Middle-aged tycoon: Twins come knocking on his door when he goes home for Chinese New Year

Li Menghan stood under the shade of a tree on the street, clutching the rice-shaped mobile phone with its screen already shattered.

He was thinking about the student council president, who drove a Porsche.

If he wanted to prove he was richer than the student council president, if he wanted to win Dai Yuqian back, he needed to prove himself.

Therefore, the money you take out must not be cheaper than that car.

"One million..."

Li Menghan silently recited the number in her mind.

With just one million, he could buy an equally good car, or even a better one, and drive it to Dai Yuqian.

However, as soon as this number appeared, Li Menghan's legs went weak.

One million!

This was an astronomical figure for him, who was still in college.

He remembered that month of his winter break.

During the coldest time of winter, he rode his old electric bike, braving the biting wind, delivering takeout all over the streets.

My hands were cracked from the cold, my face was red from the cold, and sometimes I would get yelled at by customers and have my pay docked because I was late.

After working like crazy for a month, I only got a little over two thousand yuan in the end.

Two thousand dollars compared to one million dollars.

That's a difference of five hundred times.

If he had to rely on delivering food to pay off this million, he would have to work for a full forty years without eating or drinking!

Forty years later, he was an old man.

Thinking about this, Li Menghan felt unprecedented pressure and fear.

Although he got his sister's phone number and added her on WeChat, he was still that principled young man.

He swore to himself that the money was "borrowed," not "demanded."

Since it's a loan, it must be returned.

But how can I repay this? Even after I graduate and get a job, a million is not a small amount.

Li Menghan hesitated and backed down.

But the next second, Dai Yuqian's cold face and her resolute words, "I cheated on you," pierced his heart like a thorn.

If he doesn't borrow this million, how will he prove himself?

Are you just going to stand by and watch your beloved girl be taken away by someone else? Watch her sit in the passenger seat of that scumbag and laugh?

Do not!

no way!

Even if it takes a lifetime to pay off the debt, he has to fight for this!

Li Menghan gritted her teeth, her eyes turning fierce.

I'd like to borrow one million.

send.

……

At this very moment, in the world of Han City.

When Li Ze saw the word "one million" and the word "borrow," he was stunned for a moment.

Good guy!

This kid's got some nerve!

He asked for a million right off the bat?

Li Ze was somewhat surprised, but he felt more amused and sorry for her.

He knows his son all too well.

Li Menghan is the kind of girl who is too embarrassed to ask Zhang Ruoran for money, even if she is short a few dozen yuan to buy books. She would rather work part-time herself.

Now they're asking for a million without even asking.

Moreover, it was specifically emphasized that it was "borrowed".

This shows that he was truly driven to desperation and had really encountered an insurmountable obstacle.

Without a doubt, it's all for Dai Yuqian.

He probably wanted to bribe the woman, or maybe he wanted to prove something.

Li Ze stared at the screen, making plans in his mind.

One million? How is this child going to pay it back?

Even if he is a student from a prestigious university and earns an annual salary of 200,000 yuan after graduation, he would still have to work for five years without eating or drinking.

This child is carrying such a heavy psychological burden; how difficult will his future be?

However, Li Ze did not intend to refuse.

After all, he's his own son.

Let alone a million.

Even if Li Menghan were to ask for 10 billion yuan now, or the entire Han City World, Li Ze would sign the transfer agreement to him without hesitation.

Anyway, this money was originally meant to be left to the siblings in the future.

However, Li Ze felt that the money shouldn't be given out too easily.

As a father, how could I not take advantage of such a great opportunity?

Li Ze's lips curled up slightly, revealing a sly smile.

He put down his teacup and typed a reply with both hands:

"Son, you can borrow a million if you want. After all, you're my own son. Let alone a million, even if you wanted to borrow ten billion, your dad could afford it, and you wouldn't need to pay it back."

This money is nothing to me.

However, before that, I have a small condition.

I want to hear you call me "Dad."

After all, it's not enough for me to acknowledge you as my son; you also have to acknowledge me as your father, right? We haven't seen each other for so long, and you haven't even called me "Dad." It chills me to the bone. How can I lend you money?

After sending the message, Li Ze held his phone, waiting expectantly.

……

Streetside.

When Li Menghan saw this long string of replies, her expression was incredibly conflicted.

One million, and you don't want to pay it back?

That's quite a boast.

Although he knew the man was rich, the idea that he didn't have to pay it back sounded more like charity.

But what bothered him the most was that condition.

Call him Dad.

This one word had been stuck in Li Menghan's throat for a full eighteen years.

From a young age, he could only envy other children who were picked up and dropped off by their fathers and lifted up high by their fathers.

Later, when he grew up and understood his mother's hardships, he only felt hatred for his father.

Even though Li Ze has done so much since he came back these past few days, buying a house and a car, and also trying to get his cousin medical treatment.

Although some of the ice in Li Menghan's heart had melted, his pride and stubborn self-esteem prevented him from speaking up.

He felt that as soon as he opened his mouth, he would lose and bow down to this man who had abandoned his wife and children.

but……

If you don't shout.

That million was gone.

Without a million, he wouldn't be able to win Dai Yuqian back.

Compared to losing the girl he loved, this little bit of pride didn't seem so important.

Li Menghan stood in the cold wind for a full five minutes.

Finally, he took a deep breath, as if he had made a momentous decision.

He painstakingly typed two words into the input box:

Okay, Dad.

The moment she sent it, Li Menghan felt her face flush.

Even though it was just words, he still felt ashamed.

……

In the flower shop.

"Oh my god! He shouted! He really shouted!"

Li Ze slapped his thigh excitedly.

This is unprecedented!

This kid is as stubborn as a mule, but he finally gave in today.

What does this mean? It means that this guy has actually started to accept him in his heart, but he just hasn't found a way to back down yet.

Now, for the sake of money, isn't this a convenient way to save money?

However, looking at those two cold, lifeless Chinese characters, Li Ze felt that something was missing.

Words have no warmth.

He wanted to hear a sound.

I want to hear that warm, genuine "Dad" from him.

So Li Ze started pushing his luck again.

He replied with a mischievous grin:

[Son, this is way too perfunctory! Typing two words isn't enough to call me out, is it?]

I not only want you to type "Dad," I also want you to send me a voice message saying "Dad" to me in person.

I want to hear a sound.

When Li Menghan saw this message, she was so angry that she almost smashed her phone.

He replied through gritted teeth:

【You're really pushing your luck! Didn't I already type "Dad" to you? How can you be so untrustworthy? We agreed that if you called me "Dad," I'd lend you the money!】

Li Ze replied instantly:

[Haha, son, how can this be called breaking your promise?]

Can a cold, impersonal text be the same as your own son calling you "Dad" in your ear?

If you send a voice message saying so, I'll give you the money immediately. I mean what I say, and I'll never go back on my word.

Li Menghan stared at her phone, her chest heaving violently.

That's outrageous! That's absolutely outrageous!

This is taking advantage of someone's misfortune!

However, seeing the other party's shameless attitude of "I won't give it to you unless you send it,"...

Li Menghan knew that she was completely under someone's control.

He looked around to make sure no one was paying attention to him.

Then, he held the phone to his mouth and pressed the voice call button.

My throat felt like it was blocked by something, and I couldn't make a sound.

He tried several times, his face turning bright red.

Finally, for those ten thousand, for Dai Yuqian.

He closed his eyes and called out quickly and indistinctly:

"……dad."

Release and send.

The one-second voice message flew by in a flash.

After sending the message, Li Menghan looked completely exhausted and leaned against a tree, panting heavily.

Li Ze clicked on the voice message.

The son's slightly hesitant, even reluctant, voice came through the receiver as he said "Dad."

Although it wasn't as sweet or natural as when my daughter called out to me.

But to Li Ze's ears, the sound was simply heavenly music.

Li Ze felt as if the softest part of his heart had been struck hard, and his eyes even felt hot.

This is what it feels like to be connected by blood.

Eighteen years of separation seemed to crack open with a crease in that awkward call, letting in light.

Just taking this step is enough.

Even if it's for money, as long as you're willing to speak up, things will gradually become genuine eventually.

Li Ze took a deep breath to calm his excited emotions.

He is a man of his word, and since his son has done it, he will certainly not be ambiguous about it either.

He replied immediately:

[Good son! Dad heard you! It sounds so nice!]

Where are you? I'm at Zeran Flower Shop in Han City's Tiandi area right now.

Come find me directly; I'm across from your mom's restaurant.

Once we get here, I'll give you a bank card; the PIN is your mother's birthday.

Upon seeing the message, Li Menghan replied, "Okay, I'll be right there," then put away her phone, hailed a taxi, and headed straight for Tiandi in Han City.

Li Ze put down his phone, turned around and waved to Lao Yi, who had been waiting beside him:

"Oldest brother, come here."

The first man stepped forward: "Boss."

Li Ze took out a top-tier black gold card that hadn't been activated yet from his pocket, handed it to Lao Yi, and instructed:

"Go and activate this card."

"Then transfer some money into it."

The first man asked, "Boss, how much are you transferring? A million?"

He had a rough idea of ​​what the boss and the young master were talking about.

Li Ze shook his head, a bold smile playing on his lips:

"One million? That's not enough!"

"That's my son! My own son!"

"He even called me 'Dad,' that's a huge favor, how could I possibly come up with a million?"

"Isn't that humiliating?"

Li Ze held up one finger and waved it in the air:

"Just put a billion in there!"

"Since Mengli already has two small goals as pocket money, Menghan shouldn't treat her the same way."

"He's about to start school, how can he manage without money? Dating and making friends at school, everything costs money!"

"Consider this 1 billion as a back-to-school bonus for him."

"I want him to experience the joy of receiving a billion dollars when school starts."

"Go and get it done quickly, don't keep him waiting."

"Yes, boss." The boss accepted the order and quickly went to process the transfer.
