Chapter 1077: Chapter 1079: Relieving Stress with Coffee

Cai Meina is quiet, just going to work and coming home every day, occasionally listening to gossip around school.

Ever since she devoted herself to absorbing new knowledge, she’s even more indifferent to these things.

Some people say her response is because she’s rich and looks down on others.

It seems they purposely said this for Cai Meina to hear, but she just laughed it off, having no intention to explain.

"I do look down on them, so what." Cai Meina found that being a bit capricious once in a while really improved her mood.

"Have they ever thought about what they do and say that would make me respect them?"

"I even admire myself for putting up with them for this long."

With a relaxed face, Cai Meina said, "Let’s not talk about them, thinking of them puts me in a bad mood. It’s better to read more books than to let them affect my mood."

Indeed, it’s progress, Gong Ruini looked pleased, knowing that in the past, her mother would feel bad hearing such evaluations. Teasing like this now showed progress. "What about you?" After all, he’s graduating soon, Aunt Cai also quit her job, Zhao Xuran really worries about Ni Zi’s situation at school, wondering if she would be bullied.

Luo Zijun, that guy, always jumps up and down on things. Will she betray people if something is slightly off with our wife?

"Luo Zijun isn’t a problem. As long as I keep reading foreign books and preparing materials for going abroad, would she target me?"

"Just by existing, I dominate the law school’s first place in the grade. When I leave, she still can’t be first; she doesn’t know who will take the spotlight. Do you think she’s that stupid?"

Luo Zijun’s the type to always scheme; she would never do something that foolish.

"She would only focus on Gao Jing and her group, especially Gao Jing." Gong Ruini has a fairly good relationship with her, but really can’t see through her.

Although she says her parents are ordinary workers, her demeanor and upbringing don’t feel like they’re from an ordinary family.

But so what, it doesn’t really concern her; if they get along, they do, if not, there’s no loss.

"I still feel Gao Jing has a big chance of staying in Beijing." Although she didn’t want to mention Gao Jing, Gong Ruini felt only Zhao Xuran could analyze these things with her.

Gao Jing? Zhao Xuran recalled, "That quiet person?"

"Quiet?" Gong Ruini thought for a moment, "Hmm, she is pretty quiet. Anyway, she’s really quiet in the dorm."

"Of course, everyone else is also quite quiet, spending more time reading." Gong Ruini is thankful her dorm is a place that encourages progress.

The neighboring dorms are quite noisy when everyone returns, and of course, there are many who love gossip, causing conflicts countless times over these trivial matters.

"If it’s her, staying in Beijing should not be a problem." Zhao Xuran remembered a scene he saw last time.

If he guessed correctly, Gao Jing likely has a promising future, "Don’t get too close to Gao Jing, maintaining the current distance is ideal."

Worried his wife might be driven by curiosity to explore Gao Jing.

Not getting too close to Gao Jing suggests there’s an issue, otherwise, Zhao Xuran wouldn’t be worried about this; does Gao Jing have a problem?

"Some influential figure’s descendant?" But Gong Ruini quickly dismissed it; she really hadn’t heard of any upper echelon people surnamed Gao.

"Could her parents be children that some influential figure left behind, only recently reunited?" During turbulent times, many children from the upper echelons were casually given away.

"How would I know? I’m just going along with what you said, suggesting she’s quite mysterious, so just pay a little attention." Even Zhao Xuran himself didn’t know much and couldn’t tell Gong Ruini.

In case his wife acted overly, it might not be good.

Is it really like that? Deep down, Gong Ruini is skeptical, but since Zhao Xuran says so, it means he doesn’t want to continue this topic.

Even if puzzled, Gong Ruini won’t delve deeply; there are many people in the world out to trick her, but Zhao Xuran definitely wouldn’t.

Can’t figure it out, so don’t think about it; Gong Ruini is very easygoing, choosing not to think too much, and grabbing an English book to read.

These aren’t just things brought back by Zhao Gang when he went on business trips to Yangcheng, but also packages Zhao Guangran mailed every now and then, truly being a great help to Gong Ruini.

Lately, her written language ability has improved greatly, giving her the ability to crack and understand the content of these cryptic articles as she reads so earnestly.

"Ni Zi, are you busy?" Cao Na gently knocked on the study room’s glass door, then peeked her head in after waiting a moment.

Even knowing these two workaholics do nothing but read or discuss matters in the room, without inappropriate behavior, Cao Na has formed a habit of knocking first.

"Come on in, there’s some freshly brewed coffee." Ever since Zhao Guangran went to the United States, there’s never been a shortage of coffee and such.

Though coffee is available in foreign trade stores, Gong Ruini prefers buying coffee beans to slowly process and brew coffee; every time she brews it, the aroma leaves her delighted. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

"I’d love some, definitely." Smelling the pleasant aroma from afar, how could Cao Na miss it?

"We have an extra coffee machine at home, you can take one back and enjoy it yourself." Zhao Xuran abruptly remarked.

He always suspected that perhaps Cao Na loved the coffee here, often coming over not realizing it interrupts a couple.

Both usually do their own things separately, yet the feeling is different from handling matters alone.

With the extra presence of Cao Na, while still lively, it felt a bit of a bustle for him.

"I won’t, I don’t have the knack for it." Cao Na would rather occasionally come here to mooch off some coffee.

"If I take the coffee machine home, how would I have a reason to visit Ni Zi?"

C’mon, too much, Zhao Xuran wished he could drive Cao Na out, never expecting her to be so shameless.

Probably sensing Zhao Xuran’s thoughts, "I shouldn’t bring back anything nice; otherwise, my mom would always enter my room under the pretense of cleaning to snoop through my stuff."

With a serene expression, Cao Na said, "She even takes my clothes and such."

"If she sees a coffee machine, my mom would definitely take it to my sister, encouraging her to invite friends over." Cao Na almost said how shameless her sister can be.

"Last time, the soybean milk maker you gave me, I took it home, and my mom saw it and thought it’s good, saying how my nephew needs it."

Gosh, no way, "Wasn’t it meant for your grandpa?" Gong Ruini couldn’t believe Cao Li turned out to be so greedy.

"Even with this, she still pretends to be poor." Cao Na was speechless, "By the way, doesn’t she know I’m not running an English tutoring class? She actually wants me to teach a few kids for free."

Thinking about it made Cao Na break down, drinking coffee and chatting with Gong Ruini a lot, for if there’s no one to vent to, she really worried she might snap.
