Chapter 472 Dad, Where Have You Been?

Zhao Meilan's health deteriorated faster than in the original drama. After all, without Su Daqiang to share the pressure from Su Mingcheng and her brother, she had to bear the consequences of her life alone.

Su Mingzhe, who was far away in the United States, and Su Mingyu, who was on a business trip in Japan, rushed back. Su Mingcheng was still in a daze at this time. He could not accept the fact that Zhao Meilan had passed away.

"Mr. Su, Su Mingyu's mother Zhao Meilan passed away, and Su Mingyu returned to Suzhou without asking for leave." Gao Jie came to Su Ning and reported the news.

"Zhao Meilan is dead?" Su Ning couldn't help but feel a little surprised. After all, it was only 2016.

"Yes! It happened yesterday. He died before he was even taken to the hospital."

"Gao Jie, please help me with something."

"Yes! Mr. Su."

"Buy a bouquet of flowers and send it to Zhao Meilan's grave."

"Okay! Need something written?"

"Need not!"

"Yes! Mr. Su, I will arrange for a courier to deliver it."

"Well, find an unfamiliar number to contact the florist. I don't want them to find me."

"Yes! Mr. Su."

Upon hearing the news of Zhao Meilan's death, Su Ningke did not feel anything. She and he were just two strangers, so of course he would not feel sad at all. The bouquet of flowers he sent to her could be regarded as this body's farewell to her!

Su Mingyu paid for all the expenses of Zhao Meilan's funeral. Because no one rushed her at work, the funeral went smoothly. When the courier delivered Suning's flowers to the cemetery, Su's relatives and friends were all surprised.

"Courier, who asked you to deliver this?" Su Mingcheng looked at the courier excitedly.

"I don't know either! This is an order I received from the flower shop." The courier also looked confused.

"Which flower shop is this?" Su Mingzhe looked at the courier excitedly.

"It's at the Tongde Flower Shop at No. 78 Tongdeli." The courier explained, then put down the flowers and turned away.

"Dad, my mom is dead, why don't you come out to see her for the last time?" Su Mingcheng shouted excitedly.

"Mingcheng, this is our mother's funeral. Don't shout here. Besides, our father is definitely not here." Su Mingzhe hurriedly stopped Su Mingcheng from making trouble.

"Brother, I must find our father and ask him in person why he is so cruel."

"That's enough! Su Mingcheng, are you done yet?"

The relatives and friends of the Su family all had different expressions. They didn't expect that Su Daqiang and Zhao Meilan would have such a big conflict. He didn't even attend Zhao Meilan's funeral, but just sent a bouquet of unnecessary flowers.

Zhao Meilan's departure ended her "wrong" life, but the evil consequences she caused still affected the three children of the Su family. Su Mingzhe, Su Mingyu and Su Mingcheng still had irreconcilable conflicts.

After the funeral, Su Mingzhe prepared to rush back to the United States, and Su Mingyu also wanted to return to Japan. Because Su Daqiang was not around, they didn't need to worry about buying a house for Su Daqiang, nor did Su Daqiang ask to go to the United States together.

"Mingcheng, Mingyu, I'm about to rush back to the United States. You still have to continue looking for our father." Su Mingzhe still gave instructions to Su Mingcheng and Su Mingyu before leaving.

"Brother, I won't look for him. It's useless to look for him even if he is so heartless." Su Mingcheng was still angry that Su Ning refused to attend Zhao Meilan's funeral.

"Mingcheng, you should be very clear about the conflict between our father and mother." Su Mingzhe looked at Su Mingcheng with a wry smile, feeling that Su Mingcheng didn't need to be so angry. "If it were you, would you forgive your significant other's betrayal?"

"Enough! I don't allow you to talk about our mother like that." Su Mingcheng looked at Su Mingzhe hysterically.

"Mingcheng, think about it carefully!" Looking at his still furious brother, Su Mingzhe continued to persuade him, "We don't have a mother anymore. We can't let our father wander around outside anymore."

"Brother, don't worry! I will continue to look for our dad in Shanghai and Suzhou." Su Mingyu, who was silent on the side, assured Su Mingzhe.

"Well, I will finish my work in the United States as soon as possible, and then return to China to look for our father."

Even though Su Mingcheng said that he would not look for Su Daqiang anymore, after Su Mingzhe and Su Mingyu left, he still continued to look for Su Daqiang everywhere. After all, this was the only father he had now.

Without Su Daqiang's harassment and burden, Su Mingzhe, Su Mingcheng, and Su Mingyu all lived a good life. However, Su Mingzhe was still fired by the company and became a poor unemployed vagrant.

"Su Mingzhe, I told you not to return, but you insisted on going back." Wu Fei looked at Su Mingzhe with a face full of resentment, "Now look what happened, you've been fired by the company."

"Isn't it normal to be unemployed in the United States? What's the big deal? At worst, you can just find a new job." Su Mingzhe said disapprovingly.

"Su Mingzhe, can you please sober up a little? This is not the time when you just graduated."

"Wu Fei, just for this job, should I not even attend my mother's funeral?" Su Mingzhe didn't understand Wu Fei's unreasonable behavior.

"Hmph! I don't bother with you."

Now that Su Daqiang's harassment is gone, Su Mingzhe's life is still a mess. After all, Su Mingzhe's character flaws are too obvious. When there is any disturbance in the job market, people like him are the first to be fired.

In Suzhou, a heavy rainstorm was happening at the moment. Because Su Mingyu was on a business trip in Japan, Cai Min was also kicked out of Suxin Technology by Suning. Now she was also having a quarrel with Suning, so Suning had to come here in person to take charge of Suxin Technology's affairs.

In fact, there was nothing particularly important. It was just a drinking party arranged by some leaders from Suzhou, and the Su Group had to attend. They also asked to meet the big boss Suning, so the retired Suning had to go out in person to deal with it.

Everyone went to this kind of banquet to bond with each other, and no one really ate anything. Instead, they drank a lot of wine, which made Suning's stomach feel very uncomfortable.

"Xiao Liu, please stop in front. I'll get off to have a bowl of noodles." Suning noticed a noodle shop on the side of the road and instructed the driver Xiao Liu.

"Yes! Mr. Su."

The driver, Xiao Liu, parked the car on the side of the road, then quickly took out an umbrella, opened it, ran to Suning's side, opened the back door, and helped Suning hold the umbrella and walk to the door of the noodle shop.

"Xiao Liu, do you want to go in and have a bowl of noodles?"

"Mr. Su, no thanks! I've already eaten at the restaurant."

"Okay then! Just wait for me in the car."

"Yes! Mr. Su." Although the driver Xiao Liu had been holding an umbrella for him, because it was a heavy rain today, Su Ning's clothes were still wet.

"Please give me a bowl of vegetarian noodles."

"Big bowl or small bowl?"

"The small bowl is ready."

"A small bowl costs ten yuan." Suning directly took out ten yuan, then sat aside and started eating. Thinking about it, it seemed like he hadn't eaten vegetarian noodles for more than ten years. The last time he had eaten it was in 2006 when he just crossed over. He ate a bowl before leaving Suzhou for Shanghai.

Soon the waiter brought a small bowl of vegetarian noodles, and Suning started to eat it with relish. After taking a few mouthfuls of noodles, Suning felt his stomach feel better.

Just as Suning was drinking soup from his bowl of noodles, he saw a face covered in acne approaching him. The face then shouted in surprise to the bewildered Suning, "Dad! I finally found you."

"Huh? Who are you calling dad? You've got the wrong person." Suning certainly didn't want to contact this person anymore. This person was none other than his "second son" Su Mingcheng.

"Dad, I'm Su Mingcheng! Your second son."

"Sorry! You got the wrong person." Suning took out a napkin and stood up to leave. He really didn't want to have any more entanglement with him.

"Dad!" Su Mingcheng actually knelt down and burst into tears in public. "Dad, do you know how hard I've been looking for you these past few years?"

"I" Su Ning was really speechless at this time. I only saw Su Mingcheng crying with snot and tears, and it was really sad to hear him crying.

"Oh! Old man, your son is so filial, you should go home with him quickly!" Soon, the diners who were unaware of the situation expressed their opinions.

"Shut up! You know nothing, so stop talking nonsense." Suning looked at the nosy diner and said very rudely.

"How can you be so rude?" The diner was also stunned by the furious Suning.

"Su Mingcheng, if you don't let me go, I'm going to call the police."

"Dad, just call the police. I won't let you go." Su Mingcheng looked up at Su Ning with tears and snot.

"Fuck off!"

Su Ning was not the old, weak and sick Su Daqiang. He struggled hard to break free from Su Mingcheng's arms and ran quickly out of the store, hoping to get rid of Su Mingcheng's entanglement as soon as possible.

At this time, the driver Xiao Liu in the car outside also noticed the situation in the store. He ran over without even opening an umbrella and asked, "Mr. Su, what's wrong?"

"It's okay! Let's get in the car and leave here." Suning looked at his "son" Su Mingcheng who was chasing him relentlessly, and hurriedly urged the driver Xiao Liu.

"Then Mr. Su, please be careful."

Suning and the driver Xiao Liu got into the luxury car again. As soon as the door was closed and before the car started, Su Mingcheng caught up with them. He lay directly on the front of the luxury car with a rogue look on his face.

"Mr. Su, what should we do next?" The driver Xiao Liu did not expect this situation to happen.

Suning looked at the scoundrel lying in front of the car and the crowd watching the excitement at the door of the noodle shop. He felt helpless at this moment. "Xiao Liu, I will get off the car and go with him. You can just go back!"

"Ah? That's impossible, let's call the police!"

"No need to call the police! I know this guy. He's an acquaintance of mine."

"Ah? Okay then!" Anyone who can be a Suning driver must be smart and quickly realized that there was something hidden.

Su Ning got out of the luxury car directly, then looked at his rogue "son" in the front of the car with a wry smile, "Su Mingcheng, you bastard, get out of here right away!"

"Dad! You finally agreed to go home with me." Su Mingcheng left the front of the car in surprise, then ran over and hugged Su Ning tightly, fearing that Su Ning would leave again.

Seeing that there were no "rogues" blocking the way, driver Xiao Liu started the luxury car and drove away. Only then did Su Mingcheng react, "Dad, who is this person driving the Maybach?"

"I'm just a friend! You're not going to leave me out here in the rain, are you?"

"Ah? Dad, this Wrangler is my car, let's go home quickly!" Su Mingcheng finally came to his senses.

Suning followed Su Mingcheng into a red Wrangler next to them, and was then taken home by the surprised Su Mingcheng. Su Mingcheng's home was a two-bedroom, one-living room apartment, just like in the original drama.

Zhu Li still felt very embarrassed when she saw the two wet rats appearing in the house. "Mingcheng, what's wrong with you?"

"Zhu Li, this is our dad. I finally found him." Without bothering to answer Zhu Li's question, Su Mingcheng pointed at Su Ning and introduced him to Zhu Li with a happy face.

"Ah? Dad?"

"Ahem! Stop yelling! I've severed ties with Su Mingcheng and his two siblings."

"Ah?" Zhu Li was also shocked by Suning's indifferent attitude.

"Dad, stop talking. Go to the bathroom and take a hot shower, then change into clean clothes. Don't catch a cold." Su Mingcheng didn't care about Su Ning's indifference.

"Hmph!" Suning went straight to the bathroom and took a comfortable bath.

At this time, Su Mingcheng took out a set of clean clothes and went into the bathroom. "Dad, these are my clothes. You can make do with them for now. I will go shopping with you tomorrow."

Su Ning took the clothes without saying anything, and put them on without any hesitation. When Su Mingcheng saw Su Ning putting on her clothes, he was about to turn around and leave the bathroom.

"Su Mingcheng, my phone got wet, so you used a hair dryer to dry it for me."

"Okay! Dad, I'll blow dry your phone for you right now." Su Mingcheng took out the hair dryer from the bathroom and Su Ning's phone and left.

Seeing Su Mingcheng with a smile on his face drying his phone with a hair dryer, Zhu Li turned to look towards the bathroom again. Then, with lingering fear, she looked at Su Mingcheng and said, "Mingcheng, why is your father so fierce?"

"Juli, my dad is just a coward. He used to be very honest in his old house in Tongdeli." Su Mingcheng explained indifferently.

"Ah? Does that mean he doesn't like me?"

"Julie, stop imagining it. I spent a lot of effort to bring him back today."

"Okay then! I'll make the bed for him." Zhu Li turned around helplessly and went to make the bed for Su Ning.

Soon, Su Ning came out of the bathroom wearing Su Mingcheng's clothes. Looking at Su Mingcheng who was drying his phone, he asked, "Is your phone dry?"

"Dad, it's done." Su Mingcheng handed the phone to Su Ning with a smile.

Su Ning took his phone, then sat directly on the sofa and turned it on. "Dad, why don't you turn it on later? It will be safer this way."

"It's okay! My phone is waterproof."

Soon, Su Ning's phone rang with the unique Su Xin phone startup tone, and then Su Mingcheng said something to make conversation, "Dad, you're still using the Su Xin 6? I'll buy you the latest Su Xin 9 tomorrow."

"No need! This is good enough." Suning turned on his mobile phone and sent messages to his three women while casually dealing with his "second son" beside him.

"Dad, where have you been for the past ten years?"
