Chapter 154 [Select]
Su Donglai said: "There is no eternal secret in this world. Even if I can remain silent after my death, sooner or later someone will find out this matter. I have owe you eighteen years. In these eighteen years, you have not received any family warmth and fatherly love from me. I have made countless enemies in my lifetime and don't want them to take revenge on you after death."
Su Ledao: "Does the father pay for his debts and sons in the world really pay attention to the debts and repayments of his sons?"
Su Donglai said, "It's even more bloody and cruel than you think." He looked up at the crescent moon in the sky. He wondered how many more opportunities he could have to appreciate such moonlight. I wonder if he could still see the full moon?
Su Le said: "Maybe you're thinking too much, and the most important thing for you now is to treat the disease."
Su Donglai shook his head: "It's irreversible. I don't have much time left. If the incident of my illness spreads, the world will soon fall into chaos."
Su Le said: "What do you want me to do for you?"
Su Donglai said: "I respect your choice. If you still want to live a peaceful life, I can arrange for you to go abroad and change it to a new identity and become another person to live the life you want."
Su Le said: "Wouldn't you leave your hometown?"
Su Donglai said: "It's much better than the streets of corpses."
Su Le looked at his father without saying anything, picked up the wine glass in front of him and took a sip.
Su Donglai said: "You have another choice, which is to come back and take over the Su family's family business. I will do my best to arrange the future things for you in the last time.
"You have never lived with me, and you don't know me at all. How do you know that I have the ability to command a family?"
Su Donglai shook his head: "I don't know, and I'm not sure."
"Don't I have two sisters?"
Su Donglai shook his head again: "They don't have this ability!"
"Don't you still have a wife?"
Su Donglai said: "She is too smart. What she really cares about is the interests of their Sang family, not to mention that my two daughters are not her opponents, so my hopes are all on you."
Su Ledao: "While leaving me wealth, I also leave all the responsibilities and hatred to me, right?"
Su Donglai's deep eyes looked at his son's eyes quietly. His son's mind was clearer than he imagined. From Su Le, he seemed to see himself when he was young, as calm and calm as he dared to make sure that behind his son's calm eyes, there should be a heart as wild as himself. This is the blood inheritance!
Su Donglai pushed the empty cup in front of his son, and Su Le poured him a drop of wine. A bitter smile appeared on the corner of Su Donglai's lips. He had never restricted this in his life: "At least you can live longer."
Su Le said: "Are you scared?"
Su Donglai nodded. This arrogant overlord of the world did not need to hide anything from his son. The longer he was in the world, the stronger the fear he felt deep in his heart. Su Donglai was not afraid of death, what he was afraid of was what fate his children would encounter after his death.
Su Le picked up the glass in front of him, drank the wine in the glass, and said something that Su Donglai would never forget: "Don't be afraid, I'm here in everything!"
Su Donglai looked at his son in a daze. He never expected that what his son said was like this. After a long time, he suddenly started to laugh, and Su Le also laughed. Both of them laughed so happily and happily.
Lao Mo was staying in the distance and was always alert to all the suspicious movements around him. Su Donglai's laughter attracted his attention. In Lao Mo's memory, during the long process of following Su Donglai for twenty years, he had never seen Su Donglai laugh so happily. Although he was old, his eyesight was still very good. Even in the middle of the night, he could still see the smile on the young man's face. Lao Mo suddenly felt like he was wrong. He blinked hard, and he seemed to see Su Donglai when he was young.
Su Donglai truly realized that he was old and had never felt this way before he got sick. He was arrogant and thought that there were still many things in this world waiting for him to conquer, but when he learned that his life was only one month left, his ambitions became gone in an instant. He thought death was not terrible, but now he found that what was terrible was not death itself, but what impact would it have after death. What kind of turmoil will arise when the world just calmed down? Will their hatred for themselves be eliminated because of their own death? The answer is obviously no.
Su Donglai looked at his son. In his opinion, his son's face was still childish. Although he had witnessed his son's strength from many things, he was afraid that his shoulders would not be able to bear the huge empire he had created to his son. So what? Do he have any choice? Su Donglai asked himself in his heart, an extremely complex feeling enveloped his heart. The reason for this was not only to want to bring down the wealth and glory of the family, but also an important reason was to protect his children from being hurt! Su Donglai had made careful arrangements for everything that might happen after death.
Su Le noticed Lao Mo in the distance and whispered: "That old man has always followed you, why don't you invite him to have a drink together?"
Su Donglai turned around and looked at Lao Mo, a warm smile appeared on the corner of his lips: "He has been with me for twenty years, but he has never been willing to sit with me."
"Are most people around you afraid of you?"
Su Donglai said: "Maybe you can understand it as respect." He raised his head and looked at the crescent moon in the night sky: "Respect is divided into many kinds. Some people respect you because of your property, some people respect you because of your power, and only a few people respect you."
Su Ledao: "Neither of the first two can be called respect."
Su Donglai nodded: "It is much easier to make others afraid of you than to make others respect you."
Su Le said: "It must be very lonely to be alone."
Su Donglai picked up the wine glass, and the remaining bit of wine reflected the lonely moon in the sky. He whispered: "It's colder to the high place! Everyone understands this truth, but everyone is trying hard to move forward, like a moth flying into a fire and infatuated to death." He looked at his childish son: "Living a life indifferently is leisurely and contented, but when you really want to live like this, how boring it would be when you look back on this life in the future! You are right, I am confused and worried now, but I don't regret it. My life may not be long, but I live a wonderful life in this life. I have lived a passionate life, I have loved it seriously, and I know clearly what I am doing every day I have lived." He smelled the wine glass: "If people want to achieve something, they must learn to enjoy loneliness!"
Su Le said: "I don't like loneliness at all!"
Su Donglai said, "I'm sorry!"
Su Le showed a surprised look because of his father's words, and there was no need for both father and son to say this.
Su Donglai said: "I gave you life, but I didn't give you a good life as I deserve. Now I appear to change your life." If I didn't show up, maybe my son will engage in cooking throughout his life, and maybe one day he can really become a master, but now everything has been changed by him.
Su Le said: "No one can change me!"
Su Donglai said: "At your age, I once thought so, but later I found that I had become another person without realizing it." He slowly landed the wine glass on the table, stood up and patted his son's shoulder: "I'll give you three days. During these three days, you will do your best to be yourself. After three days, you may never find such carefree days again."
After saying this, Su Dong turned around and left. When he returned to Lao Mo, Lao Mo opened the car door and respectfully invited him into the car.
After the car started, Su Dong looked back and forth and saw Su Le still sitting alone, staring at the wine glass on the table and dazed.
Lao Mo said: "Why don't you take him with you?"
Su Donglai said: "He has the right to choose his life. Although I am his father, I still have no right to decide his future. If I enter this house, it will be too late to regret it. So I will give him an extra chance to choose, and he can use these days to say goodbye to his past."
Lao Mo fell into a brief silence.
Su Donglai said: "Go back to Shenhai!"
Lao Mo said: "Did you leave him here alone?"
"Why not? He has lived alone for eighteen years and has been fine, but only three days, so what can I feel assured?"
Lao Mo mustered up the courage and said, "If he was just an ordinary person, it would be fine, but if his identity was known to others, then..."
Su Donglai closed his eyes, leaned on the seat, and whispered: "There are no more than five people who know about this matter, and who dares to make a fuss in it, I will find out immediately." One thing he did not explain is that the purpose of leaving Su Le with three days of free time was to observe who would be unfavorable to Su Le through this matter. Su Donglai was worried that someone among the five people would make fuss behind his back.
Lao Mo said: "Does Madam know?"
Su Donglai said: "I'll find out soon."
Lao Mo has been following Su Donglai for twenty years and has never said so many things like today.
Su Donglai said: "Old Mo, I have liver cancer!"
Old Mo still held the steering wheel steadily, but his heart fell into endless darkness because of this sentence. He suddenly understood why his master's behavior during this period was a bit abnormal.
Su Donglai said again: "I went to the United States not for business, but for medical treatment. The world's top medical experts have sentenced me to death."
