Chapter 226: Su Daqiang's American dream is shattered(1/2)
Su Daqiang, who let himself go, drank a lot of wine and talked nonsense for a long time when he returned home before falling asleep.
Zeng Xian took off his clothes and covered him with a quilt, and then came out of his room.
"It seems that Dad is really happy."
Zhu Li had never seen Su Daqiang like this before and said.
"My mother was too strict in the past, and he has been depressed for too long."
"You said dad can't go to the United States this time, but I don't think so. It's like this. If he can't go, how uncomfortable it will be for him."
Zhu Li didn't know what Zeng Xian based his judgment on.
Zeng Xian said:
"My eldest brother is a man who cares about face. He always likes to make impromptu decisions on a whim, such as taking dad to the United States. My sister-in-law definitely doesn't know about this, and I don't know how many times the two of them had quarrels over this matter.
If my sister-in-law agrees, can I still wait until now? Do I have to call the old man personally to ask? In this case, even if I go, I won't stay for long, but I still think the chance of not being able to go is relatively high."
Early the next morning, several people were sitting and having breakfast. Su Daqiang made silly laughter from time to time, making Zeng Xian and Zhu Li laugh together.
They say that old children are old children. If Su Daqiang didn't act like a monster, he would indeed be like a child sometimes, quite cute.
"After dinner, you call your elder brother and tell him that I have completed all the procedures and ask him to book a flight as soon as possible."
"Dad, you are in such a hurry to leave, aren't you reluctant to leave us?"
Zeng Xian teased him.
"I don't want to give up! But what can I do? Your elder brother just wants to show some filial piety while I am still alive. If I don't go, he will be sad. Anyway, I have lived here with you for so long.
You don’t have to make money with your elder brother, you have to give him some opportunities to fulfill your filial piety, right? If you miss me, just send me a video, okay? Hahaha~"
Hey, this old man, he can’t get out of Versailles, can he?
"Okay, I'll listen to you, okay!"
Zeng Xian followed his words as if teasing a child, and the atmosphere was actually very cheerful.
The cell phone placed aside suddenly rang. Zeng Xian picked it up and saw that it was Su Mingzhe calling.
Zeng Xian slid towards the answer button, turned on the external speaker, and said:
"Hey, big brother!"
Su Daqiang couldn't wait any longer and said:
"Mingzhe, I have completed all the procedures here. You can book a flight and come pick me up. I have packed everything."
Su Mingzhe said nothing, and Su Daqiang had a premonition that something was not good.
"Mingzhe, please speak!"
"Here you are, Dad!"
"Oh, it's good to be here, I thought it was disconnected."
Su Daqiang's mood was obviously not as high as before.
"Dad, you may have to put your coming to the United States on hold for a while."
The bad premonition came true. Su Daqiang's mood hit rock bottom, and he entered the room with a straight face without saying a word.
"Dad, I'm sorry! I have something to deal with here. I'll pick you up after it's done."
Su Mingzhe was saying his debt there, but little did he know that Su Daqiang didn't hear this at all.
"Brother, dad has come into the room. Don't worry, I will calm him down. You can handle your own affairs well. If you need my help, just tell me."
"Mingcheng, I feel relieved with your words. It's me who has neglected my duty as the elder brother. Please apologize to Dad on my behalf."
"Stop talking, take good care of your sister-in-law and niece. Don't worry about the family."
After hanging up the phone, Zhu Li looked at Zeng Xian with an expression of disbelief,
"Husband, you are so awesome. I really got it right! Did you say that it was really because the elder sister-in-law didn't agree that the elder brother did this? If so, isn't this elder sister-in-law a bit too much?
?”
She is also the daughter-in-law, so she should take care of the elderly, but Wu Fei is also the daughter-in-law of their old Su family, and she also has the obligation to take care of the elderly. If it is because she is far away in the United States and cannot take care of the elderly, then she should also contribute financially.
It’s not that Zhu Li likes to be serious or is petty. This is a normal thing. If Su Mingzhe’s family is in difficulty and his family’s economic conditions are very good, and you can’t contribute any effort or money, this is a normal thing. With Zhu Li
Of course, my character will not care about you so much.
But now that your family is able to gain a foothold in the United States, no matter how difficult it is, it will never be so difficult that you can't even pay a small amount of support.
Of course, this is what Julie thinks as a normal person. After all, she doesn't know that Su Mingzhe is unemployed.
"Stop guessing. Maybe they have their own difficulties. With my eldest brother's character, he won't break his promise to dad if he doesn't have to. The old man must be feeling uncomfortable now. Let's pay attention to what we say in the past two days and try not to talk too much.
He mentioned Big Brother in front of him."
Julie nodded,
"I know, I'll pay attention."
Zeng Xian went to knock on the door, but Su Daqiang ignored him.
Julie came over and said:
"Leave dad alone for a while."
Zeng Xian nodded,
"Okay, I'll take you to work first."
Zeng Xian told Su Daqiang through the door that he would take Zhu Li to work and take him to the new house to see the decoration when he came back, and asked him not to go out alone.
in the car,
"Honey, you have some time to practice driving recently. Once you are proficient, you can drive to work by yourself!"
It's okay to live here. The two pick-up and drop-off trips a day are a bit troublesome, but it doesn't take long. But if you move to the new house and it's further away from Julie's company, it will take half an hour if there's a traffic jam.
, it takes more than an hour to go back and forth.
"What's wrong, don't you want to take me to and from get off work?"
Zeng Xian explained:
"No! Now that the old man lives with us, something might happen at some point, and I won't have time to take you to the company. After you practice, I will buy you a car and drive you by yourself every day.
How convenient it is to commute to and from work by car!”
When she heard that she was going to buy a car for herself, Julie was shocked.
"You want to buy me a car? Husband, are you serious?"
"Of course, why would I lie to you?"
"Husband, you are so good!"
Zhu Li kissed Zeng Xian on the face, leaving a pink lip mark.
Zeng Xian sent Zhu Li to the company, but when he came back, he found that Su Daqiang was not at home.
Zeng Xian quickly took out his cell phone and dialed his number, but the other party's phone was turned off. Zeng Xian called Su Mingyu's phone again, rang a few times and then hung up. Zeng Xian called twice more, but it still rang once.
It was hung up after two clicks.
Zeng Xian sent a text message to Su Mingyu:
Brother Gu Xun called in the morning and said that he could not take Dad to the United States for the time being. I just sent Julie to the company, and when I came back, I found that the old man was not at home and the phone was turned off. I am very worried now. If the old man is with you,
Tell me.
As usual, Su Mingyu either didn't reply or wouldn't reply so quickly. Zeng Xian didn't wait at home and searched around the community.
Ten minutes later, Su Mingyu called,
"What's going on?"
Su Mingyu's voice sounded a little angry.
Zeng Xian was also anxious.
There is only so much space for activities in the community, and the old man is never seen anywhere he goes.
"I don't know either. He is not at home when he comes back. I have searched in the community and no one has seen him. Do you know where Dad usually likes to go?"
"How do I know? You can search around the community, including snack bars, small parks, and so on. I will go to the old house to have a look. Maybe he went there."
Su Mingyu originally had a meeting to hold, but now that her old father suddenly disappeared, she could not find the time to attend the meeting. She immediately asked her assistant to postpone the meeting and drove to her old house.
Zeng Xian asked the guard uncle, who said that he indeed saw Su Daqiang leaving the community. Zeng Xian quickly searched the parks and shopping malls near the community, and even looked for the lottery shop that Su Daqiang liked to go to in his memory.
There is no trace of Su Daqiang.
Zeng Xian remembered that there seemed to be no such incident in the original plot, but there was a section about running away from home, but that happened much later.
Zeng Xian thought that he took good care of Su Daqiang. He personally prepared three meals for him a day, and even if he didn't take a shower for a week, it didn't matter.
If he has reached this level and wants to run away from home, then there is really nothing to say.
