Blackening starts from the golden years

Two days later.

Su Daqiang passed the interview successfully and will get a passport to the United States in a week. He was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling. He asked Su Mingcheng to call his elder brother Su Mingzhe to tell him about it so that he could book a ticket to the United States for him in advance. Don't forget to pick him up at the airport when the time comes.

The person who answered the phone was Wu Fei.

……

At this time, in San Francisco, USA, at Su Mingzhe's home.

"okay, I get it."

Wu Fei hung up the phone. At this time, Su Mingzhe came over and asked with a smile:

"Who called?"

"Su Mingcheng."

Wu Fei replied unhappily. Hearing this, Su Mingzhe's expression changed. Looking at him, Wu Fei tried to suppress his anger and asked:

"What did you promise me at that time? Didn't you agree not to let Dad apply for a visa until you found a new job? What do you mean? If I don't answer this call today, have you already brought your dad here without telling me?"

"Here……"

Looking at Wu Fei, Su Mingzhe explained:
"My dad will come sooner or later, so there's nothing wrong with applying for the visa early. Besides, the visa is valid for a long time. When my dad is coming, I can just buy him a plane ticket."

After listening to Su Mingzhe, Wu Fei said angrily:
"I don't think my dad thinks so. He asked me to book a plane ticket and told me not to forget to pick him up at the airport. I think his heart has already flown to the United States."

"I didn't expect that Dad's visa would be processed so quickly."

"Su Mingzhe, you are acting without consulting me. Yes, you are acting without consulting me. You have made up your mind. I don't think you will be able to find a job for a while. You can only bite the bullet and take Dad over. By that time, it will be a done deal, and I will have to bite the bullet and accept it, right?"

"I am a top student who graduated from a prestigious university. Please believe me, I will definitely find a job."

……

(Here I'd like to say that in the drama, Su Mingzhe studied abroad at Stanford University in the United States. I wrote it wrong earlier and wrote Harvard University. Also, Su Mingyu did not get into Tsinghua University, but her grades were very good. Her older brother Su Mingzhe graduated from Tsinghua University, so she also wanted to be admitted to Tsinghua University like her older brother, and then go to the United States to study. However, her mother made her study at a local free teachers' college. Also, her mother Zhao Meilan ran away with another man to Shanghai, not the United States. I wanted to modify the previous text, but it has been locked and cannot be modified anymore, so I'd like to say here that it is a little different from the original drama, but it shouldn't affect the reading, right?)

……

"Speaking of work, let me give you some advice. Can you lower your status?"

"What do you mean?"

Su Mingzhe frowned. It was not that he did not understand what Wu Fei meant, but that he understood it too well.

Looking at him, Wu Fei said:
"Mr. Zhang has taken off his lab uniform to deliver pizzas. And your classmate Cheng Dazhao is also a waiter in a Chinese restaurant in Chinatown. Everyone is trying to make a living. Why can't you learn from them?"

"You want me to learn from them and become a blue-collar worker and do manual labor?"

Su Mingzhe's face was full of anger. It was obvious that he felt that his face and dignity were insulted by Wu Fei. Looking at him, Wu Fei said directly:
"Don't look down on those who do manual labor. They earn as much as you do in a month."

"Okay, okay, I won't say any more. Next month is the recruitment season. I will succeed."

"Su Mingzhe, why can't you give it a try? Do it part-time first. It's better to have an income than no income."

"Because we haven't reached the end of our rope yet, why don't you believe me?"

"Because the current environment is not the right time for you to graduate. As a programmer, you are already very old. Let me ask you, can you learn new things as fast as young people? And with your personality, you can't be a manager."

"What happened to my personality?!"

Su Mingzhe suddenly roared angrily:
"I have worked hard step by step from a small place to where I am today. I will not be eliminated easily and I will never give up!"

"Su Mingzhe you..."

Looking at the angry Su Mingzhe, Wu Fei took a deep breath and finally said softly:
"I give up. I'm going to call my parents right now and send the baby back to China so they can help me take care of it."

As she spoke, she picked up the phone next to her and was about to dial, but Su Mingzhe snatched the phone away and said angrily:
"Wu Fei, what on earth do you want to do?!"

"What do I want to do?"

Looking at Su Mingzhe, Wu Fei cried:
"So that your father can come to the United States, so that you can fulfill your filial duty!"

"My dad came to the United States because he came to the United States. Why are you sending your child away?"

"Because I can't take care of both your dad and the baby at the same time, and I have to work."

"Then are you willing to let the child be separated from us?"

"It's not up to me to decide whether to give up or not. It's reality and life that decide. Who made me marry you? You can't change. I can't divorce you because of this, right?"

"I tell you, the child cannot leave us. The child's growth only happens once and we cannot miss it. Moreover, if the child leaves her parents at such a young age, it will hurt her feelings and affect her mental health."

"Do you think I don't know this? Do you think I'm willing? What can we do now? If you bring your dad here now, we can't afford it. We asked you to find a temporary job first. If you don't want to, I want to send the baby back to China, but you still don't want to. What do you want? Just tell me!"

"I want to bring my dad over!!"

"Okay!! You bring your dad over and I'll send the baby away!!"

Suddenly, there was a thud from upstairs, followed by Xiao Mi's loud crying.

"what--"

Wu Fei and Su Mingzhe were both stunned for a moment, then their faces changed and they quickly ran upstairs.

"what--"

"So much blood, so much blood, the baby is bleeding so much!"

"Hurry, hurry, drive there and take Xiao Mi to the hospital!"

"Xiao Mi——"

"what--"

……

On the other side, Suzhou.

Su Daqiang was about to go to the United States, and Zhu Li took him to the mall to buy clothes. Su Daqiang liked a coat that cost 6,800 yuan, and 4,600 yuan after the discount. Zhu Li wanted to buy it, but Su Mingcheng thought it was too expensive. He frowned, pulled Zhu Li aside and whispered:

"You insisted on bringing Dad here to buy clothes. You said, you, you are in a dilemma because your clothes are so high-end. Six thousand eight hundred, and after the discount, it's still four thousand six hundred. My goodness, this is too expensive."

"Oh, husband, we agreed to let Dad go to the United States happily. It's rare for Dad to like something. Is the price an issue?"

"No, four thousand six. That's a bit too expensive."

"If Dad likes something today, we have to buy it no matter how much it costs."

"Oh my god, you are so domineering. Okay, buy it."

After saying that, Su Mingcheng looked at Su Daqiang who was pretending to look at clothes not far away and asked:

"Dad, do you like this?"

"Too, too expensive."

Su Daqiang pretended to be embarrassed. After folding the clothes and holding them in his hands, Zhu Li looked at him and smiled:
"Dad, it's really nice. I'll go pay for it. It's an event."

Su Mingcheng followed with a smile:

"It only costs more than 4,000 yuan to hold the event, and we can save more than 2,000 yuan. It's not expensive and it's great."

Zhu Li took the clothes to pay the bill, and Su Daqiang's face immediately broke into a smile. He walked up to Su Mingcheng and said with a smile:

"Son, Dad really likes that dress."

"I can see that. I like it too. It's so beautiful."

Looking at Su Daqiang, Su Mingcheng smiled and said:
"So, no matter how much money you spend, buy it just to make you happy."

"Thank you son."

Su Daqiang was laughing. Looking at him, Su Mingcheng said seriously:

"Dad, please don't say that. It's only natural for a son to spend money on his father. Don't ever say thank you again. It makes me feel uncomfortable."

"I can't buy any more. That's enough. I feel so bad about it."

"Dad, don't be polite. Do whatever you want. It's only a few days. I'm going to my eldest brother's place soon. We have to look presentable when we go abroad. We can't lose face for the Chinese people. Besides, I caused you so much trouble when I was a child. Now you are going to the United States. I really don't want to let you go. So, before you go abroad, you can do whatever you want. I love you, Dad, and I will fulfill all your wishes."

Su Mingcheng said nice words, looking at him, Su Daqiang took the opportunity to say:
"Son, Dad really has a wish, you have to fulfill it."

"what?"

Su Mingcheng was stunned and asked blankly:
"What, what wish?"

"Here's what I thought. Before I go to the United States, I want to treat my old colleagues to a good meal at a big hotel, as a farewell dinner, and then I..."

……

At night, Su Mingcheng was at home, in the bedroom.

"My broken mouth, my broken mouth."

Su Mingcheng kept slapping himself on the mouth. Looking at him, Zhu Li couldn't help laughing:
"Alright, alright, isn't it just booking a table in a five-star hotel? It's not a big deal, why are you making such a fuss?"

"Honey, I feel so bad. How can my dad be so stubborn?" "Maybe it's because mom is gone and no one can control him, so he completely let himself go. No wonder mom used to control him so tightly."

After talking about Su Daqiang for a while, Zhu Li looked at Su Mingcheng and said:

"Dad will treat us the day after tomorrow. I'd like to invite Mingyu and Mr. Yuan to come over as well. What do you think?"

"Why did you invite them?"

"Mingyu is my father's daughter after all. I'm going to the United States soon. She bought so many brand-name clothes for me before. She also spent so much money on my mother's funeral. The cemetery alone cost 400,000 yuan. How can we not invite her? And Mr. Yuan, he brings food to your father every day. It would be so rude if we don't invite him."

"Yes, yes, please, please."

……

The next morning, Su Mingcheng got married.

Yuan Xudong came to bring breakfast to Su Daqiang, Su Mingcheng went to work early, and Zhu Li had a day off today.

The glass door of the living room was accidentally broken by Su Daqiang, and Yuan Xudong helped to repair it. The toolbox was missing a hexagonal wrench, so Su Daqiang said he knew the owner of the hardware store downstairs and he wanted to buy it for him.

After Su Daqiang left, Yuan Xudong squatted beside the glass door and looked at the fallen bolt. Zhu Li bent over and looked at him and asked:
"Is this broken?"

"No, it just fell off. Just put it back on."

As he spoke, Yuan Xudong raised his head and looked at Zhu Li beside him. She was bending over and leaning forward. Through the open collar of her white shirt, Yuan Xudong could see the diamond necklace hanging around her neck. It was white and tender, and very beautiful.

Yuan Xudong couldn't help but take a few more glances. She was really so white and tender. At this moment, as if she had noticed his fiery gaze, Zhu Li's pretty face suddenly turned red. She quickly stood up straight and asked with a evasive look:
"You, you want some coffee? Hand-ground."

"No, I don't."

Yuan Xudong imitated Zhu Li's speech and said with a smile:

"Nice necklace, very pretty. Where did you buy it?"

Hearing this, Julie's face turned red. She tried to leave in a panic, but she tripped over a glass door that was lying flat on the ground. She screamed and fell forward.

"what--"

Seeing that she was about to fall on the glass door, Julie closed her eyes in fear.

"careful!"

Yuan Xudong reached out and hugged Zhu Li. He held her waist with one hand and protected the back of her head with the other hand as she fell on the glass door on the ground.

"Hmm~"

Zhu Li hummed softly, her eyes still tightly closed. Looking down at her, Yuan Xudong couldn't help but kiss her tempting red lips.

"Hmm~"

Zhu Li was startled by the sudden kiss and opened her eyes suddenly. She was stunned, staring at Yuan Xudong who was kissing her on the lips with her big innocent eyes.

Before she came to her senses, Yuan Xudong had already climbed up from her. He stretched out his right hand to Zhu Li, who was still lying stupidly on the glass door, and said with concern:

"Lili, are you okay?"

"fine."

Subconsciously holding Yuan Xudong's hand, Zhu Li used the glass door to stand up. She was now a little confused whether Yuan Xudong did it on purpose or unintentionally.

However, whether it was intentional or unintentional, she kissed Yuan Xudong. When she thought of this, Zhu Li felt shy and flustered. She took her hand away from Yuan Xudong, blushing and looking away.

"I, I'll go make some coffee."

After saying that, she ran to the kitchen. Looking at her back, Yuan Xudong couldn't help but smile. He squatted down and continued to work on the bolt.

Not long after, Su Daqiang came back and bought a hexagonal wrench. Yuan Xudong quickly reinstalled the glass door.

"Xiao Yuan, thank you so much for bringing me delicious food every day and repairing this door for me."

"You're welcome, you should."

"I'm going to the United States soon. I'll treat you to a meal at 8 o'clock tomorrow night at the Jin Jiang Hotel. You must come then."

"Okay, okay, definitely, definitely."

Yuan Xudong and Su Daqiang were talking. At this time, Zhu Li came over with two cups of coffee. She looked at Yuan Xudong and Su Daqiang and said with a smile:

"Here comes the coffee, one cup for each person."

"Thank you."

"Thank you, Lili."

After handing the coffee to Yuan Xudong and Su Daqiang respectively, Zhu Li looked at Yuan Xudong and said with a smile:

"Mr. Yuan, thank you for sending delicious food to Dad every day these days. But in a few days, Dad will go to the United States, so you don't have to send him food anymore. Mingcheng and I will take good care of Dad in the last few days."

"okay, I get it."

Yuan Xudong smiled, raised the coffee cup in his hand and said:

“The coffee is good, very tasty.”

"Thank you for the compliment."

Zhu Li smiled and said that she thought it would be better to keep a certain distance from Yuan Xudong to avoid any accidents.

……

San Francisco, U.S.

Xiao Mi was discharged from the hospital. She climbed onto the table to play with building blocks by herself, but accidentally fell off the table and broke her head. Fortunately, it was not serious, which was a blessing in disguise.

Back home, Wu Fei stayed by Xiao Mi's bed and watched her sleep. At this time, Su Mingzhe brought her a glass of water and said softly:

"Drink a glass of water."

Wu Fei ignored him. He gently placed the cup on Xiao Mi's bedside table and looked at Wu Fei and advised:

"Fei Fei, go and have a rest. I'll stay with her."

"Su Mingzhe."

Looking at the bandage on Xiao Mi's head, Wu Fei whispered:

"If you insist on having your dad come over, then we'll separate."

"Fei Fei, my dad..."

Before Su Mingzhe could finish his words, Wu Fei stood up, pushed him out, and locked the door from the inside.

"Fei Fei, what are you doing?"

Listening to Su Mingzhe's voice outside the door, Wu Fei leaned against the door and said:

"Su Mingzhe, think it over carefully. If your father comes to the United States now, I will take Xiao Mi away."

"Fei Fei, can you please be reasonable?"

"Su Mingzhe, I don't want to reason with you anymore. You can decide for yourself whether to choose your dad or me and Xiao Mi."

"Fei Fei, you can't force me."

"Then don't force me."

……

Suzhou.

Eight o'clock in the evening, in a private room of Jinjiang Hotel.

In front of everyone, Su Daqiang looked very proud and said that he actually didn't want to go to the United States, but his eldest son was filial and insisted on taking him to the United States to enjoy a good life. He also said that his youngest daughter Mingyu was capable, sensible, and filial. She is now the general manager of a large company and spent more than 400,000 yuan to buy a cemetery for her mother. She is filial.

These old colleagues used to look down on him, but Su Daqiang invited them all together for dinner today just to show off. He used to be incompetent and was afraid of his wife, but now, his children are capable.

One graduated from a prestigious American university, stayed in the United States to work, got married, had children, and bought a big villa.

One is the general manager of a large company, with an annual income of over one million, and owns a large villa in and outside the city.

As for the more ordinary second son Su Mingcheng, Su Daqiang didn't mention him at the banquet. He even mentioned Yuan Xudong, saying that he was the CEO of a large company and that his cooking was delicious.

Su Daqiang's behavior made Zhu Li a little unhappy. It was she and Su Mingcheng who paid for tonight's meal, but in the end, Su Daqiang looked down on them both.

Zhu Li was better. Although she was not happy in her heart, she still had a smile on her face. There was another person, Director Gao, Su Daqiang's former school leader. Because of the family planning policy, he punished Su Daqiang to work in the school library.

Now, Su Daqiang toasted all his old colleagues at the banquet, but deliberately ignored him, and even made sarcastic remarks in his words, which made Director Gao look embarrassed. In the end, it was other colleagues who persuaded Su Daqiang, and he finally calmed down.

The banquet was finally over at ten o'clock in the evening. Su Daqiang drank a lot of wine and said a lot, perfectly demonstrating what it means to be proud and high-spirited, or what it means to be a villain who becomes arrogant when he succeeds.

He didn't feel embarrassed, because it was others who were embarrassed. When he got home at night, Su Daqiang made a lot of noise for a while, and then fell asleep on the bed. He was really happy tonight and was extremely excited.
