Chapter 4 Exhortation
In the middle of summer afternoons, it is always a little lazy, and when you walk alone among the shade and flowers, you will think about some things very thoroughly. The puppy hurried across the hot gravel road and lay down in a cool place, sticking out his tongue and panting. There are also children who don't like to take a nap, shouting at their grandmother on the slide, "Look at me", and then rushing down the long slide in one breath, and the grandparents and grandchildren laughed from ear to ear by the grass. The uncle who delivered the express delivery was carrying a large box on his back against the sun, and delivered the express mail door to door. The cleaning aunt was cleaning up the debris floating in the fountain while looking at the strange girl at the entrance of the community.
This strange girl is Akemi, who is holding her suitcase but can't find a home. Akemi is very envious of everyone in the community, who has their own happy family and lives a happy life. And I live in the school all the year round, and occasionally I don't go home, but a cold house. It's such a house, and you have to change places often, and Mr. Ming will move every time he changes the women around him. Akemi has forgotten where they lived in 2008, only remembering that it was this community. I haven't been back a few times, although I have a door key in my pocket, and the key is written on the number of several floors, but I don't remember how many units of the building.
"I'm at the gate of Xiangyun Yaju Community, I don't have a key, where are you? If I don't come back, I'll go to live with my classmates. Akemi reluctantly dialed her father's number, and her father's number was not stored in the phone, but Akemi had remembered his phone number for so many years, and it was hard to forget.
"Akemi, wait a minute, I'll send a driver to pick you up right away. Night......" Dad said excitedly, but was interrupted by Akemi.
"I don't have time at night, I don't want to participate in any kind of dinner party, just ask the driver to help me carry my luggage upstairs, I can't stay for a few days, you don't have to come back." After speaking, without waiting for her father to say anything, Akemi hung up the phone. Everything is more important than her daughter, and Akemi cried when she thought of this.
When she was first diagnosed with terminal cancer, her father really broke Akemi's heart completely. Mr. Ming, who was high-minded, only briefly inquired about his condition, and immediately instructed the lawyer to draft a document asking Mingmei to donate the company's shares to Mr. Ming. Dad's biggest concern is not his daughter, but his property, his company, he is afraid that Mingguo will get these shares after Akemi's death, and he is afraid that his money will flow into the pockets of outsiders. Ming Guo changed his surname, kowtowed and called his father, but Mr. Ming always thought that Ming Guo was an outsider. When this pile of equity transfer documents was placed in front of Akemi, Akemi was so angry that she wanted to die immediately. In that quarrel, they smashed everything in the house that could be dropped!
They also quarreled once over equity, that time before Mingmei got married, and Ming always said that he must give Mingmei a part of the company's shares before marriage, and to do premarital property justice, and sign a prenuptial agreement in favor of Ming's family. said that this was done to prevent Ming Guo from having ulterior motives, to prevent Ming Guo and Ming Mei from divorcing in the future, and Ming Guo from sharing the Ming family's property. For this matter, Mr. Ming even threatened Mingmi's life and safety, and the greedy and hypocritical villain's face is still fresh in Akemi's memory.
After waiting for a while, Mr. Ming came back in person, and did not let anyone else help, and the old man helped his daughter pull the suitcase by himself. Looking at the meaning of this retreat, there must be something to tell his daughter when he arrives at home.
Sure enough, when Mingmei's shoes were halfway off and she was nesting up to change her slippers, Mr. Ming spoke: "It's hard to come back, let's have a meal with my father!" Don't change your slippers and go now. “
Akemi insisted on changing into slippers and said as she walked to the bedroom, "I just came back from the hospital and I'm not feeling well, so I'm not going." These dinners are arranged just so that I can go on a blind date, don't bother, I won't marry those sons and brothers you said, and I don't need to meet, these people can always be seen in gossip magazines. "
Mr. Ming's angry temper came up again after three sentences, and he shouted: "I asked you to eat with me, is this matter difficult?" It's not hard. What is filial piety, is obedience! You said you were about to have a final exam, and if you didn't do a good job at school, what were you doing when you came back? It's still a target.,A girl, you're looking for a partner yourself? Am I okay with that? I don't blame you for that, you still talk to me like that. "
Akemi wanted to close the bedroom door and keep this quarrel out of the door, and the quarrel was all Luo Quan talk, back and forth. But Akemi didn't do that, she turned around and looked her dad in the eye. The father was startled, and his daughter's gaze made him feel at the bottom of his heart, and Mr. Ming was speechless for a while.
"You are my father, although I don't want to talk to you, but I can't escape, I no longer choose cowardly escape, I choose to face you. First, I will not live according to your wishes, I will follow my own path in life, and you think that kind of happiness is hell for me. If you do this, it will only make us quarrel endlessly, and it will make me angry with cancer. Second, I'm not afraid of you, you don't have to lose your temper with me if you have nothing to do, it's useless. It will only make me hate you more and want to leave you more. Third, it is advice, you like to listen to it or not, the real estate project you want to invest in should not be too big, only for the short term, if you make a long-term investment, you will go bankrupt in seven years. The money you love the most will be away from you, and you will have nothing. After saying that, Akemi walked into the bedroom and closed the door, why did she say the third one? Akemi secretly asked herself in her heart, she loved and hated her father, and she really didn't know if she loved more or hated more. Maybe I can't bear to see my father lose his life's property after losing his daughter, and it will be my father's most tragic old age.
Mr. Ming recalled the three things his daughter said, and sat on the sofa with his ass, feeling that his daughter had changed, and it was different from before, but he couldn't say anything different. The third piece of advice seems to be her daughter's concern for herself or the company, and this change has given Mr. Ming some comfort. Mr. Ming took out his mobile phone and made three calls, the first one was to his mistress, saying that he was going to accompany his daughter and not go out. The second call was made to a friend, saying that my daughter was not feeling well and that the blind date would be arranged later. The third call was to the secretary and asked the housekeeper to find a skilled nanny to have dinner at home with her daughter in the evening.
According to Mr. Ming's arrangement, the father and daughter had a home-cooked meal of four dishes and one soup, and each dish was Mingmei's favorite. At the dinner table, no one spoke, and they were able to eat a meal quietly, and there were only two people, Dad and Akemi, and this was the first time in my memory.
After the meal, Akemi made two cups of tea and took out one to her father, but there was still no verbal communication during the whole process.
Before going to bed, Dad took out an overdraft card and put it on the head of Mingmei's bed, saying, "This is your birthday gift last year, because I didn't give it to you because of the quarrel, I gave it to you today, don't wronged yourself, buy whatever you want when you're in love." If your boyfriend is bullying you, you must tell your father. ”
Dad's words reminded Akemi that Akemi's boyfriend in 2008 was Zhang Wenhao, a college classmate.
