Su Mingcheng was undoubtedly the most excited tonight. After all, his years of searching finally came to fruition. He called his elder brother Su Mingzhe in the United States on the spot, "Brother, I found our dad."
"What? Where is our dad now?" Su Mingzhe on the other side of the phone was equally excited.
"Brother, my dad is at my house right now, right by my side." Su Mingcheng still felt a little unreal as he spoke, and he actually started touching Suning directly.
"What kind of disease do you have?" Suning pushed Su Mingcheng's hand away with a look of disgust.
"hey-hey......"
Seeing Su Mingcheng having fun while talking on the phone, Suning realized that he needed to resolve the Su family's affairs as soon as possible, otherwise he would harm others and himself.
"Mingcheng, was that our dad just now? Let him answer the phone quickly." Su Mingzhe on the other end of the phone probably heard what was going on here, and then asked with excitement.
"Okay! Brother, please wait a moment." Su Mingcheng put away the phone and looked at Suning expectantly, "Dad, my brother wants to talk to you on the phone."
"Well, just press speakerphone." Suning kept fiddling with his cell phone because his three women were about to explode.
If they asked why the situation suddenly exploded, it was because Suning had never spent the night outside. They all guessed that Suning had another woman outside. Then Cai Min and Liu Qingqing fought with Suning as a united front.
"Dad, is that you?" Su Mingzhe's voice on the other end of the phone trembled with excitement.
"Well, Mingzhe, it's me."
"Dad, we finally found you." Maybe Su Mingzhe felt that it was too hard to command Su Mingcheng and Su Mingyu to find someone remotely, so he couldn't help crying, "Uh-huh..."
"Ahem! Have you cried enough?" Listening to Su Mingzhe crying on the phone for a long time, Suning was also upset and angry from crying.
"Ah? Dad..."
"Su Mingzhe, if you have time in the United States, go back to China as soon as possible and we will explain the matter clearly as soon as possible."
"Ah? Dad, do you still want to leave?" Su Mingzhe on the other end of the phone looked incredulous.
"We'll talk it over when you come back. Remember to inform Su Mingyu and let's sit down and have a good talk as a family."
"Okay! Dad, I will inform Mingyu."
"Well, let's do that!" Suning said and hung up the phone.
Su Mingzhe on the other side of the ocean was holding the phone and listening to the busy tone on the phone. He felt bad all over. He didn't wake up until Wu Fei came to his side.
"Mingzhe, haven't you found our dad? Why are you still so unhappy?"
"Hey! Our dad still has to leave, and he asked me to go back as soon as possible."
"Ah? What on earth does our father think?" Wu Fei also felt incredible.
"Hey! Being over sixty years old doesn't make people worry at all." Su Mingzhe said his famous saying again.
"Mingzhe, when are you going to go back?"
"I'll buy a plane ticket now and go back tomorrow and the day after."
"Mingzhe, if you leave a few days later, I'll take a leave and go back with you." After hearing Su Mingzhe's plan, Wu Fei took the initiative and asked.
"Okay! Let Xiaomi meet her grandpa too."
In Suzhou, Su Mingcheng looked at Suning in disbelief, "Dad, are you still wandering?"
"Su Mingcheng, I'm living a good life outside, you don't need to worry about me."
"Dad, you are already sixty-two today. You are no longer a child. You should consider the issue of retirement." Su Mingcheng looked at Suning with a wry smile.
"I said, you don't need to think about it."
"Dad, my eldest brother has proposed to buy you a new house in Suzhou and hire a nanny for you. No one will disturb your life."
"Mingcheng, just live your own life, I don't need you to buy a house."
"Dad, if you don't want to live in the new house, then just go back to the old house. We will renovate it for you and make it very comfortable to live in." Su Mingcheng thought that Suning didn't like the new house, so he suggested again.
"Su Mingcheng, when your mother and I divorced, we left the house, so the old house belongs to you three siblings and has nothing to do with me."
"dad......"
"Okay! I'm sleepy! Let's talk about this matter when Su Mingzhe and Su Mingyu come back." Suning was really annoyed at this time, so she got up and went back to the second bedroom to rest.
Seeing Suning go back to the bedroom, Su Mingcheng and Zhu Li were very helpless. They felt that their father, whom they had not seen for ten years, suddenly became a much stranger.
"Mingcheng, I just washed your dad's clothes and found that they are all famous brands, even the socks are from Armani." At this time, Su Mingcheng and Zhu Li returned to the master bedroom and were lying on the bed. Zhu Li looked surprised.
Looking at Su Mingcheng, "Also! I found that the mechanical watch your dad is wearing is a Patek Philippe. I checked online just now and found out that this Patek Philippe ref. 6300A is worth 16 million."
"Hey! Isn't this obviously a high imitation? My dad will have 16 million to buy a handmade mechanical watch?"
"But what about that designer clothes?"
"What brand is it?"
"I don't know! Anyway, they are all top clothing brands. I only know a pair of Armani socks."
"Julie, the material of the clothes must be slightly better. It may not be a big international brand. Besides, how can a pair of Armani socks be so expensive?" Su Mingcheng looked at Julie with a wry smile. He wouldn't believe it even to death.
Suning would become rich overnight, "Besides, do you know what my dad was eating when I met him at the noodle shop?"
"What to eat?"
"Su Jiao Noodles? It's the cheapest Su Jiao Noodles! At that time, he wouldn't even let go of the soup. Is this something a rich man is willing to eat?"
"Ah? Are those clothes really fake?"
"Juli, an old man in his fifties, divorced his wife, and suddenly became rich overnight. Do you think this is credible?" Seeing the disbelief on Zhu Li's face, Su Mingcheng asked with a wry smile, "
This is a real society, not a fantasy world in a novel or a movie legend."
"This... is not necessarily true!" Although she knew that this was too fantasy, Zhu Li still did not think that she had recognized the wrong brand, and then retorted to Su Mingcheng, "Aren't Zong Qinghou and Ren Zhengfei both in their forties?
How old was he when he started his own business? How can he become a top boss in the mainland business world?"
"Zong Qinghou? Ren Zhengfei? There are 1.4 billion people in the country, aren't these two the tops of the tower?" Su Mingcheng was almost overjoyed by Zhu Li's whimsical ideas when he heard the super celebrities mentioned by Zhu Li.
"I know why you have this idea. It's because you have never seen the cowardice my father was controlled by my mother before. It's really hard to explain in words."
"Huh? Did I really see it wrong?" At this time, Julie also began to feel unconfident.
"Julie, there are some high-imitation products that are not much different from real international brands. At most, they don't have the reputation of international brands."
After hearing Su Mingcheng's analysis, Zhu Li once again doubted herself, and then she stopped thinking about it and covered herself with a quilt and fell asleep.
"Julie, I'm very happy today, let's have a little meeting!" Su Mingcheng's interest suddenly peaked.
"Ah? It's not good!" Julie was also a little excited.
"Hey, it's rare that I'm happy for once, just obey me, Zhu Li!" Su Mingcheng looked at Zhu Li with a wicked smile.
"..."
At this time, Suning had just laid down to rest in the next room. Suning was in contact with his family. He easily heard the "meeting content" between Su Mingcheng and Zhu Li in the next room. Suddenly, he felt that life was worse than death. This was really real for Suning.
It's too painful.
...
The next day, Su Mingcheng and Zhu Li both felt refreshed. They saw Suning sitting on the sofa in the living room playing with her mobile phone. Then Su Mingcheng and Zhu Li looked at each other in surprise, "Dad, what are you doing?"
Don’t you want to sleep a little longer?”
"As I get older, my sleep quality is average."
"Haha, then I'll make breakfast now." Julie said with a somewhat embarrassed smile.
"No need! I know you young people don't like breakfast, so just go to work! I'll just go out and have something to eat later."
"Dad, how can that be done? I'd better stay with you today." Su Mingcheng insisted.
"No! Don't worry, I won't leave. I will explain the matter clearly to you three brothers and sisters before I leave." Suning knew what Su Mingcheng was worried about, and assured them.
"dad......"
"Go! Go to your class! Don't let me lose your job."
"Dad, then I will take a day off today and go shopping with you to buy clothes." Su Mingcheng still insisted.
"What Mingcheng said makes sense, just ask him to stay with you for the day." Zhu Li wanted to call her dad at first, but thinking of Suning's indifference last night, Zhu Li didn't call out in the end.
Soon Zhu Li went directly to work. Su Mingcheng called his work to ask for leave, and then accompanied Suning on the street. The father and son first went to a breakfast shop to eat fried pancakes, and then went straight to the commercial street to give Suning
Buy clothes.
"Dad, how about I take you to the Armani store? The quality of the clothes there is better." Su Mingcheng thought of Julie's struggle last night, and suddenly started to inquire.
"Well, just ordinary clothes. I'm used to wearing ordinary clothes and they feel quite comfortable." Suning didn't know what Su Mingcheng was thinking and directly rejected Su Mingcheng's proposal.
"Ah? Dad, the clothes you changed into last night were famous brands, right?"
"No! I bought it in a high imitation store. How about I take you to pick out a few pieces?" Suning quickly calmed down and looked at Su Mingcheng meaningfully.
"Haha, forget it! Just buy it at the commercial street nearby."
Then Suning and Su Mingcheng went to a nearby commercial street and bought two sets of old man's clothes. They changed out of Su Mingcheng's clothes and put them in a bag.
"Dad, it's almost noon, let's go have dinner?"
"Okay! I'm a little hungry too."
Then Suning and Su Mingcheng came to a noodle shop, but Su Mingcheng looked at Suning with a confused look, "Dad, how about we go to a better restaurant?"
"No! That's good! I'm used to eating noodles too."
"Eh? Okay!"
Suning and Su Mingcheng casually ordered two bowls of noodles and two vegetarian dishes. They just started eating. Looking at their father, Suning, who was devouring the food, Su Mingcheng suddenly felt very uncomfortable.
"Dad, please slow down! How about I order you another bowl?"
"No! One bowl is enough."
At this time, an old man walked towards the two men who were eating noodles. When he saw Suning, he showed a surprised expression, "Su Daqiang? It's really you!"
"Who are you?" Suning looked up in confusion.
"Uncle Nie?" Su Mingcheng recognized the old man, and then reminded Suning with a smile, "Dad, he is Uncle Nie from the library, a former colleague of yours!"
"Oh? It's been too long, I forgot." Suning responded casually and continued to eat noodles.
"Oh! Lao Su, it seems that you are such a noble person and forget things so much! You don't even recognize your old colleagues."
"Uncle Nie, my dad has been away from Suzhou for more than ten years. He must not recognize many of his old friends. Don't mind it!"
"Haha, it's okay! I won't mind." Lao Nie smiled nonchalantly at Su Mingcheng, and then looked at Suning who was eating noodles again, "Lao Su, let's find a chance to call out all our former colleagues.
Let’s sit down and chat together.”
"Not interested."
"Huh?" Lao Nie was also choked by Suning and couldn't bear it.
"Uncle Nie, my dad's temper is like this." Su Mingcheng was always there to ease the awkwardness of the scene.
"Haha, this is my phone number. If you are suddenly interested, Lao Su, just call me." Lao Nie seemed to have a good temper, or he might have been used to the old Su Daqiang. Instead of getting angry, he took out his phone.
He took out a pen and wrote his phone number on the shopping slip.
"Uncle Nie, goodbye." Su Mingcheng quickly stood up to see old Nie off.
"Haha, you can eat! I'm leaving first."
After Lao Nie left the noodle shop, Su Mingcheng looked at Suning with a wry smile, "Dad, didn't you play the best with Uncle Nie before?"
"I no longer want my own children. Is it necessary for me to keep in touch with my old colleagues?"
"Uh? Dad, what do you think? We are all your children!" Su Mingcheng looked at his father, Suning, with a wry smile.
"Su Mingcheng, you have all grown up and have your own families. There is no need to keep entangled with me." Suning raised his head and looked at his filial "son".
"Dad, how can this be called entanglement? You are our father, we should provide for you in your old age!"
"Su Mingcheng, I have my own life, and you all have your own lives. I don't need your support at all." Suning suddenly looked at Su Mingcheng seriously.
"dad......"
"Besides, when your mother and I divorced, we made it very clear that we would have no relationship in the future."
"Dad, can't you understand how we feel as children?" Su Mingcheng looked at his heartless father with a wry smile.
"Su Mingcheng, isn't your eldest brother living a good life in the United States?" Looking at Su Mingcheng who still didn't understand what he meant, Suning was not ready to let them continue to hide their lies, "It's not ten years ago now, in the United States
Unemployment has become a common occurrence, and there are many people who go to Chinese restaurants to wash dishes without a job."
"Let's talk about you again. On the surface, you have a stable job, but your consumption is also very high. Your wife, Zhu Li, is wearing famous brands. If your mother hadn't been secretly supporting you, you and Zhu Li would have been unable to live together, right?
"
"I......"
"Su Mingyu has been doing very well in recent years, but it's not as easy for a girl to fight alone as you think, so you'd better face reality."
"dad......"
"Su Mingcheng, I don't need your support at all. You just need to live your own little life."
