CHAPTER 63

"Hello? I'm at my grandparents' house. Yes, my dad is here too. What are you doing? I'm fine with anything. You adults can handle your own affairs. Okay, I'll eat. I'm busy."

Xu Ran hung up the phone impatiently and threw it on the table, looking a little unhappy. "Ran Ran, what did your mother tell you?"

Xu Fuhai's mother asked with some concern. "Just tell me to have dinner with you and let you guys go too."

Xu Ran continued to cook the braised pork while talking. "Ran Ran, be careful with your tone when you talk to your mother in the future. After all, she is your mother."

Xu Fuhai looked at his unhappy daughter and reminded her. "I know, Dad, I just don't want to talk to her. She didn't care about me when I was little, and now she comes to pretend to care about me. What have you been doing?"

Xu Ran said. Seeing that his father didn't say anything, Xu Ran continued, "Dad, I guess their family's invitation to dinner is fake, they just want your money. If I were you, I'd say you shouldn't go. Let's not go and ignore them!"

"Hey, kid, why are you obsessed with money at such a young age? I'm telling you, your mom and I have our own business, we can handle it ourselves, so don't get involved!"

Xu Fuhai glared at her and scolded her. "That's right! Besides, I'm already a sophomore, I'm not a kid anymore."

Xu Ran pouted and said, "You are a freshman! You are on summer vacation now, and school will only start as a sophomore!"

Xu Fuhai reminded. "Hey, stop talking about the child at the dinner table. When did your father and I ever talk about you when you were a child? Eat first, and then talk about it after dinner!"

Xu Fuhai's mother picked up a piece of braised pork for her son and said repeatedly. Since his mother had spoken, Xu Fuhai naturally did not dare to say anything to Xu Ran, and began to drink with his father. His father liked to drink, but his alcohol tolerance was average. He usually only drank a small cup, two taels. Today, perhaps because his son and granddaughter were home, he was happy and drank half a cup more, which caused Xu Fuhai's mother to nag again. After dinner, Xu Fuhai's mother and Xu Ran cleaned up the kitchen, and only the father and son were left in the room. Xu Fuhai brewed a pot of the best Xinyang Maojian, and the father and son chatted while drinking. "Son, if you ask me, we still have to go. Why not? If we don't go, it seems that our Xu family is stingy! Although you are divorced, Ranran is your child after all. If it gets out that you don't even let your child see his own mother, your reputation will not be good!"

Xu Fuhai's father took a sip of tea and said, "Dad, I'll listen to you. If you say go, I'll go. But you know what their family is like. If they say something unpleasant or make excessive demands, don't blame me for not caring about the elders' face."

Xu Fuhai also took a sip of tea and said leisurely. "Okay, I didn't know you yet! I didn't agree with you two being together in the beginning! For so many years, I was only doing this for Ranran. Now that you have made progress and have your own opinions, Dad is so happy. What's the point of being embarrassed? That thing was earned by yourself, not given by others!"

Xu Fuhai's father said in a serious tone. Xu Fuhai nodded silently, feeling happy that his father was so reasonable. "The only thing Dad is worried about now is that you are so old, and you have to raise a child alone after the divorce. Now Ranran is also grown up, so if you find someone suitable, you can find another one. It's not easy to live alone."

The old man patted Xu Fuhai on the shoulder and said, "Dad, don't worry about this. I know what's going on."

Xu Fuhai didn't want to dwell on this topic. After experiencing a failed marriage, Xu Fuhai was completely disappointed with married life. He preferred the current situation, staying together when they were comfortable, and separating when they were uncomfortable. For the rest of his life, he just wanted to please himself. After chatting with his father for a while, a loud voice suddenly came from the main room. "Third uncle, I'm here!"

Along with this voice, a tall and burly man walked into the inner room. "Zhu Zi is here! Come, sit down and have a drink of water!"

Xu Fuhai's father greeted him with a smile. Xu Fuhai also looked at Zhuzi. After not seeing him for so many years, the kid who used to play behind him has grown taller than him. "Hey, Brother Fuhai, when did you come?"

Zhuzi sat down and took a sip of tea, then greeted Xu Fuhai with a smile. "I came here at noon, Zhuzi. I haven't seen you for so many years. I almost didn't recognize you. Your head has grown really big!"

Xu Fuhai patted Zhuzi on the shoulder and said, "Hey, my dad said I just grew up to be a big fool."

Zhuzi said with a simple smile, "You have been away for several years."

Xu Fuhai asked with a smile. "Twelve years. If it weren't for my poor academic qualifications, I might have stayed."

Zhuzi said, shaking his head and sighing. "It's okay. A real man can make a name for himself anywhere! By the way, Zhuzi, do you have a partner?"

Xu Fuhai asked casually. "How old are you and you still don't have a partner? Her child is already 3 years old!"

Xu Fuhai's father said at the side. Xu Fuhai felt embarrassed immediately. That's right, he is almost 40 years old, and the friend who used to chase him is also over 30 years old, right? How can he not get married at such an old age? "Haha, my brother Fuhai works in the city all year round and rarely comes home. I don't know if it's normal."

Zhuzi smiled and helped Xu Fuhai out. "By the way, Zhuzi, how's your driving?"

Xu Fuhai asked. "Brother Fuhai, I was the chief's driver for eight years."

Hearing Xu Fuhai's words, Zhuzi said with a smile, "You are really amazing. Just now your uncle said that he would trouble you to take us back to the city in the afternoon."

Xu Fuhai said, "Brother Fuhai, it's no trouble at all. I just happened to be going to the city to do something, so I'm just lending it to you. Otherwise, I'd have to take the bus."

Zhuzi said with a smile. After chatting for a while, they went out together and prepared to leave when they saw that the time was almost up. "Brother, is this your car? Mercedes-Benz Maybach, what a nice car!"

Looking at the black car in the yard, Zhuzi's eyes lit up and he said excitedly. As soon as he entered the yard, he saw two cars, one black and one white, a Mercedes-Benz Maybach and a Porsche 911, both good cars! It seems that the rumors about Brother Xu's wealth are true! "Ranran, do you want to ride in the same car with us, or drive yourself?"

Xu Fuhai threw the key to Zhuzi, turned around and said to Xu Ran, "I don't want to take your car, I want to drive myself."

Xu Ran, who had just been driving a sports car for more than a month, was now in the stage of being addicted to driving whenever he had the chance. "Okay, don't drive too fast, drive slower, just follow behind us, and don't overtake."

Xu Fuhai urged. "I know, grandma, you can take my car. I'll take you there."

Xu Ran held his grandmother's hand and said, "Come on! Your grandmother is over 60 years old. Can she ride in your sports car? Come on, let your grandmother and grandfather sit in the back seat of my car. Drive slowly and don't drive recklessly. Do you hear me?"

Xu Fuhai warned him worriedly. "I know, stop nagging."

Xu Ran pouted and said, then he opened the door of his Porsche 911 and got in. He pressed the start button and stepped on the accelerator. Suddenly, there was a "buzz" sound, and the powerful sound startled Xu Fuhai. "How is it? Dad, is it exciting?"

Xu Ran stuck his head out and said with a smile, "Drive carefully, or I'll confiscate your car!"

Xu Fuhai said unhappily. He opened the back door and let his parents get in, then he went around to the passenger seat and sat in. "This car is good, spacious and soft, better than the Magotan that the village chief has!"

Xu Fuhai's father patted the soft armrest and said, "Dad, if you like it, I'll buy you a new one."

Xu Fuhai said with a smile. For him now, buying a car worth several million is really not a big deal. "What use do I have for that thing? I can't leave the house many times a year, and it will just rust at home? Don't buy it for me. You can't spend money carelessly even if you have money!"

Xu Fuhai's father said, "With a car, you can go out. Then you can take my mom and go wherever you want. How great is that? How about I buy you an off-road vehicle? How about a G-Class?"

Xu Fuhai asked with a smile. "We'll talk about it later!"

Dad waved his hand and didn't intend to continue the topic. But Xu Fuhai looked at his expression and was obviously moved, so he wrote it down. Just ask Jiang Wei to do it later, it's a very simple thing. The place for dinner in the evening is a high-end hotel in Fu City called Jubinlou. Zhuzi drove steadily and quickly, and arrived in about 20 minutes. Xu Fuhai felt that he was much better at driving than Lin Mixue. "Zhuzi, what are you doing at home now?"

As they were about to get off the car, Xu Fuhai asked casually, "The town's fire brigade is working on it."

Zhuzi drove steadily and answered, "Oh, how much does it cost per month?"

Xu Fuhai continued to ask. "Hey, not much, 2,600 a month, not enough for anything, and I often default on payments."

Speaking of this, Zhuzi seemed a little embarrassed. "Are you interested in driving for me? The probation period is 6,000 yuan a month, with five insurances and one housing fund. After two months, you will be promoted to a regular employee. The official salary is 10,000 yuan a month, and the year-end bonus is calculated separately."

Xu Fuhai asked with a smile. "Really? Brother Fuhai, you are not lying to me!"

After hearing what Xu Fuhai said, Zhuzi asked excitedly. But even though he was emotional, the steering wheel in his hand was still as steady as a rock. "Why would I lie to you about this? Go back and think about it. Give me a definite answer when you have made up your mind."

Xu Fuhai said, "Okay, brother. I'll discuss it with my family and give you a letter."

Zhuzi was speaking with excitement in his tone, and he looked like he wanted to agree immediately. Xu Fuhai's father, who was sitting in the back seat, was also very satisfied with this scene. He arranged for Zhuzi to help his son drive with this intention. The two families have been friends for many years, and Zhuzi is honest and reliable. When his second aunt came to ask him to do this two days ago, he agreed without hesitation. Now that his son took the initiative to bring it up, he didn't have to say anything. "Brother, we're here."

Zhuzi parked the car steadily in a good parking space in front of the hotel and turned to Xu Fuhai. Xu Fuhai nodded and looked at the hotel entrance. He actually saw Zhou Na and her family waiting there. When they saw him get out of the car, they immediately surrounded him.
