"Gift? What gift?"
Zhou Chen looked puzzled. Su Mingyu was indeed very generous to him in this world. She transferred a lot of money into his card every month. This was also the biggest reason why he could live comfortably in London.
"You'll know when you get back."
Su Mingyu didn't say it directly, but kept it a secret.
"Have you said enough?"
Su Mingzhe, who had been silent the whole time, suddenly interrupted the conversation between Zhou Chen and Su Mingyu with a very dissatisfied tone.
"At a time like this, you're still talking and laughing. Where do you put Mom's affairs?"
Zhou Chen was stunned. He didn't expect that just a few words from him would cause Su Mingzhe to have such a big reaction.
However, Su Mingyu did not indulge Su Mingzhe, and asked in a cold tone: "Brother, now that mom is gone, do we not even have the right to speak?"
Su Mingzhe: "I didn't stop you from talking, but right now, when our mom's funeral hasn't been handled yet, you're just chatting and laughing here. Are you worthy of mom's kindness in raising you for so many years?"
Su Mingyu: "Brother, what you mean is that we must cry our hearts out now to be worthy of our mother's kindness in raising us and her spirit in heaven?"
Su Mingzhe was immediately angry and said, "Mingyu, that's not what I meant. Why are you like this now?"
"What have I become? Brother, you have been talking about us since you got off the plane. Filial piety cannot be learned by crying. You have been abroad for many years and have no idea what is going on at home. If you want to blame others, wait until you have figured it out."
"I will explain to you in detail what you just asked me."
"First, as the head nurse, Mom has basic medical knowledge. In terms of age, she is not old enough to need her children to take turns to care for her 24 hours a day. I don't know about Su Mingcheng, but I am very busy and often go on business trips. You and Mingyang are both abroad, so we both have our reasons for not being present."
"Second, when Dad got into trouble, he was so confused that he didn't call 120 right away. Instead, he asked someone to carry Mom to the side of the road and take a taxi, so he didn't have time to get medical treatment right away."
"third……"
Su Mingzhe couldn't listen any longer after hearing this, and he immediately interrupted: "Mingyu, what's the point of you saying this now?"
Su Mingyu said, "I just felt it was necessary to say it. Thirdly, Dad waited until Mom died before notifying us, and the first person to notify was you who was far away in the United States. I only found out about it later. As for Mingyang, I was the one who notified him."
Having said this, she couldn't help but let out a self-deprecating smile, obviously feeling chilled by her father's behavior.
Zhou Chen sat in the back row, silent. Su Mingyu was right. He indeed did not receive any calls from other members of the Su family. It was Su Mingyu who notified him, and it was Su Mingyu who bought the plane ticket for him. If it weren't for Su Mingyu, he probably wouldn't have known about this, let alone rushed back.

Chapter 127 Conversation between Sister and Brother (Update!)
After listening to Su Mingyu's three explanations, Su Mingzhe was speechless, because he could not refute what Su Mingyu said.
After a long time, he spoke again: "Where's Dad, is he okay now?"
Su Mingyu: "He cries whenever he sees anyone now, but he is in good health. With Su Mingcheng and his wife accompanying him, he is fine."
"It's good that you're okay. It's good that Dad is okay."
No matter what kind of person Su Mingzhe is, his filial piety is absolutely real.
It was just that when he was in the United States, he could not show this kind of filial piety. Now that something happened, he felt guilty and naturally wanted to be more filial to his living father.
"Brother, where are you going to stay when you come back? How about I book a hotel for you?" Su Mingyu suddenly asked.
Su Mingzhe shook his head and sighed, "I don't want to go anywhere. I'll just live at home with my dad."
Su Mingyu listened, smiled bitterly and shook her head: "Dad lives with Su Mingcheng. He doesn't dare to go back to the old house now. He says he is afraid of ghosts there."
Su Mingzhe was a little stunned after hearing this, but he still insisted: "I still want to accompany Dad."
"Okay, then you and dad can live with Su Mingcheng. We can make do with his place."
After talking about Su Mingzhe, Su Mingyu turned to look at Zhou Chen, and said, "Mingyang, you just go back with me and live with me, and I happen to have an empty bedroom there."
"Row."
Zhou Chen did not hesitate. Su Mingyu was his biological sister and she was not married, so there was naturally no pressure for him to live with her.
However, after Su Mingzhe heard the conversation between the siblings, he felt a little uncomfortable.
When Su Mingyu asked him just now, it meant to book a hotel for him, but she had no intention of letting him stay at her place.
Although he would not go to live there even if Mingyu said so, but whether to live there or not and whether to say it or not are two completely different things.
Just from this small matter, it can be seen that the relationship between Su Mingyu and Zhou Chen is much deeper than that between him and her as an older brother.
"We'll go directly to the funeral home later. Brother, Mingyang, you should get some sleep. I'll call you when we get there."
Su Mingzhe nodded and closed his eyes to rest. Zhou Chen had slept for several hours and was in good spirits. He was not sleepy at all, so he looked at the scenery outside through the window.
He had been to the city of Magic City, but that was in the real world. He had been there several times, but still didn't know much about it.
As a young person, I am more or less yearning for Shanghai, the most prosperous first-tier city in China.
It's just that he in the real world finally returned to his small place, because he has no special skills, and he may be able to survive in the magic city, but he is definitely not as nourished as in a small city.
After a long time, he no longer yearned for such a big city.
In the previous two worlds, he lived in big cities, which were not much different from the Magic City. Especially in the world of Let's Get Married, he took Yang Tao to many places in Yanjing.
Perhaps the world is different and the structure of the city may also change, but as a film and television drama world based on China, the background cities should not be too different. It is probably the difference in eras that leads to different development of the city.
"Mingyu, what exactly is that gift you just mentioned?"
Zhou Chen remembered the gift Su Mingyu had just mentioned, so he asked.
Su Mingyu smiled slightly and said, "I told you, I won't tell you yet. After mom's funeral is over, I will take you to a place. You will definitely like that gift."
"Okay, I'll wait a few more days then."
Knowing that Su Mingyu is a person who walks the talk, Zhou Chen didn't ask any further questions.
The car became very quiet. Zhou Chen sighed again that a good car is a good car and there is no noise at all. Compared with this Mercedes-Benz, his Angksela is simply a world of difference.
When I have money in the future, the first thing I will do is to replace the Axela... Zhou Chen was furious.
"Ming Yang."
"Ah."
Su Mingyu has always been decisive and resolute, but when facing her only younger brother, she was unusually hesitant.
"Mom is gone. Even if you still have some dissatisfaction with her, just let it go."
Zhou Chen was stunned when he heard this. He knew why Su Mingyu told him this, because Su's mother Zhao Meilan did something that made him heartbroken. It was after that incident that he never went back.
"Mingyu, I think you should say this to yourself, because I have already let it go a long time ago. The one who is really bothered is actually you."
Indeed, even though he knew that what Su's mother did to him was excessive, he has now really let it go.
After all, he was born and raised by his mother Zhao Meilan. Even if she was not good to him, she still raised him to adulthood.
The dead are the greatest. After he traveled through time, he no longer had any resentment towards his mother who had not seen her face.
Su Mingyu pursed her lips. She certainly understood what Zhou Chen meant by that, but she didn't respond.
"It's best if you can let it go."
"Ming Yang."
"Ah."
"It's great that you're back. From now on, I won't have to spend the New Year alone anymore."
Hearing Su Mingyu's words, Zhou Chen suddenly felt sorry for her.
Because he could somewhat empathize with the situation. In his previous life, he celebrated the New Year alone, so he knew very well how lonely he was when everyone else was alone on that day.
Compared to him, Su Mingyu is even more miserable.
"Of course, now that I'm back, you won't have to spend the holidays alone anymore. But, after all these years, have you ever thought about finding someone?"
Su Mingyu immediately sneered: "What are you looking for? I, Su Mingyu, don't need to rely on men. Can I rely on men with money? I have you as my brother, and that's enough. Husbands, boyfriends, etc., just get out of here."
"Enough domineering."
Zhou Chen gave a thumbs up. Most women certainly don't have this ability, but Su Mingyu does. When it comes to making money, she is better than most men. Now she no longer needs to rely on men to support her.
Moreover, Su Mingyu's childhood experiences made her somewhat averse to marriage, so she has never found a boyfriend for all these years.
Su Mingyu smiled and said, "What I'm thinking now is that it would be best if you get married quickly and then give birth to a child for me to play with. I can just be the aunt, not the mother."
Zhou Chen: "You are so powerful. I am really afraid that my child will be ruined by you."
"If you break it, just give birth to another one."
"I can't afford to raise more children."
"If you can't afford it, give it to me and I'll help you raise it."
"Then I really thank you very much."
…………
As the two chatted in low voices, time passed slowly and soon they arrived in Su City. Su Mingyu drove directly to the funeral home which she had already arranged.
Because people in big cities have many regulations, most families, if an elderly person dies, will choose to place the body in a funeral home.
However, in the real world, the small place where Zhou Chen lives is just the opposite.
Most families will place the bodies of their loved ones in ice coffins and keep them at home for a few days to accompany them on their final journey. On the third, fifth, or seventh day, the bodies will be cremated and buried.
After arriving at the funeral home, Su Mingyu parked the car and took Zhou Chen and Su Mingzhe to the place where her mother Zhao Meilan's body was kept.
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 128 Su Mingcheng, Julie (More!)
At the funeral home, Zhou Chen saw his mother in this world, but she was just a lifeless corpse.
After seeing his mother's body, Su Mingzhe burst into tears, as if he wanted to vent all the longing and regret he had accumulated over the past ten years.
However, Zhou Chen was not as sad as Su Mingzhe. After staying inside for a while, he took the initiative to walk out.
After coming out, Zhou Chen saw Su Mingyu hiding in the corner crying. He walked to her side, hugged her gently, and let her lean on his shoulder.
He knew that Su Mingyu was not as strong as she appeared.
Over the years, she worked hard, not only to make her life better, but also to prove to her parents who kicked her out that even though she was a girl, she could still bring honor to the family.
Unfortunately, before that day came, her mother passed away, leaving her with no chance.
"Cry, you'll feel better after you cry."
Su Mingyu did cry, but only for a short while. Then she walked outside with Zhou Chen and sat in the corridor waiting for Su Mingzhe.
"Ming Yang, you know, I don't dare to get married or have children because I'm afraid that one day I'll become like mom. She was the one I hated the most, so what I'm most afraid of is becoming her."
Su Mingyu's eyes were dull. In this world, she could only open her heart to her only brother.
Zhou Chen understood what Su Mingyu meant. Having watched the drama All Is Well, he knew very well what kind of person Su Mingyu was.
Even though he was ruthless towards his enemies, he was also merciless towards his second brother Su Mingcheng who bullied him.
But in fact, she is also a kind person. She can seek benefits for a person who was fired for making a mistake, help her second brother who hurt her, and even help more people.
This is not something that ordinary people can do. It requires sufficient vision and broad-mindedness to achieve.
"Don't think too much, just be yourself, she's gone, you can let it go."
Su Mingyu murmured, "After so many years, how can I let it go so easily?"
Su Mingzhe stayed in there for more than an hour. When he came out, his eyes were swollen and his voice was hoarse from crying.
"Let's go back and see Dad."
So, Su Mingyu took Su Mingzhe and Zhou Chen to the home of Su Mingcheng, the second son of the Su family.
Before her mother passed away, Su Mingyu had never been to Su Mingcheng's house once, not even when Su Mingcheng got married.
However, because her mother passed away, she had to go to Su Mingcheng's house, and this time, she had to go again with Zhou Chen and her elder brother Su Mingzhe.
There are no high-rise buildings in the urban area of Suzhou. The tallest one has only a few floors. This is the characteristic of Suzhou. There is probably no other such developed city in the whole country.
On the way to Su Mingcheng's house, Su Mingzhe asked, "Mingyu, how is tomorrow's ceremony arranged?"
Su Mingyu: "Relatives and friends have been notified. As for the process, the funeral home has its own routines, and there are some that cost a lot of money and some that cost a little. I think this kind of thing is done for the living, and there is not much point in spending too much money, so I chose one with similar specifications, and the rest is to follow the funeral home's process;
As for the cemetery, I have already chosen it, and my father has already seen it, and he is very satisfied. "
