"Don't worry, the club has been doing well recently and everything is going smoothly."
"Now, all our business is permitted by law, and there is nothing shameful about it, just like you longed for it a long time ago."
"Even the leader of the Chongde Gang, who has been working against us all day long, has joined the gang and has no time to make trouble with us anymore."
"When you were alive, you hoped that the association would change its path so that it would no longer be looked down upon by outsiders. It would no longer be thought that no matter how much money our association made, it was just a street rat that violated laws and disciplines. I know that you did it all for me.
You hope that I can live an open life without being talked about. Unfortunately, it is not that easy to change from black to white. Many uncles and uncles in the society are against it. It was not completed when you were alive, but my son has completed it for you now."
Having said this, Long Dinghao raised the wine bottle on the counter and poured a glass of wine for his father:
"If you are happy, drink some wine to have fun, but you can't drink too much. Even in that world, you have to pay attention to your health."
"But, Dad, I'm not very happy."
"Dad, what do you think I should do?"
"I really love her and can't let her go..."
"I know that she also likes me very much. She even risked her life to help me trip up Zhan Kui in order to pay off the debt."
"But, when two people are together, is it really just a matter of liking each other?"
"Dad, please teach me how to do it well."
As he talked, he became drunk and sat down on the floor.
I poured myself another glass of wine, clinked my glasses virtually to the portrait of my father in the air, and started drinking again.
Although she doesn't let him drink, at the moment, only alcohol can solve everything.
When you are drunk, you can temporarily escape many problems.
He drank cup after cup until all the tribute wine on the mourning platform was gone.
He picked up the empty wine bottle and shook it twice. Because he was drunk and lost strength, and because his movements were too violent, the bottle hit the altar.
The tabletop was a piece of glass and was immediately smashed.
The lower part is designed as a cabinet, where some of Father Long's relics are placed.
After Long's father passed away, Long Dinghao asked people to clean up all his father's belongings and put them together in this small memorial room.
The sound of glass breaking caused Long Dinghao to wake up halfway from his drink, and he hurriedly scolded people for coming in.
Several servants came in after hearing the sound and hurriedly tidied up.
Long Dinghao stumbled to the side, sat down, sobered up, and watched the servant clean up the mess.
In the middle of tidying up, I heard a male servant pick something up among a pile of relics and say "Eh".
The other two servants also came over to take a look.
Long Dinghao looked over and saw that it was a small USB flash drive. He couldn't help but stand up: "What is it?"
The male servant handed over the envelope: "I don't know. It slipped out of a photo album belonging to the old boss."
Long Dinghao took it and rubbed the USB drive. He had never found this thing when he was cleaning out his father's relics. After all, there were too many relics...
He turned around and walked towards the villa.
After returning to the room, plug the USB disk into the computer.
There is nothing in it, just a video file.
The name of the file is "A birthday gift to my son Dinghao".
The file creation date was several years ago...
It happened to be about a week before my dad was shot and died.
This...is the birthday gift that my father didn't have time to give me back then?
At that time, his father died suddenly, and the whole society was in chaos. He went to seek revenge on Zhan Kui, and was imprisoned. How could he notice this thing?
It is estimated that this thing was later mixed with the relics and collected together.
I didn't expect that it would be discovered many years later.
With almost trembling hands, he clicked on the video.
Father Long sat on the chair in the study room, adjusted the cell phone on the tripod, and sat in front of the camera.
I guess it was the first time I recorded a video for my son, so the grown man felt a little embarrassed.
He said "hello" twice to the camera, coughed again, and then said seriously:
"Son, you are one year older. Dad wishes you a happy birthday. You will be more sensible in the future, and more importantly, don't be like dad!"
Long Dinghao listened to his father's always rough voice. Even though the man had tears in his eyes, he still couldn't help but shed tears.
Father Long sighed:
"Dad has been very strict with you over the years. Every time you make a mistake, he beats you. Do you blame me?"
"I just hope that you can live a better life than me. I hope that you will not be dragged down by the reputation of the club. In the eyes of outsiders, you will not be a second-rate gangster."
"However, Dad has also considered it. As long as you still live in the club and are immersed in this environment every day, I'm afraid you won't be able to escape the same life as me. In the end, sooner or later, you will have to take over the family business and become a
People like me."
"So, I've thought about it and I plan to let you study abroad."
"The school has been chosen for you. The environment is very good. Where do you go to study for a few years? Stay away from clubs, don't be tied down by your family, and start your own life. Dad is cheering for you."
"Of course, I know you will definitely be reluctant to leave Momo. You don't want to go."
"Don't worry, I will arrange for Momo to go with you - if she is willing. Of course, Dad can see that she likes you very much. You two can't live without each other, so she should be willing to go with you.
.”
"If Momo is willing, I can choose a subject that I like and study with you there."
"Dad has paid for both of you's tuition."
"But, you kid, don't mess with adults when you're studying! Study hard for me! Although dad wants to have a grandson, he doesn't want to do it so soon!"
"After graduation, if you want, you can get married at any time. Dad gives you my blessing."
"This is the gift dad gave you this year."
Long Dinghao was stunned, clenching his fingers inch by inch, and couldn't control the tears flowing down.
Dad's belated gift was to send him to study abroad, hoping to completely get him out of the club environment.
She also planned to send him out with Momo.
Obviously fully aware of how much he likes Yun Mo.
When Father Long said this, his voice changed, his expression suddenly changed, and he hesitated for a long time.
After a while, he said again:
"Actually, there is something else Dad wants to tell you about Momo."
Long Dinghao listened, his eyebrows moved for no reason, and he sat upright.
Father Long looked at the camera and sighed:
"Dad has never objected to the matter between you and Momo, and he also likes this girl very much, but...
"But I found out some things about her recently, and I really don't know how to tell you, so I'll just tell you here."
"Listen to dad slowly and don't be angry yet."
"Actually, Momo is not an orphan without a father or mother, let alone a maid in our club."
"She is an intern reporter from Tancheng Daily. Her real name is Yun Mo. She came to our island for an unannounced visit."
It turns out that dad already knew the details of Yun Mo...
