Chapter 281 Wishful Thinking

Needless to say, the person who called Su Mingcheng was undoubtedly Zhu Li. Otherwise, his expression would not be so complicated. After all, he was full of confidence and thought about getting rich and getting it back, but now he has lost everything and has nothing. How can he not be complicated?

As for the look in Su Daqiang's eyes, he felt that there was a reason for Su Daqiang's situation to develop to this point. After all, as long as his biological father is not at his home, there will be no messy things like keeping accounts and paying back money. And because of Su Daqiang, he and Zhu Li had quarreled several times, which was emotionally draining.

After all, his dearest mother didn't deserve to die, otherwise he wouldn't be so miserable and unlucky. But everyone was dead, and it was useless no matter how much he said, so he resigned to his fate.

After leaving the community, he took a taxi to the appointed coffee shop. Julie was already waiting. Su Mingcheng saw at a glance the woman they once owned each other and were one and the same.

Taking a deep breath, Su Mingcheng walked to sit across from Zhu Li. Zhu Li was stunned for a moment: "You're here." The two of them have been sleeping in the same bed for many years, and they are no longer familiar with each other. Seeing each other again now felt like a different person to her. The familiar yet unfamiliar feeling made her a little at a loss.

"Here we come." Su Mingcheng looked at Zhu Li, and then looked away unnaturally.

"Waiter." Julie called and said, "What are you drinking?"

Su Mingcheng said politely to the waiter: "American style, thank you."

The waiter nodded, responded and left.

Only Zhu Li and Su Mingcheng were left sitting by the window, relatively speechless. Occasionally their eyes would meet, but they would quickly look away. This is the first time we have met after the divorce. The relatives who once knew every inch of their skin have become strangers sitting across from each other but thousands of miles apart. They are not used to it.

Silence, silence all the time, no one spoke first, they all seemed to be looking at the person opposite, stuck in memories and unable to extricate themselves. Until the waiter who served the coffee broke the silence.

Su Mingcheng took the coffee and took a sip. He smacked his lips and felt the bitterness in his mouth. He put down the coffee and sighed, and said, "Do you want to see me for anything?"

The awkward silence ended, and Julie, who was at a loss, let out a sigh of relief and started with a clichéd opening: "How have you been lately?"

"It's good." Su Mingcheng's eyes wandered and he didn't look at her: "The factory is very busy and is still expanding its recruitment. Nowadays, people are not reliable. I am busy looking for people every day."

Zhu Li looked at the tough-talking Su Mingcheng and told the truth: "I called Xiao Lin and he told me everything."

Su Mingcheng was a little embarrassed when what he said was exposed, not to mention that the woman sitting in front of him was the woman who had tried so hard to persuade him. As a result, he didn't listen to the advice and insisted on going his own way. He ended up in his current situation, which he cannot face calmly. He didn't know what to say, so he just drank the bitter coffee to hide it.

Looking at his look, Julie knew that he was embarrassed and continued: "Have you been looking for a job again recently?"

"I applied for a few jobs, and the conversations were pretty good, but they just didn't want me."

"You have so many years of work experience and you are doing well. Finding a new job shouldn't be a big problem."

Su Mingcheng sighed: "Let's see and then talk." He already had some hunch that it was Manager Zhou who was messing with him, but he was still not sure and had no definite information. I thought I might as well take another look, just in case I was wrong.

After pondering for a moment, he continued in a low tone: "I'm sorry, I should have listened to you. Without you, I can't do anything well."

Julie was quite emotional. When she heard this, tears welled up in her eyes. She was really wronged. But she has absolutely no intention of renewing her relationship. She has thought about it a lot recently and really can't continue.

"Forget it, now that things have happened, let the past go and treat it as the tuition fees paid on the way to growth. I still hope that you can learn from experience and lessons, and you will be better when encountering things in the future. Think carefully before making a decision.”

"It's pretty good now. I can find a job and it's enough for me to live on. One person has enough to eat and the whole family is not hungry."

"I came to you today to tell you something." Zhu Li took a deep breath and got to the point: "I sold our wedding house. The market for the house is very good now, and the price I sold it for is even lower. It was sold in less than two weeks. The price has also increased a lot compared to when I bought it, and it was sold for 1.7 million after refinancing."

Su Mingcheng remained silent.

Julie turned sideways and took out a bank card from the small bag on the seat next to her: "This is the bank card you applied for before. There is 1.05 million in it. Take it." As he spoke, he The card was placed on the table and pushed in front of Su Mingcheng.

Looking at the card in front of him, Su Mingcheng frowned. He knew that Zhu Li still took what he said seriously and really wanted to owe them the Su family. From this, it seems even more ridiculous to think that he could get people back if his investment was successful and he had money.

But after all, they got divorced and his investment was defrauded. It was meaningless to say that. Su Mingcheng shook his head: "No, I can't have it. We agreed during the divorce that the house is yours. I have done so many ridiculous things. Let me be a man for once and give me some face, and you can take it back."

"The wedding room where we got married was paid for by your mother. There is also money that we owe dad, which we spent together and still haven't paid off yet. There are two hundred thousand here that I paid back to dad. .You know my character, don’t embarrass me, just take it.”

Julie stood up, put on her coat, and carried her small bag: "This is all I have to do with you. Let's be fine from now on. Let's go." After saying this, she turned around and left without any regret.

She also struggled a lot to make this decision. After all, she is an ordinary person from a small family, and one million is a considerable amount of wealth. But after much deliberation, he decided to give the money to Su Mingcheng. In fact, there was nothing wrong with her taking it all. After all, the divorce agreement was clearly written, and besides, the seven years of youth he spent with Su Mingcheng were money. But she, Zhu Li, wanted to be strong and not owe anyone else anything. From then on, it was a clean break.

Su Mingcheng watched her go to the bar to pay, watched her walk out of the coffee shop, watched her cross the road, watched her get on the bus and disappear, then looked at the card in front of him, playing a movie in his mind, all from the time they met until now. Bit by bit, my eyes became wet with tears, filled with regret...

After a while, Su Mingcheng had almost finished reminiscing. He took out his cell phone and called his father: "Hey Dad, where are you?"

"Okay, you ask the agent to make an appointment with the landlord, and we will buy the house today."

"Just leave it alone, just hang up."

After hanging up the phone, Su Mingcheng took a sip of the cold bitter coffee in front of him, wiped away his tears, picked up the card on the table, stood up and left.

After a lot of twists and turns, under the witness of the intermediary, the deal was finally completed for 5.75 million, the contract was signed, and the keys to the house were taken away directly. Although the procedures have not been completed and the loan has been applied for, there will be no problems. The landlord is also a cheerful person. After the property was delivered, he immediately asked them to pack up their things and buy furniture to live in.

Regarding buying a house, including the money from selling the old house and the money for investment and financial management, Su Daqiang had a total of 1.7 million in hand. This time he paid 1.5 million to buy the house, and Su Mingcheng paid for the rest. Su Mingcheng took out a total of 500,000 yuan, and paid a little more for the down payment. The tens of thousands more could be used to buy furniture for Su Daqiang.

In the original play, after selling the house, Zhu Li gave Su Mingcheng 750,000 yuan. But this time, because of Wang Yan, house prices rose, and a lot more were sold. In addition, after having gnawed half a million yuan over the years, Julie couldn't bear it, so she gave so much.

In the original play, the old Su family, including Su Mingyu, gathered together to witness that Su Mingcheng used the money to pay off the debt owed to Su Daqiang, and used the remaining money to buy a house for Su Daqiang. But it's different now. Su Mingzhe was drunk all day long in America, and Su Mingyu ignored them at all, so there were no such things. The matter of buying a house had been agreed before. Su Mingzhe would pay the monthly payment and Su Mingcheng would find a nanny.

Although the monthly payment is different, he is still around to take care of her, so it's worth it both inside and out.

The difference is that this time, because Su Mingcheng didn't pay for the extra down payment, the loan in Su Daqiang's name could only last for seven years, and the monthly payment of 40,000 to 50,000 was too high. In the end, there was no choice. After discussing with Su Mingzhe from the United States, the house was written in Su Mingcheng's name. When the time came, Su Mingzhe would have to send the materials back to assist with the repayment. After all, Su Mingcheng's qualifications were not very good, and it would be difficult to bring so much money. In fact, the best thing is for Su Mingzhe to come back and write his name directly to save trouble. But Su Mingzhe just didn't want to and would never come back.

In the end, he took out a loan in Su Mingcheng's name for twenty years, and the monthly payment dropped to more than 20,000. Although the boss Su Daqiang is not happy, he has already explained it and will notarize his ownership later, so forget it.

It was already evening when everything was done. Su Daqiang happily took the house purchase contract and wanted to go to the home furnishing mall to buy furniture. He couldn't wait to move in today. It was Su Mingcheng who took Su Daqiang to a restaurant for dinner on the pretext of celebrating.

In the restaurant, the father and son ordered a few dishes and sat across from each other. Su Daqiang looked at the house purchase contract with one hand and gestured with his thumb with the other hand: "Oh, Mingcheng, okay, now you have fulfilled dad's dream. Dad was right about you, good son."

Su Mingcheng looked at his biological father, who had never had such a kind father since his mother's death. He just shook his head and smiled. He knew his father's behavior, a typical force, a player who uses people to go forward and not people to go behind. He took a bite of food and asked Said: "Dad, I don't owe you money this time, right?"

Su Daqiang nodded repeatedly: "No, no, you gave me an extra 100,000 yuan. Dad knows that you are filial."

"Okay, let's eat quickly. The house belongs to you and you can't run away."

"Mingcheng, Dad is so happy." Su Daqiang put his hand on his chest with a look of relief.

"Your face is so red, no one can see it. Eat quickly, the food will not taste good after a while."

"Eat, eat." Su Daqiang picked up a piece of food with chopsticks and smacked the food: "Don't say it, Mingcheng, I feel better now and my meal tastes better."

Su Mingcheng didn't say anything, and said while eating: "If you go shopping for furniture tomorrow, do you want me to follow you?"

"No, no, just let me go with your Uncle Nie. He can also help me with my advice."

Knowing that his biological father was pretending to be caring, Su Mingcheng nodded and said nothing more, eating and drinking by himself.

Su Daqiang was happy and got a bottle of beer to drink. After eating for a while, he thought of serious matters and asked, "Mingcheng, where did you get that money? Who can lend you so much money?"

"Given it by Lili."

"Julie? Did she give it to you?" Su Daqiang was surprised and continued to ask: "She was the one who called you at that time? What happened?"

"Didn't the house go to her? She sold it. She said that you and my mother paid the down payment when we bought the house. Now that the house is sold, it should be divided among you."

"Oh, that's right. How much did she give you?"

"One million and fifty thousand."

Su Daqiang rolled his eyes: "What about the rest?"

"What do you want to do? Didn't I agree to find a nanny for you? We can keep the rest for emergencies."

"When you find a live-in nanny, you have to pay wages and take care of food and housing, so you can't do it. Besides, I'm in good health now, and I'm not old and can't move. Why can I find a nanny when I can live by myself? You can give me the money directly." How good I am.”

Su Mingcheng shook his head: "This is all agreed upon and cannot be changed. Besides, you are getting older, your legs and feet are weak, and you have high blood pressure. If something happens, I won't be with you right now. I will find out What should we do if we don't get it in time? Besides, if you cook your own food, what if the water, electricity, gas, etc. are not ready and something happens to you? It's good to have a nanny to look after you. Whatever happens can be solved as soon as possible, so we can rest assured. "

Su Daqiang fought hard: "That's not to say, I'm in good health and can run and jump. I'm not an old fool, what could happen to me? Your mother has been watching you all my life. I just want some freedom now. I just want to live by myself. Don’t worry, son, I’m fine living by myself. As long as you and Mingzhe can repay the mortgage steadily, I don’t have anything else to worry about.”

"Then let's put it this way, you don't have to find a nanny." Su Mingcheng said: "In this case, I don't have anywhere to live now anyway, so I live with you in the new house. This way, isn't it the best of both worlds? What do you think, dad?"

"Eat, eat, it won't taste good if it gets cold." Su Daqiang certainly didn't want to live with Su Mingcheng anymore, otherwise why would he bother with this?

Su Mingcheng smiled and drank a glass of wine by himself without saying anything more. Although he and Julie parted ways and had nothing to do with each other, he was very sad. But now that he has taken the money and made arrangements for his biological father, the rest is for him to live on his own. He can feed himself and the whole family will not be hungry, which is quite comfortable. He didn't think about finding another wife or anything. After all, although he still had more than 500,000 yuan in hand, the money was not enough to buy a house or a car. Not to mention whether he was with him or not, even if he was, it would be a drag. Besides, he also needs to heal his wounds now and needs to take some time off.

On this day, Su Mingcheng was drunk, and Su Daqiang, who was a little drunk, went to great lengths to get him back. One of them was upset and slept like a pig, while the other was happy but tossed and turned and stayed up half the night...

In the following time, Su Daqiang followed Lao Nie all day long. After planning the specific arrangements, he began to wander around the home furnishing mall to buy furniture. He still has 200,000 yuan in hand. When buying furniture, he is not ambiguous at all.

Su Mingcheng continued to interview for jobs, but was rejected again and again. At the same time, I have to deal with house matters, which makes me quite busy every day. After being constantly rejected and interviewing with almost all similar companies in Suzhou, Su Mingcheng understood. It was indeed Manager Zhou who was using tricks and tricks. Manager Zhou promised that as long as he still wants to work in this industry, he will not be allowed to have a bite of food.

Su Mingcheng had no choice. Although he cursed, he could only admit that he really couldn't beat Manager Zhou. But he didn't want to leave Gusu. After all, he wasn't young anymore and he still had a father here. He couldn't bear to leave his hometown. He has no experience in other things, he is old, and no one wants him. In the end, just like in the original drama, I borrowed a car from a friend and started working as an online ride-hailing driver. However, he has no toughness and does whatever he wants. Anyway, the car belonged to a friend and he didn’t have the money to rent the car. He still had the money that Julie had given him before, so he didn’t do much to work on it and was just dawdling around.

Of course, this time Su Mingcheng didn't think that he couldn't afford to lose. He still thought that the culprit that caused him to be where he was today was Manager Zhou. If Manager Zhou hadn't aroused his idea of ​​investing, why would he have wanted to invest? If he didn't want to invest, why would he have borrowed money everywhere and even deceived his own father? In the end, he invested secretly without telling Julie, and his marriage broke up after a big quarrel. Moreover, Manager Zhou also targeted him, making it difficult for him to survive, so he could only work as an online ride-hailing driver. Although there was something wrong with his own father, he couldn't do anything about it even though he was his father, but he was very dissatisfied with Manager Zhou and held a grudge.

During this period, the house was also settled, and Su Daqiang had already moved in. The first thing he bought was a bed, and he moved it directly from the apartment Su Mingcheng rented, and then he bought all the necessary furniture one after another. It's all delivered to your door and comes with installation included, so he doesn't have to worry about it, he can just stand aside and watch the instructions.

Su Mingcheng just went over every now and then to take a look, just to fulfill his responsibilities as a son. Even though he was generous with his money, in fact he still didn't like to see his biological father very much and couldn't stand it. On the one hand, it was for nothing, and on the other hand, he had no hope. Anyway, the money from selling the house after Su Daqiang died would still be his.

By the time the house work was completely finished, it was already a month later, in the middle of 18 years.

In Shanghai, a loft on the top floor of a mid-range residential complex.

"Sure enough, you are right, rich men are bad men." Wu Fei, still blushing, hid under the quilt with her shoulders half exposed, leaning against the man's body, feeling his strong body with her palms.

The man is naturally a man named Wang who is elegant but not obscene, and has more grace and strength.

During this month, Wu Fei couldn't stand his daughter's crying, so he went to Suzhou again, and Wang further felt something unusual.

It's not that Wang Yan likes the new and hates the old, but it's too familiar and lacks passion. It's just coping, and a lot of fun is missing, which is not good. So I was very quiet and restless. I went on two business trips to Shanghai and had two meals with Wu Fei, so everything went smoothly and naturally. A man who just wants to live a relaxed life and raise his daughter to be a healthy adult. One just wants to be fresh and comfortable. As long as you express the meaning, you will understand it naturally.

Wang Yan has always been shameless and does not shy away from talking about love affairs. So how many women can refuse the confession of a man who may be the richest man in the world? What's more, she is a beautiful woman with such beautiful thoughts.

There is not much distance between men and women. The only difference is a bit of wealth, power, and a bit of unique and addictive charm.

Playing with the little baby in his hand, hoping to give him the strength to grow, Wang Yan smiled and said, "Do you like good men or bad men?"

Feeling the mischievous hand moving down, Wu Fei became angry and swatted it away angrily: "I hate it, I can't help it anymore." Of course she liked the bad man in front of her. She had thought about it before, but now after some in-depth exchanges and personal experience of this man's power, she became even more envious and jealous of Su Mingyu. How could He De meet such a man who was not only rich and powerful, but also profound and broad? A man with wisdom and knowledge and a strong body.

With a chuckle, Wang Yan took out his hand and hugged Wu Fei, playing with his hair with his fingertips: "Someone will come over to hand over this house to you tomorrow, and I will give you another five million to spend first."

This isn't price gouging, it's just too much money to burn. It doesn't matter how much Wu Fei can spend. He just wants to be clean and comfortable. He can't take the money away, so he just wants to be happy. As for the house, as early as a month ago, someone bought it after discovering something a little strange about Wu Fei.

"Yeah." Wu Fei responded softly. Although Wang Yan is excellent, to put it bluntly, behind this excellence, there are more things like this, and these are the guarantees she wants.

It's not that she is vain of material things. After all, if that were the case, how could she have a child with Su Mingzhe after so many years? It's just that her marriage has failed and she is raising a child alone, which makes her understand the reality and she doesn't want to go back to the past. Poor and humble couples are in decline, and love is not as good as real protection. She is over thirty years old and has a child. She doesn't think much about love and love, but with real protection, love and love are the lubricant.

"Do you want to work? I can arrange a free time for you, and save your children from going to school. You have no fun at home. You can also go to work and make friends. If you want to do something by yourself, I will give you some money as start-up capital. "Since he is in a good family, he, Wang, will naturally be responsible, and one-stop arrangements must be made in place.

After a long silence, Wu Fei said, "Let's find a class. I don't have much ambition, I just want to live a stable life."

"Of course, someone will contact you when the time comes." With Long Teng's strength, various partners can basically go wherever they want. Wang Yan was thinking of finding a serious job in a state-owned enterprise, which would provide him with an iron job and leisure time, which was just right. Moreover, Wu Fei himself has a high level of education and is considered a returnee from overseas. Although he worked as a receptionist abroad, his abilities are pretty good. He should have some skills.

Nodding, Wu Fei sighed: "I'm sorry Mingyu... How can we let the two children play together in the future..."

"It's my problem, you don't have to think too much." Wang Yan had this in mind: "It's okay."

Wu Fei responded and said after a long silence: "Are you still leaving today?"

"Don't you have to go back and take care of the child? I'll be back in a moment." Today is Friday. Wang Yan ran over here after class in the morning. After working hard all afternoon, it was already late in the evening when he went back.

After being gentle for a while, Wang Yan got up, packed up, dressed neatly, and said goodbye to Wu Fei. He went downstairs and took a taxi and went straight to the train station. He took the high-speed rail here by himself without notifying anyone else, and the high-speed rail was faster and less troublesome than driving.

In the room, Wu Fei hugged the quilt and looked at the ceiling blankly, smiling sometimes and feeling sad at other times. She also knew that Wang Yan was interested in her body, and she was already thirty-three this year. She didn't know how long it would last, and she was worried about gains and losses. But in the end, the smile is all that's left. The money is enough, and it doesn't matter if it doesn't last long. And she has no plans to marry anyone anymore. Except for Su Mingyu's debt, everything is fine. Based on her good foundation, does it matter whether she owes Su Mingyu or not?

When I got home, it was already past eight o'clock, and Su Mingyu and the little girl were playing with toys.

"Dad." Seeing Wang Yan, the little girl ran over and threw herself into her father's arms: "Why didn't you pick me up today?"

"Dad has been very busy recently and went to the Shanghai Stock Exchange again."

"Then can you take me with you next time? I want to play with Xiaomi and not go to kindergarten."

Wang Yan smiled and scratched his daughter's nose: "You just don't want to go to kindergarten."

Wang Lin chuckled, resting her head on her father's shoulder, twisting back and forth coquettishly.

"You're overthinking it. It's impossible not to go to kindergarten. Have you forgotten? When dad is working, Xiaomi will also go to kindergarten there. You go to find Xiaomi and go to kindergarten in another place. Okay. , come down quickly, I’ve gained a lot of weight recently, and dad can’t even hold her anymore.”

Although she was indeed chubby, Wang Lin was still very unhappy when her biological father said she was fat. She snorted and flicked her pigtails, showing that she was not as knowledgeable as her biological father.

"Dad teased you, why are you still angry..."

Su Mingyu coaxed the child for a while, watched her play with toys, and asked Wang Yan, "What have you been busy with these days? You have been to the Shanghai Stock Exchange several times."

"It's nothing. I just recently started some cooperation with the Shanghai Municipal Government. The positions of my subordinates are not equal, so I, the boss, have to take action." Wang Yan answered casually, very naturally. There is definitely cooperation. As the economic center of Shanghai, how can it be reasonable to have less contact? Of course it's not deception, it's a well-intentioned concealment.

Su Mingyu nodded. She just asked casually without any other meaning. After all, Long Teng's business was so big, she understood that in the past, Wang Yan would go on business trips every now and then, but it was only in recent years that he settled down.

"Have you eaten? I left some for you in the kitchen."

"Eat, something to eat while waiting for the train at the train station." Wang Yan said, "Okay, you play with the children while I go wash up."

A family of three, harmonious and warm. The parent-child activities are over, the girl is coaxed to sleep, and the wife is forcefully arranged. At the end of the day, I close my eyes to welcome the new life tomorrow...
