"Dad, why are you here?"
Su Mingzhe and Su Mingyu asked in unison.
The two of them were arguing about Su Daqiang's whereabouts just now, but in a blink of an eye the old man was standing in front of them. You must know that this is the United States, not Suzhou, separated by the Pacific Ocean.
Su Daqiang did not answer the question directly, but looked around: "Oh, Mingzhe, your house is really big, even bigger than Mingyu's. Look at this grass, look at this garden... Okay, okay, great."
"Dad, aren't you in China? Why did you come to the United States?" Su Mingzhe looked impatient, and his displeasure was clearly written on his face.
"Yes, Dad, do you know how worried we were when Shi Tiandong called and said you hadn't come home for a whole day?" Su Mingyu was very angry. This old man's ability to become a monster is really improving day by day. Fortunately, nothing happened. If something happens, won't all the responsibility and infamy fall on her? Even though she had not recognized her relatives, she still had concerns about this matter.
Seeing that he couldn't hide, Su Daqiang pointed to Lin Yue standing behind him: "Mingcheng brought me here."
"Mingcheng?" Su Mingzhe couldn't understand. Su Mingcheng had never gone abroad. He went to three colleges in college and his English proficiency was only average. How could he send someone to the United States and find his place to live?
Lin Yue said: "You all boasted that you would take the old man to Haikou to live in the United States. You applied for the visa, got the passport, and had a farewell banquet. Then suddenly you said you couldn't come. Have you ever thought about how the old man felt? And then you even put your phone away Turn off the phone, what do you want him to think? Do you dislike him? The other one went on a business trip and left his biological father to a nanny and a restaurant owner. You reunited in the United States, laughing and eating and drinking. Did you ever think that the old man had no children to accompany him? How uncomfortable is it?"
He took out the photo he had taken at the entrance of the Kempinski Hotel: "Do you see, my always filial brother, this is the harm you have caused to the old man. Do you know what made me decide to bring him here? According to domestic time, the day before yesterday, his good son turned off his phone without explaining, and his good daughter left as soon as she was told to leave. I was worried about his condition and bought some snacks he liked to eat, but the nanny said she was not at home, so I called Ask him where he is? Where do you think he is? He went to the cemetery where my mother was buried. Haha, he didn't want to talk to the living people, so he went to chat with the dead. Su Mingyu, is this how you take care of the old man? "
Su Mingzhe's face was filled with guilt and he had nothing to say.
In China, Su Mingyu would definitely have retorted, even if she ignored him, she would still have fun with it, but after all, she was guarding her boss and sister-in-law, and when faced with Lin Yue's questioning, she very rationally chose to endure.
"Dad, you go into the house first and let's talk."
Wu Fei noticed that the old couple outside the house on the left were pointing at each other, not knowing what they were talking about. In order to prevent the family scandal from being publicized, she thought it would be best to say something inside the house... Although they couldn't understand it, they still couldn't understand it. It's embarrassing.
Su Mingzhe quickly took the old man inside. At this time, Lin Yue met Wu Fei's eyes and showed an intriguing smile: "Sister-in-law, I didn't disturb your rest, right?"
"without."
Wu Fei doesn't like it, and even says she hates it a lot. She always picks on Su Mingzhe and Su Mingyu. Maybe it's out of a woman's point of view. She thinks it's wrong for her parents to be partial. The eldest will go abroad after taking the exam, and the third will become a senior executive. That's because they are capable. Why should their parents help the second child just because he can't do well? Moreover, Zhao Meilan liked to praise the second child and his wife on the phone the most during her lifetime. She would also go to the second child's house to clean the house in her free time. What about her? During the confinement period, my mother-in-law made excuses not to come, but her mother submitted a sick leave application and worked hard to get less pension to take care of her daughter.
Who is Lin Yue? Basically, he can tell whether the other person appreciates him with just one look. He doesn't care about Wu Fei's attitude at all, but... he does have some "old feelings" he wants to talk about. After all, it's another world. of... ex-wife.
Several people came to the living room. Su Mingzhe had just asked Su Daqiang to sit on the sofa. Lin Yue said straight to the point: "I brought the old man to the United States this time, and I just wanted to ask him face to face. What is the problem on your side that affects your trip to the United States?" A beautiful retirement plan.”
"this……"
Su Mingzhe said: "Your sister-in-law's parents are coming too, so I plan to change the room. This one... is a bit small."
Lin Yue took a look at the layout of the villa. There was an open kitchen in the living room and dining room downstairs, and a parents' room. The area upstairs was about the same, with at least three bedrooms. Anyone who was not a fool would not think that the room was not enough.
"Is four rooms small? It's enough for both parents to move in."
Wu Fei looked at Su Mingzhe with a trace of complaint in her eyes. She couldn't find any excuse. She had to show off when she lied. It's okay now. Su Mingyu said so and Su Mingcheng said so. The key is that your biological father sent it to you. Are you embarrassed to push the old man out?
Lin Yue said: "I don't know where you live. I just remember that when you had a video call with your mother, you told me what your company does, what it's called, and how it ranks in the United States. Because your mobile phone can't get through, what's next? After the flight, I called your company to ask if you were there, but the person in charge said that you were fired a few days ago. Fortunately, the company has your information, including your home address and other records, so I pressed I found it at the address above."
Su Mingyu opened her mouth slightly when she heard that, but after a few breaths, she turned to an expression of realization. No wonder she always felt that there was something wrong with the atmosphere between Su Mingzhe and Wu Fei. A top graduate from Stanford was actually unemployed?
Su Daqiang knew about Lin Yue's phone call, but he couldn't understand what the two of them were talking about. Only now that he came to his eldest son's house did he know what they were talking about.
"Mingzhe, did you not let dad come because you were unemployed?"
The top student at Stanford University who was regarded as the pride of the Su family and the chosen one who settled in the United States lost his job.
Su Mingzhe felt that his second son had peeled off the scar on his face, exposing the blood dripping inside. It was not only painful, but also uncomfortable.
He became a little hysterical and completely lost his previous self-control.
"Yes, that's right. I lost my job and am now a stay-at-home husband. You have been explained and found the answer. Are you satisfied? Are you happy? Why don't I let dad come, because now Feifei is the only one working at home? After taking dad over, we must send Xiaomi back to the country to be taken care of by her grandparents."
Su Daqiang was frightened by his eldest son who was different from before: "Mingzhe, why didn't you talk about this on the phone? If you told me, I... I wouldn't come."
Lin Yue said: "Does he have the shame to say it? He has no shame to say it, because he is the one who needs face the most. He spent all his parents' savings to study in the United States. If he can't become a master, how can he be embarrassed to face his parents and brothers? Now he is the same person. Who in Delhi doesn’t give a thumbs up and say something awesome about Su Mingzhe? Unemployed, what an unpleasant word. If outsiders find out, his glorious image will be tarnished."
Su Mingzhe couldn't say a word, because that's what he thought.
After the initial shock, Su Mingyu came back to her senses. In her mind, regardless of whether Su Mingcheng said it or not, it must be sarcastic.
"Brother's unemployment is only temporary. No matter how bad he is, he is still much better than you."
"Yes, he is not at the end of his rope. He doesn't want a decent job, a job far away from home, or one that works overtime. Because he is a graduate of Stanford University, he has confidence. But so what? He considers himself a filial son. How are you doing?" Lin Yue took out a green notebook from his pocket: "Did you see the three words on it? Divorce certificate, Zhu Li didn't agree with me selling the house to repay the old man's money, and said that as long as I sold the house, I would get divorced. , the result, have you seen it? In order to settle the score with my son, I joined forces with my daughter to force my son to sell the house and get divorced. Did I complain? No, I saw him sad, and I paid him to come to the United States to ask why. Su Mingzhe, what about you? ?In order to please your wife and be with Xiaomi, you left your biological father to be raised by that cold-blooded, venomous and unfilial bitch. In turn, you taught me to take good care of the old man and be a filial son. Wu Fei didn't force you to do so. Do you? Divorce her. If you can give all your assets to Su Daqiang like me and give up your family, I will call you big brother."
"Su Mingcheng, who are you scolding?"
Lin Yue ignored her at all, and his eyes fell on Su Mingzhe's face.
Su Daqiang didn't expect that things would reach this point. He hunched his neck and lowered his head and muttered in a low voice: "If I had known, I wouldn't have come. If I had known, I wouldn't have come..."
Su Mingzhe became hysterical because of losing face, and suddenly withered because of Lin Yue's soul torture.
Did the second child say it wrong? He spent all his money and raised 1.8 million to give to Su Daqiang, and lost his wife, just to repay Su Daqiang's debt and make Su Daqiang happy. Now it's his turn to pay off the debt, but he chose the former between family and filial piety. In this matter, he really has no face. Show off in front of the second child.
"You bastard, Su Mingcheng, what nonsense are you talking about?" Su Mingyu raised her head slightly, squinted her eyes, and looked extremely impatient. Her tone of voice was not only hatred but also contempt: "Su Mingcheng, your money is gone. If the family breaks up, it will also disrupt the eldest brother's life, right?"
Lin Yue returned the look with contempt: "Su Mingyu, isn't this the fairness you have been pursuing? Parents' money is their private property, and their parents' love is their personal feelings. Give more to whomever you are willing to give, but Regarding the issue of filial piety, I have returned the money I spent on my family over the years with interest to the old man, and I have also spent a lot of extra time and energy. From this point of view, my expenses are higher than yours, so I ask you to follow me. Is there any problem with standing on the same starting line? The initial settlement is a financial contribution. The old man will take care of you and the boss. This is an agreement in terms of time and energy. Now there is a conflict between family and filial piety. I am happy for the old man. You can divorce your marriage, so why not when you are the boss, not to mention that he is still the elder brother and should set an example in this kind of matter."
"..."
"What? I have nothing to say? This is my eldest brother, Su Mingyu. You also attended the farewell banquet that day and saw the old man's mental breakdown. But what did you do? Not only did you not take care of him at home and comfort him, you came here instead. A business trip to the United States means that career is more important than filial piety to the old man, right? Or, do you still want to come to the boss to explore the truth? What is the reason why Su Daqiang cannot come to the United States to retire? So you think I say you are unethical? Is it wrong to be unfilial, cold-blooded, and an out-and-out bitch?"
Wu Fei stared blankly at the serious and nonsensical brother-in-law in front of her. When brothers and sisters encounter a family crisis, who is not trying to persuade them to reconcile or break up? How good he is, forcing the boss to divorce her, but the key to the problem is that the account above The calculation is very fair and there is basically no fault to be found.
From the perspective of the logical chain, the truth is correct, but truth is truth, and feelings are feelings. Family cannot just talk about logic. How can family matters and emotional matters be regarded as settling accounts?
"Sister-in-law, do you think I'm a little unkind? I calculated the family accounts so clearly? Then you're wrongly blaming me, because this boss was appointed by Su Mingyu, and the old man approved of this calculation, so as the loser, I Is it too much to say it? It’s not too much.”
Wu Fei thought of what Su Mingzhe said after returning from China. Well, Su Mingcheng was at odds with Su Mingyu. Su Mingzhe's mistake was that he should not stand by Su Mingyu, and should not coddle Su Daqiang, causing him to get burned and dragged in. In the whirlpool of this family account.
Su Mingyu said bitterly: "For people like you, divorcing you is the most correct thing Julie has done in her life. You are not worthy of a wife."
People like her, who are trapped in hatred and unable to extricate themselves, can't even listen to the advice of those who have nothing to do with it, let alone the enemies who present facts and reason.
"Haha, good men are everywhere. There is no need for a real man to have a wife. If Zhu Li is gone, there will still be Wang Li, Zhang Li, Gongsun Li, and Su Mingyu. Find a mirror and take a good look at your cursed face to see how ugly it is. "
"You are a scumbag, good-for-nothing, and a mama's boy. What kind of blind woman would fall in love with you? It's easy to say, Su Mingcheng, you're just not willing to give money to your dad, and you're causing all this trouble." The whole family is uneasy and you are forcing Dad to return the money to you and settle the account?"
"When I was young, I thought that if I studied well, my parents should like me and pamper me. If they don't like me and don't pamper me, they are partial. When I grow up, they think that I make a lot of money. I am the number one in the family. Everyone must pay attention to me. My parents also have to listen to me, and they act like they are the only ones who are arrogant. To be honest, with the little money you earn, I really don’t take it seriously. You have assets of 30 to 40 million in seven or eight years, hehe..."
"Su Mingcheng, you dare to say such things, why don't you show your virtue by peeing?"
Who is Su Mingcheng in Su Mingyu's eyes? He listens to whatever Zhao Meilan says. His academic performance has been mediocre since he was a child, and he is far behind her and her boss. The money for the wedding and the down payment for the wedding house are all paid by the family. With a salary of six to seven thousand yuan, this monthly salary is not as high as Zhu Li's. Who gave him the courage to look down on her assets of thirty to forty million yuan?
Lin Yue was neither annoyed nor bothered. He turned on the recorder on his phone and put it where everyone could see: "First, I will have a better choice than Julie. Second, within six months, I will I have more assets than you. If I do it, you will kneel in front of your mother’s grave and read a confession, and I will write the content. Do you dare to make this bet?"
Joke, this is the funniest joke in the world.
Su Mingyu thought that few people could start from scratch like her, with tens of millions of assets in seven or eight years. How could a trash like Su Mingcheng catch up with her in six months? It's impossible to sell drugs or rob a bank. Either she heard wrong, or he's crazy, or he's writing a bad check. As long as you're thick-skinned, it doesn't matter if you can't achieve it------After so many years of sales, she What kind of person have you never seen?
"And what if you don't make it?"
Don't say it's impossible to surpass her in assets, just say the first one? A better choice than Julie? In her opinion, Zhu Li was blind when she went to Su Mingcheng. Could it be that he thought women were idiots and were willing to suffer with people like him?
"If I fail to do it, then the debt of time and energy you owe to Zhao Meilan and Su Daqiang will be wiped out. Then we can sit down and discuss how to provide for the old man in his old age."
Su Mingyu thought she was sure to win.
"That's what you said."
"That's right, I said it."
Lin Yue turned off the recorder and put his cell phone away.
"Mingyu, Mingcheng... what are you doing?" Su Mingzhe saw that the relationship between the two of them was getting deeper and deeper, and his expression was helpless and irritated: "You are brothers and sisters, you... let me down so much."
"Don't be anxious if you are disappointed, because there are still many opportunities like this." Lin Yue patted his arm and said with a half-smile: "The question you have now is whether you want your biological father or your wife."
Yes, that's the key.
Wu Fei looked at Su Mingzhe with a gloomy and forced look.
This gave Lin Yue a very familiar feeling. In the TV series "I am Yu Huanshui", during the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15th, Gan Hong had this look when he filed for divorce with Yu Huanshui on a bench in the community.
"I...I'm not staying in the United States anymore. I...I'll go back to China and come back when Mingzhe finds a job." Su Daqiang is very good at being a monster, but now it concerns Su Mingzhe's family...the second child's home was demolished by him, and the eldest brother If he gets divorced again, if word spreads, he will be stabbed in the spine by his neighbors and scolded for cheating his son. Therefore, for the sake of reputation and face, let’s talk about coming to the United States for retirement later.
"Dad..." Su Mingzhe was very ashamed. At first, he had boasted about bringing Su Daqiang to Haikou for his retirement, but now it was empty talk.
"I've delivered the person, and the problem has been solved. What to do is your business." Lin Yue walked outside without looking back. When he passed by the corridor, he saw Xiaomi standing at the corner of the stairs, blinking a pair of big shoes. Eyes looking down curiously, he paused and smiled at her.
"Mingcheng, Mingcheng, wait for me."
The old man shouted and chased.
"Why are you following me? You go find Su Mingyu. She is your responsible person, and she lives in a five-star hotel with first-class facilities and services. I sleep in a motel with poor conditions. You can tell me the address later. I’ll send you your luggage.”
Su Daqiang thought that he was right. A five-star hotel was much more comfortable than a motel, but he was afraid that Su Mingyu would make him lose face, so he was a little hesitant.
"Dad, Mingcheng, you can live here, the room is enough."
"I like to be free. Even if I live poorly, I won't accept living under the same roof with annoying people."
"Both each other." Su Mingyu said coldly.
Lin Yue ignored her, opened the door and walked out, leaving Su Daqiang in a dilemma.
"Dad." Su Mingzhe walked over and pulled him back to the living room: "Dad, you can't go anywhere today. You are staying here at your son's house. You have come to Los Angeles and you are still staying in a hotel. If you tell me, others will think I don't care about you. "
As soon as Lin Yue left, his aura of being a dutiful son came back to him.
Wu Fei glared at him, said nothing, excused herself to take Xiaomi upstairs to sleep, and left.
When Su Mingyu saw what Su Mingzhe said, she was happy that someone would take over this evil old man. She took off her windbreaker from the hanger and picked up her handbag: "Brother, I'll leave it to you. I'm going back to the hotel. If you need anything, call me. "
"Hey, Mingyu..."
As soon as he started talking, the person on the other side had already opened the door and walked out.
"This Mingyu!"
Now that the matter has come to this, what else can Su Mingzhe do? He asked Su Daqiang to say: "Dad, you must be tired from flying. I will clean up the house first, and then put the water on for you. Let's take a hot bath and have a comfortable sleep at night." You will feel much better the next day. For people of your age, jet lag cannot be reversed by just sleeping."
"Mingzhe, it's better for you to be filial."
The old man glanced at the entrance to the corridor and nodded in agreement.
Twenty minutes later.
A shit-yellow taxi with a huge ugly billboard was driving on the Golden Gate Bridge. Su Mingyu looked away from the distance and remembered the bet with Su Mingcheng. She couldn't help but smile scornfully, thinking that it was the clown's ravings.
Is it possible to surpass her in half a year?
Ding ding dong~
The Saint Laurent handbag vibrates slightly.
She unzipped her phone and took out her phone. It was her assistant Xiaoxin calling.
I pressed the connect button and put it to my ear. Before I could ask anything, I heard a depressed and anxious voice from the other side: "Mr. Ming, something big has happened."
