Chapter 55
No matter how good you are, it’s not you
In his living room, as soon as Chu Fan came in from the outside, he smelled a strong smell of alcohol, which was not much worse than the smell of cigarettes.
He couldn't understand why some people thought wine had a fragrance, commonly known as wine aroma.
Although Chu Fan hadn't drank much liquor, he had been smelling it for decades and still couldn't smell the fragrance.
It wasn't that all the wine he smelled was cheap wine. He had also smelled and drank wine that cost more than five digits. Although it tasted better than cheap wine, it was just as unpleasant to drink.
Some wines don't smell bad, but in Chu Fan's eyes, they have nothing to do with fragrance.
After closing the door, Chu Fan changed his shoes and walked inside. He turned around and saw Chu Ba lying on the sofa, unconscious and motionless.
Li Yu was over there at the piano stand, wiping the piano stand with a rag and cursing.
In the past, Li Yu had no feelings for the piano because his son didn't like it.
Now, Chu Ba's status in the family has dropped by another level, surpassed by Piano.
"Bao, drag your unsatisfactory father to the guest room, open the window, close the door, and let him fend for himself." Li Yu was still angry, and she was not in a hurry to ask for her son's appointment report.
"Why did my dad drink so much wine today? The taste is much stronger than before. Did he vomit?" Chu Fan put down his backpack and went to the water dispenser to get some water.
When he came back from outside and changed his shoes, he would either go to the toilet or drink water first.
The importance of drinking water is self-evident. If a person does not supplement nutrition (food), that is, does not drink water, for more than 72 hours, his life will be in danger.
And if there is water but no food, a person can survive for seven or eight days.
"The devil knows that he is getting more and more degenerate as he gets older. He has lost all ambition. He tells me An Tianming all day long to stop fighting." Li Yu said angrily: "People have no ambition. Just like him, he drinks, smokes and covets when he has nothing to do.
Hedonism and self-control are getting worse and worse.”
Chu Fan put down the water glass, walked to the sofa, and looked at the drunk Chu Ba.
Dad doesn't make any noise when he drinks too much. At least when he comes back from drinking outside, he becomes more silent than usual.
But if he drinks at home, he will talk more than usual.
However, no matter how much he talks, it is still within Chu Fan's acceptable range, unlike some people whose drinking habits are so bad that no one dares to drink with them anymore, for fear of avoiding them.
"It's time to enjoy it. You have worked hard for most of your life." Chu Fan stood in front of the sofa: "From now on, I will be the backbone of the family. Leave the money-making to me. I will let you enjoy all the glory and wealth."
Li Yu came back after cleaning the piano stand: "I don't care about the glory and wealth you enjoy. It would be better for you to get married and start a career as soon as possible."
Chu Fan took the rag from Li Yu's hand and said, "Mom, you don't have to worry too much about this, but I will work hard to get married in two years. The business will be established faster, and I can start it tomorrow."
"Are you going to open a new book tomorrow?" Li Yu asked.
Chu Fan nodded: "I am in a hurry to sell songs. I have to wait for Aunt Wu's daughter to become popular before I can continue selling. I have finished writing the copy for the talk show, and I have nothing to do for the time being. I can't be idle, I can only continue writing novels."
"That's right. You can't imitate your father." Li Yu was very satisfied with his son and said, "You have to have something serious to do, otherwise Wu Keqing's daughter may feel insecure and think you are doing nothing."
"Well, Xiao Xi likes people who are motivated. Even if people work hard and have no results, they can't lie down. This is the reason why human beings continue to make progress. There will always be people who succeed." Chu Fan nodded and took a rag to the kitchen to clean.
Li Yu followed behind and asked happily: "Bao, how was today's date? It seems like you were quite successful?"
Chu Fan turned on the faucet, put the rag under the water, soaked it in water and rubbed it: "It's okay. She paid for the food, drinks and entertainment today. I didn't pay a penny."
Leader Wu's daughter was responsible for paying the bill. Li Yu didn't find it surprising or excessive. Didn't her son spend 20,000 yuan on the other party?
If it was his son who was always the one spending money, and Wu led his daughter to keep everything, Li Yu would have to tell her that such a girl has bad character and should cut off contact as soon as possible.
"That's great. If you think it's right, hurry up and confirm the relationship. If you truly love, it will be wonderful." Li Yu is full of longing for the future, and the family will become more and more lively.
After washing the rag, he returned to the living room, where Chu Fan and Li Yu stood in front of the sofa.
Chu Ba is not considered fat in his middle age, but it is not something that ordinary people can move alone. It is difficult for Chu Fan to move alone, let alone Li Yu alone.
If two of the best men hadn't brought Chu Ba up, Li Yu would probably have had no choice but to throw Chu Ba on the side of the road and wait for his son to come back.
Chu Ba was afraid of Li Yu, and the two best men were also very afraid. As soon as Chu Ba came up, they ran away without even drinking water.
After all, not only did he do something wrong today, making Chu Ba drunk, but he also cooperated with Chu Ba in the past and deceived Li Yu.
Without a hero saving the beauty, there is a high probability that Li Yu would not be chased by Chu Ba.
"Did my dad drink with those old friends again today?" Chu Fan asked.
"Who else can he have? He only has those few friends now. They are all the same, each one more useless than the other." Li Yu became angry when he mentioned Chu Ba's friends.
At the wonderful wedding that year, Li Yu almost went berserk after seeing Chu Ba's groomsmen who had similar odors.
Don't think that she won't recognize them after not seeing each other for several years. She will recognize them even if they turn into ashes.
Although the wedding was held successfully, the wedding room was decorated with candles and Chu Ba slept on the sofa.
Chu Fan looked at Chu Ba who was sleeping. He had heard this story about his parents when they were young, and said: "Mom, don't worry about it. For me, I have to thank those uncles. Without them, there would be no life."
The union of my father and you, and I will not come to this world."
Li Yu was stunned. What his son said made sense.
After a moment of silence, she suddenly laughed happily: "Bao, you are right."
Even if she had to trade the whole world for her son, she would refuse it without hesitation.
Nothing is more important than a son.
"But you can continue to scold them. Maybe without me, you will have another 'me' who is better than me, and you won't have to go through such a sad and exhausting thing as the company almost going bankrupt." Chu Fan added.
In front of his mother, he will never feel that he is the best.
If he was really the best, my mother wouldn’t still be working so hard now.
Do you use time to prove that you are the best?
No, God has given him more than twenty years, but he failed to do it.
"Fool, no matter how good you are, it's not you." Li Yu rubbed Chu Fan's head.
Her son has grown up long ago and is half a head taller than her. He can no longer hold her in her arms or carry her on her back like before.
Chu Fan smiled and said, "Yes, I am unique. Mom, let's move my dad to the guest room and let him sleep by himself tonight."
