February 2019.
New Year's Eve.
The moon and stars were sparse in the sky, and not a single cloud could be seen.
The old houses in the old town are brightly lit, and even the most frugal people will turn on the lights in their yards to celebrate the most important festival of the year and to bring good luck.
In modern communities with tall buildings, there is also a New Year atmosphere. The property management company hangs red lanterns everywhere and distributes Spring Festival couplets to each unit building. Potted plants and lanterns are also indispensable items that can set off the atmosphere. Effect.
In short, one of the issues when comparing the quality of real estate services is which community has the most New Year flavor.
That night, hotels of all sizes were packed with people. There were big bags with more people and more money, and dine-in with less people and less money.
Unlike before, the Su family spent the Spring Festival at home. It was not that they had no money to go to a hotel. Su Mingyu could still afford the money. It was not that she was afraid of being recognized by outsiders. After all, Su Daqiang and she were both Internet celebrities. One of them screwed up his son, and the other ruined the Zhongcheng Group. The main reason was that this meal was destined to be uneventful, and it would be easier to end the fight at home.
Yes, Su Mingzhe came back to celebrate the festival happily, but she had the intention of settling accounts with Su Mingcheng.
"Dad, eldest brother said there was something delayed on the way, and it will take half an hour to get home."
Su Daqiang patted his body with his hands, got up from the sofa, walked around the coat rack, and then went into his room. When he came out empty-handed, he muttered, "Where is it? Where is it?"
"Dad, what are you looking for?"
Su Mingyu suppressed her impatience and said that in the past month, she had been tortured by the old man and went crazy. You must know that this was while hiring a caregiver to help.
"I'm looking for the coat you just bought for me. Mingzhe is taking me to the United States. We can't embarrass the Chinese people."
I was fine just now, but now I'm sick again.
Su Mingyu was speechless.
"Dad, that was all last year."
"Last year? No, you lied to me. You just didn't want me to go to the United States. You couldn't see me well."
"Su Daqiang!" Su Mingyu gritted her teeth in anger, thinking to herself, is it better for your children not to see you or for you not to be able to see your children?
"Tell me this again."
Zhongcheng Group fell apart and Lao Meng went overseas. She was already feeling depressed. Now that the nurse went home to celebrate the New Year, she was left alone to guard Su Daqiang. When she thought about meeting Su Mingcheng soon, she couldn't help but feel irritable. Of course I won't look good on him.
"Zhao Meilan, Zhao Meilan..." Su Daqiang pointed at her and said: "You are not dead, you... don't come over, I didn't mean it, it wasn't..."
He kept shrinking into the corner, holding on to the garment steamer left by the previous tenant to strengthen his courage, trembling like an old rabbit.
Su Mingyu wanted to run to the balcony and yell to vent for a while, but she was worried about shocking the neighbors and thinking her a crazy woman.
She simply turned on the TV to watch the Spring Festival Gala, which she had never watched before.
Dong Dong Dong~
There was a knock on the door outside.
Su Daqiang's bent waist suddenly straightened: "Mingzhe is back."
As if a savior had arrived, before Su Mingyu could move, he ran over and opened the door.
Click~
A face appeared on the opposite side.
The joy on Su Daqiang's face froze for an instant, and he ran back with a cry, seemingly forgetting what Su Mingyu had just done to him. It wasn't until he got closer to his daughter that he gained some sense of security. He looked at the man walking in from the door and said, "Who are you? "
"I am...Hei Wuchang who came to take you to the underworld."
Lin Yue was wearing a black windbreaker, with the cold air of winter lingering around his body, and he walked in from the dark corridor, which indeed seemed a bit cold and evil.
Su Mingyu said: "Su Mingcheng, is there something wrong with you? The New Year scare made dad sick. Are you going to the hospital to take care of him?"
"Oh, you also know that today is the Chinese New Year."
He took off the scarf that Julie insisted on wearing around his neck before going out and put it on the coat rack. He walked to the single sofa and sat down. He looked at the six dishes placed on the coffee table and sneered.
A plate of crystal meat, a plate of vinegared peanuts, a plate of pork belly with pickled vegetables, a plate of beef with soy sauce, half a bowl of canned fruit, and a salted duck.
This is the New Year's Eve dinner prepared by Su Mingyu. The only hot dishes in it are pre-made dishes bought in the supermarket - the kind that can be heated in the microwave and served to the table.
Su Mingyu said nothing.
"They say it's easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it's hard to go from luxury to frugality. Mr. Ming can do it. He's used to having big meals in five-star hotels, but he can still accommodate the needs of ordinary people."
"Su Mingcheng, have you said enough?"
She finally couldn't help but choked back.
Su Daqiang, who was sitting next to him with his head hanging down, was suddenly stunned when he heard this: "I remember, you are Mingcheng, Mingcheng, my son."
"I can't afford it."
Lin Yue replied nonchalantly, picked up a peanut and threw it into his mouth.
"Where is the boss?"
Su Mingyu replied coldly: "On the way."
Speaking of Su Mingzhe, Su Daqiang started to make trouble again: "Where is my coat? Mingyu, where did you throw my coat?"
"Dad, eldest brother is not here to take you to the United States. He is here to celebrate the New Year at home."
"Oh, it's Chinese New Year. Mingyu hasn't been home for the Chinese New Year for two consecutive years. Mom, why don't you call Mingyu's classmate and ask her where she went."
Lin Yue smiled: "Look, he still cares about you."
The muscles near Su Mingyu's ears twitched, but she didn't retort.
Dong Dong Dong~
There was another knock on the door.
She glanced at her watch, stood up, walked over and opened the door.
This time it's true, the boss is back.
"Mingyu, happy new year."
Su Mingzhe was very happy and handed over two gift boxes while talking.
The box on the left contains seafood, and the box on the right contains dry goods. Judging from the packaging picture, there are chicken, erinaceous mushrooms and honey.
"Brother, why are you so polite?"
"It's Chinese New Year, shouldn't I buy some supplements for dad? Unfortunately, I came back too late and many stores were closed, so I just bought some. By the way, where's dad?"
Su Mingyu took the things and pointed to the living room.
Su Mingzhe saw the two people sitting opposite each other on the sofa at a glance: "Mingcheng, you are here."
Just as Lin Yue was about to answer, a female voice came from the door, and his expression suddenly became very strange.
"Xiao Mi, call me aunt."
"aunt."
Along with the little girl, Wu Fei's face appeared.
"Ha...sister-in-law." Su Mingyu was so surprised that she forgot to say hello to the child.
She really didn't expect Wu Fei to follow her. This must be the "surprise" the boss mentioned on the phone.
"Mingyu, long time no see."
Wu Fei smiled and replied, but when she walked into the living room with Xiaomi and glanced at the man on the sofa, her expression changed, but the amplitude was normal. She should have been mentally prepared for the scene before her.
Bang~
Su Mingyu closed the door, looked at Wu Fei, and then at Su Mingzhe.
"Brother, you and sister-in-law..."
She didn't say the next words, but it didn't prevent everyone from understanding the meaning of this sentence.
"Oh." Su Mingzhe said, "Your sister-in-law and I are planning to remarry. We will go get the certificate after the Chinese New Year."
Lin Yue twitched the corner of his mouth a few times, and couldn't help but stretched out his little finger to pick out his ears. What do you think this is? Judging from Su Mingzhe's appearance, she had absolutely no knowledge of his relationship with Wu Fei. It was understandable that he would go home happily for the New Year, but Wu Fei...shouldn't Wu Fei...should fly as far away as possible and not touch the people and things of the Su family? Why did you agree to remarry Su Mingzhe?
"Hehe, hehe..."
Su Mingyu thought it was no wonder. No wonder he was uncharacteristically happy on the phone. It turned out that he was happy in love and shopping.
"Congratulations, brother."
Su Mingzhe smiled at her, then came to Su Daqiang and said, "Dad, Feifei and I are back."
"Oh, Julie."
Su Daqiang stood up slowly, looked at Wu Fei and said, "Julie, is your dad okay?"
"Dad, she is Feifei." The smile on Su Mingzhe's face faded, and he was worried about Su Daqiang's situation.
"Feifei?"
"Dad, it's me." Wu Fei said, "Your eldest daughter-in-law."
"The one in America?"
"Yes, the one in America."
"Oh, when will the baby be born? I have to make preparations with your mother in advance."
Su Mingyu shook her head: "I'm confused again."
Su Mingzhe said: "Has Dad always been like this?"
"More or less, good times and bad times."
"well."
He sighed heavily.
"Su Mingzhe, you are really filial. He has tricked you into this, and you are still worried about his life and death." It was Lin Yue who spoke.
"Mingcheng, you can't say that. No matter what, he is still our father. The blood and flesh and blood relationship is thicker than water and will never stop."
"Okay, just pretend I didn't say anything."
Lin Yue curled his lips. People like Su Mingzhe are a good example of someone who heals his scars and forgets the pain. When he is in trouble, he may curse God. When things get better, he will be full of the Holy Mother's heart. He will be positive and sunny in everything he looks at. He will be optimistic about everything on the road of life. Choose to forgive despite all the hardships and difficulties.
If he had known better, he wouldn't have found a job for this guy.
Su Mingzhe said: "By the way, I have to thank you for the house. If it weren't for you... I really don't know how to face Feifei's parents."
Lin Yue looked at Wu Fei and laughed and said, "Don't be so polite. As the saying goes, brothers who fight tigers must fight together as father and son."
Su Mingzhe and Su Mingyu didn't hear anything interesting about what they said, and they just felt that it was an inappropriate choice of words in this matter. However, Wu Fei knew the meaning of "beating the tiger" better than anyone else, so she gave him a vicious look and said, I'm taking off my down jacket.
"Wait, it's about the house..." Su Mingyu didn't understand what they were talking about.
Su Mingzhe said: "Mingcheng's help is coming back to Nanshan Lishe's house."
"Are you coming back?"
"Yes, Mingcheng found the jade shop owner who cheated our dad. Don't you know about this?"
"..."
Su Mingyu looked at Lin Yue and remembered what Meng Zhiyuan told her. If he was really the culprit who brought down Zhongcheng, it would not be difficult to get back Nanshan Lishe's house.
The three of them were talking about the house here, and Su Daqiang suddenly shouted: "The house is my house."
Su Mingyu said: "Where is your house? Your house has been taken away by the creditor."
Su Daqiang's eyes moved around, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Mingyu, let me make two hot dishes."
Wu Fei saw that there were only some cold dishes on the coffee table, so she suggested cooking, but Lin Yue knew very well that she just wanted to stay away from him.
Su Mingzhe also found that the New Year's Eve dinner was too simple.
"I told you to book a table at a hotel, but you insisted on eating at home. I also said that eating at home was a good atmosphere, so I shouldn't have listened to you."
Well, the house is back, a job is found, and Su Mingzhe is rich again.
"Brother..."
Of course, Su Mingyu couldn't say that arranging the New Year's Eve dinner at home was convenient for settling accounts with Su Mingcheng. She was speechless about her boss's pickiness.
"Oh, it's all brother's fault."
Su Mingzhe looked ashamed because he felt that he had not considered the situation of Zhongcheng Group well. It had been several months since Su Mingyu was fired for sleeping with Meng Zhiyuan. In other words, she had been unemployed for half a year. Why? Maybe you can afford to eat in a big hotel.
Lin Yue looked strange: "Boss, I think there is something you don't know yet?"
"What's up?"
"Su Mingyu found your previous job at LK for you."
These words stunned Su Mingzhe and Wu Fei.
"Did Mingyu find it?"
Su Mingzhe looked at Su Mingyu and found that the third child did not deny it, but his face was a little ugly.
He thought that the second child's words had hurt her heart.
"Mingyu, um... don't worry, my eldest brother will definitely introduce you to a good job when he returns to the United States after the Chinese New Year."
Wu Fei is not like Su Mingzhe. She thinks more. Judging from the original agreement between Su Mingcheng, Su Mingyu, and Su Mingzhe, Su Mingyu most likely has no good intentions in finding a job for Su Mingcheng. After all, Su Mingzhe is unemployed. Someone who was able to support the elderly later joined lk and was assigned to Shanghai. What happened next?
If Su Mingyu hadn't found him this job, would he have caused such a series of troubles?
"Brother, no need."
Su Mingyu didn't know how Su Mingcheng knew about this, but what was certain was that the second child was mocking her, and only Su Mingzhe, a stubborn guy, couldn't turn around.
After Lin Yue teased the two people, he turned to look at Wu Fei.
"Sister-in-law, I'm curious, how did you change your mind? If it's because of the house, then you will have to offer me a few more glasses of wine."
These words... are quite inappropriate to say from my uncle's mouth.
However, Su Mingzhe said: "Mingcheng is right, Feifei, we have to thank Mingcheng properly. If he hadn't found the owner of the jade shop, the house would not have been returned to us."
Wu Fei's expression is difficult to describe in words, but in short...it's quite interesting.
Lin Yue picked up Xiao Mi who was forking the canned fruit, put a pitted hawthorn into her mouth, and looked at Wu Fei with a half-smile.
Now that things have happened, he can more or less get a taste of it.
One of the reasons why Wu Fei wanted to remarry Su Mingzhe was to take revenge on him. You know, he had threatened her with a short video and said that he would often go to the United States to see her in the future. Did he say it was to see her? Is it as simple as just looking at her?
Stay away? The house is there. Su Mingzhe is Xiaomi's father. Her parents live in Shanghai. Where can she hide? As long as he plays bad, she will be the canary in the cage, so it is better to remarry Su Mingzhe. In this way, can he still be arrogant? Unless he no longer recognizes the Su family, he will have to call her sister-in-law respectfully and calmly be a brother-in-law who can only look at her but not touch her.
"Feifei, please say something."
Su Mingzhe looked at him helplessly, Wu Fei could only force a smile and nodded in agreement.
In fact, the biggest reason why she agreed to remarry Su Mingzhe was her mother. Last time she came back to Suzhou for an appointment with Su Mingcheng, her second elder took care of her little one. Her mother took the little one to play in the square in front of the building in the morning, and some talkative women were pointing behind her. , said some unpleasant words, the old lady was thin-skinned, and the more she thought about it, the angrier she became, and the more she thought about it, the more uncomfortable she became. After returning upstairs, she felt a heart attack. When the old man saw that the situation was not good, he quickly called an ambulance to take him to the hospital. Fortunately, it was discovered early and the condition was stabilized. If there was no one at home, or if he collapsed outside, it is hard to say whether the person would survive.
Taking advantage of this incident, her father forced her to remarry Su Mingzhe, saying that this was done for Xiaomi's growth, the Wu family's face, and her mother's safety.
As a daughter, what can Fei Wu do? Xiaozhi uses reason to move people with emotion, and talks about modern family values with the elderly? Does it make sense?
Considering her mother's illness and Xiaomi's life, Su Mingzhe called her again and said that she had found a new job. The salary was about the same as when she was at LK. Then she thought about the man who held her seven inches and wanted to take her. Su Mingcheng, the scumbag who put this canary in a cage, weighed the pros and cons and believed that there were many benefits to remarriage, so she compromised and agreed to Su Mingzhe's request for remarriage.
As for what she paid for the house in Nanshan Lishe, she didn't say. I believe Su Mingcheng didn't dare to say more, otherwise the public's spit would be enough to drown him.
Su Mingyu looked at Wu Fei and then at Su Mingcheng, vaguely aware that something was wrong with the situation between the two of them.
"I'm hungry." I don't know whether it was because he was jealous when he saw the child eating, or because he was really hungry. After saying this, Su Daqiang went straight to the duck leg to eat.
Su Mingyu held his wrist: "Dad, wait a minute, I'll get you disposable gloves."
"Mingyu, just let dad take it and eat it." Su Mingzhe couldn't stand it, feeling that it was abusing the elderly.
"He ate so much that his hands were covered in grease, and he was going to scratch it everywhere."
Su Mingzhe still wanted to speak, but Wu Fei poked his lower back, so he had no choice but to shut up.
"I'll steam the seafood in the gift box."
Just like that, Wu Fei pulled her ex-husband into the kitchen.
Half an hour later, the seafood platter was served.
It was said to be New Year's Eve dinner, but the food was basically untouched. Only Xiaomi and Su Daqiang were eating, and the rest of the people were more or less embarrassed.
"Since you are all here, while celebrating the New Year, there is something I want to say." Su Mingyu said: "Dad suffers from Alzheimer's disease and needs someone to take care of him. He has spent the past two months with me... It was fine before, but I will have to find a job to support myself after the new year. Then I will definitely not be like now, so, brother..."
"Mingyu, I know what you want to say. In addition to celebrating the New Year together, another purpose of coming back this time is to confirm dad's support plan. No matter what dad has done before, he will always be the father who gave birth to us and raised us. , this cannot be changed. Now that he is old, his children should provide for him until he is old and die. Do you think it is...Mingcheng?"
"Give birth to us and raise us? Another moral kidnapping, Su Mingzhe, you disappoint me so much." Lin Yuepi said with a smile: "Do you know why he tried so hard to trick us two?"
Looking at the question, people don't know what to say.
Su Mingzhe said: "Mingcheng, you can't say that, dad is the same..."
Lin Yue waved his hand and did not let him finish his words.
"I remember Su Mingyu said that she felt that her parents had treated her badly, so she secretly went to the hospital for a DNA test, and the results showed that she was indeed the daughter of Su Daqiang and Zhao Meilan. A few days ago, when I was looking for something in my old house, I went to the hospital on a whim. I did a DNA test, guess what?"
When everyone heard this, they all cheered up to look at him.
Su Daqiang, who had previously hunched over and ignored others, shuddered.
Lin Yue said coldly: "The test results show that you and I are a mother, but not a father, and neither of our fathers is Su Daqiang."
After saying this, everyone was dumbfounded. The living room was so quiet that the sound of the air conditioner blowing into the ears was noisy.
