At this moment, Gao Mingcheng had already gotten up, put down his cane, and stood in the courtyard facing the morning sun, slowly practicing military boxing.
His cell phone, which he always kept in his pocket from morning till night, suddenly rang.
He stopped immediately, took his phone out of his pocket, and when he saw the caller ID on the screen, a smile immediately spread across his face. He quickly answered, "Hello? Zhao Zhao?"
No sooner had he finished speaking than a series of hurried footsteps came from inside the house. Gao Hongfei quickly appeared at the door, looked at Gao Mingcheng, and asked with a look of surprise, "Is it Mom calling?"
In the past two days, in order to keep a close eye on Gao Mingcheng around the clock so as not to miss Xing Zhaozhao's calls, Gao Hongfei has adjusted his schedule to be the same as Gao Mingcheng's. He even considered sleeping on the floor in Gao Mingcheng's room to prevent the couple from secretly making calls in the middle of the night, but he gave up the idea after being beaten and kicked out by Gao Mingcheng.
Gao Mingcheng felt annoyed just seeing his son. His smile froze instantly. He gave him a cold look, turned around and left, intending to find another place to have a quiet, private talk with Xing Zhaozhao.
After two agonizing days of waiting, Gao Hongfei finally received a call from Xing Zhaozhao. He was not about to give up and immediately chased after her, saying, "Dad, give me the phone. I need to talk to Mom."
"Get lost," Gao Mingcheng said coldly, clearly annoyed.
On the other end of the phone, Xing Zhaozhao noticed something was off about Gao Mingcheng's tone and asked curiously, "What's wrong, Mingcheng?"
Gao Mingcheng's previously cold voice immediately softened: "It's nothing, Zhaozhao, there's just an annoying fly."
Gao Hongfei: "...??!!" What kind of hardcore ruthless person is this, even cursing himself? Has he forgotten their relationship? Fly Dad.
Both father and son were having difficulty walking at the moment, and although they were not walking very fast, they just couldn't catch up.
Gao Hongfei looked at his elderly father who was not far ahead, gritted his teeth, and decided to go all out. He threw down his cane and lunged forward.
Gao Mingcheng didn't expect Gao Hongfei to pull this move. After all, he was quite old and not a child anymore, so he was completely unprepared. By the time he heard the noise behind him and tried to dodge, it was too late.
The father and son quickly collided and fell to the ground.
It's only because Gao Mingcheng has been in good health all these years that he could withstand Gao Hongfei's impact.
Gao Mingcheng slapped Gao Hongfei on the head: "Are you trying to murder your own father so you can inherit my estate? You bastard."
Taking advantage of the chaos, Gao Hongfei snatched the phone from Gao Mingcheng's hand, not forgetting to give his father a disdainful look: "Your meager inheritance isn't even enough to fill my teeth."
Gao Mingcheng: "..."
Gao Mingcheng's face turned ashen, and he slapped Gao Hongfei on the head again with a loud "smack".
Gao Hongfei ignored him completely, cheerfully holding the phone he had already snatched to his ear, his voice slightly choked as he called out, "Mom..."
Xing Zhaozhao, listening through the phone, sensed something was wrong with Gao Mingcheng and worried that something might have happened to him. She asked anxiously, "Mingcheng, what's wrong? Are you alright?" Unexpectedly, she was met with Gao Hongfei's "Mom," and she froze on the spot.
Gao Hongfei waited for a while, but seeing that Xing Zhaozhao still didn't respond, he started to panic and called out uncertainly again, "Mom?"
Xing Zhaozhao sniffed, remembering what this troublesome brat had said before: "Don't call me 'Mom.' If you call me 'Mom' one day and she's really gone, wouldn't that hurt me even more? I'd rather not call you that."
Gao Hongfei: "..." So his mother still remembers the nonsense he said before.
He raised his hand and slapped himself: "I'm sorry, Mom, I was wrong. I was too absolute before. I really didn't know such a bizarre thing would happen. I promise it will never happen again."
Gao Hongfei paused, his voice choked, and he sobbed, "Mom, I miss you, I miss you so much..."
Xing Zhaozhao's heart tightened, her nose stung, and she couldn't help but burst into tears.
The mother and son, separated by a phone, quickly broke down in tears.
When his phone was stolen, Gao Mingcheng was about to give his good-for-nothing son a good beating, but when he saw him cry like a little child, just like when he rushed home and saw him holding the lifeless Zhao Zhao, crying miserably, his eyes reddened and he couldn't bring himself to do it.
However, Gao Mingcheng soon regretted it. After crying, his good-for-nothing son started having a long phone conversation with his mother. It was his phone, and when he tried to take it back, his son dodged him and glared at him, saying, "Dad, stop messing around. Mom and I haven't finished talking yet."
Gao Mingcheng: "..." This is the opposite of the Heavenly Gang.
"Mom, I haven't had breakfast yet. I'm hungry and I want to eat the dumpling soup you make." Gao Hongfei said to Xing Zhaozhao in a coquettish tone.
Gao Mingcheng couldn't help but glare at her. At her age, still acting like a child? Has she no shame?
Gao Hongfei glanced at his father, ignoring him completely. So what if he's old? Even if he's seventy or eighty, he'll always be his mother's son. He can act spoiled however he wants. His father is just envious and jealous. He's ignoring him.
Gao Mingcheng: "..." My hands are itching; I want to beat my son again.
On the other end of the phone, Xing Zhaozhao readily agreed: "Okay, come over, I'll cook for you."
Gao Hongfei's eyes lit up: "Okay, Mom, where are you now?"
"Ask your dad, he knows." Xing Zhaozhao said, then hung up the phone and went back to make dumpling soup for her son.
Gao Hongfei handed the phone back to Gao Mingcheng: "Dad, Mom wants you to take me to find her."
Gao Mingcheng, his face grim, snatched the phone away: "I'll talk to her." But when he put the phone to his ear, he realized that Xing Zhaozhao had already hung up.
He only said one sentence to Zhao Zhao, while this kid, after checking the time, chatted with Zhao Zhao for half an hour.
Gao Mingcheng stared at Gao Hongfei with a sinister look. He really wanted to kill this kid like a Japanese soldier.
Gao Hongfei shuddered and quickly and tactfully dodged away: "I'll go and have someone prepare some things to take to Mom later."
Gao Mingcheng coldly watched Gao Hongfei run away, but ultimately didn't make a move. "Good for you, kid, you ran fast." Since he was going to see Zhaozhao later, he would forgive the kid for stealing his phone for the time being.
Gao Mingcheng got up and went to find the driver to arrange a car.
After he got into the car, he waited quite a while before Gao Hongfei finally arrived, empty-handed.
"Didn't you say you were going to have someone prepare something for your mother?" Gao Mingcheng asked.
“I’ve already asked them to wait at the entrance of the residential area,” Gao Hongfei said.
Gao Mingcheng had no suspicions until the car arrived at the entrance of the residential area and he saw a large truck carrying a container waiting by the roadside: "..."
Gao Mingcheng turned to look at Gao Hongfei speechlessly. "Can you be a little more reliable?"
