To Shen Yang's surprise and joy, his press release was really published in the local newspaper the next day. Looking at his words turned into typeface, Shen Yang felt unreal. It was so simple to be able to write in the newspaper?
……
On August 15, the sun was shining in J City, a province in mainland China. Cao Xue's mother Wu Yongli drove Cao Xue out of J City in Uncle Cao Xue's private car. Today is the day when Cao Guohua was released from prison. The mother and daughter were both happy and sad.
In the car, Cao Xue sat in the co driver's seat and was stunned. Wu Yongli drove the car silently. Today, they didn't let uncle Cao Xue's family come together or Lu Yang come. The mother and daughter just wanted to pick up Cao Guohua by themselves.
When the car was about to leave the city, Cao Xue suddenly turned her eyes and asked her mother, "Mom! Will our family be fine when Dad comes back?"
"Yes!"
Wu Yongli answered, but her eyes were a little confused.
After this, it's not easy for the husband to get up again? Government departments must be unable to get in. What else can they do?
When the car was approaching the prison gate, Wu Yongli suddenly heard a cry. Cao Xue didn't know what her mother found. She looked forward with puzzled eyes along her mother's eyes. The outside of the prison was empty. There were only two prison guards with guns on the high wall. There was a black car parked not far from the prison gate. Was it that car?
"It's your uncle's car!"
Wu Yongli suddenly became excited.
"Uncle Fang?"
Cao Xue's eyes lit up, just a name. The mother and daughter seemed to brighten up at once.
Wu Yongli parked the car next to the black Audi. The mother and daughter walked quickly to the Audi with a smile. The back door of the Audi was opened. The middle-aged man who had appeared at grandma Cao Xue's funeral came out of the car. His dignified face was still the same, but the gray on his temples was even worse.
Seeing Wu Yongli and Cao Xue's mother and daughter, the uncle Fang in Wu Yongli's mouth nodded slightly, glanced at the prison gate not far away, and a deep voice sounded: "time is coming! Don't worry!"
"Secretary Fang! Unexpectedly, Lao Cao came out today, and you came here in person!" Wu Yongli repressed her excitement and came forward to say hello to this person. Cao Xue also came forward and shouted, "Uncle Fang!"
Secretary Fang nodded. At this time, the driver on the bus had also opened the door.
What else does Wu Yongli want to say? Secretary Fang's eyes have been looking at the prison gate. She obviously doesn't want to say anything. Wu Yongli has to keep quiet beside him.
For a time, there were four people beside the two cars, but no one spoke. The driver smoked silently. Wu Yongli looked at the prison gate and Secretary Fang. Cao Xue looked at the prison gate just like secretary Fang.
In this way, more than ten minutes passed. Finally, the tall iron door of the prison finally opened from inside, and a prison guard led Cao Guohua out of it.
Today's Cao Guohua finally doesn't wear prison clothes. He has short hair posts, a half old white shirt and black trousers, but a pair of half old sports shoes on his feet.
The prison guard saluted Cao Guohua, said something, and waved Cao Guohua away. Cao Guohua narrowed his eyes and pushed the thick framed glasses on the bridge of his nose. Seeing Wu Yongli and others here, he came over with a small luggage bag.
As Cao Guohua approached, Cao Xue and others found that Cao Guohua lost a lot of weight. The whole person looked like ten years old. Only his face was as calm as ever.
Wu Yongli and Cao Xue were the first to greet them. Their mother and daughter hugged Cao Guohua in tears. Cao Guohua comforted his wife and daughter, but their indifferent eyes looked at Secretary Fang next to the Audi.
When Wu Yongli and Cao Xue were more stable, Secretary Fang took two steps forward. It was still the low voice: "old Cao! Suffering!"
Cao Guohua looked at him and didn't speak. Wu Yongli and Cao Xue heard Secretary Fang's voice, subconsciously released Cao Guohua and stood aside. The driver who had been smoking on the side also came to Secretary Fang.
Seeing that Cao Guohua didn't speak, Secretary Fang frowned slightly and said, "old Cao, get in the car! Let's find a place to wash your dust and go to bad luck! Let's talk!"
Cao Guohua still didn't speak. He just took Cao Xue's small hand and walked to Uncle Cao Xue's private car. Secretary Fang saw him and didn't say anything. He just went back to his car in silence. The two cars soon hit the road one after the other.
Cao Guohua's car is still driven by Wu Yongli. Cao Guohua frowns and sits in the back seat. Cao Xue holds his father's hand in both hands and carefully pays attention to his father's face.
Wu Yongli, who was driving, had just found that the atmosphere between her husband and Secretary Fang seemed a little wrong. Shortly after the car was on the road, she couldn't hold it any longer and asked, "Lao Cao, Secretary Fang talked to you just now! Why didn't you say a word?"
Cao Xue saw her parents talking and sat quietly aside.
But Cao Guohua closed his eyes and said vaguely, "drive at ease! Don't ask what you shouldn't ask!"
Secretary Fang's car was in front and Cao Guohua's car was in the back. The two cars returned to J City and drove into a high-end club. Secretary Fang got off and said something to the driver. The driver left the parking lot and went straight to the club.
Cao Guohua and his wife and daughter got out of the car. Secretary Fang reached out and motioned them to invite them first. Cao Guohua was not polite. He took Cao Xue's small hand and walked into the club first.
After entering the club, the driver who came in first has arranged a place. Wu Yongli and Cao Xue are arranged to eat in a small private room. Cao Guohua and Secretary Fang enter another private room at the end of the corridor.
In the private room where Wu Yongli and Cao Xue are located, both mother and daughter feel that today's atmosphere is wrong. At this time, facing a table of delicious dishes, they have no mood to eat chopsticks at all.
Cao Xue asked in a low voice, "Mom! Didn't uncle Fang have a good relationship with his father before? Uncle Fang came to pick up his father in person today. Why does Dad have this attitude?"
Wu Yongli also wants to ask this question. Where can she answer it? At present, I just frown and shake my head. In fact, I have guessed something in my heart.
More than ten minutes later, Cao Guohua suddenly pushed open the box door where the mother and daughter were located, took Cao Xue's hand and said, "let's go home!"
Wu Yongli was surprised and looked up at the door, but there was no sign of secretary Fang and the driver of secretary Fang. The mother and daughter followed Cao Guohua into the car. This time, Cao Guohua drove himself. The car jumped out of the parking lot like taking spring medicine. Until they got on the street, the speed decreased slightly.
"Lao Cao! What's the matter with you?"
Wu Yongli's heart is heavy and she has guessed something. Cao Guohua was still silent, just tightly pursed his thin lips and drove with a overcast face.
Cao Xue is not a fool. At this time, he almost knows what just happened. I feel a little sad. It seems that my father is back and my family is still not getting up. At this moment, Cao Xue thinks of Lu Yang. Should Lu Yang help me? Cao Xue thought.
In fact, as Cao Xue expected, his father came back for a week and was still silent. His once energetic father never came back. He ate with her and her mother every day. At other times, he either read on the balcony or went out to the park alone. He called a lot, but there was no good news to share with her and her mother.
After enduring it for a week, at dinner that day, Cao Xue finally said carefully to her frowning father, "Dad! Lu Yang should be able to help us! He has money!"
Wu Yongli's eyes brightened and looked expectantly at her husband. Cao Guohua showed a slight contemptuous smile on his face. Without raising his head, he continued to eat and asked, "what can he do for us as a novelist? Power or money? If he's dead, is there a million? Let him keep it and marry you!"
Seeing that her father despised her boyfriend so much, Cao Xue hurriedly explained: "no, Dad! Lu Yang now has at least more than 10 million! His last film had tens of millions at the box office! He bought two pieces of land to build a house this year, and those two pieces of land are worth five or six million!"
"Ba Da!"
Wu Yongli dropped one of her chopsticks to the ground and opened her mouth slightly. She had always heard her daughter say how capable Lu Yang was, how much money she had, and how the film box office sold well, but she never thought that the young man in his early twenties had so much money.
Cao Guohua, who has been eating with his head down, raised his head in amazement, frowned and looked at his daughter across the table. The table suddenly fell into silence. Cao Xue looked at the reaction of her parents and felt some pride, but also some regret.
If her father wants Lu Yang to borrow millions, how can she tell Lu Yang? Can Lu Yang promise?
Cao Guohua was the first to recover. The reason why he was so surprised just now was not that he had never seen so much money, but he never thought that the young man who wrote the novel had so much wealth.
"How can he help us?" Cao Guohua thought his daughter had agreed with the young man, then put down his chopsticks and asked.
"Well... I have to ask him! I haven't told him about it! By the way, Dad! What do you want to do now? Do you need money or something?"
Cao Xue is a little worried that her father's requirements are too high.
Cao Guohua frowned again. Unexpectedly, his daughter had not told the young man. After thinking about it, Cao Guohua said, "I wanted to find a previous relationship and become an executive in a company. Now this road is impassable and there is no hope in officialdom. I have to go to the sea to do business. Ask your boyfriend how much money you borrow! We can do as much business as we can!"
"Oh! OK! I'll call him now!"
Cao Xue nodded, relieved. Fortunately, her father didn't mention the specific amount. At that time, she took out a napkin, wiped her mouth, took out her mobile phone and began to look for Lu Yang's number. After thinking about it, she got up and walked into the bedroom.
When Lu Yang received Cao Xue's call, he was still coding in his study, and he forgot the dinner time. After hearing what Cao Xue said on the phone, Lu Yang rubbed some swollen temples and said, "Xiaoxue, let your father think about what to do first! How much money you need, and then tell me!"
