Chapter 137 Don't Slip When Walking

Lin Yuan called the police and briefly explained the situation of Su Daqiang being defrauded. He then hurriedly sent Su Daqiang, who was lying on the ground in a trance, to the hospital.

It was funny to see him trembling, groaning, and unable to walk.

After arriving at the hospital and settling Su Daqiang, Lin Yuan quickly walked to a quiet corner. Instead of rushing to notify Su Mingcheng and Su Mingyu, he called Zhu Li first.

"Lili, please come to the city hospital. Su Daqiang is in the hospital."

When Zhu Li heard the news, she hurriedly asked for leave from her boss and rushed over in a hurry.

After Lin Yuan waited for Zhu Li downstairs, he took her around turns and walked into an empty storage room.

Julie was wearing a cartoon sweater today, with a black coat draped elegantly over her arms. The slim leather skirt perfectly outlined her curves. Her slender legs were wrapped in thin flesh-colored stockings, and she was wearing a pair of exquisite black patent leather high heels. She looked fashionable and capable.

Lin Yuan pushed Zhu Li against the wall and teased her, "Why haven't I seen you wearing black stockings?"

Although she had many intimate contacts with Lin Yuan, in this small space, Zhu Li's pretty face still blushed visibly. Her big eyes were shining as she looked at Lin Yuan with watery eyes. She answered in a mosquito-like voice, "I'm afraid it's not good to wear it to work."

Lin Yuan lifted Julie's right leg and passed his arm through her knee, feeling the delicate touch of the stockings that were slightly transparent to the flesh. Julie lowered her head shyly.

"It's getting cold, wear thick black stockings next time."

Julie's face turned even redder, and she just nodded slightly without saying anything.

Lin Yuan's hands were gently caressing her body, and gradually, he found that there was something wrong with Julie's expression.

Julie was seen biting her lips, tears welling up in her eyes, sparkling with crystal tears.

"Everything is fine, what happened?" Lin Yuan put away his smile, gently put down her legs, and asked with concern.

"Lin Yuan, I feel so bad right now." Zhu Li choked with sobs, with a hint of helplessness in her voice, "I don't know how to talk to Mingcheng about this. It's obviously me who let him down, but I..."

She has been thinking about these things every day these days. She knows that she can no longer deceive herself, but she also cannot bear to hurt Su Mingcheng. This contradictory mentality makes her very painful.

Julie's pitiful appearance aroused his desire to protect her, but at the same time it also made him want to bully her even more.

Lin Yuan gently embraced her in his arms and said softly, "Lili, don't wait until the harm has happened before you regret not making a decision earlier. What I said is not groundless."

Julie asked in confusion, "What do you mean?"

"To tell you the truth, Su Mingcheng recently borrowed money from me, two hundred thousand."

Zhu Li's eyes widened, full of astonishment and confusion: "What? How come I don't know anything about it? What is he going to do with so much money?"

Lin Yuan thought to himself, of course you don’t know, because I made it up.

According to his speculation, Su Mingcheng should not have accompanied his leader, Manager Zhou, to inspect the factory yet.

But I guess it won’t take long.

Given Su Mingcheng's character, he would definitely ask me to borrow money at that time, so this could not be considered a deception, it was just a prophecy at best.

The reason he said this was just to let Julie put aside her worries temporarily and not look so worried.

"He said he wanted to make an investment. I think he'll tell you after a while."

"He wants to invest?" Julie's eyes flashed with uneasiness.

"Just like Su Daqiang in this hospital, he wants to make a lot of money through investment. I can't say whether he makes money or loses money, but scammers like people like him the most."

"Did you lend it to him?" Julie asked nervously.

"Why would I lend him so much for no reason?"

Zhu Li breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately Lin Yuan was a sober and rational person.

"Investment is actually a disguised form of gambling. Do you really have to wait until he loses all the money from selling his house and car before considering it?" Lin Yuan pulled the corner of Zhu Li's mouth, trying to make her relax a little. "If you don't believe it, you will know it in a few days. Even if I didn't show up, you would still end up getting divorced."

To be honest, Lin Yuan understood Zhu Li's feelings and knew her inner struggle. She was nostalgic for her past marriage life, but also found it difficult to resist the feelings between her and him, so he didn't want to force her too eagerly.

The more understanding there is at this time, the more comfort and peace of mind Julie will feel.

After all, according to the original plot, in a month or so, Zhu Li and Su Mingcheng's marriage will come to an end. He only needs to give it a gentle push based on the original plot. In less than a month, he is still patiently waiting.

"Is this really the case?" Julie raised her head, still with a hint of confusion and uncertainty in her eyes.

"Of course. I told you I'm very good at judging people. Just wait and see."

After hearing Lin Yuan's solemn promise, Zhu Li didn't know why, but the heavy burden on her heart seemed to be lightened a lot at once.

"Hmm~"

Looking at Zhu Li's delicate face, Lin Yuan kissed her on the forehead and blurted out sweet words: "In fact, I could have waited for Su Mingcheng to lose you before contacting you, but I just can't wait that long, not even for a moment."

After being coaxed by him, Julie felt much better. She blushed and said shyly, "Can you please stop touching me and saying such things? My stockings are about to pill."

Seeing that Zhu Li was joking with him, Lin Yuan also said with a smile: "You are teasing me, right? Then I will help you tear it off."

"No!" Julie scolded quickly.

How can she face people if her good stockings have several big holes?

Looking at her coquettish look, Lin Yuan gently lifted Julie's chin, slowly leaned over and kissed her pink lips.

The two people's breath intertwined with each other, hot and lingering.

It was not until the sound of two cleaning ladies talking came from far away that Zhu Li woke up instantly. After straightening her inner garment, she buried her head in Lin Yuan's arms in panic, fearing that she would be seen.

"What are you doing here?" one of the cleaning ladies asked loudly.

"We took the wrong road." Lin Yuan looked calm. After explaining casually, he put his arm around Julie's shoulders and walked out, and together they returned to the corridor outside the ward.

Only then did Lin Yuan take out his cell phone and called Su Mingyu and Su Mingcheng respectively to inform them of the news that Su Daqiang was hospitalized.

"Mingyu, please come to the city hospital. Uncle is in the hospital. Please come and tell me the details."

"Brother, please come to the city hospital. Uncle is in the hospital. Please come and tell us the details."

Su Daqiang was staying in a single room. He was receiving an IV drip. In the quiet atmosphere, Lin Yuan quietly pulled Zhu Li into the bathroom.

Half an hour later, Zhu Li felt her feet were sticky. Lin Yuan bit her earlobe and whispered, "Walk steadily, don't slip."

Zhu Li pursed her lips gently, with a complicated expression on her face, a mixture of shame and annoyance. She scolded, "Why do you always refresh my cognition again and again!"

Lin Yuan smiled and responded: "You said it yourself."

Julie's pretty face flushed. Although her clothes were not soiled and she had not taken anything orally, the feeling was too strange.

Not long after, Su Mingcheng and Su Mingyu came to the hospital ward one after another in a hurry.

Su Daqiang was lying quietly on the bed receiving an IV drip, his eyes empty and lifeless, not saying a word.

The doctor stepped forward and introduced to everyone: "The old man was mentally overstimulated. It seems that there is no big problem now. He can be discharged after being observed for half a day. You need to take good care of him when you go home. He has high blood pressure and cannot have emotional fluctuations."

After explaining this, the doctor turned around steadily and left the ward.

Su Mingyu and Zhu Li hurriedly said in unison: "Thank you, doctor."

Su Mingcheng wondered: "Why is the mental stimulation too great?"

Su Mingyu walked straight to Lin Yuan who was standing at the door and asked, "Lin Yuan, what is going on?"

Lin Yuan glanced at Su Mingyu, Su Mingcheng, and Zhu Li in turn, and said softly, "Come out and tell me."

Outside the ward, Su Mingcheng and Su Mingyu looked at Lin Yuan anxiously.

Lin Yuan said slowly: "Uncle contacted me suddenly today and said that he wanted to take me to invest in financial management. But when I went there today, I found that the place was empty and the more than 60,000 yuan that uncle invested was gone."

"My dad invests money?"

"Over 60,000 yuan was all swindled away?"

Lin Yuan nodded solemnly: "I have already called the police and the police station has also filed a report. For more details, you should ask him in person."

For a moment, everyone fell silent and looked at each other.

He was defrauded of more than 60,000 yuan in one go, which is not a small amount of money.

Su Mingcheng frowned and was silent for a moment, then he put his hands on his hips and quickly walked back to the ward.

Seeing this, Su Mingyu followed closely behind.

Zhu Li was a little slower, following closely, but she felt a sticky feeling with every step she took, as if the soles of her feet were stepping on glue. Looking at the barely perceptible smirk on Lin Yuan's face, she thought to herself that this guy was so hateful. She really wanted Lin Yuan to taste this uncomfortable feeling.

At this time, Su Daqiang covered his face tightly with a quilt. After this incident, he was too ashamed to face his children.

"Tell me, what's going on?"

"Who helped you manage your finances? Was it that Old Nie?"

"I know you didn't sleep. You were cheated out of more than 60,000 yuan. You have to explain it clearly."

Seeing Su Daqiang hiding motionless in the quilt and not responding to him, Su Mingcheng suddenly pulled back the quilt.

Su Daqiang had his eyes closed, his teeth biting his fingers tightly, his body trembling slightly, and sobs coming from his throat.

"What's the point of you crying now? Mom said you're not destined to get rich, but you still want to make extra money! It's over 60,000 yuan, what do you say I should do now?"

Zhu Li was secretly glad in her heart that she listened to Lin Yuan and did not rush to pay back the money, otherwise she would have been cheated out of 80,000 yuan this time.

She gently dissuaded him, "Alright, alright."

Su Daqiang cried, "I was wrong, Mingcheng. I shouldn't have disobeyed you. I really wasn't destined to get rich!"

Su Mingyu looked at Su Daqiang's pitiful appearance and was about to say something when the cell phone in her pocket suddenly rang. It was her master Lao Meng calling, so she had no choice but to walk out of the ward to answer the call.

When Su Mingyu finished the call and re-entered the ward, the scene in front of her startled her.

Su Daqiang was sitting by the window, crying and shouting, "What dignity do I have left to live with? Just let me go with your mother."

Su Mingcheng said anxiously: "Alright, alright, I don't blame you anymore, stop making trouble, or you will really fall down."

Zhu Li's gentle voice was also filled with anxiety: "Dad, even if you jump down, you won't be able to get the money back. This is too dangerous. Come down quickly."

Lin Yuan saw through it clearly. Su Daqiang did this just to act like he was in pain so that the children would not blame him but would only comfort and sympathize with him.

It's like an exam in school. When students do poorly, parents will be angry and dissatisfied. But when students do poorly and lose their appetite and look depressed, parents look at their children's pain and often only have comfort and encouragement. Su Mingyu has been in the business world for many years, so how could she not see this?

"Dad, if you want to jump, just jump. Then you can see my mom." Su Mingyu said expressionlessly.

Su Daqiang was stunned and didn't know what to do. The script shouldn't be like this.

Su Mingyu continued, "Just jump down, and we'll all be relieved."

Su Mingcheng was puzzled and complained: "Are you sick?"

Su Mingyu didn't bother to pay attention to Su Mingcheng at all. She just said to herself: "With your current physical condition, you can live at least 20 years. A monthly pension of 5,000 yuan is 60,000 yuan a year, and 1.2 million yuan in 20 years. If you jump now, you will lose 1.2 million yuan. If you don't jump, you will only lose 60,000 yuan, and this does not include the money our children have given you. Think about it carefully, right? Are you still going to jump?"

Su Daqiang said nothing and just kept shaking his head.

Su Mingyu said calmly to everyone, "You guys go out for a while. I want to talk to Dad alone."

Su Daqiang and Su Mingyu acted pitifully, and the implication was undoubtedly that the second brother and his wife were not good to them, so they wanted to earn some extra money.

Su Mingyu, who had just been criticized by Lao Meng, was already feeling upset and depressed. When she heard Su Daqiang complain about being wronged in the young couple's home, she immediately became furious.

She walked out indignantly and scolded Su Mingcheng, "Su Mingcheng, let me ask you, how do you manage Dad? If he can't see through such a stupid scam, can't you see through it too?"

Su Mingben was already unhappy, and was accused by Su Mingyu without any basis. His face was full of annoyance: "Don't act like a spoiled child right away? We just found out about this."

"He lives in your house, and investing is not something that can be done in a day or two. If you care about him more, wouldn't you know it?"

Su Mingcheng was also very excited: "We pay him back every month and give him living expenses every day. How can I care if you tell me what I did wrong?"

Su Mingyu snorted coldly: "Yes, without the money you pay back, I can't get the total of 60,000."

Su Mingcheng's eyes widened and he shouted angrily, "What do you mean? Then we are wrong to pay back the money, right?"

"Don't you know about Dad's old habits? By giving him so much money, aren't you indirectly contributing to his mistakes?" Su Mingyu continued to accuse him mercilessly.

Zhu Li was also a little angry. Her sister-in-law was too aggressive. Why were the Su family members so unreasonable? Whenever something happened, they would put all the blame on them.

Zhu Li took a deep breath and tried to make her tone sound calmer, but she couldn't help but said with a hint of grievance:
"Mingyu, this is what happened. After we returned the money to Dad, we repeatedly told him to deposit it in the bank, but Dad wouldn't listen. He said it was his money and he wouldn't let us manage it. So what do you think we should do?"

Su Mingyu's tone softened a little: "Second sister-in-law, Dad is old now and his memory is not good. At least you should check the accounts."

"No, Mingyu, didn't I just tell you that Dad doesn't listen? He doesn't want us to manage his money."

Su Daqiang was afraid that Su Mingcheng would come to him for support again, so how could he possibly show the accounts to Su Mingcheng and his wife?

Su Mingcheng was so angry that he didn't care that they were in the hospital. He shouted, "How can you be right about everything? Dad hangs out with his bad friends all day and doesn't even come home for meals. How can I control him?"

Su Mingyu snorted disdainfully: "Dad doesn't go home, why doesn't he go home? He wants to be comfortable at your house, how can he not go home? It's because you treat him badly that he wants to make more money and do that crappy investment."

For some reason, when Lin Yuan saw this scene, only eight words flashed through his mind: It's easy to find a pretext to accuse someone of a crime.

Su Mingyu has a sharp tongue and she is really merciless when she talks back at Su Mingcheng.

"What are you doing? Su Mingyu, are you here to cause trouble?"

Su Mingyu retorted mercilessly: "Who is looking for trouble for whom? If you had managed him well, would there have been so many messed up things? How many things have been delayed by these messes?"

Su Mingcheng waved his arms and shouted angrily: "Get out! Get out now! Get out now!"

Su Mingyu looked at Su Mingcheng deeply, then turned and left.

Lin Yuan quickly chased after him, called Su Mingyu and said, "Mingyu, actually, uncle told me before that he wanted to live with you for a while. He also wanted to live with you for a while before going to the United States."

Su Mingyu was surprised and asked, "Really?"

Lin Yuan nodded affirmatively.

Seeing this, Su Mingyu returned to the ward and asked softly, "Dad, do you want to stay with me after you are discharged from the hospital?"

Su Daqiang had really wanted to go, but now all his 60,000 yuan was gone. He was so short of money that he felt uncomfortable wherever he lived and had no time to think about where to live.

Su Daqiang whispered, "Dad just wants the money back now, and doesn't want anything else."

Two days later, Lin Yuan and Su Mingyu set up a trap and pretended that the money they had defrauded had been recovered. Su Daqiang became visibly more energetic, as if he had been revived.

When he returned to Su Mingcheng's home, his face was full of smiles and he looked exceptionally relaxed and happy, completely different from the depressed state he had been after being cheated of his money.

Zhu Li knew that Su Mingyu paid the money out of her own pocket, but she still pretended to be ignorant and asked, "Dad, how did you get the money back?"

Su Daqiang laughed: "It was Mingcheng's idea."

The corners of Su Mingcheng's mouth rose slightly unconsciously, and a hint of pride appeared on his face.

"He asked me to find Mingyu. You know what, Mingyu is really capable. She came back as soon as he and Xiaolin urged her for money. Mingyu is not a child that we have raised in vain. She is really capable."

Su Mingcheng's face immediately fell. Su Daqiang's words implied that he had raised the child in vain and that he had no ability. He immediately felt uncomfortable.

Zhu Li laughed dryly and echoed, "Mingyu is really amazing."

"I will listen to Mingyu from now on. I will do whatever Mingyu tells me to do. I've really bothered you these days. After all, with your abilities, this matter is really difficult for you."

Su Mingcheng was indignant. Su Mingyu only had a few bucks, yet she acted so proudly.

However, when I thought about Su Daqiang getting his 60,000 yuan back, it would be perfect to use the money for investment.

He inspected the factory with Manager Zhou this afternoon and felt that this was a rare opportunity to make money. He has verbally agreed to Manager Zhou's proposal to invest in the factory.

"As for me, I'm going to move to Mingyu's house tomorrow," Su Daqiang continued.

"Dad, are you moving away?" In addition to surprise, there was also a hint of joy on Su Mingcheng's face.

Finally I can get rid of this living father.

He wanted to see how Su Mingyu could take care of Su Daqiang.

"Yes."

Su Mingcheng said quickly: "Lili and I will take you out for a meal tonight, just to celebrate your return of the money."

The dinner table.

Su Mingcheng became eloquent. Not only did he not blame Su Daqiang for his investment behavior, but he also said things like "investment failure is not necessarily a bad thing", "it depends on what you invest in", and "investing in industry is the most stable"...

Julie immediately sensed something was wrong.

Especially when she heard Su Mingcheng's intentional or unintentional hints that he wanted Su Daqiang to take out the money for investment, she finally confirmed her guess.

However, Su Daqiang suffered a loss this time and he dared not do anything rash again. He just said that the money had been deposited in a fixed deposit and he could not withdraw it even if he wanted to.

Su Mingcheng could not hide his disappointment. After returning home, Su Mingcheng smiled and said to Zhu Li in a flattering way: "Lili, I have reflected deeply during this period of time, and I have realized my mistakes."

Zhu Li looked at him coldly and asked expressionlessly, "What did you mean by saying those things to Dad at the dinner table today?"

Su Mingcheng hesitated for a moment and said, "I want to invest in it."

"Su Mingcheng, you really didn't disappoint me. Dad just got scammed in financial management, and now you're talking to me about investing again?"

Su Mingcheng defended himself anxiously, "You are always eager to deny others. Why don't you listen to what this project is about?"

Zhu Li took a deep breath and said, "Okay, go ahead."

"This project is like this. Sister Zhou and her former client are going to open a factory together. I will invest money in it, so I will be a shareholder. Once the factory opens, it will be profitable. The two of them will work together, have connections and resources, and will definitely make money."

Su Mingcheng spoke with great excitement, as if he had already seen piles of money waving at him.

"If it's a sure win, why would they take you with them? Can you use your brain and think about it?"

Zhu Li found Su Mingcheng's naivety ridiculous. How could pie fall from the sky?

"Sister Zhou, this is Sister Zhou's project. She can't possibly lie to me. Others are trying their best to get involved, but they can't get in."

"So how do you plan to cooperate? What is the time and amount of the first investment? Is there a possibility of additional investment? What is the annual return?"

Su Mingcheng was a little confused by the question: "What are you talking about?"

Seeing this, Zhu Li was speechless, thinking that Su Mingcheng didn't even know these basic things, yet he dared to invest rashly.

"So how much money are you going to invest?" Julie asked, suppressing her anger.

"Others have invested 500,000 yuan. I don't have that much money, so I'll invest 300,000 yuan first." Su Mingcheng said cautiously, while observing Zhu Li's expression.

Zhu Li crossed her arms and stared at Su Mingcheng: "Where does the money come from? Do you have 300,000?"

"Shouldn't I discuss this with you?" Su Mingcheng replied lacking confidence.

Julie said firmly: "I can't afford that much money."

"Yes, yes, wait for me to finish. I want to hold off on paying back our father's money for the time being and borrow some from your parents."

"You're addicted to relying on your parents, right? You even don't let my parents go. Don't even think about it."

Su Mingcheng was a little anxious: "Sister Zhou has already agreed. If I can't pay, how can I survive in the company in the future?"

"You have no money, so why are you trying to be so powerful? You will lose everything when the time comes. Don't expect me to clean up the mess for you."

Su Mingcheng blamed him: "Don't be unhappy with what I say. I think it is very likely that we will lose a lot of money because of your short-sightedness."

A determined look flashed in Zhu Li's eyes: "If you insist on investing, don't blame me for not warning you."

"If you don't support me, I'll have to borrow from someone else." Su Mingcheng also got angry and said with his neck stiff.

Julie pointed at the door and yelled, "Get out! I don't want to see you!"

Su Mingcheng walked towards the door holding his pillow and quilt, and before leaving, he did not forget to say, "You should also reflect on this carefully."

Zhu Li breathed a sigh of relief. Lin Yuan was right. Su Mingcheng was really possessed. The two of them still owed Su Daqiang a debt of over 100,000 yuan, and now they had to spend another 300,000 yuan to invest. It was really crazy.

It was a Saturday in November and the weather was slightly cool.

Thanks to Su Mingyu's secret help, Su Mingzhe successfully joined LK Company with an annual salary of up to 120,000 US dollars.

His job requires him to be stationed in Shanghai, so Wu Fei took a special annual leave, hoping to take this opportunity to bring Xiao Mi back to China to visit.
