Chapter 140 Fear of explanation
When Su Mingcheng secretly lamented that his elder brother was so generous, his cell phone rang.
It was his boss, Manager Zhou, a shrewd woman in her forties.
"Xiao Su, are you awake? I'm having dinner with Director Shen and talking about our last cooperation."
Director Shen is the partner of Manager Zhou this time. The two of them have been dealing with each other for several years. Su Mingcheng has also seen a farmer-like person who looks very honest and honest at first glance.
If the price of the production line hadn't been too high, Manager Zhou would definitely have eaten the fat for herself. She was not a philanthropic person.
It was precisely because she couldn't swallow it that she shared it with acquaintances in the department. This was better than working with strangers.
Manager Zhou brought him along, undoubtedly treating him as a confidant.
When one is prosperous, both are prosperous; when one is lost, both are harmed.
It is precisely because of this that he has great confidence in this investment.
Su Mingcheng smiled and said: "Sister Zhou, I woke up early. My eldest brother returned to China today and I was having dinner with him. Is it the same as last time?"
"Didn't we roughly determine everyone's share last time? We need to break it down. Lao Shen is responsible for the factory rent and water and electricity facilities. We have to determine the remaining equipment costs. After all, this involves everyone's respective decisions later. ”
"Okay, okay, I'll come over now."
Su Mingcheng was so happy that he couldn't hide the smile on his face, as if he had forgotten that he only had tens of thousands in cash at home.
Julie sat next to him and vaguely heard him talking about investment again, and couldn't help but sigh slightly.
She didn't know whether the investment was reliable, but the way Su Mingcheng was focused on it looked like those gamblers who were deeply involved in a gambling game and wanted to make a comeback.
The family's savings are only so much, so I don't know how excited he is.
"Brother, I have something to do at work, so I will leave first. Dad, please eat slowly."
Su Mingzhe waved his hand: "Since it is a work matter, you can go ahead. We are family members, so there is no need to be polite."
After Su Mingcheng left, Zhu Li said solemnly: "Brother, although you earn more, we can't find enough money to buy a house for dad."
Julie has always been strong-tempered, and taking advantage of others is a shameful thing. She doesn't bother to do it. Although she has decided to separate from Mingcheng, she still wants to do well in her duties, except for her health.
"Julie, you don't need to say anything, this matter is settled, eat the food, eat the food."
After eating, Su Mingzhe planned to send Su Daqiang back to Mingyu's house first.
He took his old father to the taxi intersection, and Julie was also there. Seeing Su Mingzhe raising her hand to stop a taxi, she said sensibly: "Brother, Dad, you guys get in the car first."
Su Mingzhe nodded in response: "Okay, Zhu Li, let's go first."
Zhu Li watched Su Mingzhe and Su Daqiang's cars drifting away, then lowered her head and took out her mobile phone to contact Lin Yuan.
"Didi didi."
At this time, a trumpet sounded.
Julie looked up and saw a black SUV parked steadily in front of her.
It was Lin Yuan's car.
She skillfully opened the door and got into the car, fastened her seat belt quickly, a smile appeared on her face, and she asked softly: "Have you been waiting for me?"
Lin Yuan nodded: "Yes."
Julie asked with concern: "Don't you want to eat something?"
Not long after the meal started, Lin Yuan left, presumably still hungry.
Lin Yuan did not answer directly, but just looked at her, with a wider smile on his face.
Julie was a little confused: "What do you see me doing?"
"Go home and eat."
After returning home, the two hugged and kissed all the way to the sofa.
Lin Yuan asked Julie to turn her back to him, and gently hugged her slender waist.
Zhu Li's delicate body trembled and she quickly wanted to escape. The pain from the last time was still fresh in her memory.
"It really hurts, okay!"
She frowned, and there was still some lingering fear in her voice.
Lin Yuan came closer to Zhu Li, and his warm breath gently brushed her earlobe. Then he opened his mouth slightly, gently took her earlobe in his mouth, and said in a suppressed voice: "It doesn't hurt there."
Julie's head shook like a rattle, and her ponytail swayed wildly with this movement. She bit her lower lip tightly, tried her best to restrain her emotions, and squeezed out a few words from between her teeth: "Wait a little longer."
Although her body longed for it, her mouth could never surrender.
Zhu Li's eyes were blurry, she bit her lip and didn't answer. No matter how Lin Yuan wandered around and probed, she seemed not to hear.
As the saying goes, you can do it once, but never again. Next time, he must mean what he says.
Room 1912.
After Su Mingzhe came back from seeing Su Daqiang off, he ordered two side dishes at the hotel and returned to the room.
Opening the door, it was quiet and dark inside, with only the sound of the air conditioner echoing in the room. Wu Fei and Xiaomi were both sleeping on the bed.
As soon as Su Mingzhe walked to the bed, Wu Fei turned over and opened his eyes to look at him.
Since having the baby, Wu Fei has become a "tigress". She is always alert to any disturbance around Xiaomi.
Su Mingzhe gently sat down next to Wu Fei and whispered: "The baby is already asleep. I've packed it for you. Eat it quickly."
"We will both faint from hunger when you come back."
With that said, Wu Fei stood up and left the room, and Su Mingzhe followed suit.
When he came to the dining table, Su Mingzhe opened the packing box, with an apologetic smile on his face, and said: "Eat something quickly."
After he sent Su Daqiang back to Mingyu's home, Su Daqiang took him to chat for a long time, and it was indeed a little late to come back.
Wu Fei looked at him and said calmly: "Mingyu has already called, and the baby and I have finished eating."
"Haha, Mingyu really cares about you and the baby."
Wu Fei glanced at him: "If you care about me and the baby half as much as Mingyu, no, half as much, I will be grateful."
Su Mingzhe smiled and said: "You and the baby will always come first in my heart."
Wu Fei found it funny. She believed this when she got married, she believed it when she was pregnant, and she believed it after giving birth to the baby. But now, she would be a fool if she believed it again.
"Why are you like this?"
Su Mingzhe looked confused and asked: "What's wrong?"
"In front of your Su family, do you need to pretend like that? It's not like Mingyu doesn't know your details, so you're not afraid that Mingyu will reveal your background and expose your unemployment? Are you embarrassed to pretend in front of Mingyu? ?”
Su Mingzhe frowned and argued: "What's wrong with being unemployed? It's normal to be unemployed in the United States. After you're unemployed, you find a better job. Did I say something wrong?"
"I think you are the kind of person who changes his attitude as soon as he gets rich, let alone before he gets rich."
"Why have I changed?" Su Mingzhe's face was obviously unhappy. He picked up the cup and took a sip of water to suppress the anger in his heart.
"Forget it, I'm too lazy to care about you. Let me ask you, have you told us our plan to buy a house? Do they agree?" "Yes, I am going to buy a three-bedroom house for dad."
Wu Fei was shocked: "Are you crazy? Buy three bedrooms? Didn't you agree to buy two bedrooms before?"
Su Mingzhe explained: "Think about it, we must hire a nanny for dad. Dad has a room and the nanny has a room. Won't we have no place to live?"
"You can stay in a hotel when you come back. We are in the United States all year round and can't come back even once a year. Why spend so much money?" Wu Fei was speechless, then asked: "Did you say anything about selling the old house?"
Su Mingzhe looked embarrassed: "I didn't say."
"Then how much do they pay?"
Su Mingzhe said matter-of-factly: "Let's go out."
When Wu Fei heard this, he felt incredible, "You said you wanted to buy a house, but didn't you say you would help pay for it? This is for dad's retirement, and they should also contribute."
"Julie said they wanted to do something together, but I don't think they have much savings..."
Wu Fei was furious: "Who has savings? Who didn't squeeze it out of his teeth? Besides, their income is not bad."
Su Mingzhe was a little embarrassed: "But I don't think Mingcheng has any intention of providing money? He still wants to borrow money from me to invest today."

"What do you mean? One of the couple has a red face and the other a white face? Why are you doing it all by yourself?"
Su Mingzhe comforted him: "Don't worry. If you use our money to buy a house, then the house will naturally have our names on it. On the surface, our dad lives in it. Isn't that also an investment for us?"
"Don't take it out of context. You said before that we can pay for it, but the premise is to sell the old house and buy two bedrooms and one living room. Now your old house is not for sale and has been replaced with three bedrooms and one living room. You What do you mean? How much does it cost?”
Su Mingzhe looked at Wu Fei with a guilty conscience and said with a smile: "Don't be angry. After all, the old house carries the memories of our Su family. I really can't bear to sell it. According to my current monthly salary, as long as I save some expenses, it's totally fine." Pay off the mortgage as soon as possible.”
Wu Fei shook his head in disappointment: "From your salary, after deducting miscellaneous taxes and our mortgage in the United States, we will also deduct your domestic expenses, domestic mortgage, and hiring a nanny. Have you done the math? , how much is left for me and the baby?”
Su Mingzhe responded quickly: "I've done the math, and I can send you a thousand dollars every month."
Wu Fei looked at Su Mingzhe, and a fire ignited in his heart, "I am raising the baby alone in the United States. If I can't bear it, I have to ask my mother to come and take care of it. How can it be enough with my own salary and the thousand you gave me? Use it? You also said that I should resign and return to China with you. If I really resign, my baby and I will not be able to go to the northwest."
In a big city like San Francisco, prices are ridiculously high. It can only be said that such money is really stretched.
"Oh, no, this situation is only temporary."
Wu Fei scolded him mercilessly: "Su Mingzhe, you like to act like a hero and save face. I believe that when you generously said at the dinner table that you wanted to buy a house for your father at noon, you must have felt very happy. You said you would pay the full payment for the house. You were also happy when you decided to buy three bedrooms and one living room without permission, you must be even more happy, right?”
Su Mingzhe was very embarrassed by being scolded and couldn't help but avoid his face, "Look what you said."
"Don't deny it. You are the eldest in the family, and you should help with more responsibilities. But which of your younger brothers and sisters has a better life than us? Mingyu won't say it. Look at Zhu Li. The ones we wear are all famous brands, and they are obviously much better than me. What are we? We are just poor wage earners abroad!”
Su Mingzhe had no choice but to say: "Don't be angry, that's it. I'll borrow some from Mingyu later, and I'll pay it back slowly."
"This is even more outrageous. Your parents didn't even pay for Mingyu to go to college. Now that he's retired, he thinks of Mingyu. If I were Mingyu, I wouldn't even pay the 200,000 yuan for your mother's funeral!" Wu Fei paused. After a pause, he continued, "If you want to buy a house, you can do it. The premise is to sell the old house, or maintain the previous decision and buy a two-bedroom apartment."
Su Mingzhe had no choice but to coax softly: "I will find a way to solve the matter of selling the old house."
Wu Fei then warned: "Also, you can't leave the house purchase to Mingcheng. I'm worried. What if he finds a high-priced house in a luxurious area? Either you do it yourself, or you leave it to Mingyu." Anyway, I don’t trust him, and you are not allowed to lend him any money, not even a penny.”
Su Mingzhe finally couldn't stand it anymore and stood up and walked away a few steps, "Oh, how can you be so prejudiced against Mingcheng? I already agreed to leave it to Mingcheng. I will also check the price and location online. What's the matter? So worried? Why are you so stingy?”
Su Mingzhe spoke excitedly, and the volume increased unknowingly, and Xiaomi's confused voice could be heard in the room.
Wu Fei took a deep breath: "Okay, I don't want to quarrel with you, Su Mingzhe, can you be more careful and let me and the baby live a little more comfortably, okay?"
After saying that, she walked into the room and continued to coax Xiaomi to sleep.
Continuing the quarrel will only lengthen the line of fire and make the differences wider.
……
An hour later, Julie lay limply on the sofa with a face full of joy that had not yet dissipated.
Lin Yuan smiled and said: "Is it true that the first time is familiar and the second time is familiar?"
Zhu Li rolled her eyes at him, stretched out her arm, gave him a gentle elbow kick, and asked, "Are there any cucumbers at home?"
"You want to cut it off and put on a mask?"
"I want you to try and see what it feels like."
Her eyes were sparkling with smiles, and her smile was very cute.
Lin Yuan pinched her slender flesh and laughed out loud, "You don't seem to be convinced yet?"
……
late at night.
When Su Mingcheng came back, he smelled slightly of alcohol.
His face was filled with excitement. He now felt that the future was bright and he could live no worse than his elder brother and Su Mingyu.
If there were any doubts about this investment before, they are gone now.
Director Shen not only showed all the relevant documents to everyone, but also took everyone to the equipment production factory in the neighboring city. As long as the money is in place, he can bring back this batch of equipment production machines and start production of the equipment.
When the time comes, he will export through the foreign trade company where he works, and he will have all the exports in hand, and there is no need to worry about Director Shen being naughty.
Now he only has the three hundred thousand to collect.
He wanted to open the bedroom door, share the good news with Julie, and have a little meeting.
After all, it's been too long since I've had a small meeting. I was either disturbed by Su Daqiang or had a quarrel with Zhu Li. Now it's time to keep in touch and strengthen the relationship.
He turned the door handle a few times, only to find that the door was locked. He called softly twice: "Lili, Lili."
Zhu Li opened her sleepy eyes and glanced in the direction of the door without saying anything. She was very disappointed with Su Mingcheng's behavior at the dinner table today, and she didn't want to talk to him out loud.
Seeing no response inside, he had to give up the idea of having a meeting. He didn't bother to take a shower, so he went straight back to the study and fell asleep.
The next day, Sunday.
Su Mingcheng walked out of the study, scratched his head, and wanted to discuss with Zhu Li where to borrow money.
With sharp eyes, Julie saw a lipstick mark on Su Mingcheng's lining collar at a glance. Seeing this scene, Julie's first reaction was not anger, but relief.
But she still asked in a cold voice: "What did you do last night?"
Su Mingcheng felt a little baffled: "After dinner last night, we went to the bar to sit for a while and did nothing else."
"Then what is this?" Julie asked.
Su Mingcheng followed the direction that Zhu Li pointed and lowered his head to look at the red color on his collar. He himself was also confused.
"I don't know either? The bosses of our department are all women, so how can I find a young lady?"
"Keep pretending to be stupid."
Julie turned around, picked up her bag and rushed out the door.
It wasn't that she didn't have the patience to listen to Su Mingcheng's explanation, but that she was afraid.
She was afraid that Su Mingcheng could explain this matter clearly to her.
"Lili! Lili! Listen to me!" Su Mingcheng shouted from behind, trying to step forward and hold Zhu Li's arm, but Zhu Li threw her away forcefully.
