Film and Television World Life Record

All his former drinking buddies, who used to pound their chests so loudly, disappeared when they heard he needed to borrow money.

Even if they meet, the moment they hear about borrowing money, they stammer and hesitate, or even get up and leave without any hesitation.

After several days, Su Mingcheng was exhausted, both physically and mentally, and had not borrowed a single penny.

I experienced the cruelty of society for the first time.

He was even starting to consider abandoning the investment plan in his mind.

However, when I arrived at the company the next day, I found several people in the department whispering and having a heated discussion.

Mingcheng went over and immediately overheard their discussion; it was all about fundraising for investment. The group was boasting about how much money they had raised, their excitement suggesting they had already successfully invested.

Seeing so many people participating, Su Mingcheng's heart was filled with excitement once again.

With so many people involved and able to invest, if he were to withdraw, he would be ridiculed.

If you make a lot of money in the future, not only will you miss this opportunity to get rich, but you might also become a laughing stock.

After hesitating for a while, I made up my mind again: I must invest.

If we really can't raise the funds, we're willing to sell the car.

……

While Ming was preoccupied with the investment, Su Daqiang, who had been quiet for a while, started causing trouble again in the United States.

In the first few days after his diagnosis, Su Daqiang was scared but actively cooperated with the doctor's treatment.

However, after a period of time, he found that his body did not show any abnormalities, and he did not feel any discomfort.

He had never heard of Alzheimer's disease before and didn't know what it was. He asked a caregiver who understood Chinese, and she comforted him by saying that it was a common disease among the elderly, so there was no need to worry and that it was not life-threatening. She told him to just relax.

As a result, Su Daqiang no longer felt that Alzheimer's disease was anything to be afraid of, and thought it was no different from his other minor ailments.

The wild boy's true nature was revealed.

At first, it was just a minor disturbance. After staying in the hospital for more than half a month, Li Mu still showed no signs of letting him leave. He felt that Li Mu must have scared him at the United Hospital, not wanting him to enjoy his life in the United States.

They've started causing trouble right away.

He insisted on getting rid of the two perfectly good, very responsible Chinese caregivers and wanted to replace them with a blonde, blue-eyed Western woman who could speak Chinese.

And it's not two, it's four. They said it would be too hard for two people to take care of him, and he couldn't bear it, so four people would make things easier.

You can eat, run, and jump, yet you need four blonde, blue-eyed Western women to take care of you. Who can guess what your little scheme is?

Li Mu absolutely forbade it.

Su Daqiang then began to refuse treatment, went against the doctors, and tried to run out of the hospital whenever he saw an opportunity.

As for deliberately finding fault or acting dishonestly... that's just standard practice.

That day, Li Mu came to visit him. As soon as he entered the ward, Su Daqiang saw him and immediately began his performance.

"Meilan! My life is so hard. My children are so unfilial. They said they wanted me to come to America to enjoy a good life, but as soon as I arrived, they locked me up in the hospital. Meilan... what should I do!"

While he was the one crying and performing, Li Mu simply watched coldly from the sidelines, completely unmoved.

Su Daqiang put on a show for a while, but when he saw that Li Mu had no reaction at all, his heart sank. He knew that his eldest son, who used to indulge and tolerate him endlessly, had changed.

This made him a little panicked, knowing that this tactic was no longer working.

She quickly wiped away her tears, put on a pitiful look, and said, "Mingzhe! You don't know, the two caregivers who took care of me are completely irresponsible. They abused me and bullied me. I want to change them."

Li Mu laughed and said, "Really? So you won't mistreat or bully you if you get a different caregiver?"

Su Daqiang said, "I want to choose myself!"

Li Mu asked, "So, what kind do you want to choose?"

Su Daqiang's eyes lit up. After hesitating for a moment, he pointed to the next ward and said, "I want that kind!"

Li Mu remembered that the patient in the next ward was a woman, and the caregiver who took care of her was a blonde, blue-eyed girl with long legs and a high bust, who was very eye-catching.

I must say, Su Daqiang has a pretty good eye, and he wants four of them all to take care of him. He's really dreaming.

"No, just these two. If you really don't like them, you don't need caregivers anymore. You can take care of yourself now."

Su Daqiang sighed in disappointment; one of his little dreams had been shattered.

Seeing his unfilial eldest son, Su Daqiang felt extremely wronged. He wanted to call Mingcheng and Mingyu to complain that his eldest son had abused him in the United States and ask Mingcheng and Mingyu to stand up for him.

However, he was taken to the hospital as soon as he got off the plane. He didn't have time to buy a mobile phone or get a number. The hospital was full of English, which he couldn't understand. He could only make calls through Li Mu.

Her eyes darted around, and she spoke again, "Mingzhe, I'm so lonely in the hospital. I want a phone. I want to call Mingcheng and Mingyu and chat..."

Before he could say anything more, Li Mu had already taken a cell phone out of his bag and handed it over.

"Here... I just got it done for you."

Su Daqiang immediately beamed with joy.

"Mingzhe, you are so filial, you know what Dad wants."

Li Mu said, "Don't talk so soon. When I call Mingcheng and Mingyu later, just don't tell them that I'm abusing you."

Su Daqiang's face stiffened upon hearing this, and he waved his hand, saying, "How could I? How could I! Mingzhe, you've taken such good care of me, how could I possibly complain about you!"

Li Mu smiled and said, "Really? That's good."

"However, if you want to complain, you can complain all you want. Let's see if Mingyu and Mingcheng listen to you or me."

The moment those words left his mouth, Su Daqiang's initial excitement at getting the phone diminished considerably. Was he destined to live under his boss's oppression forever?

Thinking about this made him feel sad and aggrieved.

"Alas...the eldest son is unfilial!"

Chapter 21 Complaint

After Li Mu left, Su Daqiang quickly made a series of complaints, one after another. He had just finished complaining to Mingyu and was barely paying attention to her when he started complaining to Mingcheng.

“Mingcheng! Your older brother is abusing me and doesn’t want to support me. He brought me to the hospital as soon as I got off the plane and won’t let me leave.”

“You have to stand up for me. I’m here to retire, not to go to jail.”

Even though he knew that Su Daqiang didn't tell the truth and was good at tattling, Su Mingcheng was still a little surprised to hear this news.

"Dad, what exactly happened?"

"How could my older brother abuse you and send you to the hospital for no reason? Are you sick?"

Su Daqiang cried and complained, "What kind of illness could it be? They're all old ailments."

“My blood pressure was a little high as soon as I got off the plane, so your older brother took me to the hospital. He said I had some strange disease and wouldn’t let me leave the hospital. He even hired two people to watch over me and monitor me.”

"I just have a bad memory, isn't that how all old people are? Mingcheng, I want to be discharged from the hospital. I don't want to stay in the hospital. You can't just abandon me."

Su Mingcheng was in a real bind, and quickly comforted him, "Dad, I understand. Don't worry, I'll call my older brother right away and get to the bottom of this."

Mingcheng dialed Li Mu's number.

"Brother, Dad just called and said that you've been keeping him in the hospital and even hired two people to watch over him so he can't go home."

"What's wrong with Dad? Does he really have some kind of illness?!"

Li Mu said, "Mingyu just called me to ask about this. It seems that Dad knows that complaining to Mingyu won't work, so he went to you to complain instead."

"Ah!" Mingcheng exclaimed in surprise.

"What exactly happened, brother?!"

Li Mu explained, "Have you heard of Alzheimer's disease?"

Su Mingcheng had never heard of it, but now that we live in the internet age, you can search for it online if you don't know.

He immediately exited the phone call interface, searched for Alzheimer's syndrome, and then fell silent.

After a long pause, Mingcheng cautiously asked, "Big brother, does Dad have Alzheimer's disease? I read online that it's very difficult to treat!"

Li Mu answered affirmatively, "It's Alzheimer's disease, but don't worry, Dad found it relatively early, and there are just some signs, so the chances of recovery are very high."

“I’ve hired two professional Chinese caregivers for Dad. They speak Chinese and will be there for him 24 hours a day. You and Mingyu can rest assured. With me here, Dad won’t suffer.”

Mingcheng said, "Then I'll trouble you, brother. Is there anything else I can do to help?"

Li Mu said, "That's not a problem, but there is something I do need your cooperation with."

"Please speak, brother."

Li Mu said, "This illness requires Dad to stay in the hospital to cooperate with the treatment, but with Dad's personality, he simply can't stay still. He often acts up and resists the treatment."

"In order to get my dad to cooperate, I had to harden my heart and be firm. Even if I get a few complaints and get called unfilial, I'll accept it."

“You know Dad’s personality. If he can’t get through to me to avoid treatment, he’ll definitely complain to you and Mingyu every day and say bad things about me.”

"I've already spoken to Mingyu about it. You need to understand your brother's situation too, so you don't end up saying I'm mistreating Dad."

Mingcheng recalled the days when Su's father lived in his house. The young couple lived frugally and took good care of their father, but Su's father said they were worthless.

He complains to his older brother and Mingyu every day about how the young couple mistreats him, bullies him, and that he can't live without them.

This angered Mingcheng so much that he really wanted to disown his father.

Put yourself in his shoes. If you were in the eldest brother's position, it's not unreasonable for him to have such concerns. After all, Dad has already made false accusations against us!
