Chapter 18: The Father and the Son

Chapter 18 In the hotel room of Father and Son, Zhuo Ling came out of the shower, only wrapped a bath towel around his waist, and his lean and upright figure was visible at a glance, his hair was wet, and the tips of his hair were dripping with water droplets, and the water droplets condensed into a stream of water on his back, sliding down along the back muscle lines.

Suddenly, the mobile phone resting on the bedside table vibrated like a shower, making a strong beeping sound.

Zhuo Ling picked up the phone and looked at it, his brows furrowed suddenly, it was the old man's phone.

Oh, it's rare!

He picked it up and asked in a lukewarm tone, "Something?"

Zhuo Wannian sighed, he missed this son very much in his heart, he hadn't seen him for three years, the cold war between father and son had lasted for three whole years, and now he had to give in to this stubborn boy first.

"If it's okay, I'll hang up. ”

"Hmph!" Finally, the old man spoke, "what kind of attitude do you have, ah? Is that how you talk to me?"

Zhuo Ling chuckled, forget it, after all, today is the old man's seventieth birthday, and he put down his body and took the initiative to call him, between father and son, there is no deep hatred, he suddenly became serious, and said, "Dad, happy birthday." ”

With five simple words, there was silence on the other end of the phone, the corners of Zhuo Wannian's old mouth trembled slightly, and he said hoarsely: "Thank you, you are here for the banquet at the Hyatt Regency Hotel today." ”

Zhuo Ling's heart was a little bitter, he was cold, but not cold-blooded, this old man was his own father, the person who created him and changed his life, "But aunt shouldn't want to see me." ”

"Are you going to wait until I'm dead to see me one last time?"

β€œ......”

"Come, I've left you a place...... Let Daddy meet you. ”

That trace of bitterness suddenly became sour, and Zhuo Ling suddenly felt that he still had a family in this world, and a family, "That...... Okay, what time is it?"

Zhuo Lao was a little excited, "Six o'clock, six o'clock, I'm waiting for you." ”

"Good. After hanging up the phone, Zhuo Ling gently grinded the mobile phone screen with her big mother's fingers, and the screen displayed two simple words - father.

β€”β€”At six o'clock in the evening, the largest banquet room of the Hyatt Regency Hotel was full of friends, political and business celebrities all attended, and people in the upper social circles were basically all there.

Zhuo Wannian's 70th birthday, this is a major event, the door of the hotel is full of congratulatory banners and flower baskets, and the electronic display screen is also constantly rotating blessings.

Zhuo Ling stood at the door of the hotel, crooked his mouth and smiled disdainfully, the Zhuo family just loves to show off.

"Alas, isn't that Second Young Master Zhuo. ”

A group of reporters who had been turned away from the door surrounded them with their cameras and taking pictures.

"Second Young Master Zhuo, why don't you see Miss Nana, aren't you dating?"

"Second Young Master Zhuo, I heard that Old Zhuo is very dissatisfied with your extensive friendship, so you just moved out of the Zhuo family and haven't returned for three years, are you here to make peace this year?"

"Second Young Master Zhuo, is it because of family conflicts or because of political marriages that you left home?"

"Second Young Master Zhuo, answer, answer ......"

Zhuo Ling was so surrounded that he couldn't walk, his face instantly stepped down, and every question from the reporters touched his landmine, he didn't like his private life to be noticed.

A team of bodyguards of the Zhuo family hurriedly came over to drive away the reporters, and Zhuo Ling quickly walked into the hotel with a black face.

It's a blessing that I didn't get angry.

"Master, the second young master is here. ”

Hearing the sound of the housekeeper's report, Zhuo Wannian, who was sitting on the main seat, stood up tremblingly, seventy years old, his body was no longer tough, his originally straight back was slightly bent, and he also needed someone to help him walk.

Hearing the news, Cai Nianlan, who was sitting next to her, said, "Old man, are you so excited? He should come to see you, you don't have to go to greet him." "Dog wild species, you know how to cook against the old man's appetite!

Zhuo Wannian lowered his head and glared, Cai Nianlan immediately didn't dare to continue talking, but leaned around, and his anger became more obvious, "Lao Li, is the eldest young master here?"

Lao Li owed a debt and whispered, "Madam, the eldest young master hasn't come yet, but he's already on the way." ”

"Go and urge him, just wait for him. ”

"Huh. ”

Zhuo Wannian's steps were a little faltering, but the frequency of raising his feet was getting faster and faster, he wanted to see this son soon, this son he didn't know what to compensate for.

The hall is very bright, and the luxurious decoration of Hyatt can be called top-notch, top-notch luxury.

Zhuo Ling was dressed in a silver-gray suit, walking with dignity and elegance, and the aristocratic temperament exuded by his whole body could completely suppress this top-level luxury. Zhuo Wannian stood in place with relief, tears rolling in his eyes, it has been three years, this angry son who has left home has not returned home for three years.

Zhuo Ling walked in, his expression was very serious because of the unpleasantness at the door. However, when he walked up to the old man, he suddenly smiled, and he smiled very flatteringly, and he calmly took out a long and thin hard box from the inner pocket of his suit, "Dad, I wish you good health, a smile always, and a long life." ”

Zhuo Wannian's old face couldn't help but laugh, reached out to take the gift, and opened it to see that it was his favorite brand of fountain pen. This gift is probably the cheapest gift he has received this year, but in his eyes, it is the most valuable. "Thank you, if you can move back home, I will definitely be able to smile and live a long life. ”

Zhuo Ling touched his nose and said mischievously: "I'm afraid that as soon as I move back, you will be sad again, and I don't dare to make you angry." Coughing lightly, his tone returned to seriousness, "Ahem, Dad, I think it's good now, I don't want to make my aunt angry, I don't want to embarrass you, I don't want to break the harmony of the Zhuo family, as for meeting, I don't have to go back, you can also go to me." ”

Zhuo Wannian patted his arm, "Okay, whatever you want, as long as you have a good time." ”

Sitting at the main table, Aunt Cai Nianlan will always have a stinky face for him, and sister-in-law Fang Ting sits dignifiedly, staying out of everything, but it is the little niece Ning Ning, the female college has changed eighteen.

"Uncle uncle, I'm going to sit with you. "Zhuo Ning is the little princess of the Zhuo family, born with a golden key, and has been loved by thousands of people since she was a child.

"Ning Ning, sit back, you can't be willful today. Cai Nianlan couldn't see her baby granddaughter getting close to Zhuo Ling, "That's your father's position, you sit back." ”

Zhuo Ning pouted, pulling Zhuo Ling's arm and reluctant to leave.

Zhuo Ling smiled, coaxing the little girl was what he was best at, "Ning Ning, listen to your grandmother, uncle will have a gift for you later." ”

"That'...... Good. ”

Zhuo Ning didn't listen to Cai Nianlan's words, but listened to Zhuo Ling's words, which made Cai Nianlan hate even more in her heart, she gave him a fierce look, she hated the taste of cheapness on his body, and the son of a lowly life was also cheap, and he was not even qualified to go to the dinner table.

Zhuo Ling didn't care, he was young, this was his time, he would not be trampled under Cai Nianlan forever.
