Chapter 1404 Father and Son

“Beep~beep”

Finally, a human voice was heard in the microphone.

But it was not Xiao Zhou's voice, but a sweet female voice -
"The number you dialed is temporarily unavailable, please call again later."

Mr. Zhou frowned and called again.

This time, the call was answered quickly.

"Dad, what's the matter?"

"I'm a little busy here now. If you need anything, wait until I get back-"

"Come back now!"

Mr. Zhou interrupted the child.

His tone became heavier, and there was a hint of seriousness in his words.

"."

There was silence on the other end of the line.

"Dad, what happened?"

The man finally spoke again, with a look of confusion and bewilderment on his face.

He is playing games with his friends in the Internet cafe.

If it wasn't something important, he wouldn't want to bother with it.

"It's important."

Mr. Zhou spoke each word with emphasis.

Then he frowned, "Don't mind your own business."

"Come back soon anyway."

"I'll wait for you in the store."

After saying this, Mr. Zhou hung up the phone.

He looked across and said, "Old Wood, Aying, let's sit and wait for a while."

"The child will be back soon."

"Ah."

The two elders of the Mu family nodded.

Mu Lao picked up the teacup in front of him and drank it all.

He had just said a lot of words and his mouth was dry.

The old lady didn't drink the water.

After all, she had hardly spoken since entering the store.

Naturally no need to replenish water.

"Dad, why did you close the store?"

Xiao Zhou came back quickly, but his expression was not very good. "Dad, what's the matter? Why are you in such a hurry?"

“I also have my own things to do.”

"You don't even consider our inconvenience."

The young man grumbled, very dissatisfied.

"Bang~"

Mr. Zhou slammed the table and said, "Don't you see there are still customers in the store?"

"What does it look like?"

The old man was equally dissatisfied.

This child is really spoiled too much.

No manners at all.

"what?"

The young man was startled.

Seeing that Mr. Zhou looked serious and in a bad mood, he didn't dare to say anything else.

But I still felt resentful in my heart.

What's going on? Did you call him back specially to show your displeasure to him?

If he had known this would happen, he wouldn't have come back.

Just as the young man looked to the side, a smile appeared on his face the next second, revealing a hint of eagerness, "Grandpa Mu, Grandma Tan, it's you."

There was a hint of surprise in his eyes.

He had never known that Grandpa Mu’s wood carvings were so valuable.

Although he made up a story for the wood carving, the wood carving itself must be of a certain standard to be able to fool people.

If you just pick up a wooden sculpture and talk nonsense, you are treating others as fools, and others will treat you as a fool even more.

The young man did not wonder why the two elders of the Mu family came here.

To him, it was just an ordinary visit.

Mr. Zhou has a good relationship with the two elders of the Mu family.

He also grew up calling the other party grandpa and grandma, otherwise how could the other party give him such an elaborately carved wood sculpture on his birthday?

But, after all, we are neighbors across the street.

The two elders of the Mu family were also good friends with Mr. Zhou, so it was impossible for them to give him such a big gift every time he had a birthday.

His relationship with the two elders is not yet that good.

This time, because it was his coming-of-age birthday and had great significance, he received such a gift.

He was thinking about going to Grandpa Mu’s house and asking him to make a few wood carvings for him, and then reselling them?

The price difference is quite considerable.

Thinking of this, the smile on his face became even brighter.

Grandpa Mu is his god of wealth, so he needs to get closer to him and build a solid and good relationship with him.

However, she did not notice the cold expressions on the two elders' faces, nor did she notice that the two elders had not called her since he entered the store.

"What does it look like to be so playful and smiling?!"

Mr. Zhou's scolding shattered the man's ideas. He looked at Mr. Zhou, angry and confused, and his tone was not good, "Dad, what are you doing?"

"Don't take your anger out on me when you're in a bad mood."

"I am in a bad mood?"

Mr. Zhou sneered, "I'm just in a bad mood."

Especially when he saw his son smiling enthusiastically at Old Wood without noticing anything.

When did this kid smile at Lao Mu and the others like this?

If it were someone else, he would definitely say that he had something to hide.
But the target is his own son
He really didn't want to believe it.

"Do you know why I'm in a bad mood?"

Mr. Zhou took a deep breath.

"why?"

The young man replied impatiently, then muttered in a low voice, "I'm not the worm in your stomach, how should I know?"

Zhou Laoqiang suppressed his emotions that were about to explode and did not answer the young man's question.

Instead, he asked a question with a somewhat stiff expression, "Do you know why I asked you to come back?"

".Dad, what do you want to say?"

If it weren't for Mr. Mu and the others sitting here, he would have wanted to turn around and leave, "How would I know this if you don't tell me?"

“Inexplicable”

"Well, you don't know."

Mr. Zhou said in a deep voice, "Then let me ask you, where did you get the money to buy the car?"

The young man's heart skipped a beat and his expression became unnatural for a moment.

"Where did it come from?"

The young man quickly calmed down his slightly strange emotions, and his face showed confusion and impatience.

"Didn't I tell you and mom?"

"Why are you asking me again?"

However, although the change in the young man's expression was only fleeting, Mr. Zhou, who had been staring at the man's face, saw it clearly.

His heart skipped a beat.

The voice that came out of his mouth became more severe. "Answer me!"

"?!"

The man, who was already feeling guilty, was frightened by Mr. Zhou's sudden shout and almost had a myocardial infarction.

He touched his chest.

I can feel my own heartbeat.

"Just say it."

"Why are you so fierce?"

The young man could see that his father was in a really bad mood.

As far as he could remember, his father had never been so mean to him.

He was a little timid and had some vague uneasiness.

"I bought it with the money I earned from picking up bargains."

"what?"

Mr. Zhou's eyes were like knives. "Say it again."

"Why is the voice so quiet?"

The young man glanced at Mr. Zhou and put on a ferocious face. Who would dare to speak loudly in front of you?

He cleared his throat and raised his voice a little, "I made the money by picking up a bargain!"

"What did you say?"

Mr. Zhou frowned.

"I said I made the money by picking up a bargain!"

Mr. Zhou's repeated inquiries made the man angry, and when he got angry, he became bolder. He couldn't help but yell back, "Again and again, are you tired of it?"

"I already said that I made the money by picking up a bargain."

"You don't understand what people are saying, do you?"
