Siheyuan: If you ruin the reputation of the whole courtyard, I will move out

Su Daqiang returned to Su Mingcheng's home in high spirits. He was very pleased to meet his old friend today. He had never been so proud in a long time. "Mingcheng, you chose a good restaurant today. The decoration is magnificent and the dishes are delicious." After taking a sip of wine, Su Daqiang took his son's hand and praised him.

"Dad, as long as you are satisfied." Su Mingcheng helped his father sit down on the sofa, and Zhu Li considerately brought him a cup of tea to help him sober up.

After tasting the tea, Su Daqiang exhaled a breath of alcohol and became much more sober. "In my life, I, Su Daqiang, have never been so happy today. Look at Director Qian's face, it's as dark as the bottom of a pot." Su Daqiang held the teacup with both hands and slowly expressed his sigh. At the same time, he mentioned his two promising children, "Your eldest brother is very capable and knows how to invest and manage money. He has made a lot of money and will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of his life; Mingyu is also a senior executive in a large company with an annual salary of several million." He said proudly, "Mingcheng, you have to learn from you two and make more money and give it back to me sooner."

Su Daqiang was a little drunk, so his words began to sound less thoughtful, and he didn't notice the changes in Su Mingcheng and Zhu Li's expressions. "I know, I know, go back and rest!" Su Mingcheng immediately wanted to lead his father back to the bedroom.

But Julie stood up and objected: "Dad, since you mentioned repayment, let's pay the money first."

When the word money was mentioned, Su Daqiang immediately perked up, as if his half-awake consciousness had instantly become clear. "Two hundred thousand? Where did you get so much money?" Su Daqiang was quite shocked when he heard the amount.

Su Mingcheng said dissatisfiedly: "I sold my car to get this money, and I wanted to return it to my eldest brother as soon as possible." Then he added: "Dad, the more than one million is the pension that my eldest brother gave you. You should just transfer it directly to my dad's account."

Zhu Li said firmly: "Yes, we have obtained the consent of the eldest brother before. Mingcheng was supposed to give it to you tomorrow, but now he is giving it to you right now. The password is your birthday."

Su Daqiang quickly grabbed the bank card on the table and said with a smile: "I didn't expect you to be so anxious to repay the loan that you even sold your car. You're amazing."

In fact, Su Mingcheng was forced to do this under the threat of divorce from Zhu Li. The car was worth 400,000 yuan, and after deducting the car loan, there was 200,000 yuan left. But Zhu Li insisted on returning it to Zhang Yu first. Although Zhang Yu declined, he suggested that it be directly transferred to Su Daqiang. Su Mingcheng wanted to delay until Su Daqiang passed away. However, Zhu Li did not agree and the debt must be dealt with immediately.

"Lili, I don't know how to use this card. You will help me deposit it into the account tomorrow. I'm a little sleepy now. Go back to your room and have some rest." He held the card tightly and hurried back to the room, fearing that his son would change his mind.

As a father, he knew Su Mingcheng's temper very well. Therefore, he ordered Zhu Li to accompany him to the bank tomorrow.

The next morning, Su Daqiang got up before six and dragged Zhu Li to the bank. Most banks were closed on weekends, so they went to several banks and finally successfully deposited the money into the account.

Holding the brand new banknotes, Su Daqiang was in a good mood and immediately called his friend Master Nie to invite him to have tea and watch opera together in the afternoon. "Old Nie, I have a comfortable life. I had dinner last night and watched opera tonight. Have I made a fortune?" He said jokingly as soon as they met.

Su Daqiang smiled innocently and poured tea for Master Nie, saying, "My child is sensible and left me a generous living allowance, which I rarely use. I just want to find an old friend to chat and pass the time."

I hadn’t had enough of yesterday’s bragging yet, so I brought it up again today. Master Nie joked, “Come on, Lao Su, stop trying to do that, or I won’t accompany you next time.”

Su Daqiang grabbed Old Nie's arm and forced him to sit on the chair: "Since you are here, why are you in such a hurry to leave? Sit down and listen to the opera with me. My eldest son will take me to immigrate soon. I will never have the chance to enjoy this kind of pleasure again."

"Come on! I know your son is filial, there's no need to show off. You didn't even prepare the best tea for me to watch a play." Old Nie took a sip of tea and became dissatisfied.

He called the waiter and ordered, "Please bring another pot of top-grade Longjing."

"Oh, why waste it! A cup of Longjing is very expensive, ordinary tea will do." Su Daqiang felt distressed for saving.

"Don't worry about this small amount of money. I'll pay for it." Old Nie said, taking out a few hundred yuan from his pocket and slamming it heavily on the table.

"Wow! You're rich!" Su Daqiang said in surprise.

"Haha, I did make some small profit recently, which I can use to treat you to tea today." Old Nie was quite pleased with himself.

"Now that you're retired, do you have any other income besides your pension?" Su Daqiang asked puzzledly.

"You may not know this! I have been doing financial investment recently and have made a lot of money." Old Nie explained.

"Financial management?" Su Daqiang's eyes lit up. "My eldest son seems to have made his fortune through investment. Can you tell me about this?"

In the past, Su Daqiang was a money-grubber, and money was extremely important to him. When Zhao Meilan was still alive, he secretly bought lottery tickets in the dream of becoming rich overnight.

After hearing that Zhang Yu became rich, Su Daqiang was extremely envious, but the unattainable price was beyond his reach.

The annual return rate of the financial company recommended by Lao Nie exceeded 20%, and the investment was flexible. It just so happened that Su Mingcheng returned him 20 yuan the day before yesterday. After having the funds, Su Daqiang had other ideas.

Su Daqiang had no time to listen to the opera, and he was too lazy to even drink tea. He took Lao Nie and went directly to the investment company for an on-site inspection.

According to Lao Nie's description, the investment company's headquarters is located in the core business district of Suzhou City. It is a formal office building with an area of ​​more than 1,000 square meters. The large scale makes Su Daqiang feel at ease.

Then, Lao Nie introduced his financial advisor, a young woman in her twenties who spoke sweetly and immediately addressed Su Daqiang affectionately as "Grandpa" and "Grandpa", which made Su Daqiang very satisfied.

But even so, Su Daqiang remained cautious and did not immediately rush to invest money.

Seeing that the target had shifted, the woman began to sell to Lao Nie and showed him his profit figures for the previous two months.

Seeing that Lao Nie could earn thousands of yuan, Su Daqiang became even more envious and decided to invest 4 yuan to test the waters.

Financial management opened an account for Su Daqiang and deposited 4 yuan into it. An application was also installed on his mobile phone, which can track the account income in real time and every income can be clearly seen.

Su Daqiang stared at the screen and saw the numbers in his account rising bit by bit. He felt an indescribable satisfaction in his heart.

In the following days, he just held his phone tightly and stared at the rising account numbers. This made the couple feel weird. Why did Su Daqiang suddenly become so quiet?

It was only later that Zhu Li got Su Daqiang to reveal his financial investments.

Upon learning of this, Su Mingcheng and Zhu Li were very worried, fearing that Su Daqiang would fall into the hands of a scammer.

However, Su Daqiang was stubborn and thought that Su Mingcheng was eyeing the funds he had, so the father and son had a quarrel.

After the quarrel, Su Daqiang invested the 200,000 yuan in financial management out of spite, and the soaring total amount on the account made him extremely proud.

Seeing that he had no idea what to do with his father, Su Mingcheng immediately called Zhang Yu who was far away handling real estate matters.

At that time, Zhang Yu was dealing with a house sale transaction, and the offer was one million US dollars. He was satisfied with the price, so he quickly went through all the formalities with the agent and completed the house sale and transfer process.

After finishing the busy work and just when I was about to book a return ticket, Su Mingcheng called.

"Brother, come back soon! Dad has also started to play with financial management and has already invested 240,000 yuan." Su Mingcheng said anxiously.

As soon as Zhang Yufu landed, he turned on his mobile phone and received a series of messages, mostly from Su Mingcheng, and some from Su Daqiang.

"Hey, Mingcheng, is the problem resolved?" he asked.

On the other end of the phone, Su Mingcheng shouted anxiously: "Brother, Dad is admitted to the City Center Hospital, come quickly!"

Frowning, Zhang Yu thought that the financial company might have absconded with the money. "Why did Dad get hospitalized?" Then he instructed, "Send my dad back to the hospital immediately. I have booked a flight back to China and will arrive the day after tomorrow. If there is fraud, call the police immediately."

"Brother, are you afraid that there is something wrong with that financial management company?" Su Mingcheng asked worriedly.

"How can those formal investment companies give such high returns? Return the money quickly. If it doesn't work, call the police. Don't delay any longer. I'm afraid if it's too late, I won't have time to deal with it." Zhang Yu said calmly.

"Okay, I got it. I'll take Dad there right away." Su Mingcheng was also forced into impatience by the urgent situation.

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Yu secretly decided that it was time to take tough action against Su Daqiang.

When the plane landed, he immediately turned off the flight mode. The screen was filled with messages, mostly Su Mingcheng's urging and his anxiety. Zhang Yu asked, "Mingcheng, how is it going? Is Daqiang in trouble?"

"Brother, are you still there? My dad was suddenly admitted to the hospital! In the City Center Hospital." Although Su Mingyu's words were calm, she obviously didn't know the urgency of the situation.

"Dad is in the hospital, the City Central Hospital. Come over when you have time. I'm taking a taxi from the Shanghai Airport and will be there soon." Zhang Yu said concisely.

When Su Mingyu mentioned that her father was hospitalized again, she immediately panicked: "Is Dad sick again? How can Mingcheng not take good care of him!" Her words became stern.

"It's no use saying this now. Come to the hospital when you have time. I'll be there right away," Zhang Yu reminded.

After a brief silence, Su Mingyu responded, "I have something to do at the company and can't leave. I'll be there as soon as I'm done."

"Okay, I'll wait for you here." Zhang Yu hung up the phone, picked up his luggage and hurriedly took a taxi to Suzhou Central Hospital.

When he arrived, he just heard a commotion outside the ward. After opening the door, he saw Su Daqiang panting and standing on the windowsill in agitation, trying to jump down. Su Mingcheng and Zhu Li were beside him trying to comfort him.

After Zhang Yu entered the room and closed the door, he slowly put down his luggage, pulled a chair over and sat down by the window, as if everything had already been arranged.

Originally, Su Daqiang became more and more noisy because of the arrival of his eldest son, but after seeing this calm and composed performance, he was stunned?

Your father is about to jump off the building, but you sit down and chat. What does that mean? Are you here to watch the farce?

"Mingzhe, don't stop me. I have lost all my money. I've had enough of living, so I'll just forget it." Su Daqiang sobbed.

Zhang Yu raised his eyebrows, turned to look at Su Mingcheng, and asked calmly: "What's wrong? The investment failed, is it a scam?"

After listening to Su Mingcheng's angry explanation, "It's not an investment company at all. It's clearly a trap set by a scammer. It was emptied out right after I sent it there. I couldn't even find anyone there."

Then he turned to Julie and asked, "Did you call the police? What did the police say?"

"We called the police. They said the licenses were all forged and the legal person couldn't be found. I'm afraid it's unlikely that we can recover the money." Julie replied helplessly.

"When he heard that he couldn't get the money back, Dad fainted and we rushed him to the hospital immediately," Su Mingcheng added.

"What did the doctor say? How is Dad's condition?" Zhang Yu asked with concern.

"The doctor said it's okay. It might be because of the shock that caused the blood pressure to spike. Taking antihypertensive drugs will relieve it. Dad is in good spirits." Su Mingcheng replied.

Zhang Yu nodded: "Did the doctor say when I will be discharged?"

Seeing that Zhang Yu was not concerned about life or death but instead focused on specific matters, Su Daqiang became more and more noisy and his emotions became increasingly unstable.

Chapter 17 "My money! I can't get it back. I might as well die." Hearing this, Julie was shocked and immediately ran to comfort her father: "Dad, don't be depressed. Although money is important, you still have us children around you."
