On the phone, nothing was said, and we thought dad was critically ill.
Actually, he wasn't. He's just been a bit lonely as an empty nester, so he set up a family gathering to call us back.
My mom and I were trying to keep the atmosphere lively.
Wen Qun and his dad were silently drinking.
Until his dad said, "I really didn't expect you guys to persevere for so long."
Wen Qun sneered, "I'm in a relationship, not an investment, it's not that unpredictable."
"Are you mocking me?"
"I'll mock whoever withdraws their investment."
Well, the two of them started arguing again.
However, dad didn't oppose us anymore. Instead, he stubbornly shouted, "I'm just old and don't want any trouble. If it were when I was young, I'd definitely send one to the south and one to the north."
Wen Qun wasn't backing down either, "Dad, times have changed, transportation is advanced now. We even plan to travel the world next month."
I tugged at Wen Qun, signaling him to stop talking.
