I really can't remember the exact time, and Zhou Muqing didn't bother to look through the call records. Anyway, it's been a long time, and he's also a little disappointed. This is not the frequency of interaction between father and son at all.
"You contact him now and ask to see if he will return to China in the near future."
"I asked what this is for."
"I need you to ask."
Zhou's mother didn't explain much, she gave Zhou Muqing a death order. Zhou Muqing didn't want to contact her, but it was hard to refuse Zhou's mother.
After all, it's a family, so it's okay for the son to take the initiative to contact his father.
"knew."
After Zhou Muqing responded, he was about to hang up the phone, but Zhou's mother hurriedly said, "Tell me the situation after you contact me."
"Um."
After hanging up the phone, Zhou's mother was very worried, because she didn't know if Zhou's father would tell Zhou Muqing the truth.
Zhou Muqing has always shown that he has no interest in the Zhou family's property, Zhou's father is aware of these things, maybe this way he will be less defensive towards Zhou Muqing.
If Zhou's mother contacted Zhou's father to ask, Zhou's father should be on guard.
During dinner time, Zhou's mother and Zhou Muqing talked about the need to contact Zhou's father today.
"Have you asked him?"
Zhou Muqing was eating, and his appetite was weakened by Zhou's mother's question.
"No."
"Why don't you ask?"
Zhou's mother suddenly put down her chopsticks nervously, as if something serious had happened.
"I just don't think he cares enough about his family, but we won't affect anything without him. We don't have to rush to contact him."
"Yes, what you said is correct, but he is your father, and this is a relationship that must be maintained."
Zhou Muqing put down his chopsticks helplessly, and finished the dinner completely.
"Okay, I'll get in touch now."
He avoided this matter in his heart for a day, but it was brought up again when he got home, and he had to face it. It was really difficult.
Zhou Muqing immediately sat in the living room and called Zhou's father, and also asked Zhou's father whether he would be back in the near future according to Zhou's mother's request.
"Why do you ask this matter? Is there something wrong at home?"
Zhou Muqing was irritated by Zhou's father's rhetorical question, "That's why you only come back when something happens at home, is this still your home, are we still your family?"
"Why are you so excited all of a sudden, I'm asking you a question calmly."
Father Zhou explained in a calm tone that he didn't want to continue to provoke him in this situation because he cared about Zhou Muqing, and he felt that he was unhappy.
But to Zhou Muqing, such a light tone means he doesn't care, doesn't care, means he doesn't care!
"Why am I excited, don't you understand?!"
Zhou Muqing paused and smiled wryly, "You still think you only have one son named Ten Wan."
"of course not."
Zhou's father immediately denied Zhou Muqing's words, but denying did not save anything.
"Grandma has been sick all the time, but you are abroad with your other son. If this home is no longer home to you, then you should never come back, and we don't need you."
After Zhou Muqing finished speaking, he hung up the phone in grief and indignation.
The moment he hung up the phone, he expected Father Zhou to call back, but he waited and waited, but he didn't get a call from Father Zhou. This may be a tacit consent to what he said. Father Zhou no longer cares about this Zhou family.
After a while, Zhou's mother sat beside Zhou Muqing silently, and took his arm.
"Zhou Zhou, I know you're not happy. I shouldn't have let you make this call."
