, and he also knows how explosive the news Cao Li might share could be.
If he learns a little, he can threaten Cao Li and see if the woman will give him money.
"You, go out." Cao Bin isn’t stupid, he knows his daughter would host the Cai Family people for some benefits.
Actually, Cao Bin comforted himself, thinking maybe his daughter wants to ease relations with Zhao Gang and the others.
But he never thought the truth would be this way, and this truth really stunned Cao Bin.
Cai Guoqing didn’t pay any attention to Cao Bin.
Cao Bin, in anger, wanted to make a move, but seeing Cai Guoqing’s physique, he didn’t dare, afraid this guy might play tricks.
The best way was to change the setting; Cao Bin signaled Cao Li with a gaze.
Cao Li sighed and walked out, Gong Ruini followed suit.
Cai Guoqing didn’t want to leave, but was blocked by Cao Bin.
The helpless Cai Guoqing knew even if he followed, it would be impossible to casually get any news.
"Wang Yudong said he did it to thoroughly embarrass you all because you retreated from Yangcheng back then, leaving him humiliated." Cao Li explains why the Wang Family made their move.
Just like that? Cai Ming stared at Cao Li, "Seems necessary to have a word with Wang Yudong."
"I haven’t finished; I’m helping because Wang Yudong promised me a portion of the benefits once things succeed." Cao Li hurriedly added.
Gong Ruini yawned; is this woman’s brain waterlogged? What’s going on now, she just can’t see through it.
"Speak the truth, or just call the Wang Family, or what’s the point of beating around the bush?"
"Although the Wang Family is still the Wang Family, they have long been unsure how much they’ve declined; can Wang Yudong, that good-for-nothing, be so capable?"
Gong Ruini’s leisurely appearance made Cao Li envious; she was clearly just a girl from the Northeast who came to Beijing, yet unexpectedly crawled above her one day.
"Actually, Wang Yudong wants Gong Mingrui to peek at your plans so once he knows, he can make early maneuvers."
"This time, it’s about purely creating internal chaos for Cai Ming and the others."
"Knowing you will certainly guard against it and definitely won’t expose your secrets." Since they can’t know the plan, let’s spark family chaos.
"Good plan." Cai Ming was surprised the Wang Family would change their action plan, "But you don’t know I have no fondness for the Cai Family."
"Even if they come to Beijing, I won’t care."
"All right, I’m leaving now. I’ll entrust my parents to you." Cai Ming naturally wouldn’t stay here.
Leaving just like that? Cao Li, in a moment of excitement, wondered if she could send Cai Guoqing and the others off.
Is he thinking he’d take them away, won’t he actually? "I’ll leave my dad and the others to you."
"I think some people need a bit of a lesson, or they’d think I’m easy to bully."
"Ah, but they are your parents." No way, to just leave them like that? Wasn’t Cai Ming supposed to be polite and appreciative?
"Parents?" Thinking of what Cai Zhiheng did back then, Cai Ming took a deep breath, "Some people are parents, some are destined to be someone’s parents."
"All right, it’s up to you how to arrange them."
"Don’t even think about letting them out; some things don’t allow you to repeat offenses time and again."
"I think you understand what I mean." Cai Ming turned to look at Cao Li.
Cao Li was pinned by Cai Ming’s gaze, nodding unconsciously.
"Your parents care about you, my parents care about my brother." Cai Ming waved his hand and left.
Cai Zhiheng received news from Cai Guoqing’s words and hurried over.
Although Cai Guoqing’s words were so unclear, everyone understood what needed to be known.
Cai Zhiheng was stunned, never expected his son’s and daughter’s actions.
The old man truly didn’t believe how they could disregard them.
The old man dashed over, only to hear Cai Ming had already gone, "How did he leave?"
"And, and..." Cai Zhiheng thought for ages but couldn’t remember Gong Ruini’s name.
"Who else." Cao Li truly had no good demeanor with Cai Zhiheng, but what’s the point of venting at an elderly?
"It’s my granddaughter." Cai Zhiheng thought for long before giving up trying to recall Gong Ruini’s name.
Hahaha, that’s what comes with being a grandpa, surprisingly can’t remember the child’s name.
Such a grandpa, you can’t expect Gong Ruini and others to hold much respect for him.
"Gong Ruini, you as a grandpa actually don’t know her name." Cao Li said crossly.
"Oh, but why did they leave like that." Cai Zhiheng didn’t bother remembering these, anyway that lass was always rude, why bother remembering her name.
Cai Zhiheng, nonchalant, made Cao Li wish to mock him; disdainful of the lass, she’s way better than his so-called Cai root’s two grandsons.
Those two good-for-nothings aren’t even qualified to carry Gong Ruini’s shoes in this lifetime.
Cao Li sometimes is really curious, how such an impressive Cai Ming could have such shortsighted parents and a brother.
Cai Zhiheng was eager to pack and head to meet Cai Ming.
His ability to return indicated he was just bluffing; he wouldn’t divorce.
Humph, he knew once a woman marries, those premarital documents are useless, without face she’d lose out publicly.
Cai Guoqing was utterly nervous, he wasn’t stupid, he endured Cao Li earlier because he wanted to exploit them for benefits.
And now, lacking any possibility of gaining benefits from them, would she continue enduring them?
That’s impossible, Cai Guoqing worried about the next steps.
Enjoying such good days for a few days, genuinely unwilling to return to past life.
What to do, Cai Guoqing fretted, going back home, that wasn’t an option.
When their whole family set off to Beijing, it was a public proclamation.
If they return like this, especially shamefully, they’ll lose all face and dignity.
Thankfully having his own dad, Cai Guoqing didn’t bother listening to Cai Zhiheng’s analysis; as far as he’s concerned, understanding the final result suffices, everything else is just fluff.
