Mingyu tied the black gauze prepared in his pocket to Lu Ze's left arm before getting into the car, and Lu Ze, who was sitting in the co-pilot, felt that the back of the seat behind him seemed to be specially adjusted, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart The intimacy of Mingyu's sister.

After going to college, Su Mingyu broke off relations with the Su family.

It's not for nothing that she's been able to get all the way to where she is now.

Careful thinking has become a formula.

It is about an hour and a half drive from Pudong Airport to Suzhou.

Probably not wanting to disturb the rest of the eldest brother next to him, Mingyu answered a work call while driving, but quickly hung up.

"You can talk to Mr. Liu about the promotion of the southwest region."

"I'm not convenient here."

"Yes, that's it."

Noticing that Lu Ze was half-lying on the seat without closing his eyes, Mingyu turned his head to look at it and smiled, and said apologetically, "Did it affect you, big brother?" It's okay for you to continue to rest, it will take a while to get to Dad's. ”

Lu Ze smiled and shook his head: "I slept on the plane for a long time, and I wasn't very sleepy." ”

"I haven't seen you for so long, so I just have time to talk."

Su Mingyu didn't expect that after seeing his eldest brother, he found that he was far calmer than he imagined, after all, he was dealing with the death of his mother when he returned to China, and his mother was most concerned about these two sons in the past.

Thinking of this, a hint of darkness flashed on Su Mingyu's face.

It was a love she had never enjoyed.

"Big brother, I have to tell you about my mother's sudden death."

"The hospital said that it was because of excessive fatigue and overexcitement that led to a sudden large-scale cerebral infarction, and our mother returned home after playing mahjong all night for a week, and suddenly fainted without saying a word after entering the door."

Su Mingyu sighed slightly: "Dad panicked when he encountered this situation. ”

"I didn't call 120 at the first time, I ran to call the neighbor to carry our mother to the side of the road, and the passing taxi saw this situation where he dared to stop, and waited for a while before he met a kind person and sent him to the hospital."

"And Dad even waited for Mom to let us know when she was angry."

"The first person to be notified is you, who are far away in the United States."

Lu Ze roughly knew the course of things.

But today, Mingyu's words made him understand what the details were like.

Thinking that he might have to meet that cheap dad Su Daqiang later.

A trace of strangeness flashed on Lu Ze's face.

Lao Su, a wild old boy, wouldn't think about it now just how to go back to the United States with me, right?

......

After more than an hour, he finally came to Su Mingcheng's house.

Along the way, Lu Ze chatted with Mingyu for a long time, and the strange feeling that stood in front of the two of them at the beginning gradually disappeared.

Su Mingyu didn't expect that his eldest brother had changed so much in the United States in the past ten years, and he was not at all the angry book he was at the beginning.

There is a different temperament in conversation and demeanor.

It seems that the eldest brother has been doing well in California over the years.

In the whole family, her best relationship is actually this eldest brother who has excelled in learning since he was a child.

It's just that Su Mingyu's originally warm heart instantly became cold again when he entered Ming Cheng's house.

For herself, the titular second brother, she doesn't have a good impression at all.

Su Mingcheng was a thirty-year-old man with not very good skin, and after seeing Lu Ze, he said softly, "Brother." ”

didn't pay attention to Su Mingyu who came in.

As soon as Lu Ze entered the door, before he had time to say hello, he saw Su Daqiang, who was sitting on the sofa stiffly, get up quickly, and the old man ran towards Lu Ze with a sad look on his face, and his voice sounded a little desolate.

"Hey, young! My eldest son, you're back! ”

Su Daqiang hugged Lu Ze tightly and didn't let go, as if he had found his backbone.

Lu Ze's sense of smell is very keen now.

In close contact, Lu Ze could clearly feel the sour smell surrounding this cheap father.

Figure you old...

Figure you don't take a shower...

After a few words of simple reassurance, Lu Ze helped Su Daqiang to sit down, and then looked at Ming Cheng and Zhu Li who were standing on the other side.

After Su Mingcheng saw his eldest brother, he seemed to be reminded by his father's crying just now, and remembered what happened in his hometown back then, and the man's eyes suddenly turned red.

I saw that Ming Cheng also stepped forward, and hugged Lu Ze tightly.

"Brother."

"You're back..."

Lu Ze gently patted Mingcheng's back and nodded slightly towards Zhu Li.

"Sit down."

"Let's sit down and discuss the rest of the matter."

"Mingyu, you sit too."

Lu Ze gave Mingyu, who was standing at the door against the wall after entering the door, and the latter slowly moved to sit on the side of the single sofa on the other side, everyone's eyes were on Lu Ze, and they all felt the changes of the boss of the Su family over the years.

Su Daqiang took Lu Ze's hand stiffly, and his eldest son is now his reliance.

Wild Old Boy is undoubtedly a master of the wind and the rudder.

After being married for so many years, he has been pressed on his head by his wife Zhao Meilan and can't breathe, and now that his wife has died suddenly, he is like an active fish entering the sea, able to breathe and swim freely.

The second son, Su Mingcheng, is naturally an unreliable master.

Su Daqiang stayed with him, and he was even afraid that this little son would beat his idea of pension money.

And his daughter Su Mingyu's temperament is somewhat similar to his wife Zhao Meilan, and the original daughter also claimed to have broken off relations with the family in front of him and his daughter-in-law.

Although Lao Su knew that Mingyu was mixing well now, he didn't dare to ask his daughter.

Because he knew that he had not fulfilled his responsibilities as a father at all.

Now, our poor Daqiang naturally set his sights on his eldest son, who had just returned to China.

That's you!

"Mingzhe, what the hell do you think I'm going to do? After your mother is gone, will no one take care of me at home? Then what's the point of me living, I might as well go with your mother. ”

Daqiang cried heartbroken.

If it was the original Su Mingzhe, who had a soft and good face, he would be able to agree to all the unreasonable demands of the wild old boy, and he would not consider the feelings of his wife and children in the United States at all.

It's a pity that Lu Ze wants to rectify this cheap daddy.

"It's All Good" Su Daqiang, the source of all kinds of contradictions in the world!

"Oh, how could it be."

"Now you have a lot of pension in your hand, and you still have a house as big as your family."

"It's right to enjoy the happiness in the future."

Mention the old yard.

Su Daqiang cried even louder: "I won't go back to my hometown!" ”

"I won't be able to sleep at all after I go back, so I'd better live with you."

Su Mingcheng wiped his face with toilet paper, and after hearing his father's words, he sniffed hard and asked Lao Su's heart directly: "Then which of us do you want to live with?" ”

Lao Su first glanced at his youngest son.

"In the past, your mother and I often came to Mingcheng's house to help clean up."

"She used to sit on the big red bench on the balcony and bask in the sun, and I could always see her when I looked up. I'm really scared, I haven't slept at night for the past few days, as if your mother is lying on the balcony. I don't dare to live in Mingcheng's house. ”

Su Mingyu could see some of his father's thoughts.

"You don't dare to live in the old house, you are also afraid of living in Su Mingcheng's house, you must not adapt to the life of the eldest brother in the United States, only you have not been to my house, and I definitely have no trace of my mother's shadow there. It's still a separate villa over there, and there is definitely a room for you to sleep. ”

Su Daqiang saw Mingyu slowly sitting beside him after getting up, and involuntarily shrank to Lu Ze's side, and even clenched his eldest son's hand, as if he was looking for something to rely on.

The old man didn't seem to dare to look at Mingyu at all, just as he usually didn't dare to look at his wife.

He had always been afraid of this daughter, and when he saw her, he panicked for no reason.

"Mingzhe..."

"Can I go to the United States with you?"

"I can help you take care of the children or something when the time comes."

"What do you think?"

Su Daqiang set his eyes on Lu Ze for help.

"Of course."

Lu Ze smiled and agreed.

He then said casually: "It's just that I'm afraid that you won't be used to living over there." ”

Su Daqiang smiled so much that his mouth reached the root of his ears at this time, waved his hand excitedly, and said, "It's okay, your life in a big city over there must be good." ”

"It's been a bit rough on our side lately, so you have to be careful when you go out."

Lu Ze smiled and gestured with a pistol: "Usually, Fei Fei and I rarely go out, the most important thing is that you have to practice your English well, because most of the communication there is in English." ”

"If something happens to you, no one will understand your cry for help."

Lu Ze said it in a few words, and Su Daqiang's happy expression became a little unnatural.

The old man pulled his hand out of Lu Ze's arms again.

Wild Boy's old face drooped for a long time.

"So what do you say, what am I going to do?"

"I can't go, I can't live, I might as well die!"

It's actually a really good idea.

Lu Ze flashed the words just now in his heart, and then smiled and took the cheap father's hand: "During this time, you will live here in Mingcheng now, and I will go back to the United States after a while to arrange it in advance and find a chance to pick you up." ”

Su Daqiang's mind was very messy at this time.

The idea of following his eldest son abroad was temporarily put on hold.

Lu Ze's words just now still had an effect, Su Daqiang, who was born timid and drilled into the toilet when he encountered something, didn't dare to joke about his own life, after all, he still knew the boss's temperament.

I have always cared about my parents.

Last month, I also made an appointment for him to have a physical examination, and the old man was very happy.

In this way, life outside does not seem to be as good as imagined.

"Okay..."

"Then I'll think about it again in this time."

Su Daqiang suddenly thought of a key thing at this time.

He held Lu Ze's hand tightly: "Mingzhe, why don't you send me home to get something." ”

"What's that?"

"It's just... It's just some change of clothes or something. ”

Su Mingyu on the other side got up directly: "I'll send you there, my eldest brother just got off the plane and sat in the car for more than an hour, let him rest here for a while, Dad, I'll drive you." ”

Su Daqiang didn't want to be alone with his daughter.

"Let Mingzhe accompany me."

"It's been a long time since he's been back to the old mansion to take a look, so it's time to go back and have a look."

Lu Ze echoed, knowing that Comrade Lao Su was worried about the passbook hidden in the old mansion, and he probably wanted to go back to the old mansion when he stayed in Ming Cheng's house these days, and today he finally found a suitable opportunity.

......

Back at the old mansion, Lu Ze looked around at this somewhat unfamiliar place.

Su Mingyu also stood at the door like a stranger, this was her home, but it didn't seem to belong to her at all.

"Mingyu."

"What is the total budget for this mother's funeral?"

On the way back from the airport, Mingyu had already prepared the rest of the things very properly.

Just like when Su's mother is there, she will keep the house in order.

Su Daqiang is so afraid of his little daughter, not for no reason, there are many similarities between the mother and daughter.

In the courtyard, Su Mingyu came to her senses from her memories, and in front of her was the calm face of her eldest brother, she smiled and shook her head: "I don't have much money, I can just pay for this money myself, big brother, don't be so troublesome." ”

Now Su Mingyu is the general manager of Zhongcheng Group's Jiangnan head office.

Zhongcheng Group is a strong local private enterprise in Suzhou, and it is rumored that Zhongcheng is planning to go public recently, which means that the company's development potential and strength have been recognized by the big market.

After going public, Su Mingyu, a veteran of Zhongcheng, is naturally rising.

From a normal girl who worked and studied and cut off relations with her family, to Mr. Ming, who is now very prominent.

Now Su Mingyu speaks with an invisible confidence.

"You don't have to pay for it."

"I'll just split the money with Ming's half-shared."

"And Dad's pension in the future has nothing to do with you."

After hearing Lu Ze's words, Su Mingyu was stunned.

It took a long time for her to come to her senses, and her voice was full of doubts: "Big brother... You... What do you mean? ”

Lu Ze replied with a smile: "Didn't you cut off relations with your family a long time ago?" You haven't spent a penny from your family over the years, and your university studies are free normal universities, so you naturally don't have to bear these things in the back. ”

Severing ties...

Mingyu lowered his head silently: "Big brother, how do you know..."

Lu Ze didn't answer, just turned around and walked into the already dusty room.

Seeing this, Mingyu followed in.

Although there were no people living in the old house for only a few days, the house in the old house now looks like it has been old for many years, and the unpopular house seems to be aging so quickly, and aging is a matter of moment.

This is very similar to people.

In the inner room, after Su Daqiang saw Lu Ze come in, he hurriedly stuffed the red book in his hand into his arms.

The old man laughed: "Mingzhe, Mingyu, why did you come in?" ”

Su Mingyu was still recalling the potential meaning of the eldest brother's words just now.

Lu Ze stepped forward and stretched out his hand directly towards Su Daqiang: "I have seen it all." ”

Su Daqiang reluctantly handed the passbook to Lu Ze, although he knew that his eldest son would not covet his own private money, but he was still the same child as a private toy found by an adult, with his head down and pouting, looking like an old boy.

Lu Ze glanced at it twice and handed it to Mingyu beside him.

At this time, Su Daqiang was a little flustered.

"Mingyu Mingyu, don't take my old book."

"This is my lifeline!"

At this time, Su Mingyu didn't think much about it, and when she saw her father hurriedly walking towards her, she instead held up the passbook in her hand and asked, "Why can't I take it?" ”

"Dad, according to the law, the half of the property that belongs to her after Mom's death, if there is no will, must be taken out and divided among the four of us. Including the house you live in, as well as this passbook. It's a quarter per person..."

"This passbook... Can I get 10,000 dollars? ”

"No, Dad, have you and my mother saved so much money over the years?"

After Su Mingyu looked down at the balance on the passbook, his brows furrowed tightly.

"Oops!"

"Over the years, most of your mother's pension has been given to Ming Cheng and his family."

Su Daqiang was so anxious that he stood on the spot and stomped his feet like an ant on a hot pot, and his eyes when he looked at his eldest son were also complaining, what do you have to show Mingyu for this thing?

My Lao Su's lifeline has been clung to by my daughter-in-law Zhao Meilan all my life.

In his eyes, Mingyu is no less than Zhao Meilan, who is one size younger.

"Really?"

"Su Mingcheng's salary is not low, right, are you still gnawing at the old?"

Su Daqiang looked at his red passbook with blank eyes, and when she heard her daughter's inquiry, she hurriedly nodded: "Really!" I have clearly recorded it all in the account, and each of the three of you has a book, and I will find it for you. ”

Su Daqiang began to rummage through the cardboard boxes under the bed again.

The old man had a good memory, and soon found out three ledgers, two small and one large.

"Mingyu."

"These two small ones belong to you and Mingzhe."

"The big one is Mingcheng."

Lu Ze took the book that belonged to him and read it.

When he saw the first page, he couldn't help but laugh: "Do I keep an account of buying a lollipop?" ”

Su Daqiang smiled embarrassedly: "It's not like when I was a library administrator in the past, I always kept it down and memorized, and then our family spent so much money inside and out, it's really not good to keep accounts." ”

After just finishing speaking, Su Daqiang felt that he had said the wrong thing.

A little nervously looked at Mingyu's expression.

With so much money in the family, strictly speaking, none of them are spent on the youngest daughter.

Fortunately, Mingyu didn't seem too careful.

Su Mingyu looked at her small paper-thin notebook that had stopped recording after high school, and she seemed to recall the sad days at home for so many years, and the expression on her face did not change much.

Then, she picked up Su Mingcheng's book and looked at it.

......

In the evening, Mingyu drove Lu Ze and Su Daqiang to a good high-end restaurant for dinner.

During the banquet, Su Daqiang seemed to have eaten too many delicious things just now, just like a child who couldn't control his mouth when he ate a buffet for the first time, and then ran to the toilet with a paper.

Lu Ze and Mingyu glanced at each other and laughed together.

Not long after, Su Mingyu looked at the eldest brother sitting opposite him and asked softly, "Big brother, what you said in the courtyard of the old mansion this afternoon... What is the meaning? ”

Lu Ze gently wiped the corners of his mouth.

"I mean..."

"Let you be completely cut off from your home."
