Ice is not averse to deception

In fact, Wu Dayong, Sun Bin and Zhang Defa had known each other for a long time, but their relationship was not close from a legal point of view, and they were not even related as relatives.

At the age of thirteen, Wu Dayong and Sun Bing knelt hand in hand in front of Zhang Defa and recognized Zhang Defa as their godfather.

By the way, Zhang Defa was also a master of ice sculpting, and Sun Bing inherited this skill from Zhang Defa.

Yes, it's about passing down skills. In the old days, this kind of master-apprentice transmission of craftsmanship was very popular.

Sun Bing is an art student who developed a strong interest in carving at a very young age and is very passionate about this traditional hand carving culture.

Zhang Defa was the most important mentor in Sun Bing's "artistic career." When Sun Bing encountered difficulties, Zhang Defa gave him a lot of encouragement, which helped him persevere.

But now, the hardships of life have already shaken Sun Bing's resolve. He even fantasized that if he hadn't met Zhang Defa, he might have experienced a different life.

Perhaps it will be a brilliant life.

As Sun Bing thought this, a helpless expression involuntarily appeared on her face.

"And you're still talking," Aunt Wu interrupted Sun Bing's thoughts, sighing, "Yanji has called so many times, asking you to handle Zhang Defa's funeral arrangements, but you didn't go."

Wu Dayong shook his head: "The person is dead, there's no point in doing all that nonsense."

Wu Dayong wasn't really unwilling to go; it's just that he was burdened with debt and being harassed by creditors every day. He was in dire straits, so he had no time to consider those so-called favors.

Reality may seem cold and ruthless, but it is also full of helplessness.

"Sun Bing," Aunt Wu suddenly turned to Sun Bing and asked in confusion, "You're also Zhang Defa's godson, haven't they called you from Yanji?"

Sun Bing glanced at her phone, then, as if struck by a sudden realization, said somewhat awkwardly, "It might be because I changed my phone number before, so..."

Sun Bing didn't want to say that he did this to avoid Tiger's debt collection, although this method didn't work at all.

A moment of silence fell over the room.

Aunt Wu spoke up, but it was just a sigh: "The person is gone, and there's no one to handle the funeral arrangements. What are we going to do?"

Sun Bing naturally understood what Aunt Wu meant, but his own situation was even more difficult than Wu Dayong's, and he had no time to care about such trivial matters.

"or……"

Before Aunt Wu could even speak, Sun Bing interrupted, "I'll handle Godfather's funeral arrangements. I'm too busy right now; it'll have to wait a while."

Aunt Wu smiled broadly, "I always said that Sun Bing is the most sensible child, unlike you, who can't do anything right."

Sun Bing didn't know why he suddenly acted impulsively. Maybe it was the teacher-student bond in his bones, or maybe it was just to help Aunt Wu solve her problems... Who knows?

It was already evening, and Sun Bing did not have dinner at Wu Dayong's house.

Before leaving, Wu Dayong remembered the pendant on the table and gave it to Sun Bing.

Aunt Wu also remembered Zhang Defa's funeral arrangements and gave Sun Bing a phone number.

"Oh right, that two thousand yuan..." Wu Dayong said "wait a moment" and went back home. When he came out, Sun Bing had already disappeared.

He didn't have any money in his hand.

No sooner had Sun Bing left than Wu Dayong received a phone call from his girlfriend, Jiang Meimei.

  This book is first published on 101 Reading Network, offering a super smooth reading experience. Read anytime, anywhere (1011000.00), with error-free and orderly chapters.

"Baby, help me find someone to engrave a seal."

"Why would you need to make a seal?" Wu Dayong asked, puzzled.

"Oh, never mind that. The company needs it. Don't you know a lot of people?"

Wu Dayong didn't think much of it, assuming it was for Jiang Meimei's company, so he casually found someone in his WeChat contacts who made seals and sent them over.

He had no idea that the seal was made by Chen Bing, and he even casually told his girlfriend, "Don't say I pushed it; people in this line of work are very sensitive."

"Okay, you're such a busybody." Jiang Meimei hung up the phone immediately.

In the evening, Sun Bing made rice and sweet and sour pork for her daughter. Although it wasn't a fancy meal, it was the kind of food that Sun Xiaoni loved.

After finishing dinner and completing her work, it was already past 11 p.m. The chat software on her computer wasn't showing any activity, which meant that Sun Bing still wouldn't have many orders to do tomorrow.

Seeing that her daughter was already fast asleep, Sun Bing tiptoed to bed to rest and quickly fell asleep.

Sun Bing had a dream in which he received a call from the person in charge of the Ice and Snow World, who said that the Ice and Snow World had started construction and that Sun Bing should go there as soon as possible.

Sun Bing was packing her things to leave when her daughter, Sun Xiaoni, woke her up.

"Brother Bing! Brother Bing! Wake up!"

Seeing her daughter's anxious and flustered appearance, Sun Bing felt a sense of loss; such a beautiful dream had been interrupted.

But when she saw the message on her daughter's phone, Sun Bing tensed up instantly and jumped out of bed.

Liu Ruo wanted to come see Sun Xiaoni.

Liu Ruo has been back at her parents' home for more than two months, and has returned several times during that time.

Sun Bing knew that Liu Ruo still had feelings for him, especially for Sun Xiaoni. In Liu Ruo's heart, she didn't want the family to fall apart like this.

Therefore, the father and daughter took every time Liu Ruo came home very seriously, as this was the best opportunity for them to win her back.

Sun Xiaoni had already started cleaning, and Sun Bing was also busy and flustered.

"Life without a wife is tough," Sun Xiaoni complained, trying to get Sun Bing's attention. But seeing Sun Bing's embarrassed expression, she immediately changed her tune: "Children without mothers are so pitiful."

Sun Bin finally came to his senses and let out a long sigh of relief.

The room was already very clean, but Sun Bing still felt it wasn't enough. Turning her head, she saw under the bed and immediately pulled out the shoebox of the Nike shoes she had bought for her daughter a year ago. Of course, it was a high-quality replica from Putian.

I carefully wiped the dust off the shoebox before placing it in the most conspicuous spot on the shoe rack by the door.

"Brother Bing, this can't be serious, this is a scam!"

Sun Xiaoni immediately condemned Sun Bing's behavior, but then suddenly remembered something and rushed to the corridor outside the door.

When Sun Xiaoni returned, she was carrying a KFC family bucket box.

He placed the packaging box on the dining table and immediately turned to Sun Bing, asking, "Brother Bing, is this okay?"

Sun Bing was speechless, stunned by her daughter's absurd thinking, and gave her a thumbs-up in approval.

"No, who eats this for breakfast? It should be placed here."

The quirky Sun Xiaoni immediately put the packaging box in the trash can, but in order to let Liu Ruo see it, she deliberately raised the packaging box to reveal the KFC logo.

A mischievous little face looked at Sun Bing, and Sun Xiaoni scratched her head, asking, "Brother Bing, do you think I should cry later or what? How can I quickly win a woman's heart?"

Seeing Sun Bing's awkward yet polite smile, Sun Xiaoni shook her head repeatedly: "Forget it, this isn't your forte. I'll just do it myself."

Just as the father and daughter were discussing how to seize this opportunity, there was a knock at the door.

Before Sun Bing could react, Sun Xiaoni, like a rabbit, hopped and leaped onto Liu Ruo, plunging headfirst into Liu Ruo's arms with lightning speed.

"Ms. Liu Ruo, it's been ten days since you last visited. I've missed you terribly."

It must be said that Sun Xiaoni's acting skills have made a qualitative leap compared to the last time.

Before he could even react, Sun Xiaoni's question, "Brother Bing, don't you miss Ms. Liu Ruo?" completely turned Sun Bing's simple mind into a complete mess.

Subconsciously following Sun Xiaoni's script, he stretched out his arms to hug Liu Ruo, but unexpectedly, the next moment he found himself surrounded by nothing but empty air.

Liu Ruo brought breakfast, and seeing that her daughter hadn't eaten, she couldn't help but ask, "Why aren't you eating? Don't you like it?"

Sun Xiaoni immediately let out a burp, pretending to accidentally knock over the trash can, "I ate too much KFC yesterday, I'm a bit full, I need to catch my breath."

No one knows a daughter better than her mother, and Liu Ruo was well aware of Sun Xiaoni's little schemes.

Actually, Sun Xiaoni didn't want to do this, but KFC has a very special meaning for this family of three.

Sun Bing and Liu Ruo met at a KFC. Sun Xiaoni also loves KFC and celebrates her birthday there every year. Over the years, KFC has become a treasure trove of countless happy moments for the family of three.

Sun Xiaoni knew that reminiscing about good times was the easiest way to touch a woman's heart, but this kind of thing couldn't be said outright, as it would seem deliberate, so she cooperated with her father to complete this performance.

See? They shirked their responsibility in the blink of an eye.

"Eat quickly. I brought you some clothes, all of which you can wear now. I've put them in your bedroom."

Seeing that Liu Ruo had gone to the bedroom, Sun Xiaoni realized that Liu Ruo was already feeling something, so she immediately kicked Sun Bing, who was still eating heartily.

"Bing-ge, are you still eating?"

With just a glance from Sun Xiaoni, Sun Bing immediately understood what her daughter meant. She grabbed a fried dough stick, took a big bite, and then followed Liu Ruo into the bedroom.

"My daughter will be on winter break in a few days, and next semester..." Liu Ruo looked at Sun Bing. Although she had already returned to her parents' home, she was still concerned about Sun Bing's feelings.

"You mean the English class? I've already registered." Sun Bing clearly didn't understand what Liu Ruo meant.

"Not this one." Liu Ruo shook her head with a wry smile.

"Are you taking Nini to school? Don't worry, I have plenty of time."

Liu Ruo had reached her limit and, without further hesitation, immediately said, "I'm talking about the tuition for the English class. Of course I know you have plenty of time!"

Sun Bing then realized what was happening: "This... don't worry, it will be taken care of."

Liu Ruo sighed, put down her daughter's clothes, and turned to go outside.
