Chapter 136 Chewing Gum
In the car, Su Daqiang was in high spirits and asked cheerfully: "Xiao Lin, what are our plans for today?"
"I'll take you to see a tea ceremony performance first. There will be Pingtan in the afternoon." Lin Yuan drove and glanced at Julie in the back seat through the rearview mirror. Julie just winked at him playfully.
"Okay, okay."
Lin Yuan tilted his head slightly and asked in a gentle tone: "Uncle, why don't you want to live with Mingyu? I heard that Mingyu is the general manager of a large company and manages hundreds of people. If you wanted to live there, you would definitely not Will be wronged”
Su Daqiang sat up straight: "Is Mingyu so powerful?"
In his past understanding, although he knew that Mingyu had a little money and lived a pretty good life, deep in his heart, the deep-rooted patriarchal mentality and the long-term neglect of Mingyu made him never really To learn more about how far Mingyu's career has reached.
Hearing Lin Yuan's words at this moment, he suddenly realized that he seemed to have underestimated this daughter.
"Yeah, you might go to the United States someday, why don't you go and stay with Mingyu for a while."
After hearing these words, Su Daqiang couldn't help but feel shaken in his heart.
It's just that he hasn't contacted Su Mingyu for a long time, and he rejected the request last time. He doesn't know how to tell Su Mingyu at the moment, so he can only look for opportunities later.
The three of them drove to a quiet and elegant Meiwu Teahouse. The garden was filled with the fragrance of tea and the atmosphere was quiet. It was a rare place for leisure.
A traditional tea tasting event is being held in the manor. In the quaint tea room, tea masters demonstrate their tea making skills gracefully and skillfully. The aroma of rare tea leaves fills the air.
Su Daqiang's eyes were full of interest. Seeing this, Lin Yuan smiled and suggested that he attend. Su Daqiang couldn't help but happily agreed.
After Su Daqiang sat down to taste tea, Lin Yuan saw the right opportunity and gently took Zhu Li's hand, like two cats stealing fish, and quietly walked towards the outdoor tea garden.
They found a deserted corner and the two kissed passionately.
After about half an hour of watching the scene, Su Daqiang walked out with a look of satisfaction on his face.
Zhu Li had already tidied up her somewhat messy and wrinkled clothes, but there was still a faint blush on her pretty face. Su Daqiang just thought it was blown by the cold wind and didn't think much about it.
For Julie, the inner turmoil at this moment was like going back to her youthful high school days. There was a handsome and slightly evil boy who, under the eyes of teachers and parents, quietly treated herself with her own acquiescence. Make small moves.
“Although the prices in this store are cheap, the taste is very good.”
After tasting tea, Lin Yuan led Su Daqiang to an inconspicuous small restaurant and ordered some home-cooked stir-fries.
"Uncle, try this shrimp. It's good for your health and can lower blood pressure." Lin Yuan said while serving Su Daqiang some vegetables.
Then, he turned to Julie, picked up a piece of cod meat, and said softly: "Li... you eat some of this, second sister-in-law, this will help prepare for pregnancy. You and second brother don't have children either, so I have to help."
Lili was so used to it that she almost did it in front of Su Daqiang.
Zhu Li was a little flustered when she heard this, but fortunately Su Daqiang didn't realize anything was wrong.
Su Daqiang just smiled and nodded: "Eat more, this is a good thing."
Lin Yuan quickly agreed: "I guess my sister-in-law will give me a big fat boy next year."
While he was talking, his foot lightly touched Julie's high-heeled shoes under the table, and then he quietly wrapped her calf wrapped in stockings, with an imperceptible smirk appearing on the corner of his mouth.
Zhu Li was shocked, but she had to keep her face calm. She didn't dare to make any big moves, for fear of arousing Su Daqiang's suspicion, so she could only quietly glare at Lin Yuan to tell him to behave.
Su Daqiang was kept in the dark and did not realize that there was something in Lin Yuan's words, and started laughing along with him.
At first, because Su Mingcheng and Zhu Li were very playful, they never thought about having children. Now, in a blink of an eye, they are both old enough, and it is time to make such a plan.
"You are not young anymore. It is time to plan to have a baby. But let me tell you first, I may not be able to help you take care of it. I will go to the United States at any time."
After hearing these words, Julie felt ashamed and angry.
What's embarrassing is that Su Daqiang's words sounded as if Lin Yuan and he, who were sitting opposite him, were a loving couple about to usher in a new life.
What makes him angry is that Su Daqiang is still as irresponsible as ever, dodging family responsibilities whenever he can. He really has a son like any father.
"Uncle, I offer you a cup of tea instead of water, and wish you an early trip to the United States."
Zhu Li's face turned red. She was the only one who understood the deep meaning of Lin Yuan's words.
Lin Yuan finished eating and quietly lowered his left hand, rubbing it gently on his thigh.
In this cold weather, Julie was wearing a short skirt and only a thin layer of flesh-colored stockings, so that friction could keep her warm.
The three of them were sitting in the corner, and Su Daqiang was immersed in eating, eating with gusto, not noticing the subtle movements between the two.
The food on the table was almost eaten when a little old man of medium height appeared.
Wearing a beret and a pair of sunglasses on his face, he stepped forward, raised his hand and patted Su Daqiang on the back.
This sudden scene made Lin Yuan, who was doing something unknown with his big hands under the table, quickly withdraw his hands and sit up straight.
Julie's eyes were filled with moisture, and there was a hint of charm.
Su Daqiang turned his head with confusion and saw the old man took off his sunglasses and revealed his face.
"What, you don't know me?" the old man said with a smile.
"Old Nie!" Su Daqiang saw the person clearly and stood up excitedly, and the two hugged tightly.
"Sit, sit, sit, sit down." Su Daqiang enthusiastically pulled Lao Nie and sat down next to him, "I haven't seen you for a few days."
"Yes," Lao Nie nodded, with a concerned look on his face, "I heard that my sister-in-law passed away quite unexpectedly, so you should also express my condolences."
Su Daqiang sighed slightly: "It's good, it's not painful to leave."
Lao Nie asked again: "Didn't I hear that you were going to the United States? Are you back so soon?"
Su Daqiang's eyes averted for a moment, but he still had a smile on his face, and he skillfully made up a reason: "Originally, I was about to leave. My son and daughter couldn't bear to leave me, so I just stayed back. Look at me, I The children follow me wherever I go every day.”
Naturally, Lin Yuan and Zhu Li would not expose him.
"You are so lucky, oh, these are your two children."
Lao Nie pointed at Lin Yuan and Zhu Li opposite, and was secretly surprised. He didn't expect Su Daqiang's two children to be so outstanding.
"Hi, the two children have a lot to do today and are too busy to get away from it. This is my daughter-in-law, and this is Xiao Lin." Su Daqiang approached Lao Nie, half-covered his mouth with one hand, and said in a low voice, "This is Xiao Lin, It’s a bit interesting to my girl.”
Naturally, this could not be hidden from Lin Yuan's ears, but Lin Yuan did not want to clarify. Although he had no idea about Su Mingyu, in order to have more contact with the Su family, he didn't mind letting Su Daqiang misunderstand.
Lao Nie murmured in his heart, this is interesting. His daughter-in-law and prospective son-in-law accompanied his father-in-law out for a walk.
Lao Nie cleared his throat and asked casually: "Which city in the United States is the eldest son in?"
"San Francisco, it seems."
When Lao Nie heard this, he became energetic and began to show off: "San Francisco, what about the Golden Gate Bridge, Jiuquhua Street, and the Fisherman's Wharf..."
"Stop it, Lao Nie, it's like you've been there before."
Lao Nie frowned and described vividly: "Of course I have been there. My daughter is in the United States. She took us on a self-driving tour of the United States last year. We have been to all the bigger cities."
< br>
"Has Xiaoping gone to the United States?"
"Marry an American husband, right in New York." Old Nie raised his chin slightly, with a bit of pride.
As parents, when they reach their age, the only ones they can brag about are their children.
The more promising your children are, the more respect they will have in front of a group of old friends.
Su Daqiang's eyes lit up and he said quickly: "Then tomorrow, we can still be friends when we get to the United States."
Lao Nie raised his eyebrows and asked: "Okay, when will you go?"
Su Daqiang was immediately stunned by the question, and had to respond vaguely: "It depends on when my youngest son lets me go."
Lin Yuan knew very well that this old Nie was the same as Su Daqiang. He had never been to the United States at all and was just exaggerating to brag about his American experience.
I just wanted to "stand out" in front of Su Daqiang in this way to make myself look more powerful and add some conversational skills and a sense of superiority.
The corner of Lin Yuan's mouth raised slightly, and he asked calmly: "Uncle Nie, which cities in the United States have you visited by car?"
Lao Nie's chest puffed up and he said confidently: "The sea is gone. I've been to New York, San Francisco, Chicago, and Las Vegas."
"It seems that Route 66 has also been visited, right?"
"Of course."
"Which city did your first stop on Route 66 depart from?"
"It seems..." Old Nie rolled his eyes and hesitated.
"What famous towns have you been to over there?"
"Uh, this..." Old Nie had beads of sweat on his forehead and was speechless for a moment.
When Su Daqiang saw this, he felt so relieved that he couldn't help but joked: "Old Nie, you haven't been there before, have you?"
"How could I have never been there!" Lao Nie's face turned red and he defended, "It's just been a long time and I can't remember some details clearly."
Su Daqiang did not expose it, but said with a smile: "Didn't you remember the Golden Gate Bridge very clearly just now?"
"Haha, foreign names are not easy to remember. You will know them when you go there and walk around."
Lao Nie was a little embarrassed that his boast was exposed so quickly.
Lin Yuan saw that the heat was almost done, so he smiled and smoothed things over: "It's really hard to remember foreign names. Uncle, I only bought two pieces of Pingtan this afternoon. I originally wanted my sister-in-law to accompany you to watch it. This is just right for Nie. Uncle, go with you.”
Lao Nie quickly waved his hand: "No, no, no, I have something else to do."
"Oh, Lao Nie, just come along."
Su Daqiang was currently thinking about showing off in front of his old friends, and Lin Yuan's arrangement was exactly what he wanted.
Lin Yuan handed the two tickets for the Pingtan performance to Su Daqiang and warned: "Don't forget the time for the performance at two o'clock. I will pick you up after the performance." Zhu Li also followed up and said: "Dad, Then I’m leaving. I’m going back to see my parents today, and I won’t be going back tonight.”
Lin Yuan and Zhu Li said goodbye to the two old people and walked side by side towards the car.
Julie could no longer suppress her curiosity. She blinked her smart eyes and asked, "How do you know that old man is bragging?"
Lin Yuan deliberately teased: "Because I am a good judge of people. I can tell at a glance that Su Mingcheng is not good enough for you."
Zhu Li sat in the back seat, and Lin Yuan drove the car steadily and slowly came downstairs to Zhu's father's house.
He parked the car, quickly returned to the back seat, and gently held Julie in his arms.
Zhu Li's gentle and gentle temperament made him fascinated.
His big hands gently covered her snow-white and delicate skin, lifted her small chin slightly, and then kissed her lovingly.
After a long time, Julie's body seemed to melt, and her whole body became limp and weak. It wasn't until she accidentally touched a sensitive place that she regained consciousness for a moment, held down his evil hand, and said softly: "I I suddenly felt guilty and felt like a bad woman.”
Lin Yuan looked at Julie's shy and charming look, his eyes full of teasing and love, and said softly: "But I just like to see you like this, you can't help yourself. It's so cute."
Zhu Li was also in a daze. She had only known Lin Yuan for a long time, but she had already become like this in front of him.
Please...you...Collect_6Ⅰ9ⅠBookⅠ(Six\\\Nine\\\Book\\\!)
She bit her lip slightly and said with a hint of annoyance: "It's all your fault. I wasn't like this in the first place."
"Yes, yes, it's all my fault." Lin Yuan said, while exerting slight force on his hands: "Lili, after you give birth to a child, this place will be even bigger."
"It's not good if it's too big, it's inconvenient."
"Hey, you can't say that."
After some tenderness, Zhu Li raised her head slightly, looked at Lin Yuan softly, and asked softly: "The company paid a bonus of 20,000 yuan this month, and I plan to return it to my father-in-law."
"Hmm." Lin Yuan just responded in a low voice.
"What do you think?"
"According to me, of course you won't give it. You don't owe him anything in the first place, so why should you pay back the money for Su Mingcheng? Moreover, Su Daqiang has scolded you in front of me more than once. Why are you so nice to him? If it's not upright and upright If he wants to ask you out, I won’t bother to pay attention to him.”
He doesn't have a good impression of these people in the Su family.
"Then I'll keep it for now and pay it back together later. After all, I spent some of the money he borrowed."
Lin Yuan raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "You are not asking for my opinion, you are asking for my consent."
"Be gentle, you're hurting me." Zhu Li glared at him and spat softly: "Don't always bully me."
Lin Yuan rubbed her pink lips with an ambiguous smile in his eyes: "Lili, do you know it's OK here"
"I'll bite you to death." Julie really bit his hand, leaving a faint tooth mark. This guy kept bullying himself in different ways all day long, "Can you think of something healthy in your mind?"
Although I still stick to the bottom line, I really only have the bottom line left.
"Lili, you can't do this, I just clearly..."
Lin Yuan was still about to argue, but Zhu Li hurriedly stretched out her delicate white hands and blocked his mouth tightly to stop him from continuing to speak.
Time flies, it's already around five o'clock, and the sky has darkened. Unknowingly, I have been hanging out with Zhu Li for so long.
"I'm going back." Julie blushed slightly, raised her hand to straighten her messy hair, and there was still some lingering affection in her eyes.
Lin Yuan conjured two chewing gums like a magic trick and handed them to Zhu Li.
"What is this?"
"Chewing gum, let me freshen your breath." Lin Yuan blinked and said seriously.
Zhu Li understood instantly, her cheeks turned red, and she stretched out her hand to squeeze Lin Yuan's waist in embarrassment, feeling certain that this guy must have planned it in advance.
She rolled her eyes at him with an angry look, and did not rush to open the chewing gum. Instead, she leaned forward and kissed Lin Yuan gently.
But soon, Lin Yuan gently pushed her away, "Lili, you can kiss me, but there's no need to give up the kiss."
Julie said angrily: "You know how disgusting it is. Next time you do this again, I will spit it all in your face."
"Rebel Tiangang, you dare to threaten me." Lin Yuan lowered his voice and said in her ear, "Believe it or not, I will kill you right here."
Julie shrank back and quickly begged for mercy: "Why don't you stop talking?"
Then he took apart two pieces of chewing gum, put them into his mouth together, and chewed them quickly.
Julie slowly reached out her hand and gently pushed open the car door. Just as she was about to get up and get out of the car, her eyes glanced outside the car inadvertently. She hurriedly sat back in the car and closed the door forcefully.
Lin Yuan was ready to get out of the car and return to the driver's seat. He couldn't help but curiously asked: "What's wrong?"
Julie raised her chin in the direction of the car window, "I saw my dad and my mom."
From the outside, the car window looks like a dark black mirror, quietly hiding everything inside the car.
But inside the car, they could clearly see the scene outside the car through the car window.
Zhu's mother was holding Zhu's father's arm and walking slowly towards the unit building.
At Zhao Meilan's funeral, Lin Yuan also met these two old people. They exuded a gentle and gentle atmosphere in every gesture. They were worthy of working in the education residence. Their intellectual and elegant temperament was outstanding.
Lin Yuan stopped teasing Zhu Li. He understood that he was indeed not suitable to appear in front of Zhu's father and mother at this time.
After waiting for half a minute, Zhu's father and mother disappeared from the entrance of the unit building, and Zhu Li got out of the car again and walked towards home.
Lin Yuan returned to the theater and took Su Daqiang back. He should perform a complete performance, at least on the surface, no one could see any clues.
After Su Daqiang returned home, Su Mingcheng asked curiously: "Where is Lili?"
Su Daqiang said while changing his shoes: "You have gone back to your mother's house. You and her are sulky every day. You think I can't tell. Lili has been spoiled since she was a child. You can calm her down tomorrow."
"I'm not coaxing." Su Mingcheng said this, but he was thinking secretly in his heart. It could be seen that Zhu Li was really angry this time, and he had to find a suitable time to surrender.
The days passed by in a hurry.
Su Daqiang called Lin Yuan: "Xiao Lin, I recently came across a big project that can make money. Do you want to invest some with me? If you invest, you will make money."
Su Daqiang has been dazzled by the so-called "financial management gains" these days, and feels that he has mastered the way to make money.
In his heart, Lin Yuan, a young man, usually took good care of him. Now that he had a way to make a fortune, he had to bring him along no matter what, so that Lin Yuan could take advantage of him.
Originally, he wanted to bring his second son Su Mingcheng with him, but he was ridiculed by Su Mingcheng for scratching the lottery ticket, which made Su Daqiang feel angry. He simply stopped talking to him about it and waited until he earned money. What else can I say about my second son?
Lin Yuan knew everything in his heart, but he pretended to be ignorant on his face and asked curiously: "Well, the investment risk is not small. Is this reliable?"
"Does that need to be said? I invested 10,000, and guess what, I got another 12,000 back all of a sudden, with a rate of return of 20%. I invested another 60,000 the day before yesterday, Xiao Lin. , let me test you, how much can I get in the future?”
Lin Yuan felt funny in his heart, but replied calmly: "Well... I guess it must be more than 70,000."
Isn't this a classic Ponzi scheme?
They trick you into investing money little by little. The scammer uses the funds of new investors to pay the returns of early investors. When enough money is made or the inflow of funds is insufficient, it is time for the scammer to take the money and run away.
"Yes." Su Daqiang shouted happily.
In just a few days, he could earn more than 10,000 yuan, which greatly inflated his self-confidence.
Like father, like son, it seems that Su Mingcheng inherited his financial talent from his father, Su Daqiang.
"With so much money invested, didn't you discuss it with Mingcheng Mingyu and the others?"
"What are you discussing? I can spend my money however I want. I'll tell you this."
"Okay then." Lin Yuan hesitated for a while, "I happen to be free, let me go and have a look with you."
Su Daqiang readily agreed: "Okay, okay."
Lin Yuan drove to pick up Su Daqiang, and Lao Nie, whom he met last time, was also here.
It seems that it is no surprise that this investment was initiated by Lao Nie.
The three of them chatted and laughed all the way until they arrived at the building.
Especially Lao Nie and Su Daqiang are still immersed in the joy of making money.
After getting out of the elevator, the two old men walked straight towards the office of Haofu Financial Management in a familiar manner.
"Hey, why is it closed today?"
Lao Nie was a little confused. Logically speaking, today is a working day and there should be no rest.
"What's going on?" Su Daqiang lay on the glass door and looked at what was going on inside.
Lin Yuan asked the cleaning aunt not far away, "Auntie, has this financial management company moved?"
"I don't know about that. It didn't open the door yesterday, so I was wondering."
Su Daqiang was a little panicked, and he banged on the glass door, his voice trembling, "Old Nie, please call me quickly and ask what's going on?"
Lao Nie hurriedly took out his mobile phone and called Xiao Jin, the consultant he had contacted before, but a cold voice came from the phone: "The number you dialed is unavailable."
"Why is the number empty? Is it usually connected as soon as I call?" Old Nie was still a little confused and didn't know what happened.
Of course I can get through the money I encircled you before, but now the leeks have been harvested.
Lin Yuan said calmly: "You may have been deceived."
When Su Daqiang heard this, his eyes widened. He could no longer hold on and collapsed on the ground.
Sixty thousand yuan, this was all his pension money now, and it was all gone in one fell swoop.
