Chapter 270 Quarrel
At noon that day, Wang Yan was having lunch in the cafeteria of Longteng headquarters when the phone beside him rang.
After looking at the caller ID, he picked up the call casually: "Hello, master?"
A burst of hearty laughter came from the other side of the phone: "Hi, just call me Lao Meng. I'm still so polite after all these years."
With Wang Yan's current status, Master Meng Zhiyuan was quite happy to hear this. To be honest, over the years, although he and Wang Yan had not met often, even if Su Mingyu took the lead in having a meal together for a year and a half, he had never opened his mouth to Wang Yan. But again, as long as Su Mingyu is held, it will basically be easy for him to open his mouth if something happens.
And although he hasn't opened his mouth in these years, he has not been affected by the shadow of Wang Yan's big tree. After all, anyone who cares should know who Wang Yan's wife is, where she works, and what is her relationship with Meng Zhiyuan. . So on this basis, it is reasonable to provide some insignificant convenience.
As for Wang Yan calling him master, it's just a title, no big deal. Of course, he still has a bit of baggage when it comes to calling him daddy or master. In more than three hundred years, he has never called anyone. Most of them call him "old man". It's not that I can't scream, but I always feel awkward. It's really annoying to recognize my father in every world. I might have to wait until I get married to Wei Lan before I can scream.
"Whatever Mingyu calls me, I'm used to it." Wang Yan said with a smile, "Master, what's the matter with the call?"
"Hey, it's nothing serious. We Zhongcheng are preparing to go public, right? All these ghosts and monsters in the company have jumped out. Mingyu, as you know, can't tolerate sand in his eyes. As for me, I just want to clean up the company. . If Mingyu is here, she will inevitably overthink and spoil the plan. So I thought of letting her rest for a while. I originally wanted to let her go to the United States, but considering your situation, I can only give her a break. .”
Wang Yan was confident: "The relationship is great. I see that she has been working overtime recently and has not been able to eat or sleep well. This time it is just right for her to go out and relax, so thank you, master."
"Hey, I mean, this holiday has some meaning from you. Otherwise, if Mingyu comes over and stares at me, I won't be able to bear it at my age."
"Haha, of course, that's it, I'll treat you to dinner another day."
Say a few words and hang up the phone. After dinner, Wang Yan followed up on the project as usual until he took Wang Lin home in the evening and saw Su Mingyu sitting on the sofa in a low mood.
The little girl knew something was wrong, called "Mom", and ran into Su Mingyu's arms to act like a baby.
Wang Yan sat with a smile and watched the interaction between the two. After a while, the little one started to do his homework. Su Mingyu looked at Wang Yan. The elder was unhappy: "It is a critical time recently. Why are you calling my master?"
"I just called to complain. The company doesn't lack you. It's the same thing if you leave anyone." Wang Yan asked with a smile: "How long of leave have you been given?"
"One month." Su Mingyu rolled her eyes angrily: "Do you know how much this will delay?"
Wang Yan would definitely not take the blame himself. The woman was very annoyed by her temper. He hugged Su Mingyu and said, "I did make the call, but your master did mean to let you rest for a while, but It’s not all my fault.”
"What's the meaning?"
"Don't you know the situation of your company? If your master wants to go public, the company must be cleaned up... and finally all these people will be eliminated."
"Then he could just tell me no? Why are you sending me away?"
"Don't you know what you are like? Don't others know?" Wang Yan looked disgusted and ignored her dissatisfaction. He said, "It's just a month's rest this time. Relax, go out and play to relax." Okay."
Wang Lin, who was doing homework not far away, threw away her pen and ran over: "Mom, do you want to go out to play?"
Seeing her daughter's positive look, Su Mingyu didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "You still have to go to school, and I can't take you with me. I will go with your father."
"Why?" The little girl jumped anxiously and pursed her lips to express her dissatisfaction: "Dad is a teacher and he also has to go to school. Why can dad go but I can't?"
Wang Yan waved his hand: "Okay, mom is teasing you. Why don't I take you with me when we go out to play? Go and do your homework."
"real?"
"When did dad lie to you?"
These words were very useful. After all, Wang Yan really didn't lie. Wang Lin nodded: "Then you can't leave me alone..." She ran back doubtfully and continued to do her homework.
"I'd better stay at home. This time of relaxation, I don't want to move at all."
"Go ahead, I promised you, master, that I won't let you get involved. It's better for you to stay away and stay away from things in the company as much as possible." Wang Yan said with a smile: "And you haven't been with Linlin for a long time. It just so happens that I take her out with me this time."
"No, she still has to go to school."
"What's the big deal? It's better to take the child out to gain experience than that. I'll make up for it in the next two days."
Su Mingyu pondered, and under the eager gaze of the little girl behind, she finally nodded: "Okay, won't you go together?"
"I'm taking care of three classes of students. As a teacher, you can't delay their future. When your trip is almost over, I'll take a few days off and spend a few days with you two, and we'll come back together."
"Okay, I'll take Linlin out to play for a while, and you can stay at home."
Wang Yan didn't look back: "Linlin, finish today's homework, or mom won't take you with you tomorrow."
The little girl who was about to throw away the pen paused, pursed her lips, suppressed her excitement, and began to write her homework...
In this way, the next day, Su Mingyu and Wang Lin, together with a female bodyguard assigned by Wang Yan, happily flew to Chengdu. After playing there for two days, they would take a train to Tibet, and then continue traveling all over the world. Flying around without any plan, just go wherever you want. Arranging bodyguards is purely to help carry things and look after the children, so there is definitely no danger.
It was rare for Wang Yan to feel calm. After all, there was no little girl jumping up and down, and he was happy to be at ease. Continue to live at the same pace as before and enjoy it.
Now he has taught several students, and he has become a famous teacher. Mainly relying on word of mouth, parents can easily find commonalities through word of mouth. If the Chinese language performance is not bad, even a gangster will change his ways. Regardless of his academic performance, the child will always grow up straight. Parents will have less to worry about. And the most important thing is that they like to read. Some excellent ones still like to be fine. Write articles and so on. As a result, those who cannot go to key middle schools will put their children in the class taught by him.
In view of this situation, the school leaders also discussed with Wang Yan and wanted to make him the class teacher. After all, if he could lead the whole class, with Wang Yan's demonstrated teaching and educational abilities, he would definitely be in the top class, not even worse than a key school. Of course Wang Yan refused. He, a Chinese teacher, was worried about this, and he was not really free. It's just that he doesn't want the cat to be in the laboratory all day and finds other jobs to kill time.
At the old Su's house, after applying for visas, Su Mingcheng and his wife took Su Daqiang shopping, and invited Su Daqiang's old colleagues and friends to dinner and drinks, mainly to show off. Su Daqiang, who had been a coward for most of his life, expressed his frustration and happiness.
After receiving the call, Su Mingzhe did not hesitate and directly booked a flight ticket for Su Daqiang to go there as soon as possible. He felt that Su Mingcheng and Zhu Li were unable to take care of Su Daqiang, who had already been taken care of in the hospital in just a few days, and Su Mingyu could not count on him. He never thought about whether it was Su Daqiang's fault. He only blamed Su Mingcheng and Su Mingyu.
Therefore, after getting ready, Su Mingcheng and Zhu Li both took leave to spend a day at home, and then went to Shanghai to see Su Daqiang off by plane. The purpose is to send this ancestor off properly, not to do anything wrong, and let life return to their world.
Su Daqiang reluctantly hugged his second son, turned around and pushed his luggage happily into the terminal without looking back. Two hours later, the plane took off from Shanghai, stopped in Seoul, and finally arrived in San Francisco. The plane took off from Hongqiao Airport. With Su Daqiang's free heart, he rushed into the dark sky and flew to the other side of the ocean...
After Su Mingzhe went to two interviews and was ruthlessly rejected, he returned home to relieve his anxiety, put himself in a good mood as he was about to see his old father, packed up a room, came out, and drove there. Airport pickup.
Su Daqiang took a plane for the first time in his life, and it was a long-distance trip abroad. Everything he saw was new. Although I have never flown on a plane, I always follow the crowd and do whatever others do. After getting off the plane, Su Daqiang pushed the new suitcase Su Mingcheng bought for him, and followed a bunch of chattering people through the security check and exited the station smoothly.
Seeing Su Mingzhe waiting outside, he couldn't help but quicken his pace. That was because he was relying on him. It would be a lie to say that he was not worried about this journey. After all, it was his first time traveling far away.
"Mingzhe, Dad misses you..."
Su Mingzhe patted his back and comforted him: "We have arrived in the United States, and we will enjoy happiness here from now on."
"Hey, you don't know. I couldn't eat well or sleep well in Mingcheng, so you had to torment me..." After hugging Su Mingcheng, Su Daqiang said: "Let's go quickly, Mingzhe. I Now, I just want to have a full meal and then sleep comfortably. Has the room for me been tidied up?"
"It's all packed a long time ago. Don't worry, Dad. Come on, I'll hold your luggage for you. Let's go this way." Su Mingzhe took the luggage and left the airport with Su Daqiang.
"Oh, America is great. Look at how spacious it is outside." She sighed with emotion and turned her head to ask the eldest son beside her: "Is your wife not here?"
"Ah, no, she is cooking for you at home." Su Mingzhe looked a little unnatural. He had just called Wu Fei after he got off work, saying that Su Daqiang was here and asked her to cook something rich at night. After being sprayed by Wu Fei, he hung up the phone. He knew that before it was over, the real storm was yet to come.
Su Daqiang smiled and asked, "Really? She's not unhappy when I come over, right?"
"No, how could she be unhappy? Don't think too much about it." Su Mingzhe shook his head and said, "Dad, it will take a while for us to drive home. If you are sleepy, you can rest in the car. We will drive there in a while. Got home."
"Hey, why can't I sleep now? It's my first time to come to the United States and I'm so excited." Su Daqiang laughed and waved his hands: "By the way, Mingzhe, you call Mingcheng to report that I'm safe and say I'm here. Save He and Julie are worried about him. Tsk, look at my brain, there is a time difference between us and China, right? Calling now won't affect their rest. "
"We're fifteen hours behind. It's morning in China now, so it won't affect them. I'll call them right away." With that, Su Mingzhe took out his mobile phone and called Su Mingcheng to report that he was safe.
After another happy moment, he hung up the phone. Su Mingzhe thought for a while and said, "Dad, please call Mingyu and tell her that you are coming to the United States."
Su Daqiang shook his head repeatedly without even thinking: "I won't fight. If you want to fight, you will fight yourself."
"Are you still angry about Wang Yan's fight with Mingcheng?" Su Mingzhe frowned and said, "In that case, forget it. But Dad, Mingyu and Wang Yan are really shameless. I have called them before and said, I criticized them and promised that it won’t happen again, so don’t worry, dad.”
He couldn't count, Su Mingyu had already blocked him, and Wu Fei wouldn't let him use his mobile phone to contact Su Mingyu. Although he could do it secretly, he had a feeling that if he really wanted to use Wu Fei's mobile phone to call Su Mingyu, even Wu Fei would be blocked. There is still a communication channel. If it disappears, then there will be a real break between them as brothers and sisters.
While talking, they arrived at the parking lot, put away their luggage, and Su Mingzhe drove Su Daqiang home. Pointing and spitting along the way, I introduced it to the excited Su Daqiang, and he was equally excited.
This has been a fucking seventeen years, not ninety-seven. Suzhou is a front-row city, and with Longteng's vigorous development in the past decade, even San Francisco doesn't have much. Not to mention dirty, but the design is not as good as expected. It was the first time Su Daqiang came here, and everything he saw was new, so he felt that everything was good.
After a happy journey, we arrived at a relatively remote Chinese community, where Su Mingzhe's home was. San Francisco has one-fifth Chinese, one-fifth black, and there are also many people from other places such as Bangzi, Japan, Southeast Asia, and Europe. In other countries, especially in such a free country, it is normal for people to huddle together for warmth, even if the inside is dirty. Therefore, the Chinese ghetto and the black ghetto are not distinct, but they are determined not to be lumped together.
When they arrived at the place, Su Daqiang looked at the large house in front of him from outside: "Hey, I've seen photos before, but now it looks really big and majestic. It's much more majestic than our old house, not to mention Mingzhe's building. "
Su Mingzhe smiled reservedly: "Dad, it's like this here. You'll get used to it in the future. It's okay. Come in and eat. After eating, take a shower and then sleep comfortably."
Su Daqiang nodded happily and followed Su Mingzhe into the house.
Hearing the sound of opening the door, Wu Fei, whose eyes were still slightly red, controlled his emotions, forced a smile and took the child out: "Dad, you are here, has the journey been smooth? Xiaomi, call grandpa quickly."
Su Mingzhe and Wu Feisheng's little girl is called Su Lan, and Xiaomi is a nickname.
The child hid behind Wu Fei and looked at the strange old man in front of him: "Grandpa."
"It went well, very well." Su Daqiang bent down and clapped his hands: "Come on, Xiaomi, let grandpa hug you."
Xiaomi turned around and ran away...
Su Mingzhe explained: "Dad, don't be offended, Xiaomi is a little bit naive."
Su Daqiang straightened up in embarrassment: "How can you vent your anger on a child? Well... where is the house that I have tidied up? I will put it away first."
"Dad, let's eat first." Su Mingzhe stopped him and said, "It won't taste good if it gets cold for a while. After eating, Wu Fei and I will help you clean it up."
"Eat first? That's fine. Then let's eat first. There's no rush anyway, right?" Su Daqiang laughed out loud, walked around Wu Fei in front of him and walked in: "Where is the bathroom? I just wash my hands."
Su Mingzhe pulled Wu Fei, and after being pulled away, he turned around and took the luggage aside: "Come on, dad, I'll take you there, right here."
"This room is bright and spacious."
"This is a small one. We are still considering changing the house. Dad, this way."
Listening to the conversation, Wu Fei pursed her lips and wiped away tears. Her face was as ugly as it was. She was so aggrieved. She never expected that Su Mingzhe didn't consider her and her child's situation at all.
Now Su Mingzhe is unemployed and has to repay the mortgage every month, as well as other miscellaneous expenses, and his family does not have much savings. She works as a receptionist at the company, and her salary is only about 3,000 yuan a month, which is not enough to cover such a large expense for a family. And not only does she have to go to work, she also has to take care of her children, and now she has a father, what the fuck...
"Feifei, what are you doing? It's time to eat."
After a while, Su Mingzhe's voice sounded. Wu Fei wiped away his tears, took a deep breath, and went out to take care of the children at the dinner table. If she hadn't had a child, she wouldn't have even cooked the food, let alone the food.
Su Mingzhe also knew that Wu Fei was unhappy, so he tried not to tease her and only ate and drank with Su Daqiang who took care of her.
"I told you before I came here that I might not be used to being able to eat at home here. I didn't expect Wu Fei's cooking to be pretty good. It's much better than Mingcheng's wife. It's pretty good."
Wu Feiqiang smiled: "Thank you, dad, please eat more." As she spoke, she didn't even raise her head as she fed the child.
Su Mingzhe picked up some food for his biological father: "It's not that exaggerated. Although it's a little far away here, everything is nearby. Life is still very convenient. We can make whatever we want."
"When I came here before, Mingcheng took me to a Western restaurant to eat steak. He said he would adapt to it in advance. Is this the same as in China? What else should I adapt to?"
Su Mingzhe was stunned for a moment, then smiled after understanding the meaning: "Dad, if you want to eat it, I will take you to eat it tomorrow. The beef here is relatively cheap, but the really expensive ones are the vegetables."
Su Daqiang had a question mark on his face: "Are vegetables expensive?"
"Yes, Dad, because..."
Listening to the father and mother's chatter, Wu Fei ate some hastily. After feeding his daughter, he hugged the child and said, "Dad, eat slowly," and then went upstairs with his daughter.
Su Daqiang instantly drooped his old face, widened his eyes, put down his chopsticks and stood up: "Wu Fei, doesn't she want me to come? Otherwise, I'd better go back!"
He has been a coward all his life, and he is not an old fool. Don't you know this bit about human nature? As a father-in-law, this is his first time visiting the house, and he will spend his old age here in the future. After the first meal, even after you finish eating, you should sit and chat. You won’t put down your chopsticks and leave. Besides, he's not blind, and it's not like he didn't see the red eyes. Besides, he's only said three words since he entered the house, so he still doesn't know what's going on.
"Oh, daddy, don't worry. She's just feeling a little uncomfortable today. How can I have any objection to you? She'll be fine tomorrow if she rests." Su Mingzhe quickly pulled his father to sit down.
"You really don't want me to come?"
"That's not true. Dad, hurry up and eat. After eating, take a shower and have a good sleep."
Su Daqiang smacked his lips and looked at his eldest son suspiciously: "Then I'll eat it?"
"Eat quickly." Su Mingzhe couldn't laugh or cry, and he suppressed his sadness. After serving his father, he ate, took a bath, walked around the house, helped pack things and settled down, and then hurriedly He found Wu Fei who was playing with his children on the bed and admitted his mistake.
"Honey, I'm sorry..." Su Mingzhe stepped forward and hugged Wu Fei, trying to use sweet words to make up for this mistake.
"I'm sorry?" Wu Fei immediately exploded, but considering that the child was still in front of him, he suppressed his anger and said warmly: "Xiao Mi, can you play with your toys by yourself? Mommy goes to talk to daddy about something."
After settling the child, Wu Fei got up and walked out. He went downstairs and stood in the living room. He turned around and suppressed his voice. Veins popped up on his neck. The nice woman suddenly lost her sense of beauty: "Su Mingzhe, is it helpful to apologize? Ah?" Have you ever taken Xiaomi and I seriously? Have you ever thought about how we would live if your father were to come?"
"Did we agree before that we won't let dad apply for a visa until you find a job? You just can't find a job for a while, so you have to bite the bullet and take your dad over first. Now the deal is done, I can only force it. Accept it with all your heart. Have you ever taken me and the child seriously? Have you ever considered my feelings?"
Su Mingzhe tried to grab her hand, but was thrown away ruthlessly. He sighed and said, "Then my dad will come sooner or later, right? It doesn't make any difference if he comes early or late..."
"The same? Tell me how it can be the same. Now that you have no job and only my own salary, we have to pay off the mortgage and pay insurance. Xiaomi also has to buy things and study. Tell me, where does the money come from? ?" Wu Fei wanted to die, but why couldn't he explain: "Even if we have some savings, have you ever considered me? I have to go to work and take care of Xiaomi. I am already very tired. Now your dad Come here and ask me to take care of you, Su Mingzhe, I am a human being and I can’t take care of you. If you had a job, I wouldn’t say this, but now our home is very fragile and we can’t bear it, do you understand?”
Su Mingzhe's patience was very limited and he was very arrogant. He didn't say a few soft words. He was not happy when he heard Wu Fei say nothing about his work: "If you don't want my dad to come and take care of him, you can just say it. You don't have to always Mention the fact that I don’t have a job.”
"I don't want your dad to come? I don't want to take care of your dad? Why don't you mention work?" Wu Fei screwed up his face and took a deep breath: "Can you consider the reality? You don't know how much savings our family has, your dad comes over Our expenses will increase a lot. If your dad has a headache, you don’t know how much it will cost. Can you do it without a job? "
"Work! Work! Work!" Su Mingzhe said with anger on his face, and his voice rose a lot: "I am a top student who graduated from a prestigious school. I don't believe I can't find a job."
"You can find it, so why don't you look for it? It's been more than half a month now, what have you found?" Wu Feidu laughed angrily: "Can't you put down your dignity and find a job first? Mr. Zhang Du You took off your lab uniform and went to deliver pizza. Didn’t your classmate also serve the plates? It’s all about making a living, why can’t you do it?”
Su Mingzhe frowned: "You want me to be a blue-collar worker? To do manual labor?"
"What's wrong with manual labor? They make no less than you did before."
"Next month is the recruitment season. I will definitely find a job. Can you stop talking about it? My dad is already here anyway, so we can't drive him back to his hometown in Suzhou, right? Then how can I be a son?" Su Mingzhe Waving his hands impatiently, he didn't want to say any more: "My dad has been flying for a day and is already very tired. Let's not disturb his rest, okay?"
"Why can't you give it a try? Don't you understand that having income is better than having no income? If you just sit back and have nothing, sooner or later you will be unable to hold on."
Su Mingzhe was helpless. Why didn't the woman he shared the bed with understand him or support him? Her face was ugly, she rolled her eyes and said impatiently: "Because we haven't reached the end of our rope yet, why don't you believe me?" ? Sooner or later, there will come a day when you can’t hold on anymore? Then wait until you really can’t hold on anymore.”
"Su Mingzhe, recognize the reality. In today's environment, it is no longer time for you to graduate. As a programmer, you are already very old. Can you learn new things as quickly as young people? Besides, with your personality, you are already very old. Not management.”
"What's wrong with my character? I've worked hard step by step from a small place to now, and I won't be easily eliminated." Su Mingzhe shouted, waved his hands irritably, and lowered his volume: "Can you stop arguing? I said, my dad is very tired and he needs to rest. It’s not like our life is impossible now. Do you think I can’t find a job and be free? I’m also very irritable. Why can’t you be considerate of me? Okay. , go to sleep, we’ll talk about anything tomorrow.”
Wu Fei was so angry that his liver ached, because he couldn't understand anything despite the quarrel, but in the end he still wanted her to be considerate?
The problem was never whether Su Daqiang would come or not. It was that Su Mingzhe had to take Su Daqiang over because he had no job. The key was that he had no job and the key was money. Another one is that Su Mingzhe disrespected her and brought Su Daqiang over without telling her.
Now the two of them had a quarrel, but nothing was solved, it just made the already blocked heart worse.
Seeing Su Mingzhe turn around and leave, Wu Fei rubbed his head in pain and slumped on the sofa, tired.
She and Su Mingzhe had quarreled over the years. After all, the vows of eternal love and sweet love before marriage were no match for the daily necessities after marriage. Since her mother-in-law died, these recent quarrels made her understand that Su Mingzhe was a paranoid, selfish and arrogant maniac. For the sake of his own face, he ignored her feelings and the life and death of their mother and daughter.
If there is no such thing, why is there such a man? Forcing himself to calm down, Wu Fei began to recall every detail of these years...
