Su Mingcheng slowly walked out of the detention center. The sunlight above his head was quite dazzling, and a ball of warmth had already poured into his arms.
Wang Gang and Su Mingyu stood behind, watching the young couple hugging each other, with smiles on their faces.
"Mingcheng, you should be a good person when you come out this time, and don't act out of emotion in the future." Wang Gang walked up to Su Mingcheng and Zhu Li and said seriously.
Su Mingcheng let go of Zhu Li and said gratefully to Wang Gang: "Thank you, brother. If it weren't for you this time, I don't know how long I would have stayed in there."
Wang Gang smiled and said: "I am not the only person you have to thank. My little sister has worked hard for you this time."
Su Mingcheng looked at Su Mingyu who was not far away, then let go of his wife, walked over, and said to Su Mingyu: "Little sister, thank you, my second brother will remember this love forever."
Su Mingyu's expression was slightly unnatural. They had called her by her first name for so many years. This was the first time Su Mingcheng called her little sister.
Wang Gang knew that Su Mingyu was still a bit embarrassed, so he came over with a laugh, hugged the two of them, and said: "We are all brothers and sisters. We have broken bones and connected tendons. If something happens, no one will just sit idly by and ignore it."
Su Mingyu and Su Mingcheng looked at each other, and the barrier between them was much reduced.
Zhu Li was also very happy when she saw the three brothers and sisters of the Su family leaning together.
Wang Gang booked a hotel to welcome Su Mingcheng. He couldn't eat well or sleep well there and needed to take a rest.
At the dinner table, Su Mingcheng devoured his food like a hungry ghost reincarnated. Even a plate of fried vegetables turned into delicacies.
Zhu Li felt so distressed that she didn't even bother to eat, and kept serving Su Mingcheng.
After almost eating and drinking, Wang just said:
"Mingcheng, what are your plans for coming out this time?"
"I don't know either. The house is sold and my job is gone. I really don't know what I can do." Su Mingcheng couldn't help crying as he spoke.
This prison sentence made Su Mingcheng reflect a lot. Looking back on the past, he discovered that everything he had done since graduating from college was arranged by his mother.
The job, the house, the car, and the wedding were all organized by Zhao Meilan, and none of them were achieved through his own efforts. This is why Su Mingyu always said that he was a spoiled child and a baby boy.
Wang Gang sighed and said: "Mingcheng, our mother has arranged the first half of your life for you, but now that your mother is gone, you have to rely on yourself to decide how to go in the future. We are brothers, but we can't help you forever."
Su Mingcheng lowered his head in shame and said, "Brother, I understand, you have already helped me a lot, and I have no shame in asking you for help anymore."
Wang Gang shook his head and said: "I didn't mean that. It's natural for brothers to help each other, but it doesn't mean you don't need to work hard.
You relied too much on your mother in the first half of your life, which led to you not working hard, getting by at work, and never developing. You need to reflect on the reasons."
Hearing this, Zhu Li held Su Mingcheng's hand and said, "Brother, after so many things happened, Mingcheng has realized his mistakes. I believe he will change his ways in the future."
Wang Gang nodded, but actually he didn't say something in his heart.
The reason why Su Mingcheng has been mediocre until now is not only because he is too comfortable and does not want to make progress, but also because Zhao Meilan is adding fuel to the fire.
Zhao Meilan decided a long time ago that the only person who could support him in his old age was Su Mingcheng. The reason was very simple.
Among the three children, Su Mingcheng is the least promising.
It's funny to say that many people think that the person who can provide for them when they get old must be the most promising child.
In fact, this is a paradox.
Because the more promising a child is, the more independent his character is, he will not rely on his parents, and he has strong autonomy. Even if he lives together, he may not be able to get along with the elderly.
In addition, the more successful you are, the busier you are at work and you have less time to spend with the elderly.
On the contrary, the more unpromising a child is, the more support he needs from his parents. In this way, a bond is formed between parents and children. Parents support their children financially, and children rely on their parents emotionally.
Zhao Meilan is a very smart person, or a very selfish person.
She had long seen that Wang Gang and Su Mingyu were too independent and not suitable for old age, so she wanted to keep Su Mingcheng close to them.
Su Mingcheng's college entrance examination scores were very good, but Zhao Meilan did not let him go to school in the north. Instead, he chose a school in Shanghai near home.
After graduation, Zhao Meilan even spent money to send him to a large company in Su City. It seemed that he was helping Su Mingcheng, but it also killed his fighting spirit.
Zhao Meilan has been doting on Su Mingcheng, using Wang Gang's money to support her second son. The essential purpose is to cultivate Su Mingcheng's dependence and never be able to do without her.
It's not that Wang Gang is evil, but that of the three children, Zhao Meilan doesn't treat anyone like Su Mingcheng, which is far more than parents' love for their children.
Take Wang Gang himself as an example. Zhao Meilan was very kind to him, but she never thought of keeping him by her side. She wanted to study abroad, sell iron, and even sell houses.
Not to mention Su Mingyu, Zhao Meilan has always regarded her as an outsider, always feeling that after Su Mingyu gets married, she will become someone else's family.
Only Su Mingcheng is different.
However, Wang Gang would not tell Su Mingcheng these words. As for Su Mingyu, with her intelligence, she might have already guessed it.
"Mingcheng, since you don't have a job right now, why not follow Mingyu first? She is currently helping me deal with the matter of investing in Zhongcheng. You can learn a lot from following her," Wang Gang suggested.
"Am I following my little sister?" Su Mingcheng looked at Su Mingyu unnaturally.
Although he was very grateful to Su Mingyu for helping him regardless of past grudges, working under her and his pride as a grown man made Su Mingcheng unable to lose face.
Zhu Li said happily: "Mingcheng, Mingyu is currently handling a project worth more than one billion. If you can participate, this will be a capital and will be very helpful for finding a job in the future."
Wang Gang also advised: "And this project is still mine after all. You and my little sister are actually helping me."
Su Mingcheng hesitated.
Su Mingyu, who had been silent until now, now said: "I have to manage Zhongcheng's sales department recently, and I have to keep an eye on the audit company, so I'm a little busy."
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Zhu Li added with understanding: "Mingyu is looking for my company to do audits. If Mingcheng takes care of this, we can see each other often in the company."
Su Mingcheng was moved.
Wang Gang added fuel to the fire and said: "Mingcheng, actually that's all I can help you with. After all, I haven't returned to China recently and have few connections. I'll have to rely on your own efforts in the future."
"Since eldest brother has trusted me, I will no longer be pretentious. I will work hard and never let you down." Su Mingcheng held up the wine glass and vowed.
Everyone laughed.
After the work matter is settled, the next step is the issue of housing.
"Your house has been sold, but the Su family's old residence is still there. Mingyu and I have discussed that the four rooms in the old house are enough for you and Zhu Li." Wang Gang said:
"If you think your old house is old, you can sell it and use it as a down payment to buy a new house."
"How can that work? The Su family's old house also has a share of the eldest brother and the younger sister." Su Mingcheng said hurriedly.
Wang Gang and Su Mingyu looked at each other, both pleased.
"The fact that you think so means that your suffering is not in vain." Wang Gang smiled and said, "Mingyu and I have given up the inheritance of the old house and given it all to you."
Su Mingcheng said to Su Mingyu in surprise: "Little sister, do you also agree to give me the entire old house?"
Su Mingyu nodded and said: "Yes, but I have a condition. I can give you my old house, but you have to live with your father."
Su Mingcheng was a little reluctant after hearing this.
"Mingcheng, you should know that half of the old house belongs to dad, and the other half is shared equally by the three brothers and sisters." Wang Gang explained:
"Since you own all of Dad's house, you have the obligation to take him with you. But don't worry, you don't have to pay for the nanny to take care of Dad."
Zhu Li kicked Su Mingcheng under the table to remind him to agree quickly.
The old house has four rooms, and the area is not small. With the location in the city, if it is sold, it can fetch a lot of money. Not to mention the down payment for a new house, even the full payment is enough.
Correspondingly, getting a house and taking care of the elderly is very reasonable and you can't go wrong.
What's more, this time is different from before. Su Mingcheng had choices before, but now he has no choices.
"Brother, taking care of dad is what we should do." Zhu Li pressed Su Mingcheng's hand and expressed her stance.
Wang Gang said to Su Mingcheng: "Mingcheng, I know you are still blaming Dad, but after all, he is the father who gave birth to us, and he was punished even for all his mistakes.
He now has Alzheimer's disease and is not doing very well."
Su Mingcheng was surprised and said: "What's wrong with him?"
Su Mingyu said with a gloomy face: "Dad's memory is getting worse and worse. Sometimes he can't even recognize people. Moreover, we have consulted experts. Old people with this disease rarely survive ten years."
Su Mingcheng was shocked. He didn't expect Su Daqiang's illness to be so serious!
